Congressmen
See Hawaii
Hilo Residents Give Hearty
Welcome.
Hilo, September 10. The wharf
as thronged with' Hilo folks yes
terday evening when the Mauna Ken
made fast with the Congressmen and
their families who have come all the
ly from Washington to have a look
it the Big Island of Hawaii
It was a happy crowd too, those
on board looked as happy as those
on shore felt. As the steamer ap
proached the wharf, the Hilo Band
played a cheerful march followed by
'America". In response came some
Hawaiian music from a Hawaiian
glee club. As soon as the gang plank
as lowered, the Hilo Ix-igirls head
ed by Mrs. Abbie Maguire went
i hoard and on to the upper deck
here every visitor was smothered
in maile and beautiful rose leis. The
young ladies were:
Mrs. Abhie Maguire, Misses Ruby
I'ua, Amy Williams, Josephine Kai
henui, Emily Ewaliko, Amoy Ah
Hin, Keahi Xalinui, Annie Ix-wis,
Enmui Lewis, Edna Akau, Alice
Hattie, Mrs. W. Stone, Gertude
Willfong and Lydia Macy.
As soon as the visitors stepped
ishore they were welcomed by the
Reception Committee headed by Mr.
:i ml Mrs. E. X- Holmes. They
Itoardcd the train and were quickly
brought to the Hilo Bailroad depot
whence autos and hacks were wait
ing Jo winsK tliem away to their
temporary homes.
The Congressional party left Ho
nolulu on Tuesday at noon, with a
big seiidofT. The run to Mahukona
was made up to midnight when a big
delegation left to go to the Kohala
and Haniakua ditch district. Tin
autos of E. J- Lord and F. E. Thomp
son were sent ashore and soon after
midnight the jolly party was en routi
o the mountains, the party consist
ing of Hon. Bichard Bartholdt, dean
f the delegation, J Ion. J. McLach-
in, Hon. Win. A. Beeder, Hon
. .1. liaichfeld, Hon. Aubrey
Thomas, Hon. W. A. Bodenberg,
E. S. Thcall, Hon. George W,
Taylor. Delegate Kuhio and B. O.
Mathcson of the Governor's olliei
accompanied the party.
XapotiHo wax reached an hour
late, and everybody rushed ashore
where they were given a pleasant
welcome by Hawaiian, with Sen
ator Paris at the head of the wel
copiers. Autos and carriagen wen
utilized and soon a long cavalcade
was winding up the mountain road
and into the pure fresh air of the
Kojia small farming district. Tin
Congressmen were early apprised of
the beauty and agricultural wealth
of the district when they passed in
the coffee sections where tin
large green and red lorries attract
ed .their attention and many a Con
gressnian junicd out of his carri
iige to purloin a few branches which
they horn- to take to their mainland
homes.
The picturesque dwellings, Un
varied population, the homelike pir
ture appealed to most of the Con
gressmen for they come from rural
districts and a farm appeals to their
sense of the fitness of things. Up
through the cool coffee plantation
to the pineapple section where tin
big cannery caught their eye, the
experimental tobacco plantations
from which they were told tin; fin
est tobacco for filler and wrapjx-r is
now taken, the cavalcade continued
every turn of the road .showing new
scenes to delight the eye. Those in
autos made side turns to little homt
steads, for most of the Congressiin
are men who want the small hotin
established here, just as on tin
mainland. For miles and mill
they passed through plantation aft i
plantation of coffee growers, over
tine road, and then came the descent
along a somewhat dusty road 'until
Kailua was reached where tl
Mauna Kea rode at anchor and In
boats awaited tin- travelers. X
time was lost in getting aboard
again.
Captain Guney
Discovers Pole.
Honolulu, September f) .Passers
y the ship chandlery on tauten
treet this morning were interested
in a piece ot red-painted pipe placed
outside the store bearing the legend,
North Pole, discovered by Captain
luney.''
There was an interesting discus
sion in the chandlery this morning
Mint the relative claims of Cook
and TV-nry to having discovered the
ole.
After everybody had taken a hand
in the argument, Captain Campbell
marked that it was not wonderful
that Peary had found no traces of
'ook at the pole.
'Even had there been ice at the
juile instead of open water TVnry
might not have found Cook's Hag
ir the simple reason that the iec-
i.-iek is continually shifting Cook
may have left his mark behind him
ilright. but his eas is apt to be
similar to the fisherman who found
fine fishing-ground off Waikiki
uid who, after fixing a landmark,
ut a notch in the side of his Imat
in a straight line with tin-landmark.
