PRINCESS AND BUSINESS WOMAN

One of the visitors to Los Angeles just
now is Princess Emma of the Bismarck
archipelago, who is stopping there TOT
a season with her husband, Paul holpe'
The princess is one of the most inter
esting women of the day. Her father
was the late James NJ. Coe OF Massd-
chusetts, a refined and scolarly gentle
man who went to the Samoan Islands
in the early '40s. He was appointed
commemorative" of the United States
government at the Samoan court and
married into the royal family, and his
eldest child is the Princess Emma. She
was educated in Sydney, Australia, ana
in San Francisco, remaining in the lat
ter place for six years, under the tutor
ship of the late Mrs. DR.. Lane.
When about eighteen years of age
Princess Emma married an English
man, Mr. Forsyth. 1t was upon his
death that the princess began her busi-
ness career. She invested the estate
left by her husband, and also her patri-
mony, in trading vessels which piled
between San Francisco and Australia,
and thence to New Zealand and the Sa-
moan islands. The trade reached such
proportions that a company was form
ed under the title of Thomas Farrell d
Co, the princess in the meantime hav-
ing married Farrell. All the money that
was cleared the princess invested in
plantations on the islands of the Bis
marck archipelago until she became the
largest landowner in the group.
On one occasion the princess was OF
great benefit to the United States Gov
eminent. She secured by negotiations
the harbor of Page Page as a coaling
station, offering twenty acres of her
own property on the island of Malulu.
Upon the death of Farrell the prin-
cess married Lieutenant Kobe of the
German army, who had gone to the Sa-
moan islands to seek his fortune.

VENEZUELA.

There is room for division of senti-
ment concerning the dispute and the
manner in which the European powers
are compelling a settlement. The pre-
sent government of Venezuela does not
command the highest degree of sym.
pathy and respect. 1t Is dictatorial,
and Is opposed by a large part of the
Venezuelan people. Its conduct has
not been such as to commend IT to the
world. 1t ought to pay its debts and
discharge all legitimate obligations
which rest upon it. 1t cannot hope
to find in the Monroe doctrine or in the
United States a screen against the
consequences of i'll doing. On the
other hand 1t undoubtedly seems to
some rather harsh to expect payment OF
claims so peremptorily at the very mo-
ment when Venezuela is embarrassed
with the results of a costly war, and
1t may seem arbitrary to do so by such
means. Other countries including
some in Europe, have delayed to meet
their undoubted obligations and to fur
nish indemnity for their mlsdeeds, and
yet have not been subjected to force, as
Venezuela now is. The question may
not illogically be raised why Venezuela
should be treated more harshly than
other equally bad offenders.-New York
Tribune.

AMENDMENTS OF
COUNTY BILL
CENTRAL COMMITTEE EXPECTS
TO BE FLOODED WITH SUCCESS
TONS IN A SHORT TIME.

The Republican Territorial Central
Committee is having several thousand
copies of the proposed county govern
ment act, for distribution throughout
the islands, in order that all bodies in
every district may have an opportunity
to study it and offer suggestions as to
changes.
There will undoubtedly be flood of
suggestions as soon as the act gets in
to general circulation, and the central
committee and members of the legis-
lature Will have a tremendous task on
their hands of sorting them out, study
ing them and adopting or rejecting
them. The following letter goes with
the copies of the act:
Dear Sir:-By this mail we are
sending you a copy of the County Bill
which has been prepared by direction
of the Republican Territorial Conven-
ton.
The Republican Central Committee
invites your careful examination of the
measure, and asks you to make sug-
gestions for changes that, in your judg-
ment, would improve or simplify the
bill and enable it's more easy and eff
fective operation in your district.
I'VE are sending a copy to every
District and Precinct Officer in your
District, and suggest that you get to-
gether as early as possible to discuss
it's features in detail, advising us
promptly of all changes that you may
recommend.
Il am, yours very truly,

ALICE KIMBALL
IS AN OVERDUE
SOME PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING
TO THINK THAT THE SCHOONER
HAVE GOTTEN INTO TROUBLE.

The ship Florence is not the only
overdue vessel from the Coast that is
causing considerable apprehension.
The little schooner Alice Kimball is
another vessel whose owners have eX-
cellent cause to worry over.
The Kimball is now out 81 days
bound from Gray's Harbor to Kahulul.
She is really out q days so far as
actual information has been received
is concerned as the last advices receiv-
ed from Kahului were not later than
last Saturday, four days ago. At that
time the Kimball had not appeared.
The length of time that the vessel
is out is not the particular cause for
worry, but it is the character of the
craft itself that has set the seafarinR
people to wondering If she has been
lost. The vessel is quite an old boat.
Two years ago she was wrecked at Ka-
huiul and abandoned by the Wilder
company which then operated her.
Later the boat was pulled off the beach
and put into commission. She was OPP
Grated in the inter-island trade for
some time but last year was sent from
Kahului with a load of scrap iron 20
the Coast. She sailed from Gray's
Harbor last month with load of lum-
Der for Kahului,
Heavy weather has been prevailing
since she sailed ana IL is thouBht hoI
unlikely that she may have round the
gales and heavy seas too much Tor her.
There is no occasion as yet for the
owners to give up hope. The little
vessel may arrive safely. Nevertheless
as a horseman would say she is car
rying weight for age"
The schooner Okanogan arrived WIN
lumber this morning from Port Gamble
after d trip of "a days, The barkentine
Klikitat, out 35 days from Port Lud-
low. is the only overdue beside the
Florence No particular worry Is felt
over the Klikitat.

