AMBASSADOR REID RETURNS
TAKES HIS FIRST VACATION IN
EIGHTEEN MONTHS.
Comes From London Aboard Cunard
Liner, With Lord Strathcona
and Others.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, August 20.-Among the
nersons of interest aboard the Cunarder
Mauretania when she doeked to-day were
Ambassador Reid, who is returning on his
first vacation in eighteen months: the
venerable Lord Strathcona and Charles
Abingdon, assistant superintendent oI%the
Great Western railway.
Will Go to Adirondacks.
Ambassador Reid appears to be in ex-
cellent health. 1t is his intention to join
Mrs Reid in the Adirondack after call
ing upon President Taft and the Secretary
of State at Beverly. Mr.. Reid said he ex-
poets to be absent from the court of st.
James until late in September. 1t will be
necessary for him to be present in Lon
don again October I. AS to public affairs
in England. Mr.. Reid declined to have
anything to say, remarking that his Off
cial position was such as to forbid his
discussion of such matters.
Lord Strathcona, although .weH advanced
in years. appeared to be in the best OF
health and spirits, and said he had en-
joyed being on the Mauretania's record
breaking trip immensely. In fact. he Is
ready Ito take little run to Canada
and flying trip to the Pacific coast" as
he described it.
Lord Strathcona said he would stop al
Winnipeg in the course of his journey
across the continent to attend the meet
ing of the British Association of that
city. He spoke particularly of the
growth of the northwest country.
Thirty years ago." he said, nobody
would have believed that Winnipeg would
ever be of sufficient importance to have
such a thing as British Association
Winnipeg was then Fort Garry and had
40 inhabitants Now it has 10000.
Lord Strathcona will return to England
with his family party by the Mauretania
September II.
Mr.. Arlington comes to the United
States especially to arrange the details
for the landing of the big Cunarders al
their new port. Fish Guard. While he
is here he will inspect a number OF
American safety devices and signal sys-
TENS for the Great Western railway.
Although running through fogs most
of the way across the Atlantic, the Maui
retania succeeded in making new record
for the westward trip. making the dis
tance from Daunts Rock to the bar in
days IA hours and 38 minutes. This is
twenty-five minutes better than the best
record made thus far by her sister ship
the LuSitania.

city. He was full of the memories of the
old days, and had accumulated during his
lifetime great store of interesting facts
and anecdotes concerning people and in
cidents of the last eighty years. On the
| occasion of his eighty-ninth birthday, Au-
gust % last. he gave an Interview, pub
iished in The Star of that date, and re-
counted many changes in the city since

time of his death enjoyed the distinction
of being the oldest charter member.
Mr.. Williams married Marcia Burns, a
daughter of True1nan Burns, who was a
cousin of the late Mrs. James P. Van

the land now occupied by the city of

navy BOYS SEEK IN
VAIN FOR FISHERMEN

A swim for life through the break
ers, rush overland to the telephone
at Puuloa, a message to the police de-
partment to the effect that two men
were clinging to an overturned sampan
two miles off shore near Barber's
point, a vain endeavor on the part of
the police to communicate last night
with the naval station authorities, and
finally word to an officer aboard the
cruiser West Virginia that help to
save life was needed then a wireless
spark over the bay and beyond the
reef to the armored cruisers outside
and soon four powerful speedy launch
es were scootlng into the northwest
in search of the poor chaps who could
not swim and who were left clinging
to a topsy-turvied bottom.
The lighthouse tender Kukui also
joined the search, but like the launch
es, returned to port early this morn
ing without having seen a sign Of the
capsized fishing boat.
A Samoan, Eoiola and two Porto Ri
cans, one named Sam PalinaS the
others name being unknown, left Puu-
loa yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
to go fishing in. a sampan.

Wish To Deny Impeachment.
I A number of the boys of the fleet
wish to correct a statement that ap-
peared in a local newspaper to the
effect that they hired rooms in the
hotels and then slept on the grass in
the parks.
Nothing of the kind!" they de-
clare. "Those who hired rooms slept
in those rooms; they were only the
chaps who hadn't thought to engage
rooms or who could not find rooms,
who slept out of doors.
Veteran SaiIormen.
There are many in the Sebree
squadron who have but a few years
to serve before they can be retired
on half pay, and among these are not
a few who are gathering information
concerning Honolulu, and the islands
generally, with view to returning
here some day to settle down.
! Such questions as the following
have been asked:
How many acres of land should a
man have to make the growing of
pineapples profitable venture%"
rs it possible to secure any land
at all for the growing of pineapples ?"
: is there a cannery here?"

Between six and seven o'clock last
evening 1t was impossible for a civil
lian to find a seat in any centrally
situated restaurant in the city. Half
the men of the fleet, it seemed, were
loading up for the evening on shore
grub, chiefly rare cuts of steak, aud
mutitudinous eggs. Nor did their
hearty meals at all interfere with
dancing, those who sought dance
halls. At the Waverley there were
many couples whose only converse.

