on the first message came a second mes
sage through from Honolulu. 1t was a
greeting from the people of Hawaii to
Clarence II. Mackay, president Of the
Gable company. congratulating him upon
the completion of the cable. The line
is now open for public business.
The opening of this cable line marks Il
great step in the work of connecting the
United States with its island possessions.
The next step is to be the completion of
the cable between Honolulu and the Phil
ippines. The cable TO Australia has been
in operation about FIVE weeks, with most
satisfactory results from business
standpoint.
A midway station, in an uninhabited
and hitherto unknown island in the Pa
cifc between Hawaii and Guam, is the
greatest obstacle yet encountered. The
island is listed as Midway island, and
except for millions of birds is unin-
habitad. The only visitors to it have
beer Japanese and Chinese brigands. who
used it for game hunting and for meet

Up to date the officials of the cable
company have been unable to learn what
government, if any, has control OF end
jurisdiction over the island. If it is de-
termined that it belongs to the United

Young woman, is one of the most popular
young girls in Aledo, as was Miss Dool
before her death.
The case; is one of the most interesting
in the criminal annals of Illinois. On the
night of Aug. Miss Dunlap purchased
some chocolates and shared them with
Allie Dool, her closest friend. Miss Dool
was Immediately taken Ill and died short
ly afterward i'll great agony. In her dy-
ing statements she practically accused
Miss Dunlap of poisoning her.
When suspicion pointed TO Miss Dun
lap she found many supporters. and sew
eral weeks passed in the accumulation of
evidence by the States Attorney before
the authorities ventured to take her into
custody. The preliminary trial before a
justice of the peace resulted in her dis
charge from custody, but later the
States Attorney presented the evidence
to the grand jury, and Miss Dunlap was
indicted.
The State proved that the defendant
purchased poison from drug store a
few days before the death of Allie Dool.
On this point the State laid great stress.
and on the face of it the evidence looked
bad. But Miss Dunlaps attorneys
brought forward her sister, who swore
positively that iona came to her room
at night, Sat on the floor. removed her
shoes and stockings, took the package of
poison and applied the entire contents on
4 corn on one of her toes.
The death Of Allie Dool is more Of a
mystery than ever. This case has been
ever one of mystery. After five long
weeks. weeks in which every effort has
been made to probe into its secrets, it is
