REPORT ON HAWAIIAN ISLANDS Committee of .Wliieli He Is Member Will Meet November 12, and Rad ical Clin litres in Administration Arc to Be Recommended. ""Wish I could remain longer In Port land," said Senator Mitchell yesterday, "but Congressional business calls me to "Washington! My stay has been a very pleasant one, and I regret that It has to be so short. But I shall return after the end of the session. That's not very far away. Adjournment will come in March, provided the President shall not call an extra session." The Senator will leavo tonight. His stay has been less than two -weeks long. Ho camo to Portland from the Hawaiian Islands, where the committee of the Sen ate on Porto Rico and Pacific Islands, of which he Is chairman, conducted inves tigations. Mr. Mitchell has been closely pressed by politicians since his return, and it is rumored that his departure has come thus soon in order that he may escape from their solicitations and avoid participating in their squabbles. "My committee has collected a large supply of information to present to Con gress," resumed Mr, Mitchell. "We have now to digest that information and to prepare our report. To do this will take some time. The committee will meet at "Washington November 12, and will get down to work about the middle of the month. So you see, we will have only about three weeks for our work before Congress convenes. What form our recommendations will take I amnot pre- pareu 10 say. uut our report wm oe the basis of a number of radical changes In the government of the Hawaiian Is lands. The laws there are defective very defective. "We reached the islands in the midst of a number of boodle scan dals. Improvements are needed In the organic law of the territory. It Is now a highly centralized government, without that closely-connected system of admin istration which is needed for its good operation. The territory has no depart ments of government to correspond to th'tse of our counties or cities. Every thing is under the Governor and the Sec retary of the Territory, who are appoint-e-I by the President. But thes are only fi-w of the details of our investigation." S rator Mitchell has a collection of ji " art's taken of him when he was in IT.r. .di. At the reporter's request he IrougM them forth. One of them showed liim attired in the native flower garb, whkl visitors to the islands frequently d n for a pose before the camera. A glance at the souvenir suggested the c,j'.'ction whether Hawaii was a good place- in which to live. "A very beautiful place," responded the So:vitor. "Looks like Paradise. But I shouldn't wish to live there. The climate is enervating to a native of the North ern latitudes. It's in the tropics, you know." Senator Mitchell would not consent to be drawn out on the special session ques tion. "It is indeed an Interesting sub ject," said he, "but I have been at home so little that I am not closely enough acquainted with the situation to express an opinion." The Senator tonight will go "to Tacoma, where resides his oldest daughter, Mrs. William O. Chapman. He will then visit his son at St Paul. John H. Mitchell, Jr. Thence he will go to see his second daughter, Mrs. J. P. Fawcett, at Canton. O. Anotlier daughter, Mrs. Francis Hayt Griffin, lives in New York. After a short visit with her he will proceed to Washington. cousin, a marquise diamond rlngr and trinkets. The will directs that girl chums of the deceased be given certain silver pieces. The rent and residue of the estate is devised to Carrie- Flelschner and Liille Hexter. Marcos G. Flelschner and Abra ham Li. Hexter are named .as executors without bonds. Miss Stern died in Yel lowstone Park last August, while travel ing. Ben Stern, of New York, and Henry Stern were her brothers. ASTORIA UNIONS THRIVE J. P. Welch. Addresses Federated Trades Council on Tlieir Strength. The Federated Trades Council was hon ored last night by a visit from the first vice-president of the State Federation of Labor, J. F. Welch, of Astoria. In his address to the assembly, he spoke" in encouraging terms of the outlook of or ganized labor, and said that in Astoria the growth had been phenomenal. "Some of the unions," said he, "are taking in as many as 20 new members at every meeting, and some of them even take in so many 4hat they have to hold extra sessions during the week to initiate all of them. One of the strongest is the Millworkers' Union, and with the exception of five or six, the town is fully MISSING GIRL FOUND Little Viola Coiteux Located Near Aurora, WALKED AND RODE 26 MILES.

"Everybody in Weiser is running for office," was the ready response made by George" Falligan. a stockman, of that place, who is well known throughout the Northwest as the former owner of a brew ery at Republic.

