ago ambassador from England to the
United -States, . distinguished states
man, scholar and author, at one-thirty
o'clock tbl afternoon talked at length
, n hl Joy at again seeing Honolulu
but refused absolutely to discuss ques
tions, of political, import.
ul never have discussed political
questions." he said, "and there is ho
reason why I should begin at this
late date. YbU may say for me, how
over that I am delighted to return to
Xtur beautiful city. Iwaa here for
tile first time thirty years aco anfl I
have always carried with me ft recol
lection of tho beauty at the place."
Mr. Bryce, who is accompanied by
Mrs, Bryce, intends to leave on the
- Mongolia for Shanghai when she sails
- 9X ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
After a tour ;pf China and Japan, dur
ing which time the eminent diplomat
wUl re-study the customs of these two
countries, Mr. Bryce plans to return
to England la the fall. .
"What have you to say about the
California anti-alien law?. What is
your opinion of the suffragists in
Englana? What do ytw think of free
trade and the new Democratic admin
istration? Would you care to say
anything about your successor, Sir
Cecil Spring Rlcer These and a
number 01 others were the questions
put to Mr. Bryce. by the representa
tive of lue Star-Bulletin.
Only to one of them would the for
' mer ambassador venture an answer.
"Sir Cecil , Spring Rice is an old
friend of mine," ue said In response
to the last interrogation, "I hold him
in the highest esteem and I have the
greatest . regard for his ability. Cer
tainly, you msy say that much for
: me." :. . j
answer questions he was rapid and
keen In asking information regarding
Honolulu H' showed tf great UtEr
est in the conditions of labor In the
. islands, in the, conditions of the sugar
crops this past year.
'V "I visited Honolulu thirty years
ago," he' said, "and at that time went
to the volcano. There is not a sight
in the world equal to tha,t surely. As
for Honolulu, I consider it the most
beautiful place In all of. the islands
of the sea. I look forward to mystay
here with a great deal of pleasure.
No, I never talk on subjects of politi
cal Importance." ' -
Mr. .and Mre. Bryce. were met at
the wharf by. J. B. R, Rentiers, Brit
ish consul to Hawaii, Governor Frear,
t Charles R. Hemenway and Sidney
Jordan of the promotion committee.
The party Immediately motored to the
University Club where a luncheon in
bonor of the distinguished visitor was
served. It is planned later in the af
ternoon to visit the Bishop Museum
and other points of interest on the is
land. A trip to the Pali will form part
of the afternoon's entertainment
DIVERSIFIED RACES
IN THE TERRITORY
IS BRYCE'S THEME
That Hawaii presents some of the
most interesting and curious prob
lems relative to the ultimate fusion
of the diversified races that go . to
- make up its population, and that the
. solution of luese problems will be of
Interest to the entire world, was the
main theme of a delightful seven
minute talk made by Retiring Ambas
sador James Bryce to members of the
University Club this aflernoon. In
polished, easy, flowing sentences that
made listening a real pleasure, Bryce
.. urged university men of scientific
bent to pay close attention to thede-
, velopraent of-'these islands, and to
record the physical and sociological
changes that must come with the
mingling of half a dozen races.
Owing to delays in docking the Mqn
golia it was not until ten minutes to
2 o'clock that Bryce arrived at the
club, escorted by President Charles
Hemmenway. of the University t"u.
v ho with Governor Frear had wel
comed the : distinguished diplomat.
Nearly a hundred members and their
gtiests were on hand to hear the for
mer British ambassador speak. Real
izing that many of his auditors were
stealing time from their business,
Bryce readily agreed to speak before
luncheon. :
"I am very sorry to have been the
involuntary cause of ye.ir hunger," he
said, "but circumstances over which
1 had no control kept me from being
with you earlier. It is a great pleas
ure for me to be with you today, for
I have visited most of the universities
which I see are represented here, ami

Speaking of former recollections of
Hawaii- All pleasant onesBryoe said
that he wa revlsitihfc the place after
thirty years, and that while he had
many friends here then, but few of
them now remained.
"I was afraid that the growth of
the city might have spoiled its charm,'
he laid "but 1 find that you have been
able to preserve- the natural beauties
while expanding industrially. ! There
Is no more beautiful place in the world
than Honolulu, unless I: be Hilo, and
no more beautiful place than Hilo, un-
lew it bp Honolulu."
"Vbu have an extraordlnarilly inter
esting set of problems. In Hawaii,"
said the diplomat, turning to; more
serious subjects. ;
"Never before in so email an area
and under such ideal conditions for
development and observation, has
there been such a mixture of the
races. When I was nere before there
were a number of Chinese and some
Portuguese, but no Japanese Now
you have numbers of Japanese, Span
lards, Koreans, Filipinos and ! other
races. It is only fecefltljr that we
have come to realize that the Cider
races of the Orient have much to
teach us of art and to some extent the
solution of social problems, and pos
sibly here in Hawaii you may learn
much from the representatives of
these nations.

