E. Hall was an early caller at the County
Jail this morning, and remained in their
cell for long time. Sheriff Ege and his
men were at work all last night and were
still on the tran of more evidence this
morning
My theory from the start has been that
Blixt was the man who did the shooting" :"
the Sheriff said. "Blixt Is a tough case"
WAS Blixt the man who went riding
with Miss Ging?"
The Sheriff looked steadily at his ques-
toner for moment. and then replied ::
"Blixt was the one who did the shooting"
The Sheriff in ransacking the Ozark
flats found many things that would be of
value in bringing the murderer and his ac-
complies to their deserts. One of these
was a white handkerchief with several
imprints of bloody fingers, as if it had
been used in wiping up small flecks of
blood. The handkerchief was small, of
quite fine texture, probably belonging to

day confessed that he. with Edward Jor-
dan. murdered A. D. Barnes. whose man.
gled body was found in French

told him to get few drinks and be back
to work at o'clock that night When he
reappeared Jordan asked him TO carry out
shipping g-case, and in SO doing some
blood from the box ran out into jerseys
sleeve. He asked Jordan what that
meant, and the latter told him there was a
dead man in the box and that he had bet

kept silent until the terrors of the Sweat
box" wrung the story from him.
They were employees of Barnes and the
motive for the crime is thought to have
been rivalry between Jordan and Barnes
for the chief janltorship of the Hiawatha
building, which position the murdered
man held. Jordan being the first assistant.
Jordan has exhibited remarkable coolne So

Geissenhainer, who has been appointed
chairman # the House Committee on Ma
val Affairs to succeed Mr.. Cummings, who
resigned from Congress, is an advocate of
the bsttle-shiD at an adjunct to our naval
strength. The battle ship versus the
cruiser has recently excited warm contro-
versy among naval authorities. This has
been emphasized by Secretary Herberl's
recent recommends that several new
baltle-ships may be authorized by Con-
gress. The battle-ship is a ponderous
fighting machine, while the cruiser is a
swift and trim ship. quickly maneuvered
in q fight. About the relative merits of
the TWO there is wide difference of opin-
ion among authorities.
''We need them BOTH" said Mr.. Gels
seDhailer. For, while one has some ad-
vantages over the other, they are both
good in their respective fields"
Mr.. GeiSsenhainer was asked If the sink
ing Of the crack British batlle-ship Vic
tora had not weakened the advocacy of
that class of vessels.
NO." he said, there is the possibility
of accident to the strongest OF ships"
Mr.. Geissenhainer was asked why 1t
was that japan had won victories with
her cruisers, while China had been de-
feated with her battle-ships.
THAT shows" said he. "that we need
cruisers also. But Japan would certainly
have not been weakened il she had had

A GOODBYE TO THE OCEANIC,
She Is to be Sent to England, to be
Practically Rebuilt.
Will Not Make Another Round Trip
She IL to DE Made speedy-The
COPtic Will be Her Successor.

The Oceanic will not be in this
port again, en- route TO the States,
for some time. After making her
Chinese and japanese ports next
month, she will proceed to England
through the Suez Canal to be prac-
tically rebuilt. Her cabins will be
reitted, her engines taken out and
replaced by powerful machines
that will be expected to drive the
vessel at the rate Of from IS to IS
knots an hour. After the Oceanic
has left, the Gaelic and Belgic will
follow to undergo the same altera-
tions.
The Coptic, which will substitute
the Oceanic, and possibly remain
on the run permanently, is an ex-
ceptionally fine craft and can lead
the Canadian Pacific liners lively
race. Her dimensions are not very
different from those of the Belgic
and Gaelic, she being only ten feet
longer and two feet broader of
beam. She was built in 1881 by
Harlan & Wolff of England, and is
a very much faster vessel than the
Oceanic. The latter was built at
Belfast.
The Coptic is built entirely of
steel. She has three decks and
seven watertight bulkheads. Her
gross tonnage is 44SS tons.
The Coptic registers $50 nominal
horsepower, or fifty horsepower
more than the Oceanic. Her speed
is about II knots.
Men who claim to know some
thing about the Oceanic say that
she only averages about II knots,
and the tourists leaving Japan and |
China wait for the Canadian boats !
rather than travel in her.
The Oceanic is commanded by
Captain w. HI. Smith, who will
probably assume command of the
Coptic.
The White Star Company char
tiers the Oceanic, Belgic and Gaelic
to the Southern Pacific, a big
charter being paid. 1t is under
stood that there will no difference

A YOUNG WIFE.
Dismissed on a Charge of Truancy
Preferred by Her Mother.

The only interesting case in the
District Court yesterday was a
charge of truancy against a native
girl named Kanoka. Her mother
took the stand and informed the
Court that the girl, who is but four
teen years of age, ran away from
home to join her husband. 1t
seems that the pair were married
last week without the mothers con-
sent and now she is trying to sepa-
rate them. The Court discharged
the young wife.
Lung Kee was dismissed on a
charge of selling goods without a
license. Since his arrest he has

WHERE SETTLERS ARE GOING IN.
Material Development Bounding
Forward in Kona, Hawaii.
Superior Climate and soil-Communities
sPringing Up-The COnee Boom.
Grand scenery-NoveI Echo.

John NJ. Vivas, who returned by
the Hall yesterday, is filled with
enthusiasm for North Kona and the
entire island of Hawaii. He is
warm in praise of the climate and
possibilities for cultivation and elo-
quent in urging road construction.
Tremendous progress has been
made on the large island. Mr..
Vivas mentions a locality seven
miles by fourteen which he rode
over ten years ago and again last
week. In 1884, there was not a
foreigner on this territory. Now
there are more than two hundred
families with improved properties.
Coffee culture seems to have riv-
eted the attention of everybody.
The Hall brought an unusually
heavy shipment. Land is being
subjected everywhere. Coffee trees
are being set out in all the gulches
and on the lower hills. All sorts
of experiments are being tried. No
coffee is going to waste this year.
Cinnamon, natives and children
are gathering every berry.
Kailua, Mr.. Vivas reported as
delightful resort. He recommends
the elevations, where a marked
climatic change is greatly enjoyed.
From one peak near Kailua may
be seen Kilauea, Mauna Loa and
the island of Maui. This makes
an impressive panorama.
In the Hualalai mountains there
is a peculiar crater that tourists
usually miss. 1t is very clearly
defined and has a circumference of
two miles. Here is an echo phe-
nomenon. Standing at any place |
on the circle and sending out a |
sound, it is quickly back on several |
routes. The echo is second only to |
Sam Andrews private echo that |
answers questions and tells for
tunes.
"Of an island like Hawaii" says
Mr.. Vivas, Every little can be
earned excepting by & trip back
rom the coast. The way people
ire going in cannot be appreciated
n Honolulu. Men are busy in
very direction with development
york."
