Ella Wheeler Wilcox is in Homo
lulu, at the Hawaiian Hotel, and that
hotel is therefore, for the time being
a world center of advice to men and
maidens, lovesick and otherwise, and
the gifted authoress is besieged with
letters and callers.
In the human body there are nerve
centers, emotional headquarters as it
were. In the great body of this world S
humanity there are corresponding
centers, sometimes called psychic CEN
ters, which is another way of saying
that there are particular places on the
globe where certain senses are more
manifest than elsewhere.
Honolulu is a psychic center, so is
Los Angeles, also New York, likewise
London, and Paris and a little place
in Ireland, and big place in Russia,
by the same token.
There are others, but Honolulu hap
pens to be where Ella Wheeler Wilcox
is at present exerting an immediate in
fluence.

ASK FOR
MOANA
THE BEACH HOTEL IS GREATLY
MISSED BY ARRIVALS ON THE
MONGOLIA.

In view of the big passenger list
on the Mongolia and the many calls
by tourists for the Moana, there is
already some discussion of reopening
has a reputation that is world wide,
for location, service, etc, having al
ways maintained a splendid standard
and the result is that very large
proportion of the arrivals here ask
+ the Moana about the first thing
after they land
Everybody says ~ you go to Homo
lulu, go to the Moana, is what va
rious visitors arriving yesterday said
and they were much disappointed at
not being able to do so. 1t is not that
the Young is not appreciated, or did
not give them fine treatment, but
rather that they had heard of the
Moana. Its praises sung by previous
visitors had made them anxious to
visit it. Another fact made apparent
is that nearly all the visitors of the
tourist class seem to want to live at
the beach.
The Moana is altogether closed down.
Several local people have been al
lowed to retain their rooms, but the
dining room. which has so long won
the praises of visitors of all sorts,
both for its splendid service and its
location. is shut up.
The Young was quite enlivened by
the Mongolia arrivals. Her list was
the biggest for some time, and is re-
garded as indicating a great improve
ment. since the financial panic caused
a general suspension of travel.

Probably nowhere on earth did more
different races and nations gather to-
gether to do solemn honors to the vic
tins of the recent great tragedy in
Lisbon than in Honolulu this mornings
The big Catholic Cathedral on Fort
street was crowded to the doors at
half past ten this morning, that being
the hour set for services in memory of
the assassinated royal father and son.
The cathedral was draped with black
for the occasion and most of the vast
assemblage, especially the representa-
tive men of Honolulu in official and
commercial life and the consular re-
representatives., were in deep mourning.
The solemn and impressive cere-
monies of a requiem high mass were
conducted by the visiting bishop, the
Rev. Bishop Silva, assisted by Fathers
Matthias, Francis and Stephen. Local
Portuguese attended in very large num-
bers, and all Honolulu joined with their
feelings of sorrow over the king shot
down in the prime of life and the
prince cut of just at the threshold OF
manhood.
Governor Frear and the members of
his administration had prominent
places near the chanCel and opposite
them were the various foreign consuls
in Honolulu, the Chinese representative
own country. Former vice consul Goo
Kim was also present.
Among those present at the services
were Admiral Very, Paymaster Brooke
Lieut. Fay, u. S. NJ c., Major Dunning
Lieut. Wrighton, Lieut.. McClery, Su-
preme Court Judges Hartwell and Bal
lou. Judge Lindsay, Governor Frear

Will SUE
TRANSIT
WAIALAE COMMITTEE NOT Salts
FLED AND WILL ADVISE SUING
RAPID TRANSIT

A committee from the Waialae, Kai-
muki and PalolO Improvement Club
and representatives of Beretania street
interests yesterday afternoon called on
the directors of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit & Land Company, by appoint
ment. to hear the result of petitions
sent in from Kaimuki and Beretania
residents for ten-minute service or
the Waialae system during busy hours
of the day.
At a meeting on September it was
agreed to put in the ten-minute service
in busy hours instead of running the
twenty-minute service all day, and the
petitioners We're but asking for the
fulfllment of what had been promised
them.
The first advancement made by the
directors was that it was up to the
committee to admit that the Rapid
Transit had a right to expect a fair
return on the money invested and
next it was stated by the directors
that a return of three per cent was all
that had been realized.
1t was in the nature of a hard luck

,JAPAN'S
POLICY
MANY ASSURANCES AND AN
NOUNCEMENTS OF MOSTLY
PEACEFUL NATURE.

