After these, and q dozen or 80 other
queries are put to the servant the in
quirer usually hangs up the telephone
receiver in disgust. Still, day after
day that same thing occurs, not in one
household but in many. Neither are
they infrequent in business houses.
One large concern in Honolulu lost
F. the trade of a firm of even greater
prominence because the Oriental who
answered the telephone could not
take an order correctly. Likewise, in
the home 1t is next to impossible to Sc
cure a servant with education who
speaks enough English to answer a
phone and give an understandable re-
ply. The reason is that the majority
OF servants are Japanese. Some who
claim to be cooks are in reality yard
boys who have had no opportunity to
attend school.
A few of the housewives are rebel
. ling against these conditions and are
following the example of the women
OF fifteen years past In those days
most OF the housemaids we're young
Hawaiian girls who were educated at
the convent or at Kamehameha school.
These girls demand no more salary
than do the Oriental men and women
and yet as servants they are said to
be far superior. Being able to speak
English they are capable of learning
almost anything. At the present time
there are number of young Chinese
girls who are seeking, and in some
instances finding employment, in the
kitchen. These girls are surprisingly
good servants. They seem to be
stronger than the Japanese and are
better workers.
In some of the business houses
where orientals are employed. there
seems but one feasible excuse they
are not willing to pay enough to sup
port q white man or even an educat-
ed Chinese. The Hawaiian-born Chi
nese who has received high-school
education Is competent to hold a re-
sponsible office position, but, like the
white man, he wants to be well paid.
for when he marries he treats his wife
as do his associates in America. His
ideals seem to be higher, and as a
rule he has ambition. The buyers
usually know where intelligent office

New York, Nov. 10.-The trial of .he four gangsters accused of murdering Gambler Herman Rosenthal, at the in stiSation of Charles Becker, the con- victed ex-lieutenant of police, will be resumed tomorrow with five Jurors in the box. Both Justice Golf and Dis trict Attorney Whitman are hopeful that the jury will be completed before nightfal.
 "Bald Jack Rose, "Bridgie" Web Der, Harry Vallon and Sam Schepps, four of the states chief witnesses, will be on hand when the taking of testi- mony begins. It will be their first re- moval from the West Side court prison since the trial of Becker. MT Whit man visited the witnesses today and re- ported they are in good physical con- dition with the exception of Schepps, who is slightly i'll.
 Denial of a report that the four ac- cused gangsters would plead guilty to murder in the second degree in order to escape the electric chair is contain ed in the latest statement given out by the four "Dago Frank" Qrofici, speak ing for himself and his companions. "Gyp the Blood" Lefty Louie" and ''Whitey Lewis.'' said:

AMBASSADOR BRYCE TO LEAVE WASHINGTON.
Has Rendered His Resignation and
 Will Return to England.

Washington, Nov. 10-James Byrce, the British ambassador to the United States, has rendered his resignation and will return to England. There has been no official announcement of the resignation and the embassy will make no statement, but it was learned to- night on high authority that MT Bryce informed President Taft of his action at the White House yesterday.
 While the news that Ambassador Bryce is to retire will be received with deep regret in official circles, and by the country generally, it Is not wholly unexpected. There has been no break in the harmonious relations of the dis tinguished Englishman and his gov ernment, but it has been an open se- cret for some time that MT. Bryce, ad- vancing in years, desired to surrender his post and give entire attention to the completion Of the literary work which has occupied so large a part of his life. His book on South America, written since his tour of that country two years ago, is Just off the press, and he is about to begin work cov- ering his recent tour of Australia and New Zealand.
 Facing the British ambassador to the United States just now are several great and troublesome problems, and it is now known that MT. Bryce's friends feared that if he continued in office at this time he would break down his health and probably have to aban- don his literary efforts. Among other things, the Panama canal toll question promises to furnish a disagreeable and unsatisfactory diplomatic task, with little prospect of being brought to a successful conclusion.

MELLEN IGNORANT.
Has No Knowledge of the Discontinu-
 ance of the Work, He says.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 10.-1n re- gard to the discontinuance of work on the Southern New England Railroad company. a message received here from President Charles s. Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, who is now tn Stockbridge, Mass, says:
 He has no knowledge of the discon- tinuance of the work on the Southern New England about Providence, and if the work has been discontinued it has probably been for some local reason the weather, financial or some other reason of that kind, and of which he is not advised"
 Nothing can be learned from rail road officers here, but it is said that the discontinuance of work would be one logical result of an agreement between the New Haven and the Grand Trunk.
 As bearing on the reported agree ment it is pointed out here that Presi- dent Hayes of the Grand Trunk, who was lost on the Titanic, was strongly in favor of the extension of the Grand Trunk system to Providence by the Southern New England, and that his death may have changed the rival poli- cies of the two great corporations, which before his death had reached an acute stage.
 The competing plan of the New Ha- ven, as against the Grand Trunk ex- tension into New England territory, included the building of parallels of the Vermont Central in New Hamp- shire and Vermont and enlargement of Canadian business, notably to and from Montreal.

