CLERKS MAY MEET
TO TALK PENSIONS
Plan to Carry Fight Into
COngressmen's Homes.

The fight of the government clerks for
pensions and better treatment will be
carried right home to the constituents of
the members of Congress, if the plans
of Fulton R. Gordon, a Washington busi-
ness man, materialize.
Mr.. Gordon said he would shortly call
a meeting at his house of the clerks and
that plans would be laid for stirring up
a general interest in the needs of the
clerks. A feature Will be the call for
10000 volunteers to write letters to vot-
ers. asking them to appeal to their Sen
ators and Representatives in behalf of
the clerks. This will not be in the nature
of an endless chain, which is prohibited
by the Post-office Department, but will
be in every case a direct appeal to the
individual voter
Mr.. Gordon also said that there would
be nothing in the way OF attempting to
form a union OF the clerks that might
paralyze the government, as was the
case few months ago in the great strike
of employees of the French government
A serious blow was given the union move
ment in the public service when Mr..
Roosevelt was President, and Mr.. Gordon
has no intention of repeating that eX-
perience
Mr.. Gordon called at the White House
Yesterday afternoon to ask Mr.. Taft TO
rescind the order OF Mr.. Roosevelt aimed
against government people either indi-
viduaIly or collectively memoralizing
Congress in favor of their own demands
Mr.. Taft took the matter under ad-
yiSement.

The Washington Herald in Japan.

When the Hon. Yukio Ozaki. lord
mayor of Tokyo. and his wife passed
through America recently. on their
around -the-world tour. Mayor Ozaki de
cided on an American reminder. So he
commissioned a press clipping bureau in
New York to gather all that was pub
lished in the newspapers concerning his
American visit. directing that the ma
terial be mounted on leaves and be bound
in one volume. The work. which has
been completed. will be placed in the
Imperial Library of Japan. 1t makes
volume one foot thick. The labor OF
gathering the material necessitated the
reading of all papers in America and
resulted in $40 separate items from diff
ferent publications, a prominent position
being given to The Washington Herald.

The Districts opportunity for legiSla-
ton yesterday was. lost President Taft
himself took hand m clearing the deck
in the House for the consideration of
the reciprocity bill. The appeal made by
The Washington Herald and the an
nourcement that Representative Olcott,
acting chairman of the District Com
mittee, would make a protest. evidently
stirred the President for he sent for Mr..
Olcott before the session began and sug-
gested indulgence for the reciprocity
measure Mr.. Olcott, however, remained
firm.
After describing to the President the
ruthless way the efforts OF the District
Committee had been treated in the House
all this session, and pointing out with
all politeDess that he could not do other
wise than stand by the District in the
extremity, the New York Representative
returned to the House in time to make
a point of order against the proposal of
Representative Mccall that the reciproc-
ity measure should be given the right of
way. Although Representative Gaines.
himself violently opposed to the passage
of the Canadian bill, aided Mr.. Olcott
in his fight by demanding his recogni-
llOn, Ine speaker ONSTTultO I0e
of order. The House supported him in
an aye and no vote of 196 to III The
reciprocity bill was then given the right
of way.
District LegisIRtion Dead.
, It was pointed out yesterday that there
cannot possibly be another District day
at this session, for the reason that the
next date for one falls within the sus-
pension period of the last week of the
session, when miscellaneous bills can
only be passed on a two-thirds vote.
What little opportunity there exists for
the passage of the thirty or more Dis
trict measures on the House calendar,
therefore, can only be taken advantage
of through promiscuous efforts made
through unanimous consent and suspen-
sion of the rules. Representative Olcott,
who Is the acting chairman of the Dis
trict Committee during the illness of
Smith, said yesterday,
that he would at least endeavor to have
the teachers retirement fund bin taken