.DOLE CASE DECIDED
Continued from page one.)

from the final decree in the cause with
out injury or impairment of the rights
of either party. There is no claim
made on behalf of the husband that
the allowance made by the Circuit
Judge was unreasonable or excessive.
The huband salary is $4,000 per
month. The allowance to the wife was
800 per month and $3.50 as her counsel
fees.
The single reason that the husband
under our statute can appeal, If at all
without paying or securing the amount
of the allowance even if approved by
appellate court ought to be absolutely
controlling and impel the court to deny
an appeal where one is not clearly al
lowed by statute.
ITO make law by constituting the
statute to allow an appeal is to place
1T in the power of the husband as has
been so well said to keep the case os-
cillating between the original and ap-
pellate courts almost indefinitely, to the
great expense and annoyance and per-
haps even practical denial of justice to
the PLAINTIFF and will also permit
husband who wants to avoid his marit-
al obligations, to turn his wife over
to the tender charities
Making the writ absolute in any
particular is entirely uncalled for and
is unauthorized by any of the authori-
ties cited in the opinion, and it is dig
nifying the trivial allowance of one
hundred and fifty dollars and two hun
dred and fifty dollars by the use of a
'prerogative writ where the ordinary
proceeding of appeal gives perfect pro-
lection to every right the respondent
can have in the premises"
The effect of the decision will be to
bring about a trial of the case on its
merits, as soon as Judge Gear returns,
The writ prohibiting further contempt
proceedings means that nothing will be
done to enforce the order of alimony
pending the final decision of the whole
case.
The case was argued by E. NJ Wat
son for Mrs. Dole and Judge Stanley
for the attorney general.

AMERICAN METHODS
MILL OUR RICE
w. L. HOPPER GIVES SOME INTER
ESTING INFORMATION ON THE
SUBJECT OF HAWAIIAN RICE.

A recent editorial in the Star regard
ing the rice industry of these islands
has attracted considerable attention.
The editorial took occasion to urge the
necessity of the speedy abandonment of
the Oriental methods in the cultivation
of rice in these islands and the adop-
ton of American methods. The neces-
sity for having up-to-date mills which
would be capable of turning out large
quantities of rice was apparent This
statement has caused much discussion
among the local people engaged in the
Hawaiian rice industry.
w. l.. Hopper the president and man
ager of the James A. Hopper Company
Ltd, which operates one of the leading
rice mills in the islands agrees with the
general sentiments in the editorial.
There was one statement in the
editorial however" said Mr.. Hopper
(which might give rise to an incorrect
impression. This was the statement
that in operation in the Hawaiian ISL
ands there is not the American auto
maton of complicated machinery where
the rice passes in at one end and out
of the other graded, at the rate of from
10000 to 100000 pounds a day as is
done in mills on the Mainland. While
this statement is true of probably the
majority of the mills in the islands i
not correct so tar as our mill is con-
cerned.
I'VE have been in the rice business
for the last q years. Previous to the
ratification of the Treaty of Recipro-
city, my father, James A. Hopper had
erected number of rice mills for peo-
pie in the islands but had not gone
into the industry himself when the
Reciprocity Treaty was discussed he
decided to engage in the rice industry
if the treaty was passed and as soon
as the treaty was ratified he ordered
a rice mill in Philadelphia and had the
mill installed at once.
I'm December of 1877, our mill was
| destroyed by fire. We at once rebuilt
the mill securing the very latest and
most modern machinery methods from
America and have since continued to
operate our rice mill on these lines
| We have from time to time made i'm
provements in our mill My father and
| / have made frequent visits to America
and there studied the methods of rice
milling in use in the Southern States
! The result is that We have kept our
mill provided with the latest ideas in
use in America.
our mill is an automoton in every
respect. The rice paddy is put in al
one end and comes out graded at the
other ready for the market. Our mil
is therefore practically the same thai
| is used in the states. There are nc
Oriental methods in our course of mill
ing whatever. The output justifies this
| contention for the capacity of the mil
is considerably over 10000 pounds OF
rice a day and has been from it's in
ception."
