HONOR MEMORY
OF 7. R. WALKER

Charles NJ. Cooke, when the special
business for which the Chamber of
Commerce had been called this
morning was concluded, stated
that since theiT last meeting Thomas
Rain Walker, an honored presiding Of
ficer of the Chamber for several years
formerly had departed this life. 1t
was fitting that some appropriate ex-
PRESTON of their regret should be
placed on record. He moved that the
secretary and two others be a COM
Inittee to draft memorial resolution.
The motion carrying the chair ap-
pointed Messrs. Wood Schaefer and
Elacfarlane as the committee.
The late Mr. Walker was vice presi-
dent of the Chamber for the terms
1867, 1878 and 1888, and presi-
dent in 1S99-19OO.

ACT HERE
CLAIM THAT IT NGLLIFIES LOCAL
STATUTES ON SUBJECTS II
DEALS WITH.

The case of the Territory VS.. Blan-
che Martin, a well known denizen OF
Iwilei, was up for argument in the
Supreme Court this morning. Judge
Humphreys, who is attorney for the
defendant, bases his case on the claim
that since the Edmunds Act and other
like laws are operative in this Terri
tory, it makes void the Territorial
Acts in relation to adultery Acting
Attorney General w. l.. Whitney ap-
pears for the Territory.
In making his argument Judge Hum
jphreys called attention to the Nation
al bankruptcy law. In this case be-
fore the matter was covered by the
Federal law the various States and
Territories each had their own laws on
the subject, but when the bankruptcy
law was passed by Congress, it made
imperative the state and Territorial
laws on the subject. The same argu-
ment he claimed also was good in the
case of the Interstate commerce law.
That Congress has the right TO
make many laws was not denied, but
acknowledged with the fact that often
this power was allowed to lie dormant
but when Congress did take action and
passed an act on a specific subject
then that would overrule and render
imperative the Territorial laws on the
same subject which differed from it.

TAKE TIME
TO REGISTER

Chairman Samuel f. Chillingworth
of the Board of Registration for Oahu
again desires to announce ana pro-
claim that the board will positively
cease to register voters at seven O'Clock
on the evening of October 8.
1t will not keep open until mid
night for the benefit OF tardy voters.
Two years ago this was done, when
the result was mainly the appearance
Of parcel of inebriated persons.
Registration is necessary to secure
the franchise and there are nine days
left for voters to obtain this indispen-
sable qualification.
In its tour of the country stations
the board added 1854 voters to the list.
The total number registered up to
Monday last was 450S.

the situation seems to me to look like
a complete victory for the Republican
ticket, all down the line. | don't
think Long will poll any votes worth
considering. He is relying on big
Hawaiian vote, but Hawaiians are not
that kind. They won't follow him. |
don't know whether Iaukea will get
the most votes from me or from Jar
rett, but he won't get many altogeth-
er. l don't know whether he will get
a Civic Federation endorsement or
not. Some of the members of the Fed
Grafton have promised to support me-
For the rest, it is recognized that
the Republican Senatorial and Super
visorial tickets, which have to carry
both districts, are in real fight, and
strenuous campaigning will be done
by both. The remainder of the
Republican ticket is regarded as pret-
ty safe. Lane will go in with a big
majority, think the Republicans, and
all the rest of the county ticket, as
well as the legislative ticket in the
Fourth, is going to win, say the pro
phets of the party, though Won Holt
is against strong candidate.
Some of the candidates favor a shor'
canvass, and would like to confine the
real hustling and every night speech
making to the last two weeks of the
campaign. 5r EElyEI|

A truly Honolulu reception awaits
the members of the San Francisco ex-
cursion party bound to Japan, under
the auspices of the Chamber of Com
merce of that city, on their arrival in
the steamship Tenyo Maru tomorrow.
There will be leis to decorate the
shoulders of all of them, and Hawaiian
music to ravish their ears, for the local
spice and coloring of their welcome.
And for the signalizing of H2waii's S
maritime and metropolitan situation
and condition, representative business
men will go out in a steam launch to
! greet their San Francisco brethren ere
their vessel enters the port, and a
larger deputation escort them in auto
mobiles and by railway to Pearl Har-
Dor, the coming stronghold of the Pa
cific for the protection of the entire
American littoral of this ocean.
Arrangements for the reception of
the passing visitors to the foregoing
effect were made at special meeting
of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
which opened more punctually than
usual this morning-sharp on the ap-
pointed hour of ten o'clock in fact
without the time honored necessity OF
a long siege of the telephone by the

PECARICKS NOW SAY HOUSE is
HAUNTED-WORK OF ASTRAL
HAND.

