OHIO FIGHT FINAL.
MUST ELIMINATE LOSER.
Mr. Taft Wants Senator Friendly
to President Chosen.
IBy Telegraph 70 The Tr,bune. ]

Cincinnati, April 29-Secretary Taft. in addi-
ton to making two short speeches and longer
one on the Panama canal work here to-day
held long conference with his political ad-
vsers. No official statement was given out after
the conference
One or two important questions which have
been widely discussed in Ohio during the last
month have been settled since the Secretary
came to Cincinnati. which have not been pro-
mulgated in any kind Of official statement
There seems to be a general understanding that
the Secretary is a candidate for Senator. This
is not So He is a candidate for the Presidency
alone. but he feels that the Senator to be elected
from Ohio next year should be a friend Of the
President. That is why he will insist that in
the primary contest TO be held the candidate
who meets with defeat shall be eliminated en-
tirely from the situation He is willing TO take
that risk, and will insist that Joseph Benson
Foraker also take 1t. Should Mr. Taft win in the
primary. it be said undisputed authority.
that If he fails to be nominated for President by
the Republican National Convention he will not
seek election to the Senate by the General AS
sembly Of Ohio
The statement to-day Of Walter F. Brown, Of
Toledo. that he had not been asked to call
meeting Of the State Central Committee throws
no new light the situation. There has been
no formal demand that a primary be held In
connection with the fall election this year. but
It IS not unlikely that the Taft campaign man
agement will soon ask the committee to arrange
for primary that be held at time and In
a manner that will be satisfactory to the great
mass of Republican voters.
The assertion of Mr.. Tafts friends that he will
not take the Senatorshp matter what hap
pens. plainly calls for a declaration from Sena-
tor Foraker to his position with reference to
the Presidential nomination He must, 1T is
asserted, formally announce his candidacy for
the Presidency or declare that he does not
aspire to that office. Unless he is a candidate
for the Presidency. there will be no need of a
primary. for Secretary Taft will be OhO's
united choice. If primary is held, the defeated
candidate must comply with the Taft acceptance
of the Foraker challenge. and consent TO elmina-
ton from the Ohio situation.
It developed to-day that the local Republican
organization would not formally indorse Secre-
tary Taft for the Presidency until next year. not
withstanding any pressure brought TO bear on 1t.
The Taft managers have been trying TO bring
about such Endorsement. because OF the effect it
would have elsewhere. An ultimatum, IT is un-
derstood, was announced to-day that such in
dorsement If given at all would not be forth
coming until next year, after all municipal cleo
tions had been disposed of.

PyTH|ANS
NEW HALL

Sometime In February the knights OF
Pythias will move into their new hall
In the Harrison block, corner Fort md
Beretania streets.
The Pythians. comprising three -four
ishing lodges. have leased the entire
second or upper floor. The lodge room
which will be one OF the largst in
Honolulu, will occupy about half the
floor at the Waikiki end of the build
Ing. The other half, fronting on Fort
and Beretania streets, will be used as
a recreation hall and will be rented
for entertainments, dances, etc.
The furnishings for the lodge room
and anterooms will be elaborate. The
Pythians anticipate having one OF the
most complete and ornate lodge halls
in the Territory.
The banquet hall will have a capa-
city of about $50 guests.
The Pythian lodges now occupy the
old lodge room known as Harmony
hall on King street opposite the Young
hotel. Besides these there are the
Eagles, Sons of st. George, Masters
and Pilots Association and one or two
other associations, all of which will ac-
company the Pythians to the new hall.
The hall will be used every night in
the week and on Sundays as well.