MRS.HAROLD FULLER TELLS
OF SUFFERING IN THE

Flood, fire, death in the wake of
destruction, telegraph lines swept

Irresistable waters, these and a few

In the very center of .the district

Edward F. Fewall, now loading at Ka
hulul. filed a protest in the officp of
the shipping commissioner this morn
ing asking that aid be given them in
recovering their wages.
The Sewall arrived off Kahului last
Saturday frcm San Francisco, and is
claimed by the skipper to have been
manned 'by a creen cre w. As the re
sult of their ignorance of seamanship.
t Is said, the shin went on the reef
near the entrance of the harbor, where
she remained for ' twenty-four" hours
before being refloated by the aid of
tugs. -According to the story told by
Captain Quick, he ordered sail to bp

perform this duty, he ordered the an
chor out. A strong breeze was blow
ing at the time and the lightly-laden
vessel settled fast on the coral. The
vessel was taken off with no damage
done.
The skipper's story of the ground
ing of the vessel is absolutely refuted

HERALDED AS
Ugaku Hamaguchi Reported to
Have Worked ; Several
Marvelous Cures
Reports of sensational cures made
here within the ! past three days by
Ugaku Hamaguchi, heralded by many
Japanese as a second Christ, have
wrought thousands of local Japanese
to a high pitch of excitement and as
a result, A there are daily gatherings
at the Mochitsuki club of a remark?

teen hundred years' ago when a young
man from Nazareth performed mir

powers learned from the occult East

not quieted, the excitement nor ex
posed the man as a fakir or merely
a clever hypnotist and sleight-of-hand
performer. On the contrary, the dem
onstration this morning a: the club
house on Kalia road, was attended by
several hundred Japanese, and zbo
were treated in four hours.
- Such wonderful feats as straighten
ing crooked teeth by a few mystic
passes of the hand, driving, disfigur
ing blotches from the face, curing
rheumatism, driving delusions from
the brain of the mentally-unbalanced,
are attributed to Hamaguchi since
his arrival in Honolulu. Men who
this morning saw the Japanese pa
tients undergo treatment confessed
themselves astounded and perplexed.
Under Another's License. ,';
Hamaguchi arrived on the Persia
ncoipanied by his wife, who acts
mifc translator, and . Dr. ,Uyemura. a
IHonolulu physician who returned af
ter an absence In Japan. . it. is unaer
Uyemura's license that Hamaguchi
is now carrying on his treatment, ac
cording to statements made today.
Hamaguchi Is a famous man in'hls
own country. There his ability, of
whatever nature it may be, has won
him the name of "the second Osha
kasama" Oshakasama being the high
est priest of Buddhism. He has prac
ticed his occult profession for years,
and It is told that he : has been ar
rested as a fakir several hundred
times but has never been, convicted
of crime or misdemeanor. The Ja
panese say that for many years he has
been going about over Japan perform

that are credited to him here.

of . the sugar tariff situation since yesterday's action by the house of

"Bill has passed in the house unamended. The senate will most prob

ID THE NEW
The legislative error, It appears, oc
curred in the failure to thoroughly
amend the final clause of the act, pro
viding for the date on which it shall
take effect.
Section 3 of the Act of 1909, dealing
with the ; special income fax, states
that-the first period shall begin imme
diately preceding January 1. IIjOD.
Section 6 of the same a t says: "This
Act shall be in effect from the elate of
its approval and relate retrospectively
to give full effect to the provisions
herein contained with respect to taxes
for the first taxation . period here
under." . The latter clause, here quoted, fa
enacted without change into the new
law. Corporation representatives ar
feue that it means the law shall affect
th'e previous year, and that therefore
they can be taxed only 1 per cent for
1.3.1 i;.;. However, the 1I2 tax assess
ment was made under the old law, and
a large part of the levy already hap
been paid. The intent is clear, argues
the attorney general, that the law is
not Intended to affect fessessments al
ready made and he does not think the
taxpayers who come under its provi
sions will be likely to carry their
doubts into court.
