"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.

"I Cannot Sit Down to the
Table Without Being
Thankful to Tanlac," Says
Little Seattle Woman.
"I am now able for the first time
in years to eat a hearty meal without
I suffering afterwards, and I can't sit
down to the table without feetlng
(thankful to Tanlac." declared Mrs.
Pearl Finety of 4536 Eighth avenue,
Seattle, Wash., recently.
L "Ever since I can remember I have
I been a sufferer from Indigestion. I
I never had any appetite scarcely and
my stomach was so disordered that
(everything I ate caused gas to form.
which bloated me up and almost cut
off my breath. 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
