DEATH CLAIMS VETERAN CITIZEN
Joseph Popp Summoned to His
Final Rest at the Age Of
Eighty-Nine.

On the 18th of last month Joseph
Anton Popp, an aged resident OF this
city, was stricken with paralysis. A
second attack followed about two
weeks ago and death resulted early
Monday morning, the faithful wife
aud three of his children being pres
emit at the bedside when life ebbed
away. The funeral, which will be
held from the Turner Hall, will take
place this afternoon.
Mr.. Popp was one of the interesting
figures in New Olm's early history
Born in Dittigheim in the province of
Baden, Germany, on the 2lst of May,
1918, he remained there until 1845.
That year brought him his discharge
after six years of service in the army,
and he Immediately emigrated to
America. Cincinnati became his home
during the first few years of his resi-
dence in this country, and it was in
that city too, on the Goth of March,
1858, that he was married to Johanna
Schleter, the woman who survives him
as widow.
Four years later, in the spring of
1862, he brought, his. family to New
Ulm and opened clothing store on
the site where now stands the Wicher-
ski business building. His business
venture however was destined to be a
short-lived one, for in the fall Of that
year came the Indian uprising and all
it's consequent losses to the early
settlers
Mr.. Popp participated in the defense
OF the town in both of the memorable
engagements and did not leave the
city until the order came to evacuate.
Then he went to st. Paul with his wife
aud children and later to his old home
in Cincinnati. In 1864 he returned to
New Ulm, and once more engaged in
the clothing business, this time in q
store next to the Dakota House. For
a number Of years he was prosperous,
but reverses came with the grasshop-
per scourge and in the late seventies
he retired to his home on German
street and spent the remainder of his
days doing light work as a tailor.
Public affairs had little or no attrac-
ton for him and it is not known that
he ever aspired to hold public Office.
He was just a plain citizen, satisfied
with little of the cares of life and
content if he but enjoyed the friend
ship of his fellowmen. Had he lived
another year he would have been able
to celebrate the fftieth anniversary of
his golden wedding and also the nine
tieth anniversa airy of his birth, but this
pleasure which he had looked forward
too with anxious interest was denied
him.
Besides his wife, six children survive
him. They are Mrs. Emma Cook of
Roseau, Edward and William Popp OF
San Jose, California, Mrs. Title
Marigold of Los Angeles, Mrs. Lena
Snyder of Ada and Mrs. Emily Hell
drich of st. Paul. Those living in
California are unable to be here to
attend the funeral.

CAR TER TALKS Of
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

The following based on an interview
with Governor Carter appears in the
Call of May 1s:
"The cultivation and growth of
tropical fruits in the Hawaiian Is
lands is to be placed on Il scientific
basis, in order to develop the re-
sources Of the island Territory. Ac-
cording to Governor G.. X. Carter, who
arrived Yesterday on the steamship ST.
ezra, accompanied by his wife, col
lege of agriculture has been founded
with this idea in view. 1t was voted
at the last session of the Legislature
of the islands to found such an in
stitution and an appropriation of $685.
900 was set aside for the purpose.
1t is to further the plans of the uni
versity that the Governor of the Ter
ritory is here. He intends to round up
staff of professors and fill the execu-
tive chair of the institution while on
his visit, which will include an ex-
tended tour of the east, as well as
visit to Washington, ID. @.
Professor Il. w. Hilgard, the agri-
cultural expert of the University of
California, will be visited by the is
land executive today, and, largely up
on the recommendation of this retir-
ed scientist, the appointments to the
faculty of the university will be made.
At the next session of Congress the
new institution will be entitled to the
$4,000 set aside by the Federal Gov
ernment for colleges of this sort.

|AUKEA OBJECTS TO
PAYING HACK BILLS

Sheriff Iaukea has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Board OF Super
visors. relative to hack bills which he
thinks should not be charged to his
department but to that of the Attorney
Generals:
May 81. 1907.
Andrew T.. Cox, Esquire, Chairman of
the Police Committee, Board Of SUI
pervisors, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: / present you herewith
two demands covering items OF trans
portation expense incurred by the At
torney Generals Department. from the
United Carriage Co., and the Honolulu
Rapid Transit & Land Co., the total
amounting to $685..
l wish to call your attention to the
fact that during the previous adminis-
tration the Board OF Supervisors al
lowed a specific appropriation of $3.50.
over and above the regular police in
cidental appropriation, the said $3.50,
being appropriated to cover items Of
transportation expense incurred by the
Attorney Generals Department.
Since l assumed charge OF the Police
Department, or more specifically since
February /, 1907. that appropriation
has been disallowed, and all subse-
quent transportation bills of the At
torney Generals Department, with ref
erence to the County of Oahu, have
been drawn against the police incl
dental fund of $1,000.
Under the circumstances this depart
ment has no knowledge of the items
being incurred against the general po-
lice fund each month until the bills are
all In. These bills amount to consid-
cradle In the course of a month. In
fact. there are items in the demands
herewith presented, which are for SER
vices entirely outside of cases originat-
ing with the Police Department.
1t seems to me that expenditures of
this nature had best be made through
the County Attorneys office, as the
County Attorneys office and that of
the Attorney General are more init
mately related in the prosecution of
cases before the Grand Jury and the
Circuit Courts. AS a matter of fact,
the Incidental Fund now appropriated
each month for the use OF the Police
Department is barely sufficient to meet
our present needs without having to
pay expenses incurred through other
departments.
Respectfully yours.