Next time he went fishing and tried
locate the place where he had
previously caught his moss of fish,
was at a loss to explain his in-
ibility to do so. Star.
few miles north of Kailua the
bout A Whale, A Whale" caus-
l a rush to the rail nnd in the far
listanee a big denizen of the deep
oiild be seen. It was thought to
be a whale and the Congressmen si
ntered in their diaries.
At Knilua, Governor Frcar, U
S. Senator Dillingham, U.S. Inmii
gration Commissioner Wheeler ami
wife, Mr. Millis, the expert statis
tical! for the Immigration Comniis-
ion, Private Secretary McBrydeand
George B. McClellan, left for the
homestead sections to inspect the
listriets and to obtain data concern
ing the population.
The beautiful Haniakua coast
with its waterfalls, odd landing
places for steamer's boats and the
magnificent stretches of sugar plan
tations were marvels of picturesque
beauty to the Congressman who sat
on deck all afternoon. At Laupa-
hoehoc the Hilo committee came
aboard and pinned yellow badges to
ach member of tin- Congressional
party and gave them cards indicat
ing who would entertain them over
night. As the steamer passed Pa
paaloa plantation the mill whistle
sounded three times in honor of the
Congress-men and Captain Freeman
responded three times with the
steamer whistle. Mr. Bichards rush-
mi to the upiier deck and explained
to the captain that he had just an
nounced to all Hilo's entertainers
of Congressional people that the
party would take dinner aboard and
not partake of Hilo hospitality at
the dinner table. Captain Freeman
obligingly tried to rectify the error
by blowing his whistle half a dozen
times but the damage had been
lone. But the party had dinner
ashore, as planned, just the same.
s Hilo's great harbor was ap
proached the Congressmen crowded
the rail to view what they termed
was really a splendid harlmr, each
nnxious to catch a glimpse of the
Breakwater, for many of them had
voted for the appropriation under
which it is licing constructed. What
they observed seemed to be satisfac
tory.
As the wharf was reached the
party went to the upper deck for
they had been told they were to be
decorated with leis by some of Hi
lo's prettist Hawaiian maidens, and
they looked eagerly forward to this
pretty custom which they have come
to regard as one of the prettiest wel
coming features of Hawaii mi.
They were not disapoiiited when
the white gowned ladies came up
the gangway with loads of fragrant
blossoms and the party withoiie ac
cord exclaimed: ' What pretty
girls and flowers.''
The party who came ln re direct
from Hilo was in charge of John C.
Lane. Then- also came Senator W.
O. Smith, Beprcscntative A. I.
Castro and L. L. MeCandlcss. Civil
Engineer llollyday, U. S. N., with
Mrs. llollyday are also included in
the party.

Iot among the other great works of
national defense here. This fai t is

Judge Woodruff
Won't Interfere.
Honolulu, September y. Mrs.
Mary Atcherlcy was before Judge
Woodruff again this morning jwith
a plea that he allow her a rehearing
of the habeas corpus matter which
was decided against the petitioner
on Saturday. She brought forward
the fact that neither she mr the
doctor had mom y to hire a lawyer
and that since she was not permitt
ed bv the Territorial officials to see
her husband sin-was unable to make
out the WlitS which Were needed to
bring her ease before the Sujn me
Court of Hawaii.
Her request for a rehearing was
granted on her verbal petition by
Judge Woodruff who heard the mat
ter in chambers, Attorney General
C B. Ileinenway being present.
After the facts had been set forth
Judge Woodruff held to his fornn r
decision dismissing the writ. He
stated that on account of the fact
that it was complained that a 'Terri
torial official was not acting projx-r-ly
in refusing her permission to see
her husband, it was all the more
his duty to reter lu-r to the terri
torial courts as the matter was one
for them and not for the Federal
jurisdiction. Only in ease that
peculiar urgency could be shown
would the Federal courts have a
right to interfere with the local
jurisdiction, according to the judge.
He, advised Mrs. Atcherlcy to take
the matter before one of the Circuit
judges and she immediately started
for Judge De Bolt "s court to place
the matter in his hands.
Mrs. Atcherlcy and Attorney
Harrison have had a tailing out ac
cording to Mrs. Atcherley's state
llielit before . I lldge Woodruff', as he
gave her advice which she distrust
ed and for this reason .she is without
an attorney. Star
