conversation according to appointment
the Delegate accepted my services.
AT the proper time Hawaiian af-

once to advance Island matters as rap

"A conference was at once had with
| the Hon. j. II. Mitchell, Senator from
Oregon, relative to bills introduced by

! cooperation sought, which was readily
granted.
These bills covered lighthouses, sur
vey of Hilo harbor, and improving Ho-
nolulu harbor.
| AT this conference 1t was distinctly
understood the Delegate would not take
part in any legislation changing the
Organic Act as contemplated in $. Il.
2S9.
The matter of lighthouses was next
taken up. The Delegate personally
called on Speaker Cannon and verified
through him the fact the lighthouse
emergency appropriation was available
for the taking over of the Hawaiian
lighthouses. He also discovered that
the bureau had not and did not COM
prehend that Hawaii was Territory
of and integral part of the United
States, and not an Insular Possession.
Armed with these facts and courteous
ly accompanied by Mr.. Haywood, the
Delegate called upon the Lighthouse
Board and made these representations,
whereupon an order was issued taking
over the Hawaiian lighthouses.

IS REVERSED
President of Mormon Church
Now Declines to Urge Wit
nesses to Go to Washington
Special Dispatch to The Call.


SALT LAKE, Utah, April 13.-After
promising the Senate committee that is
investigating the Smoot case that he
would do all in his power to secure the
attendance of church officials wanted
to testify, President Joseph F. Smith
of the Mormon Church has changed
his tack. An official announcement was
made to-day that Apostles Matthia f.
Cowley and John W. Taylor had in
formed President Smith they did not
care to go, and that he would not urge
them.
Both are accused of taking plural
wives since the manifesto abandoning
polygamy. Cowley is in Alberta, Can
ada, and Taylor is said to be in Mex
leo, both having fled when they re-
ceived word that subpenas would prob
ably be issued for them.
The announcement of President
Smiths present stand is made
through an editorial in the Deseret
News, the official organ of the church,
and it is understood that President
Smith approved the editorial before it
was published. Referring to the
promise made to the Senate commit
tee the News says:

the rapidity of big gun fire. 1 fear we
have permitted our enthusiasm to get
the better of our judgment. 1t would
seem from the dispatch that not
enough time had been allowed to
elapse between the firings. 1t is only
recently that we have permitted the
breech to be opened almost the mo-
ment the gun was fired, and in so do
ing there is necessarily a risk. Ap-
parently all but three men in the
handling-room were killed. How mar
rowly the entire ship escaped destruc-
ton outright is realized when it is re-
called that near by is the magazine
containing anywhere from so to 100
charges"
The smokeless powder is put into
the twelve-inch gun in three sections
each bag or section weighing 12O
pounds. Some officers say that the
turrets of the Missouri had no bot
toms and express the opinion that
after this accident the turrets of all
battleships viii be equipped with bot
toms for the protection of the men in
the handling-roOm underneath.
The officers of the Missouri were
especially we'll known in Washington.
Captain Cowles served as assistant
chief of the Bureau of Navigation and
most of the officers killed were widely
known here. Both Midshipman Neu-
mann and Ward are understood to
have been engaged to be married. II
is said Midshipman Neumann was to
be married to the sister of Midship-
man Ward. The two midshiDmen were
classmates and intimate friends. AT
their request they were assigned to
the same ship. A telegram received
from Mrs. Gridley, mother of Lieu
tenant Gridley, tonight requested that
the remains of her boy be shipped to
Erie, Pa.
Lieutenant William G. Davidson was
a native of Indiana and was appointed
a midshipman from South Dakota,

Navy Department Officials Appalled,
by the Terrible Disaster.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The entire
Navy Department is stunned by the
appalling catastrophe on board the
Missouri. The bureau of navigation has
been active since the first news of the
accident reached here, shortly after 4
O'Clock. Although the commanding Of
fcer Of the Missouri, Captain w. S.
Cowles, as soon as he arrived at Pen
sacola. sent dispatches to the nearest
of kin Of the men killed. the depart
ment is also sending out these an
nouncements so that there may be no
mistake.
Captain John Z. Pillsbury, assistant
chief Of the bureau of navigation, re-
mained constantly at his desk and with
the other officers of the bureau and a
clerical force started arrangements to
care for the bodies of the officers and
men. Secretary Moody is preparing
a dispatch Of sympathy TO be sent To
Rear Admiral Barker. commander In

questing him to convey TO the COM
mander, the officers and men of the
Missouri the profound sympathy Of the

tion of II. The fact, however, that
three rounds had been fired and an
other shell had been sealed and two
sections of powder rammed home when
the explosion occurred in the opinion
Of an official OF the department would
lead to an inference that the accident
might have been caused by some now
der from the previous charges which
remained in the gun when the third
charge was put in.
IL can be stated that officials of the
department for more than week
past. while rejoicing in the world
breaking. records in target practice on
our warships, have feared just such
an accident as has occurred on the
Missouri. A naval expert tonight
said:
