ties, and has been In jail since that time

out just as Bradley said You know he
said you would tire OF me in a little
while. Fred. for Gods sake. don't let It
come true. as | will go crazy You know
what you left in my care"
The writer OF the letter spoke OF her
arm paining her so that she felt II neces-
sary 10 lie down and rest for the after
noon.
The police say that they will question
the woman in the proper time regarding
the pain In her arm TO which she re-
ferred. They also are anxious 10 learn,

NEARLY
DROWNED
IN TRENCH

Raoul Lamontagne four-year-old son of
Eusebe Lamontagne. Chagnon's block
River street. Woonsocket, had a narrow
escape from drowning late yesterday
afternoon in the Main street trench
The lad was playing about Market
square and wandered into the enclosed
space, falling into the water. The cur
rent carried him through the trench
under the square 10 the Lppitt Mil
trench and at that place he was res
cued by Albert Pitcairn and William Reil-
ly. They Jumped down the eight-foot
water wall and Reilly, hampered by
heavy clothing, was nearly exhausted
when helped out. The Lamontagne boy
was resusitated by DR.. Bernard in about
five minutes.
A wait OF a minute more on the part of
the rescuers would probably have re-
suited in the lads drowning, as he would
have been carried under the Ray Cotton
company trench.

DIGEST OF ANGLO=JAPANESE TREATY.
Given Out BY Paris Although Official Document Has Not
Been Made Public.-Czar Will Pay Indemn-
ty From His Individual Purse.

HONOLULU, Sept. 19.-J. P.
Cooke was closeted with Governor
Carter and Treasurer Campbell
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Cooke
went to the Capitol to confer on
the question of the disposition of
certain taxes collected in the vari-
Gus islands, he being of the opinion
that such taxes, SO collected, should
be devoted to the islands yielding
them.
"For instance" said Mr.. Cooke
to an Advertiser man before going
into the Robin's-Egg Blue room,
1.-THE income taxes for the Maui
plantations are returned in Homo
lulu. Therefore, Maui does not get
the benefit of these special taxes.
1t is practically case of Maui pay
ing over taxes for the maintenance
of the county of Oahu.
with county government estab-
lished 1 think it is the right thing
that the taxes should be given to
the counties producing them. The
trouble lies in the fact that the law
REQUIRES the returns to be made in
the city or place where the offices
of the corporations are located.
eff the worst comes to the. worst
the plantations, say on Maui,
might change the location of their
offices from Honolulu to Maui,
merely maintaining an agency
here. In that way they might get
the benefit of these special taxes"
Mr.. Cooke stated his views on the
loan funds. He has had talks be-
fore with the Governor over the
question of building public works
according to the reading OF the
legislative acts providing for the
disposition of loan fund money.
The Governor had told him that
the spending of the money on such
works as new wharyes, etc., would
benefit the Territory, in some in
stances, more than other works,
and would pay for themselves in a
very few years. Naturally, Mr..
Cooke looks to see funds spent on
Maui in which he is especially in
terested.

tary Mead of the Planters Associa-

ANGLO-JAPANESE PEACE
TREATY.

PARIS, September Although
copies of the Anglo-Japanese treaty
have not yet reached the powers,
its principal changes from the
former treaty are known in diplo-
matte quarters. One of the high
est of these says that the principal
new features are the following:
First The provision in the old
treaty making the alliance appli-
cable only to the Chinese littoral is
changed so that the new provision
makes the alliance applicable to all
Asia up to the line crossing Persia
from northFto south indicated by
the tifty-first degree of east longi-
tude. The significance of this change
is the inclusion of India and also
Indo-China, where France has sus-
pected Japan of having designs.
The effect of the change tends to
preserve the present status quo of
French authority in Indo-China
and the status quo of India.
Second-The provision in the
old treaty making the alliance
operative if either ally is attacked
by two powers is changed so that
the alliance becomesleffective when
either is attacked by one power.
Third-The primary underlying
principle of the treaty is defensive
and the maintenance of existing
conditions.
The foregoing changes cannot be
stated as official or authoritative,
but they are given with positive
ness by those in position to have
accurate advices.

APPROPRIATIONS CUT.

HONOLULU, Sept. 15.--Under
the contemplated bond issue Of
$75O,OO0, all of the various island
appropriations made by the last
legislature, amounting to over a
million dollars, are to be ignored.
The governors plan is to carry out
the general Territorial appropria-
tions and ignore the others.
The appropriation bill set aside
over 100000 for these general
appropriations, but some items
will be cut out from them, to bring
the total down to $75O,00O and to
allow for adding $4,000 for the
leper boys home. The item OF
100000, for extension of wharf
system, Honolulu, may be cut out
or reduced, in order to allow for
some road improvements. In the
list of appropriations made by the
legislature, as given hereafter, the
items which it is proposed to spend
are those under the general head.
