TO LEWIS
ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED MINE WORKERS.
Annual Convention Opens in In
dianapolis- Bituminous Miners
Want Increase in Wages.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. January 1s-The
Workers of North America opened at
Tomlinson Hall in this city today.
The anthracite miners of Pennsylvania
are sparsely represented in the conven-
ton. because they have no wage scale to
negotiate with the mine owners at this
time. but the bituminous miners have a
demand for an increase in wages that
may be set at any point between 10 and
20 per cent.
1t was expected that when all the dele
gates arrived the body would number
1, 400. the largest convention the national
miners union ever had assembled. The
preliminary organization of the conven-
ton. including the report of the creden-
tials committee. was expected to occupy
the day.
Coming Conference at Toledo.
1t is improbable that the convention
will continue longer than eleven days be-
cause a joint conference between the
miners representatives and the operators
of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. to
consider the new wage contract, is sched-
uled for February l at Toledo The
miners and the operators organizations
of the other states will hold individual
conferences.
The disaster at Cherry, ILL.,, has given
new impetus to the movement for federal
regulation Of the operation Of mines. and
this matter will be only second in i'm
portance to the question of wages In the
convention. President Lewis will press
his campaign for the institution of a
government bureau of mines and mining
1t is his assertion that mining is the
worlds greatest industry and its most
hazardous. least protected and poorest re-
warded one.
Election of Lewis Conceded.
1t is generally conceded that the report
of the tellers of the recent balloting for
officers will show the reelection of MIR.
Lewis as president over William Green
of Ohio.
The socialists steadily have sgained
ground in the organization. and are ex-
pected to be active in the convention.
This faction. led by John Walker Of IL
linois, is bitterly opposed to the conserva
tive policy of President Lewis and his
supporters. The contest between the two
elements brought about scenes on the
convention floor last year denounced by
some of the older leaders as disgrace
fully riotous."

CAMPAIGN
AGAINST MOSQUITOES

President Mott Smith of the board of
health is in the throes of planning the
proposed campaign against the mosquf-
toes. Yesterday afternoon he was en-
gagged in laying the city off into dis.
tricts, each of which will be put in
charge of one man whose business it
will be to exterminate the pests within
the limits of that district.
After the meeting of the board of
health last Thursday Mr. Mott -Smith h
held conference with the special COM
mittee of the shippers wharf commit
tee and outlined his plans as far as he
had then worked them out. They were
satisfactory to the committee and the
president of the board is now going
ahead getting everything in readiness
for the actual work of killing off the
skeets.

They put into Waianae expecting that
the canoes had returned, but there was
no news there of their missing com.
rades.
A search party was organized right
away and several boats and canoes
started out to find the missing men.
But they all returned without result.
Each of the three men in the canoes
was an expert swimmer and under ordi-
nary conditions could easily have swum
three or four miles to land, if the
canoes had started to leak and swamp
ed, but inquiry along the coast yes
terday resulted in no news of the miss.
ing men.
Several theories have been advanced
by kamaainas of the coast, but the one
most in favor is that the canoes bump
ed together so hard in the swell, in
spite of the lashings, that both of them
opened up and swamped. Then, when
the three started to swim to shore, they
were either overwhelmed by breakers
or attacked by sharks.
Poepoe, one of the missing men, is
well-known character is Hawaii. He
has fshed off Lahaina for years and
is looked on as the postmaster expert
in canoing and fishing. There is still
a possibility that the men have landed
at some uninhabited spot, but no news
of it has come to hand as yet and it is
possible that their disappearance will
remain one of those unsolved mysteries
that arise everywhere where men go
fishing in small boats.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1910-02-01

Three of the finest fishermen on the
Islands, so far as can be learned up to
the time of going to press, have lost
their lives in comparatively smooth
water, somewhere between Waianae
and Barber's Point.
Late on Thursday night, just before
midnight, to be more exact, five Ha-
waiians left Waianae for Honolulu.
Two of them were in whale boat,
rowing and three of them were in
locked canoes. Two outrigger canoes
were lashed together, making a practi-
cally uncapsizable catamaran and Poe
poe, a wellknown expert fisherman of
Lahaina, Ioana and Moke, the two best
of Mayor FERNS fish company experts,
started to paddle the two canoes round
the end of the Island and into Honolulu
harbor.
In the whale boat were Kalua and
n man whose nickname is Opunui, a
cousin of Joe Fern. The latter rowed
along peacefully enough until they got
off Barber's point just before sunrise
yesterday morning.
As the sun doomed up over the noun
tains they began to look round for the
canoes. They were nowhere in sight.
Padding is slower than rowing over
long distance and so the men in the
whale boat thought that they would
wait awhile.
They waited for nearly an hour and
still saw no signs of their friends So
they put back for Waianae. They kept

BABY DEAD;

(FrOm Saturdays Advertiser,

Booze of the Sunrise saloon variety
may have to account for the death of
a newly-born baby. The baby is still
living but is in n precarious condition
owing to its having had no attention
since its birth.
Yesterday morning the wife of Tom
Gussman, laborer of Spanish birth
who lives on the Asylum road, gave
birth 10 twins. One OF the babies was
still born but the other was husky
enough. The husband assisted his wife
AS best he could and then started out
to notify the board Of health of the
death and birth.

