FAIRBANKS TALKS
fCoptinued from Psce II

the Territory has had many problems
to contend with, and the fact that
they have been worked out as they
have is largely due to the fact that
for 80 years the people of Hawaii
have been fitting themselves for
American citizenship. So when an
nexation came the Hawaiians were
fairly well fitted for American clti-
zenship. This is demonstrated, he
said, by the fact that the Legislature,
composed almost entirely of Hawaii
ans, compares favorably with the Leg
islatures of other States and Terri
tories. Mr.. Fairchild said the Terri
tory owes much to the missionaries.
zone thing that has been charged
against us Is that We are a one-crop
country. That is true, but we have
been trying to introduce other crops.
But the planters have allowed them
industries and to bring In people who
may become American citizens. And
in two years We will be on practical
ly the same basis as the people on
the mainland. We believe in home
government. We believe each coun-
ty and each municipality should
choose its own officers. And we be-
lieve the Territory should be allowed
to work out its own destiny"
Representative Sheldon on behalf
of the House extended the aloha nui
Of the members to Mr.. Fairbanks. He
said:
"The honor has been conferred up
on me to accord you, Mr.. Fairbanks,
a hearty welcome to our shores, or,
as We Hawaiians are In the habit OF
saying, Aloha Nui.'
I'VE feel that we have been partic-
ularly fortunate in having such a
great and strong friend as yourself
to help us.
"The first matter of Importance
here was the establishment of popu-
lar government; placing the voting

Shooting At AIEA;
Three men INJURED

Sheriff Jarrett is down at Aiea
plantation looking into the matter of
three japanese who are reported to
have been shot at that place last
night. It appears that Harada. who
is alleged to be one of the bunch of
thugs which was broken up during
Sheriff Iaukea's term of Office, pulled
a gun on some countrymen and shot
down three of them. Harada then
gave himself up to the police, and
the facts OF the matter were tele-
phoned TO Sheriff Jarrett.
One OF the victims is shot In the
stomach, another in the hip, and the
third In the knee. The first man Is
reported to be in a very serious con-
dition. The shooting seems to have
been the result OF gambling dis
pute in which the three men became
involved. Harada is said to be a real
bad man" and one who would stop
at nothing.

The house OF Harry F. Dawson. at.

yesterday afternoon, and one of the
children had very narrow escape
from an awful death. Mrs. Pierce, q
neighbor. noticed that the house waa
on fire, and at once ran over to tho

taken out when the whole place was 4

The parents were In town at thd
time Of the fire. having left the chill
dren In charge of n japanese servant.
The Japanese, wishing to take a trim
to see some friends, left the children
In the servants room, and the baby
in some way got hold of n box of
matches, and set fire to the house.
The fire had attained considerable
Roadway before Mrs. Pierce noticed
the blaze, and II was only with the
greatest Of exertion that she was able
to convey the children to safety. II is
owing to her prompt action that thS
children are alive today. The fire

no chance of saving the house, and
there was no danger Of the fire spread

Some people get impatient with

some members get impatient with
