NEWSPAPER MEN TO GATHER AT ASTORIA FOR CON VENTION". "Incompetence and Rottenness In Official Circles V'nbelievable," Is Message Sent by Friend. HONOLULU. T. H., Aug. 4. (By Mail.) Arthur A. Greene, former Portland. Or., newspaperman is in volved in the outbreak of the natives against the governor in American Samoa according to word brought here today on an Oceanic liner by Chris William Jensen. Jensen, a marine engineer, went to Pago Pago on the Ketch Ajax, ,the boat on which Mr. Ureene and his wife sailed from here. , Jensen eald that as a result of the native troubles, Greene is under surveillance by the naval authorities there for his actions as adviser to the" natives in their attempts to se cure an improvement of conditions. Greene's wife wa formerly Miss . Oretchen A. Falke of Honolulu. She has some Saraoan blood and her grandfather owns extensive copra plantations there. s Guard Stands at Door. "Greene, who was living in the quarters of Mrs. Greene's uncle, a naval officer at Pago Pago, was ordered out by Governor Terhune, against whom the natives are revolt ing," said Jensen. "He vacated the house and went to a hotel. A naval guard was placed at the door to watch his movements. He was being watched up to the time I sailed." It appears that ill feeling on the part of the natives of American .Samoa developed against Governor Terhune and the naval administra tion of Tutuila and culminated in the stoning of the governor's house by angry Samoans. The report from Samoa is that Lieutenant-Commander Creed H. Boucher arrived in Samoa two months ago to become captain of the naval yard there and. created a stir among the natives by charg ing maladministration. He demanded the dismissal of all civilians and the employment of navy help with Samoan aisslstants- Natives Demand Inquiry. Boucher is reported by the admin istration qf Samoa as having posed as a friend of the natives. At any rate he is on board the Oceanic liner and is reported to have been recalled on the advice of Governor Terhune. But prior to Boucher's departure chiefs of Tituila passed resolutions requesting his return to Samoa and demanding an investigation of de partmental affairs. On board the Oceanic liner is aliso a petition signed by more than 200 chiefs of Tutuila addressed to Presi dent "Wilson asking for investiga tion and relief of present conditions. friends of Arthur Greene here have received a message, brought by Jen son to avoid censorship by naval authorities. The message readis: "My mail is being censored as are my wireless messages. I am accused of stirring up -a revolt among the natives. It is a huge joke the in competence and rottenness here in official circles are almost unbeliev able." Arthur A. Greene was for several years dramatic editor of The Orego nian. Ho also is well known in newspaper circles of other Pacific coast cities from British Columbia to southern California, having worked at one time or another In nearly all of the large places. Advices from San Francisco yester day were to the effect that Commander Terhune had been removed from his post, as naval governor of Samoa on orders from Washington. An officia Inquiry into the conduct of the ad ministration of the islands is said to be pending. Captain Waldo B. Evans, commander of the dreadnought Wyo ming, stationed at San Pedro, has been ordered to Samoa to relieve Com mander Terhune as governor. He i expected to leave within three weeks. iFEJSKS FOR DIVORCE ANDERSON, CHARGED WITH MATE'S DEATH, DEFENDANT. r....... ......... t - - ; m . st ?! X T ' I - , i f Arthur A.

I had intense pains in the pit of my stomach, a bad taste in my mouth and severe headaches, and was so dizzy at times I had to sit down or catch hold of something to keep from falling. My nerves were so unstrung and I was so restless I hardly knew what It was to get a good night's sleep. I lost weight con tinually and got so weak almost any little exertion would tire me out. I took a great many different kinds of . medicine, but was never able until I got tanlac to get any relief. "But my appetite picked up and I got to feeling better almost as soon as I began taking Tanlac. and by the time I had taken three bottles I had gained ten pounds in weight.. I can now eat just anything and everything I want and never feel a touch of in digestion. I no longer have that bad taste in my mouth and am never trou bled with headaches, dizziness or shortness of breath. My nerves have grown calm and steady and my sleep at night is sound and restful. My strength has increased until it's no trouble for me to do my housework, and I feel good all the time. It's just the simple truth to say. Tanlac has relieved me of all my troubles and I can't think of anything too good to say in praise of it." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv.
