DENT TOLD HIM NOT TO RESIGN
The Advertiser publishes the follow
ing this morning from Its Washington
correspondents
WASHINGTON, d. c., November 10
Secretary Atkinson, of Hawaii, left
here today for San Francisco. He will
stop i'm Chicago for a day or two and be
Joined there by Commissioner General
of immigration, who, as already cabled
to the Advertiser, is to sail on the Ko-
rea for Honolulu to witness the land
ing of immigrants from Funchal.
The President is greatly interested in
the new immigration scheme for Ha-
wall. He hopes the plan will be sue
cess i'm every particular and wants
Commissioner Sargent to go to Homo
lulu to see personally that the immi-
grants are given a square deal that
they are allotted the land promised
them and that it is good land. He IS
greatly interested in preventing the
naturalization of the islands and be-
| lieves the plans now being executed
are most likely to prevent orientaliza-
! ton. The President not only wants
many immigrants from Europe to go to
the islands but he has been giving
close attention of late to the land situa-
ton in the islands and is determined to
do all in his power to prevent the ac-
QUESTION of large tracts of land by pri-
vate corporations.
COOPER HAS NO SHOW
Many of his ideas about OrientaI'
and also about lands in Hawaii the
President has had from Labor Commits
sioner Charles p. Neill The latter II
unite as much interes ted in the lmmi
grafton question as the President ah'
has talked to him enthusiastically
about the prospects of it. In that con
nection it is believed that the Presi
dent understands the significance o
the occasional mention of Henry r.
Cooper for the next governor of the ISL
ands. Unless the situation change
materially Mr.. Cooper will stand m
show for the governorship when GOV
ernor Carriers term expires.

The new Secretary of the Interior
James r. Garfield, now COMMISSIONS
Of Generations. who will enter upol
his duties March 4 next as has JUS
been announced, will give more atten
ton to Hawaii than the Interior De
partment heretofore has been giving
He will make Hawaiian affairs more o
a feature and will personally inquir
into problems affecting the insular wei
, fare. This is the result of talks MI
. Garfield has had with the Presiden
Secretary Atkinson has also been talk
ing Hawaii to both officials. Since b
returned from New York he has ha
two hours interview with the Pres
4 dent in which the land and immigra
r ton questions were fully gone owe
!. The President is stoutly backing Sec
rotary Atkinson and especially re
: quested that Mr.. Atkinson should No
resign the secretaryship to go int
private employment.
A ROW IN THE FAMILY.
There may be little fur flying whe
, Mr. Atkinson gets back to Honolulu
= He will want to know why GovernC
, Carter cabled to President Rooseve
that his (Atkinson's) leave would M
be extended. The President prompt
assured Mr.. Atkinson that his leaY
would be extended for a month and
was done. Mr.. Atkinson, however, be
lieves that Governor Carter woul
have done likewise had he known
the time of cabling what Mr. Atkinso
was doing.
LEGISLATIVE DISBURSEMENTS
Secretary Atkinson has arranged
give a bond for 1000 to cover his dis
bursement of the 100000 for the e,
] penses of the Legislature of Hawai-
He first came to washington to al
range about this at the request of Ma
I lyman. chief of the Bureau of Al
: nointments in the Treasury Depar
ment. It is said to have been an Over
: sight that the appropriation of Soo'u'
was so made that none of it can /
used to pay the salaries of member
Of the legislature. When the appropr
alton is made for next year 1t Is Pre-
=, nosed to make the correction and II

he attempted this winter, whereby u
nresent appropriation can be used
