When the feet left we took with us
every man we had when we came-nOt

The Admiral also relates the follow
ing story:
Many of the old people Of Honolulu
and lew naval officers still living and
on the retired list will recount to you
by the hour the GoIn,,s Of he dear ut,.
days before steam ana modern guus
took all the poclty cut o. our pro:cs-
sion, when the officers t1iIt'd, danced,
and drank to their hearts content
without fear that the nav department
would know of their performance.
There was III hose days no cable nos
wireless system BY IFh5c.l the people III
Washington co Id tell every hour Of
me day just what those in otner parts
Of the world were doing. One Of the
stories often told, especially by some
Of the surviving officers, though | have
heard it from an oII resilient Of Homo
lulu, is Of one of our officers, com
mOdOre, who never failed TO visit the
Stands when he could find the least
excuse for doing SO. He was fond of
good dinners, and particularly of good
wine. On onea OF his visits he and all
the officers who could be spared from
duty were entertained at a splendid
banquet. One of the peculiarities of
tins commodore was that he always
carried q large blue umbrella when Wis
iting the shore. In the small hours Of
the morning, after much eating and
drinking, the old man took his depar-
ture, followed by his officers. On the
way to the boat he had to pass through
public square in which a very large
fountain was playing all the time, and,
passing too near it, felt its falling
spray. He Immediately stopped, hoist.
ed his umbrella, and stood still in his
tracks, and, when his officers came up,
hailed them. ''Pretty sharp shower,
gentlemen. Heave to until it blows
over, = OF course they hove to p.
clear of the spray, where they remained
until one of them persuaded the com
modore that the shower was local. and
that if he would haul by the wind on
the port tack he would soon pun out of
it. This he did. and the umbrella came
down \ book could be written of
such stories, but this one will suffice
here.

BISHOP TELLS
WHAT OLESON SAID
A Distinguished Visitor Makes
Statement Regarding the
Temperance Address.

Before sailing for San Francisco on
the China, Bishop Edwin II. Hughes,
who spoke at the temperance meeting
Of the Young People 5 societies at Cen
trail Union church on Friday evening,
in company with DR.. William Brewster
Cleson, commented on Doctor Oleson s
address as follows:
81 was greatly surprised by some Of
the newspaper accounts and editorials
concerning Doctor Oleson 5 address. His
remarks were altogether courteous.
There was no fiourishing of news
paper, and there were no references
whatsoever to an 'insipid sheet |
myself had no idea from what paper
Doctor Oleson : quotations were TAX
en-; nor could | have told who was the
author Of the quotations. All of Doe
tor Oleson 5 remarks were calm and
temperate His replies to suggestions
made III the clipping We're both III good
taste and IN good spirit. Our friends
who argue against prohibition can
scarcely expect that their arguments
Will be UNDECIDED. If answers made to
them are all as gentlemanly and mod
crate as the comments made by Doctor
Oleson, the campaign in Hawaii will
be mild one indeed. Personally, l
was much pleased by the matter and
temper of Doctor Oleson 5 address, and
| can not see even the slightest reason
for any ones taking objection thereto.
"The meeting was characterized by
unity and enthusiasm. The people of
this city and of these Islands may
rest assured that no sorrow will be
brought to women and little children
by any words spoken at this meeting. .

In his last book, An Admiral S

his account of a difficulty he had with
the immigration authorities in Homo

pleased with the way the local men
| looked after his vessels, and he init
mates thaat there was too much Off
ciousness and red tape, The admiral
writes as follows:

I was brought to me by the officer of the
deck. He wore no uniform except a
cap, on which was a brass tag or plate
with some inscription on it. lie SAID
that he came from the commIss Oner Of
immigration, who wished him to say to
me that the immigration laws Of the
United States were III force in Homo
lulu. and that | must not permit any
Chinese servants to land without a
written permit from him. As can be
easily imagined, this fairly took my
breath away. We had come from the
East, where Chinese were employed on
board our ships as servants, without a
chance to change them, and without an
intmacion that we would have trouble
about them. In fact. at the moment
when | received this word from the
commissioner twenty-five or thirty CHI
nese stewards were actually on shore
procuring food for the thousands Of
hungry threats in the fleet. | told the
young man with the brass labeled cap
to present my compliments to the com
missioner of immigration and say to
him that every man IN the fleet was a
properly enlisted man in the navy Of
the United States, and that if he inter
fered with one of them | would put him
where the dogs wouldn't bite him!
When the youngster had gone the col
lector, who had heard his message, said
that | would probably have trouble with
the commissioner, as he was disposed to

After finishing my breakfast | wired
the secretary of the navy regarding the

the immi gration laws should be suspend

later the reply came:

of Roosevelt Policies"

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. s.
Clifford Pinchot is cleaning out
his desk today, while his frien Is
are polishing their trusty ham
mers, and the impression every
where is that the big fight is now
on.
Meanwhile, everybody at the
capitol is wondering what Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt will have 10
say, with the dismissal of Pinchot,
only two of the famous Roosevelt
"tennis cabinet" remain in office.
Lawrence o. Murray Is still comp
troller of the currency, and Her.
bert Know Smith retains his posi-
tion as commissioner of corpora
tions. After the official axe had
been whetted at six hours of cab
met meeting, the official heads of
Pinchot, Associate Forester Prise
and Assistant Law Officer Shaw
of the forestry bureau were chop-
ped off at single blow.
Pinchot's intention throughout
the controversy with Secretary
Ballinger has been that he was up

Seavey of the Thiel Detective
agency.
Ferguson's incautious state
ment to a private detective yes
terday, that "he pulled off a job
down in Mississippi which would
send him to hell If the bulls
knew it," led to his apprehension.
He has been carrying the picture
of the slain woman in his pocket
and boasted of his deed. He has
been in Tacoma about four
months, and has been armed with
a revolver, which he also display
ed, during the whole time.

DUE To
MANIA FOR
JUMPING
~

That J. II. Mcdonald, the re-
ltiged merchant, who plunged over
the East 29th street bridge to his
death early Wednesday morning
was the victim of a mania for
jumping off high places, is the
statement made today by a man
who investigated the tragedy and
|substantiated it by persons who
were well acquainted with Nc
Donald's personal eccentricity.
Mr.. Mcdonald was in a sanitar-
ium in Oregon for a time last
year. One night he jumped out
of the window and the discovery
was made by doctor at the insti-
tuition, 1t is declared, that the man
had mania for jumping off high
places.
When he was finally sent home
1t is stated that the family was
never to allow him to go
out alone and to always guard him
carefully on bridges or whenever
he should go into big building or
anywhere that presented an oppor-
Itunity for high jump.

ANNEXATION
ELECTION

The voters in the big district
taking in the territory from
Browns point to Puyallup and
from Puyallup to Steilacoom arc
today voting on annexation. All
in the past have point
ed to big victory for the Greater
Tacoma movement.
At the eleventh hour some mys-
lterious anti-annexation circulars
believed by many in the territory
affected to have emanated fro m
lthe 7. r. & p. company, were
spread over the district erecting a
lot of false men of straw to dc
molish with the evident intention
of deceiving the people and head
ing off the annexation.
Just what effect these eleventh
hour circulars will have remains
to be seen, but the advocates OF
ann exation say the people are
pretty well informed as to the IS
sues and they expect a victory.
At Spanaway the women are
serving hot lunch to the voters.
Great interest is being taken al
over the district.
The polls opened at 9 O'Clock
this morning and will remain open
until z this evening.