THE PUNCHBOWL
CONTROVERSY

The feeling between the Portuguese
residents of Punchbowl district and the
kapiolani Estate is evidently becoming
quite acute over the matter of the
proposed surrender of the lease held on
the property from the Territory, and
which has about another year to run.
Various members of the community
who have preference rights under the
organic act to the purchase of their
homes from the government at the ex-
pnration of the Kapiolani Estate lease.
claim that the Estate is practising a
gouge game on all who are unfortunate
enough to have their leases expire be-
fore the expiration of the general lease.
In order to renew these small leases
the holders are being charged a bonus
of from $40 to SIS for the privilege,
without which the persons who have
lived on the property for many years,
may lose their claims to preference
rights.
Some of the residents have already
paid the bonus demanded but it is re-
ported that others, on advice of the
Government, have refused to pay. They
will probably be ousted by the Estate,
but expect to be protected in their
claims when the land is apportioned
finally.
The Kapiolani Estate has declined
to deal with individuals for the release
of the remaining period of the govern
ment lease in order that the holders
of preference rights may the sooner
get their property under a clear title
but on the contrary demands that the
Territory treat with it for the can
collation. of the entire lease, and tn,
payemtn to the Estate of a lump sun
for the relinquishing of it's claims.

Sousa organized the band that

and since then he and his men have
travelled about 100000 miles. Sousa
estimates that he has given between
5000 and 5000 concerts, and when
he reaches Vancouver, in the latter
part of September, he will begin the
last lap of the longest tour he has
ever undertaken. This tour, which
began in New York last August, has
taken Sousa and his band around the
world, and they visited South Africa,
Australia, New Zealand and Honolulu,
in addition to being heard once more
in Great Britain and Ireland. The
band will be heard here on Tuesday,

before their return to New York.

THE SETTLERS To
Be THE COATS

Governor Frear holds up the Maui
homesteading row as as object lesson
to the Territory, of how homesteading
should not be done.
The Stars report yesterday of the
feud conditions existing between the
"homesteaders' of the Waiohuli-Keo-
kea lots, near Kihei, Maui, and the
Cornwell Estate, which holds the land
under an old lease until the first of
next November, has aroused much
interest. The Cornwell ranch people
evidently resent the claims of the
alleged homesteaders, on the grounds
that the land is utterly unsuited TO
the purpose of homemaking, and that
the wOuld-be settlers forced the open
ing of the land for the sole purI ose
of getting what firewood the heavy
hawe forest covering the land will
supply. Apparently, therefore, the
ranch has decided to make what it
can off of the land before its lease
expires, and so has put a large force
of men at work cutting the frewood
itself. 1t is even said to be cutting
and burning the smaller growth-as
one man put it, clearing up the land
for the poor settlers" And the poor
settlers are roaring vigorously. Evil
IDENTIFY they prefer to clear their own
land.
The Governor stated yesterday that
ne had had very little to do with the
matter personally
"The case illustrates the need Of
great care in opening lands for home
stead purposes" said he. Ever!
piece of land should be studied yer!
carefully with reference to the siz
of the lots, the terms upon whicl
they should be offered, and the pee
pie who desire them. Scarcely an
tso tracts can be treated in precisel
the same way. In other words, 4
that matter, as in all other matters
the scientific method-the method O
investigation and then being guide,
according to the facts found--is tn
only proper one.
1T is necessary to go into the Who'll,
thing and study the situation-consid
err what the land is, what the area,
should be, what the price should b
and under what forms of homestead
ing the lots should be allowed to be
taken up. You cannot simply say t.
a surveyor, All right, you go ahead
and cut that land up into homestead
I lots. You have got to consider that
no two tracts are alike.
Successful Not Nominal Homestead
ing.
Hitherto very little attention has
been paid to these things The land,
have simply been given out. Now We
do not care so much about giving ON
the landslide question is not how
can we get lands disposed of under
| homestead forms, but how can We
| successfully homestead the lands tina
are disposed of. In other words, it i.
successful demonstrating, not nomina
homesteading, that we are after"
