INTERVIEWS AND SIDELIGHTS
ON CONGRESSIONAL VISITORS

A number of congressman were din
ner guests Wednesday at the home Of
Francis Gay, in Wailele, Kalihi, and
were loud in their praise of the mag
nificent settings. "A veritable fairy.
land" was ones summary of his i'm
pressions. ..
Il feel repaid for my trip down
here by just the automobile ride | had
around the city and vicinity this at
ternoon, said Representative James
C.. Mclaughlin of Detroit It's won
derful, but what impresses me
even more is what the hand OF
man has done to improve natures
gifts. These fairyland homes and es-
tates are wonderful. 1t exceeds my
imagination"
Gentlemen, want to tell you that
there were no politics in the last
congress, remarked Congressman
Mclaughlin, when congress was men
toned. Everybody got down to real
business and sawed wood. There were
no political lines or divisions, no
party votes"

Senator William King of Utah has
the distinction of being the first rep
resentative in Congress to introduce
bill for the annexation of Hawaii.
During 1897 when Senator King was
representative, he introduced bill
which would bring Hawaii under the
American flag. -. ..sat
At that time Representative Tom
Reed and Representative Joseph
Bailey were opposed to the bill. II
was their contention that Hawaii
would be more Of weakness than
strength. Senator King said today
that Hawaii naturally belonged to
the United States and our possession
gave us a safety and security for the
American republic. "One of our great
statesmen said that in so years the
Pacific would be the great waterway

BOWERS FAvORS
AQUARIUM and
HATCHERY HERE
Not Only That But West Virgin
ian Thinks Hawaii the Place
for Fish Laboratory


Honolulu is the logical location foI
a National Aquarium" said Congress
man George NJ. Bowers Of West Viz
GINA today. The representative from
West Virginia is one of the leading
authorities in congress today on fish
life.
Honolulu should not only have q
National Aquarium, but should be the
home of laboratory and fish hatch
cry. There are mere highly colored
and ornamental fish around Hawan
than in any other section of the
world. This is one point in favor OF
Hawaii as the location for big aqua,
rum. = s.s '-. .-. =
The Atlantic with a coastline which
does not begin to come up to that OF
the Pacific, has three laboratories.
There is not fish laboratory on the
Pacific Coast with its thousands OF
miles of coastline. Massachusetts,,
North Carolina, and Florida have Ia
boratories Hawaii should have one.
For years the Pacific has been with
out a laboratory because Oregon,
Washington and California have been
fighting for the location. The labora-
tory with an essential degree of pro-
priety could be established right here
in Hawaii. .-~...f 49,"
Thousands visitors go to Naples
every year to study, the fishes at the
National Aquarium of Italy. Naples
is known the world over as the home
or fishes. There are enough speci-
mems in these waters to give an ex-
hibit which would far surpass that
of Naples.
synonymous With Hawaii
With a hatchery, laboratory and
aquarium here the species could be
propagated to such an extent that
when one would talk of fishes they
would think of Hawaii am confident
that the rainbow trout of California
could be brought to the inland waters
of your islands. You have great pos
sibilities here, and with hatchery es-
tablished the fame of Hawaii would
extend throughout the world" he con-
cluded.
Representative Bowers is one of the
foremost authorities on fishes in the
world today. He was one of the men
ors for the Hawaiian fishes which
were first reproduced in the Bureau
of Fisheries report in 1901. DIR. David
Starr Jordan was another man who
became interested in this work.
Representative Bowers was appoint
ed Fish Commissioner of the United
States by President Mckinley. He was
reappointed by President Roosevelt.
He was appointed as member OF
congress and is still there.
Next to his interest in the finny
tribe, Congressman Bowers is closely
devoted to apples. He said today
that his county in West Virginia rails
ed more apples than the entire state
of Washington and the neighboring
county in Virginia raised more APP
pes than the entire state of Oregon.
His son has an apple orchard in Berke-
ley county. which Melted $4,000 last
year. -.

