 Ignoring anything bearing on pomp or ceremony while governor of the state, the former governor is being called upon to observe court formaN- ty in the position he now holds.
 His greeting to the cousin of the King of Denmark was juNt one of the courtesies he extended during the stay of the prince and princess. as the American minister attended functions in their honor every evening during taeir stay in Siam.
 This infVrmation was contained in a letter from the former governor 70 Mrs Edna Ccrbett. secretary 10 Jus tice Baker. in which he touched upon many matters of interest relative to conditions in Siam. It follows in mart.

 On Trip With Botanist
 some time after my arrival the department of agriculture at Washing ton sent out to me. with d letter If Introduction. Dr. ]. r. Rock. dis tineuished botanist. as the bureau of plant in Jroduction was very anxious to secure some valuable plants Of any industrial nature communicated with the Siamese government and gave notice that would go with Dr. Rock. The government was very kind and gave us all the information and help possible. and on the trip to northern Siam We were made the guests Of the government. and no doubt some notes on that memorable trip VIII De Ol Interest.
 The three major plants that oar government was anxious about were first the ChalmooSra tree This grows in the jungles of Burma and Siam. grows and flourishes and bear nut. the oil of which cures leprosy. You can imagine what the result will be. After many centuries oi research sci entists have al last discovered cure for one of the most revolting and hideous diseases known to man. The second three of importance was the Chestnut. The past fe@ years. wi:a the introduction from Japan of an in of our country have died. and 10 get the wild tree. the bureau was anxious to secure specimens. The third tree was the Pomelo. What the grape fruit is 10 American people the Pc melo is to the Far Ess; and Siam grows is to perfection.
 With this incentive our party started out. The quest was eminent ly successful l was delighted to he of some use and at the same time to get in touch with the natives and the life of the people. Some 60,000 seeds of the Chalmoogra tree were sent back to be planted in Honolulu, South Florida and in Porto Rico. and. let IS hone that from these trees in time to come doing things, will help to wipe, from the earth one of the greatest scourges-lepr.sy. In northern siam in the mountains, two species of Chestnut trees were secured. and many thousands of nuts also were sent. From near Bangkok some very fine specimens of the PomelO were secured anu ITOIn thiS DcShAhbS ehcI hope to start another industry that will bring joy to the palate of the American people.

SENDS MESSAGE TO
PRESS CONGRESS OF
WORLD AT HONOLULU.

Honolulu. Oct. 12.-Dr. Walter Will
liams, president of the Press Congress
of the World. which opened it's session
here today. has received the follow
ing message from It. r. Williams,
president OF the American Newspa-
per Publishers ASSOCIATION:
"On behalf of the American News
paper Publishers association. permit
me to extend heartiest greetings to
the Press Congress of the World. 1t
is a gathering from which it is i'm
possible for anything but good to
come, wherein it will be regarded in
some quarters. perhaps, as differing
from other congresses which we all
respect too highly to mention.
"It is really of good omen to the
people of all countries that there
should be such an international con-
ference of their respective newspaper
fraternities as that which you are
holding.
The press is, in every civilized
land, the supreme vehicle Of public
opinion. and it is public opinion
which ultimately governs. That the
press by which the chief nations are
interpreted to one another, should
be internationalized in the spirit OF
fraternal good will, is therefore of the
highest consequence to men else
where.
This friendly mingling of editors
and publishers from widely separated
lands for the purpose of better under
standing and increased cooperation
is the first step toward the ERA OF
