PETITION IS DENIED

Governor Garter yesterday denied the
petition of the Builders & Traders
Exchange that the time for bidding
on public contracts be limited to twenty
days. The limit was asked for the
purpose of shutting out competition
from the mainland, the local firms
claiming that the business should go to
local men, but after a. consultation with
them at which Superintendent Holo-
way was present it was decided to
leave matters as they are.
a reported combination of bidders on
the Brewers wharf contract was
brought up during the discussion The
governor stated that he had received
information that some of the parties
interested were combining on the bid
ding for this large contract Carter
said this morning that he considered
that such a combination was rob-
berry of all the tax payers and that if
there was any such movement it
showed low standard of public honor
among those taking part

George A. Davis argued his petition
for admission to practice as an attor-
ney of the circuit court, before Judges
\ Dc Bolt, Gear and Robinson this morn
Hg. He attacked all the existing
Hawaiian statutes on the subject of
admissions of attorneys in very vigo-
rous language and asked the circuit
court to rule that it has power of
itself to admit as well as to disbar at
Itorneys, in spite of the statute under
which the Supreme court Is acting,
which states that the power to admit
attorneys shall be with the Supreme
Court. The court took the matter un-
der advisement.
Davis argument lasted for an hour.
He declared that the Organic act Great
ed circuit courts of Hawaii as courts
of record, with the inherent power to
admit and disbar attorneys to prac-
tice. Such a power was not in con-
flict with the Supreme courts powers
in any way, said the attorney, but was
a natural inherent and coordinate
power of all courts of record
Every court of record has the in
herent power to make it's own rules
and this includes the power to make
rules for admission to practice" said
Davis. 1T is a power which the Su-
preme court cannot take away. The
power to disbar involves the power to
admit. If the court has one it has
the other.
IF this court has no power to dis
bar it has no control over attorneys.
The Hawaiian law says that a license
to practice given by the Supreme court
shall be in effect until revoked by that
court. Under such law as this an at
torney disbarred by this court might
come here and practice in defiance of
the mandate of the court acting under
a license from the Supreme Court. If
this court has not the power to regulate
its own officers and make it's own rules
it his not the power to look after any

STRIKE OF sTEvEDoREs.

The white. native and Portuguese
stevedores went on a strike this morn
ing. The exact cause of the grievance
is not clear. One report gives as the
cause that some Portuguese were dis
charged by the stevedoring firm but the
grievance does not appear to be very
positive. The men formed a union sew

called this afternoon to discuss the sit

Winnipeg Man, Aug. 17.-If half of the
reports sent south by local spectators
who are long on a large amount of wheat
were true, western Canada would have
no crop at all, and nothing but ruin would
stare the farmer in the face. These re-
ports have not been sent out by news
paper men.
Having started a campaign for higher
prices in the winter wheat states and
helped the movement by the scare over
rust in Minnesota and the Dakotas, where.
no doubt much damage has been expert
enceG, The bulls now think that reports
= that there will be no crop grown in the
Canadian west will force prices up to a
point where the wise ones will unload and
take their profits.
Some of the stories sent out have been
simply fierce, but they have the desired
effect Leading business houses and
newspapers are every day anXiously wir-
ing their representatives here. Export
houses have kept the wires hot asking for
accurate information.
Yesterday a report from Chicago came
over the private wire of local commits
sion office that Mr.. Pringle was in Can
ada and from what he had seen Of croE
conditions there the outlook was serious
Pringle is a member of one of the leaH-
ing grain firms Of Chicago, and his opin-
ion carries much weight.
AS a matter of fact he was in Toronto
and was no nearer the west than that
consequently his opinion was not worth
the paper it was written on, but it helped
the bull movement. -
A canvass Of leading elevator com.
panies and firms with country connections

West Concord, Mimi, Aug. 17.-Cutting
of wheat, oats and barley is practically
completed in Dodge county, and so far
the crop has been saved in good condition.
A little rust is reported from certain local
ities but it struck a week too late to do
any great damage. 1t is believed only a
small percent of the grain will be stacked
several threshing machines have started.
Oats are yielding from SO to so bushels
an acre; barley, 30; rye, 25; and wheat Is
to 20. The prospects for a good yield of
flax and timothy seed were never better.
Corn Is backward and uneven. Three
weeks of good weather will put the ear
lest fields out Of danger of frosts. AS a
whole the crop IS above an average thru
out this section. rsa

Mob Takes Black Murderers From

Death.

Savannah, Ca, Aug. ia telephone

negro implicated as ringleader in the
of the Hodges family by con-
fession of the negroes burned yester-
few miles from Statesboro late last
night. The report is generally cred

screaming to heaven for the mercy
that the mob would not show, Paul
Reed and Will Cato, negroes, two Of
the principals in the murder. and
burning of Henry Hodges and wife
and three of their children, six miles
from Statesboro, three weeks ago,
were burned at the stake late yester-
day.
This afternoon a determined mob
charged on the courthouse, overpow-
cred the military guard, secured Cato
ty after legal trial and sentenced
to be hanged, took them two miles
from Statesboro and, there burned
them alive. The climax came quickly
and unexpectedly. The forenoon had
passed quietly. The trial Of Paul
Reed, the ringleader in the murder
was concluded and a verdict of guilty
was rendered Both he and Will Cato,
found guilty the day before, were
sentenced to hang Sept. 9.
Early in the afternoon the crowd
began to become mob. Excitement
increased until despite the pleading
of the sheriff that Reed and Cato
were needed as witnesses to bring 9TH
ers to justice, the mob, ascertaining
that the guns Of the militia were not
loaded, took possession of the Jail.
The troops had been given orders
not to load their rifles. The captured

Treat all seed for the prevention of smut.
Smut weakens the growth of the entire crop and
retards the development of the straw. On a
smutty crop the rust action is always intense,
insuring it's destruction. Have the crop as free
of weeds as possible. Weeds weaken the straw,
retard maturity, and tend to keep the leaves and
straw of the grain logged with moisture, especi-
ally during the night.

wheat in Becker county has revealed far
more destruction than was at first sug-
gested by the appearance Of the grain.
Southwest of Detroit the damage is Very
great. County Treasurer Glaum, who has
farm of over 200 acres of wheat, says
he will not thresh over 500 bushels. Much
of his wheat and of others in that neigh
borhood will be either burned or plowed
under.
Some Of the farmers are complaining
that the hot weather has injured the late
grain and in some cases has burned it
up. Vegetables are also being burned and
will be scarce and high in price this fall.
Corn is rapidly maturing, but the heat
is too great even for it, and rain is greatly
