Continuation Of MaDChu Rule
Considered Unlikely
be All
Action Of Powers is Taken
in q Most Friendly
Manner
(By Associated Press.)

! SHANGHAI, Dec. 19.-The prom
ise of peace in China became more
definite today with the announcement
that all six of the great powers, ia
pan, Great Britain, United States.
Russia, France and Germany, are
united in cooperative effort to as
sist DR.. WI Ting Fang and Tang
Shao vi in their negotiations.
There was rejoicing today when it
was learned representatives Of the
six powers are preparing to offer
formally their assistance for speedy
conclusion of an understanding. It
is clearly understood this action by
the powers is taken in a most friend
" manner.
Pourparlers between WI Ting
Fang and Tang Shao vi opened with
surprising smoothness. There was
complete absence of any strain
which might have seriously impeded
the diplomatic progress of the con-
ference.
1t is Enthusiastically evident. how
ever that the continuation of Manchu
rule, even as concerns the imperial
throne at Peking. is considered un-
likely by either side.
Uncle Sam is Peacemaker.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-To the
United States belongs the credit of
bringing about the concert of action
in China by the six great powers OF
the world. The Washington govern
ment Initiated the movement which
now has taken definite form at
Shanghai.
What is regarded here as the most
unusual and most satisfactory feat
ure of the situation is the fact that,
contrary to past experience, the six
powers are now practically united irf
their aims and desires regarding
Russia.
The United States has been the
agent to bring the powers into COM
mon agreement based upon the recog-
nition of the necessity of preserving
the integrity and autonomy Of China.
Whether this can be accomplished un-
der a republican or imperial form Of
government is not regarded as mate

James L. Stack, the Chicago adver-

the news that Nat. NJ. Brigham, an

says he is a distant relative of w. r.
Brigham, curator of the Bishop mu-

HOLSTEIN SAYS
Was MISQUOTED

Following his denial by wireless to
perintendent Campbell with graft In
connection with the Mahukona wharf
Speaker Holstein of the House has for
warded 10 Honolulu copies of an open
letter lac had directed to j. +. Cowan
pastor of the Kohala Union church and
editor of the Kohala Midget. lie de-
clares that the Midget misquoted him.
The letter Is as follows:
"Kohala, May 10, 1911.
MIR. J. +. Cowan of the Kohala Mid
get.
I'm your Midget of the 18th inst, In
commenting on the league meeting in
reference to the Mahukona landing,
you say that Speaker Holstein comes
down llatfootcd and declares that there
is sufficient evidence In the records of
Campbcll's own office to convict him
of taking graft In connection with the
use OF steel bars in all the reinforced
concrete work done under the Board
of Public Works. and that Mr.. Hol-
stein alleges that Mr.. Campbell insist
ed that the wharf could not be built
for less than $4,000 and that he tore
up the specifications
ALLOW me to correct your editorial,
or whatever you may call 1t, and to
say that your statement Is erroneous,
misleading and perversion OF the
facts.
I'm my address to the league | did
not accuse Mr.. Campbell, superlntend-
Ont of public works. of graft, neither
did / claim that there was sufficient
evidence to convict him of graft
II distinctly stated that to a layman
like myself. who did not understand
the difference In the two bars for re-
inforccd work, that the steel bars for
which II is claimed about $4,000 was
needed. would look as II there was
graft, when compared with steel rails,
for which about $500 was said to be
ample.
10 charge public man with graft
when you have not the slightest foun-
dation for such In my statement to the
league Is absurd; and then, again, | did
not say that Campbell insisted that the
wharf could not be built for less than
$4,000 and that he tore up the specili-
cations. What ! stated was that under
the draft of specifications then drawn
and shown me. Campbell said II would
take about $4,000 to build such u
wharf.
Everyone present. at the league
meeting regrets that you have taken
the liberty of writing mp such an ar
ticle as contained in the Midget, be-
cause you not only do me an injustice.

Works Department and perhaps re-
dound against the early completion of
the Mahukona landing.
My charges against Mr.. Campbell
were for thwarting the early construc-
ton of the wharf and for promises
made and the embarrassment felt
whenever | spoke to him as to when
he was to go ahead with the work.

In the sunny land of France, under

father Of his people, a man who tried
10 kill him because he was but a
heartless and wicked father was
treated as a parricide and torn to
pieces alive in the streets Of Paris,

from him one by one, SO slowly that
he lived till sunset.
IN Merry England the forger was
put to Death. The utterer OF a bad
note was put to Death. The unlawful
opener Of a letter was put to Death.
The thief who stole forty shillings and
six pence was put to Death. h
holder of a horse who ran away with
it was put to Death. The coiner Of
a bad shilling was put to Death.
And while all this cheerful putting
to Death by the law, and putting to
Death by hunger, n putting to
Death by misery was going on so gal

France tina were destined TO be saw

SUCCESS
And the Reason Given by
Company, Now Opening

A few years. ago several young men
young in yearg-;but old in ex-
Derience, came to the realization
that times had changed; that to go
along in the old way. with the same
old wasteful methods, meant ruin.
In setting about to change things.
the first move made was to recognize
this unaIterable fact. that we do
business with our friends and that
our enemies do not trade with us.
Therefore, as men OF honor 1t be-
nooves us TO keep faith in every
transaction, so they adopted what
they termed the Iron clad guar
antee,'' which is contract between
them and their customers. The peo-
pie of ClarkgDurg and vicinity Will
