PAY TRIBUTE
To WASHINGTON
Government Officials Honor
the Name of Great
American.

The Legislature of Hawaii paid trib-
ute 20 the memory of Washington in
the hall of the House of Representa-
tives yesterday morning. Speeches
were made by President of the Senate
w. O. Smith, Senator f. A. Knudsen,
Senator H. T. Moore, Representative
Edward Douthitt and Representative
H. NJ Kaniho. A number of the Sena
tors were present and there was no va
cant seating accommodate on when
Speaker Holstein of the House called
the assemblage to order half hour
after the conclusion of the Floral Pa,
fade review
Seated beside Speaker Holstein were
Governor Frear, Secretary OF the Ter
ritory Mott Smith, President of the
Senate W. O. Smith and Mayor Joseph
j. Fern.
The keynote of the exercises was the
spirit Of Washington in the struggle
for independence and the self sacrifice
that marked the policies of the first
President in contributing his talents to
what seemed for long time to be a
hopeless cause.
Representative Douthitt i'll his adj
dress dwelt at length ON the career OF
Washington, both in peace and in war
He spoke as follows:
Zone hundred and seventy-seven
years ago today, in the County of West
moreland, Virginia, was born one OF
the greatest, if not the greatest, pa
! triot, soldier, statesman and man that
he world ever produced. His character
stands alone IN its grandeur, like some
tall peak in the mountain ranges OF
greatness. There may have been more
brilliant minds. There may have been
more brilliant intellects rcsplendent
with wit and outward show. But neither
in ancient, medieval or modern times
has woman given birth to man who
had the interest Of his country more
at heart than the immortal Washing
ton. Every pulsation of his heart was
for one purpose-the liberty of his
copnsry; every thought, word and &C
ton had but one objeet-freedom.

Food Supplies Are Cut Off Owing to
General Strike - Rioting In

Barcelona, July 2S.-Barcelona Is now
under martial law. Serious rioting has
occurred following the declaration of
general strike in protest against the
military operations in Morocco and
the dispatch to that country Of large
bodies of troops. Several persons have
been killed and a large number
wounded.
Violent meetings have been held dur
ing the past few days and the genera!
strike followed. There has been much
fighting in the streets and practically
all communications have been de.
stroyed. The food supplies have been
cut off, resulting in great hardships
and suffering, especially among the
poor The prices of the necessities of
life are almost prohibitive.
The strikers cheer the soldiers, but
have attacked the police of Barcelona
and suburbs. Several serious engage.
ments have occurred between the po.
lice and the rioters, and the former
have not hesitated to use their pistols
freely. AS a result many innocent pc.
destrians have been shot as we'll as