GEORGETOWN HAS A
 MURDER MYSTERY
State Police and County Officials Work
 on Various Theories.

Georgetown, Conn. Nov. 10.-State policemen and Fairfield county officials To-day continued their search for clues as to the identity of the young Italian woman whose body, covered with still ettO wounds and wrapped in burlap, was found in a pond here Friday, but a. a late hour tonight the woman was DO identified and the case was as much a mystery as ever.
 Several theories have been advanced for the motive of the crime. but noth- ing tangible has been found to sub Etantiste any theory. Prosecuting Agent Beers of Danbury, who is per- sOnally Investigating the case, is pay ing considerable attention to the story that the woman may have been slain because of revelations to the state po- lice concerning the recent liquor raids here.
 A sheet which was wrapped about the body bears the initials "G. G." and es some of the Italians raided have last names commencing with "C' the pros- ecltOr is watching these families close iy. So far, none of the Italians in the neighborhood have ever seen the dead woman, or if they have they have de- sied it.
 \ baker and grocer, who daily pass E4ANA-Al tue ltltllDIgt were undDlc ID Identify the woman. Mir. Beers sand tonight that an Italian and his wife had recently disappeared from here, p1Oving away about the time of the liquor raids.
 Carl olsen, who lives about 500 yards From the pond, told the police today Shat about ten days ago he heard a wagon being driven rapidly past his house about midnight. Twenty min etes later he heard the team return kng
 Although banding as improbable ihe authorities are paying some atten- sion to the theory that the woman may have been a companion of Jennie Ca Vaglieri, who was recently murdered in btratford because of supposed revela- tions regarding the white slave traffic ln Chicago.
 Another theory Is that the body may have been brought here from New York state, the state line being only 2 few miles from here. At the present time there are several camps of Ital- sans working on the state road near the New York state line.
 Mir. Beers is practically certain that the woman was murdered while in bed probably while she was asleep. Coron- CT Phelan of Bridgeport is expected here tomorrow to commence his in Vestigation.

Sermon for the
 Presiden|-E|eCt
WILSON'S PASTOR LIKENS HIM
 TO HABAkKUK.
ALSO PRAYED FOR HIM
Mot a Man to Be Loved by Con servative of His Day, but the Sort They Are Likely to Cruelty.

Princeton, N. J., Nov 1o.-Woodrow Wilson today heard for the first time pulpit tribute paid to him as the future executive of the nation. He sat in his usual pew at the First Presbyterian church, with Mrs. Wilson and the Misses Jessie and Eleanor Wilson, but under circumstances diff ferent than the Wilson family ever before attended church, for both prayer and sermon were directed toward the president elect in terms of national solemnity and responsibility.
 Prayer for His Protection.
 Bowed with the rest of his family, pr. Wilson and congregation were tensely grave and silent as the Rev. Sylvester W. Beach uttered the first prayer in which Gods protection and aid was asked for the future presi- dent
 We besecch Thee, Our Father. he prayed, to regard with Thy favor and Thy love Thy servant, the president elect of the United States. Defend him from all evil and enrich him with all needed good. Sustain him in the great responsibilities that through the peo- pie Thou hast laid upon him: give him unhinching courage. deep insight, loyal devotion to duty as God shall give him to see 1t and wisdom which cometh down from above"
 Pastor a Princeton Graduate.
 The Rev. Mir. Beach is Princeton graduate, three classes earlier than Governor Wilson, but he has known the Wilson family intimately during Dr. Wilson's administration of the university affairs. He preached the funeral sermon over the body of Grover Cleveland. In his sermon to- day the pastor chose the Old Testa- ment character of Habakkuk as one resembling that of the president t-elect. Habakkuk as Symbol of Wilson. His outlook is peculiarly his own, D said the preacher of Habakkuk. yet symbolizing at the same time the character of the president elect. It is in a new direction that he looks. Other prophets have looked at the people, addressed the people, have been mes sengers of God to the nation. This prophet only looks to the people that he may more intensely and inquiringly look towards God. His utterance is in the form of reverence but of chal- lenge.
 Obviously this is not man who by any chance can be overlooked. He is not a man likely to be loved by the very conservative of his day. He is the sort of man they are likely to ,crucify. He is a prophet whom God inspires to bring message all his own He Is steadied by a sense of personal responsibility and only from the stand ing ground of his own faithfulness does he feel that he has the right to ask and expect light"
 No Callers During His Vacation.
 In discussing his vacation, pr. Will son said today he was going to be free from callers of every kind during the time he was away. Neither National Chairman McCombs nor Vice Chair man McAdoo or any of the other men prominently identified with the cam paign will invade his retreat He if going to be out of reach of everybody | and will summon no one.
 My friends have all considerately agreed not to look me up," he said I'm going to be alone with my fam | fly"
