RALLY IN HJ-LO.
"America has given us the privilege
to make the choice for ourselves by
providing the plebiscite. It is up to the
people of Hawaii to torn to God and
leave off drinking," was the opening
statement made by Xakookoo at the
prohibition meeting at the Haili church,
Hawaii, last .Sunday.
A number of prominent Hawaiian
speakers were present and addressed
the audience on the evils of drink.
Among them were Messrs. Nakookoo,
Mossman. Drahnis, Smith and Desha.
Rev. August Drahms was the first
speaker. He said that next month a
great question was to be decided, which
had been forced upon the Hawaiians
bv necessity. Before the foreigner
came to Hawaii the Hawaiians were a
temperate people, and they were now
to decide whether they intended to re
main so or not.
A majority of the States of the
T'nion had decided that liquor was a
cure, and had become dry. Tt was sig
nificant that fonr-fifths 'of the States
in the South had turned to prohibition;
this was a strong indictment against,
the liquor traffic.
There were several wnvs of legislat
ing nil this great issue, 'there was high
license, making the license practically
so high that it eliminated the smaller
saloons, and limited the evil to the so
cal'e.l " respeetaT'Ie " saloons. That, it
could be readily seen, was no cure, for
there would be as much drinking as
before, even if there were only two
"respectable" saloons that was a
misnomer, for there were no respect
able saloons. It was like placing a
plaster on the body to cure heart
disease. The other method of fighting
the liquor evil was by means of prohi
bition measures, by which a State could
p'ohit it the manufacture and use of
intox-ants. Now, if the use of in
toxicants were a crime, the question
arose whether it was best to use mere
superficial treatment or to resort to a
"nmpletr eradication. That it was a
crime could be seen from the expres
sions of men like Lincoln, and by the
United States Supreme Court.

All Honolulu celebrated Kamehameha
Day yesterday, the weather being per
fect, and the varied program of observ
ance in memory of the great Hawaiian
conqueror was carried out without an
incident to mar the anniversary. It
was the same kind of weather which
made the celebrations in monarchical
times so successful days when the
ruler of the Islands joined in with the
people to give homage to the great
Napoleon of the Pacific.
The entertainments yesterday were
varied, ranging from Sunday scho
picnics and yachting cruises to base
ball, golf and polo matches during the
day and squared-eircle contest in the
evening, with luans, replete with Hawa
iian delicacies of imu-baked pig and
fish and kulolo, at all hours of the day
and night. It was a day when all Ho
nolulu seemed to be moving on pleasure
bent a day when the street cars wer-J
filled with patrons, and hundreds of
pleasure seekers motored into the val
leys and around the Island, while a
multitude sought recreation at the bath
ing beaches and in the parks.
Amongst the Hawaiians the dav was
begun at daylight, when the statue'of
Kamehameha was decorated. Members
of Hawaii Chapter, No. 1, Order of Ka
mehameha, assembled at their hall and
marched to the Judiciary building,
bearing leis and palm branches, all of
which were artistically drapod about
the statue, mere was much chanting
of the genealogy and praising of the
virtues of the conqueror, the ceremony
attracting a multitude of people of Ha
waiian birth, while tourists found the
scene one of the most interesting they
have recorded by kodak. All day long
Hawaiians made pilgrimages to the
stai'tv-, depositing floral tributes at the
bas4 of the pedestal.
The time-honored annual picnic of
Central Union Sunday school was again
a feature in the grounds of Oahu Col
lege, where hundreds of young people
were entertained throughout the morn
ing and early afternoon by their elders,
when basketball and baseball and all
kinds of games were played, soda water
dispensed in unlimited quantities, a
lunch served to about "twelve hundred
people and a good time had by all.
Other picnics were held at Moana
Lua and Tear Harbor, the shaded lawns
of Mr. Damon's estate affording much

ST. PAUL, June 12. GitTord Pinchot
and James R. Garfield were the guests
last night of the St. Paul Roosevelt
Club at a banquet marked with en
thusiasm.' H. Albert, president of the
club, in welcoming the guests of honor,
referred to them as leaders of an as
yet unnamed new party in American
polities.
The inference was plain that former
President Roosevelt is expected by the
St. Taul insurgents to lake the leader
ship of a party to be made up from
the ranks of the Republican insurgents
and the Democrats who sympathize
with the insurgent principles.
Shaw Scores Insurgents.
CHICAGO, June 12. Leslie Shaw,
former secretary of the treasury, in a
speech last night scored the insurgent
wing of the Republican party for their
effort to bring about another revision
of the tariff, to lower the schedule of
duties. Be declared that the "stand
pat" policy of the Administration was
based on the only logical principles
upon which the , government could
stand. He stigmatized the South as
being ignorant of the political ques
tions of the day in their stand for
Democracv.

