heroic labors 1t is so miles long, eight
miles wide and possesses an area or
100000 square acres. The island, though
very forbidding in appearance from the
sea, is not at all barren. 1t is covered
with beautiful verdure; the mountains
and the valleys are always green and
wild flowers grow everywhere. Spot
ted deer, given 80 years ago to the
king of the islands by the mikado of
Japan, now roam about in the meadows
and forests.
The island is populated by 5000 per-
sons, 1,12O of whom are lepers. The
lepers occupy only the most beautiful
part of the island a grassy plain 10
miles long and froro one TO two miles
in width on the north side. This plain
is separated from the rest of the is
land by precipice 1000 feet high that
can be scaled only at one point and
this point is carefully guarded. The
lepers live alone in their colony in
beautiful cottages or houses They
are exempt from taxation and the gov
eminent supplies them with food and
clothing. They have large herds of
horses and cattle. But they are life
prisoners because of their terrible dis
ease.
Leprosy first appeared in the Ha-
waiian islands about 1910 and is sup
posed to have been brought in by the
Chinese. 1t rapidly spread among the
population until the government took
effective precautions against it. Mol

ed. 1t was decided, however, to allow
those who have been charged with re-
ceiving brides to make sworn state
mentS.
MIR. Duguid, formerly financial audi
tor of the Pail Mall Gazette, explained
that the $4,000 which Hooley paid ht;.l
was a compensation, explaining that
Mr.. Hooley appointed him city editor
of a newspaper. but was unable to ful-
fill his contract. Mr.. Hooley upon an
other occasion offered the witness =

which he refused to accept
Earl De la War; was next sworn. He
admitted having received $4,000
through Mr.. Broadley Hooley's agent,
after the fiotation of the Dunlop COM
pany. but witness said he had never re-
ceived anything to transmit to the earl
of Albemarle. nor had he received e.
600 for introducing Hooley to Lord Gre
vile.
A cable dispatch was read from Lord
Norbury, denying that he had received
Ell 900 to join the Singer board.
Mr.. Praed, the manager of Lloyd's
bank. said the statements of Mr.. Hool-
ey in regard to the bank were absolute
ly false and he produced documents
empowering the bank to sell or other

contempt of court in attempting to in
duce Mr.. Hooley to falsify his evidence.
In support of the application counsel
presented the telegram from De la
War; to Mr.. Hooley mentioned at Mr..
Hooley'S last examination, which read
as follows:
please make it clear that 1 did not
have $4,000 for Dunlop, nor kept any
thing due Albemarle. Also that condi-

COLONISTS CLOSED OUT.
Russian Jews Robbed By Their Pres
ident and Secretary.


San Francisco, Aug. 1O.-The Occiden-
tai Colony company at Wellington,
Lyon county, Nevada, which was or
ganized and operated by Russian Jews,
is about to be closed out by the sheriff.
On. Nov. 8, 1897, y families of Russian
Jews left San Francisco for the new
land of promise, the Wymore ranch.
near Dayton. They had purchased the
property for $4,000, which they pro-
posed to pay from what they should
realize from the products of their la
Dor. Wymore permitted the settlers to
obtain a further loan of &c. 500, which
was recorded as a first mortgage on the
land. With this they obtained lumber
and built houses. They worked hard
and were doing we'll when, on July %,
the president of the colony, Daniel
Schwartz, and Secretary Bell. obtained
$500 from the Bullion and Exchange
bank of Carson, en- mortgag ing the
entire crop of the colony. With that
money, it is alleged, they decamped.
The bank has now begun suit to re-
cover the amount of the mortgage, and
the already destitute colonists will
probably be evicted from their houses.
Schwartz has formerly lived in Phil
adelphia, while Bell halls from Chi
cago, and either of those places is most
likely their objective points, although
some of the wronged colonists believe
that the fugitives are on their way to
Alaska. Warrants are out for their ar
