FAIRBANKS V7AS GREAT FAVORITE with mwiuns

Former Vice President Received at Honolulu With the Most Enthusiastic Public Welcome. WAS FORCED TO LEAD , THE STRENUOUS LIFE R. G. Leeds Tells of the Great Reception Given the Distinguished Indianian on His Sojourn. (R. G. Leeds.) Honolulu, May 12. During the last three weeks these Islands might well have been called the Fairbanks Islands, rather than the Hawaiian Islands. The former Vice president, who arrived here April 22, was royally entertained practically up to the hour -of his departure yesterday for 'the orient, enroute around the world. With him were Mrs. Fairbanks and their daughter, Mrs. Tlmmons. The latter remains here for a short visit and then returns to Washington. D. 'C, to join her husband, a navy officer, who is returning to the United States 'from a cruise. The Fairbanks party on Its arrival here was welcomed by the governor, committees from both houses of the legislature and of the various business organizations of Honolulu. While here they were house guests of Governor anef- Mrs , Fear. . Showed Strenuosity. During his .comparatively short stay In the islands Mr. Fairbanks gave a splendid exhibition of strenuosity. Shortly after his arrival he was started on a series of f lying trips to the other, islands of the Hawaiian group. First to Kanai, an island lying northwest of Honolulu, generally called the Garden Island on account of the wealth of luxuriant tropical growth it possesses. After - his return from Kanai to Honolulu, with only a brief resting period, he was hurried off on a trip to the islands southeast of here, visiting Hawaii, the "big" island and Manl. On Hawaii he first visited the volcano of Kilanea, the greatest active volcano in the world. From Kilanea, he was taken across thiB Interesting island by automobile to the West coast and there embarked for Manl. On Manl he made the ascent by horseback of the 13,000 feet high, extinct volcano, Haleakala, the largest In, existence. From Manl he returned to Honolulu where, up to the time of his departure yesterday, his time was well taken up making public addresses and in taking interesting trips on this Island, Oahu. Made a Big Hit. Mr. Fairbanks made a great impression upon the people of Honolulu, as has been evinced in articles in the local press and the favorable remarks one ,hears on every side. Before his arrival the old "human icicle" canard was revived. It was soon buried, however, after his arrival, as he won all by the wisdom of his remarks, his genial and far from cold manner and his whole hearted and keen interest in these wonderful and entrancing is- : lands. April brought another Indiana visitor and one who, needless to say, we were very glad to welcome. This was our fellow townsman Mr. Henry Gennett. His visit was primarily in the interest of his business, the Starr Piano Company, for the Starr piano, one of Richmond's greatest products rs everyone knows, Is in good demand In these far off, mid-Pacific islands. My first reminder of borne came shortly after my arrival, when I was going -through the freight warehouses of the Oahu Railroad company and saw there several piano boxes labeled, "Starr Piano, Richmond, Indiana." Although I do not know one piano key from another, the sight of those pianos made me quite homesick for my good, old Quaker City. Mr. Gennett Depart. Mr. Gennett spent four very enjoyable weeks on the islands. Aside from a five days trip to the wonderful volcano of Kilanea, he did not leave Honolulu or Oahu Island. He left on May 3 to rejoin his family in Southern California and it was with deep regret that we witnessed his departure. ,.. I have just heard the story of a very amusing incident in connection with the recent visit of former vice president Fairbanks. While he was staying at the governor's residence a little alx year old nephew of Governor Fear was taken over by his father to be presented to Mr. Fairbanks. Before the meeting, however, the father cautioned the little lad to be very careful in regard to his conduct. To further impress this fact upon the youngster's mind the father explained, "You see, Harold, father looks up to and regards Mr. Fairbanks just as you look up to and regard father." That the little fellow had been much impressed by this warnirg was shown by his very good conduct when he was presented to Mr. Fairbanks. Afterwards when his father was returning home with the boy he turned to him and said, "Father, was that our Heavenly Father?" The two religions of Japan.

