Throughout his life Mr.. Carter had
occupied prominent place in the af-
fairs of the Hawaiian Islands. In his
younger days he was a news-gatherer
for the Advertiser, when it was es-
tablished in the SOS by the late H.
w. Whitney. He occupied various
governmental positions in the Postof-
flee, Department of Finance, ETC., and
was Consular Agent FOR Japan until
about the middle of the sos. He was
a member of the monarchical Legis-
lature. His friendship with the royal
family was maintained after the over
throw of the monarchy, and until re-
Gently he was the adviser and business
agent of Queen Liliuokalani. OF late
years Mr.. Carriers health began fail
ing. and recently he was so indisposed
that he had to give mp personal atten-
| ton to business affairs.
The removal of Mr.. Carter from the
Dist of well-known residents makes

of kamaainns. He was a man of ster
ling business qualities and citizen OF
worth.

WELCOME FOR
MORMON LEADER
(FrOm-saturday,s Advertiser.l

(trom>Saturday Advertiser.)
President Joseph F. Smith of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints of Salt Lake City, Utah, accom-
panied by eleven others, arrived on the
Alameda to visit in the islands for
about a month. He was received at the.
Oceanic dock by a large delegation of
Hawaiians and members of the faith
and was given glad welcome by the
Hawaiian band. The reception by the
latter was special mark of favor in
return for many kindnesses to the
bandsmen while they were in Salt Lake
City couple of years ago during their
memorable tour Of the states. Presi.
dent Smith was deeply touched with
this welcome and personally thanked
the bandsmen.
In his party are Mrs. Smith and their
four daughters; Bishop Nibley, presid-
ing bishop of Salt Lake, his wife and
two daughters; Mrs. McCune, wife of
the wealthy mining operator, A. w.
McCune of Utah and Peru, and Bishop
Woolley, who is in charge of the Nor.
mon Mission in the Hawaiian Islands
with headquarters at Laie, the sugar
plantation of the Mormon church at the
other end of this island.

Greeted at Church.

Greeted at Church.
After being welcomed by Elder Alb
ram Fernandez, several of the young
elders from Utah who are spending
their mission service of three years in
the islands. and many of the Latter
Day Saints, the party was driven to the
Mormon church on Punchbowl, where
large crowd greeted them, and where
at noon the visitors sat down to Ha-
waiian luau, replete with native deli
cacies. To President and Mrs. Smith
the Hawaiian luau was not new, for
the President came here first in 1854
on his first mission and has visited here
| several times since, but to Bishop and
Mrs. Nibley, Mrs. McCune, the Misses
| Nibley and Smith, the feast was a
| curiosity. but they enjoved it.
During the luau the Hawaiian band
played in the yard, Mr.. Naone leading.
The President sat near the band much
of the time and asked for various
pieces to be played. He was greeted
| by many of the Hawaiians with the
deepest of respect.
Meets Old Friend.
A touching incident occurred when
an old blind Hawaiian woman met the
President. They were old friends; for
the President met her when he first
came to the islands. She cried from
pure joy and patted the President IS
hand. The President spoke to her in
Hawaiian and this pleased her the more.
The Hawaiians were surprised that the
President should have retained such a
command of the native language, but
Bishop Nibley said that it was the
common thing when George Q. Cannon
was alive for these two men to swing
from English into Hawaiian. Both be-
came fluent Hawaiian scholars during
their various visits to Honolulu.
President Smith and family will be
the guests of Elder and Mrs. Abram
Fernandez during their stay in Homo
lulu. They will visit Laie and hold
services there, and will also go to other
islands. The President is particularly
anxious to visit the volcano this time.
On Sunday next he will preach in the
Mormon church on Punchbowl. The
entire party will leave for the main
land again about March %.
President Smith, despite his seventy
years, is hale and hearty, vigorous in
his movements and looks to be ten
, years younger. AS the head of the
, Mormon church at the present time, he
has shown himself strong leader, and
his capacity for successful fnanciering
, has aided largely in the upbuilding of
the temporal side of the church.

THE LAUNDRY LAW
 UNDERGOING 4 TEST
A Suit Begun in Prescott to Test Its Validity.

Up in Prescott, they are going to find out how about the eight-hour laundry law Says the Journal Miner:
 In order to test the constitutionality of the law passed by the last legisla- ture of Arizona, a suit was instituted yesterday before Judge McLane. gov erning the hours of labor in a steam laundry. The complainant was Al Crawford, the foreman of that insti- tuition, the defendant being H. w Heap, the manager of the Prescott Steam laundry.
 This action was taken under the provisions of Section of the law. which reads as follows:
 "The period of employment of work ing women and others who shall be employed in the, laundry department shalT be eight hours in any one day. except when it is necessary to make repairs to machinery. In no other case shall the hours of labor exceed forty eight hours a week" -
 In his examination before Judge McLane. MT Crawford stated that she had worked on the 9th of July oter nine hours. on the 7th of July, nine hours. This work was performed-in laundry duties.
 No answer was made te this testi- mony by MT Heap. Judge McLane rendered his decision, fixing the pen7 alty at the minimum, and a s10O fine was imposed.
 An appeal was taken and a bond given. the matter to be further thresh+ ed out in the district court
 In conversation with Journal- Miner representatives Mr. Heap -etated that this law is one of injustice. not alone to his interests. but to all others similarly engaged. At times it is an impossibility tO complH with it. owing to scarcity of competent working people in many of the departments, and the inevitable rush of work at other times necessitates labor to be employed over the limit of the time this law calle for Another question Ito be considered as vitally affecting his interests. is the Chinese laundry wcrks. and the long hours of labor they perform It is an imoossihilty to reach them in any court. and they continue their established hours with out any intention whatever to obj serve the new law or any other. for that matter, where the hours of labor are designated
