Hawaii Ranchman Says Cattle DO De-
stroy Forests.
Referring to an article on cattle,
published in Honolulu oyer j. NJ.
Horner's name some time ago, a
raDch manager on Hawaii writes
as follows to the BULLETIN:
81 believe Mr.. Horner to be
mistaken in great many things
although / do not question for a
moment the sincerity with which
he wrote.
"He says, for one thing that cat
tie do not detroy the forests. This
he claims be can prove by Ger
tain tract of land where there are
thousands of cattle and the trees
all standing and in good condition.
L do not attempt to contradict this
for one moment but, will these
selfsame cattle allow the young
trees to grow up and take the
place Of the old ones when they
die ? | think not and L believe
that men of experience will take
sides with me on this question. l
have proven this for myself.
"All our forests are fenced, the
the fences running about fifty
miles. This work was done about
three years ago. Anyone who
saw our forests before that time
and has had occasion to see them
since, when the cattle have been
forced to remain outside, will Ger
tainly say that cattle do destroy
the forests.
"The young trees are springing
up by the Thousands. This is
something you cannot see in any
place where the cattle are running.
The old trees cannot live forever
and there must be some steps
taken to prevent the humiliation
of the forests.

There is new Richmond in the heldl
John A. Thayer Is the choice of the
democratic leaders as candidate for
mayor. Mr.. Thayer has been sounded
within the last few days, and is under
stood to be willing to run. There have
been frequent meetings, and coming as
it does with the unanimous approval Of
the democratic leaders, there is but lit
tie doubt that he will accept.
The matter Is to be settled at meet
ing to be held next week. At this time
the indications are that Mr.. Thayer
will be nominated on straight demo-
cratic ticket, but If there is to be a citi-
zens movement, the democrats would
willingly join issues with their COM
mittee, and MIR. Thayer would thereby
secure the votes of that element of the
republican party that is opposed to
straight partisan nominations.
Chairman j. H. Meagher of the DEM
ocratic city committee refused last
night to discuss the question of a may
orally candidate with The Spy reporter,
but admitted that there was one loom
ing up on the democratic horizon. When
the matter was fully settled, he would
be willing, he said to give out his
an open secret for some days that Mr.
Thayer was the man that the demo-
Gratis had in mind, and little investi-

MI Thayer is a clean young man and
a lifelong democrat, and as democratic
candidates go, he win be strong can

that he could win out against such can

Three of the Marauders

The Day.
OFFICERS BUSY RINGING CALLS.

Four stores were broken into yester-
day morning in Worcester shortly af-
ter o'clock, and many members of the
police department, in talking the mat
ter over yesterday, were of the opinion
that the success of the breaks was due
almost entirely to the necessity Of po-
lice officers ringing in duty calls at sig
nal boxes.
About 2.15 o'clock the drug store of
Edwin A. Mellish at the corner of
Main and Gardner streets, was broken
into and 600 cigars valued at 10 cents
each; 400 cigars valued at cents each;
| 20 cakes of soap, valued at 10 cents
each; "a bottles of perfumery, worth
| $240; II bottles of syrup, valued at ST. 20,
and 80 boxes of cough drops valued at
| 5 cents each, stolen. Some loose change
which was left in the cash drawer was
} also taken.
| Shortly afterwards the fish market
owned by Herbert L. Dakin at HOO
Main street, was entered and here the
burglars stole something to eat. A box
of oysters and some crackers were TAX
en-. The thieves then went to a shoe
store owned by Charles H. Albee at the
corner of Curtis and Main streets, and
stole a pair of Shoes
| In all instances the marauders made
their entrances into the stores by
smashing the windows in the front, and
especially at Dakin's fish market ira
ees of their daring was shown. A big
| window, six feet long by three and one
half feet wide, was smashed in and the
sidewalk was covered with small pieces
/ Of glass. The glass was one-fourth of an
| inch thick and the hole smashed was
| large enough for the men to enter as
freely as they could have gone through
the door
The break at Dakin's fish market was
| discovered by Officer Andrew Harper,
but at that time Albee's shoe shop was
all right. The officer was obliged at
that time to walk from Webster square
to the corner of Crystal and Main
streets to ring in his duty call, which
is quite a distance from Webster
square, and the policeman thinks that
the thieves could have easily watched
him, and when he got out of sight they
started in again on their raid on the
stores.
A saloon owned by Patrick 7. Kelley
& Co., at 6S Canterbury street was also
broken into, and here some things were
also taken Willis Kemp, in going to his
home in New Worcester, saw three

