New Ideas in Railroading.

Much praise has been given the Rus
slams for their ability to conduct in any
manner at all a great campaign at the
end Of a single track railroad five thou
sand miles long. Nor should such praise
be grudged, fer in the Russian collapse
it il easy to overlook both the special
handicaps under which the Russians
have labored, and those things in which
they have made worthy achievements.
But the Japanese operation Of the rail-
roads seized in Manchuria and the milf
tary railroad and tramway built in
in Korea up to the Yalu at the open.
ing of hostilities, is more remarkable
than that which Russia has accom-
plished in Siberia. The Japanese took
poorly built railroad, captured from
the enemy after having been destroyed
as far as possible after the retreat,
changed 1t from wide to narrow guage,
brought over locomotives and cars from
Japan, and put the line into stape to
carry the supplies and achievements
for the army of 100000 besieging Port
Arthur, and the other army of 300,-
600 TO 100000 men three hundred miles
to the north. They did all this in a
few months in all the severity of mid
winter Port Arthur's fall was due
largely to the terrific bombardment Of
the eleven-inch guns brought up from
Dalny on the railroad. Twenty-Five Of
these guns, weighing ten tons each with
out their carriages, we're placed in the
besiegers' forts under fire, and within
three weeks from the surrender they
were hammering the enemy before
Nukden, having been bought with
Nosi's army of 100000 men distance
Of $50 miles on The railroad. Japanese
have been in the habit of coming to this
country to learn railroading. As the
Railroad Gazette remarks, American
railroad managers and engineers might
send some of their young men to the
Far East to learn some things about
railroads they never thought Of

ALMOST DIED ON TRIP.
Secretary Of State Hay Given Up on
First Part of Sea Voyage.


New York, April 26. According to
the officers Of White Star liner Cretie,
which arrived here from Genoa and Ma
pies yesterday, Secretary of State John
Hay, who sailed on the steamer on the
Eastern trip, almost died on the way
over.
One of the officers of the Cretic said:
lin spite of the stories that Score
tary Hay had fair passage it is a
fact that he almost died on the way
out. There was one time when he was
practically given up After we left here
Secretary Hay was taken to his state
room and put to bed.
Mrs. Hay went with him and nursed
him. Then, ON the second day out, she
collapsed and had to be put to bed.
Our physician, DIR. Alfred Green, was
in constant attendance, but for days
it was question whether Secretary
Hay would live or not
1.-THE day before we reached Genoa,
Mr.. Hay managed TO get up for the
first time. He went To the dining room,
supported by Lord and Lady Gordon
Lenox, but was unable TO remain there
for part of the meal. The sea voyage
worked wonders with him, but it WAS
a grave question for days whether he
would survive it or not"

went away. Heron picked UP the box
and papers and kept them until the

ALL BECAUSE OF THE BEEF TRUST
Immense Losses inflicted on the West
by the Vast Packing Combination.


Mr.. Charles L. Russell, writing Of
the Greatest Trust in the World in
the May number Of Everybody's, shows
what the Beef Trust has cost the farm
er, the local banker, and the feeder. He
says:
From July, 1908, to July, 1901, the
average loss on every head Of cattle
fattened and sold in the Middle West
was SIS. OF course there could be but
one result the farmer, the real sup
porter Of a large part of the Middle
West, became straitened in his money
affairs to the general ill-fortune of his
neighborhood, and in many regions the
farm mortgage, that bhghting emblem
of wrong conditions, returned to an evil
eminence from which it had once been
banished.
1.-THE total losses Of the cattle-feeders
in Iowa, in 1904 are computed at S12,
500 900. In 1908 and 1904 forty banks
in Iowa failed, closed their doors, or
went out of business, and at least seven
bank officers committed suicide. Even
in time OF national business depression
and panic there has been no such record
as this.
Mr.. Doane Robinson, secretary of
the Historical Society, has estimated
the losses, in 1904, to South Dakota cat
tlemen at $10,000,000,
In Iowa, S12, $780, 900; in South Da-
kota, $10,000000; and wherever in the
Middle West cattle were sent to market,
an average loss of eight dollars a head"

A WHIRLWIND

LIHUE, March 1S.-A whirlwind of
unusual severity occurred in Lihue
on Wednesday afternoon. 1t started
near the premises of the public school
house, cross the road and entered Mr..
Wilcoxs cane field which is now be-
ing harvested. Every loose thing in
it's course was picked up by the whirl
and in some places it is said to have
taken the water from the bitches. La
borers engaged in cutting cane were
taken by surprise and fearful lest they
should be also picked up by the storm,
threw themselves prone upon the
ground. For just a little while It took
on a serious aspect as a portion of
the fields was being burned off and the
wind in picking up the burning trash
threatening to scatter 1t in the cane
field, but fortunately the eddie was too
strong and lifted the burning matter
high in the air and before returning
to the ground It was all extinguished.
The trash, which vas lifted hundreds
of feet in the air was scattered all over
Lihue ana as rar as the Hanamaulu
gulch.

