basketball season tonight when the
Ichabods meet the Bethany quintet of
Lindsborg on the Washburn floor.

One of the most extended notices
Rocha secured was from the news
papers Of Salt Lake When speaking
in the tabernacle he paid a particular
tribute to the work of the Mormons
in this territory and the bond of
friendship that exists between Utah
and a large part of the population of
Hawaii. The account of what he said
is given in part as follows in one of
the Salt Lake newspapers:
Mr.. Rocha was the first speaker.
He spoke of his great admiration for
the United States and said far as he is
from Hawaii, where he has lived all
the time for 80 years, he feels at
home. He admired San Francisco,
when few days ago he landed for the
first time in his life on the shores of
the United States. and likewise in
Los Angeles he found much to admire.
He came on to Salt Lake City, arriv-
ing here last Tuesday and was met by
friends at the Depot.
At once he said he felt at home; he
felt the same peaceful influence here
among the members Of the church
that he had observed among the mis-,
sionarie.S and saints in the Hawaiian
islands. He said he has been treated
with every confederation and has met
many people whom he has come to
know and admire. Mr.. Rocha told of
meeting the elders in Honolulu and
how he became their fast friend. He
came in contact with them in a bust
ness way and at once opened an argu-
ment with them! He had said harsh
words and was taken aback by their
soft replies and perfect control He
observed their labors among the peo-
pie, he watched their course and in
time admitted he was wrong in taking
exception to their teaching.
Administer Help
He said the Mormon elders in
Hawaii are dolrg mole good among
the native islands than any other de.
nomination tina. is represented there.
He has seen them travel two by two
along the hot dusty roads on their way
TO administer help and cheer to some
member of their church or to visit a
friend. He has seen them make new
friends and converts and he has seen
them extend actual aid and assistance
to the needy. He told the elders he
first met that in the near future he
would meet them in Salt Lake City.
That was three years ago, he said, and
this is the outcome of that determine
ton. r.. ~. ="
The Mormon elders whom he has
met in Hawaii. Mr.. Rocha said, have
been trained rot only in schools of
learning, bat they have received that
best of all training, the moral teach
ings OF the home, the training that
never dies. They are, he said, true
followers of the Christ.

When it comes to originality and
gratuitous service in boosting for Ha-
waii, j. E. Rocha is certain to be
awarded a high place on the list OF
men who have worked earnestly and
with great enthusiasm for Hawaii
Rocha returned short time ago
from trip to the mainland, WHICH
was taken primarily to see the United
States of America, or as much Of 1t
as could be encountered in a three
months tour. He has not been known
! in Honolulu as stump speaker" but
he gained a reputation among large
number of people from San Diego to
Washington as most interesting lee
turer on Hawaii. Rocha did lots OF
talking, and judging from the press
notices he received and the letters
which he prizes as souvenirs OF his
tour, he was most cordially received.
He talked at the Rotary Club in San
Diego.
Speaks in Tabernacle
At Salt Lake City Rocha spoke for
an hour and half in the famous Nor
mon tabernacle, and during that time
held the attention of 5000 people. In
the evening of the day when he spoke
at the tabernacle, Rocha received a
call from a number of tourists who
had listened to his talk and were so
pleased that they took the trouble to
thank him for excellent ideas he had
given of Hawaii and what it offers.
In the city of Washington Rocha
spoke at the Catholic University of
America He received very flatter-
ing notice in the Washington Star of
October s, and personal letter from
Geo. A. Dougherty, vice-rector of the
university.
While in New York Rocha secured
a position in one of the famous wom-
ems tailor shops of that metropolis
for the purpose of gaining the latest
ideas for his business. He lived in
Brooklyn and during his stay there
had occasion to break into print re-
garding Hawaii On his way home he
stopped at Cokoes, New York, and
got a large measure of newspaper
space in that city Again at Beloit.
Wis. Rocha figured in the newspaper
columns. giving the people the bene-
fit of his knowledge of Hawaii and
its many attractions.
Declines Several Invitations
Rocha found a great demand every
where for information on Hawaii. He
had many offers to lecture which he
was unable TO accept on account of
press OF time and the fact that he was
travelling entirely at his own expense
He fully believes that it would be
possible for the islands to profit won

impossible the German prize crew Of
ficer gave orders to have the ship
