Peculiar Reasons For Sending Hutch
inson Boys to Reform School

Peculiar Reasons For Sending Hutch
inson Boys to Reform School
Five boys from Hutchinson were yes
terday admitted into the state reform
school
The story of the manner in which
these ave boys were sent to the Topeka
Reform school Is an interesting one
Two of the five boys we're not forced
to go. but they pleaded with the judge
to send them so that when the other
boys came back they could not put on
airs over the two by wearing their uni
forms. The Hutchinson News OF Thurs
day says:
Hutchinson. has a grievance against tha
city OF Hutchinson, the county Of Reno,
and the great state o1 Kansas His griev~
ance is a peculiar one but he 1eelS La@
weight of his sorrow none the less for
that. Roy has the same spirit OF pride
that sweIls within the heart OF every
American youth, and while his ideas are
somewhat unnatural his pride has been
touched and he feels it deeply.
Three boys were tried before jus
tice Knauss yesterday evening for steal
ing chickens. They were Fred Crow, 1ao-
rem Smell and Roy Fl0hr. They were
found guilty and an arrangement was
made TO hustle them of to the reform
school at Topeka to have their morals
members Of the chicken gang were re
leased upon their good behavior. The
authorities decided that to send the
three above mentioned would break up
the gang and perhaps accomplish a bet
ter result than to send the whole push.
Roy Crow could not see it in that light.
He didn't want his brother to come back
to Hutchinson some day wearing uni
form and putting on airs over hira-
Dang it sobbed the boy If Fred goes
I want to 60 I stole more chickens
than he did. and I've got a better right
TO go than he has. Let me 90 in his
place he pleaded"
The issue Of Friday continues.
The authorities IN Reno county have
proven TO be tender hearted after all
Roy Crows prayer has been heard and
MS ambition Is now realized It was de-
cided by the authorities just before
bundling the three boys on to the re-
form school TO let Roy Crow go with

clared he had stolen more chickens than
his brother After it was decided to in

a pretty good hand at hooking chickens

him. The result Of it all was that the
legal steps were taken and Roy Crow
and Levi Brown were sent with the 9TH
ers and are now IN the reform school

FORESTER HAUGHs ENCOURAG-

Hilo District Provides Valuable Water

David Haughs Territorial forester.
has submitted report to Commission
er Wray Taylor on the condition of
the forests in Hilo and Puma districts.
The report contains the following in
formation.
The work commenced with the Hilo
district with an inspection of the forest
lands Of Honomu kuhua, Makahana-
loa and Papaikou.
Around Uku Hill the forest is very
dense, consisting principally of Ohia.
koa and Kukui on the forest levels
and varies in breadth from three to
seventeen miles being in a very healthy
condition, the koa trees being free
from the insect pests that have been
doing so much damage elsewhere on
Maui and oahu. The forest is valu-
able as a water shed and source of
supply to the coast plantations who
appreciate the fact and carefully guard
the lands they control. on the lower
side the forest is in no danger but is
threatened from above by the cattle
and sheep ranges above the forest belt,
especially from straying sheep. Mr..
Haughs considers sheep a worse enemy
to the trees than cattle and suggests
a sheep proof fence along the mauka
edge Puma forest are safe and in good
condition although of not much value.

trees are sprouting where not a vestige
of soil can be seen. On the lower
lands hala or pandaus abounds and
on the elevation ohia.
Olaa shows encouraging prospects
with care in the fencing of pasture
lands. The forest is mostly ohia with
the usual underbrush and vines.

very interesting and a good example
of what can be grown in that

size until within a few miles of the
volcano where the ohias begin to
dwindle in size and appearance.

