BIG HERD OF BUFFALO
AT BIOLOGICAL PARK
Property of William Cody and Barnum & Bailey Lent to
National Government While Show Is Abroad

the show is touring England. The laws
of that country viii not permit the re-
ception of buffalo and certain other an
lraals without a great deal Of ceremony
They are quarantined ana other rec
tame is gone through with which no.
only requires much time. bit which fry-
quentIy results in the injuring or many
Of the animals by inexperienced handi-
ing So many valuable animals nave
been lost in this way that IL was de
cided not to take this herd OF buHaio
abroad this year.
While the Barnum e. Bailey show
and that of Buffalo Bill do not exhipit
joirtly they have consolidated IN their
management Last year and the year
before the BarnGn & Bailey snow We
abroad. and this season the BuHalo
Bill company will 90 TO England.
A Valuable Addition.
The animals which arrived yesterday
now make the number of buffalo at the
Zoo one Of the largest in the United
States. This Is rather interesting In
view of the scarcity of buffalo. There
is a large collection in Yellowstone
Park, and some are to be found in
other geological parks but those now
in Washington are among the finest In
the country.
The buffalo will be kept here all sum-
mer, and probably all next winter. Fa-
cilities for taking care of them here are
especially adequate. and they add val
liable and interesting feature TO one Of
the most notabl collections OF animals
in the world.

pOstmasters themselves, as well as by
Mr.. Bristow's own admissions, were IN
warranted. Mr.. McDermott, in his ex-
animation of Mr.. BristOw, brought out
the fact that in the case Ga the postoff1co
at Erie, Kan, Mr. Bristow had rec
commended an increase from 800 TO SlSe
while the actual conditions showed that
under the rule OF the department the
postmaster was entitled 10 500 allow
ance only.
Mr.. Bristow was forced to admit that
he had not investigated the matter be-
fore making recommendation, thdJ
none of the inspectors who are under
him and charged with such duties mad
investigated the Office. but that he mad
referred the matter TO the First ASSIST
ant with The recommendation that the
allowance be granted, which was done
and afCeTWaru reduced. MIR. brlStOW
could only say that he had trusted TO
the First Assistant to pass upon the
case on its merits. Mr. Heath was AT
that time, he said. the First Assistant.
Questioned further he also admitted
that there was no difference between nj
recommendation and that OF member
of Congress- except as Mr.. McDermott
brought out. Mr. Bristow was in the
departing building, had Inspectors un-
der him, and eould easily have inquired
into the case and ascertained whether
or not the postmaster was entitled TO
the additional allowance, which a MEM
Der Of Congress could not have done.
Statement Extravagant.
Mr.. Mccall also showed by question
ing Mr.. Bristow that the excess al
lowance of clerk hire shown in the re
port" amounted only to S160S7. whereas
Mr. Bristow had spoken of a hundred
other similar cases" in which millions
had been squandered. Mr.. Mccall
wanted to know If Mr.. Bristow did not
consider his statement an eXtravagant

list of postoffices for which members
Of Congress recommended and procured

referred TO as the infamou-1 Bristow re-

Such is the inference which is TO be
drawn from the statements Of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
before the Mccall investigating commit
tee. or at lenst that the list was pre-
pared in the Office of Mr.. WyIne. In his
examination by the committee, MI Bris-
tow has disclaimed any part in prepaT-
ing the Charges concerning members,
and sought TO throw at least a part IF
the responsibility upon Mr.. Wynne's
office.

While doing this he admitted that
these were the cases which he had in
mind when In his first report he cite,I
specific instances of this kind and said.
a hundred other similar cases could
be cited" and then went on TO declare
that millions had thus been used by
Beavers to promote his personal and po-
litical ends Still he declared that he
had no part in preparing the report
other than to write the letters TO Chair
man Overstreet which the report con-
tanned.
The data pertaining to the leases and
rentals he was forced 10 ADMIT were pre-
pared in his Office. but it was while he
was absent from the department suffer

Bristow several times referred to what

FAST DISAPPEARING
EntomoIogist Craw will Draft Re.
guIations For Oriental Fruits.
KoebeIe's Good Work.

