Dillingham;, a member of the executive
committee, and Ralph Hosmer, the
clubs secretary, accompanied by the
reporters, went out in the customs
launch to meet the Siberia, and after
bobbing round for something over an
hour, while the quarantine formalities
were complied with, the party climbed
aboard and welcomed DIR. Eliot to Ha
wall.
On the Alakea wharf as the liner
drew in, a knot of Harvard graduates
gave the Harvard cheer, with a three
times three tiger for President Eliot.
1t was a royal welcome, and the doc
tor, as he waved his hat In acknowl-
edgment, was deeply touched.
The party was placed in autos and
taken to the Moana Hotel, where ac
commodations have been engaged.
There is a possibility that a trip to the
Pail will be made this afternoon, but
it is more likely that no excursion
will be scheduled, in order that the

Life Story of Man Who Is Wis.,
ting Honolulu on Peace
Mission

Honolulu today is welcoming DR..
Charles William Eliot, who has been
called Americas foremost citizen. :
As an educator, a thinker, philoso-
pher; as a doer. man of action guild
&c by lofty ideals, he is entitled to
that name.
He was born at Boston on March
20, 1884, and is thus more than seven
ty-eight years of age. He was fitted
for college at Boston Latin school,
and took an A. B. degree from Hsr-
ward in 1853, and masters degree
four years later. His doctorate of law
was given by Williams and Princeton
in 1869, by Yale in 1870, Johns Hop
kins 1902, and by other institutions.
and he received Phi. ID. degree in
Breslau, Germany, in 1911. He has
been married twice, his first wife dy-
ing in 1869. He married again in 1877.
He has one son, Samuel Atkins Eliot.
His career as an educator has been
a long and notable one. Most Of II
has been spent at Harvard, though
for four years he was professor of
analyt1caNScnemlSIry at MdSSdCnuSelIS
Institute of Technology.
His great success as IN educator
and writer has led to his receiving
many high honors at home and
abroad.
OF him it is said that no leader Of
American thought without political
authority has ever possessed the in
fiuence which he has quietly exercised
in America during the last ten or fif-
teen years. A German publicist has
said that when President Eliot speaks,
Amearica speaks. His .numberless
magazine articles, addresses and
books, uniformly sane, authoritive ard
convincing, cover practically every
side of American public life and
American social and political ques-
tions.
Elected President of Harvard Col
lege in 1869 at the age of 35. he early
showed his remarkable administrative
ability. BY his organization of the

not enly Of Harvard, but also Of the
other American colleges, which have
one by one followed the example He
developed the elective system at Har-
ward, and provided in this way the
solution OF the problem that was vex-
ing the American universities. In 1880
he was chairman of the Committee of
Ten, which elaborated plans of reform
and organization for American schools
of all grades and types. 1t would be
hard to say how many of the ideas
of American education and school and
university administration owe their
origin. either directly or indirectly to
President Eliot.
OF late years, President Eliot has
come into prominence as a public
speaker, and has taken an active part
in national affairs. He has performed
notable service by his warm advocacy
of international arbitration and of the
principle of the short ballot and COM
mission government, and has devoted
his energies to the solution of the vex-
ing problems of the relation between
capital and labor and the negro ques-
ton in the South He was member
OF the Committee of Fifty which In
vestigated the liquor problem and
published a comprehensive report on
the whole subject. As a further ex-
ample of his wide range of interest
and influence may be cited his adj
dresses and articles on employers la
bility; congestion of population; city
planning; conservation; the use O.
great wealth; Iawlessness ard so
forth. A recent address on "The Re-
ligion of the Future created a stir in
religious circles.
Many honors have been bestowed
Upon him both at home and abroad.
He has been President of the National
Education Association, of the Conser-
vation Society. He was offered the

ing Sun in 1909.
His published books include two no

MISS MAGOON IS
NOT FRIGHTENED
Captain of Korea Said to Have
Failed to Stop Merry
Dance

