County and Telephone
Men Reach Agreement
Difficulties Are Practically Settled and End of
Dispute Over Inspection Fees Is Now
in Sight.

The Mutual Telephone Company will
not be harassed in its efforts to pro
vide Honolulu with a modern. complete
system. The end of the squabble be-
tween the county and the company, in
regard to the enforcement of the post
hole ordinance, which is not vet a law,
is in sight; unless the unexpected hap
pens, the road committee of the board
of supervisors will today place the seal
OF its approval upon a compromise
which is eminently satisfactory to the
telephone people, and the board of
supervisors viii doubtless ratify the
agreement.
The telephone company will lay con-
dult for the county's police and fire
alarm lines in all of the trenches
through which the telephone conduit
passes. This work viii be done at cost
price, and no pro rata will be charged
for the excavating work. The price
quoted is ID cents foot. The county.
on its part, viii exempt the telephone
company, during the time that its fran
ehise yet has to run, from the payment

of all inspection fees in connection with
permits for excavations, postholes, and
so forth. At any future time when the
telephone company may extend its con
duit system, it will lay conduit for the
county in the trenches with its own
duet at cost price.
These are the terms on which the
company and the county will probably
reach an agreement. Two members of
the road committee Of the board of
supervisors expressed their approval of
the suggestion, and there are enough
other members of the board who viii
give the matter their support when the
recommendation of the road committee
is brought to vote.
The committee yesterday afternoon
would have embodied the above terms
in report favoring a compromise but
for the fact that Aylett felt longing
to indulge in little more oratory and
asked that action be deferred for a
day.

at special conference held in the City
Hall yesterday, and, on the whole, the

SAMPAN IS SEEN
At BIRD ISLAND
Japanese Hunters Thought to
Be Poaching on Forbidden
Ground.

Passing within twenty yards of a
sampan lying five miles off Bird Island,
which is about one hundred and twenty
miles off Kauai Island, the officers of
the transport Buford endeavored to get
an answer to their hail but without
success.
The big transport was coming up to-
ward Kauai after midnight yesterday
morning when Third Officer Drewson,
who was on watch on the bridge saw
light some distance away. He leveled
his night glasses on the light and saw
it bobbing about He came to the
conclusion that it was the boat of some
castaways and notified the captain.
The latter coming up on deck took a
long look at the light and came to the
same conclusion as the third officer.
The transport was then diverted from
her course and directed toward the
light. On approaching nearer it was

by the loss of the Norwegian steamer

Reef, for when the vessel left Homo

cellaneous articles intended for Rev.
and Mrs. Philip Adam Delaporte. the
missionaries of Central Union at
Nauru, Micronesia On August LIST a
service was held at Central Union
church in which reference was made
to the Micronesian mission and atten-
ton also called to some of the ina
mediate needs of the mission and the
Delaportes. The list of items wanted
ranged from one jack donkey which
was supplied, to a barrel of lime
This is the second donkey sent to the
mission. \ donkey-cart was also
furnished, three water tanks with a
capacity of 5000 gallons each, and
several gallons Of carbolineum. Among
other things asked for and furnished
and forwarded on the Ocean Queen,
were half ton of hay, three barrels
of cement. ten gallons asphalt paint,
400 lineal feet of lumber, ten pounds
of lampblack, twenty-four copies of
Gospel Hymns, and 125 pounds of nails !;
1900 gothic pickets.
There were also personal gifts for
the Delaportes, all of which John r.

Mission, offered to take without charge
to the church for the Hawaiian Board,
The vessel sailed the latter part of
August and was therefore out only
about a month when wrecked.

JAPANESE ROYAL PRINCE
IS PASSENGER ON TENYO

San Francisco to ascertain whether
Kuni will come here as a prince or a
simple japanese gentleman. In the
latter case, the distinguished visitor
will probably be escorted at once to
the Consul Generals residence on Nuu-
anu avenue where he will spend the
night. The Pail trip will be made and
HE Royal Highness viii be shown
about the city.
Should the reply to the cablegram
indicate that Prince Kuni is willing
to be entertained here at any public
functions, a big reception will prob
ably be arranged in his honor by Con-
sui General Uyeno. Members of the
local japanese colony are extremely
anxious to show honor to the relative
of the emperor, and a reply stating
that a reception will be acceptable
would be highly appreciated.
Prince Kuni will continue on east
ward by the Tenyo Maru, he being
anxious to reach home as soon as pos
sible
The prince is a young man, only
about thirty years of age, but has
already been entrusted with some very
important missions.