The tragedy is q result of an affair
covering many years. In TIE Philip
pines, Anna and Melcardo met each
other shortly after the death Vt the
woman's husband, according TO her
story Melcardo brought her % Ho
nolulu, and the. couple went to Kauai.
Accompanying them from the Philip
pines was Cipriane Conahap, who
loved Anna and had asked her to
marry him.
Melcardo refused to marry her, how
ever, and when the couple returned
to Oahu and went to live at Wal!iawa,
he tried to force her into n life of
shame, she says. After two years
with the man who had brought her
from her home, but who would not
marry her, she came to Honolulu.
Cipriano had settled down in the tail
oring business here.
When Anna arrived in Honolulu
several days ago, she met CiDriano.
and he asked her to marry min. She
agreed. and he told her she could stay
at the hotel, and they would be mar
ried the following morning. Yester-
day, CipTianoy told his brother Pason
to GO TO the hotel and see if the
woman was still there. In the mean
time Melcardo had come to town, and
learning from countryman that An
ma was at the hotel, he hurried to the
hosiery.
Anna declared that while she and
Pason were in the room, Melcardo
burst open the door. When he saw
Anna, he demanded that she return
with him to Wahiawa, and upon her
refusal, attacked her, she declares.
Pason fled from the room and Mel
cardo pursued him. He caught Pason
at the foot of the stairs, and stabbed
him through the back.
Melcardo was arrested at the hotel,
and the police say he confessed to the
stabbing. Cipriano returned to the
hotel half an hour after the stabbing

Friday voted favOrably on the $25,00O
appropriation to pay for the Inaugural

resolution from the appropriations
committee Senator McCumber (Rep.)

hotel that room for inauguration
week would cost 5000

HITS FOES Of MILITIA
WILSON TELLS MILITARY TRAIN.
ING ADVOCATES THEIR LAM
GUAGE HURTS CAUSE.
ATTACK POLICY ON BORDER
Delegation From Maryland Told by the
President That the Whole Question
Will Be sifted thorouehIy-Defends
Efforts of Congress.

Washington, Jan. 21.-President
Wilson, speaking on Thursday to u
delegation from the Maryland League
for National Defense, which attacked
the National Guard and advocated uni
verSal military training, rebuked them
for their "unrestruined language" and
said they would have better chance
of his support if they were more rea-
Sonable in their attitude.
The memorial, read to the president
by Maj. Randolph Barton, spoke of the
National Guard system as disgrace"
and failure" 1t urged universal
compulsory military training and Serv-
ice, and mentioned the mobilization of
the National Guard along the Mexican
border as an example of ''the failure"
of the system.
President Wilson told the delegation
that their attitude closed the Oppor-
tunity for discussion of the question
and was not helpful.
Delegations representing defense
leagues in Maryland and Massachusetts
laid before President Wilson reSOlu-
tons urging universal military service.
The president, discussing compulsory
military service, declared that unques-
tiOnably physical training was needed
and would accomplish great deal,
but it can be had without compulsory
military service" He added that he
was desirOus of doing the wise thing
and that the entire subject was receiv-
ing his most earnest consideration. He
made in congress to build up proper
military service.
II do not need to prove to you or
anybody my deep interest in this sub
ly say to you would have been more
impressed by this memorial if it had
been expressed in more restrained Ian
guage. From some of the unqualified
statements in this paper must frankly
dissent"
Senator John Walter Smith of Mary
land accompanied the delegation.
The memorial which aroused the
president contained detailed criticism
of the sending Of the guard to the Mex
lean border and said it was utterly
and absolutely inadequate for the de-
fenSe of the country"
ut is a scandalous waste of public
money" was another statement in the
memorial. "Such system is dis
grace TO the civilized people," it con
tinued.

in Control of Steel Output.

London, Jan. 26.--The British gov
ernment has refused permission to the
Hadtields, Ltd, to proceed with work
on the contract for shells for the
American navy $50 long as the eXig-

bid was found to be 5000 lower per
shell than the offer of any American
firm in open bidding.
