COMMERCIAL
CLUBS GUESTS
Two interesting Addresses on
the Countries of the
Far East.

The Commercial Club had as guests
at luncheon yesterday two distinguish
ed gentlemen, each of whom had mes
sage of Importance to give from the
Far East, a message which was of both
interest and Importance to the mem
bers of the club and the institutions
and classes they represent. These men
were the Rev. Dr. J. H De Forrest, for
thirty years a missionary in Japan, and
Mr.. Mason Mitchell who has until late
" been United States Consul at Chun-
king in the far western province of
Szechuen, China.
Mr.. James Wakefield presided and in
troduced the two gentlemen in a brief
but thoughtful address of which the
theme was that misunderstanding be-
tween peoples were the most prolific
source of international differences. He
spoke of the Crimean war which plung-
ed nations into debt and misery and
was caused by a misunderstanding.
Rev. DR.. De Forrest was the. first
speaker, and it was of the character of
the Japanese and of her merchants that
he spoke.
Mr. De Forests Address.
Everywhere | CO." he said, 81
am told that the Japanese merchants
are tricky and dishonest. That opinion
seems to be everywhere prevalent. Now
first let me say that the people who
have made Japan what it is, a great
people and great nation, are not her
merchants. The people who have mould
ed her and given her her spirituality
and her ideals are first of all her samu
raj, and second her farmers, and last
of all her merchants. The samurai who
developed her learning and her ideals
valued three things; they valued first,
second, life, and then
they set sort of value on silver and
gold. But the samurai to this day do
not value money; the gentlemanly class
do not, and even the coolle class do
not to so great an extent as other peo-
Piles. Even tips are not to be given
as money in Japan, but the money is
to be wrapped up in a little paper,

ECLIPSE'S LONG BOAT
WAS NOT UNSEAWORTHY
Strange Report on Rotten Boat of Foundered
Ship Causes Commissioner AImy to
Secure Damaging Evidence.

There is a niger IN the marine
woodpile, and United States Shipping
Commissioner II. \. AImy is certain
that the African has shown his head,
because of a letter he recently received
from Washington in regard to charges
of members of the crew of the i'll
fated American ship Eclipse which was
abandoned at sea last January, that the
small boat in which the crew finally
landed at Hama, Maui, sixteen days
afterward was unseaworthy. The Wash
ington authorities stated the charges
had been investigated at San Fran
cisco and the report from that city was
to the effect that they were not .sus-
tanned and the boat was seaworthy.
In response to this letter Commits
sioner Almy is forwarding to Washing
ton substanriation of the original
charges in the form of affidavits made
here last February by members of the
crew of the Eclipse and by a report
from w. o. Aiken, Deputy Collector of
Customs for Kahului, whose report on
the boat shows that it was in a rotten
on arrival at Hama.
On January II, 1908, the Eclipse was

rife gale, and at Captain Larsen s or
ders the crew took to the boats and
started for the Hawaiian Islands. The
vessel was en- route from Newcastle at
the time. The officers and crew left
the sinking vessel in the long boat and
the captain s gig. The gig capsized
and the seamen IN that boat were taken
into the long boat, thereby crowding
it. Only by dint of hard work was
that boat kept afioat, for the ribs
started from the stem and she leaked
almost like sieve. Ropes, canvas and
spun yarn were used to hold the craft
together. Three men died during this
terrible trip of sixteen days, and when
the rest arrived at Hama, Maui, many
were almost physical wrecks from ex-
posure and sloshing around in salt
water.
They were brought to Honolulu and
were sent to the Queen s hospital for
treatment Three of the men made af
fidavits as TO the unseaworthiness of
the boat in which they had arrived, and
also made affidavits as to the captain s
gig, which they claimed was not fit
to be launched. These affidavits were
and sworn to before notary
public and sent to Washington. They
were referred to the District Attorney
there and by him to the Shipping Com

WALLER SAID
NOTHING TO
VIDA
Henry's Stump.Speech
Statements Are All
Denied.

tEI made no reference whatever to
Mr.. McCandless' money in connection
with his nomination as the party can
didate for Delegate to Congress-, nor
stated that I was displeased at his
nomination, as is being stated on the
stump by Henry Vida. ''-Gilbert j.
Waller.
s'I do not believe that my money
was considered by the Democratic par
ty when the nomination at the head
of their ticket was offered to me. L
believe that the Democrats nominated
me because i had taken up the land
question in che way that the party ap-
proved of and nominated me believ-
ing that l am sincere in that policy
and the general policy of Democracy. :"
Il. L. MeCandless.
These statements were made yester-
day afternoon in answer to statements
made on the stump during the past
couple of days by Henry Vida, La
korula candidate for Supervisor, in
which he quotes G. j. Waller to the
effect that McCandless was given
Democratic nomination because he had
money that the party wanted, that Me-
~Gandless nomination was not approved
by him (Waller) because he had not
ebeen long enough in the party to ask
for party support for office. He further
quotes Mr.. Waller as saying that be did
not approve of the tactics at the Demo
cratic county convention in jobbing
Vida out of a nomination and was dis
satisfied with the Democratic ticket as
- whole.
Vida repeated these statements to an
Advertiser reporter yesterday after
noon, referring the reporter to Mr. Wal
Ter himself for confirmation.
81 asked Mr.. Waller, after he had
told me that had not been in the
party long enough to seek a nominal
tion, what about Link McCandess, who
had joined the party the same time as
l had, and what about Joe Fern in the
last election, who went out beaten from
the Republican convention and got a
nomination right afterwards from the
Demoerats9 / asked him if McCand-
less nomination was not one of dollars
and cents
Waller hesitated and turned red.
Then he said: | will tell you frankly,
Vida, McCandless did get his nominal
tion because he had money and the par
ty needed it.. | then said that under
those circumstances there was no use
of me trying to get a nomination, be-

The latest undertaking of the

Speaking of it John H. Kirby OF

said:
"This is a matter of vital inn

at the top of the list of States.
In asking your cooperation, we
feel that it is as much to the in

Texas to have a giant exposition
as it is to the citizens and mis-
cellaneous business interests,
and we feel that we should work
