APPROVED Of
THE BIC GUNS
Legislators Visit Fort Ruger
and Ask Questions .--Kan-
tho Satisfied.

The members of the House of Rep
resentatives, in string of autos, went
on a general tour of inspection and Wis
iting ON Saturday afternoon, having
accepted an invitation from Major
Winslow to inspect the mortar batteries
at Fort Ruger, Diamond Head, and
taking advantage of the opportunity
to drop in also on the superintendent of
Kapiolani Park The members and a
few others from the House displayed
great interest in the eight great NOR
tars in the two battery pits, sunk into
the side of Old Leah, and the Major
and his principal assistants were kept
busy for the greater part of an hour
in explaining how easy it is going to
be after this to dispose of any war
vessels which come nosing around Ho-
nolulu with any hostile intent.
The big guns were turned, tilted,
loaded and unloaded and the system of
aiming explained, the way the thou
sand-pound shells are skyrocketed over
Diamond Head and made to hit any
thing being shown and made pain. The
members were also taken through the
massive concrete ammunition magazines
and to other points of interest around
the battery.
Some of the members expected that
the guns would be fred round or SO
in their honor, but decided not 30 wait
when Major Winslow explained that
the first shots would not be fired until
some time in May.
WHAT most impressed the members
was the massiveness of everything
connected with the battery. Some of
the up-country delegates looked rather
ineredulous when it was told them that
the mortars could throw thousand
pound projeetile three miles in the air
and make it hit battleship steanifng
off shore four miles away. Represen-
tative Kaniho looked gratifed at this,

WARM WELCOME
AWAITS JOHNSON

GALVESTON, Texas, March ia
secret meeting was held among a num-
Der of residents of this city last night.
The matter whether or not to allow
Jack johnson TO bring his white wife
to Galveston when he visits his parents
was thoroughly discussed and a resolu-
ton adopted that if he brings a white
woman to Texas he must suffer the con-
sequences. Johnson himself was noti-
fed this morning of the meeting and
the following telegram was sent to
Chicago:
''The tar pot is boiling and the
feathers are ready. Take kindly
warning and come to Galveston alone.
"This city will never tolerate the
sight of white woman walking on the
street with colored man, whether it
is Jack johnson or Booker Washing
ton, for 'eoons all look alike to us
down here"
The police department will take
charge and stop johnson on the out
skirts of the city should he atbmpt
to bring his wife to town. This step
is deemed necessary to prevent seri-
Gus disturbance.

COLLEGE Of HAWAII
FACULTY AND STUDENTS

On Saturday evening formal re-
ception for the faculty and student
body of the College of Hawaii was held,
after many postponements, the ladies
of the college being instrumental in
making the affair success, particular
ay to Miss Hunt Her lecture on Ha-
waiian art was especially interesting
and attractiveiy presented.
She told how the Hawaiians in an
cient times, without metals or precious
stones had been able to make many
beautiful and useful art pieces, and
were particularly adept in feather and
woodwork. Since coming to the islands
Miss Hunt has been interested in weav-
ang and tapa. A number of lantern
slides were shown to illustrate her talk.
Following the address an informal
reception was held and light refresh
ments served. Mrs. Herman Babson
and Mrs. B. E. Porter prepared coffee
of delicious flavor. The dining room
was tastefnlly decorated with carna-
tons and ferns. The success of the
FIRST reception assures the students and
faculty of having a series of similar
functions.

PARTY BOILERS
ARE ON THE RUN
Cannon Backed by Taft Turned
Flank of Revolt Against
Rules.
BY Ernest G.. Walker.
Mail Special to the Advertiser.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March TO-
The happiest man around the Capitol
in twenty-five years is your "Uncle
Joseph Cannon at the present minute.
He had to wait for his justification but
it has come. The insurgents inside the
Republican party are on the run. The
hopes that were built up from the
Democratic plank of the Denver plat
form touching the rules of the House
of Representatives, have been dashed.
A President of the United States stands
at your "Uncle Joseph s - elbow He
has smitten those who sought to annoy
and even to overthrow the Speaker. He
has made his position SO plain that no
one can have difficulty comprehending
it.
The speaker has been so long in pub
lie life and has endured so many attacks
that he has become accustomed to wait
ing for his turn. Without question he
has received more hard humping that
he did not deserve during recent years
than any other Republican in high
place. Perhaps he is a Car. Other
speakers have been. Some one must
rule the House with strong hand.
Otherwise there would be no order in
that popular legislative branch. Strong
arm methods would pevail in the long
run. The House would be in chaos.
The present rules were not of Mr.. Can
non s making, but more of the late
Speaker Reed IS making. But Mr.. Can
non has borne the brunt of the latter
dav criticisms of those rules.
The wise ones never dreamed that
President Taft would come out SO en-
phaticallv in Speaker Cannon behalf.
The word came straight that the Hot
Springs propaganda of the late autumn,
which represented Mr.. Taft as ready
for war to the hilt with Speaker Cam

