| ject. He said that he was an English
man and this Englishman must be
| paid by Uncle Sam > or there would be
| trouble. Later, he come TO the Adver-
tiser office to complain that an after
| noon paper was ''after him." and
when shown a copy of the paper, he
pointed to headlines about Kepoikai,
saying that he was Kepoikai and the
persecution - must stop. His next
visit was productive of the following
communication:
"Tonight [ feel more bright than
fortnight ago; / feel l will win the
battle, for | know that Heaven Father
Will help me, and will blessed the King
& his nation.
(Signed) GEO. E. GILES"

~ rejoice indeed to heir the good
! News last night went to get out and
see the fun as I heart this morning
I am till weary and blinded on the
matter, but in day or two | be able
to do business.
Another letter was a sort of biogra-
ply of King George IT of Tonga, but
before the writer was half through the
communication he had turned to him
self, as follows: "The great Traveller
in the world will sail away from this
port Some time this week to q. S.
America on a business matter, then
from there on to London to attending
the University This is his third trip
around this world; he will probable Sail
back again in y month times. I just
gone to say that [ am very glad to See
that some one have Influenced by my
suggestion.
"Uncle Sam must gone.
"GEO. E. GILES.o
Yesterday Giles came to the Adver-
tiser office to announce that he had
been duly elected king of Hawaii and
was willing to hear from people about
the formation of his government. He
said he had just come from the post
office and was not satisfied with the
stamp window and money order depart
ment and that things must be changed
there Immediately. He said that while
he was king the rate of postage would
have to be changed to the penny post
age system for letters, and furthermore
that Uncle Sam s head must be remov-
ed from the stamps and his own SUBJ
stituted.
Furthermore he wanted the English
coinage substituted for Uncle Sam s
money and his head should also appear
on the coins.
He felt that he must have a palace
to cover his royal head and house his
ministers of state and that he would
have to move toward the selection of
cabinet. AS to salary he confessed
to was not quite sure about this matter
but he suggested $500 a month as fair,
but later on changed to 5000.
When told that there was already
Queen here, he stated that he would
make things satisfactory to her, and to
DR.. Emerson, later on said he would
settle a quarter of a million dollars
upon her. In all things he knew the
Heavenly Father would guide him. He
said he was willing to form a cabinet,
and at this iuncture Detective Medeiros
was introduced to him as a possible
Lord Chamberlain. The new king shook
hands with the chamberlain in a hearty
manner, and agreed to accompany him
to one of the public buildings of the
kingdom to discuss the government sit
uation. He went to the police station
with the detective and was ushered
into the presence Of Sheriff Jarrett.
The "King' plunged into the story
of his election at once, and spoke again
of his need of palace and cabinet
ministers to run the government.
81 came from Tonga originally, but
arrived in Honolulu five or six months
ago. said the "King.' 81 am a
carpenter by trade, but on Saturday
last I was duly elected King. You
will see it in the newspapers, I don t
know just what to do. This is new to
me. [ feel that I ought to study to
fit me for the position of King. I have
thought about going away on the s. S.
Moana, but I think the government
should pay my passage for myself and
suite, and pay me salary while IN
away studying. Yes, | could leave the
formation of the government in the
hands of my ministers.
You see, down in Tonga there is
| an independent government ruled by a
king under the protection of Great
Britain. It has an Independent flag.
This country should have its own king
and Independent flag, and put Uncle
| Sam out. / will write soon to Lord
High Edward of England and tell him
| about it. That will take time of course,
! but when I hear from him it will be
all right, and we will put Uncle Sam
out of Hawaii. -
When taken before Chief Of Detec-
tives Kalakiela, another long talk about
the formation of the government was
had and he thought that the various
persons to whom he talked during the
course of the afternoon would be good
| cabinet ministers with Medeiros as Lord
| Chamberlain, the chief as Minister of
Police, Chief Clerk Asch as Minister of
| Finance, newspaper reporter as Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, and Dr. Emer-
son he regarded as the Royal Household
Physician.
On being conducted to the receiving
station and shown the telephone and
telegraph system the "King' said that
he would have to change it all and put
in another system. 1t was decided to
put the man in one of the rooms back
of the Deputy Sheriff S office. He was
shown the armOry cell and Giles sug-
gested that one of the vacant cells
should also be used for storing rifles
that there were not enough in the build
ing to army the military. His Majesty