One of those jolly little stories OF
life on the ocean wave that come back
to Honolulu via the San Francisco pa
pers appears on the first page of the
Chronicle OF July 10. together with a
two-column photograph of Miss En-
incline Magoon. Says the paper:
The tradition that a sea captain Is
the king of his ship and the monarch
of all he surveys was sadly wrecked
on the shoals of feminine scorn during
the homeward abound voyage of the Pa
cific Mailer Korea. which arrived yes
terday morning from the Far East
How Captain Nelson put the ban on
Tagging" or tried to do so. was the
story related by the Korea's passen-
gers, who pointed to Miss Emmeline
Magoon, pretty Honolulu girl, as the
bold young person who defied the order
against the captivating rag.
The voyage Of the Korea was marked
by many brilliant social functions and
informal dances. The fancy dress ball
was conducted with.all the elegance
and dignity which feature such auspi-
cious events. The dances, however,
were observation-disclosures to the exent
that the fair ladies and their gallants
could not resist the catching strains
of the Texas Tommy and the Grizzly
Bear" o. evenings when the deck piano
worked overtime.
Whether it was the few staid globe
trotters on board who objected to the
Raging" or whether Captain Nelson
acted on his own initiative, was not ex-
planned. In any event, there was a
polite little chit. purporting to come
from the bridge, and addressed to the
rag dancers in general, suggesting that
the old-time waltz and two-step be adj
hered to in the merrymaking.
According to the passengers it hap
pened that the captains Chinese. boy
presented the censuring epistle to Miss
Magoon.

evidently been coached, without mucn
seeming understanding. Great things
are expected of the crown prince, and
in the event of the emperor's death,
the development of his, policies will be
watched and waitedlIfor."
Conditions in Chinas
Speaking of China, DR.. Eliot said that
conditions in the newest republic were
such that for some tine it would cut
little figure as menace to any nation
but itself.
THE Manchu dynasty didn't leave the
republic anything" said DR.. Eliot.
China is lgetting nmore orderly, but
there is no strength and no money. The
present administration is trying to get
rid of the revolutionary soldiers, who
are more or less turbulent, and more
stability is hoped for in the near flu
ture.''
Although nearing the ripe age of
four score years, the great Harvard ed
ucator is alert in mind and body, and
seems ready for any problem or any
physical test that he might meet in
connection with the great work which
he has taken up since retiring from
active service at Cambridge. trifie
thinner than of old, DR.. Eliot still car
ries with him the keen eye and clear
perception that made him respected and
loved by every man that graduated
from Harvard during his long term as
head of the institution.
On the present trip he is accompa-
MED by Mrs. Eliot and his granddaugh-
ter, Miss Ruth Eliot, whose illness de-
layed the party for some time in Cey-
lon. Miss Eliot is now completely re-
covered, and this morning expressed
herself as having enjoyed every mo-
ment of the trip. DR.. Eliot's secre-.
tary, Roger Pierce, Harvard 'O4, is the
fourth member of the party.
Interested in Hawaii.
The doctor had no sooner come with
in touch of land than he began to in
'terest himself in Hawaii and her prob
lens. He turned the tables on the
newspaper men by asking many ques-
tions as to the labor problem here and
the methods which were being employ
ed by the planters to keep up the sup
ply and bring good class of workers
to the Islands.
Il should think that you would have
the same trouble here that is found in
Bermuda and other points on the East
coast with the Portuguese and Span
ish immigrants" he said. over there
they work long enough to secure a
small piece of land and then they will
work for themselves only
He expressed himself as much inter-
ested in the social problems of Ha-
waii, and said that he hoped to under
stand more about them before he sailed
for home. This is the first time since
he left New York eight months ago
that Dr. Eliot has set foot on American
SOIL. and while anxious to see as much
of Hawaii as possible. he is still more
anxious to complete his circuit and be
home once more. For this reason he
will sail on the China next week, as
scheduled, although he re-
grets being compelled to miss seeing
the volcano. 1t is his first trip to Ha- |
wall.

Charleston, w, Va. Sept. 5.-Three thousand miners of that part of the Kanawha coal district. which is not under martial law, are coming to the state house at Charleston, tomorrow. to make a demonstration against the guard system in behalf of the men who are striking. They will march through the streets of Charleston, led by Mother Jones.

 Governor Glascock will be urged to come out and argue the question. Mother" Jones will make a direct appeal to Glasscock.

Convention Hall, Syracuse. N Y., Sept. 5-The Progressive party in the State of New York was launched to- day in a State convention that in many respects took on the appearance of a religious review.

 There were fewer spectators than had been expected and the ofnc1als zascribed this fact to the rule which limited admission to the hall only to persons holding tickets Hotchk1ss finally ordered the men at the doors to admit all corners, but the seats re- served for the spectators were mostly empty.
 Ali that was done at the opening -=essfon was to listen to the temper rary chairman'S address. The make up of the State ticket was still very much in doubt, but it was generally ibelieved that former State Superin- rendent of Insurance Hotchldss would