BABE DISCOVERY

An Eastern paper says:/ The Har-
ward College Library has Just received
complete set. 635 numbers. of the
Spectator. published in the early part
of the eighteenth century. Before the
set which Harvard has acquired was
discovered 1t was thought that no COM
plete set existed. or the first series,
the Harvard Library. the Bodleian LII
brary at Oxford University, and the
British Museum had complete sets, but
no complete file of the second series
was known. For years the British Mu-
scum has offered large sum for such
q set, but seach for 1t was fruitless.
1t was by chance that Harvard STUN
belonged to a Mr.. Bement of Phila-
delphia, and along with a part of his
collection was turned over to Rosen-
bach & Co. for sale. This firm deals
In pictures and was unaware OF the
value of the volumes.
The set was listed in their catalogue
at $500 and was discovered there by w.
r. Castle, instructor in English, and
Glidden Osborne, the Harvard football
player, who Is collector of rare vol
umes. They called attention to the
to Philadelphia, and the books came to
Cambridge. The set is worth many
times what the college paid for it, be-
sides being one of the biggest literary
discoveries of recent years. To add to
the value of the collection the binding
was done by REVERE.

In the Deputy Sheriff's office there

HAWAII ADJUDGED
GOOD FOR RUBBER

WASHINGTON, December 20.-The
United States will have imported an
aggregate of nearly $5O,OOO.OOO worth of
crude india rubber at the close of the
present year, according to statement
made public today by the Bureau of
Statistics of the Department Of Com
merce and Labor. The value of the
india rubber importations has increased
more than 200 per cent. in a decade.
THE United States consumes more than
9ne-half of the worlds production, and
7the enormous growth in the importa-
ltions is attributed to the popularity of
(the bicycle and automobile. coupled
with the increased use of electricity.
The statement says the indications
seem to justify the belief that the
Philippine and Hawaiian islands are
capable of producing large quantities
of this article as a result of this Gov
ernment's establishment of nurseries in
those possessions for the distribution
of rubber plants for use of rubber
plantations

DOES NOT
LOOK WELL
tFrom Saturdays Advertiser)

A letter from President Pinkham OF
the Board of Health to Governor Car
ter WAS given out for publication yes
terday. In which the writer gives in
formation of questionable conduct on
the part of Japanese candidates for IL
cense to practise medicine.
Mr.. Pinkham utters the opinion that
the medical and professional ethics OF
very many Japanese physicians do not
correspond to those expected of and
practised by physicians of the Anglo
Saxon race" If the Japanese doctors
confined their practise to their own
race, he thinks the force of criticism
might be slightly abated in their be-
half on the ground of custom. Pro-
ceeding to deal with specific matters.
Mr.. Pinkham makes the following
statement:
II doubt IL the present Board of Med
ical Examiners can be imposed upon,
as their method of conducting exami-
nations in the Japanese language Gun
der protest) would seem to exclude any
possibility of collision or fraud.
Eat the present time there are three
japanese candidates before the Board
of Medical Examiners. One of them
am convinced has been practising med
cine at Hilo. Hawaii, and vicinity
under the subterfuge of acting as aid to
licensed physician.
TT takes charity Of judgment not to
severely condemn certain oriental
practises. An American would not re-
ceive the slightest leniency under the
following circumstances:
"A member of the board has been
approached by the interpreter for these
candidates with a proposition that as
he gets no pay for making these ex-
aminations they will pay him well for
the time consumed.
There was sent to his residence
most elegant and expensive present.
presumably with the compliments OF
the season. Although there exists no
personal acquaintance. it will be re-
tanned simply as evidence.
Another member had similar gift
rendered him, but sent it back saying
his acquaintance had been limited TO
one official interview and did not JUS
tify such acceptance.
1.-THE third member was interviewed.
but beyond the inquiry as to whether
the examination would be hard or easy,
no advances were made.
1.-THE board, OF course, is above temp
tation or influence. but here Is an I'M
questionable attempt to tamper with
and influence the Board Of Medical
Examiners.
such an attempt among Anglo
Saxon candidates would result in the
Board of Health refusing license on
ethical grounds, no matter what the
professional qualifications.
II presume the matter will pass as
an incident"
