PRESIDENT TAFT AND
THE HAWAIIAN LEI
: Big Man Declined to Decorate His Hat,
but Carried the Pansies.

The Washington Post publishes the
story of President Taft's refusal of a
lei at the Hawaiian building at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, its
version differing somewhat from that
sent to Honolulu and published in The
Advertiser. The Post story takes the
sting out of the matter, as follows:
Taft had visited the different state
buildings and booths and was the recip-
lent of much attention and many gifts
as souvenirs. The latter he handed TO
his aid who acted as bearer. At the
Hawaiian building he was greeted by
a Young Hawaiian girl with a lei Be-
fore offering it. she reached for his silk
hat remarking: In Hawaii, Mr.. Presi-
dent. it is customary to wear a lei on
the hat. The President accepted the
gift with the remark: As we are not
now in Hawaii I trust You will allow
me to carry it on my arm. During the
balance of his tour through the build
ings and grounds the lei was so carried
by the President.

Oriveling Discussion in Which
Mcclellan, Fern, AHA and

The board Of supervisors last night
turned dowr the proposed agreement
with the telephone company and pass
ed the four-bit ordinance. Aylett was
the bright particular star who knocked
in the head all hope of compromise
with the Mutual Telephone Company,
possibly delayed the installation of the
new automatic system, probably threw
the whole matter into the courts and
placed the city and county in danger
of prolonged and expensive litigation
over a matter which in the end is but
trivial. Honolulu must wait now for an
improved telephone system.
Aylett was eloquent last night. He
fairly outdid himself, and his logic was
of the usual seintillating Aylett vari-

MAYOR FERN

The City's Chief Executive Is
Delinquent in His
Water Rates.
STATEMENT BY CAMPBELL

Lie Accusation Against

Mayor Joe Fern is to be sued today
by Marston Campbell, superintendent
of public works, for about $500 back
water rates which His Honor has neg
lected for several years to pay.
A statement to the above effect was
made last night by the superintendent
of public works when he was told that
he had been accused of having RENTED
Mayor Fern rs Indebtedness to the Ter.
ritory.
The department has been suing hun.
dreds of citizens who are delinquent
in the payment of their water and sewer
rates. Mayor Fern, it appears, is in
heavily, and the superintendent of pub
lie works will endeavor to get judg
ment in court against him.
Indignation Meeting.
After the meeting of the board Of
supervisors last night, there was al
Indignation meeting. Supervisors Logan
and Quinn being the indignant ones
and the remarks made about Aylett
would have made that individual s ear
burn if he had not been used to it. HI
was accused of having thrown his fel
low members down and of having gon,
back on his word and voted against the
telephone agreement when he had prom
ised to vote for it. 1t was the genera
sentiment of the indignation meetin,
that Aylett was under the thumb o.
His Honor the. Mayor and had switched
| his vote at the Mayors command. Also
| Quinn more than limited that Aylet

| would please Marston Campbell, super

ploye the honorable supervisor is and
through whose favor he earns his brea(

Yesterday Governor Frear stated
shat ha. thought the Legislators could
rlnclude the special work for which
1Aey are being called together in
twelve days or thereabouts. Nothing
but the one matter can be taken up,
according to the wording of the proc

the introduction of matters over which
much time could be taken up in debate
being therefore eliminated.
1t was not until yesterday morning
that the Governor definitely decided to
call the Legislature together, although
the calling of special session has
been one of the matters much discuss
ed in the various conferences held
during the past two weeks in the Gov
ernor s Office.
Delegate Kuhio has been one of the
strongest advocates of a speeia; SEES
sion, making the point that congress
would listen to him more readily if he
came to it with the endorsement of
the Hawaiian assembly. In this he has
been supported by others at the vari-
GUS conferences. The Governor has
been considering the matter from the
point of view of the taxpayer, con-
sidering if the cost to the Territory

Amendment of the Land

Satisfied.
SPECIAL SESSION WISE MOVE

'.The enactment into law by con.
gress of the bill agreed upon by the
conference, to be submitted to the leg
islature for its endorsement, will be a
mighty good thing for the Hawai-
ians," said Delegate Kuhio yesterday
afternoon in the course of a discussion
of the bill and the probably action of
the legislature. cit will put a stop to
land grabbing and give the Hawaiians
a chance to acquire and own their own
homes without danger of losing them
to the big corporations. | think that
the provision that homesteader may
not mortgage his homestead after he
has got the patent to it, however, is
not right, and / am not at all in favor
of that. 1t seems too much like re-
stricting the rights of the individual.
But, take the bill as a whole, L
think it is good one, and it would
De hard to improve On it much l sup
pose the legislature will make some
changes, but l don't know of much
that needs to be changed. 1t is the
best bin the conference could devise
''As a whole, I think the bill is a
good one, and it should receive the
support of the Republican members of
the legislature, anyway, and I don t
see what fault the Democrats can find
with it. l hope they will all stand
by it.
Congress Will Pass Bill.
"With the endorsement of the leg
islature back of me, | feel confident
that [ can go before congress and get
the bill enacted into a law. Without
the endorsement of the legislature, /
10 not feel that I can accomplish any
thing. In fact, the congressman who
were here recently intimated as much.
They were ready to pass any bill for
the amendment of the Organic Act
which the legislature would endorse,
but they were not willing to do any
thing without the endorsement of the
Legislature.
Salary Increases.
81 am rather doubtful as to whether
or not the legislature will vote to in
crease the salaries of the territorial Of
fcers, the Governor, secretary and the
others. But in view of the fact that
the bill carries raise in the pay of
the legislators themselves, it NAV be
that they will stand for the other
raises. OF course, it all comes out of
our pockets ultimately.

The BOND ISSUE,

Now that the time rapidly ap.
proachos at which We shall face the
matter Of voting the bond issue
We feel more than certain that very
few people will refuse to vote.
We have been very fortunate in
the matter of this bond issue in
that there was no trouble in con
tracing for their sale and that
the price quoted TO US for them is
very much larger than We could
have had any reason to expect. The
mayor seems to have made a spe-
cial study OF this matter OF the sale
of bonds or he undoubtedly would
not have been able to place them
so judiciously.
This city's wonderful progress and
growth has given us the assurance
that We are entitled to eXpcnd more
money upon It's development with Il
certainty OF profit. No corporation
commencing new business had 4
faircr prospect than that which the
city OF Ardmore possesses. There Is
40 city in the state which possesses
larger territory upon which to
draw or better natural and ge.
ographical location.
We are In the midst OF grea,
area and just awaiting the hands OF
men TO till the soil. operate the
mines, aid in the development of
the oil fields. We need the men
just as much as We need the money
and they are harder to obtain. 1t
will be very much better for us TO
get an ost of men with just a little
money apiece than to interest Two
or three capitalists with very
great amount OF money.
The great problem in the south
has always been the lack of intel.
ligcnt labor. and, with regard to the
land, intelligent farming We have
hal too many men who were con.
tent TO so upon the hit or miss plan,
who were satisfied merely TO exist.
The ambitious and intelligent far
mer is the greatest boon that can
come TO any country. When We get
more of these men, for We have
some now, We shall have diversity
OF crops that will make Ardmorc
their natural market and assist
very materially in the upgrowth of
this city. The prosperity Of the far.