Honolulu is soon to have the honor
of entertaining real royal price. His
Royal Highness Prince Kuni, third son
of Prince Asahiko, and prince OF the
blood royal of Japan, viii arrive here
from the Pacific Coast on the next
Tenyo Maru.
Prince Kuni attended the Hudson
Fulton celebration as the personal rep
resentative of the Emperor of Japan.
Since the close of the celebration he has
been travelling in the United States.
On his travels. His Royal Highness has
DOTTED his royal rank and has gone
about as private citizen. Whether
he will come here in his official capa-
city, or simply as a citizen of Japan,
IS not yet known. Upon this question
will hinge the entertainment arranged
for him. as it would be out of place
to extend royal welcome should it
develop that the prince has laid aside
his royal rank for the time being.

Three Of the editors Of japanese pa
pers in Hawaii are in trouble with the
United States government and it IS
expected that indictments will be re
turned against them by the Federal
grand jury next week soon after that
body meets. The editors are charged
through the United States mails, which
is very serious offense and one that
is liable to earn the offenders consid-
cradle terms in Jail if they are convict
ed. United States District Attorney
Breckons says he has strong cases
against the three men and is confident
that they will be convicted.
Editor Sega of the Nippu Jill, the
organ of the Higher Wage Association,
is one of those who finds himself up
against the laws and statutes of the
United States. Mr.. Breckons has,
filed away. several copies of Sega S
paper which contain matter which is
alleged to be of an obscene nature
within the meaning of the statute, and
the TeueIdl prosecuting dtbOIhtN tA1hhS
that when the trial of Mr.. Sega is
finished. the editor who is credited
with having had the most to do with
creating and stirring up the strike will
find himself landed behind the bars.
Editor Kimura of the Hawaiian Jap
anese Chronicle is also accused of hav-
ing mailed indecent matter and the
grand jury will be asked to return an
Indictment against him. Copies of his
paper containing articles that are said
to be indecent are in the possession of
the United States District Attorney.
Mr. Breckons has mass of evidence
against Yokogawa, the editor of the
Maui Shinbun, which he is sure will
result in landing the ardent supporter
of Mori, the would be assassin of Ed
tor Sheba. in jail for long term.
Altogether, the next session of the
Federal grand jury promises to be an
uncomfortable time for Japanese edi-
tors who persist in setting at defiance
the laws Of the United States against
She publication and mailing of matter
which is not fit to appear in an Ameri-
can household.

JAPANESE ARE
PREPARING
WELCOME
Otani's Honors Will Be
Greater Than Given
Prince Fushimi.

a reception which will surpass that
given to Prince Fushimi is being pre-
pared by the Japanese Buddhists of
Honolulu for Soncho Otani, brother of
Count Kojui Otani, the supreme patri-
arch of the West Hongwanji Buddhist
church, who will arrive here next Mon
day from San Francisco. Not only will
Otani be received with honor as the
brother of the patriarch and as a priest
himself, but he will be received and
honored as the one chosen to reign in
his brother s stead as hereditary head
and as one who is now on his way
back to Japan to take his place at the
head of the church during an extended
absence Of the Count.
In his honor, ,JapantOWn will be
bright with flags and banners; to re-
ceive him there will be a gathering
of the prominent japanese of the Ter
rit0ry at the wharf, hundreds and hun
.dreds of school children in uniform
kim0nOs and scores Of decorated car
riages, hacks and automobiles. A rela-
tive Of the Royal House of Japan,
he will be given royal honors.
Quaint Religious Ceremony.
The main ceremonies of welcome,
however, will be given at the West
Hongwanji mission, on upper Fort
street Here will be held at some time
during the stay in Honolulu of the
church leader great religious revival
AT this will gather the faithful from
all over the group, who will pass before
their youthful leader-Otani will be a
young patriarch--to receive aDso1utlon.
This ceremony is a quaint one, bark
ing back to the days of ancient Japan,
when all the Buddhist priests were
clean shaven as to polls. In the same
manner that devout Roman Catholics
kneel before the Pope to receive his
blessing, the Buddhists will kneel be-
fore their leader, but instead of lay
ing his hand upon their heads, the
priest will snip from the head of each
a lock of hair, to betoken that the one
so clipped has resolved to shave his
head and consecrate his life to Buddha.
Office and Wife.
Soncho Otani is Fastening home on
two important missions. In the first
place he is to reign over the West
Hongwanjis as temporary patriarch IN
the absence of his brother, the Count,
who has resolved to take the same

just finishing. This will mark an