IITLO, June (i. The Herald says:
The beauties of the crater of Kilauea '
are being sung by the members of the',
McRae stock company, who, after com-
deting their engagement at the Gaiety1
Theater on Saturday night, packed up
their trunks and were all ready for the
vacation trip on Sunday morning. The
party was a jolly one and filled two big
automobiles to the limit. After lunch
at the Volcano House the party went
down to the crater, some going on foot,
some by auto ami some on horseback.
All hail a good chance to see the vol
cano, both by daylight and by dark, and
several members of the party were so
enthusiastic that thev remained till
nearlv daybreak watching the varied
forms outbreak.
Miss Margaret Oswald was one of
the most enthusiastic, and showed her
appreciation by being the last to leave
the pit. In speaking of the volcano she
said:
"Do you suppose that T would leave
here without taking in everything there
was to see and without being fullv sat
isfied with the wonder of that boiling
mass of melted rock? The vol'-ano is
one of the chief causes of my coming
to Hawaii. T have wanted to see Ki
lauea for vears, and when Hawaii was
sugges'ed to me I immediately thought
of that and came at once. It is ton
much for me to try to say what I think
of the show- that Madame Pele gave us.
She has the finest stage manager in the
world ba-ked off the boards when it
comes to stage effects. I only wish we
could put en a play and use such a set
ting as that. ' '
Miss Laura Hudson, the clever little
woman who made ;n-h a bit here in
"The Lion and the Mouse," had quite
a d liferent strain. She eaTT:
"It was the greatest thing possible
to sit 'here and watch all those little
devils lumping round. T could see them
very plainly, and row and then a really
big devil would come along and drive
them all awav so that he could have
some fun himself. I coidd see the whole
thing in the costume line horns, f orked
tail and cloven feet. T rever knew
that there were so many little devils in
existence before. It is the greatest
sin-iit I ever expect to see."
Col. Walter S. Schuyler, Fifth Cavalry,
from the homeland. Colonel Schuyler
was named by the war department as
a special military aid to the Chinese
Prince Tsai Ta'o, who first trod Amer
ican soil at Honolulu.
Colonel Schuyler accompanied the
prince and his party through travels
and visits in the United States as Uncle
Sam's special escort. This detail end
ed on May 5, when Prince Tsai Ta'o
departed from New Tork for London.
Conel Schuyler then reported at Wash

An effort to hold a twenty-four hours
go-as-you-pU-ase raee in Honolulu yes
terday and Friday was a fizzle. The
teams apparently couldn't stand the
pace and about fifteen hours after
the start, nearly all the runners were
out of business. Daniel Fahy and his
partner W. Feagler were exceptions.
They stayed with the game to the end
and finished in triumph.
The contest started with two Amer
ican teams, a Portuguese, a Chinese
and a Russian team. It began on Fri
day evening at ten o'clock with ery
lively running by some of the competi
tors, who paid for their spurting efforts
the next day. Yesterday afternoon the
continuous run proposition was aban
doned, and all hands took a lay off,
owing to the heat.
The American team No. 1 consisted
of Nigel Jackson and Pat Walsh. They
led yesteraay morning, and both seem
ed game and willing. But at eighty
four miles and eleven laps, they quit
the game. This was at about seven
o'clock last night.
The Chinese team started out on
Friday night with a whoop, leading all
others. But yesterday C. K. Charlie,
who did the spurting, was nearly use
less, and the team had to retire. Chung
Lung, his associate, did some very
game work, but couldn't handle the
proposition alone, and the team had to
withdraw. When they quit they had
made fifty-seven miles and seventeen
la jis.
The Russian team quit at fifty-three
miles arid seven laps. A specially game
tight was made ly Simeon, a Russian
lad who stayed with the race to the
limit of h;s endurance.
The Portuguese team consisted of A.
Cravia and li. Martin. Both developed
blisters on their feet, being apparently
ill prepared f r the contest, and they
rave up after making only twenty-one

NEW YORK, June 12. The general
committee of the Socialist party has
instituted a national movement in aid
of the Russian laborers in Hawaii, said
to be held in peonage by the managers
of the sugar plantations in the Islands.
The pdans of the Socialists, so far as
they have been matured, is to begin
an independent investigation of the re
ported conditions in Hawaii and to
institute legal proceedings to see that
the Russians secure their rights. They
intend to send an attorney from Los
Angeles to Honolulu, representations
having been made to them by the Ho
nolulu Socialists that it is impossible;
to hire a lawyer in the Islands who
would not be influenced by the sugar
planters and not afraid to carry out
his" full duty to his clients.
Local Socialists have been extremely
busy since the advent of the Russian,
laborers into Hawaii. Prior to Ae
landing of the first Russians, reports
were in circulation of attempts to be
made to induce the Russians not to go
to work. Jacob Kotinsky, territorial
entomologist, was credited with being
at the head of this scheme and steps
were taken to prevent him and others
from approaching the Russians until
after they had beeu passed by the im
migration authorities. Later, Kotinsky
was allowed to resign from his posi
tion and denials were given out that
his retirement and his socialism were
related.
Later, the local Socialists circulated
freely among the new-comers. When
Sheriff Jarrett administered the lesson
with police clubs that the Russians
needed, Joseph 1. Whittle, a leader in
local Socialist circles, who was present
during the Merchant street melee, ex
pressed his opinion very freely con
cerning the police action, stating that
it was "a shame that white men
should be so handled by kanakas."
He announced then that "the people
on the mainland will hear about this."
There is evidently more behind the
misrepresentations that have been made
on the mainland regarding the Rus
sians and the alleged "peonage" than
the vaporings of Yasiliefi' and his fel
low agitators among the Russians.