The polls opened at O. clock last night
In ward and at 7.30 in the other wards
From the start the voting in the third
ward was lively and brisk. The voters
came in squads and within an hour
the ward room under police headquar-
ters was crowded to suffocation. Up to
midnight there was but little standing
room, so eager We're the voters to learn
the result. Early in the evening there
were persistent rumors that DR.. O'Mea
ra was beating Mr.. Heron out three to
one, and the finsl announcement proved
that there were some prophets in the
room, even though they might be with
out honor in their own country.
Pretty much everybody seemed to be
an O'Meara man. Mr.. Heron kept his
courage up to the last, and did not

and had no hope of winning save by a
miracle
The result was not announced until
12.45 this morning, when Clerk Maui
rice Collins announced that DR.. O'Meara
had received 526 votes, John J. Heron
1854, and Abraham j. Fergerson T. The
announcement was made to the faith
full and there went up a cheer for the
popular physician.
DR.. O'Meara goes back to the school
committee after a few years retirement,
for there is no show for republican
candidate against him.
In ward two the delegates to the mu-
nicipal convention were instructed to
vote for w. G. Lichtenfels for alder
man. In ward the delegates were in
structed to vote for James F. Carberry.
In this ward there were speeches by
James b. Carberry. Thomas Harvey,
candidate for the common council, and
James r. Ryan. They said that ward

racy if the democrats were loyal to

Murphy Supporters
Do Not Yet Cease
to Fight.
COLLINS LEADS EASILY.
Slowest Counting Ever
Seen in a Boston
Caucus.

Boston, Nov. 16.-The great fight for
the democratic mayoralty nomination,
begun weeks ago, and which was the
whole topic, ended last night by an APP
parent victory for Gen. P. A. Collins
over Hon. John r. Murphy. Friends of
the defeated candidate are already pre-
pairing petitions for recount of the
vote of practically the entire city. Mr..
Murphys manager picked out returns
from II out of the rs wards as the basis
for the petitions alleging errors. Ward
2 had not turned in it's returns at 10
o'clock tonight.
Such an example of slow counting
cannot be remembered in caucus his
tory of this city. At p. m, nearly 20
hours after the polls closed the ward
officers had managed to get a satisfac-
tory count on straight ballots only, that
is, where the delegates were voted for
straight either for Collins or Murphy
An hour later the counters were driven
out by the opening of the republican
caucus, and the ballots were taken into
another room to be completed. In view
of the prospective recount, no atten-
ton in revising figures were paid to
ward 2 by either side, for on the re-
turns Mr.. Collins does not need the
ward, while Mr.. Murphy will depend on
the recount.
With all the conditions now existing,
and tho nominating convention called
for next Monday night. it is not sur
prising that excitement among the
democrats is great. The latest figures
obtainable do not materially change the
result as announced early in the day.
There is a slight discrepancy between
the figures given out in ward ~ last
night and those returned by the ward

The democratic caucuses for the
nomination of candidates for the COM
mon council, school committee, the Sc
lection of delegates to the municipal
convention and the election of city
committee were held throughout the
city last night.
The only contests were in wards
and 9. In the former ward the faction
that follows Charles II. Writer won
out against the ticket put UP by James
f. McGovern. In ward 3, after one of
the most remarkable contests in the
history of the ward, DR.. NJ. J. O'Meara
was nominated for the school commit
tee over John j. Heron.
Most of the caucuses were SHINY at
tended, and the voters came and went
in a listless manner, but the caucuses
where there was something at issue
were the largest, considering the &C.
casion, that have been held in years.
Take ward for instance. AS a rule the
democrats do not turn out in any great
numbers here, because the ward is
overwhelmingly republican, but last
night the rivalry between the Writer
and McGovern factions served to bring
out 165 voters, the largest number in
the history of the ward.
Like little boy with a big drum
making lots of noise, the democrats of
the Salisbury street school. From the
time the caucus was formally declared
open by Warden John Hannah until it
closed, James F. McGovern and Chas.

out democrats.

stated as his reason that Anderson was

ed under protest. Sullivan was held UP
by John Foley, one of the candidates
for delegate to the municipal conven-
ton.
Foley stated as his reason that Sui

Writer, who has been the oasis in the
democratic desert of ward one, predict

The fight in ward has been a stub
born one from the first announcement
that DR.. O'Meara intended to meet Mr..
Heron in the caucus. Mr.. Heron has
been a member Of the school commit

minute he had no idea that he was to

announced that he was in the field,

Thrilling Scenes Attending
the Burning of the
Patria.

Dover, Nov. 16.-Mr. Duplace, the
sick passenger rescued from the steam
err Patria, died here this evening from
shock.
Mr.. Duplace had been for twenty
years German consul at San Juan de
Porto Rico. With him were his wife
and Mrs. Ivers of New York city, a
fellow cabin passenger, who, being
trained nurse and seeing the distress
of Mr.. and Mrs. Duplace, volunteered
to stay and nurse the consul, declining
the opportunity to continue her journey
to Germany.
The fourth survivor left at Dover is
Capt. FrohHch's steward, who went TO
the help Of Mr.. Duplace when the pas
sengers were ordered on deck Mr..
Duplace was suffering from anemia,
and the shock of the exposure ag-
gravated the complaint. The trained
nurse and Mrs. Duplace saved nothing
but what they were wearing at the
