THE FRENCH AMBASSADORS
TRIBUTE ON LINCOLN DAY

SPRINGFIELD, H., FEBRUARY I'm.
Jusserand, the French Ambassador,
spoke as follows at the Lincoln day
Observance:
"On two tragic occasions, at a cen
fury g distance, the fate Of this eoun-
try trembled in the balance. A leader
was wanted on both occasions. This
boon from above was granted to the
American people who had a Washington
when Washington was needed and a
Lincoln when Lincoln could save
them. Both had enemies, both had
doubters, but both were recognized by
the nation at large as the men to shape
the nation s destinies -
After referring to the trials through
which the nation passed in the time of
Washington and paying an eloquent
tribute to the personality Of Washing
ton. Ambassador Jusserand continued:
"a century of almost unbroken pros
perity had nearly elapsed when came the
hour of the nation s second trial. The

was at hand. Then it was that in a
not yet world famous town, Chicago by
name, the Republican convention met
to choose a candidate for the presi-
dency. It chose man whom my prede-

man almost unknown, Mr.. Abraham

years later, the illustrious French
writer, Provost Paradol, 'the uneasiness
with which we awaited the first words
Of that President then unknown upon

H|lO MERCHANT SUES
AFTER STOCK DEAL

s F. Chroniele.-John A. Scott, a
merchant of Hilo, has brought SUIT
against the National Portland Cement
Company of California and Hugh Cen
ter for $4,000 because, as he says, ne
was induced by fraudulent representa-
tions to invest $24,700 IN stock and
bonds of the company.
He saws that for twenty years he has
been personal friend of Center, ana
had great confidence in him. That he
also had great confidence in n. On
landt and John Buck, who were IN
business in San Francisco, and with
whom he had had many business deal
ings In May, 1907, he charges, Cen
ter solicited the purchase of stock ana
bonds in the cement company, saying
that he was largely interested himself
that the company owned large tracts
of land suitable for manufacturing &C.
ment: that Ohlandt and Buck were go
ing to invest heavily, and that bonds
TO the amount of $350,000 had already
been sold.
All these representations, Scott says,
he found to be untrue, when he visited
San Francisco in October, 1908. Mean
while. he bought twenty-six $1,000
bonds and two hundred and sixty $l00
shares of stock, for which he pald
$24.7O0. AS soon as he found out the
true state of affairs, he rendered re-
turn of the stock and bonds, and de-
manded his money, which was refused.
He sues for 100000.

Ed. LORD To

Frank Thompson Says Local
Company Made Good

f. J. Lord, president of the E. j.
Lord Construction Company, formed for
the purpose of submitting a bid on
the Pearl Harbor docks, will probably
go to Cuba to look into the business
prospects there before he. returns to

day. Mr.. Lord wired for his wife to
come to the mainland with his dress
suit short time ago, in order that the
two of them could attend the social
ceremonies on the Inauguration of Pres
ident Taft at Washington.
Lord will meet his wife in San
Francisco said Frank Thompson last
night, land they will return to Wash
ington in time for the Inauguration of
President Taft. They expect to attend
the inaugural ball. 1t is probable that
Ed. will make a trio to Havana before
he starts homeward, to size the situa-
ton up there, and also to look over
some property of mine in Cuba. Friends
of mine in New York are constantly
advising me to settle in Cuba, extolling
its virtues and telling me of the money
to be made there. / had intended to
run down there while I was in the
States short time ago, but was un-
able to do SO. Mr.. Lord viii probably
not remain in Cuba very long. Lou
Whitehouse, who went to Washington
with Mr. Lord, will probably return by
the end of the month.
Eyes, it was hard luck that we did
not get the Pearl Harbor contract, but
[ think we have reason to congratulate
ourselves on the showing made. The
E. j. Lord Construction Company, bid
ding against eight of the biggest com
panies in the United States, came in a
close second. When Whitehouse and
Lord first went to Washington they
were laughed at Those big fellows
who only missed getting the contract

that the little Honolulu firm was joke

OOKAlA'S FATE To Be
DECIDED ON SATURDAY

The annual meeting of the Ookala
Sugar Company win be held Saturday,
and the fate of the company viii then
be decided. To close or not to close the
plantation appears to be the question,
and this matter will be threshed out
at the annual meeting. Who actually
has control at the present time is i'm
possible to determine, according to
those on the street in position to
know. One story says that both fac
tons now fighting for control want to
close up the plantation, the only differ
enee being that they do not agree on
the method of so doing. The general
impression has been for considerable
time that one of the factions wished to
continue the plantation.
Ookala has had a very successful year
past, taking off one of the heaviest
crops in its history. The plantation
affairs are in very good shape at the
present time, and it is said that this IS
the main reason why one faction wishes
to keep it running. This will. however
be decided finally at the meeting to-
morrow From all advance information
obtainable, the meeting promises IL be
very warm.

( Two Jap.Bating Bills introduced by Coelho
Which Congress Would Expunge if En-
acted---The Work of the Day.

The Senate got fairly started on its
Journey yesterday and the acts that
were introduced and passed to print
were inclusive of theories on the tax
question, poi making and revision of
the liquor laws. Senator Coelho, the
Maui freak, introduced a measure that
completes for place with the bills
recently considered by the Legislature
of California in connection with the
Pacific Coast attack of Orientarho-
bia. 1t is designed to close the waters
of the Territory to japanese fishermen,
directing that anyone not citizen of
the United States caught fishing in the
sea waters of the islands shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and fined the
sum of 500.
Senator Moore stood bravely UP
with a new and lengthy liquor law
amendment in his hand and it was
passed to its first reading and print
1t is a carefully worded document and
on the face of it shows high spirited
purpose to safeguard and limit the sale
of Intoxicating liquors. The plain OBJ
iect Of the measure, however, Is to
limit the discretionary power of the
license board and it will undoubtedly
produce some interesting debates II

serious consideration. 1t is the firsi
sign of the work of the whisky rins