TOXIC, January 25.-The program
for today's session of the Diet, includ-
ing the speech of Foreign Minister
Viscount Hayashi regarding the immi-
grafton question, was suddenly chang
ed and the speech was postponed un-
til January 30th, when it is expected
that Viscount Hayashi will outline de-
finitely the plans of the Government
for use restriction of emigration to
America and Canada.
1t is understood that the postpone
ment was due to the fact that a reply
from the American Government to the
last memorandum from Japan was eX-
pected to be handed to the Foreign Of
flee this afternoon.
Since the delivery of its last memo
randum the Japanese Government has
issued the most stringent instructions
to all Governors and other officials
concerning the regulation of future
emigration along the lines of the fu-
ture definite policy of restriction,
which include the prevention of the
emigration of laborers to America and
Canada except under given conditions,
which will be satisfactory to the Gov
ernments of both of these countries.
No laborers will be permitted to emf
CRATE to Mexico,
Evidence of the determination of the
Japanese Government is shown by an
official order issued to emigration COM
panies today wherein all emigration to
the Hawaiian Islands is absolutely
prohibited except in the case OF rela-
tives of Japanese already residing

PROGRAMS SUBJECT
TO QUICK CHANGES
Various Rearrangements of Re-
publican States for Legisla-
tive Nominees Made

Various arrangements of the re-
publican program of legislative nomi-
nees continue to be made. District
politics by no means became quiet after
the primary; as a matter of fact. there
has been activity of the liveliest kind
ever since.
Sammy Beckett, who thought that he
had made sure of the assembly nomina-
tion in the thirty-eighth district, wakes
to find his dream shattered against q
disagreeabie reality. The friends of
Billy Pugh, plumber, have maneu-
vered so skillfully that Beckett is out
of the game and Pugh is practically
assured the nomination.
In the forty-fourth district Mamie
Strauss still thinks he is on the slate
to stay and is not disturbed when
Mattias, the famous restaurateur of
the Latin Quarter, is mentioned as a
possible opponent. But another can
didate has come forward to contest
the nomination with Strauss. This is
one ]. J. Sweeney, and it is said that
the powers that be, meaning Herrin
and Lynch, look with. approval on his
candidacy.
Tom Roberts. who is Jack Barr's
candidate for the assembly in the thir-
tieth district, is not altogether sure
of nomination. There is strong OPP
position to him in the camp of Billy
Bell, who was beaten in the primary
by Barr, and Johnnie Lynch may look
around for a better candidate.
Charles NJ Fisher, late assemblyman
from the thirty y-ninth district, has an
nounced to some of his friends that he
will run as an independent republican
against E. J. Callan, who is the choice
of the league for the nomination.
Whether Fisher has made up his mind
to do this or is merely bluffing re-
mains to be seen. He is a close asso-
ciate of Tom Atkinson, one of the
politicians beaten by the league club,
and rumor connects Atkinson's name
with the plan to put a third man in the
field.
Frank j. Browne of the thirty fourth
district, whose name was among those
added to the county committee Tues
day night by order of Herrin de-
clared yesterday that he would not ac-
cept the appointment. Browne is a
member of the Lincoln Roosevelt
club in the thirty-fourth and has been
an active worker in the leagues two
victories in the district. Browne said
yesterday:
MY name has been placed on the
county committee without my knowl-
edge. / learned today that the action
was taken with the view of promoting
harmony in the party during the COM
ing campaign. Without disparaging the
motive 1 am unable to accept the ap-
pointment. But it occurs to me that
if they wanted to harmonize our dis
trict the proper way would have been
to lay their proposition before the
league club instead of picking out an
Individual"
The Legality of the appointment Pro-
fessor Browne refused to discuss.

will present the name of Thomas w
Nowlin, an attorney. to the local con-
vention as a candidate for superior

RETURNS AGAINST HUGHES
Primaries Show Voters Not for
New York Governor,
sPECIAL DIsPATcH mo- THE CALL


NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-What effects
the results of the up state primaries
will have upon the candidacy of Gov
ernor Hughes for denomination will not
be clearly established until the meeting
of the advisory committee of the re-
publican state committee on Friday.
That the returns from a majority of
the counties where the governor was
the issue were decidedly unfavorable
to him, even his friends admit. But
they do not regard this as conclusive.
One of the results of the primaries
was to encourage the springing of
several hooms. The list tonight con-
tanned these names: Senator Horace
White, who has the Endorsement of
Onandaga; Speaker Wadsworth; Public
Service Commissioner Wilcox, who was
appointed by Governor Hughes; ex-
Lieutenant Governor Bruce, and ex-
Senator w. ]. Tully-

might have on the governorship nomi-
nation and later upon the national
ticket in New York state.

Oyster Bay, which gathering was fol-

Sherman, the republican candidate for
vice president, that the preponderance
of opinion there was favorable to
Hughes, Hitchcock said:
Mr.. Sherman stated explicitly that
