BIG BASEBALL GAME

Waikiki, Aug. 9.-The All-Maui
baseball team expect the II. A. C.'s by
the Ike Au Hou next Tuesday morning
The local team has practiced together
very little. This is owing to the abb

the boys who wish the Mauis to put up
a good game and thus hold up the hon.

grounds, but they have never been to

J. MA[ONEY HAD A
VERY NARROW ESCAPE

Waikiki, Aug. 81. Maloney, sur
veyor for the Pioneer Mill Company.
Lahaina. met with very painful and
quite serious accident yesterday (Fri-
day. morning. The accident occurred
at Honolua near the country home OF
Il. G. Searle, manager of the llonolua
ranch. Mr.. Maloney had just arrived
at Honolua on a mule and alighted and
seated himself comfortably on tho
grass waiting for the arrival of Man
ager Barkhausen of the Pioneer Mill
Company and others.
There being no hitching post near
by and being somewhat weary after his
long ride. he sat down to rest himself,
and without dreaming OF any serious
consequences. he calmly tied the mules
rope to his leg. In the distance were
lot of cowboys driving cattle down
and as they nearcd the place where
MalOney was musing and admiring the
| natural beauties of HOnolua with
Molokai hills looming up in the west,
the noise created by the cowboys made
the mule think that he too was wanted
to drive down the cattle, so without
giving Maloney any warning bolted on
at furious speed dragging Maloney
along.
Mr.. Searless native boys saw the
predicament Maloney was in, and with
agility and great presence of mind
seldom surpassed by cattlemen in other
parts of the Territory. the mule was
soon brought TO a standstill and Malon-
ey was removed to Mr.. Searles's house
where his wounds we're dressed.
After careful examination, It was
found that there were no bones brok-
en-, the injuries received being only
skin bruises and these were not con
sidered very serious. The distance the
mule dragged Maloney is said to be
about two or three hundred yards and
the wonder is that Maloney escaped
with the bruises that he had, for it
would have been worse were 1t not
for the timely arrival of the native
cowboys.

FOUND DE(OMPOSD BODY

Wailuku, Aug. 9.-The badly decom-
posed remains of Japanese was found
hanging from a tree yesterday after
noon near Olinda BY the yardman. As
soon as the matter was reported to
Deputy Sheriff Samuel E. Kalama OF
Makawao district that onicial, as coro-
ner, summoned jury to inquire into
the matter and to find out whether II
was suicide or foul play. According
to the evidence of the medical men who
examined the body, it must have been
hanging there exposed to the sun, wind
and rain for the past two months or 50
The body is so badly decomposed that
no one can identify it. The ury has not
yet returned its verdict, but it Is very
likely that they will return verdict
OF suicide.

NO CHANGE
IN COAL
PRICES
Stock on Hand Being Rapidly
Depleted by Great Demand
and Cargoes Not Yet Arrived

The stock of hard coal on hand in the
yards OF the various dealers of the city
is being rapidly depleted because Of the
great demands made upon the dealers.
and while not more than a ton is sold to
each customer. SO many people wans
coal that the dealers as a rule have
every possible cart at work.
One of the dealers this morning had
40 carts at work and with this force was
not able TO keep up with the demands
which had been made upon him. The
people, as soon as there was anthracite
coal to be had. rushed In their orders.
and they all desired coal as quickly an
possible.
Some of She dealers had orders dating
back three months or more and when is
is considered that the orders were sent
out In order of reception. unless an emer-
gency case arose, II will be seen that le
takes considerable time TO reacn the or-
ders given recently.
No cargoes OF coal have arrived In the
past "A hours, and though coal Tor nearly
every dealer In the city Is anoat the
weather conditions have not peen suors ~
IL estimated that the unfavorable weatner
is quite as much the cause for delay as
anything else.
The price for soft and hard coal Is on
parity today, and though the price or sofs
coal has increased somewhat today IN
New York the price remains the same as
fixed Yesterday by the dealers. The East

