CRITICISING
THE SUPPLY

The naval supply ship Supply sailed
unexpectedly this morning for San
Francisco. Considerable criticism has
been directed at the action of the Off
GERS of the vessel in getting away with
out notifying the postal officials.
Inasmuch as there is to be a shortage
of mail steamers for some days owing
to the withdrawal of the S. S. Nippon
Maru, business people are put to con-
siderable bother about getting their
correspondence away The postal OFF,
cials tried yesterday to ascertain when
the vessel was to depart. They could
get no satisfaction regarding the move
ments of the vessel 1t was thought
that she would not get away for several
days About $3.50 o'clock this morning
she hiked up her anchor and slipped
away for the mainland leaving people
with mail in the lurch.

HENRY WATERHOUSE is DEAD

The news of Mr.. Warehouses; death
spread rapidly through the community

could hardly be said to be a shock.
Expressions of great respect for the
man who has long been an important
factor in all the uplifting and pro-
gressive life of the community, were
heard on all sides. The Hoholulu
Stock Exchange met at the Usual
hour, but transacted no business, ad-
journing out of respect to the memory
of Ny. Waterhouse.
At the services at the residence this
morning the Rev. Henry H. Parker,
who had known the deceased through
out his whole life, and who had labor
ed together with him long in church
and benevolent work. read the XXIIIrd
Psalm, THE Lord is my shepherd"
Rev George L. Pearson of the Me-
thodist Episcopal Cnurch, a branch Of
that great Wesleyan movement, which
had brought Mr.. Warehouses; grand
father to the western world, read
selections from the Fourteenth chapter
of st. John, Let not your heart be
troubled" Prayer was offered by Rev.
William Morris Kincaid, who was Mr..
Warehouses; pastor for several years.
The funeral services tomorrow will
be conducted by Rev, William Morris
Kincaid. The following are the
honorary pail bearers: P. c. Jones, w.

sons of his brother john will be Fred

house, John Waterhouse, George S,

The following tribute is from one
who has been intimately associated
with Mr.. Waterhouse.
1T is a sad day for a cummunity like
Honolulu when a citizen like Henry
Waterhouse is summoned by the angel
of death to leave it for the land whence
there is no returning. But in his case
case death has not been necessary to
draw forth the esteem of his fellow
citizens for in life he enjoyed the con-
fidence and affection of all who knew

G. W. Kelley, one of the Oldest
pioneers of Bessemer, and for years
joint station agent at Bessemer juno
tion with his wife, died at Brook
shire Mills, Texas, on the 7th of this
month. Mr.. Kelley was stationed at
that place on the M. X. & 7. Ry. and
was seized with spell Of chills and
fever, from the effects of which he
soon succumbed. He was prophetic
in his day. and always insisted that
the time would come when Bessemer
would extend out south beyond the
Junction and but few believed him.
He lived to see his prophecy fulfilled,
for the city now extends half mile
beyond the old junction. Deceased

Looks Like Peabody.

Things political at the capital
as they stand today would indi-
cate that Governor Peabody will
be inaugurated, it appearing that
Adams was elected through the
grossest kind OF fraud perpctrated
by the democratic political ma
chine, the same that counted Ohm
Springer out for mayor of Den
yer. There is no telling, of
course, just what will be the final
outcome OF all the court proceed
ings and Investigations, but it
looks as though Peabody would
be recognized, and he would then
probably resign, when Lieuten-
ant Governor Mcdonald would
succeed to the governorship.
