NEWS OF WORLD AT LARGE
LATER THAN COAST FILES

however, that 1t was strange for Rus
slams to first hear of the Cars words
by way OF America.
: The Novoe Vremya, referring to the
reports of the offer of good offices
from the United States, France and
Great Britain, asks: rs such action
necessary when the whole world has
been informed of what His Majesty
has graeiously been pleased to say to
the diplomats at the Winter Palace?
How Is Ii possible to render further
service to the cause of peace after the
Car has announced that he will d-
rect all his influence to maintain it?
"A more precious guarantee that
Russia will not draw the sword 1t is
impossible to conceive"
The Novoe Vremya concludes as fol-
lows:
Japan is in an unfortunate position
and will require great tact to avoid the
dangers arising from the good offices
of officious friends"
AS a sidelight on the situation, the
Moscow Gazette announces that it's
editors and other employees are donat-
ing their salaries to the purchase of a
swift privateer, adding that the sum
of $4,000 has already been raised for
this purpose.
A CRY FROM MACEDONIA.
BOSTON, Jan. 1S.-The latest reports
to the American Board from the relief
centers in Macedonia show that there
are now 100000 persons who are home
less and without means of support for
the winter. OF this number between
$4,000 and $4,000 are in Monastir Villa
yet. The Turkish Government is af-
fording some relief and funds are COM
ing from America and England. There
is fear on the part of those on the
ground that unless some decisive steps
are taken during the winter there will
be another political outbreak in the
spring.

FORMER CON.
TRACTOR DIES

George Kempton, an aged New Eng
lander. died yesterday morning at the
residence of Mrs. A. A. Montana, Ma
noa valley, after a brief illness. For
the past thirty-eight years he has been
cared for by Mrs. Montana.
The deceased was born at Kingston,
Mass, January 90, 1922, and he was.
therefore little over 50 years of age.
He was the eldest son of Abigail Di-
mond Kingston. the only family name
of record left by him. His father was
prominent ship owner of Kingston
and at one time he controlled a large
fleet of vessels. Kempton came to Ha-
wall in the sixties and for some time
was a contractor and architect. He
and partner named Thomas built a
bank structure on Kaahumanu street
below the old Kapiolani Estate office,
and the first reservoir in Nuuanu val
ley was his work.
While engaged in experimenting
some construction nearly forty years
ago he was overcome by heat and was
removed to the American hospital,
then in charge of the late Mr.. Ben Da-
vison. When Mr.. Dawson left the
institution, Mr.. Kempton went with
him. and has ever since been cared for
by Mrs. Montano's family. His mind
remained clouded to the time Of his
death. He was well educated man,
and was especially keen in mathemat-
les.
The remains will be cremated today.

AN EXHIBIT
NOT LIKELY
Outlook Is Poor for
Hawaii at st.
Louis.

There appears to be little hope for a
Hawaii building at the St. Louis Ex-
position. If any exhibit for the Is
lands should be made 1t will undoubt-
ediy be very small. The whole mat
ter rests upon the decision of Gov
ernor Carter, who is expected to an
nounce 1t on his return from Hawaii.
Commissioner Macfarlane has little
hope that the appropriation made by
the Legislature will be available. He
has also learned that the community
is about evenly divided on the advisa-
bility of having an exhibit.
"In view of the cuts being made in
all departments of the government for
economy's sake" said Mr.. Macfarlane
yesterday, "the matter of Withholding
hospital subsidies, and retrenching
here, there and everywhere, gives lit
tie hope that $4,000 cash will be given
out for an exhibit at a fair When
the business community has to accept
warrants from the government, It is
naturally difficult for that body to look
with favor upon the treasury being
emptied of 100000 for fair purposes.
The business men would rather have
that 100000 to pay off the warrants.
Then there is another element of the
community looking at the proposed ex-
hibit with an eye to the future, who
strongly believe that the 900 or even
a portion of it, would be a permanent
investment to the Islands, If put out
for advertising purposes. Advertising
done at the Exposition, of course, CEN
tralizes efforts.
"Take, for instance, the profile map
of Pearl Harbor Put that on exhi-
bition at the fair where it would be
available to congressman and I'm sure
they would take an interest in it. 1t
would give them food for thought If
placed on exhibition at the War De-
er it would appear to as good advan-
tage or be as available to congressman
as at the fair.
THAT Pearl 7 ,rbor exhibit will be
an investment General Macarthur
and Admiral Evans have both said
that when Congress can get together
and vote for the building of the Pearl
Harbar naval station, it will mean mil
lions to Hawaii. No work can be
started there unless there is couple
of million dollars to carry it on. Get
this appropriation, and the armed
force and other features which mean
money to the Islands, will follow in
due order.
II know that Governor Carter has
said that in view of his retrenchment
policy it would look as if $4,000 was
being used for fair purposes at the
wrong time, but still if few thousand
dollars could be used, it would be a
great help"

