THE MEETINGS
HELD IN
TOWN
Rallies on Fort Street
and at AaIa
Park.

Everybody but Catheart got boost
at the big Republican rally held at the
corner of Fort and Hotel street last
night, which was attended by big and
attentive crowd. The meeting was live
ly if not particularly enthusiastic and
this hveliness c1inaxed when Chairman
Jack Lucas hoped off the platform and
got stranglehold on an interrupter in
the crowd, requiring several friends and
two policemen to break him loose.
1t was the perennial question of the
employment of Oriental labor that star
ted this racket and also found the chair
man and one of the orators contradict
ing each other on the platform, Bob
Shingle being the orator in question.
Mr.. Shingle had 'fnailed a lie'' that
Orientals were being employed on Fed
eral government works when Jack
Lucas, the chairman, interrupted and
cited the employment of "bunch of
Chinese, who are no more citizens than
my boot isl on the Federal hospital

Mrs. Samuel Parker died yesterday
afternoon at the Queen IS Hospital short
| ly after 2 clock, of heart failure, fol-
flowing successful operation for can
eer of the breast. The operation was
| had in the forenoon, and took the at
tention of the surgeons Drs. Judd, Hod-
gins and Waterhouse for over two
hours. Mrs. Parker rallied from the
operation shortly after noon and at 2
O'Clock was apparently on the road to
recovery, and lad held brief eonver-
sation with Col. Parker. Within five
minutes Mrs Parker passed away, a
sudden change in her condition causing
nurses and doctors to be called post
haste to her side. The remains were
removed in the afternoon to the old
Campbell homestead on Emma street,
where they will rest until the funeral,
which may not take place until about
November IL or II, in order that two
daughters may arrive from San Fran
cisco.
The announcement of Mrs. Parker S
death was a shock to the community.
To many it was news even that Mrs.
Parker was i'll or had been taken to
the hospital. But it was greater
shock to the family and friends when
they learned of her sudden death, as
the news had gone out that Mrs. Par,
ker would recover. The family of the
deceased was Frustrated with grief and
during the afternoon and evening init
mate friends and large number of
Hawaiians, among whom were aged
pensioner's of Mrs. Parker's bounty,

NEWELL TALKS
ABOUT HIS
WORK.
Fine Audience Greets
Him at Opera
House.

Mr.. Newell's address descriptive OF
Ghe reclamation work in the arid
regions of the United States, under the
auspices of the Chamber of Commerce,
at the Hawaiian Opera House last even
ing, was very well attended. There
was a good house and the most atten-
tive interest. Boxes were reserved and
occupied by Governor Frear and his
party, officers of the Chamber of Com
meree, of the Merchants Association,
and of the Commercial Club. The audi
ence was representative, and included
very many people of prominence.
Governor Frear in introducing the
subject and the speaker said that it
had been Supposed that the public
domain in the United States was so
large that everyone who wanted could
secure 160 acres of farming land prac-
tically by asking for it, for generations
yet to come But it had been found
that there, as here, large as the public
domain is, because of it's arid character
or for other reasons, most of this do

called at the Campbell homestead to
offer their coincidence.
So far from knowing that she was
facing the crisis of her life, Mrs. Par
ker believed that she would be con
valeseent in short time. On Friday
she gave luncheon for friends and
she spoke then of the operation she
would undergo the following day and
said that she hoped she would be con-
valescent af an early date so that she
could receive them at the hospital. On
Friday afternoon she went to the hos
pital accompanied by Col. Parker, and
was visited by her two daughters, the
Princess Kawananakoa and Mrs. Walt2r
Macfarlane. Yesterday afternoon about
1 o'clock the daughters were at the hos
pital and left there for their homes,
assured that their mother was getting
along as well as could be expected.
Upon them the shock fell with crush
ing force, and both were prostrated last
night.
Cablegrams were sent to the Misses
Muriel and Beatrice Campbell, who are
attending school in California, and to
Ernest Parker in San Francisco, and
they, accompanied by Mrs. Cunha, will
leave for Honolulu or the S. S. China
here November 8. Owing to
Mrs. Parker having been one of the
trustees of the Campbell Estate with
]. o. Carter and Cecil Brown, cable
gram was sent last night to Europe
to the latter, who is touring the world
with his daughter and her friend Miss

OFFICIAL RAIN GAUGE.

A postal card from Hilo received
yesterday shows the official rain gauge
in the form of cylinder resembling
the smoke stack at Olaa mill. The
sign "Oficial rain gauge" is nailed
to cocoanut tree just under the
branches and on a level with the top
of the gauge. It is the work of a
Japanese boy employed in the Hilo

They do politics in a strenuous way
over on Hawaii. Recent reports from
that fair land of showers and sunshine
are to the effect that the bad egg crop
has been cornered by the straight ticket
Republicans and that some of them wax
wealthy in the cigars they get every
time they hit the bullseye. 1t does not
do for amateur spellbinders to invade
Hawaii and essay any performances.

politician who can gain weight on the

Big Island politics and knows what he

knowledge of the game at the meeting

speak. A few men had been dragged

And Carries Babes From the
Burning Room.
Aged Lady Sustains Painful Burns
About the Face but the Children
are Unframed.

Rushing into the bed chamber
which was a mass of smoke ana
flames, Mrs. Eva Dorfe OF South
vine street, seized her two grand
children and carrying one under
each arm, made her way to SAFETY.
The little ones, when rescued were
almost suffocated from the intense
smoke but they will recover.
The fire occurred at O'CLOCK

at home alone with her two grand
children, aged and years res

Regan were up town but be"ore
leaving the home, Mrs. Regan had
put the children to bed.
About 3 O'Clock Mrs. Dorfe had
occasion to go upstairs and upon
opening the stair door, she was
startled when cloud of smoke
burst in her face. Without scarcely
moments hesitation she dashed
up the smoky staircase and blindly
feeling her way through the fire
and smoke reached the bedside Of
the children. The lady's hair
was badly burned and her cheeks
were blistered, the injuries being
sustained as she passed through a
sheet of flames as she entered the
bedroom where the infants were
sleeping. SO
A fire alarm was sent in from

quickly responded and by the use
OF chemicals soon had the fire un-

Mouser Says His Six Counties
Will Hold Primaries According
to the Call.

Following important conferences at
Taft headquarters yesterday the Taft
Headers felt justified in declaring the
Thirteenth Congressional district
would not be captured by the Foraker
men. Because of the personal in
lfluence of Warren G.. Harding and
Judge w. y. Davis of the supreme
|court in Marion, and the Influence
|of Editor Harding's paper In the
southern part of the district, and that
|of 1. F.. Mack of Sandusky at the
northern end the Foraker men thought
they might run away with two ma
|tional delegates from the Thirteenth.
The initial attempt was made Mon
|day night when news dispatches had
lit that the Erie county committee
had rescinded its declaration for Taft
jmade last summer. What this
amounted to will be apparent from
the following statement made by
Manager Vorys:
According to information re-
|ceived from Chairman Clark of the
Erie county committee only nine
members Of the committee were pres
ent in person at the meeting Monday
night and only 13 were present in
person or by proxy out of total
membership of 81. Chairman Clark
states that substantial majority OF
the committee is for Taft, as It was
when the Erie county committee
adopted the Taft Endorsement.