RIOT Jury
IS HANGING

Out a full twenty-four hours and
nothing doing as to verdict is the re-
cord made up to noon today by the
jury in the second trial of Jotaro Mi
kawa and nine other Japanese for riot
at Waipahu on June last.
Seven to hve for conviction was
then the latest speculation around
Judge De Bolts courtroom, but new
instructions having been given them
the jurors may be in different posi-
tion by the time this is printed.
When word was sent into the jury
rom at 12 noon that the jurors might
go out to luncheon, they sent back a
message to the effect that they would
like to stay in little longer A
hurry-up call was made for counsel
which brought Deputy Milverton in
place of City Attorney Cathcart for
the prosecution, together with Light
foot for the defendants, to court IN
side of a quarter of an hour.
Judge De Bolt then made an order
that counsel for both sides must re-
main in. constant attendance while
the trial pended.
At 12:14 the jurors filed into the
box. Judge De Dolt informed them,
in reply to questions they had asked,
that upon consideration the courts s
instruction upon the relative gravity
of the offeses of riot and unlawful as
sembly was withdrawn. They were
directed not to consider it,
On motion of Lightfoot he read to
the jurors the statutes describing un-
lawful ASSEMBLY and riot, and fur
ther instructed them that they had
nothing whatever to 90 with the pen.
atty the court might Impose in tha
event of conviction. Also he ins.

tructed them that the indictment
charged the defendants only with
creating danger to persons and not
with causing danger to property.
On the matter being put to them,
the jurors elected to go to luncheon
before again retiring. They could
return to court at their own dtscre-
ton. The DEFENDANTS were however
told to be in court not later than 1870.
These are the Jurors: Joseph Whit
tie Edmund johnson, John Trask, B.
F. Campbell, S. j. Alencastre, John A.
Bortfeld, S. F. Mott, Geo. II. Green,
Jas. Guild, David Vowel, David Mar
tin, John K Clark.
After lunch yesterday they return
ed to court at 2 o'clock and forthwith
retired to consider their verdict At
5:06 and again at 6:O2 they returned
to report that they could not agree.
AT 1880 they were called in and sent
out in charge of the bailifs for din
ner.
Retiring once more the jurors came
in again at 9:45 without a verdict,
when the court ordered the bailffs to
take them to the Moana Hotel for the
night the court adjourning at 1853 p.
m.
At 9:47 this morning the jurors
came into court with the old story OF
disagreement. Out they were sent
again, but came back after four min
utes still disagreed. The court urged
them to try again, and they retired

LAME CRUISER MAY
Be DELAYED; DUTCH
AND YANKEES ASHORE
u S WEST VIRGINIA CRACKED PISTON COMING FROM HA-
wAH AND MAY NOT GET AWAY FLEET SAILS
AMERICAN HoLLANDERs AS COMRADES IN
VARIOUS DELIGHTS ON LAND.

Whether the cruiser West Virginia
will go out with the rest of Admiral
Sebree's armored cruisers on October
fifth to the Admiralty Islands, is at
present undetermined.
After the top speed test to the lee
ward of the Island of Maui week
ago tomorrow, the West Virginia,
just before starting on the return
run to Honolulu, cracked a piston
and the engine room force does not
believe it possible to make the re.
quired repairs in time to get away
with the rest of the fleet on Tuesday
next.
The cruiser Colorado, she who had
an accident to her boilers coming
down from San Francisco, will be in
condition to leave with the others. In
the event of the West Virginia not
beirg g ready to get away on October
5, the, rest of the squadron will not
wait for her, but will proceed to Mares
Straits where they will be coaled
from GOLFERS from Newport News and
Manila, and the West Virginia will
probably catch up before coaling is
complete.
The Yankees and the Dutch.
/ While not as exciting as Saturday
night, last night was very much alive
with the presence OF men-of-warsmen
ashore. Several thousands of the
sailors from the fleet were landed
and. in addition, there were ashore
about two hundred men from the
Dutch man-of-war, the Noorbranbant
They were practically taken in charge
by the men of the American fleet,
who put them on to the ropes as far
as the ways of the city were con
cerned They advised them in regard
to prices; steered them to places of
refreshments; directed them to the
amusement houses; made up parties
in which there were both Americans
and Hollanders; joined with them in
automobile parties. and, in more thar
one instance, went marching through
the streets, singing with them. The
best of camaraderie prevailed and the
Dutchmen appeared very happy tC
find the Yankee tars ashore to show
them around and have a good time
with them.
The turned-up stiff, straw hats ot
the Dutchmen, as compared with the
soft canvas devices of the Americans
distinguished the Netherlands from
the United States service men at {
distance. There were a few among
the American boys who could tall
Dutch and some among the Holland
ers who could speak English, so they
got along we'll, indeed; not that Ian
guage was necessary, for there are
certain universal signs impossible tt
mlsfunderstand. To take hold of the
sleeve of a blouse and gently lead {
man toward beer is incapable O.
misunderstanding, as is also the ac
of handing him a cigar.
Get on to the Dutch" cried {
youngster who felt called upon to b.
funny.
"Oh, shut up!" cried an older ship
mate. 1They're all right, and don
you forget it,"

CHIEF CLERKS

ABOLISHED

"The statement published about

hour.
''No, there has not been any az
pOintment.
"There may be reorganization in
the work of the Executive department

The Governor assented to a remark
that the handling of the election
business and of the legislative ex-
pensos accounts were among tha
welghtiest matters for a chief CLERK,
adding:
"After the first Of July the work
Of the office will be reduced, as the
