ONE OF MILLIKEN
BROTHERS DEAD

Edward F. Milliken died yesterday, a
cablegram to c. Hedemann, manager
of Honolulu Iron Works Company, re-
ceiving the sad news by cable. His
death must have been very sudden"
Mr.. Hedemann says, las l was not
aware that Mr.. Milliken was even sick,
although we have had letters from the
firm by every mail.
Mr.. Milliken was married a couple
of years ago and his young wife died
this summer. He visited the islands
about six years ago and made a num-
Der of friends. He was the senior
partner of Milliken Bros, the other
partner being his brother, Foster Mil
liken, also well known to "A number OF
people in the Hawaiian Islands. About
year ago the firm of Milliken Bros
was Incorporated, and they have just
completed perhaps the largest rolling
plant in the United States for the pur-
pose of procuring their own raw ma
terial to be used in their steel struc-
tural manufacturing business"

new man
is FRIENDLY

Secretary a. l.. c. Atkinson. in n let
ter TO Governor Carter. speaks with
much satisfaction Of an interview he
has had with Mr. Strauss
The significance of this interv ew lies
IN the fact that Mr.. Strauss is the man
designated to succeed Secretary Met
calf. of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor, in the contemplated Cabi
net changes. Mr.. Atkinson. as presi-
dent of the Board of Immigration, was
glad of the opportunity to consult with
Mr. Strauss regarding the Hawaiian
immigration policy
1t would be embarrassing to the Ter
ritorial administration II the steps
taken, with the approval Of Secretary
Metcalf, to introduce labor seuti,rs o.
citizenship material We're to be set at
naught by Mr.. Strauss on his accession
to office.
Governor Carter is gratifled to gath
er, from Mr.. Atkinson's report of the
interview, that Mr.. Strauss took a
friendly attitude toward the immigra-
ton policy of the local administration.
He will therefore be unlikely, on TAX
ing office, to raise any obstacles
thereto.