A MILLION
TO Be Spent
Governor Carter
Outlines Ills
Plans.

wAIMEA, Jan. 27.-"The govern
ment will spend a million dollars in
public improvements before July 1st,"
said Gov. Carter to The Advertiser
today.
',The balance of the loan, another
million. will then be obtained and we
will put into circulation all the money
provided in the loan. l do not believe
It will be difficult to place another mil
lion in New York. There will be no
need to send another man on. l only
recently received n letter from New
York banking firm in which 1t was
said that a client had purchased the
first million through Fiske & Robinson.
and that they were willing to take any
additional loan we might place.
'.It will simply ne necessary now to
advertise the loan, have the United
Mortgage & Trust Co. strike Off more
of the bonds and they will be sold,
The loan can not be placed until after
July 1st BY that time the first million
will have been spent.
Before I left Honolulu I had ar
ranged with Supt. Holloway for the
expenditure of about 100000 of the
the Pahoa waterworks, $4,000 for pipe,
dredging contracts, etc. By this time
Mr.. Holloway has probably bought his
pipe and made new sewer contracts.
I expect the streets of Honolulu Will
all be torn up by the time 1 get back.
Supt. Holloway has written me that
he is hurrying matters so as to get
everything out of the way and to give
Hawaii improvements full sway
when / return.
KALIHI STATION.
1.-THE new pumping station at kalihi
will not be built" continued Mr.. Car
ter Instead, pipe will be added to
connect with the old plant so as to
utilize all its power. 1--e present ka-
lihi pumping station has capacity of
five million gallons but now is pump
ing only two millions. When the at
tachments are made it will be operated
to its full capacity. The new pipe will
be used also in Nuuanu and at Dia-
mond Head.
THE ARMoRY SITE.
II am glad to see Capt johnson plac-
ed in charge of the road department.
1t is good move ana he is CdpaDie
of taking charge of both bureaus. Be-
sides it effects saving of $2400 a year.
1.-THE consolidation of the garbage
and road stables is good thing too,
and will make saving. 1t will clear
away the unsightly buildings about the
Judiciary building as well, and may
allow of good site for an armory. I
think l would prefer that to waiting
for the old barracks lot"
THE KOHALA DITCH
There is a possibility that the Ko-
hala ditch franchise may be with
drawn from sale Feb. 10Th. Governor
Carter is not altogether satisfied as to
the ability of the Hawaii Ditch Co. to
fulfill the conditions and go ahead with
the work, in view of the sentiment eX-
pressed at Kohala and new conditions
may have to be added to insure the
fulfillment of the obligations due the
government.

FOR TWENTY
YEARS A MAN

VALE, Or Jan. 12.-Jo. Monehan,
who has lived for the past 20 years in
the vicinity of Jordan Valley, this
county, died suddenly at the residence
of Barney Maloy, on Succor Creek,
January 6. After death had put an
end to the earthly career of the mystic
rious 20" it was discovered that de-
ceased was woman. who, without
ever having her sex suspected had
lived for 20 years among the stock
raisers, miners and rustlers of south
eastern Malheur County.
The woman was apparently about As
years old, and. therefore, must have
been about % years old when she came
TO this country. Always dressed in
mans garb, this strange woman labor
ed at everything incident to a stock
raising country-cutting and hauling
hay, herding sheep and rounding up
cattle. Under the name of 10. None
han she had served on the regular
panel of the jury in the District Court
| for Malheur County. had performed
road work and paid poll and property
tax the same as a man. Those who
knew her well say she was retiring and
reticent, moral and modest, and. judg-
ing by her language, we'll educated.
She had taken up a homestead, and
owned about 1880 worth OF cattle. She
| had never communicated her history or
condition to any one, and the mystery
| surrounding the early life OF 10. Mon
chan, and her trials and sorrows in her
lonely cabin in Eastern Oregon will
probably never be solved.-oregonian

THOUGHT WAR
HAD BROKEN OUT

In the absence Of an afternoon cable
gram service yesterday the wholesale
stop-overs from the America Maru,
gave rise to the belief with many peo-
pie that war had broken out between
Japan and Russia and that the pas
sengers had no desire to continue
voyage on a vessel which might have
Russian shells ricochetting about 1t
before Japan was reached. The rea-
son for the wholesale stpp-overs was
that the people wanted to have a good
look at Hawaii and decided to remain
over in Honolulu for week or so.

Critchlow former Assistant United States Attorney for Utah.

KILLED IN A SNOWSLIDE
Two Miners Swept Away by hon-
 tana Avalanche.

