HAWAII BANANAS.
Efforts to Extend the Culture on the
Big Island.

HILO, March 13-The Hilo Tribune
says;
Encouraging Roadway has been
made in upbuilding the banana in
dustry in Hawaii, since the Inaugural
ton of a regular steamer by the Mat
son Navigation Company. The num-
Der of punches shipped by John Ly-
curgus by the Enterprise last Wednes-
day was 567 This lacks a few of be-
ing the 10000 per month which Cap
tain Matson wanted before making a
freight rate of 40 cents or less per
bunch. However the good work al
ready is apparent in the rapid in
crease in the area to be devoted to ba-
mana culture. The Hilo Agricultural
Society, mainly through the persist
ence of Charles FurneauX has been in
strumental in extending the banana
propaganda.
A meeting was held at the office of
Mr.. FurneauX last Friday to discuss
the transportation question. Captain
Matson, Mr.. Gerhardt, a recent pur-
chaser of land in Olaa, r. T. Guard
and others We're present. The policy
of the Matson line, was stated by Cap
tain Miller to be that of reducing
freight rates as rapidly as the increase
on banana shipments will warrant.
Captain Miller mde an extended talk
upon his experience in freighting ba-
nanas from West Indies to New York

more definite description of the loca
ton of the home of a witness
than would he required in a deed
of the property; especially when
the deputy sheriff and perhaps a half
dozen other persons present could give
the full description and take oath to
the fact of it's being the house of the
witness. No one knew the location
better than the attorney who asked to
have the case dismissed, as he CHANGED
to be the tax collector for this district.
This is too serious a matter to be
passed over lightly. If there is any
one thing which tends to incite people
to taking the law in their own
hands it is just such as this.

volving timber land in the Bitter Greek
valley western Montana, to the value
of s., 000, 900 was settled today by Judge

illegal registration of the anne, if such
irregularities existed. In his decision
Judge Knowles criticises the testimony
of Witness Griswold for the govern
ment, whose reputation the decision
says is none of the best and whom
many other witnesses testified had ap-
preached them in behalf Of the govern
ment. The ease is the most famous
timber land action ever tried in the
west. The reading of the testimony
consumed forty days.

AN AMERICAN CARDINAL
RUMOR THAT AN APPOINTMENT
FROM THE L. s. WILL BE MADE.
1t is Possible That Brazil May be
Given a Cardinal-The Situation aS
it Now Stands.

Rome, November On the eve Of
Mondays consistory, 4 Juno IS in cir
culation here that in addition to ap-'
pointments of M~onsignors Merry del
Val n CaIlegari to the c~ardinalata.i
which it is already known will be made
other cardinals Will be named. The.
rumor has it that the new cardinals
will be Americans. that is they WI.
belong TO the American continent. The
prevailing opinion IS that n Will be
from the United states and another.
from Brazil. the latter country having.
recently again asked that she be given
a cardinal.
The situation as regards a new
American cardinal stands as follows:
After Pope Plus was elected, he re-
ceived in audience a high American
p~relate. who before leaving the United
States had lined with the president.
The latter had often been urged 10
manifest to the vatican a preference
for the appointment of another Amer
lean cardinal, and he had always an
swered that the constitution Of the
United States forbade such initiative,
on account of the complete separation
OF churCh ana state. DuC ne was not
unwilling to charge the prelate to say
cOnfidentally to the pope, that the
comforting of the red hat upon Arch
bishop ireland would please a majority
of the people of the United States, eve
non-Catholics. ContempOraneOusly, Z
! higher American prelate who was In
Rome and was being consulted by the
pope on the best candidate for the pur-
pie, excluded the name of Archbishop
Ireland because of the d~iSSentlOn al
legged to be always going on over him
and supported instead Archbishop
Ryan rs a pious. jealous and generous
eccleSlaStic. whose name would Ell
counter no opposition and would be
we'll accepted by the whole hierarchy
Since then the vatican has received
| arguments in favor of and opposing
Doth ArchblshOps Ireland and Ryan,
those opposed to the latter saying
that his nomination would merely
mean that of the archbiship of a GER
tain diocese, where a cardlna1 Is less
needed, cardinal Gibbons being near
while the appointment of Archbishop
Ireland besides giving the United
States a cardinal in the west. would
add a member to the sacred college
who would not be merely an archbiSh-
OPP. but a man of commanding iniiu-
ence and prestige throughout the
United States. Thus the question lies
with the pope, and it is considered
very doubtful if it Will have a solution

How We Catch a Cold.

A cold is sometimes contracted
while remaining inactive for a while
in an uncomfortable room or a cold
draft and by falling to sleep under
like conditions. But most colds are
caught while sleeping too cold at
night. Deep sleep causes sluggish
circulation which renders the system
susceptible to change of tempera-

plenty of cover. To cure colds use

Stirred Up Business for the Court
Judge PurnelI Removes Two.
Especial to The Messeneer.)


Raleigh, n. c., November Too
great activity, p~ernicuous activity on
the part of five United States COM
missioners in getting business, that
is making cases for courts, has gotten
five United States commissioners in
his district in trouble. Today Judge
Purnell reprimanded two of them Sc
Verely, notified two others that their
designations would be accepted, and
removed the commissioner at Frank
linton.
Judge Purnell said this was done
on account of h Irregularities which
he considered improper and practices
he does not approve of. He returned
today from holding courts, where he
found man. tritiing cases on the
dockets in which the interest of the
government did not demand prOsecu-
ton. Some commissioners had beer
given warning, but talking did no
good. hence their removals.