Seattle, : Wash., j May 29. The last nail has been driven and the greatest exposition ever attempted by one of the western states is ready for . the opening next Tuesday. At 12:30 President Taft in the white house at Washington will press a gold telegrapher's instrument which will send over the wires to Seattle the signal that the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific . exposition is officially opened. -This will start the wheels of the fair revolving and the event so long anticipate will be . a reality. . Seattle was never more beautiful than it is today in its holiday dress. It is draped ' with bunting from one part of the city to the other and the emblem of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition stands out prominently In the buildings and streets'. Thousands of eager guests await the opening. While most of those in attendance at the opening next Tuesday will be from neighboring states there will be thous-ands-of tourists here from the Atlantic seaboard and the middle west. Immense Affair. Now that the fair Is an accomplished fact those who have watched it

from its inception are realizing for the first time the magnitude and completeness of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. Those who have been actively backing the fair and working night and day in its interests feel justly proud of what they have accomplished, for the show is bound to be a success. The immense resources of the west and Alaska will be brought more forcibly than ever before to the thousands of people who attend the 1909 world's fair. , v As an industrial exhibition it is the last word. Process, rather than product, Is shown and the result is that the manufacturers" building is filled with whirring machinery, demonstrating the way of making instead of the things made. From top to bottom the huge Liberal Arts palace is jammed with miniature factories turning out their wares in full view of the passing crowd. The same Is to be said on the agricultural and horticultural side. In the SAVED DAUGHTER; WILLEDAFORTUME Australian Leaves $425,000 To Man Who Acted as A Missionary. GIVES MEMORIAL CHURCH HE DIRECTS THE ANNUAL EXPENDITURE OF MUCH MONEY AND PURCHASE OF CHIMES AND HYMNS TO BE SUNG. Ottawa, Ont, May 29. David S. of No. 17 Lennox street, Toronto, who recently was remembered in the will of the late W. G. Burn, later of Melbourne, Australia, formerly of Pittsburg, to the amount of $425,000 for having been instrumental in reclaiming his daughter from the slums of Chicago has just received a copy of the will. This codicil was prepared while Burn was in Florida and Is dated June 26, 1908 and sworn to by a notary for the State of Florida. It reads in part: "I hereby declare that this codicil and all bequests therein contained shall only take effect when my estate is being settled at my decease, such estate being made up of gold mines, stocks and railroads and cash in banks throughout the different states of America and Australia, amounting to about $8,000,000. "I direct my executors to pay to David S. Kidd, of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, $425,000 and to my Star of Hope tabernacle memorial to Luck $575,000. I bequeath an endowment fund of $125,000 to buy the site and erect the building and to furnish the same, with $5,000 extra for chimes complete to play the following hymns: "'Blest Be the Tie That Binds.' 'Rock of Ages.' "'Sweeping Through the Gates of the New Jerusalem. " The Holy City.' 'Rescue the Perishing.

Palace of Agriculture Is the story of the resources, developed and undeveloped, of the west and all of fruitful Canada. It Is laid out by county, state and province and there is a pare food show demonstrating the things to eat that may be made of the raw products shown in the other depart ments. Varied Exhibits. All that any other exposition has had to show of these things the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific has to show. The manufactures are different only in that they are down to the minute and more than ever before they are shown in their evolution. The agricultural exhibits are the same as other agricultural exhibits have been except that there are more of them and lands are represented that were never shown before. It is in its Alaska exhibits, its showing from the Orient, its pageant of wonders : from the south seas, the Straits settlements and the whole equatorial sink that the Seattle fair finds its greatest excuse for being. Never before at an Occidental port has there been so mixed a gathering of strange ' peoples; nor has any world's fair had them to show. There

are dozens of strange faces and almost as many different religions. It is safe to say, for a matter of fact, that no exposition ever held has had so much to offer of the picturesque and the strange; certainly none has ever offered educational value of so high a standard. The exposition "atmosphere" is distinctly Oriental. The flags of the Dragon and the Rising Sun make it so, for Japan and China have taken advantage to the full of the opportunity to express their friendship for Uncle Sam and their appreciation of the Pacific's trade possibilities. Japan has one huge building in a beautiful wooded section of the grounds and a whole village down by the shore of Lake Union where the whole romantic life of the race Is lived. Street of Pekin. China has a street of Pekin, showing its banks, business houses, theaters, cafes and whatnot. Siberia has sent a whole village of Eskimo and staff of doctors and nurses and other officials, as Mr. Kidd sees fit to employ. "The said David S. Kidd is the sole trustee and treasurer of the said institution and is to appoint a board of advisers from each Protestant church, ministers and ladies and other good business men. The said building is to be under one roof. All the officials have to live on the premises, board and lodge, at a fixed salary. The balance of $450,000 as an endowment fund." The will also adds that at the death of the wife he bequeaths $1,000,000 more to the Toronto institution. The will adds: "This donation to Mr. Kidd is given by me as a gratification gift for the reclaiming of my daughter after twelve years of a life of shame." HELD FOB FORGERY. Harry Clark, a well known resident of Cambridge City, who until recently was a, conductor on the traction line of the T. H., I. & E. was arrested yesterday afternoon at Cambridge City. He is being held on the charge of forgery. It is claimed he tried to pass a check at Cambridge City to which the name of Clem Gaar, of this city had been forged. Clark is believed to have floated one of these fraudulent checks at Eaton last week. He is being held at the county jail pending his arraignment. IDENTIFY ROBBERS Omaha, Neb., May 20. Fred Tortenson and W. O. Woods have been positively identified by Engineer Mick elJohn and Fireman P Prawl as the men who crawled over the tender of their engine Saturday night and forced them to stop the Union Pacific overland limited. Mickeljohn was especially sure of Tortenson because of several peculiarities In his physical makeup. mMj wife is stodylns; polities." "Is that so? la she making any progress T "Progress!

