PLEA FOR MATAAFA.
Apia's Former Municipal Magistrate
Sends n Brief Here.

A special plea for the cause of Mataafa
has been received at the embassies in
Washington interested In the Samoan ques-
ton from rather peculiar source, namely
William Cooper, late municipal magistra tie
of Apia, and a person believed to be a Brit
ish subject living in Auckland, N. 2.
Mr.. Coopers brief which is printed, pre-
sents not only the law in the case of the
kingly succession, but also shows an in;i-
mate acquaintance with the people and
customs of Samoa Mr.. Cooper regards the
situation as one of extreme gravity. He
says that the powers have to deal with this
diemma that if they undertake to enforce
the decision of Chief Justice Chambers,
seating Tanu, all previous scenes of blood
shed will be eclipsed. while If they fail to
enforce the decision the court will be flout-
ed with impunity. 80
Mr. Cooper's brief refers to the pledge
given by Mataafa upon his return not to
interfere in the government, and also to his
intimate relations with the German govern
ment. He says the present situation is n
sufferable, and that there must be extern
sive notifications of the treaty in view of
the fact that annexation of the islands by
any one of the powers is improbable

That's what the owner of the adjoining

Said Hackett: What's your claim here

your fence is over on my land two feet at

Another protest is that the Epworth League
will in the end become q church in itself.
Its membership is getting to be so enor-
nous. and it is so entirely Independent of
the church in the matter OF supervision and
management as to afford opportunities for
a skillful leader to take 1t out of church
and make a new one out of 1T. Presby-
terrain minsters-some of them at any
rate-say that they can see danger in the
Presbyterian Church from the same sources

You've probably heard of Lawyer Hack

chased some land over which there had
been a lawsuit for years, until the parties
had spent half a dozen times what the land
was worth. Hackett knew all about 1t.

Blockade on Third south Street on Ac-
count OF Freight Train.

A significant and very practical argu-
ment IN favor Of change in railroad
depot facilities, with their bearing on
The grade crossing situation here, was
observed on Saturday night. The in
coming car on the Jordan bridge line,
which left the river at 1882 on It's up
town trip, was halted by freight train
AT Third West street This train had
been lying across the street for nearly
ten minutes when the car arrived at
the Short Lines track. For fifteen
minutes the passengers on the street
car were compelled TO wait until a
helper could come from the o. :. l..
depot 20 assist In pulling the long
freight train up the hill. During most
of this time the car running In the OPP
posite direction was lying on the other
side Of the freight train also waiting,
and the passengers were obliged 10
transfer TO opposite cars In order that
the trip could be made after the freight
train went by. Thus Third South
street was practically closed up for
twenty-five minutes In that one In
stance. Anyway. that Jordan bridge
service Is startling affair. OF course,
Il is claimed that the line does not pay,
but the fact still remains that Il IL part
Of a system that does pay; and that
there Is no reasonable argument to
justify the treatment which uncffending
