Lagoon

Lagoon
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The report
Of Captain Davis of the United States ship
Montgomery. upon his investigation in
Honduras regarding the killing of the
American. Renton, at Brewers Lagoon,
has just been received at the Navy Depart
ment. The report Is voluminous and is
being carefully sifted by the officials.
Captain Davis made a most careful in
quiry into all of the facts. The conclus-
ion is that the Honduras government is
properly chargeable with the responsible
ity for the affair and has been derelct in
failing to take any steps whatever to
ascertain and punish the perpetrators Of
the crime. Captain Davis, visit awakened
the Honduras officials. and there is now
a fair prospect that justice will be secured
at last. Captain Davis found that the
injury sustained by the Renton estate
amounts to about S38, 900. and the Hon
duras government will be requested to re-
imburse the widow in this amount. 1t

ON A LONELY OCEAN ISLE
Three Men Imprisoned in the South
Pacific

Three Men Imprisoned In the South
SAN FRANCISCO, tsS,''S March 2s.-ro be
imprisoned on desolate guano island
with provisions down to the very lowest
ebb and no immediate prospect of relief,
is not one of the most pleasant expert
ences, and twenty-five men who have es-
capped from such plight can scarcely be
blamed for holding high revel in honor
of their deliverance.
There was just such a revel on the
water front when the schooner Ella John
son sped into port and dropped her
anchor. The Ella Johnson arrived from
the Clipperton Islands and brought up
all but three of the men who were taken
from here some eight months ago under
contract to handle guano. The three
men there are simply "hoding the fort"
for their employers under promise of
extra pay. There is small likelihood that
many of the men who were taken off the
island and brought back to civilization
will be in a hurry to sign for another ex-
pedition to that desolate region. Judging
from the accounts they gave of their ex
perience. They were located on one of
the islands nearly eight months. and
during that time never saw anything to
remind them that there were other
human beings in the world except them
selves, except upon the two occaS ions the
schooner Valiant touched there to load
guano and leave provisions.
The last time she was there several of
the men asked to be taken back to San
Francisco, but Captain Errat said he had
explicit instructions from his employers
not to take any of them from the island.
They were sick, but he said he could not
disobey his orders. The Ella Johnson
took more time on her recent trip down
to the islands than was intended, and that
fact gave the men reason to become seri-
ously alarmed. Their provisions were
about out, and they were compelled to
economize to the most exacting degree.
They say that but a day s provisions were
left when the Ella Johnson hove in sight.
Several of them say they are afflicted with
scurvy as the result of their hardships.
Captain Smith of the Ella Johnson re-
ports having had most unsatisfactory
voyage. He brought back but twenty
four tons of guano instead of hundreds of
tons. This was not due to any scarcity of
material nor lack of willingness on the
part of the men to handle it, but simply
on account of the fact that it was impos-
sble to get cargo on board the vessel
owing to the heavy surf which runs about
the islands.

Differences

Members Criticised for Engaging In Petty
Differences
CLEVELAND, o., March 2s.-Judge
Hammond delivered the charge to the
jury in the B.P. %. .Elks case in the United
States Circuit Court this morning. He
sharply criticised the members of the Or
der for engaging in what he termed petty
differences which have disrupted the or
der.
Judge Hammond said that the amount
involved was sufficient, in sentimental
value of paraphernalia, to give the court
jurisdiction. He said the jury must con-
slider that Atlantic City was the legal
meeting place for holding the convention
IN dispute, because it was fixed by the
Grand Lodge and the Grand Trustees, and
the subsequent removal of the Grand
Trustees in no wise changed the legal
meeting place. After some further dis
cussion of the legal phases of the case by
Judge Hammond the jury retired, but was
dismissed late in the afternoon until to-
morrow.

ANOTHER WILL CONTEST

Property Questioned


Property Questioned
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 28.-
Maher and Holt have prepared a petition
to bring suit in the United States Circuit
Court at Topeka to break the will of the
late banker, Ii. M. Northrup. The suit
is brought by Milton G. Northrup, the
only living child of the banker, who,
ever since the death OF his father and the
opening of the WILL threatened to contest
it. The action is based on the allegation
that the will is invalid on its face because
it violates the law against perpetuity in
not granting him absolute rights and also
because its provisions are indefinite and
uncertain. The estate is valued at $780,
600. The petition relates that Banker
Northrups mind was unsound through
disease.
All the beneficiaries of Northrup's will
are defendants in the suit.
