ASSOCIATED Press cablegrams.,

Los ANGELES, October 11.-Presi-
dent Taft was tonight the guest at q
monster banquet rendered him by the
Chamber of Commerce and the business
men of this city. The special car
upon which he arrived here early this
morning stopped but few minutes at
the Arcade Station and then went di-
rectly on to San Pedro, where the Presi-
dent made a complete inspection of the
harbor, for the protection of which
Southern Californians have been agi-
tating for years. Capt. Amos A. Fries,
engineering head of the Harbor Com
mission, and officials of Los Angeles
and its business organizations boarded
the train at the Arcade and continued
with the President to the port.
AT the banquet tonight he was made
a member of the local branch of the
Pioneers Society and is now the only
member who did not cross the plains in
prairie schooners in '49.

Building Campaign
On in Full Swing

TWENTY-FIVE thousand dollars was re-
ported pledged at the dinner given last
evening at the Young Hotel on behalf
of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation. when about two hundred and
thirty of Honolulu representative men
were guests. The news came during
the speechmaking and indicates that
already. there is strong support of the
building project movement which is to
be conducted as a campaign during
the next ten days.
The dinner in itself was one of the
surprises of the commencement of the
campaign; for, as was said in one of
the speeches, it showed strong sym
pathv for the movement when so many
representative citizens should not only
accept invitations to attend but would
pay to be present. Of the $25, 200
pledged, $4,000 is to be paid by Viii
liam G. Irwin, $4,000 by II. P. Bald
win and $4,000 from some one whose
name is not yet announced. The news
was received with applause.
The dinner was a great success. 1t
was served in the lounging room at
small tables each seating six persons.
At the first table sat Governor Frear,
Judge S. B. Dole, Judge Woodruff,
Secretary Paul Super, of the Y. M. c..

MORALS OPENS
Great Crowd Attends Beginning
of October Term of the
Federal Court.

Uncle Sam S Hawaiian School of
Morals opened yesterday with the big
gest attendance that has been record
ed on any opening day. Every seat
was occupied and most of the standing
room was taken up.
In other words, the October term of
the United States District Court open
ed yesterday and the grand jury be-
gan its sittings, out ,of which is ex-
peeted to come woe for some, relief
for others and justice, it is to be hoped,
for all.
The entire lower corridor of the
building was crowded with those sum-
moned to attend the opening of court.
Two rows of chairs lined each side
of the hall, and every chair was oc-
cupied, while many other men and
women stood, squatted on the floor or
hung over the banisters.
a motley collection of humanity it
was, and in large part an impassive
one, notwithstanding that many of
them are accused of offenses, against
the laws and statutes that, if they
are convicted, may send them to Jail
for long terms. There were Hawaiians,
both men and women, some of them
quiet, imperturbable, smoking their
pipes and cigarettes, others, chiefly
the girls and young women, chattering
gaily as if at some especially pleasant
social function.
A large proportion of the crowd was
made up of japanese, their faces mask
ed in stony Indifference that was not
always genuine. Several of the women
had babies in their arms or sprawling
about the dirty floor, funny little
billikins. looking as much like animat-
ed oriental gods as anything else.
Some of the men had the usual sullen
look of the son of Nippon who faces
the laws for which he has no respect
but which have tangled him in web
from which he can not escape.
There were a number of Chinese,
some in occidental costume, others in
the garb of their nation. Pasty faced
Koreans made up a fair proportion Of
the crowd; there were voluble Portu-
guese and crinkly haired Porto Ricans,

Careful Preparations.
Careful preparations to greet their
leader had been made by the Hong

bright notices. Within the church the
altar blazed with many candles, MAX
