GREAT WELCOME WILL

Labor Unions Are Preparing to

Notable Event.
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, October 13.-When
sammuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, returns
from Europe, he will find a reception
Of the most fattering sort awaiting
him. A labor demonstration, such as
has never been known in America, if
in fact anywhere in the world, will
greet the return to his home land of
the great champion of the working
man.
Labor organizations are making elab
crate plans for the reception Of the
distinguished labor leader. Nearly all
of the most important societies of or
ganized workmen in the country will
be strongly represented and the gather
ing will probably be more nearly rep
resentative of American labor interests
than was ever brought together on any
previous occasion.

Practical in its direct bearing upon
the affairs of everyday in Hawaii was
the address made to the gathered
priests of the West Hongwanii Bud
dhist church of these islands on Mon
day by Count Soneho Otani, their lead
er, soon to be their supreme head. Re
markable in its clearness and strong in
its directness was the speech of this
young visitor, speech made to the
priests but undoubtedly intended for
the whole japanese population of
these islands.
Count Otani met the assembled
priests in the Hongwanji Mission
church ana planted in their breasts
the seeds of a practical good advice
that viii undoubtedly grow, blossom
and fruit in every corner of every is
land to the lasting good of the Japa-
nese laborers and residents and to the
future prosperity of Hawaii.
His address, in full. follows:
81 am grateful to you for coming
here to welcome me, coming in spite
of the distances you have had to travel
to be here and the inconvenience that
such trip may have caused you. I
am sorry that [ can not remain here
for some time and see with my own
eyes the good work in which you are
all engaged.
However, I can imagine how much
good you are doing for your fellow
eountrymen when l note the good work
that the Reverend Mr.. Imamura is do
ing here. | can also imagine how ex-
tensive your work must be and how
encouraged you must be in doing it.

> Mayor Fern Caustic in Remarks
to the Board of
Supervisors.

The Mayor lost his temper last night,
when the supervisors held up one of
his appointments, and he got real petu-
liant, characterizing the actions of the
board as childish and calling the super
visors children.
1t all happened because the solons
would not ratify the Mayor appoint
ment of John K Kauwalu as a school
1anltor. Logan suggested that action
IN regard to the appointment be de-
ferred until the county attorney could
be asked whether the appointment of
Jahltors devolves upon the Mayor or
upon the county engineer
Ihat made the Mayor good and mad,
and he dashed himself into a fury. He
SAID that it was about time for the
board to find out what it was about
and said that the dignifed lawmakers
are lot of children.
The appointment of Lot C. X. Lane
as fish inspector was reeonsidered and
approved. There was some doubt as to
the legality of the first vote taken on
the appointment. so the supervisors con-
ciuded to 60 over the business again
an order to make doubly certain.
Logan introduced a resolution calling
Tor the appointment of committee to
see what can be done with regard to
the cutting down of the number of
meetings held each month by the board.
tie suggested that much wordiness
might be eliminated from the minutes
of the meetings, and the work of the
county clerk materially lessened in con-
sequence.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 13.-Libel

These suits were the outgrowth of
charges preferred by the implicated
newspapers against the Isthmian Canal

At the time the charges were made,
feeling ran high throughout the eoun-

The action Of the former President an

added to the popular elamor and for a

This sweeping condemnation of the
water in what is generally supposed to
be the future main reservoir of the
city's water system was made vester
day afternoon by the Superintendent.
of Public Works, after he had been
shown one of the several recent con,
munications on the subject of water
and mud received at this office.
Mr.. Campbell wants to see installed
a pumping plant for the artesian sys
tenn, with power supplied from the Nuu
anu reservoir water, and, in the opinion
of some, his condemnation of the sur
face water supply may be taken as an
added effort to support his contentious
that Honolulu S only hope of a pure
water supply rests in the subterranean
springs. There is undeniabIe mud in
the Nuuanu mains, however, mud that
makes clear the reasons for Mr. Camp
bell s words, whatever it may do to the
water.
Artesian Supply Short Now,
81 am only sorry that | can't sup
ply to everybody artesian water, but ]
can t do it with the resources at the
command of the department, he said
"What / want to do is to use the T.,
100000 or 100000 gallons a day with
head of $50 feet TO pump artesian
water. When we get the money TO dc
it, there will be no complaint to be
made about the water supply of Homo
lulu. But we can't do it until the peo-
pie realize that they must stand to-
gether in the matter, organize them
selves into a sort of neighborhood com
pany, you might-say.
Regular Shortage.
''For twelve years there has been a
shortage of Nuuanu water every dry

ing was done All the reserve we have
now is what is in the three little reser-
voirs-about 10000 gallons-only drop

TAFT'S SHIP
SUBSIDY SPEECH
Believes Country Ready Now to
Start an Experiment lin a
Small Way

IT need not tell you of the
inadequacy Of the American
shipping marine on the Pacific
Coast and of the growing power
for commercial purposes in this
regard of the Empire of Japan.
Japan is one of the most active
and generous countries in the
matter of subsidies to it's mer-
chant marine that we have, and
the effect is only too visible in
an examination of the statistics.
For this reason it seems to me
that there is no subject to which
congress can better devote it's
attention in the coming session
than the passage of a bill which
shall encourage our merchant
marine in such a way as to es-
tablish American lines directly
between New York and other
eastern ports and South Amer
lean ports and between our Pa
cific Coast ports and the Orient
and the Philippines. ''-Presi-
