county. or any part of it. So far as we have been able to judge public sentiment the prohibitionists will not be able to muster a majority of the votes favoring the closing of the sa-
 looms. But it is a fact that there is
 8 sentiment growing against the sa-
 looms because of their persistence in
 permitting gambling on their prem
 ises or on premises provided by the
 saloons and where drinks are served. .If the saloons over the territory would cut away from all semblance of gamo- ling they would find that much of the sentiment against them would disap- pear.
 It is quite likely that the legisla- ture before its adjournment will pass some new laws for the regulation Of saloons. One bin has been introduced preventing any form of card playing or other gambling in a saloon. or oth ei place where intoxicating liquors are sold. Another measure provides for the closing of saloons from midnight to s o'clock and also for the closin. Of the saloons on Sunday. Both these measures win probably become laws. + they are passed and obeyed by the saloons. they will GO much to prolong the life of the saloons in Arizona The sentiment in Arizona is. much strong CT for the strict regulation of the sa- looms than it is for prohibition.

PASSING OF GERONIMO.

The death of Geronimo, fbe Apaehs warrior at Fort SiR this week. as an rounced in the Associated Press. re- moves from life @ character which wiH stand prominent in the history of Arizona in the future. Geronimo con tested with dOgged determination the coming of the white man tO Arizona and opposed the march of civiliza- ton and industry in this direction. We can find no record of the age cf Geronimo, but those who had per sonal acquaintance with him are Of the opinion that he was between eighty and ninety years old
 Geronimo led a band of what was known as the Chiricahua Apache In dians and they made a record for be- ing the most dangerous and treacher- ous Indians ever encountered by the white man in his effort to develop and plant industry and civilization in the west

rHE PACE BILL.

What is known as the Pace bill in
 the legislature. which passed the low.
 CT house on Tuesday. Is a measure
 smending the local option liquor law
 in this territory SO that when a local
 option election is held in the territory
 a mere majority of the votes cast at
 such an election will be sufficient to
 invoke the provision of the law. The
 local option law, as passed several
 years ago in the territory, required
 that the law could not be invoked un- til twothirds of the voters should
 rote in favor of it.
 The prohiibtionists of. the territory and the temperance workers general ly have complained of this law as be- ing an anomaliy and an unheard of proposition. While there were eleven votes against this measure in the house We have never heard of anyone attempting to give reason for de- priving the majority the right 10 con trci in the matter of local option. Word from Phoenix is to the effect that the Pace bill win encounter it- tie opposition in the council and it Is expected that its passage by that body will be promptly followed by the sig nature of the governor.
 Now. as to the results of this meas ere. It is expected that the anti-sa loon league and all others fayoring prohibition in the territory will no, delay in the matter of trying theii strength in many of the counties and precincts of the territory. In Graham county it Is quite likely that what sa looms are left in the GiIa valley win be closed under the provisions of the new law. Already under the old law twothirds rule several precincts in the Gila valley have invoked the pro vision of the local option law. Sa- looms only exist in SolomonVille and Safrord and il is pretty sure that un- der the new law both these towns will go "dry"
 But the strenuous fight may be ex- pected in Maricopa county. The pro LIbitionists are strong in that county and in a prohibition election held over the entire county a year ago a good safe majority voted for closing the saloons. but there was not enough to put the local option law in cIect un- | Ger the requirement for a two-third vote. It is believed thas a majority ci the votes win now put the local cpticn law in eGect in that county
 lt Is hardly possible for the new iaw to effect conditions ia Cochi5s

The Bisbee Miner is now getting ready to blame statehood failure on Senator Beveridge. notwithstand- ing the fact that during the cam uaign last fall this same paper was making the bold statement that the lection of Ralph Cameron to con gress would remove all opposition If Beveridge and other enemies of Arizona to the statehood bill. This

THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT TAFT.