he was within reach of American JUS
tice for any kind of embezzlement. No
expense was spared in following him
up. Secretary Gait of the trust COM
pany has been in close cable communi4
cation with the local government for
some time. All the extradition pa
pers were prepared and the arrest in
London was ordered, and this morn
ing a cable came from the London
police, through the Secretary of State
at Washington, stating that Kapea
was in custody. He will therefore be
brought back at once.
Governor Carter expresses himself as
emphatically approving the policy of
sending for anyone who escapes trial
by leaving the islands, to combat the
idea that it is safe to commit crime
here and then get aboard a steamer
and go, In the Kapea case, he de-
clined to act unless the company pay
expenses as there is no money on hand
for the trip. The company agreed to
supply funds and this made the extra
dition possible.

There was a reception to DR.. David

The members of the club, of whom

were presented to Dr. Jordan. Follow
ing this DR.. Jordan made an address ot
some length, in the course of which he
recounted a number of very interesting
incidents in the history Of Stanford
University. Some Of these threw a
very clear light on the strong faith and
fortitude shown by Mrs. Stanford in
some of the dark hours of the Univer-
sity. At one time, after the adverse
decision of the courts i'm the suit
brought by the United States against
those who constructed the Central Pa
cific road, when the University was
without funds, Mrs. Stanford offered
her jewels, the collection of life time,
to carry on the work She went to
England at the time of the Diamond
jubilee of Queen Victoria, believing
that would be a good time and place
to sell them. She was disappointed,
however, in the prices offered and only
sold $50 900 worth. This however tided
the University over a critical priod,
and lated Mrs. Stanford devoted the re-
mainder of her Jewels to the mosaic
and other mural decorations in the new
chapel, said to be the handsOmest
building of the kind in the world.

HENRY KAPEA

IN LONDON
HAWAIIAN
BONDS THAT NOT BELONG
COUNTRY LONDON AND HENRY VIDA


Henry Kapea former clerk of the
Trust Company, has been
arrested in London on a charge of en-
bezzling about $4,000 of the company's
funds and securities, and he will be
brought all the way back here, under
extradition papers which have already
been prepared. The Territory, at the
expense of the Trust Company, will
send Deputy Sheriff Henry Vida to

him to Honolulu for trial.
Kapea was a trusted employe of the
Hawaiian Trust Company until he sud
denly disappeared and it was found
that there was a large shortage, on ac-
count of which he was subsequently
indicted. He went to Japan, where he
was safe from extradition, as the ex-
tradition treaty with Japan does not
include embezzlement among the ex-
traditable crimes, except embezzle-
ment of government money. The trust
company, however, did not lose track
of Kapea. He left Japan and went

ADMIRAL WHITING
DID NOT DEPART
REMAINED AT QUEENS HOSPITAL.
ON ACCOUNT OF INJURY-CAP-
TAIN OF BALTIMORE TO BE
COURT MARTIALED.

Admiral w. H. Whiting, who was in
jured last night by a fall from an cleo
trio car on King street, was unable to
resume his voyage to Manila on the s.
S. Siberia. While his fall is not thought
to be apt to produce any fatal results,
still the physicians decided that It
would be wiser for the Admiral to re-
main on shore for a rest and not risk
any relapse by going on shipboard. He
will probably depart by the S. S. Mon
golia leaving Honolulu March "a. He is
now at the Queens hospital
The court martial which has been
called at CaYite is to hear charges
against an officer who put his vessel
ashore in the Malacca Straits and is
said to have failed to report the occur
renee. The vessel was the cruiser Bal
timore. The boat sustained no dam
age but the incident should have been
reported. A court martial would in all
likelihood have acquitted him of negli-
gence for he was not to blame in the
matter. In the alleged failure to re-
port the occurrence however a serious
breach of naval regulations was COM
mitted and the trials to be held are on
those charges and not the grounding of
the vessel.
Admiral Whiting was reported as
resting easily at the Queens Hospital
today. He has not sustained a frac-
ture of the skull or concussion, but as
he was vomiting this morning it was
deemed advisable not to allow him to
depart by the Siberia for the Orient, as
some brain trouble might ensue.
