BANANAS
New Agricultural
Board Gets to
Work.

by the Board of Agriculture and For
estry. 1t was the first meeting since
the appropriations for its use became
available and there was therefore work
of considerable importance done. This
included among other things the grant
ing of help to the United States Ex-
pertinent Station for the encourage
ment of the culture of Bluefields ba
nanas and Egyptian cotton, discus
sion of headquarters for the board, and
also of the policy to be pursued in the
future. Those present were l.. A.
Thurston, J. f. Brown, A. w. Carter,
j. ID. Dole and II. Il. Cooper.
THE ORGANIZATION.
There was some discussion over re-
appointing the present employees in the
Agricultural Department. There will
of course be no great changes in the
be the entomologst and Professor Per-
kins is to have a similar Office The
matter of appointments was referred
to a committee composed of Messrs.
Thurston, Giffard and Cooper.
KOEBELE'S WORK.
Secretary Cooper read some CORE
spondence which he had had with Pro-
fessor Koebele who is now on the
mainland. Mr. Koebele wrote that he
had received information of an en-
tomologist in Ohio who had consider
able knowledge of the leaf-hopper and
its enemies, and he asked permission
to go and meet the man. The authority
was granted and Professor Koebele is
intended to return after receiving the
necessary information.
Secretary Cooper has also been in
communication with two entomologists
| in England and they have been engage
ed and will arrive next month. One
of them is Kirkaldy who will assist
Koebele and the other is Terrey who
will be Perkinss assistant.
HELP FOR SMITH.
The request of Jared Smith for an
allowance of $3.50 towards labor and
expenses of the experiment station was
granted. The legislature made a total
appropriation of $500 for the six
months for the aid of the Federal ex-
pertinent station.
SOIL SURVEYS.
Director Smith stated at the meet
ing that at the examination held by
the civil service commission for a
chemist for the Experiment Station
there had been one man examined, DR..
Shorey, chemist for the Board of
Health. He expressed the hope that
DIR. Shorey would be appointed.
AS soon as the appointment is made
soil survey of the islands is to be
undertaken. One district will be TAX
en- at a time. At present in the United
States a soil survey is being made by
DIR. Whitney for the United States
Agricultural Department and 1t VIII be
of the greatest benefit. BY this means
accurate information is obtained as to
the exact character of the soil, and
what can best be cultivated here.

RECONSTRUCT NURSERY.

Mr.. Cooper suggested also that head
quarters for the department might be
established at the government nursery
on King street. He said that the build
ing now used as sleeping quarters for
the laborers could be reconstructed and
fitted up for the board. Mr.. Cooper is
to have plans drawn. The bungalow

TALK OF FORESTRY.

There was some discussion also of
forest trees. Mr.. Thurston stated that
Mr.. Gifard had suggested that Florida
pine could be made to grow here and
would make good timber trees. Mr..
Smith favored the idea and said he
would send to Washington for seeds.
Mr.. Thurston also told OF some of his
observations on Maui, saying that on
the Won Tempsky place Monterey
cypress trees were growing well at an
elevation of 1000 to 5000 feet. Mr..
Smith did not believe the cypress made
good timber as 1t grew only to height
of thirty-iive feet or forty feet.

BUFFALO. N. Y, March 81
Judge Murphy handed down his find
ings in the Burdick inquest toGay,
and declared the identity of the
murderer had not been proved The
statement is an exhaustive review of
the evidence brought out during the
inquest. Special attention is given to
the letters exchanged between Arthur
r. Pennell and Mrs. Burdick, par
ticularly the one containing a threat
against Burdick's life. Concerning
these the judge said: "Alt gether,
these facts would, in my opinion, con-
stitute a just ground of suspicion ON
which a warrant could be issued
were he alive Referring to Mrs
Hull, Judge Murphy says: "The ac-
tion of Mrs. HUI on that morning
(the morning afto the murder) an:
her testimony on I. stand has caus-
ed me much though, md worry. To
my mind, they are inc. nsistent with a
perfect want of knowledge as to what
had actually occurred. So little ap-
parent feeling for the dead man, such
an evident desire to cover up the
crime and no disposition whatever to
aid the authorities in apprehending
the murderer may be explained, but
has not been explained"

DENVER COOKS STRIKE
SPREADING TO CLERKS.

DENVER. Colo, March 31.-The
strike of the cooks and walters is as
suming more serious aspect. and to-
day seventy-four restaurants are
closed Unless an early agreement
is reached, the butchers. bakers and
grocery clerks will join the strike.
This would close every restaurant in
the city and prevent even families
from receiving supplies. Also there
is prospect that the bar tenders will
strike, and thus shut off the free
lunches. The chances of settlement
without further spread of the strike
seems slight today