Great preparations are being com pieted in Washington for the inaugur ation of William H. Taft as presi dent Of the United States l. is known that there will be the most lavish and expensive decoration oi the city ever beheld on any former oc casion.
 Those wIo will participate will no, be confined 10 those who will honestly rejoice because of the elevation oi the gentleman and distinguished 5ur- ist and statesman of Ohio. but there Ufn be those there to rejoice because of the assurance that the disappear ance of the Big Stick" is to be one of the features of the Taft inaugural.
 Already there are clubs being formed to be composed of reaction ary' congressman, "malefactors7 of great wealth. members of the ana nias" club and those who have during the last seven years been stung by the shorter and uglier word.
 These clubs have provided them selves with the largest sky rockets to be secured in the market, enor- nous kegs of red paint, flags and bunt- tEg galore and enough champagne to provide exhilaration for those who have been swathed in bandaSes dur ing the operation of the Big Stick %
 Here in Arizona there will be tears ci. both sorrow and joy because of the departure of Teddy and the sue oession of the gentleman from the Buckeye state. The Kibbeyites and those who have been filled at the pie counter during the last four years win be among the sOrrowing and these who expect to succeed them win be filled with joy. Word has recently come to Arizona 10 the e1- feet that the Taft administration win make a clean sweep of the present federal officials in this territory and certainly this announcement is sua- cent to cause both joy and d7Pres- sion in the ranks of the G. o. P. all the way from the banks Of the G-acd Canyon to the border line.
 The failure ol the senate to con firm the nomination of Kibbey has al ready brought into view Q sign of dire distress in the ranks of his fol- lowers end favorites, while those who are hoping to don the robes of fed eraI office when Kibbey is retired are wearing a smile that is pleasing 10 behold.
 The most popular measures before the legislature are the anti-gamblins bills. It is pretty safe 10 say the games of poker. pangingue and slough. like faro. roulette and other gambling devices are having their last deals in Arizona. Laws for aboiishing an man ner of gambling should be promptly enacted and strictly enforced. Then there will be less prohibition and ants saloon league sentiment in Arizona.
 Says the Fl Paso News: Delegate Mark Smith of Arizona did not make either a new or strong point when he said that the treatment Of New Mexico and Arizona by congress was shameful. NIT. Smith should know that fixing a shame on congress is Ike carrying eoals to Newcastle"

NJ. h. De YOUNG
HONORED GUEST
Honolulu Scribes Entertain San
Francisco Chronicle
Proprietor.

Nj. H. de Young was entertained at
luncheon at the Motehizuki Club yes
terday noon by the newspaper men of
Honolulu. The affair, which was en-
tlrely informal, was given as token
of esteem on the part of the press of
Honolulu for the dean of the news
paper craft Oh the Pacific Coast.
Walter G. Smith, editor of the Ad,
vertiser; George Henshall, editor of the
Star, and S. Sheba. editor of the Ha,
wall Shinpo, did the honors on behalf
of the local scribes
After the first greetings had been ex-
changed, hosts and guest retired to the
dressing room. where they attired
themselves in japanese fashion. Then
the party entered the dining-room
where Japanese luncheon was served
on a low table, after the custom that
prevails in Nippon.
AS each member of Honolulu IS news
paper coterie emerged from the dress
ing room, clad in kimono and Japa-
nese shoes, he was greeted with good
natured chatting by his fellow scribes.
The discovery that luncheon must be
eaten from a table. scant six inches
high, also produced some amusement
and not a little CONSERVATION. But
soon all were seated. and the tempting
but mysterious dishes were inves-
tigated
Mr.. Sheba. sitting at Mr.. de Young IS
right, initiated the distinguished guest
into the mysteries of the chop-stieks.
There were no toasts and no formal
program, general good fellowship hold
ing sway Mr.. de Young demonstrated
that the cares incident to the direct
ing of the destinies of great news
paper have not made him forget how
to enjoy himself in true democratic
fashion.
Those who were present, in addition
to the guest of honor, are:
Walter g. Smith. A. P. Taylor, J. N.
Densham. E. P. Irwin and Churchill

Emory Harris, the colored man who
was practically deported from Homo
lulu few weeks ago as a bad char
acter, arrived on the S. S. Pleiades on
Saturday from the Coast as a member
of the crew and was promptly put in
Jail as soon as he came uptown Sat
urday night. He is held at the police
station for investigation by Chief
Leal.
Harris knew he was under the ban
when he left town, or rather when he
was placed aboard steamship and told
that his presence here was no longer
desired, yet like the cat, he came
back. While he was in The Navy,
attached to the Iroquois, he disgraced
the service and was often in the brig,
and quite often in Jail. He was con-
tinually getting into scrapes uptown,
and twice scaled the station house
wall and escaped. In each case he had
liberty for only few hours.
His last offence here was the shoot
ing of another colored man. He es-
capped for while and was pursued
all over the island before being re-
captured. The court permitted him
to go unsentenced on condition that
he quit Hawaii forever.

