HACKFELD & co.
ARE GUILTY
They Must Pay the Penalty for
Not Returning
Japs.

H. Hackfeld & Co. were found guilty
yesterday of violation OF fine contract
labor laws in bringing Japanese to Ho-
noTulu, and are liable to penalty of
$500 and additional fine upon four differ
ent charges.
During the trial of the case F. w.
Klebahn was cited to appear for con-
tempt for refusal to produce two letters
written to Hackfeld & Co. of which
corporation he is secretary. The cita-
ton was afterwards withdrawn upon
the letters being produced when United
States Attorney Breckons had re-
quested that KIebahn be commit
ted until he complied with the request.
Klebahn pleaded that an officer of a
corporation could not be compelled to
incriminate himself. but Judge Estee
held that an individual is not a cor
poration.
There was no evidence in defense, Mr..
Bigelow who appeared for the defend
ant asking that the case be dismissed
because the government had not shown
that HackfeId & Co had refused to re-
turn the Japs. Judge Estee denied the
motion to dismiss and instructed the
jury that if the defendant had not COM
piled with the law in returning rejected
immigrants it was violation.
The jury was out but a few moments
before returning a verdict of guilty
Exceptions were taken and there is a
possibility of an appeal

deeper distress than before existed,
Gripping it's agricultural resources by
further devastating the arrowroot
fields and completely destroying wide
areas of growing crops on lands which
had been considered outside the vol

almost impenetrable mass of sand
which, while hot, fell in the Wind
ward district on the morning of Octo-
Der 16.
Even the Mesopotamia valley, an
ideal garden of tropical vegetation, al
though twelve miles from the volcanoes
crater, is burdened with sand, in some
places six inches deep, and the lands
to the eastward bordering upon the
previously devastated areas are COW
cred to a depth of nine inches. Travel
on all the roads in the Windward dis

sand. Animals even broke down under
the strain of the journey. Hundreds of
poor persons were driven from their
homes by falling cinders, stones, etc.
The situation is desperate. Com
paratively no damage was done on
the leeward coast by the outbreak. No
lives were lost.
This eruption was equal in duration

Explorer Explains Some Things Re-
 GarGing FruftIess Pole Hunt.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 3. n Evelyn B. Baldwin, the arctic explorer, about whose failure to reach the north pole with the Zeigler. expedition so much has been printed, returned on the Ger manic. When he left, MT. Zeigler told him he never wanted to see his face again unless he found the pole, and Baldwin promised that he never should

 five just come back on q flying trip" he said. "I want to see MT. Zei- gler and tell him personally that all these stories that have been circulated about the expedition are lies. The only reason we returned to Norway was that we ran out of coal and had to burn our sledges. We are all ready to make another dash, and I confidently expect to succeed the next time.
 The expedition was all right. It was well equipped in every way. Iwant to see MT. Zeigler face to face and assure him of these things"
 Mir. Baldwin thinks his work was justified by the results of the expedi- ton. He said:

swinging around the circle making
 campaign speeches, now abandoned,
 and it must be confessed that he is
 pretty much of past master in the
 art of defending an indefensible posi-
 tion. Yet he leaves his Hanks exposed
 to whitening fire by the thinking and reasoning public, which must result to
 his party discontinue in the end. In
 his Cincinnati speech for instance he
 charged the democrats with bad faith
 on the trust question, not in so many words, but by the meanest insinuations,
 and added .sthat all insincere advocacy
 of the impossible was dangerous
 When he charges the democrats with
 bad faith on the trust question he
 makes a charge which is not true and
 which if he be the statesman his
 friends accredit him with being, he
 knows is not true. He is cognizant of
 the fact that the democrats offered an
 amendment to the census bureau bill
 in the past session of congress, incor-
 porating the identical recommendation
 of his message to congress for the con-
 trol of the trusts; he knows and the
 Congressional Record shows that when
 that amendment was offered the demo-
 cratic members who offered it stated
 that it was identical with the presi- dents recommendations and he knows
 that every mothers son of a repub1i- can in the senate voted against that resolution while every democrat% voted for it; and it seems that q decent re- gard for the truth ought to prevent the president and his followers from mak- ing statements which either by infer ence or by diversion carry a contrary impression. And since the president has seen fit to impugn the motives of the democrats he has rendered himself open to the same question. And while the president is talking about insin- cere advocacy of the impossible it is well to measure his own proposition by the standard he has set. He proposes a constitutional amendment to curb the trusts, ignoring the direct and reason able way, a revision of the tariff Is a constitutional amendment of the scope he proposes probable or even possible? Can it even pass congress? Will the house and senate even give it a two-thirds vote? Everyone who knows anything at all about the atti- tude of congress now or of congress yet to be elected must know that such a proposition is impossible. But sup. pose, for the sake of argument, that such an amendment should pass both branches of congress, does anyone sup pose that three-fourths of the states would ratify it? Does anyone think that the southern states would ratify it, surrendering the very principles for which they fought the bloodiest war of modern ages? Anyone who knows the condition of affairs to-day knows the presidents remedy is an impossi- ble one and he must know it himself. Therefore his proposition measured by its own standard is dangerous and is insincere. ?. -<... '..s<.~: .

THE MEERscHAUM INDUSTRY.
The Manufacture of the Pipes Almost
 Confined to Turkey.


