Prohibition party first in order of inn

STILL HANGS FIRE.
Otto Kuehne Undecided Whether
TO Move or Stay.

Otto Kuehne, head of the picking and
preserving works of that name, announces
his intention of moving to Kansas City
before the close of the winter unless the
rate situation here takes a more favorss-
Bile turn The proposition came up some
weeks ago and the Commercial club inter-
ested itself in attempting to arrange mat
tiers so that this industry might be re-
tanned. Evidently it's efforts have been
fruitless, although Mr.. Kuehne said this
morning. that the final arrangements had
not yet been made and that it IS still pos
sible that the plant would remain here.
Mr.. Kuehne thinks he will not be able
to move before Christmas in case that is
finally decided upon. the change being de-
layed that long in order that the fall work
may be completed. Nothing positive is
known concerning the location of the
plant in case it goes to Kansas City, but
there are number of places which would
be advantageous from a transportation
standpoint Mr.. Kuehne believes the rail-
roads there can furnish him inducements
in the way of rates and easy access which
will be much greater than those to be Sc
cured in Topeka.
1t is likely that he will not build, for
the present leasing a building in which
the business of the institution Will be car
ried on.

MUTINY AND PIRACY.
Crew of Steamer Virac Attack Ofic-
ers but Are Overpowered.

New York, Oct. 13.-The little steamer
Das Hermanos was sent out on a cruise
among some of the southern islands by
a trading firm few days before the
transport Sherman left Manila, says a
Herald dispatch from San Francisco.
The steamer reached Virac and anchor
ed in the harbof there. Officers and the
few passengers on board were at dinner
in the cabin when about thirty of the
crew, led by the boatswain, rushed down
the gangway armed with knives, hatch
cts and clubs and demanded the money
that was on the vessel. The officers
were caught unarmed. Two women
passengers fed to their rooms. The caps
tain and men passengers gave the mu-
tineers battle. The Dos Hermanos was
anchored close to the shore and not fan
away from the constabulary barracks.
The noise of the fight was heard at the
barracks and officers put out to the yes
sell They succeeded in boarding after
desperate struggle with mutineers,
several of whom were shot and killed.
The others, numbering thirty-four, were
arrested charged with mutiny and
piracy.
It is supposed the plan of the mutt
neers was to kill all the officers, run
away with the steamer. take the SIS 900
which was aboard and then wreck
the ship and declare all were lost ex>
cent themselves.

his part, the Pontiff will not fail to give

The main lines for future negotiations,

FOR GOLF LAURELS|THE BOARD DECIDES
Byers and James Will Enter
the List Today.
A Desperate Struggle Expected. He WEo Wins

(By the Associated Press.)

Glenview Golf Course. Ills, July 49,
Either e. B. Byers, of the Allegheny
Club of Pittsburg, or Louis James, of the
Glenview Club, Chicago, will wear the
amateur golf championship laurels to-
morrow night. These two won their way
through the semi-finals today, Byers
rather easy, James after heart-disease
producing game, and tomorrow will meet
in the finals at sc holes for the cham
pionship. If Byers and James play in
the form they showed today, the game
may not be decided until the home green
is reached, though Byers on account of
the marvellous golf be played yesterday
when he put Champion Travis out of the
running, is perhaps slight favorite.
The game will be played over the first
nine holes of the Glen View course un-
less the players shall elect to use row.
boats. The low lying lands embracing
the fair greens to the tenth, eleventh,
thirteenth and seventeenth geens and the
geens of the latter two are covered with
from two to ten inches of muddy water,
the result of last nights terrific storm.
Even the higher ground of the first nine
holes is in exceedingly poor condition for
play, water abounding while the course
is soft and treacherous. Nevertheless
the u. S. G.. A. officials say the cham
pionship contest must be finished. A
steady drizzling rain was falling tonight
and prospects are that tomorrow's game
will be played under conditions more
suited to yachting than championship
golf.