A life of secluded ease is that led
by DR.. Rougier in the South Seas, where
he is king of more than one island and
monarch of all he surveys.
In FIJI, the doctor was only prince

and those he disposed of recently and
embarked upon the Royal Mail 5. $.

his two devoted servants, a Solomon
Island man and o woman, whose woody
heads and coal black skins amused
local folk A few days in Honolulu
were all that DR.. Rougier had at his
disposal. but in that time he spent
money right and left with lavish
hand, and on the night he went aboard
the S. S. Mariana to sail for Tanning
Island, he left $4,000 in English gold
in the hands of his agent to pay for
the goods he had purchased.
DIR. Rougier has been a thrifty man,
and has accumulated his fortune in the
South Seas, principally from the meat
of the cocoanuts, which as eOpra, finds
market in the United States at al
most the same price as sugar. Sventy-

trees growing in his South Pacific do
mains, is the price the outer world pays
for his product, and it has made HIM
rich.
When the Greig brothers wanted to
sell their island of Tanning, and the
island was placed on the market in
Sydney, Dr. Rougier was the man who
bought it. The Alfred cable Com
pany, which operates its wire along the
bed of the Pacific from Victoria 20 New
Zealand and Australia, maintains
cable station on Tanning. That sta
ton brings every other steamer of the
Canadian Pacific Steamship Company 10
the island on the down trip, and in that
way the supplies are obtained. On
those vessels Dr. Rougier will get his
supplies from Honolulu, for he has has
business representative here, 5. H. De
Freest of the firm of De Freest q Co.
The granting Of the privilege to the
cable company to maintain its station
on Tanning has procured for Dr.. Rou-
gier the right TO cable to any part OF
the world without cost.
The doctor intends to develop the
copra industry to the limit on both
Farming and Washington Islands. He
will need good laborers, and he may

STEAMER SAIL
Manchuria Is Given Royal Send
Off as Band Plays
Aloha De.

It was big gala day event when
the big Pacific Mail steamship Man
churia left port yesterday afternoon
for San Francisco, for the Hawaiian
band was ON hand to give the usual
and always acceptable musical sendoff
and there were hundreds of townspeo-
pleple on the wharf and invading the
steamers decks to see friends off. Lels
were there by the bushel, and most of
the departing passengers were laden
with fragrant blossoms.
When the vessel pulled away from
the wharf, exactly at o'clock, the
decks were strewn with petals, and
leis came in a shower over the rail
to friends on the wharf. There We're
many young people going away to at
tend school and they were given niue
attention from their fellows.
Miss Smallwood, who came here to
be bridesmaid at the Hopper-Living-
stone wedding, returns to Washington
after a delightful visit with the Hop
pers on Keeaumoku street, and she car
ried away a load of leis. Col. Samuel
Parker departed, his panama decked
with a beautiful violet lei. Miss
Beatrice Campbell, who goes to Cali
fornia to enter school, accompanied
by Miss Whiting, presented pretty
picture, her face almost hidden be-
hind blossoms. Mr. and Mrs. John
l.. Gordon, of New. York, who stopped
off here few months ago to remain
a few weeks, were covered with flow
ers. They go to San Francisco, taking
the Mariposa there for Tahiti and
Cook Island. They will tour the South
Seas and return to Honolulu about
Christmas, to spend the remainder of
the winter. Honolulu's climate has
taken a hold upon them and now they
want to become kamaainas.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. P. Schwerin were
given a royal sendoff by number of
friends, including Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Maefarlane, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Dut-
ton. Mr.. and Mrs. B. Griggs Holt, who
leave for the mainland to- remain three
or four years, were also the center of
a group, including the Maefarlanes,
buttons, Johnnie Walkers and Akin
sons. Jack Atkinson accompanied the
party outside, returning in the pilot
boat The Schwerin and Holt motor
ears were taken aboard at the last
moment. Mr.. and Mrs. NJ III. de
Young received many floral attentions
from friends they made while here.
Miss Ray Bell, the talented amateur,
who goes to- California to study for the
stage, had delegation on hand to
give her the "good luek' sign. Sew
eral Chinese boys left to attend vari-
Gus schools on the mainland, one, Mon
Yin, going to Yale.
Captain Macaulay, the pilot, handled
the big boat in fine shape. Exactly at
5 clock, with all lines loose, the ves=
sci began working back into the basin,
and went sternmost until she backed
into the Alakea slip where she was
turned and pointed to the channel. Her
boodbye whistles sounded at exactly
twenty-five minutes past five, which
shows the excellent time in which the
pilot maneuvered the vessel.

