HOBSON SPEAKS
FOR PEACE.
HERO OF THE MERRINIAC HINTS
AT INTERNATIONAL CON-
STITUTIONAL SYSTEM.

Capt. Richmond p. Hobson of Ala
bama was the principal speaker at
n mass meeting of the peace society
of New York city. Capt. Hobson
among the other things said: with
the approach OF the second Hague
conference it is OF great importance
that the attention OF the whole
world be turned to the question Of
peace The business that is selfish
cannot grow to large proportions
and Is destined to fall; the corpora
tion that persists in depressing will
be ground TO powder; the nation
that remains isolated and depends
upon ornaments to exploit weaker
people will lose its colonies, will
lose the commerce OF the world and
lose its own standing among the
great nations. Birds OF prey. beasts
OF prey, men OF prey. nations OF
prey are going to the wall Tho
test for fitness to survive has be
come the capacity and willingness
to serve and cooperate, and we
now behold the first law OF Nature.
the law of self-preservation. trans
ferred from the side OF war TO the
side Of peace.
at is my opinion that the sue
cess OF this great movement for
peace will be secured by followir q
the path already mapped out by
America at home, by providing an
international constitutional system
that will guarantee TO each nation
complee charge OF its own local ar
fairs OF the world and will secure
1t from aggression by others We
have worked out the system in our
own life and are thus constituted
the logical leader in constructing p
similar system for the world. As
a practical man, realize that our
standing and influence with mill
tary powers that would tend to ig-
more arbitration must depend upon
our country's navy. There Is n.
question in my mind that the surest
safeguard against the actual out
break OF war, for ourselves and 70,
the world, during the period %
transformation through which we
are passing, would be the naval
power in the hands OF the peace
nation"

ALOHA RECEIVES.

1'Like bit of Hawaii transplanted
appeared the parlor of Hotel Lanker-
SHIN last night The Mobiles of Aloha
Temple and their ladies entertained
the members of other temples with a
reception and the function was one
of the pleasantest that has been held
at any time during the week.
To afford entertainment for their
guests the hosts secured the services
of the Hawaiian native band and
throughout the evening the dusky mu-
sicians rendered instrumental and
vocal selections from the folk songs
of their native isles. The weird strains
of the music seemed strangely fitting
to carnival-tide and many of the guests
of the hotel fingered near the doors of
the parlor and drank in the music
The Mobiles and ladies of Aloha had
provided supply of yellow leis which
they gave their guests as souvenirs
AS each visiting Noble received his
lei he placed it about his neck, while
the ladies twined theirs into their hair
or draped them over the front of their
dresses. A number of festal leis of red
carnations were provided for the ladies
who received and the picture presented
by the garlands of bright colored flow
ers was striking one.
The parlors of the hotel had been
decorated in honor of the occasion,
yellow leis being everywhere in evil
dence. Potted ferns bound with yellow
ribbon were placed about the room,
while the gorgeous banner of the tenn
pie, in red and gold, occupied con-
spicuous position.
The receiving line was made up of
the following ladies: Mrs. George II.
Angus, Miss Angus, Mrs Samuel John
son, Mrs. J. j. Belser and Mrs. Thomas |

the most POPULAR
Much more could be written about
the successes of the Hawaiian contin-
gent. In body or as individuals they
made a good impression. Along the
streets, when Aloha Patrol came into
sight, the people would exclaim "Ohi
there comes Honolulu and make a
rush to get closer. This enthusiasm
was general, even though some people
could not understand why Aloha car
ried the British colors! A number of
amusing discussions on this point were
overheard, but in each instance there
was someone in the crowd who knew
the Hawaiian colors and upheld Alo-
pilikia.
The deplorable accident to Noble
Lishman cast gloom over the Aloha
visitors until they received assurances
that he was resting easily and would
recover. This prevented number of
entertainments being given en- route
but in every other way the Hawaiian
Mobiles speak of their trip, and So
journ here, as being the most delightful
experience within their memory.

Wherever Aloha went good promo
ton work was accomplished, and as a
result of meeting the Hawaiian Shrin-
ers other Shriners and friends have
since then been going to the Chamber
of Commerce building to see the stere-
opticon views of Hawaii, wanting to
know more about the land from which
these Mobiles came. That much good
will result is certain.
The newspaper correspondents are
sending home to their respective pa
pers many good accounts of the shrin-
ers' conclave, in which Hawaiian No
bles receive worthy notice. The San
Francisco Chronicle man, who wrote up
the great Shriner drill tournament, had
this to say:
"Least on the list was Aloha (Hono-
lulu), patrol of spearsmen, with the
Hawaiian eolors flying from their spear
heads, and commanded by Colonel
Samuel Johnson. The Boston and Mon
tana band carried them on to the field
with Hawaiian war piece. The music.
their spears and colors at once caught
the crowd, which proceeded to I'M
burden itself. Aloha Patrol put up a
unique, bewildering and startling spear
drill, the more thrilling because it was
silent performance Loud and long
were the cries of 'Mela Kei Hail.,
when, at the close, in patrol front they
sang their Hawaiian anthem. The an
dlenee went wild, and they could not
retire until they had rendered other
native melodies. Islam and MosIem