If you were a gentle minded maiden
who had just said your prayers and
donned your robe de mutt and tucked
the drapery of your couch about your
sylphlike form, after neatly depositing
your dainty shoes under your bed, and
suddenly said shoes commenced walk
ing about the room, kicking the furni-
ture, doing a dance and running out
through the doorway and scampering
down the road to a shoe-store to get
half-soled and heeled, and then came
pitter-pattering back and arranged
themselves again under your bed
wouldn't it make you ache?
If you saw an astral hand stretch
sudden from the thick darkness and
snatch open blind-wouldn't it eX-
cite your imagination ?
And if you felt an icy finger count
| ing the vertebrae of your spine
wouldn't it rustic your nerve?
Well that's what the Pecaricks now
say of the house on Punchbowl from
which they are today moving, after
having been the main attractions Of a
few days visitation by hundreds of Gu
rious people who wanted to see the
ghosts alleged to have turned things
topsy-turvy on Sunday.
The Pecaricks declare that they
were buncoed by the previous tenants
of the old Boyd premises, for that the
previous tenants knew very well that
the house was haunted and unkindly
neglected to inform the Pecaricks that
such was the case.
Now the Pecaricks say that the
neighbors are telling of ghostly things
that happened in the house before they
became occupants about a month ago
They say that one night when theil
predecessors were endeavoring t
slumber, a hand, without the usua
body attachment, stretched out ant
wrench open the fastened shutters, ant
at the same moment all the window
and doors of the house flew open.
On another night, they say, youn

kicking the furniture, taking ruI

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, August
13.-Admiral Sperry and two hundred
officers of the American Atlantic fleet
are visiting the Rotorua Springs, in
New Zealands famous thermal region,
known in New Zealand as Wonder
land" A feature of the entertainment
provided for the visitors was a gath
erlng of Maoris, who danced their tri-
bal dances and presented the Admiral
with a number of tribal heirlooms.
A correspondent, writing of the pro-
gram arranged for Admiral Sperry and
his officers, says of the trip planned
for today:
"a big Maori fete at Rotorua will
form the central feature of the enter
tainments. The event will be bracket
ed with a very big excursion by rail to
the thermal region of the North Island
which a few years. ago was devas-
tated by the eruption of Mount Tara
vera, but is now beautiful resort
for invalids and tourists, nesting in
the basins of extinct volcanoes, on
the brink of the most exquisitely beau
tiful lakes, Astounding in magnificent
trout, while boiling springs exude from
the earth in whatever direction one
may go healing waters that furnish
the most delightful bathing and give
restored health to those suffering from
many ills. There will undoubtedly be
a great gathering Of Maoris-the finest
native race on the face of the earth,
great fighters in olden times-and their
war dances, hakas, and the manners
and customs of their home life will
be found to be full of interest and
amusement"

CURIOUS RITE OF
ANCIENT TRIBE
REMNANT OF SENECAS LIVING IN
OKLAHOMA CLING TO AN OLD
CUSTOM.

Up in the northeast corner of the
State of Oklahoma there is a small
band of Seneca Indians on a reserva-
ton of the same name. This is a
remnant of a nation of Indians that
can be traced from the original New
England States, as they were forced
West and South by the entertainments
of the whites and the battle arm OF
stronger Indian bands that were con-
stantly warning against them.
Among this little band of Indians,
probably not more than a hundred all
told, there are some curious heather
rites that seem to be instructive with
the tribe.
Among them there is an old order
known as the Wood Face" Those
who belong to the order can call in
the Wood Face" in case of sickness,
as is often done. They go through a
performance that is calculated to drive
out from the sick person the evil
spirit that may be lowering around the
bed. These faces are masks made Of
wood, usually carved to represent a
human form of some character, but
sometimes made to represent the head
Of an animal They are painted he'd
and black, with large silver eyes and
a horse tail for hair
Arrayed in one of these hideous
masks, together with rattles made OF
turtle sheels, fastened together at the
outer edges with small stones between
and tied TO the legs of the wood
Face" as they dance, roll and kick,
singing their incantatlons the while,
the Indians present a scene calculated
