.IMPOUNOED CHILD
FOR ITS BOARD
NATIVES AT wAIANAE REFUSE
TO SURRENDER BABY UNTIL
MOTHER PAYS THEM.

native woman made complaint to
High Sheriff Brown yesterday about the
action of some other natives at Waia-
nae, whom she claimed were OBTAINING
her infant Illegally. According to the
statements of the mother, the family
seems to class a child as they do live
stock, for they have impounded the
child, as it were, in lieu of it's board.
The child in question was born year
ago. The mother was taken i'll so left 1t
with some natives to care for, until she
recovered. Now at the end of nine
months, she wants to get her child
back. The natives claim that she IS
indebted to them for its keep during
that period. She wants her child and
has not the money to pay the bill for
its board. The natives, so she claim
ed, are holding the child in hopes of
compelling her to produce the money.
Deputy Sheriff McGurn will be sent
to Waianae tomorrow to get the child,
as the natives are thought to be in il
legal possession Of it. They will prob
ably be prosecuted.

the widow Of the late milliona re plant r

CHEFOO, September 2.-Richard
Harding Davis and John Fox, Jr., Am
erican newspaper correspondents, have
arrived here from the headquarters OF
the Second Japanese Army and will
leave for the United States September
Sth. They say that the foreign at
taches and newspaper correspondents
with the Second Army witnessed the
battle on August Goth from a distance
of eight miles, and that this was so un-
satisfactory TO them that they united
in a round-robin to the japanese au-
thorities protesting that because of this
restriction upon their movements their
usefulness was at an end. General Oku
replied, saying that in the future they
would be permitted to witness engage
ents from a distance of four miles,
whereupon Davis and Fox, together
with Melton Prior and George Lynch.
British correspondents, left the Second
Army. Lynch will make an attempt to
reach Port Dalny.

Montgomery Committee Will Call on Governor and Urge Him to
 Draw Warrant for Im-
 proving State House.

The Montgomery Commercial and In- dustrtal Association last night, by d unanimous vote, instructed the President to appoint special committee to wait on Governor Jelks and urge him to draw on the treasury for the $l5O,OOO appropriated by the Legislature for Improvements on the State Capitol.
 The Association heard request for as- sistance from the Montgomery County Agricultural Club relative to a county fair in Montgomery during the fall months. The matter was referred to the Committee on Agriculture to confer with the committee from the Agricultural Club to report at an early meeting.
 The meeting was called to order by President Alex Rice at o'clock.
 Secretary Gilbert reported that imme- diately after the last meeting he wrote General Manager Clark of tn Mobile and Ohio Railroad relative to that road put ting on a morning service into Montgom- cry and an afternoon service out of this city.
 A reply was received from Mir. Clarke, through c. P. Jackson of Montgomery, stating that the Mobile and Ohio had un- der consideration putting on these trains and will probably do so by the middle of April.
 Secretary Gilbert said that he had been requested to call the attention of the As- sociation to the fact that although the Legislature had appropriated $15O,O00 for the purpose of improving the Capitol grounds and buildings, no warrant had been drawn by the Governor for that purpose. It was suggested that conn mittee of five from the Association wait on the Governor and urge the importance of drawing the warrant before the close of the fiscal year September 30. He also suggested that the committee recommend

to the Governor to draw $5o,0Oo annually for three years.
 On motion of Fred S. Ball. the sugges- tions were adopted.
 M B. Houghton President of the Montgomery County Agricultural Club, addressed the Association on the subject of an agricultural fair. He said that there are a number of prominent agriculturists in the county, who believe that an agri- cultural fair would be of great interest to the agricultural and stock-raising in- terests.
 Mir. Adams addressed the Association, and said that throughout the State there is a desire for an agricultural fair and one in Montgomery. The people interest ed in such a fair are tired of going to Birmingham, where the fairs have al ways been fiat failures. They want a fair in the heart of the agricultural dis tricts.
 Mir Houghton said that Montgomery had never done anything for the agricul- turists, and on these agriculturists the success of Montgomery depends. Farms create money like a gold mine, and every assistance and stimulus should be given the farmers and stockmen to push for- ward.
 G. G. Miles said he was in thorough sympathy with the movement, and moved that the matter be referred to the Agri- cultural Committee to confer with the Committee of the Agricultural Club.