"The crowd, anticipating their adj
vent with pleasure, had a long wait
before they caught glimpse of their
favorites, the Aloha Patrol from Homo

Der OF representative men from all
parts of the United States have had
their attention called to Hawaii as
during the Shriners conclave held in
this city during the past week. The
long journey OF Aloha Temple would
have been well worth while Just to Sc
cure the good win of Los Angeles
business people, but much more than
this was accomplished, for it is no
exaggeration to say that in every State

lar attraction OF the Los Angeles

At the beautiful Hotel Lankershim,
the Hawaiian contingent made many
friends. 1t was very fortunate, indeed,
that this hotel could be secured, for
it was there possible to t'mix' with
the most prominent Shriners from all
over the United States. The change of
hotels was made the day after Aloha s
arrival, and thereafter the Lankershim
gaiety increased very noticeably.
One of the events of the week which
also brought Hawaii well to the front
is referred to in the Times as follows:
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-10-23

to it's repair agreement and equally
determined that no new bridge
shall be built unless the w. w. P.
Co. is willing to bear half the cost.
The councils recent actions in
regard to the bridge matter indi-
cate that the entire membership is
of the same opinion. For once in
the history of Spokane, at least,
the w. w. P. Co. is confronted with
an administration it can't handle.
The real poker in the Richards
proposition, however, is the fact.
accepted by attorneys, that in no
probability would the supreme
court render the decision upon
which the w. w. p tender is made.
But the bridge question would be
hung up for year or two, which
is exactly what the company is
playing for.
The w. w. P. Co. evidently hopes
to elect an administration of it's
own again some day.
In this connection the mayors
brief comment in submitting Prof.
Burr's report on the Lincoln and
Front bridge site to the council last
night is significant. He unequivo-
cally endorsed the proposition.
Prof. Burrs report on this project
was referred to be considered Tues
day evening. 1t is addressed to
Mayor Moore and follows in full:
"At your request have inspect
ed a possible site for a bridge
across the Spokane river in the city
of Spokane, extending from the
northerly end of the present Mon
roe st. bridge, approximately to the
intersection of Front av. and Lin
coin ST., northerly of the w. w. P.
Co. Office. A bridge built on this
site would be but little more than
half as long as the present Monroe
st. bridge, and it would make that
outcrops at this site on both sides
of the river sufficiently for founda-
ton purposes. The extreme south
erly end only of this alternative
structure might have to be support
ed upon piles, while is perfectly
feasible and would not in any way
be a serious matter. This location
as bridge site has marked advan-
tages over that at Monroe st. Not
only would the entire structure be
shortened nearly half the length of
the Monroe st. bridge, but the main
or river span could also be short
err, and on account of the greater
elevation of the rock. this bridge
would be of less height above it's
foundations. also resulting in less
masonry. The cost of such an al
tentative structure, designed with
the same capacity of roadway and
sidewalks as the Monroe ST. bridge,
would probably not much. If any,
exceed six-tenths of the estimated
cost of either of the new structures
covered in my report to you of Oct.
II. My general recommendation in
that report would not be changed
except that the decreased cost of a
reinforced concrete bridge on this
location would make that type of
structure all the more desirable.

IS ALLEGED

A suit denounced by the defen-
dant in an affidavit as an attempt at
blackmail was filed in the supe-
rior court today in the name of
Anna Foller against Louis Ziegler,
prominent and prosperous pioneer
and owner of the Ziegler block. The
woman was employed in the Ziegler
household as a domestic and alleges
a cause for action to recover $4,000
for mental pain and anguish alleged
to have resulted from attempted as
sault.
Mr.. Ziegler is II years of age
and has lived in SPOKANE since
1879. He and his family are high
ly respected.
The plaintiff was sent to the
Ziegler household by Rev. Seth,
who conducts an employment
agency for hired girls, and accord
ing to William Ziegler, Rev. Seth
has been active in trying to obtain
a cash settlement in the girls favor
in consideration of dropping the
suit. The last offer was $500, it is
stated.
The elder Mr.. Ziegler declared
he would face the notoriety atten-
dant upon a trial rather than pay
cent through such process. In
addition to filing charge of
blackmail and affidavit of inno-
cence today, he demanded a bill of
particulars. Don Danielson is at
torney for the complainant and MI
yum & Nuzum for the defense.