Sheriff, County of Oahu.

JAPS MAY DEPRIVE
NJ CARTHY OF LICENSE

1t is reported that Senator Mccarthy,
| father of the Liquor law and proprietor
of the Criterion saloon, is up against
it for a renewal of his saloon license,
direct outcome of the law he was
instrumental in drawing up and get.
ting through the Senate and House in
the recent session. According to his
own statement before the Board of
License Commissioners yesterday the
new law is drawn so as to operate
against the Orientals in the saloon
business and suspicion of this fact
has been felt among the Orientals, es.
pecially the Japanese, ever since the
measure was introduced into the Legis-
lature.
Acting on this suspicion the Japa.
nese are said to have been quietly
working a game of subtle revenge
against the Senator. taking advantage
of that section of the new regulations
which reuqires the signatures OF a
majority of the persons living within
two hundred and fifty feet of the
premise for which any license is to be
issued.

consider their rights. And one Of the
rights that they are said TO consider
theirs is that Of demanding and re-
ceiving equal wages and equal advas-
tages on the plantations with those
white laborcrs being brought to Hawaii.
Those in touch with the situation state
that the Japanese are greatly discon-
tented with having to work side by

borers and receive less money for their
work, especially now when the new
laborers are green and can not do an
equal amount of work day with
the Oriental.
Important developments are expect

HAWAIrS FORTUNES AND
HOW TO ENHANCE THEM

Editor Advertiser. After thoroughly
canvassing the subject among the mem
beers of the Congressional party during
the interisland trip, and consulting
since the return with haoles. kamaaina,
and malihinis like myself, am firmly
convinced that the time is ripe for the
formation Va Hawaiian Friendly So
ciety, to be composed of those who love
these islands and live here and of those
who also love them and are not so for
tunate. So far as the members of the
Congressional party is concerned, Bar
kis seems to be willing.
The advantages of a "hands across
the sea" friendly organization could be
made many and manifold. If, how.
ever, such society accomplishes nc
more than keeping up q continual cor
respondence between the Hawaiians and
their well-wishers on the mainland
much good may result. Every one of
our visitors wishes to know even more
of these islands than he has already
learned Many of them would like to
know where they can secure additional
data and information. A Friendly So
ciety such as L suggest might by either
using the Promotion Committee as a
clearing house or by direct correspond.
ence keep the needs of these islands
ever green in the minds of their we'll
wishers. But there are other and more
substantial benefits to be secured by
cooperation.
Few of these islanders, or our citi-
Zens on the mainland, l believe, begin
to realize the very serious manner in
which the majority of the Congressman
on visiting committee get down to
the work in hand. 1t has been reve-
lation to me, and / know now that if
the hands of the Congressman with us
are upheld by the people of Hawaii
these islands need not fear for the
future.
The destiny of Hawaii has fortunate
ly fallen into the hands of men who
believe that the only way to do things
is to do them. To illustrate, Congress
man Davidson, who is with us as chair
man of the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee, has not only at his own expense
explored all of the great rivers Of
America, but when as a congressional
visitor he departed from Porto Rico, he
carried to America with him 100 pounds
of Porto Rican coffee, paid for out of
his own purse, and this coffee be had
parched in America, put up in pourd
packages and sent with instructions
how to best prepare for tie table to the
most influential people he knew. They
tried. used and asked for more. but Mr..
Davidson knew of no one in America
who handled that particular coffee and
here comes in the need of a Friendly
Society. Many of our visitors hope to
take back with them sacks of Kona
coffee, each one will gladly 90 among
his friends singing it's praises. but the
coffee men OF Hawaii must help them
selves if they expect others to help
them. Let them, with the aid of friends
in America. be ready to take the first
step that will free them from at least
one of the middlemen between them
and the consumer and, tariff or no tariff,
coffee planting will pay on these islands.
Coffee planting being mooted as the
industry of the small farmer, i con-
tinue to use this bean to illustrate the
