TRY to Keep Other Americans
Out by ISLANDERS, So They
Can Monopolize Riches"

A hitter attack upon Americans
who, President obregon alleges, seek
TO prevent recognition of the Mexi-
can government 80 that they may
continue to maintain q monopoly on
the wealth OF that country, 10 con-
tanned In an address delivered by the
president Of Mexico to q party from
st. Louis, Mo-. and made public here
today by the Mexican embassy.
FRIGHTEN OTHERS AWAY.
President Obregon declared that
this group Of men. who had the for
tune to come first to our country and
to discover our inexhaustihie riches.
should have been the FIRST to point
out to their own country the number
less opportunities offered by Mexico"
but their desire has been always to
frighten away their feIlow-citizens in
order TO prevent them from coming to
MEXICO that they may take advantage
of It's total riches.
This group has been clamorinG,"
ObreGon said. by means Of the press
paid by 1t, that the Mexican people II

real enemy 10. in fact this very group
of men; and say enemy OF the Amert.
can people because. In preventing us
from knowing each other and from
establishing cordial relations upon the
basis of mutual respect and estima-
ton. they unlawfuily work against the
two peoples."
President Obregon expressed the
hope that men from all the nations of
the world might come to Mexico in
order to know the "dangers" offered
by that country and the Advantages
that could be obtained through honest
effort.
CALLS THEM EGOTISTIC,
Those persons in the United States
who are said by Obregon to be work
ing to prevent recognition Of Mexico
are described by him as Essentially
egotistic and only able to see through
the crystal of their own material
existence.
1--WE wish all people to know"
Oregon said, "that while we have a
hand to capture undesirable for.
eisners and put them out Of our
frontiers, we also have another to
offer with all sincerity to moral and
enterprising men that may come to
collaborate with US and to partake of
cur immense wealth"
He concluded by declaring his de-
sire that the visitors carry q happy
remembrance Of this great people so
little known and SO greatly slandered,
and that each become 4 herald of the
truth"

major was turning around in my d.

breast"
A description of the incidents lead
ing up to the shooting is given in the
purported confession, Mr.. Selden said.
After explaining that Captain Ro~
senbluth first approached him four
days before the shooting. Pothiers
statement says
ION the day or the night thereafter
I again met Captain Rosenbiuth and
he asked me II ! remembered what he
said to me the other night about nring

asked me IL l had any idea what II
was for. and l answered no.! He then
said: I want to get Major Cronkhi;e.'

said: i want to kill him.

II asked him what his reasons
were for wanting me to kill the
major. and he said: Because we
want to get him out of the way"
The alleged confession then stated,

Rosenbluth told Pothier precisely
what he was to do and promised him
protection and then continues:

sion, and Major Cronkhite was shot In

Pothier described the scene as fol-
lows AZ
"As Cronkhite fell I heard another
shot from behind and Captain Rosen-
bluth came rushing up on the scene.
He picked up Cronkhite and dragged
his body so that 1t lay In position
parallel with the road. Rosenbluth
then drew his pistol from its holster
and shot a hole through tobacco can
and said:
"Do not forget about tbs being

Bronco Busters put OF their program
of songs, demonstrations, pyramids
and a few yells. l say a few yells
because the Kipahulu scouts excelled
in this particular pastime, as they
had been taught all the latest in up
to-date yells by Paul Fassoth, who
was home on a vacation from Hitch.
cocks Military Academy of San
Rafael at California. They made the
rafters ring with their snappy poppy
yells. 1t certainly was good to hear
them.
On Thursday morning, Paul Fassoth
piloted the bunch up through the cane
fields to Pipiwei Valley to see the
waterfalls. Some waterfalls believe
me. In the one small valley eight
distinct falls from so to 100 feet high
were dashing down over the great
cliffs. 1t was an eye full to the Ma
kawao bunch who came from the dry
side of the mountain. Riding down to
the main road we bid goodbye to
Paul and started on Il trip to Hama.
Along the splendid highway we rode,
through the heavy growth of trees and
ferns and at every turn of the road
great streams of water were pouring
down through the gulches. On our
right was the great Pacific Ocean and
on the left the wonderful verdure clad
mountains. Rain, rain, rain. yes
plenty of it, until w reached Hama,
and then some fore rain. At Hama
we were met by Scoutmaster Nevin-
gold Assistant Scoutmaster Hawkins,
and %encOurted to the community hall
where we left our packs. The horses
and mules were stabbed at the plan
tation stables and the scouts escort
ed to the restaurant TO attend to the

THE BIG HIkE
(COntinued)

9 The camp site at Lalakea was a
beautiful place and one long to be
remembered by all concerned. After
the long and arduous ride up and
down the steep gulches and rocky
trails from Kaupo it was indeed a
great treat to find such IA secluded
restful place TO spend the night.
The trail led across a great grassy
slope at the head of the beach. On
the right was the great ocean and to
the left the rocky cliffs. We found a
large W. where the Hawaiian fisher
man had stored some fishing nets
and the boys and men arranged their
blankets for a good nights sleep.
Plenty of drift wood was at hand for
cooking and campfire purposes, and
the roma of coffee, bacon etc, was
soon tickling the palataes of the hun
CRY bunch.
After supper some OF the troop de-
cided TO camp out on the green grass
just above the edge of the waves. A
long lpanto was made of ponchos,
rain coats and blankets, large enough
to accommodate about seven scouts.
After this drift wood was gathered
and a large camp fire built on the
rocks at the edge of the sea. Stories
were told until bed time and then all
retired for the night. At least hat is
what they all thought. But such was
not to be the case. Just after mid
night the heavens opened up and the
rain simply poured down. The scouts
in the leanto were sOon wet to the
skin, and Pop who had picked a fine
airy place near the outside of the
cave was forced to hunt a dry spot
further back.
Wednesday morning fires We're built
up close to the edge of the cave out
of the rain and breakfast prepared.
After waiting an hour for the rain to
let up and finding that it would not
do So, horses and mules were saddled
and packed and a start made for XII
pahulu.
Kipahulu was reached about 10 a.
m. and the scouts received a rousing
reception by the Fassoths and some
of the scouts who happened to be in
the town at the time. Most of the
Kipahulu scouts were at work on the
plantation and so did not participate
in the arrival of the Bronco Busters.
Animals were unsaddled and unload
ed and put in the plantation stables,
lunch was served to the troop in the
restaurant, and the afternoon was
spent in sight seeing around the dis
trict.
After supper the whole plantation
gathered in the movie house and the

That night the troop slept in the com
munity house.
Friday morning, Pop took in a sup
ply of grub to take care of our wants
until we reached home on Saturday.
The Bronco Busters put on their swim
ming trunks and made for the sea at
Hama harbor. Such a swim as they
enjoyed. 1t certainly was hard work
to get the mout of the water.
After lunch animals were saddled
and packed and the start made for
the Ditch Trail and home. over a
splendid hard paved road we made
our way through the usual growth and
verdure, and plentifully showered by
rain, rain, rain. Would it never stop.
Again the never ending supply of
mountainapples, mangoes, guavas,
thimble berries, cocoanuts and bana-
mas. The scouts surely had their fill,
and the poor animals must have
groaned under the extra load they
were forced to carry.
