VOLCANO MARSHALL DROPS
DEAD AT HIS LUNCHEON

Yesterdays steamer brought the
news that tVolcano Marshall had
died at Shanghai November l. He was
at luncheon when, without warning he
toppled over and died. That day he
was to have made an airship ascension
as reporter.
Mr.. Marshall came TO Honolulu dur
ing the boom period. He was a jour
nalist of strong views and fine vOcab-
ulary and feared no one. At Sacra-
mentO a leading article of his on the
legislature caused that body to pass a
resolution in favor of moving the State
capital to San Jose. Coming to Homo
lulu he stirred up the town with the
publication which gave him a new
first name; and after vicissitudes which
he met with a caustic humor all his
own, he left for the Far East and be-
came as well-known in Manila and
Shanghai as he was here. He revived
his "Volcano' in Manila and later
was editor of the Shanghai Times and
the Shanghai Bund, the latter, a paper
which had been started by II. M.
Ayres.
The Shanghai Press speaks of the
late Mr. Marshall as follows:
Shanghai Times: The mortal re,
mains of the late w. H. (FVolcano y
Marshall were inferred yesterday morn
ing at Bubbling Well Cemetery. The
funeral was attended by more than
score of friends, whose sincere regrets
found expression in the presentation of
numerous wreaths and floral emblems
with which the casket was covered.
The funeral service was conducted by
the Reverend c. Z. Darwent in a most
sympathetic manner. The Rev. Oar
went said that he was truly grieved to
have to render the last service that
could be done for a man who was loved
by all who knew him. The deceased
had possessed many sterling qualities,
and was a man who had often sacrificed
his own interests for the sake of prin-
ciple. He was man who was ''Vol
canic - and was one who could i'll be
spared from a place like Shanghai, or
from the world in general. He was
large hearted and harmless as child.
He was ready to help friend as he
was to express his honest convictions.
The pail bearers were Messrs: +. M.
Brooks. S. Trissel, c. Collingwood, w.
L. Rodgers, Tavares and Barnes.
Shanghai Times: The deceased was
a native of one of the Southern States
of America and had been in the news
paper business all his life, having been
connected with various journals in
different States. He afterwards spent
some time in Honolulu and the Philip
pines where he was also engaged in

FRIENDSHIP OF JAPAN

reverence the name of Admiral Perry
was regarded in Japan, where they
look upon him as they do their own
great historical personages.
I've return to America absolutely
convinced that there is not the slight
est possibility Of war between Amer
lea and Japan so far as Japan is con-
cerned, and the general feeling we
found throughout Japan was one of
establishment that such a possibility
could ever have been entertained
among Americans. The japanese look
upon the relationship Of Japan to
America as that of child to parent, and
the very thought of war is abhorrent
to the Japanese.
Japan is making great progress in
manufacturing and their ambition is
to be known as the Great Britain of
Asia. They are making great prog
ress and are destined to become in
many lines the commercial rival of
America. This is to be expected in q
country which has the laboring popu-
lat1on Japan has, but this will not be
injurious in the long run to America.
1t will end the export trade of Amer
lea so far as concerns those things that
Japan can manufacture for herself, and
will also probably end the American
export of those things to the Orient,
but with the industrial growth of
Japan will come greater purchasing
power for her people for those things
that we should naturally supply, and
in this way our total trade with Japan
will be benefited. It seems to me that
it will be to our benefit to encourage
the industrial growth in Japan in
order that she may become a better
customer of ours in the things that
she can not produce for herself. AS
it is now, we are supplying Japan
with goods that some day she will sup
ply. us with.
''Our great commercial asset in ia
pan consists in the fact that she has
the greatest goodwill for us and will
give us the preference in trade A
national goodwill is as much an asset
to nation as the goodwill of
clientage is to a business. and we
should prepare to take advantage of
the goodwill belonging to us

Shanghai, where he followed the same
business, being the first editor of the
Shanghai Times and latterly of the
Bund He was to have made the as
cent yesterday afternoon in the new
air ship 'tMessenger" in company with
Captain Price. He was very popular
with a large section of the community
and leaves hosts of friends to mourn
his untimely death.
China Gazette: By the passing away
of "Volcano" Marshall, the world in
general, and Shanghai particularly, has
lost a citizen, whose genius in Journal
istic work was of a unique order. An
omnivOrOus reader, he had at his com
mand a host of facts which he mar
shaled with telling effect whenever he
wrote with an object in view-which
he nearly always had. His satire was
so keen, his phraseology so vivid, and
his style so caustic, that many an
" eruption occurred after the publica-
ton of his articles and the soubrquet
of ''VOlcano' suited his character
amazingly well-peculiarly so in his
younger years. Born in Northern New
York of Canadian stock, he entered the
journalistic field while still a boy,
working his way through the Southern
States westward until he reached San
Francisco, where for many years he
held the position as ''star' reporter on
one of the dailies of the Golden CITY.
Travelling across the Pacific. in Hawaii.
in Manila and in Shanghai, he used his
pen energetically and sometimes almost
injudiciously. But, as he ripened into
approaching old age, Mr.. Marshall S
style became a little less caustic, but
what it lost in acidity it made up in
humor and wit. Softened somewhat by
the knocks of adversely, and in periods
of onvalescence being made the OBJ 4
iect of solicitude from many hands. he
came to realize that life after all was
not 50 bitter as he sometimes tried to
paint it and his writings of recent
years had mellowness which they
lacked in former years. His contribu-
tons to the local press stand out as
gems among much mediocre writing,
and had his genius been directed by
the mind of some friend of his with
the power to direct ''Volcano" there
is not the least doubt that Mr.. Mar
shall would have become one of the
world 5 great writers.

Cases of Scarlet Fever and Fry

The isolation hospital, near the Brookside home, which has been in working order for some weeks is still occupied, as there are two cases of scarlet fever and two cases of cry sipelas being treated there. A train ed nurse is in attendance and the pa tients are improving so rapidly thai in all probability they will be able tc leave the hospital in short time When the cases were called to the at tention of Health Officer Kilmartin he immediately had them removed tc the isolation hospital.

Sake, representing the Waterbury Tuberculosis league, will visit the land in the rear of Brookside home tomorrow to see if it is an available place to locate the tents which are tc be used for tubercular patients. The committee has been informed that I would make an excellent site for an anti-tubercular camp and in all prob ability the land will be selected by the committee. The health officer said to-day that if the camp is placed near Brookside and if it proves sue cessful, the ward just built at Brook. side for tubercular patients vii probably become a general hospital Miss May Gormley, the nurse, now working for the league, visits about 35 tubercular patients daily.