Baker City. Ore, March 1.-Two men were killed ir a snow slide last night at the Queen of the West mine in the Cornucopia district, sixty miles northeast of here. The dead are w. H. Holland and A. C. Cox Six others were injured.
 The crash came at 5:3O when the miners were coming off the day shift. The slide raised the building and bunk houses and swept the occupants down almost to the bottom of the canon, hundreds of feet below. The dead and injured were recovered with difficulty from the debris. The mine is located in Bonanza Basin, one mile from the spot where Superintendent Fred C.. Dobler, of the Cornucopia mine lost his life ir a slide a year ,ago. The snow in the basin is from ten to one hundred feet deep.
 The slide started Midway between the Queen of the West mine and the summit gathering mass and momen tum as it thundered down tke side nf che mountain. With a tremendous roar the avalanche struck the surface plant of the mine aIid in a twinkling all that was left to mark tie spot was the office occupied by Superintendent Bert Smith.
 Below the mine the mountain side is less steep and the slide lost it's mo- Nmentum, to which fact is attributed the saving of the lives of twelve of the fourteen. who made the wild ride on the top of the slide.
 Every winter an avalanche in the Cornucopia district claims victims The heavy snow and steepness of the nouns make the safety of the miners almost impossible. All over the Blue mountains this year slides have oc- cured with heavy loss of prope rty, but yesterdays was the first loss of life.

THE NEW SECRETARY.
His Selection Game Out of New York
 Politics.

Washington, March 1i.-(SpeciaL)-It became generally understood in Wa~h- ington this afternoon that it is the iu- tention of President Roosevelt to 2lp~ point Colonel George w. Dunn Of Binghamton, x. Y, to be secretary of Arizona, t0 succeed Isaac T. StCd lard, whose resignation takes effect April l. Secretary Stoddard's former home was Binghamton, and it is said that he and Colonel Dunn are friends, but the ap-' poirtment will be made in deference to the wishes and feelings of Senator PIatt. It is known that Senator Plat took considerable interest in Secretary Stoddard's case while charges were pending against the secretary and that he was active in Stoidard's vin1ica- tion. The senator has taken a still greater interest in the case of Colonel Dunn, who is chairman of the cte republican committee in New York and since he succeeded Oden as chairman has been Platt's chief lieutenant in New York politics. Recently, it seems. Governor Odell has assumed the man. agement of the republican affairs in New York and for reasons which have not been explained decreed that Chair man Dunn must abdicate as chairman in favor of the governor himself. who heG determined to resume the grasp of the machine which he relinquisned when he became governor. It is sad by some New York politicians that Ode!rs anxiety to be chairman again iG coupled with his desire to serve a third term as governor, but more prob- ally it is his purpose to come to the United States senate as the successor of Senator Chauncey M. Depew. next year. At any rate, the governor has decided that Dunn must relinquish the position of chairman, and this decis- ion has been reached in spite of the earnest protests of Senatof Platt. made at Albany and at the White House. It is admitted that Mr. Roosevelt tried to c1tch up peace between Platt and Odell, and indicated strongly his wish that Dunn might remain chairman of the state committee. and it is asserted openly that Odell practically told the nresident to attend to his own bust ness.
 It is believed that the president has

Agua Caliente, March 11.-(Special to The Republican, n.)-Frank Zepeda shot H. A. Mcdonald at Agua Caliente to- day. On March Sth Zepeda wrote Mrs. Mcdonald, who is visiting at Gila Bend, an insulting letter. Mrs. Me Donald sent the letter to her husband here.

 A telegram was received at the CfIice of the sheriff yesterday afternoon re- questing him to come to Sentinel at once and meet the deputy sheriff who had prisoner. Later a telegram was received from H. M. Wills at Agua Caliente asking the sheriff to come there. Nothing was said in either of the telegrams of the nature of the oc- currence. The sheriff left for Sentinel last.
 Zepeda, the man who did the shoct- ing, is well known in Phoenix. He has taken an active part in politics anC was one of the delegates to the late republican county convention.

The Long Military Reign Comes to an
 End.

Telluride, Colo, March 11.-Captain Bulkcley Wells, in command o1 the military in this district, read an order on the streets tonight. signed by Gov ernor Peabody, declaring martial law here at an end.
 At banquet given to the militia men in camp here, which followed the reading of the order another order from Adjutant General Sherman M. Bell was read. directing the men to cult the camp and return to their homes.
 All the men in the camp at this time are residents of the district. The effect of the order abolishing martial law will he the doing away with the press censor, who has passed on all news sent out by correspondents for some time past, and the return of the civil authorities to power.
 It will also enable the union miners, numbering over. 100. who have been deported to return to the district. While there is no change in strike conditions as far as the members of