The Board Of Commissioners of Agri.
culture and Forestry met at the Ex'
pertinent station yesterday afternoon
After the reading of the minutes OF the
previous meeting. President Thurstor
reported that the work on the map OF
the proposed Hlo forest reserve was in
an advanced stage of completion and
that the map might arrive on the Kinau
Saturday.
Superintendent of Forestry Hosmer
reported his movements from August
18th to September 2sth. During that
period he looked over the Kona reserve,
| made a reconnaissance of the mauka
boundary of the proposed Hilo reserve
and made a tour of Maui with Governor
Carter. He has also supervised the
work at the experiment stations and
has prepared and forwarded to the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washington
mailing list OF people to whom gov
eminent publications are to be sent.
Attached to the Superintendent's re-
port were the weekly reports of work
done at the King street and Nuuanu
stations. The report was received and
placed on file. 1t was announced that
the jars for the fruit exhibit had ar
rived and that the exhibit would be in
stalled in the near future.
A letter from the Attorney General
relative to the prosecution of a. F.
Cooke for the destruction of govern
ment trees by the fire which started on
his land at Palolo was read. He ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be
possible to prosecute under section 200
nf hn hinh al tn
malicious injury. but that under the
peculiar circumstances of this particu-
lar case he doubted whether it would
be possible to secure a conviction al
though the law covers injuries caused
by carelessness as well as malicious
ones. 1t was therefore decided to drop
the matter. Mr. Hosmer stated that
he would be ready to report in full on
the proposed Hanalei forest reserve at
the next session of the board.
The report of Alexander Craw, Super
intendent of Entomology, was then
read as follows:
Division of Entomology.
Honolulu 4. H., Sept. rs, 1904.
To the Honorable Board of Commits
sioners of Agriculture and Forestry,
Honolulu, T. H.
Gentlemen: The question of the adj
visibility of your Board drafting regu
lations to prevent the Introduction into
the Territory of the serious fruit-iiy
pests that are known to exist in China,
Japan, Eastern Pacific ports and other
countries, was submitted to me at your
last meeting and in reply l beg to re-
port.
While it may appear arbitrary, the
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1904-09-30

total exclusion OF fruits from the above
countries Is unquestlonably the safest
| way to prevent the Introduction Of such
pests into the Hawaiian Islands.
| Under Act a OF the Territory OF Ha.
wall, your Board has ample power t.
make rules and regulations covering
this most important question.
Fruitful belong to the Dlpterous
order of insects and are amongst the
most prolific and rapid breeders and the
most disgusting pests that horticulture
lists and agriculturists have to contend
| against I'm countries where they have
gained a foothold Take for instance,
the introduced melon cucumber fly that
has completely put a stop for several
years past to the cultivation, or rather
production, of muskmelons on these
Islands.
In Queensland and Western Austria
liza they can hardly raise fruit on ac-
count of fruit-iiies. In Cape Colony.
South Africa, fruit trees have to be
covered with mosquito bar netting to
protect the fruit from such flies. This
makes the cultivation of fruit an expen-
sive business, even with the Govern
ment purchasing the netting as they do
in Cape Colony selling 1t to the or
chardists at actual cost. From the
above facts, II will be seen that the
most drastic measures you may take to
guard against such pests will be none
too severe.
/ desire to lay before you the advis-
ability of drawing up regulations COW
ering the importation and disinfection
or fumigation, if deemed necessary, OF
trees or plants in inter-island traffic.
My attention has recently been called
to this by the Introduction of the
"Olinda beetles" (Aramigus fullerD into
Oahu from Maui where it was unfor-
tunately introduced from the mainland,
a few years ago, as l have been in
formed. This beetle is a serious pest
cutting the leaves of trees and plants
much i'm the same manner as the Jap
anese beetle" (Adoretus umbrosus) and
in the larvae form, it is more destruc-
tive, as 1t burrows into the roots of
death of the same. Lemon and orange
trees are especially subject to their at
tack and would be a check to the pro-
ntable production of those fruits, should
their cultivation be undertaken in a
practical manner on these islands. l
fear that it will now be a difficult task
to check this pest and it could have
been kept out with a little care. This
could also have been done in preventing
the spread of the Japanese beetles"
to the other islands.
Probably all the serious pests found
upon cultivated plants have been in
troduced by the aid of man and the
only hope of overcoming such pests, is