Await Fate of the Ship
Subsidy Bill.
iOv. FREAR AND ROBERTSON
News of Hawaiian Colony at the
CapitoI-ISland Well
Represented.
BY Ernest C. Walker.

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, January 13.-The
Delegate and Princess Kuhio have ar
rived in Washington for the session and
are quartered at the Arlington Hotel
Accompanying them were ex-Queer
Liliuokalani, Col. Sam Parker, his son
and his daughter, Mrs. Woods. Th'
Queen and the Parker family plan tC
remain in Washington for some time
Thus far the Queen has taken no action
with reference to her claim, although
it is well understood that she contem-
plates bringing suit before the court
of claims in this city.
The Delegate has resumed his work
at the Capitol, which has chiefly been
the arrangement of further hearings
before the senate and house committees
having to do with the enactment of the
organic law amendments. Congress is
drifting along just now, and it is not
easy to interest the committees in legis-
lation, but there are good prospects
that the house will take up the organic
law amendments after the rush with
appropriation bills has passed.
Suspension Must Wait.
The Delegate and Mr.. Mcclellan have
decided not to press coastwise suspen'
sion, just at present, till it develops
what will come of the ship subsidy
bill, now before the house committee
on merchant marine. Hearings on that
bill have already begun. The fate of
it is still uncertain, but if it should
pass-whether it would materially help
the Hawaiian situation or MOTT would
be exceedingly difficult to obtain any
enactment suspending the provisions of
the coastwise shipping laws.
The Delegate had talk with Attor-
ney-General Wickersham about the
Hawaiian judgeships. Mr. Wickersham
told him, as has been cabled to The
Advertiser, that it was practically
decided A. G. NJ. Robertson would be
nominated for the second federal Judge.
ship, that De Bolt would be named for
the supreme bench, and Judge w. j.
Robinson would be renominated.
Square Denial.
The attorney.general squarely denied
the reports that Governor Frear had
discouraged the selection of Robertson
for Judge. Assertions have been flying
thick and fast that the Governor en-
phasized to the attorney-ge general objec-
tions which had been raised heretofore
TO Mr.. Robertson and suggested the
wisdom of selecting some other. man
although stating that in legal quallt
cations Mr.. Robertson was worthy OF
Il place upon the bench. The attorney
general, however, says that the Gov
ernor not only formally endorsed Mr.
Robertson, but stated in conversation
that Robertson had the confidence OF
the community and would be entirely
acceptable. The reports to the con.
trary have possibly been encouraged
by some of the Governor S enemies.
There was a rehearing Tuesday be
fore the board of army engineers of the
Kahului harbor project. The Delegate
Mr. Mcclellan, W. G. Cooke, and Cap
tain Sweetser, the last two of New
York, appeared TO urge that ther,
be no such delay as the former plans
of sending the papers back to Honolulu
would entail

FINAL FIGURES ON

LONDON, January 2s.-The final fig

Liberals, 262; Nationalists, n; La.

With combination of the Liberals
and the Nationalists there is a safe
majority for the Budget, with Laborite
support. The combination is based
upon an agreement to give Ireland local
Home Rule, and thus the elections
promise to bring about two almost revo.
lutionary measures in Great Britain.

REFUGEES MANY
Flood Conditions
Change for
Better

PARIS, January 29.-Condi-
lions grow hourly worse through
out this city, although the Seine
has ceased to rise and it is re-
ported that the swollen tributa-
ries are falling. Yesterday was
one of terror, while to add to the
scene of confusion, refugees
from the surrounding country
began to crowd into the upper
sections OF the city, demanding
food and shelter.
The floods reached the heart of the.
city yesterday and the devastation of
property was terrible. To such a height
rose the water that the Palace of the
Louvre had to be abandoned, with
many of the art treasures left for
destruction by the elements
The Champs Elysees is covered with
water and the destruction along this
magnificent boulevard, with its cafes,
gardens, theaters, statuary and palaces
is enormous.
The famous Luxembourg Gardens,
high on the left bank of the Seine,
have been reached by the flood and far
and wide, throughout the QUARTER
Latin, the QUARTER Germain, the
Champ de Mars district and the west
ern boulevards, destruction ragged all
day yesterday.
Refugees Flocking In.
Refugees by the thousands have been
fiocking into the city many walking in
from districts where railway traffic
has been blocked on account of the
floods. By last night thirty-six thou
sand, homeless and without food, had
forced themselves upon the attention of
the already distracted authorities.
Along he upper valley of the Seine,
the valley of the French Rhine, the
Ardoche and the Gard, the flood dam
| age has been immense, the 0verfiowing
rivers sweeping away houses and in
places entire villages. Crops all along
the rivers and their tributaries have
been destroyed and all industries have
| come to stop, throwing thousands out
| of employment.
Bridges Closed to Traffic.
Twelve of the twenty.six main bridges
across the Seine within the city limits
have been closed to traffic, being so un-
dermined and damaged by the floods as
to be unsafe, while others are submerg-
ed and impossible of crossing. This
adds to the confusion, making commu-
nication between the various districts
of the city most difficult.
Refuse to Estimate.
| The government officials, harried
with the work of the past few days,
refuse to issue any estimate of the
number who have lost their lives with
in the city as result of the floods.
| Red Cross Issues Appeal.
| WASHINGTON, January 29.-The
Red Cross Society has issued an appeal
for funds for the relief of the flood
sufferers throughout East and Central
| France and Paris.
