This expression of feeling on the
part of Mr.. Barron did not indicate
waning confidence in his ability to
pull down the plum for himself, but
merely natural uneasiness because OF
persistent rumors that fellow citi-
zen of the postmaster-general had
been given running startEwhen Mr.
Pacheco's name was dropped from
consideration. Mr.. Barron has been
strongly endorsed for the place by
members of Congress here. He pro-
poses to fight until the last minute
and then some. He will not admit
the possibility of defeat.
Buff the rumUred does happen
and a mainlander walks off with the
prize there will be a day of reckon
ing for Mr.. McCandless. That much
is made self-eYident by the observa-
tions of Mr.. Barron. In fact, he is
pretty warm in the collar and feels
much resentment because the recon-
mendatiCn CT Mr. Pacheco was Slip
ped along via the underground rail
read and he did not know of it until
the matter was we'll advanced.
There will be no retraction of the
previous statement that Mr. Barron
must be labeled a hustler. Up to this
writing he has continued on the dead
jump. His energy has developed to
such a degree that he now finds time
to eat but twice a day. The usual
third meal has been dropped, although
shortage of funds did not make it
necessary. His campaign for federal
pie has doomed along without inter
immigration to the list of those jobs
it is proposed to lug home with him.
A successor to Mir Cottrill, collec-

ISLAND OF GROUP
Visiting Newspaper Man Tells
of Scenery on Road from
Lihue to HanaIei

The island of Kauai is off the beat
en- track of tourist travel, but 1t is
more beautiful and more picturesque
than any other island of the Hawaiian
group. Because it is away from the
usual tourist routes and because his
curiosity had been excited by descrip-
tions of the" Garden Island" George
Hamlin Fitch, literary editor of the
San Francisco Chronicle, paid fly
ing visit to Kauai yesterday. Mr..
Fitch gave the following account of
his impressions to a Star-Bulletin re-
porter:
The trip to Kauai is lar easier than
had been led to expect. The ocean
was comparatively calm yesterday and
neither on the trip down nor back

TO TELL OF WORK
At BIG RALLY
This evening
Local RELIGIOUS Workers Take
Charge OF Party and Enter
tain 1t During Stay

En- route to the mainland after Il
visit to Bombay, India, where they
were delegated by the American
Board of Foreign Missions to attend
the very recent centenary there of
the. establishment of the first Amer
ican mission in that country, eight
mission workers, headed by Mrs. Sam
uel B. Capen, wife of the late president
of the American Board, arrived in Ho-
nolulu this morning in the Manchu-
ria. The party includes Mrs. Capen
and her daughter, DIR. William f..
Strong, editor Of the Missionary Her
aid; Rev. George A. Hall, a member
of the prudential committee of the
American Board; Mrs. Hall, Miss Hall
and the Misses Podman and Bridg-
man.
A committee consisting of F. C..
Atherton, w. A. Bowen, F. J. Lowrey,
w. r. Castle, DR.. Doremus Scudder
and G. p. Castle met the party upon
the arrival of the steamer. A feet

these the visitors were taken on a

declaring that their stop in this city
made an exceptionally delightful
break in the long journey from the
Far East to the United States. Al
noon the visitors were entertained at
luncheon at the homes of the several
members of the reception committee
This afternoon the members OF the
party are having an opportunity to get
into touch with the various scenes Of
early missionary life and to hear the
fascinating stories connected with
them.

sor T. A. Jaggar, representative OF

sociatien that dispatched the .scien-
tist to the Orient in the wake of the
disastrous eruption of Sakurajima, at
Kagoshima, which caused loss of life
of about "a persons with a death zone
that would have involved 10000 in.

he continued. He mentioned the vol
canoes of Kaimon, Kirishima, Aso3an
and Bandaisan, all of which afforded
much of interest to the scientist.
Professor Jaggar left Honolulu on
January 22nd and remained in the vi.
cinity of Kagoshima during the great
er part of February and a portion OF
March. He was accorded every facil-
ity for pursuing his study of the ac-
tive volcano and was greatly assisted
by Professor Omori, a prominent Jap
anese authority on volcanic disturb
ancese.
Professor Jaggar is enthusiastic
over the possibilities of new instru-
ment that has been invented in Japan
which is predicted will be of great
service in determining the location and
area of local earthquake shocks. The
instrument is to be manufactured by
a Tokyo concern and models were
tried with signal success at Kago-
shima. He attributes most of the
deaths at Kagoshima to the eartn-
quake rather than contact with ma
teriaI from the volcano.
Meeting Professor Omor., a visit to
the distressed locality was made
where a lava field of about 10 square
kilometers was found in which the
flow is said to have reached a depth
of 500 feet in places. The eruption is
pronounced S essentially Vesuvian in
it's character, and Iar different from
