Issues Proclamation to
the People Of
America.
SUFFERING IS GREAT
Money to Be Handled
by ConsuIs on the
Ground.

WASHINGTON, February le.-Pres.
ident Taft yesterday issued proclama-
tion asking that subscription lists be
opened throughout the country to so
cure funds to aid the sufferers in the
famine stricken provinces of Kiangsu
aud Anhwei in China. 1t is proposed
that the money collected in response
to the appeal from the President should
be distributed through the consular rep.
resentatiyes in touch with the sufferers.
The Red Cross Society, of which
President Taft is the head, has already
contributed toward the relief fund and
the money has been cabled to Shanghai.
Reports from the American represenV-
tatives at Shanghai and from the
American missionaries in the field tell
of the great extent of the famine and
the horrible suffering of the millions
of victims.

GEIsHA GIRLS WILL
APPEAR AT TER ALL

The Kirmess is to have the Japanese
dance after all, thanks to the good will
of the Japanese community that recog-
nizes that the big fete is for the benefit
of all. Yesterday morning it looked
more than doubtful as to whether the
dancing girls would consent to appear
or not. They, and all the rest of the
Japanese with them, felt that they had
been grieyously insulted and they had
announced that they would not take
part in the Kirmess.
But assistant stage manager VIII
Douthitt was able to announce last
night that the girls had been prevailed
upon to change their minds and that
they win dance at the Kirmess. Much
persuasion was necessary to bring about
this result and the Kirmess manage
ment is greatly gratified at the dancers
having finally consented to appear.
The chief argument that brought
about the gratifying result was that the
Kirmess is for the benefit Of Palama
Settlement and that nearly all other
races represented in Hawaii are taking
part. The Japanese recognized that
their absence under such circumstances
would be severely felt and they want
to do whatever they can 70 insure the
success Of the affair.

RUBBER TREES ARE
FOUND IN MEXICO
Forest Located by Michigan Men
Produces Sap Of a Re-
markabIe Quality.

MEXICO, February 3.-After a
search Of eighteen months Professor
John r. Allen of the University of
Michigan and two assistants have To-
Gated in the interior Of Mexico a forest
Of rubber trees, the product Of which
is of remarkable quality. The first in
timation of the forest 5 existence came
when a traveller reported that native
Indian children gathered a gum which,
when squeezed into spherical shape, had
the appearance and much of the
residence Of a rubber ball.
After locating the trees and defining
the boundaries Of the forest the party
obtained concessions from the govern
ment for 100000 acres OF land timbered
with the trees and promise of more
land. London dealers are said to have
offered to buy all the gum these pros.
peetors can put on the market for
seventy-fve cents a pound. When the
Hartman lines are completed into
Mexico they win run within sixty miles
of this tract of land, and the cost Of
transporting the product 10 New York
will be considerably less.
The gum comes from tree that has
never been classified bOtanically nor
exploited commercially The tree be-
longs to the nettle family, having the
appearance OF a horse chestnut tree.
The leaves and the fruit eannot DO

This was the announcement made
yesterday in the inner circle of local

his confidence. Wilder will most prob

although it is also probable that the
endorsement on the part Of some of

declaration that their favoring vote
viii not mean any retraction Of the
position they have taken that the OF.
fee of road supervisor should be abol.
ished and the city engineer PLACED in
charge Of roadwork throughout the
Island.
The naming of Wilder in connection
with the position which has been Q
, bone of contention for weeks will come
as a surprise to most. The new mar
is kamaain@ so far as residence il
concerned, having been born in the
city, but he lhas never figured in any
of the political discussions around the

ed that he knows the difference be
tween a precinct primary and the grant
