T. Tanaha Comes
But Not As Was
Expected, Consul
Says Appointmenrot Succes
sor to Mr. Uyeno Not " T"
Decided ' -
; Hon. Toklchl Tanaka has not been
sent here as Japanese consul general
for -Hawaii to succeed S. Uyeno. This
was made certain this morning by Mr.
Tanaka himself on his arrival by the
Shinyo Maru.
He has come! for a tour of only two
or three weeks, after which he will re
turn to Japan, he said, but there seems
to be a possibility that he may yet be
named consul here. The appointment
is still undecided by the Japanese gov
ernment. .'
Mr. Tanaka was greeted -upon his
arrival this morning by a large number
of prominent Japanese, , and the scene
on the Shlnyo's deck for a few min
utes was like an informal reception.
He was here ten years ago as eleve
consul and still numbers his friends
here by the score.
Eleve Consul Mori headed the little
group that gathered at Alakea dock to
welcome the consul and several prom
inent Japanese newspaper men were
also present. v
"I am here partly on pleasure and
partly to look over the field, said Mr.
Tanaka to the Star-Bulletin. "The ap
pointment of a consul is still unde
cided." .. . "'.' '.' x .
' Asked if there was any possibility
that he himself would be named., he
smiled and indicated that there is a
possibility of such a result I
lie will be the guest of the Mochi
zukl Club during his stay here. Mr.
Mori said this morning that no elab
orate functions had been planned: for
the visitor, as Mr. Tanaka's desire is
for a rather quiet visit ' ;
Mr. Tanaka, although a young man,
has made a record for himself in the
consular service.: He was stationed in
Seattle some years ago at a particu
larly critical period in Japanese j and
American relations, and acquitted him
self with credit . '
A trip of inspection around the Is
lands will probably be made during his
stay here. : .

This is so practical that phil,an

after making 1 a --very low rental, with
high moral rules, for inhabitants, they
are able to derive a small revenue
above the cost of -maintenance. This
revenue perhaps is not equal to .the in

difference Is the owners' contribution,
