FLYING FISH
Leap From Water and
Milk Cows.

For months the cows OF the district
of Kona, which is along the sea, have
been dry. Prize cows which in season
could be depended upon to give bounte-
Gus supplies of rich milk have dis
appointed their owners steadily, al
though there was no physical reason
for IT. Milk has risen to a premium
in the district and could not be obtain
ed at any price.
Naturally the natives were suspected.
| The white farmers organized special
bards Of vigilantes to watch, but night
after night brought forth no result.
| Cows which should have given large
supplies IL the morning would return
| from a nights grazing on the rich grass
absolutely dry. although It was certain
no human being had approached them
| during the night.
The explanation has been found at
last, at least, in the opinion of some
Of the farmers, and it has come from
the natives. The far-famed and almost
Legendary "milkmaid' flying fish have
again returned to the shores Of Hawaii
It was only after many natives had
been given a species Of the third de-
gree" by the suspicious husbandmen
that the explanation was given. An
ancient native was responsible for II
and he is solemnly corroborated by
every other native of the district.
according TO them the waters OF the
Pacific contain a strange species of fly
ing fish which thrives on milk alone
The native word translated means
"milkmalr" These fish, say the nc.
tives first appeared in the latter par
of the eighteenth century, and were
supposed to come from the shores oi
Australia. They have long, pliable
snouts, and when once i'll action can
not be detached
Their plan, it is said, is to swim
through the surf, quietly to the shore
where, by jumping up in the air. the!

cows, grazing on the sea grass. The!

as ii prearranged, certain ones en-,

Attorney General Moody Proposes
Radical Changes in Laws
Governing Arrests.

Washington. Dec. 5.--Attorney Gen
eral Moody i'm his annual report to
congress recommends the enactment
of a law which will provide I'm sub.
stance that where an indictment 1!
duly returned to a court of the United
States, the judge of that court may.
in his discretion, issne bench war
rant for the arrest of the defendants
wherever they may be found within
the territorial limits Of the United

of all persons authorized to serve such
process to arresL the person or per
sons indicted and II they fail after
a reasonable opportunity to furnish
bail for their appearance. TO bring
them to the court in which the indict-
ment has been found.
The attorney general explains that
much embarrassment in the adminis

inability of the United States to bring
an offender to place and court
whereby the constitution and laws Of
accusation against him must be tried.
In support of his views. Moody cites
a number of cases under the present
law and in which justice has been de-

NAVY WILL COST

For More Ships as Guar

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5.-The new
navy will cost more next year than

Morton in his annual report to the
president. The year just closing has
been the banner one. as never before
in the history of the world were SO
many warships launched by this or
any other nation. The secretary
makes a plea for q greater navy as
the most effective guarantee of peace
The report says:
THE naval estimates for the next
fiscal years are large-the largest ever
submitted-notwithst the fact
that they have been cut down from
those sent in by the bureaus more
than $17000,000. We have asked for
less than the money actually required

LAND FRAUD CASE
ENDS SUDDENLY
Defense Has Nothing to Offer in
Trial involving Government
Property at Portland.
CONSUMES BUT FEW MINUTES
Corrupting Of High Officials to Secure
Possession of 1000 Acres
is Charged.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 5.-The land
fraud trial came to an abrupt close
Saturday. The defense occupied but
II minutes and then only to present
explanations in behalf of two of their
counsel. offering nothing for the de
fendants.
The defense apparently base their
hopes on an argument to the jury, and
if that fails, on reversal of judgment
at the hands of an appellant tribunal
on a question of law. Nothing in the
nature of a defense of Mckinley. Pu-
ter, Ware, Watson, and the others
was attempted.
1000 Acres Involved.
The property described in the case
now on trial embraces about 1000
acres of land lying in the Cascade for
est reserve on the west slope of
Mount Jefferson, Linn county, Oregon.
The government charges the defend
ants with having sworn that they To-
Gated or caused alleged dummies to
swear that they located on these lands
prior to the establishment of the forest
reserve, lands which the government
asserts are practically worthless in or.
der to secure forest reserve scrir
which could be exchanged for large
bodies of valuable timber lands lying
outside of the reserve.
Corrupted High Omcials.
In its contention the government
brought witnesses to prove that the
defendants forged the documents nee
essary to accomplish their alleged pur
pose, corrupted government officials in
Oregon and through deception obtain
ed the unwilling assistance of officials
high in rank in Washington, ID. c.