there are head hunters from Benguet and other little brown brothers from the Philippines, who have never before been given their chance to see their more or less benevolent Uncle Samuel. '; . - .. There is another village of strangers in San Marino, the oldest and tineat of the world's republics. Their "'nation" la only 38 square miles in area but a world of interest, has been gathered there and transferred to Seattle and it makes one of the pictures of the show. All of the essential structures of the exposition have been finished for more than a month.' Many of them were completed before the first of the yearl The only uncompleted work connected with the exposition 'will be the motor boat pavilion, out on Lake Washington, which will not be In demand until August, and the stock show sheds hidden in a forest of fir on the narrow neck which divides Lake Union from Lake Washington. The stock show is to be one of the very late events and, since all construction would be hidden from the exposition proper, the buildings were not begun until after the rush of important work had passed.

The opening ceremonies will be carried forward with much pomp. James Bryce, ambassador from Great Britain and James J. Hill, the genius of the great northwest, have been invited to deliver the opening addresses and the promised presence had added thousands from British Columbia, Alberta and the Saskatchewan to the initial attendance. Innis', Ellery's and Liberati's famous concert bands will be at hand to provide the musical features, and there will be much music, spellbinding and pyrotechnics, to say nothing of the powder that will be burned by the fleets in the bay and out where Fort Lawton guards Puget sound. The city government has made of the exposition opening a semi-municipal affair and the state has done likewise with the result that the dignitaries of the city and the commonwealth will join with the governors of Idaho and Oregon and the representatives from Canada, China and Japan, in making the event wholly renresenlative. WOMAN IN CASE IS REPORTED AS OEAD Mary Ruiz Named in Famous Vanderbiit Divorce. New York, May 29. A report was received from London today that Mary Agnes O'Brien Ruiz, whose name was frequently mentioned in connection with the divorce suit against Alfred Gwynne Vanderbiit, had died there.

When Mrs. Ruiz was sued for a divorce by her husband, Antonio Ruiz, she was represented by the law firm of Hymee, Waytisek & Schoop.

66 The SUMMON A POSSE TO PROTECT THE RAILROAD CREWS (Continued From Page One.) cidedly adverse to the presence of the negro firemen. The thousands of patrons of the Georgia railroad between Atlanta and Augusta were in sympathy with the striking firemen. Every one of the mail trains sent out today carried United States postofflce inspectors, as was the case yesterday, and it was realized that an overt act directed against a member of the crew on one of these trains might result in still further and more serious complications. The postal authorities stated very positively today, however that they did not expect the slightest trouble in the operation of the mail trains. It was due to the positive assurances of the postal authorities last night of protection that Assistant Chief Burgess, of the Brotherhood of Engineers modified his ultimatum to General Manager Scott, to the extent of permitting engineers to operate the mail trains today and unil further notice. Black Fireman Attacked. A negro fireman was badly beaten by white men in the Georgia railroad yards near Augusta this afternoon. One arm was broken. The white men were placed under arrest. Both Sides Make Concessions. At the conclusion of a conference between the commissioner of labor, Mr. Neill. T. J. Scott, general manager of the Georgia railroad, and E. A. Ball, vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, this afternoon. Commissioner of Labor Neill announced that the strike had been declared off, and that telegrams to that effect had been sent to all interested parties. Both , sides made concessions. FLAGS! FLAGS!

No slandering remark can be justly aimed at or fired at the bill of the first part of tne present week at the New Phillips. The three main parts are fine, but at that they don't have very much on the illustrated song. "Down at the Kissing Gate, Kate." The management is trying hard to make the bills symmetrical In every despect and to do this they have had to go to added expense. They have succeeded, however, and the bill this time is and will be pronounced as good as the ones preceding It. Creations of Purpura, first, is an il lusion. The Bemen Duo. 18 minutes in musical comedy, second, is not an illusion, and Gus and Marion Kohl, novelty Jugglers, come in between. They are all good.
