President Roosevelt enjoyed last
week one of the happiest features OF
his holiday trip when the Houston
landed on the shores OF Hawaii, the
scenes Of tropical beauty Through
which he passed being unexcelled. In
Honolulu there were some familiar for
malities in the way of hospitality, Gov.
Joseph B. Poindexter giving dinner
followed by small reception, very
much as such parties are given at
the White House for visiting execu-
tives. Everything was kept as simple
as possible In the entertainment line
TO spare the President fatigue, but
there was q luncheon given by Maj.
Gen. Briant r. Wells, commanding the
Hawaiian Department, at Schofleld
Barracks and a review of troops. A
tentative feature of the program, but
one which the President was GER
tainly prepared to enjoy, was native
feast, or luau, and his inspection of
the Pearl Harbor was quite complete.
The new deal hit the fancy OF
Hawaiians from the very first and
that, too, added to the satisfaction of
the President In his visit.
State Department folk and society
in general expressed great satisfaction
over the graceful act of the munich
pality at Rio de Janeiro in naming
one of the streets in its fashionable
section, Embaixador Morgan, in COM
pliment to, the late Edwin Vernon
Morgan. United States Ambassador,
who recently died at Petropolis, Rio
de Janeiro. Nothing could better have
expressed the high esteem IN which
Ambassador Morgan - called Eddie
Morgan by his intimates-than this
tribute. Mr.. Morgan was truly a
"career man" In the State Depart
ment, progressing through a series of
appointments until he recently reached
the highest, the posts where he served
rs Miniter being Korea, Cuba, Para
quay, Uruguay and Portugal his
last post being at Lisbon before going
to Brazil.
Mr.. Morgan's health failed during
the past year or two of his diplomatic
service, and he was retired in April of
last year under the provisions of the
act of 1891. after % years service in
Brazil. His friendships there were so
strong that he refused to return TO
the States and died at Petropolis,
where he was held in such reverence
that all classes were represented at his
funeral Business houses closed their
doors, flowers were Strewn and there
were other acts Of kindness shown for
the friendly diplomat. Mr.. Morgan
was an offcer of the Brazilian order
Cruzeiro do Sui. When in Washing
ton Mr.. Morgan, who was a hand
some and suave man. gave delightful
little dinner parties, gathering about
him. not the folks of fashion, but his
friends In letters, art and politics. Mr..
Hugh S, Gibson. another Washington
faycrite, succeeded Mr.. Morgan on his
resignation.