| ton to complete the road.
I'VE want to change that way of do

| Governor Carter spoke in admira
| ton of some of the public lands visit
ed on Maui but referred to a difficulty
there from old customs.
| "A great proportion of the land is
held in common by natives, Portuguese
and others. man will take horses
and cattle to pasture far in excess of
his land, and turn the stock out on
| the public domain. The Hawaiians
have been doing this from time i'm
memorial and think they have a right
to do it,"
The Governor was much taken up
with forestry problems on Maui, on
this subject remarking:
"One thing exceedingly interesting
to me was statement by MIR. Baldwin
1t was an old saying OF the natives
that when they have southerly winds
in winter they always have a wet sum-
mer following.
This may be from the fact that the
souiherly winds and rains wet down
the dry mountain slopes. Thus the
watershed Is cooled. increasing the
condensation of moisture, and the Wild
shrubs are promoted In growth SO that
the surface of the ground is protected
from the heat From these consider
ations 1t may be concluded that the
reforestation OF those slopes would
make wet summers.
In old times--in Captain Makee's
tlme-ulupalakua was visited with
afternoon showers. which Captain Ma
kee said came from Kahoolawe, hut
after Kahoolawe was denuded of for
est these afternoon showers never
came.

The Governor spoke of dissatisfaction
on the part of Peter Lee, Levi Lyman
and others over land matters on the
island of Hawaii. He mentioned long
communication he had received from
Mr.. Lee and explained the matter thus
1T is about people that have taken
up land adjoining their own homesteads

DIDN'T THROW GAME !.
Story Current at Douglas About Bisbee
 Ball Game That is Denied.
Especial to Review.


 DOUGLAS. Sept. 3-A story has been circulated in Douglas that Pete Martinez sold out the ball game last Sunday to Bisbee. This story has been thoroughly investigated and is found to be an untruth. Martinez did not throw tine game nor did he recieve any money from Bisbee to do so. He played his usual good game and did the best he could to help his team win, and feels very badly that such a story should have been put in circu- lation.
 Just who started the rumor is not known, but George Hardiker has been busy tracing it down, and said to a reporter for the International-Ameri can this morning. You can state for me that I find absolutely no founda- tion for the story and think that Mar tinez has been greatly wronged."
 The base ball loving public of this city will be glad to know that the story is an untruth as it takes stigma from the good name of the Douglas base ball team.

MEXICAN DIDN'T SABE.
Fought Custom Officer Bailey When
 Held Up at the Line.

Douglas Sept. 3-Yesterday after noon Inspector Baily had a time with a Mexican who insisted on importing duty free a big box of Mexican cigars. The Mexican started to cross the line from Agua Prieta with the big box un- der his arm. When he passed the American guard house Baily halted him and took the box from under his arm to examine the contents. The hombre resisted and tried to prevent by main force the opening of the box by the officer. Baily pushed the man away from him and went on with the inspection. The Mexican renewed the attack on the custom officer and tried to get the box of cigars and throw the officer down. Baily seeing that the man tried to do him up drew his six shooter and smashed the beligerent hombre a good crack over the head This ended the battle, and the would be smuggleT made break for his own side of the line. After getting his head tied up he came back and of fered very humble apology to the officer for his conduct, which was ac- cepted by Bailey and the Mexican was allowed to go on his way into the U. s. without being made to face the charge of resisting a government of ficer.

LODGING THE LAW.
Alleged That Contract Labor is Being
 Passed in from Mexico.

DOUGLAS. Sept. 3-Nearly every train from Fl Paso has on board a number of Chihuahua Indians bound for the various railroad camps in Ari- zona. These people are directly from Chihuahua, and are in a certain sense contract labor. The employment agencies get them for the contractor, but do it in such way that they can not be arrested for infringing on the contract labor law. The men are not hired in Chihuahua, but in Fl Paso, Men thought to be in the employ of the employment agencies live in Chi huahua and they tell the natives that ] if they went to Fl Paso ttcy might get work there. They are not hired on Mexican soil and no contract is made with them. The Mexicans go to Fl Paso and ask for work at the agencies and the contract is then made with them in Fl Paso and they are shipped out to the places where they are wanted.

He would make no statement regarding this matter. but did say that much of the Orman & Crook construction out fit is at Nacozari. It is his opinion that if the extension is built the con- struction work will probably begin at the Topolobampo end of the line and build towards Nacozari.
 The bridges of the narrow guage road at Nacozari are being reconstruc- ted, and Col. Griffin said that this work is~what gave rise to the story that there is construction work go- ing on.
