Of the terms used frequently last night
by the Chinese speakers at Aala Park
at the mass meeting directed against

about $500 Chinese present from all
over the outside districts of Honolulu.
The merchants the rice and taro plan
tcrs the fishermen, the peddlers. the
school teachers. the preachers and all
kinds Of professional men were pres
cnt.
Enthusiastic cries for the removal
Of Chinese Consul LANG Kwo Yang,
were frequent. The crowd shouted
'lapuwale" which means good for
nothing" and attacked the Consul in
numerous ways Some of the crowd
called out to sweep the Consul out
of existence" while others used
stronger language toward him.
Wong Leon. rice planter, and one
Of the Oldest kamaanas of the islands
presided. The first speaker was Gnu
Gem president Of the United Chinese
Society. His speech was strong and
sound and he was frequently inter
rupted by applause and cheers from
the audience
Among other things he said that
it was about time for the Hawaii
Chinese to have the Consul removed.
The speaker said that the census
enumeration work, commenced by the
Consul was suspicious.
Chong Park, the second speaker,
told the audience some of the things
which the Consul reported to the Chi
nesc government, and which were
subsequently, published in the Chi
nesc newspapers there. He asked the
asking the home government to re-
move him from the consul Office here
in Honolulu
Young You Guam, the third speak
er told the audience of the action
of the Consul in taxing the Chi
nese for $1.25 each to help pay the ex-
penses of carrying on the census
work of the government was entirely
unwarrantcd
why it is ridiculous for the Con-
sui to ask us to-"dig up that amount
whom we know very well it is the duty
of the government to pay the eX-
penses for such governmental work.
'Iook at us here in Hawaii" he
continued. the census enumeration
by the Federal Government. which
was taken here some time ago did
not cost us one cent. 1t is rotten for
the Consul to demand us to pay that
amount
After Goo Kim Fook, manager of
Kong Sing Yuon had finished talking
c. * Al. manager Of the City Mill,
one of the progressive merchants in
town took d "whaCk' at the Consul.
He is an accomplished linguish as
evidenced last night by the way he adj
dressed the meeting. During the con-
tinuatiOn of his forceful speech, he
called the Consul "lapuwale " a Ha-
Waiian word which means good for
nothing in English. He emphasized
the accent of the word so that the
Chinese taro and rice planters, who
dwell among the Hawaiians. but were
present at the meeting last night sig
nified their approval, by shouting zoe
pololei,' which means you are right.
Chong Chock Fa, the next speaker
said "The Consul is so rotten that it
is poisonous for the people to live
with him. The Consul's duty is to
protect our interest here" he shout
ed; but he is protecting himself by
forcing us to pay him $1.25 each for
his own use
The other speakers dwet upon the
same subject. The meeting ended at
about $3.50 o'clock.
Sheriff Jarrett. District Attorney
Brcckons and Chief of Detectives Nc
Dufiie were among the interested
spectators in the crowd The band
stand was decorated with the Ameri-
can and Chinese flags In front of the
stand was a large sign, written in
Chinese, which read Grand Mass