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE following
statement was issued at the office OF the
comptroller OF the currency: The Cen
trail National bank of Boston. Mass, has
been closed by direction of the acting
comptroller OF the currency a result
OF a conference by telephone late last
night with Examiners Neal and Ever OF
Boston. The acting comptroller has ap-
pointed William f. Neal as temporary
receiver
"The bank was last examined Sept. IL.
1902, and while the examiners report
showed losses equal to surplus and undi-
vided pronts then on hand there was no
evidence OF insolvency. as the banks as
sets seemed to be ample TO meet Its la
bilites to creditors.
Certain conditions were then imposed
upon the bank with a view to providing
for losses and securing the bank against
further loss on Its loans. Later 1t was
determined 20 place the association In
voluntary liquidation by having another
bank In Boston take over its assets and
assume Its deposit liabilities and II was
thought that arrangements TO this end
were being successfully carried out until
the acting comptroller received dis
patch from Examiner Neal yesterday that
efforts to liQuidate had failed.
After a conference by telephone with
the examiners, who stated that a re-
ceiyership was unavoidable. tho bank was
ordered closed. The failure Is due TO
losses sustained. There is no apparent
dishonesty on the part of the officers or
the bank so far as the records OF tho
conaptroller's ONCE show"

THE WORK HAZARDOUS.

THE work OF a miner and a miners
laborer il extremely hazardous: in fact,
IL is more dangerous than employment In
any other important Industry In the
injured is greater than In any other in
dustrv.
Each day the anthracite coal mines are
I'm operation 2 6-l0 persons lose their lives
and three times as many are manned and
yet these men receive less wages annual
" than are received by men performing
precisely similar work In other fields un-
der more favorable and less hazardous
conditions.
The number OF years a man can retain
his health and strength in this occupa-
ton IL limited. If he escapes death or in
jury by falls of rock or coal, he cannot
escape attacks OF miners asthma. There
is scarcely a mine worker who has not
contracted this malady. The miners are
compelled to work in powder smoke. In
foul air. many OF them in water and their
work Is difficult and exhausting.
Reputable insurance companies will not
issue policies TO this class of workmen,
the risks are so great that the premiums
would be prohibitive to men whose earn
ings are so low. The entire 20 per cent.
which they demand as an Increase In
their wages would not suffice to carry an
insurance OF one thousand dollars.
HIGHER WAGES ONLY JUST.
II seems but fair and just that
wages paid these classes OF workmen
should be as high II not higher than
wages paid 10 skilled artisans In other
industries. II is certainly not unjust to
ask that these miners should receive as
h.gh wages as are paid TO miners In the
bituminous coal fields. In the silver ana
gold mines or in the iron ore and cop

zardous. freer from liability 10 disease.

In supporting the demand for the re-
duction OF the hours OF the day labor
ers, Mr.. Mitchell showed that IL amount
ed practically 10 demand for 20 per
msn. or 81 per cent OF all mine en-
ployes. Continuing, he SAID:

THE eight-hour day is the standard

The reports OF the United States Geo

WEIGHING OF COAL.
Defending the third demand that coal
shall be weighed and paid for by weight
and that 2240 pounds shall constitute
ton. Mr.. Mitchell declared that the pres
ent method of measuring the coal pro-
duced by the miners In the Lackawanna,
Wyoming and Lehigh regions has been
the source of more discomfort than any
other of tbs many injustices imposed
upon the miners and there can be no con-
tentment among these workers until an
honest system has been adopted Paying
for coal by the car or by a ton weigh
ing from 2740 to 3l50 pounds is a fragrant
Injustice.
ping is required and there has been no
corresponding increase In the amount
paid per car or per ton The miners
receive no additional compensation
The miner should be paid for every
the % operator. M II 224o pounds constitute "a a
ton when coal is sold to the consumer
and when railroad companies are paid for
transporting coal to market, what justice
can there be In denying the miner the
right to be paid for his labor upon the
same basis?
SYSTEM OF DOCKING.
THE anthracite companies not satisfied
with an extra legal ton OF from 2740 to
1850 pounds have system OF docking
through which they appropriate an addi-
tional part of the miners earnings A
miner is docked all the way from 500 to
1000 pounds upon car as a penalty for
loading impurities for which he has al
ready been penalized TO the extent of
from 700 TO 900 pounds in excess OF impure
weight. In other words he Is punished
twice for the same offence.
"A system somewhat similar but less
unjust obtained in portion OF the btu
minous coal field many years ago, but the
miners are now paid by weight upon the
basis OF a legal ton: they are not only
permitted but are encouraged by the op-
orator TO employ check weight men TO see
that the product of their labor il proper
ly weighed and a correct record made
thereof"
