MUNROE SEEKING MORE DELAY.

There is still further delay in the
Jeffries- MunrOe fight in San Francis
co, so that the Yosemite club Will not
be able to pull it off June /, but must
postpone action until Friday, June Il.
The club was anxious to bring the
match off the first of June, because
there would be more people in the
city.
Munroe, however, is earning $3.50 a
week travelling with a show, and that
is such easy money that he wanted
the battle postponed q whole month
in order to give him the opportunity
to get all the money in sight.
Coffroth. of the club, objected to
any such delay. He sent back Wire
to Harry Pollock, Munroes manager,
that he would consent to put the fight
over a couple of weeks, but not a
month. After a number of messages
had been exchanged it was agreed to
fix the date ut June Il, which will
give the heavyWeights two months to
this time. In spite of the fact that
Jeffries is doped as triple plated
certainty to win, he will do more
hard work than his opponent. who was

PRISON ERS PLAN A MURDER.

SEATTLE, April 21-Jailer John
Corbett believes that a gang of pris-
oners in the receiving cell of the city
Jail planned few days ago to muir
der the jailer and escape
Wednesday morning Corbett found
a large iron bludgeon concealed in a
corner of the receiving cell. The piece
of iron was a part of the bar that
holds one of the prison doors. The
men by pulling the bar and placing
under it some kind of spike had sue
ceeded in breaking it off The bar is
sixteen inches long, about two inches
tick, and with a hole in one end. 1t
weighs probably five pounds.
Tom Scott, a negro who was wait
ing trial for petit larceny, is believed
to be the man who led in the plan to
break Jail. For several days prior to
last Saturday, when Scott was re-
moved to the county Jail, Corbett no.
ticed that every time he went to feed
the prisoners they made rush for
the door Invariably Scott was in the
lead. Each time COrbett was forced
to drive the men back. He then feared
that a break for liberty might be made
The finding Of the bludgeon made Cor
belts belief the stronger.

NEED THEIR OWN LAWS.
Contract Labor Essential to the We'll
ware Of the Hawaiian ISL
ands.

TACOMA, April u. - George H.
Emerson, a prominent lumber manu-
facturer of Hoquiam, who has just re-
turned from a trip to the Hawaiian
islands, paints dismal picture of con-
ditions there. In an interview here
he said:
property values in the islands
have shrunk nearly $75,00O,OOO since
annexation. When it is considered the
area of the islands is but one third the
area of Western Washington: that the
population is but little over One-half
that of Western Washington; that the
property valuation at the time of an
neXatiOn was equal to the assessed
valuation of Western Washington, as
euualized for 1903 and that Of the
$4,000 population of the islands, only
1900 are White, you can see that
these 1900 whites and their friends
must stand this loss. This is the rea-
son the islanders are crying hard
times and are asking congress for
legislation that shall give them relief
our laws fit our climate and peo-
pie, but are not elastic enough to fit
our tropical possessions. White men
cannot work in the tropics, never have
and never will. Every experiment on
the islands looking to that end las
proved this assertion.
Need Contract Labor.
All their products compete with the
cheap labor of other tropical coun-
tries, and all obtained their develop
ment under the contract labor sys-
TEN, whereby plantations imported
Japs or Chinese. Under that plan big
plantations spread over the islands,
until there was $121,0OO.00O invested
in the stock of these corporations.
Annexation doomed all these
stocks, and every clerk. professional
man and teacher rushed in to buy to
the extent of his means, and often to
boom passed it was found Spreckels
and few other operators had I'M
loaded. Annexation had extended to
the islands our immigration and labor
laws. Labor contracts were void and
no more labor could be brought from
China. Labor became scarce and
prices advanced.
Taxes Are Higher.
The customs revenues of the ISL
and~. amounting to $1,500,oOO a year,
instead Of going to the support of the
island government, after annexation
dropped into the treasury of the
United States. High taxes became
necessary to maintain local govern
ment. Annexation also gave the
Kanakas the ballot and incompetent
natives soon filled the government of
fees. Then came the development OF
the beet sugar industry, then rectproc-
ity with Cuba, and at each step sugar
prices in the Hawaiian islands de-
clined
There IS no hope of diversified
farming, no possibility of dividing
these plantations into small holdings

eminent The remedy, so far as there
is one, lies with congress, and the col
onial policy that shall make most Of

should not be said that the United
States failed to provide laws adapted
to their needs and that they languish

The Bowery rang with cheers for

the "Bowery Boy" as they proudly
call him, had been initiated in the
house of representatives and had
turned a trick in his first forty-eight
hours Of service that marked him in
the eyes of his constituents as a ma
tional leader and inspired them with
the hope some day to see him nom
mated for the presidency.
''Y ou see,'' he explained to a World
reporter on the Bowery last night,

membership in the ways and means

ton from congress in order that the
place might go to the most worthy
