Manuel C. Pacheco, chairman of
the Democratic territorial central
committee, read paper on ''The Ter.
ritorial Committee" in which he re-
iterGted the sentiment of united work
for Hawaii. He declared that the
Democratic organizations and fac
lions have had splendid scrap but
that they are getting together, and
he emphasized the statement that
Governor Pinkham should surround
himself with men in full sympathy
with the ideas and policies of Wood
row Wilson.
Governor Talks of Future of Tariff.
1t was Governor Pinkham's turn
him as '"The Governor of all Hawaii
and of all the people of all the
islands"
The governor, smiling at times; re-
ferred to the question disputed here
and in Washington as to his Demoe-
racy and answered that question by.
telling what he had told Senator Var.
daman of Mississippi--that he had
voted for Cleveland as we'll as for
other Democrats, including candi-
dates for governor in Massachusetts.
incidentally, before the evening was
over, more than one speaker declared
that the question of Mr.. Pinkham's
Democracy has been fully settled in
the affirmative.
To the banqueters generally, the
most striking and significant portion
of the governors talk was his deelar.
alton that President Wilson will not
see Hawaii injured by tariff legisla:
ton and refuse to take action toward
preventing that injury.
The president told me-" said the
governor earnestly. I'VE wish to do
nothing that will work to the injury
CT the people of Hawaii but to- do
everything to further their interests.
al think that's a good enough plat
:orm for Hawaii"
Apparently the diners thought so
also, for there was a storm of cheers.
We down here" continued the
governor, feel a little sensitive on
he tariff matter, but let NE tell you
that the tariff hasn't taken effect as
yet so far as we are concerned. n
the states the people have begun to
realize that the president was right in
his attitude and the people of Hawai-,
! believe, will come to the same CON
Ciusion as they sec how the leSisIa-
ton and Mr. Wilson's attitude toward

latiOn, declaring that it means "eman-

: That the aloha wreath" or the lei
of welcome" will be the carnival en-
blem of Honolulu was the enthusiastic
decision Of the Floral Parade week
decorations committee at its first meet
ing last night. It was also decreed
that yellow and green should be the
carnival colorsy the former as typify-
ing the old royal days and the latter
the eternal summer Of Hawaii.
When; the lei proposal was submit.
ted by d. Logan it was adopted with
out even the formality Of a vote, Mr..
Caldwell adding the suggestion tina:
the lei should be yellow, or, in the
case of evergreen leis, trimmed With
yellow. 49, So. --.-.
Chairman Berndt later, with tmani'
nous consent, decreed that the carni'
val colors for streamers, etc, should
be yellow and green. He spoke Of the
me effect of the uniform colors, yel-
low and red, used in the Portola fes-
tivities in San Francisco. .....
The proposer of the lei said that Ho-
noIulu street and house decorations
heretofore had been mere copies OF
what were to be seen everywhere else,
and what was needed was something
distfnctively Hawaiian which would be
remarked by visitors and specially
mentioned by descriptive writer's for
mainland newspapers and magazines.
1t was agreed that, massive leis
should be employed for decorating
lofty fronts and smaller ones for lower
positions. Corners Of streets, pillars
Of public buildings. statues, etc. will
have the emblem displayed. Further,
It was suggested that an effort be
made to have all citizens wear leis
On the day of the parade at least.

Soon Will Be Settled.
BY ASSOCIATED 1REss

Washington. Oct. 90-s.i1l George
Paish, the British government. & sp4efaI
financial advisor, said here today that
he believes that the international ex-
change problems now worrying the
federal reserve board soon will be set
tied, the trade balance again will
swing to the United States, and that
the payment of immense sums of gold
to England will become unnecessary.
He said he believed that the New York
and London stock exchanges soon will
open.
He declared. that American cotton
growers need not fear that the English
manufacturers would buy Egyptian
cotton in preference to American.
Although no definite plans thus far
have been taken up with the English
men, it is said that Mr.. McAdoo and
the reserve board members feel that
some plan must be worked out by
which the surplus cotton crop will be
cared for and manufacturers induced
to buy cotton.
Sir George, it is stated, has not been
authorized to agree to any plan, but
must return to England and lay be-
fore the cabinet any proposal that is
made, or communicate with his gov
ernment regarding acceptance of it. 1t
is said he came here to hear sugges-

ment in regard to meeting American

tention were the senate amendments

cents a gallon on rect1ted spirits ard
elimination of the tax on gasoline.