Those who have watched with inter

number of little boys and dog doing
a toboggan stunt with ii leaves will
remember that at one stage of the pie
ture one of the urchins while dragging
himself up the slippery grass goes

blase on moving pictures seek no rea-
son for the disappearance, but it was
different when this film was shown last
week to the people at Kalaupapa. 1t
seemed to be impossible for Mr.. b.
nine to explain that at that particular
place in the film he had had to chop
out a piece. This explanation was
listened to. but still the question came,
"But where did the little boy go to-

The Hawaii Shinpo, in its English
edition yesterday, publishes a state
ment to the effect that the Hawaiian
planters are now preparing to bring in
more Filipino and Porto Rican labor
ers. The Shinpo criticizes this move
saying:
An agent of the Hawaiian Plan
tiers Association is now on his way to
Porto Rico to secure shipload of Por-
to Rlean laborers for the plantations.
Negotiations are under way, prac-
tieally completed, for the reopening of
the Filipino labor supply to Hawaii
and another agent of the Planters As
ISOLATION will be on his way to the
Philippines before many weeks to bring
back with him some thousands of the
little brown brothers for the cane
fields.
"Thus win the oft-reiterated policy
of Americanizing Hawaii be put into
effect.
The Shinpo has good authority for
plans for importing more Porto Rieans
and Filipinos for the plantations have
been carried on so far with fair
degree of secrecy and are now fully
developed.
Except so far as the carrying out
of these plans affect the status of the
resident japanese, this paper has moth
ing TO say about them except to won
der why in the name of all that is
sensible the planters should turn to
these two particular places for a labor
supply. The Hawaiian Legislature has
opened the way for the planters to
secure further importations of Port
uguese and Spaniards and it is not i'm
probable that Congress, if the efforts
to secure labor earnestly carried out
on the mainland of the United States
and in Europe fail, would sanction the
import alton of more Japanese.
50 cannot be that the planters ara
looking to Porto Rico and the Philip
pines because the experiments made
heretofore been in any measure a sue
cess. The Filipino experiment was g
total, fiat failure. The experiment
made some years ago with Porto Riean;
was worse than failure-it was 8
calamity to the Territory.

Ricans are vicious.

It is good thing for the self esteem

There was rumor going round town
last night that there had been an auto

yesterday afternoon, somewhere near
Wahiawa. None of the garages had
any information on the subject, and
application to the police, the railroad

That the sheepmen of Malheur
county intend to make strenuous eff
fort to prevent the heavy annual loss
OF lambs from the eating of poison
GUS weeds, is the statement of State
Sheep Inspector Lytle, who returned
Sunday from an official visit to Vale
and the adjoining territory.
According to DR.. Lytle the wool
growers of that part of the state
have suffered an annual loss of five
and six per cent of their lamb crop
in past years, from the eating Of
poisonous weeds. Yellow camas,
lupin and larkspur, are the weeds
which have caused the greatest loss.
Recently an antidote was discovered
by veterinarians which cures from
sixty to seventy per cent Of the dis
eased sheep. This preparation comes
in capsules and is administered by

THINKS SPOKANE DECISION
WILL HELP INTERIOR

Baker City, April 7.-RaiIroad
Commissioner Clyde B. Aitchison,
who is here today checking up the
o. r. & y. right of way and railroad
stations, said to a reporter for the
Herald that in his opinion, the inter-
state commerce commissions decis-
ion in the Spokane rate case would
eventually relieve all interior cities
from oppressive freight rates.
He contends that the commission
will decide matters pertaining to
freight of other interior cities along
the lines of the Spokane decision. He
also believes that coast points will at
once demand a lower freight rate
than now obtains in order to compete
with the east and middle west. This
he thinks will be granted because of

SET GOOD PACE
WILL GIVE LITERALLY
TO PUBLICITY BUREAU
Col. Mcknight Has List of 5000 i'm
Subscriptions and S400 More Is
Promised From Hermiston-Asa b.
Thomson Will be Committeeman
From Echo-Outlook Seems Bright

If other sections of the country re-
miston the proposed county publicity
bureau will be financed with COM
parative ease.
At the Commercial association
meeting held last evening Col. j. F.
Mcknight reported the result of the
work at Hermiston. In connection
with Col. H. G.. Newport, the other
committeeman, he has been working
or the matter since the big meeting
two weeks ago. Within his portion
of the town Col. McNaught has al
ready raised the sum of 5000 for the
bureau and expects to secure still
more money.
Before leaving Hermiston yester-
day he was informed by Col. Nc
Nought that he, Col Newport and as
sociates of the other portion of the
town, would contribute s4OO, pro-
pided they were allowed to pay $3.50
of it in monthly installments.
At the meeting last evening the
Echo committeeman was not pres
ent but E. H. Brown, editor of the
Echo Register, stated that Mr..
Scholl desired to resign from the
committee and suggested Asa B.
Thomson for the place. Accordingly
Mr.. Thomson was named for the
place by President Moore.
In behalf of the Columbia land
company, j. NJ. Kyle, Pendleton rep
resentative, stated that he was auth
orized to say the company would do
its part toward helping finance the
bureau.
No further action in connection
with the work of raising money for
the bureau was taken last evening.
However it is the belief that suffi-
cient support will be secured from
outside towns to justify the continu-
ance of the bureau upon a larger
scale than in the past.