SCORE
IS VERY FAIR
Despite Bad Weather Local Men
Show Well in Long Range
Contest.

In the face of rain squalls, windy
weather and unfavorable conditions
from start to finish. the rifle team of
the First Regiment, Hawaiian Ma
tional Guard, made an aggregate score
of 652 out of a possible 1000 on the
Fort Shafter range yesterday morn
ing, competing against similar team
from the Washington State National
Guard signal corps, which shot over a
range at Seattle about the same time
Sergt. E. B. Blanchard made the high
est score for the 200, 900 and 1000-yard
ranges, making lis, closely followed
by Captain T. P. Cummins with III.
Captain NJ. NJ. Johnson, ia; Corporal
NJ. V. Fernandez, 1872. and Sergeant
H. FL. Williams, 100. The two latter
men had never before participated in
a contest. The total scores are above
those of the Hawaiian rifle team at
Camp Perry last year
Thirty-fve is an expert score for
the 1000 yards, and Blanchard made
SO. His 600yard score of Al was very
good. Both Blanchard and johnson,
who are among the expert rifemen
of the regiment, began their firing in
the face of heavy rain squalls, which
was discouraging
Captain o. J. Whitehead was cap
tain of the team, and Lieut.. Col. John
W. Short, scorer. Captain Winant,
\. G. H., acted as tabu1ator for the
Washington team.
The results of the shoot were cabled
up to the Seattle team about 5 clock
yesterday afternoon.

HAWAII CROPS

Tobacco and Coffee Are Money
Producers on the Big
Island.

William Dietz, representing the
Hardamann Hat Company of Seattle,
while praising the Hawaii exhibit at
the Seattle exposition, finds that in
some respects certain features of it
do not bear comparison with the ex-
hibits of some of the States. All in
all, however, he says that the Hawaii
exhibit is attracting more attention
than all the others, and is making
real hit with every one. The fact that
everybody who attends the lectures IN
the main lecture building has to pass
through the Hawaii building, causes
every one to stop and take look
at Hawaii s show.
He says that the relief map of the
islands, lying in a tank of water, is
not only unique, but is the best thing
at the fair. He hopes that the Pro
motion Committee viii leave the tank
in Seattle after the fair Is over, to
be exhibited at the Chamber Of Com
merce, or in one of the railroad office
Hobbies He says also that lecturer
should be in attendance by this tank
at all times.
The pineapples are attracting gen
eral attention. He often stopped for
plate of the luscious fruit. ''Quai-
ity counts, = says Mr.. Dietz, "and If
the Hawaiian packers keep UP the
quality, they can get good price. But
don t try and raise the price of can
of pineapples Produce more pineap-
pies and hold the market at the price
now quoted. but don t raise it. You ii
lose trade if you do he added.
Mr.. Dietz says the people here have
not the knack of putting up fruits and
flowers in alcohol to preserve their nat
ural beauty and color properly. Cab
fornia has this art down to fine point.
Mr.. Dietz says that if the wonderfully
colored flowers of Hawaii could be pre-
served in al~qhol. OF other preserves
tive. and exhibited, they would make
big hit. The hibiscus, for instance, if
50 preserved would be a wonder to the
people of the mainland. There they
raise a hibiscus in pot and the flower
Is small. Here the flower is as large
as a platter.
He is also of the opinion that, if