NEW YORK, October 30.-The news

the army during the Spanish war are
calling War Secretary Alger TO account
for a paragraph in his book In which
he casts "a reflection on their accuracy
and courage at once.
Richard Davis has written a letter 10
the publishers Of Alger's book and Cas-
par Whitney also threatens suit for the
libeL Davis letter is in part as fol-
lows:
MARION (Mass.,) October %, 1901.
Harper q Brother-Dear Sirs: on
page ll5 Of the book entitled The Span
ish- American War by General r. A.
Alger and published by you, occurs the
following paragraph:
Some timid newspapermen accom-
panying General Young and Colonel
Wood became alarmed at the first shot
fired at Las Guasimas and, rushing
franctically back to SibOney before the
engagement was over, wrote from the
deck OF the transports where they took
refuge imaginary accounts of the fight.
"As / was with Colonel Wood / can
not speak with personal observation Of
the newspapermen who accompanied
General Young, but / know from others
that Caspar Whitney who was with
General Young throughout the engage
ment remained on the hottest part Of
the firing line.
"Of the newspaper men who accom-
panied General Wood | can speak from
personal knowledge. After the fight
began several correspondents. among
them the late Stephen Crane Of the
world John Klein of the Herald and
J. =. Dunning of the Associated Press,
caught up with Colonel Woods forces.
As these gentlemen on hearing the
firing had run forward to join the CO.
lumn, they naturally did not run away
from 1t after they had overtaken IL.
But they did not accompany Colonel
Wood and so they are not the men Cen
eral Alger accuses Of running away and
Of writing an imaginary account of the
fight Only two newspaper men ac-
cOmpaned Colonel Wood, and they
therefore, must be the men referred to
by General Alger. They were Edward
Marshall of the New Work Journal
and myself.
Mr.. Marshal. while advancing on
the firing line with Colonel Wood, was
shot through the thigh and while so
severely wounded that afterwards his
leg was amputated. he dictated his ac-
eSehs while lying where hs fell Dur

Troop G., later with Troop L. | bor-
roWed a rifle from a wounded man and

the order was given, until the fight

count 1t was not an imaginary one.
Before taking legal action I should
like to know whether General Alger will
withdraw the Objectionable paragraph
and what you mean to do toward sup
pressing the libel. l am yours, etc,

Frank Halstead objects to Paying the
Tax on an Inheritance Taxed by

controversy as TO the income tax law,
the question being as TO taxation Of a

received during last year "a bequest OF
20,69l.l7, from the estate of Robert
Halstead. He paid the federal tax OF
IS cents per 500 10 the internal re-
venue bureau. The income tax law eX-
cludes from taxation under its proyi-
sions "bequests or inheritances other
wise taxed as such"
The point submitted is given as fol-
lows:

visions Of Section 4 Of Act 20 Of the Ses-
sion laws OF 1901 said distribution share
in the estate Of Robert Halstead receiv-
ed by plaintiff is exempt from income

.FREAR BRINGS CABLE NNS

Judge Frear had two talks with
President Roosevelt in both of which
the chief executive manifested a lively
interest in Hawaiian affairs. The last
heard from the cable before Judge
Frear left Washington was to the
effect that the Government was wait
ing for Mackay to reply to the ques-
tiOn whether he would extend the ca
BILE to China or intended only running
it to the Philippines. The American
government is very anxious to have
the cable extended to China in view of
possible urgent need of it there. Mac
kay is said to have stated that the ca
BILE would be laid as far as Hawaii
within nine months of the start.
Senators Cullom and Morgan were
both met during the Washington visit
and were eager for Hawaiian well
fare. Judge Frear reiterates the state-
ments of others in mentioning the gem
eral lack of information on Hawaiian
affairs resources and possibilities in
the East.
The trip which extended over ten
weeks took Mr. and Mrs. Frear through
Canad to Montreal and other cities.
The general grief in Canada over the
death of the president was, says the
Judge, as marked as that in America.
Flags wer lowered for days and SER
mons and eulogistic speeches delivered
to his memory.
Judge Frear approves of the local
monument scheme and thinks it pc
culiarly fitting to Hawaii.

HAS BIG DECK LOAD

The four masted schooner r. w.
Bartlett arrived this morning from san
Francisco with the largest deck load
which has ever been brought to TINS
mort. With possibly one exception, II
is the biggest deck load ever sent out or
san Francisco. The vessel looks more
like floating rough board house than
a schooner, for the deck load Is walled
up TO a height Of over 20 feet above the
water line. The old bark Top Gallant
is the exception as she took an enor-
NOUS deck load of shingles to Hong
Kong about a year or so ago.
Like other vessels which have arrived
within the last few days from san
Francisco, the deck load of the Bart
lett consists principally of bales OF nay
Her cargo includes 3,lS5 bales OF nay
and about 1000 bales were loaded on
deck In addition to this about Z'VoO
sacks Of feed were put on deck. Under
This load are nearly 1900 red wood ties,
which were placed there in order to
keep the hay and feed off the deck, so
that any water getting through "oulu
have a chance to run on. 80.
The deck load has been inclosed WIN
boaAling and was further protected
from the constant rain squalls, win
tarpolin. Although the deck OF the YES
sci is about two feet above the water,
the top of the deck load Is over ~ tee'
above the water. The sky lights In the
cabin were all useless except to admit
air, for the hay went so far above theIl
that but little light got below:
Captain f. Nelson brought the poat
down under single reefs IN all lour "
the sails, on account of the DIG oech
load.
