Mrs. Samuel Parker died yesterday
afternoon at the Queen g Hospital short
ly after 2 O'Clock, of heart failure, fol
lowing a successful operation for can
Ger of the breast. The operation was
had in the forenoon, and took the at.
tention of the surgeons Drs. Judd, Hold
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 had held brief CONVEX.
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 IL, in order that two
daughters may arrive from San Fran
cisco.
The announcement of Mrs. Parker Is
death was 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 a 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' of Mrs. Parker's bounty,
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-
valescent in a 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 at 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. Walter
Macfarlane. Yesterday afternoon about
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 Frustrated 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 on the s. s. China
arriving here November Q. Owing to
Mrs. Parker having been one of the
trustees of the Campbell Estate with
]. o. Carter and Cecil Brown, a cable.
gram was sent last night to Europe

No Longer Assistant Secre-
 tary of Committee.
MAY SPLIT STATES VOTE.
Proposition to Divide the LOuis-
 jana Delegation.

f q
 Chicago, June 9.-With the resump- tion of the hearing by the Republican national committee today of the con- tests over the seats from southern states and a few scattering districts in the north, interest was centered in the war waged by the "old guard of the party against the so called domi- neering methods of Frank H. Hitch cock, manager of the Taft forces. Mir. Hitchcock, who holds place on the committee as proxy for the member from New Mexico, has relinquished his position as assistant secretary of the committee.
 A. F. Fisher of Ohio has been ap- pointed assistant secretary to succeed Mir. Hitchcock. The retirement of the latter gave rise to rumor that he had been deposed by Chairman New. This report was denied the announce ment being made that the new ar. engagement Is the result of Mir. Hitch cocks inability to attend to the work of the secretaryship in addition to his other duties.
 It was reported, however, that Chair man Harry S. New of the committee sent for +. H. Hitchcock, Secretary

Taft's manager. and demanded his resignation. Hitchcock refused to re- sign. 1t is asserted, and New thereupon dismissed him and appointed in his stead Mir. Fisher.
 This action by New was prompted. 1t is said. by the dispatch from Wash ington approving of Hitchcock's meth ods and was intended to give the Taft manager a black eye in his boom for chairman of the committee.
 Several members of the national committee, in view of the develop ments. say that there is going to be q real fight after all. None of them will predict what form the fight will take. but they look to the president to make the next move.
 The followers of the secretary of war have had everything their way. SO they have not really been put on their mettle until now. The present situation is the result of the proposi- ton to divide the Louisiana delegation with the opposition. seating both Taft and anti-Taft delegations. with half a vote each. The proposition came from some of the Taft men and did not in itself come as a surprise. but tine number of members of the national committee who favored the movement created some coRsternation in the Taft camp.
 Before the Louisiana case. which in- wolves four delegates at large and four teen district delegates. is brought to vote noses will be sharply counted Members of the committee who have been ardent Taft supporters. but who have shown a disposition to yield to the appeals from the allied forces to compromise in the interest Of harmony. will be subjected to pressure.
 Mfr Hitchcock announced that there would be 10 compromise. He is deter mined to fight for the seating of the delegations instructed for Secretary Taft and declared thst he would in- sist that the committee pass on all contests. To settle them in any other way. he said. would be unfair tO the delegations themselves. He expressed the opinion that the committee should not shlrk the responsibility of sitting ln judgment on The merits of every contesE. and fB this view he is sup ported by nearly every eommitfeeman from the west and south and many from tlIe north

ARBITRATION WITH GERMANY
Negotiations Looking to That End
 Have Been Begun.

No9okistioHS IookiHg 70 nat Ghu
 Have Been Begun.
 Washington, June 9.-rThe matter of the negotiation of an arbitration trea- ty between the United States and Ger many has been a subject before the state department for some time, and the news that the imperial government has signified through Ambassador Tower its willingness to enter into such convention Is especially pleas. ing to the state department.
 It's consummation will be but another step in the rounding out of the policy of Secretary Root, which was initiated in the instructions to the American delegates to The Hague conference and which already has resulted in the negotiation of at least a dozen arbi- tration treaties with number of the powers of Europe, with Japan and with Mexico.
 Elements of difficulty which, 1t is understood, have operated to delay Germany in taking up the question of entering into negotiations lay in the peculiar constitution of the empire, there being many independent states, and the fact that the American state department must submit proposed questions of arbitration to the United States senate. With obstacles in both directions practically overcome, as 1t is presumed they have been. on the part of Germany, the expectation is that a treaty will be signed in the fall and presented to the senate for ratif. cation next December.

The reason for this has been the rule which denies roll call on any ques. ton unless 1t is demanded by twenty members, and the anti-Taft people have not that number on the commit tee.
 Nasty conferences were held by the Taft members of the committee during the hearing of the Louisiana contest. Mir. Hitchcock called up Secretary Taft in Washington. Charles P. Taft, brother of the secretary, did some tele- phoning and telegraphing on his own account. E. c. Duncan of North Caro- lima and c. A. Lyon of Texas and some others also grew energetic. What the effect of the many messages will be cannot be accurately told until after the vote. Manager Hitchcock feels that there is far more at stake in the movement for compromise in Lou. isiana than appears on the surface. Similar contests are pending from Mis- sissippi, Missouri, North Carolina Ok lahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Texas.
 The plea for compromise in Louisi. ana is based on the argument that the negro question is involved and that some recognition that would appease the negro voter of the south should be given the Foraker delegation. In all of the contests mentioned the issues are involved with the race question. Manager Hitchcock takes the position, however, that all of the Taft delega- tions are mixed" there being several negroes on the delegation from each southern state. More than 150 dele gates are involved in the settlement of these contests from southern states yet to be settled. The Taft men declare that if they make concessions now they may expect further demands. They are determined to prevent the in sertion of any opening wedge. if such a thing is possible.
 Sixteen more votes were gained for Taft by the settlement of contests. Two of these came from Florida. six from Georgia and eight from Ken lucky. These were all the contests heard by the committee.