 Confined to Turkey.
 The British foreign office has issued report upon the meerschaum mining industry in Constantinople This prod uct, which is extensively utilized for the manufacture of pipes, is almost en- tirely confined to turkey. The meer- schaum can be mined by any person at Sari-sou, Septdje Gheikli and Men, lou, on payment of five pias to the ad- ministration of mines-the cost of q permit. The mines at Sari-sou are sit uated at a distance of about seventeen miles to the east of Eskichehir. The pit at Sari-sou was opened twenty years ago. but. to-day there are 5000 mines opened, of which, however, only 2,00O are worked, the remainder having been abandoned. Some 4,O00 miners work these mines, and every Friday market is held at which they dispose of the block of meerschaum they have extracted during the week. For the accommodation of the Workmen some 1000 huts have been erected.
 At Sepetdje, about eighteen miles to the northeast of Eskichehir. there are some 10000 pits in a space of six miles. of which only 150 are worked, all the others being exhausted. It is said that these mines were opened 1000 years ago, which is not incredible, as it is well known that magnesia was former 1y used for many purposes other than the fabrication of pipes; moreover, Fullers' earth used to be worked on a vast scale by the scientists. The meerschaum mines are worked by 500 miners, who live in the surrounding viii lages. At Gheiki, in the neighborhood of Sepetdje, there are 5000 pits. Of which only 100 are worked. giving em, ployment to 400 miners.
 The only place. where the administra- tion of mines authorized meerschaum to be extracted is Menlon, and here there are only twenty pits actually worked by 100 workmen. g.ne work ing of these meerschaum deposits called Eskichehir mines, which former. " were actively worked, is reduced to l,71O pits, giving employment to some 5,O0O miners, the greater portion or whom are Kurds and Persians.-Scien titic American.

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch- ing diseases of the skin.

It would be interesting to find out if in the history of Connecticut politics there has ever occurred just such a conjunction as has developed in Man chester. The chairman of the republi- can town committee was candidate for judge of probate and was turned down by his own caucus. Then he went for and secured and accepted the democratic nomination for the same place; and there he stands, chairman of the committee of one party and can didate on the ticket of the other, and bound by all the honors of office to do his level best to defeat himself. Few men have the gall for such an attitude as this. Hartford Courant. .=.
 It takes a genuine dyed-in-the-wool republican to furnish just the amount of gall required for an occasion like the above. All the same the voters should put him out of harms way on election day.

BUMPED" BY A MOOSE.

What it did was easy enough for the moose, but little bit hard for the city man. The moose, perhaps driven down by the storm, seemed bound to get in- to the cedar thickets, like the white tailed deer, and it led us d merry chase, Worming in and out among the snow-coyered trees. Needless to say. we were soon thoroughly wetted with the snow, which fell from the trees on our necks and shoulders, but, of course. one does not mind little think like that. The interest of the chase lSept us warm. We could see that we were getting closer and closer to our game Presently we could see that we were getting very close. At last we saw where we had gotten within 100 yards of 1t. There was the story. A deep pit, as though great horse had lain there.
 Jumped" said Adam.
 Sure" said I.
 Then we sat down and thought it over for a while. We went on soma more and presently we came across TWO more moose tracks, q big one and z little one, probably COW and calf as Adam thought. We were then tbraa miles from the camp, and it was nof too laIe III the day, so we thought wa would follow on and see wbat this bunch would do to us. They did pretty much the same as the young bull had done. We followed these tracks tbronpb all kinds of country, saw where fba animals had fed in among the wiIloyrs and aiders, and on the roundwood ond nnalIy puzzled out their trail until va knew that we were getting very cIosa Ihls tune we were near indeed to sao. Ing our moose. We were perhaps not nIty yards away when we came to . couple more big holes in the snow. and some more regular holes beyond Jumn- Cd again! There was the story nla in enough. This time we might aImoS+ nave heard the bushes rattle as wa went out. As we stood there we baard hoarse, harsh, curious kind of coughing bark. Adam laughed.
 That old lady is just wondarino what III the world it was that scara5 ner' said he. 'sShe is frightened. b,,t IS not exactly sure what it is tbat frightened her. Just listen to bor ;, once, twice and again that samo coughing bark came back to us. Than all was still, and we were again all alone in the white wilderness. We con cluded that we would go home after that.-Forest and Stream.

The carrying of electric power is the basis for an article in the Engineering Magazine. This writer says that ''elec- trica1 energy may be transmitted around the world if the line voltage is unlimited. This follows from the lay that 2 given power may be transmitted to any distance with constant eff ciency and fixed weight of conduc- tors, provided the voltage is increased directly with the distance. The physi- cal lirnitsof electric power transmission are thus fixed by the practicable volt age that may be employed. The effect of the- voltage of transmission must be met in the apparatus at generating and receiving stations, on the one hand, and along the line on the other. Electric generators are the points in trans mission system where the limit of prac, tical voltage is first encountered. In almost all high voltage transmissions at the present day alternating genera tors are employed. Recently the volt ete5N VI eAAeSA SOACAcllO1S AdS OCCA1 pushed as high as 13,O00 in the revolv- ing magnet type where all the arma- ture windings are stationary. It is quite clear, however, that the pressures developed in the armature coils of al- ternating generators must reach their higher limits at point much below the 50,000 and 60,OOO volts in actual use on present transmission lines. Tn the longest transmissions with alternat- ing current there is, therefore, no pros pect that step-up transformers at the generating stations and step-down transformers at receiving stations can be dispensed with. As now construct ed, the line is that part of the trans mission system where physical limit to the use of higher voltages will first be reached. The factors that tend most directly to this limit are two temporary arcing between the several wires on 2 pole. and the less imposing but constant passage of energy from one wire to another.
