building on Commerce street, east of

speculation. There will likely be
some improvements made to the entire
property by the new owners.

Truants Before the Mayor.

IruantS before the Mayor
Warrants were served on three bows
Monday afternoon, and last night
they were brought before the Mayor,
charged by the truant officer with
habitual truantoy. Two Of them start
ed in with their usual fairy tales, but
the Mayor had their daily school rec
ord before him and they speedily
found that they had reached the end
OF their rope. His Honor told them
kindly but plainly that they were
breaking the law. and that they must
go to school or be locked up.
III the third case the mother of the
boy was present and some domestic
matters connected with the situation
caused the Mayor to hold the case for
further investigation.
In ali of the schools the good results
of the work of the truant officer are
evident, the general attendance being
greatly improved AS to be expected
however, there are some children who
persist in their truantcy, and some
parents also who as psrsistsntly shield
them. Theslaw very clearly provides
for the punishment of both children
and parentssin such cases as disorderly
persons, and the Board of Education
is determined that the truant officer
shall be supported in the enforcement
of the law.

FARMERS DISCUSS
TOMATO QUESTION

The Cumberland County Board of
Agriculture met at the Court House
Thursday afternoon at two O'Clock.
Andrew Miller, of Hopewell, was
chairman while Charles HI. Dunsafe,
of Cedarville. acted as Secretary of
the meeting.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
The President said he did not know
hardly. how to proceed with the busi-
ness as there was such a small atten-
dance to discuss the tomato question.
He suggested the price Of tomatoes
the main question Of farmers getting
| together.
Mr.. H. o. Newcomb, of Cedarville,
! had been amongst the farmers and
said they had offered $S as the con-
tract price. Mr.. Seabrook stated that
Mr.. VIM. Laning would pay $8. 30.
Several other farmers present heard of
ST.. so, $8. and $8.50 being offered.
Chairman Miller stated that anyone
wishing tosspeak should do so. He
said that he was inclined to think that
the farmers we're somewhat discour-
| aged in raising tomatoes and great
many were going to raise peppers He
asked If the farmers were generally
contracting for peppers. Mr.. New
! comb stated that he thought they were
being offered ten and thirteen cents
per basket for early peppers and nine
and twelve for late.
Chairman Miller stated that some
were spotting their plants out under a
! sash about four inches apart and by
close attention and good fertilized
ground were very successful in raising
them. H. o. Newcomb gave prao-
tical experience regarding peppers.
He stated he planted $500 hills, and
they stood well, did well and had also
contracted with pickle firms to take
the whole of them at one dollars per
barrel, and he considered he real
lied well for them.
He thought the possibilities of the
pepper crop were better than the rails
| ing of tomatoes. Arthur Seabrook
stated he set out one quarter of an
acre OF peppers and got $52. co.
! Fl. O. Newcomb on motion moved
| that it is the sense of the farmers of
| Cumberland county this year not to
raise tomatoes for q price lower than
! $500, which was carried.
Mr. Seabrook moved to either have
the cash or security or weekly pay
ment for The tomatoes, and if not wait
until November for the money that
packers give bonds. General discus
sion followed this motion Mr. III. O.
| Newcomb said he didn't think the
| farmers cared SO much about getting
their money weekly but they did want
it when the time came. The Presi-
dent called for the question on this
motion which was unanimously car
ried. On motion Mr. Newcomb, a
committee of three be appointed from
the chair to look into the matter of
getting security from the Gamers.
The chairman announced he would
appoint the committee later

VALLEJO, Sept. 19.-The proper care
Lena has thrown upon the naval au
thorities very delicate piece of work
during the past week. With sixty tons
of dangerous ordnance store and am
munition in her magazines and with
spies and dangerous characters believed
to be floating around, the American
naval officers have realized this respon-
sibility and have been exercising the
greatest care that no harm comes to
the Lena from the outside. Since the
ship has been at Mare island the tugs
Dart and Leslie with armed guards on
board, have patrolled the bay in the
neighborhood of the big black Russian
cruiser, while the marine guard on
shore has been doubled in the vicinity
of the Lena's dock.
This morning Gunner T. J. Shuttle
worth, acting under instructions from
Captain Franklin ]. Drake, with a small
force, began disarming the Lena and
removing her ordnance stores. The
guns of small caliber the breechblocks
of large guns, small arms and ammuni-
tion are being put up in convenient
packages for storage in one of the ord
nance buildings on Mare Island.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Admiral
Goodrich, commanding the Pacific sta
ton, has telegraphed the Navy Depart
ment that he has forwarded by mail
full report of the agreement entered
into with Captain Berlinsky of the Rus
sian vessel Lena for the parole of the
officers and crew of that ship. This
provides for their freedom of the city
of San Francisco, but they may not go
beyond the boundaries of the city dur
ing the continuance of the present
war, and under no conditions can they
be permitted to return to Russia except
on the conclusion of an agreement on
that point between the governments OF
Russia and Japan, which would relieve
the United States OF any responsibility.

two pslrties on the mainland and stated
that there was every certainty that the
Republican party would be in power
for the next four years. He spoke Of
his relationship to c. r. Bishop, and
said he was to all intents a Hawaiian.
He advocated the return of Prince
Kuhio to Congress.
Henry Vida was the next speaker.
He said that two years ago he had ap-
peared before the voters asking them
to stand behind him in sending him to
the lower House. This year he asked
the same voters to stand behind the
new Republican ticket now before
them. They should support Governor
Carter and his administration. Cover
nor Carter, he said, was a governor
who would give the citizens a govern
ment by the people, of the people and
for the people.
James Shaw spoke next, dwelling at
length on his Puunui water resolution
which had already gone to the govern
ment and had been productive of re-
suits in getting the water system start
ed toward the section.

the ''hula-hula ticket SO named by
