OBITUARY
iR. WILLIAM l.. OWENS.

| MIX. WILL M l.. OWENS.
Quite a darkness fell on our
home Dec. 10, 1909, when the
death angel visited us and sud-
denly snached from our loving
embrace. our own dear papa,
His death was probably due to
heart trouble. as he had appear
ed we'll up to this time.
Papa gave his heart to God
about 10 years ago. under the
preaching of the Rev. d. G.. c.
Butts. and connected himself with
Bethel Nj. Z. Church and from
that time to the day Of mis- death.
he never turned aside from what
he knew to be right. but ever
kept his face zionwar ] striving 20
live daily himself. and also to
teach his children and friends to
live IN readiness to meet he Saw
ior whom he loved and served
1t seems so hard to give him up,
we realize that we can never hear
his cheerful voice, or his merry
laugh ring out around our fireside
again as it used to. neither can
we receive that kind fatherly adj
vice which he from time TO time
gave us entreating us to live the
true christian life, but we would
not murmur against our Heavenly
Fathers will. He saw best in
his Infinite Wisdom to separate
us for a short time, but we ieel
sure that if we live faithful lives
here. we will see our dear papa
again and then there will be no
separation. no more heart aches.
but we will all live happy togeth-
er throughout an endless eternity.
He leaves to mourn his untimely
end. wife, to wl.om he was de-
voted and who feels his death so
keenly, two children. one grand
child. four sisters. one bro Their
and large circle of relatives and
friends.
His funeral was preached by
Rev. l.. ]. Phaup. his pastor. at
Bethel. and his remains laid to
rest in the old family cemetary,
there to rest till the Savior comes
when we will all join hands around
that eolden shore never 10 part
again.
Sleep, Papa dear,
And take thy rest,
God called thee home,
He thought IT best.
The golden gates were open wide,
A gentle voice said, come,
And angels from the other side,
Welcomed our papa home.
Heaven now retains our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger,
Where our sainted Papa sleeps.

SENATE's PROSPECTIVE
ACTION ON TWO TAFT BILLS

state commerce deliberated over the bill
for very long time, but all the amend
ments which were made were suggest
ed by Attorney-General WickeIsham.
Thus far the senate leaders have made
good their word to the President. They
told him they would attempt to get the
bill enacted into law just as he had
it framed and they believe they have
the majority to do that. But it will
not be done till after there has been
real old twister of debate.
La Toilette and Cummins and Dolli-
yer and Clapp and Bristow and an array
of Democrats have been preparing for
the assault. They are going to do their
very best to get the Republicans who
stand behind the President's commerce
court and behind other provisions of the
interstate commerce amendments into
hot water. They will ring the changes
ON paragraph after paragraph and will
claim that in numerous particulars the
bill is drawn in the interest of the rail
roads, The senate commerce commit
tee has no very good orators among its
Republican members and it will be in
teresting to observe how Senator Elkins
of West Virginia, and Aldrich of Rhode
Island, come off in this defensive role.
Senators Crane of Massachusetts and
Rean of New Jersey, never deliver
speeches and have practically no apti-
tude for that task. Senator Nixon, of
Nevada, also has no power in debate,
while Senator Cullom of Illinois, the
only other Republican of the commit.
tee who voted for the favorable report,

tent to command the attention of the
senate. Cummins and Clapp, the latter
of Minnesota, the two Republicans of
the committee who voted against the
favorable report, are good wranglers on
the floor.
Nevertheless step forward has been
taken with the bill in getting ii before
the senate and in opening the way to
its carly consideration there. As the
senate leaders are confident of a ma.
ioriy, whenever they can reach vote,
they do not have 10 worry much about

AMERICAN AID
Intervention Has Been Suggested
as Means Of Putting End
to the Fighting.

4 WASHINGTON, March 4.-Leading
citizens and partisans of General rs.
trada in Bluefields, Nicaragua, seem
to recognize that the revolutionary
party is doomed to defeat. This was
shown II telegram received at the
State Department late today from
Consul Moffatt at Bluefelds, who stat
ed in effect that the hopelessness of
the revolutionary cause was fully rec
cgnized by prominent people there,
and they strongly hoped that the uni
ted States would intervene.
In the absence of Secretary Knox,
none of the officials would predict
what steps the United States might
take, but in some quarters the sug-
gestion was made that the United
States would continue its policy of
noninterference, at least until one par
ty or the other was willing to lay
down It's arms.
BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, March
AFTER three days of secret confer
ence there is every reason to believe
that General Estrada, the leader of the
revolutionists, and his advisers reluct-
antly have acquiesced in the demand
of American residents in Nicaragua
that receptive ear be turned to any
proposal of American intervention that
will guarantee to them the rights de-
manded, the denial of which caused
the revolution.
The original demands of the revolu-
tionists included the overthrow Of
President Zelaya, which was accom-
plished, and the restoration to the peo-.
pie of the constitutional and common
rights of citizens, which, it was alleged,
had been taken from them under the
Zelaya regime.
While Generals Estrada and Diaz
and Rivera and the other conferees
are absolutely silent concerning the
matter, their frequent calls upon
Thomas P. Moffatt, the American Con-
sui, who also declines to talk, are con-
sidered to support this view.

HOW CHALMERS
MET HIS DEATH
Fell Over a Pail and Lodged in
the Fork Of a Tree Near
Laupahoehoe Gulch.

Details were received yesterday of
the death of Andrew Chalmers, for six
years head luna at Laupahoehoe Sugar
Company, who was killed last Monday
afternoon by his horse falling on him.
Mr.. Chalmers had Just left the main
government road at the entrance of
Laupahoehoe Gulch to 90 over a trail
to one Of the mauka fields. His horse
stumbled and Chalmers reined him up
with such suddenness that the animal
reared and fell back. Chalmers called
to team luna, Mr.. Hutchins. whom
he had just left, but the latter did not
hear him. After the fall Mr.. Chal-
mers got up to walk back on the trail
and evidently fell over pail, a dis
lance of fifteen feet, lodging in the
fork of tree. Two Porto Ricans pass
ing and glancing up the gulch saw him
and went to his assistance and then
one of them caught the horse and start
ed toward -Laupahoehoe, where he had
seen Doctor Irwin. Before reaching
the village he met the doctor, VINO
. went back with him to Chalmers and
rendered all possible assistance. Chal-
mers was conscious and told of the ac-
SieShb UP W inc tlIle ne went over the
pall. OF that he knew nothing as he
had probably tainted.
Doctor Irwin made examination and
found that all of the ribs on one side
were crushed in, whether by the fall
from the horse or in going over the
pail, he was unable to determine. Chal-
mers expressed a desire to get home
and as soon as stretcher was brought
he was carried to his house in Papaa-
loa. He was conscious until a few
minutes before his death, little be-
fore seven O'Clock that night. The re-
mains were taken to Hilo the next day
for interment, the Hilo Lodge of Elks
and all of the white employees of Lau-
pahoehoe Plantations and the residents
of the place as well as the managers of
the plantations in the district attend
ing.
Joseph Moragne, brother-in.law of
Mr.. Chalmers, was in Hilo at the time,
of the accident and went to the home
of Mr.. Chalmers on receipt of mes
sage by phone. He accompanied Mrs
Chalmers to Honolulu on the Mauna
Kea yesterday and will go with her to
Kauai on Monday to visit Mr.. Chal-
mers' sister.
