TO HAVE REAL HAWAIIAN LUAU
POI, FISH, SEAWEED, ETC, SHIP
PED TO WASHINGTON.
The Feast Will Be In Honor of the
Birthday of Former Queen Liliuo-
kaiani.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-The steamer
Alameda, from Australia via Apia and
Honolulu. brings the following from
the latter place. under date of Aug. IS:
Washington City will have a real Ha-
Waiian Iuau. with poi, fish and other
dellcacies, leis, music and dancing.
Prince David Kawananaloa puts I'D for
the luau. BY the Dorlc he shipped two
boxes. weighing 1.200 pounds, contain
ing all required for putting on an elab-
crate feast. He left for Washington
by the same steamer.
The poi, fish sea. weed, etc. were
frozen in ice by the Hawaiian Electric
company and then Securely packed to
keep month or so. From San Fran
Washington They will not be opened
until the Gay of the luau.
The feast is to be given in honor of
former Queen Liliuokalani and will
take place on her birthday, Sept. 2. All
the Hawaiians in Washington and
those visiting in the east at the time
will be invited to be present Arrange
ments viii also probably be made to
take the Quintette club and native
dancers from Omaha to Washington for
the day. There will be some prominent
American guests, chiefly members OF
congress.
The luau is a novelty and will doubt
less create considerable of a sensation
in Washington. Nothing Of the kind on
so large a scale has ever been attempted
before. If the weather Isl fine the feast
will take place in true Hawaiian style
under lanai on some fit lawn. Other
wise a house Will be used for the pur-
pose. Prince David will spend about
five months in the east, visiting all of
the big cities and points of interest.
The cruiser Boston sailed for San
~ Arro oh
along the wharves as she sailed out of
the channel with her great flag flying
and her long homeward bound pennant
streaming in the wind.
The trouble which has arisen over the
importation of labor from Madeira to
the Hawaiian islands has resulted in
the authorities at Washington asking
information from Special Agent Sewell.
Consul Jones letter complaining to the
administration of the contract labor
system Of the Hawaiian islands has
been forwarded here from Washington,
and is so replete with transformation
that the local authorities will pay but
little attention to the letter. save to
correct the letter of Consul Jones and
return it to Washington. To correct
il, however. would be to practically re-
write it, for there are very few words
of actual fact in it.
The incident is important because it
shuts off a number of laborers the
planters had calculated upon for the
next quarter. Moreover. it will doubt
less intercept any further shipments
that might be attempted In fact, Ma
deira as d labor market may in future
be regarded as closed

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Feature On Chicago Board of Trade
Was the Strength of Corn.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-At the opening and
for Il short time after. wheat was influ-
enced by the strength of corn. Shorts
were having Il big scramble in that pit.
and their eageTneSS 10 get under cover
had some effect on shorts in wheat.
Longs were out of the market for the
time being and prices advanced for both
September and December December
opened unchanged at 1873 and advanced
10 Hu441s. September opened q shade
higher at 7124Q17s and advanced to Y.
The demand was small, however and
news IN general favored the bears a SELL
ing movement set in at the advance which
was almost entirely professional at first.
nut which. finally brought outside longs
10 the market and induced q good deal OF
liquidation, resulting in Il material de-
cine IN prices all around. The market
became extremely duh and after II o clock
prices kept within a comparatively mar
row range But with sentiment faVoring
the selling side, rallies were inVaria biy
followed by fresh attacks by the bears.
Both domestic and foreign crop news was
favorable. Shows crop summary esti-
mated the yield of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas at about 100000 bushels of spring
wheat, and other reports indicated a bet
ter condition of crops in the northwest
than has been stated. The Roumania
crop was also said to be far better than
previously reported. The cash situation,
however continued good and this was a
supporting factor to the market. The
market was diligently hammered by the
support materialiZed and after Septem-
Der had declined to 717s and December to
1919, the market became steadier. Sep
TENDER reacted to 7lSsd1$4 and Decem-
Der TO 1875. These We're the closing figures.
There was big trade IN corn, especially
in September. kumors We're current of
squeeze in that option, and judging from
the anxiety of shorts TO cover. had some
foundation. Leading commission houses
were heavy buyers. The excellent cash
demand and moderate receipts strength
ened the situation. Distant futures were
firm with September. but did not hold
their strength. September closed 3sGl2
higher; December closed unchanged.
Oats. in the main. followed corn. The
covering movement in September corn
caused like action in September oats, and
that future was strong and higher most
of the session. September and Decem-
Der closed a shade higher.
Provisions We're slow and practically
featurelesS. The general tone was steady,
but without material changes in prices.
Packers bought sparingly of September
ribs and lard and reported a good job
bling trade. Selling was mostly from the
outside. AT the close. September pork

DC higher.

DEATH OF VIM. GEDDES.
Pioneer of Weber County Passed
Swiftly But Peacefully Away.

William Geddes, an aged and respect
ed resident of Plain City. died suddenly
at his home in that place Thursday
evening. Mr.. Geddes was apparently
we'll up to a few moments before he
was stricken with heart failure and
carried away. He was feeling remark
ably well at dinner time and in the af-
ternoon insisted on going out to the
threshing machine which was threshing
his grain. He wanted to assist, and
was holding the sacks open for a young
man TO fill as the grain came from the
machine. Suddenly he fell over and
sank to the ground when he tried to
rise. The young man assisted him to
the house. Although suffering keenly.
Mr.. Geddes retained his faculties and
spoke to those about him. He asked
that his shoes be removed, and while
this was being done death came. 1t
was all over in a few moments from
the time of the attack. MIR. Geddes
was one of the earliest citizens of Plain
City and had reached the age of sc
years, months and IA days.
He had a number of children, among
them a. s. Geddes, formerly county
commissioner of Salt Lake county.
The funeral services will occur SUM-
day, Aug. q, in the Plain City meeting
house, at p. m. Friends are invited.

LAWYERS ARE SUED.
Former Client Wants Money From L,
r. Rogers and D. Evans.

Thomas Nelson filed suit yesterday
in the Second district court which
makes some rather strong allegations
against David Evans and Lindsay r.
Rogers, who We're formerly law part
ners here. The plaintiff alleges that the
attorneys We're employed to prosecute
the suit for damages against the South
ern Pacific, suit growing out of the
death by accident of Charles A. Nelson.
who was killed while shipping some
sheep eastward. The terms of the con-
tract were, the plaintiff alleges. that
the attorneys were to receive half of
all money recovered.
The attorneys were to secure and pay
all witnesses and also pay court and
officers fees. The case was tried three
times, being reversed twice by the SUI
preme court. In the end a judgment
cured. Plaintiff claims that he eXpeRd-
go time and money in getting witnesses
and practically furnished the teSti-
mony. His services, he claims, entitle
him to one-third of the amount of
Evans & Rogers half of the judgment,
or s1.193.3S. which defendants refuse to
pay. Williams, Van Colt & Sutherland
are the attorneys for the plaintiff.
The above story was shown to Mr.
Rogers last evening, but after reading
il he said that as Mr.. Evans had had
the entire charge of the case, he would
be the man to approach with reference
to it, Mr.. Evans could not be seen,
owing to the lateneSS of the hour.