"I have only been there 14 months, and nobody can get a nomination unless be went to Idaho about 1863." "How is that railroad into the Seven A HIS LATEST PHOTOGRAPH, TAKEN IX HONOLULU. organized. We have not as many or as large unions as there are in Portland, but there is a larger percentage of the working people union men. In Astoria we have 17 different labor organizations, and all of them are in a thriving condi tion. We have sent in all about $1200 for the relief of the mlneworkera, and we always stand ready to help any union cause." The meeting of the council, aside from the address of Mr. Welch, was taken up entirely with routine work. Five hundred dollars addition to the relief fund for the containers was reported. It-was also reported that another ad dress would be given by J. T. Morgan on "Justice." It will be at the Second,Bap tist Church, and an Invitation from Rev. W. E. Randall, pastor, was read, request ing the members of the council to be present. The Water Front Federation has moved its headquarters to 127& First street, and will hold its meetings each Monday night. CAYLEY'S WOUND FATAL. Butte Sinn Allepred to Have Been Shot by Editor Passes Away. BUTTE, Mont. Oct. 24.-Dr. H. A. Cayley, who It Is alleged was shot by Editor J. W. Kelley, of the Inter-Mountain, on the night of October 11, died to day. Kelley has been confined in jail for some time and must now face a charge of murder. His hearing Is set for had walked most of the way, but with an occasional "lift" by a passing farmer she managed to reach the farm house of Henry Scholl Wednesday night. She told Scholl a strange story of having been kidnaped by a woman, and .having ef fected her escape, and although neither Scholl nor his mother credited the tale, they took care of .her until yesterday, when they received the newspapers which gave an account of her disappearance. Scholl then notified her father that she had been found, and Mr. Coiteux started for Aurora on the night train. He will return home with the girl today. From circumstances it appears that Viola deliberately ran away from home. She did not attend school Monday, and on Tuesday she feared a rebuke from her school teacher. She left her home early in order to be present before the bell was sounded, but about 9 o'clopk she was seen on the Section Line road some dis tance south of South Mount Tabor. Be yond was found the print of a girl's shoe, apparently, so her father says, about the size she wore. Then there were indi cations that she had concealed herself in a deserted shack, so as to escape the observation of people who were passing by on the road. It was near this shack that the spoon which her mother had placed in her lunch basket was discov ered on Wednesday. After leaving the shack it is probable that she followed the old Milwaukio road, which passes Multnomah Hall, and connects 'with the Oregon City road at Clackamas station. The road is not very heavily traveled, and it would have been easy fdr her to have escaped observation, for brush SENATOR MITCHELL AND HIS COLLEAGUES ON THE HAWAIIAN COMMISSION. Burton of Kansas.

There was no money to pay the grading contractors, so "they mortgaged their plant and set tled with the men for as little as they would-ake. It turned out to be like the 'hot-air' line at Republic, which had a grade tlvu feet wide, but when the snow melted in the Spring was not even that wide. The track was laid and the men were paid, after being kept waiting sev eral months, but the only engine was run into the Kettle RIver the first trip and has never been raised.

Madame Labonte. the woman in the case, has not yet been found, but it is suspected she is somewhere on the Coast. Both Kelley and Cayley" were two of Butte's most prominent and respected citizens and were well known in the Northwest. "Will of Selinn Stern.

The little girl i probably walked most of the way to Aurora. She told the Aurora people that she was occasionally given a ride by farmers, but the only person with whom she is known to have ridden is Walter Smith, who lives near Oregon City. She told Smith that she going to visit friends at Oregon City, but as he had troubles of his own to attend to he did not ask her any questions. He said she looked very tired, and the mud on her shoes Indicated that she had walked some distance over the road. She carried a lunch basket, which answered the description of the one Viola carried when she left home. Her father and Detective Sam Simmons traced her as far as this point, and they were still following the trail when they were in formed that she had been found. How Viola reached Scholl's place is not known. There is no trace of her wanderings frqm the time she 4left Smith's wagon at Oregon City until the telegram of her discovery near Aurora was received. When she called at the farmhouse Wednesday night she told Mrs. Scholl that she had been kidnaped by a strange woman while she was on her way to school Tuesday morning.

The story which Viola tells of the kid naping is not credited by her schoolmates In the South Mount Tabor school, or by the residents oiT'ilarfsfleld Addition.

Mount Tabor school she had been re- j duced a notch. She fiad fold her com- 1 panlons that the studies were But play for her, and as she was of a very sensi tive disposition.