DISSOLVE THE BIG
TRUS 7.
Final Arguments are Be-
gun in Government Sent
to Break up the Greatest
of All Combinations.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

| Philadelphia, Oct. 20-Final argu-
ment in the government suit to dis
solve the United States Steel Corpora
tion, the greatest combination of capi-
tai in the world, on the ground that 1t
was created in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law, was begun here
today before four United States cir
cult judges sitting as the United States
court, district of New Jersey In which
jurisdiction the proceedings we're In
stituted. It was agreed that the en-
tire week should be devoted to the ar
guments. J. NJ. Dickinson, former sec
retary of war, who has had charge OF
the case for the government since it's
inception opened the argument Harry

After stating the law in the case
and citing decision In the tobacco.
Standard Oil, Northern Securities and
Harvester case, Mr.. Dickinson plunged
into a discussion of the formation Of
the steel corporation beginning with
the welding together of certain sub
sidiaries prior to the Incorporation in
1901 OF the big concern. Taking Up
subsidiaries of the United States Steel
Corpora ton, Mr.. Dickinson instanced
numerous cases OF what he alleged 10
be vicious practices In suppressing
competition. not only in the manufac-
ture of iron and steel, but also in the
wire and tinplate industries.
Mr.. Dickinson discussed the merg-
ing Of the FIVE great industrial and
financial interests. These include ti'e
Morgan interests consisting of the
Federal Steel, National Tube and
American Bridge Companies; Carnegie
interests consisting of properties con-
trolled by the Carnegie company Of
New Jersey; Moore interests, consist
ing OF the National Steel, American
Tinplate, American steel Hoop and
American Sheet Steel Companies; the
Gates interests, consisting Of the
American Steel and Wire Co. OF Nov
Jersey, and the Rockefeller interests
consisting of the consolidated iror
mines. Mr.. Dickinson enumerated tne
directors in each of the companies TO

Jabs Take Over
More Islands IN
the South Pacific
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

| Toxic, Oct 2O.-The navy depart
ment has announced the occupation,
for military purposes, of strategically
important islands in the Marianne Cor
Landrone), Marshall, East Caroline
and West Caroline archipelagos.
Previous announcement has 1een
made for the occupation by Japan Of
islands in the Marshall and Caroline
groups The occupation of an island
in the Marianne or I.adrOne group has
not heretofore been reported.
The Marianne islands lie directly
east OF Luzon and about LOO miles
from Manila They include Guam, ac-
Quired by the United States in 1888,
where a small military force is main
tanned and there Is a cable station IN
the line between Manila, Honolulu and
San Francisco on the island. The Ma
riane group is about 500 miles south
Of the Bonin islands which belong TO
Japan. The total area Of the Mari
anne is about 42O square miles. Most
of them are densely wooded and al
are described as very fertile.
With the exception Of Guam, all the
islands in this group were sold by
Spain to Germany in 1899 and from
part of a government district of Ger
man New Guinea.
It was announced from Toxic on
October that the Japanese squadron
delegated to destroy the German fleet
in the South seas had landed blue
Jackets on Jalusit island, the seat CT
government in the Marshall archipe-
Iago which was annexed by Germany
in 1856.
The MarshalIs are in the South Pa
cific about midway between the Philip
pines and Hawaii. Jalusit island is
34 miles long and % miles wide. 1t
has been the headquarters Of Dig
German company, which traded with
the Marshalls and adjacent groups Of
islands.
According to German news agency
despatch received in Peking October 4,
japanese forces had occupied the
island OF zap the most important
island in the Caroline group, one Of
the Philippines in the Pacific ocean
1t was declared later in Toxic that
this report was without confirmation.
Yap is due east Of the island of Min
danao in the Philippines and distant
2 bout !. 900 miles It is about $50 miles
southwest of Guam.
4 despatch from Washington, Oc-
tober T. quoted the Japanese embassy
as saying that the seizure Of the island
of Yap was only one development In
the general plan agreed upon by tho
British and Japanese to seize all Of
the German naval stations in the Pa
cifc. This was regarded as necessary,
1t was explained to terminate the ac-
tivities of the German cruisers which
have inflicted serious damage upon
British commerce.
Yap has large military importance
because il is a relay station of the
German cable lines in the far east,
one line running north to Shanghai and
the other southeast to Borneo, and |
Java A few months ago Il powerful |
German wireless station was opened !
