PRESIDENT ELECTROMAGNETIC
Regret and III Feeling Because He Didn't
visit the American Railway Exhibit.

Regret and nj Feeling Because He Didn't
visit the American Railway Exhibit.
WASHINGTON, May IA good deal Of I'll
feeling has been caused by the failure
Of President Roosevelt to visit the American
Railway Exhibit on the Monument grounds,
since his return to Washington. The
exhibit closed last night, but the exhibitors
were willing 70 keep It open until tonight
and would have done so II the President
had consented to visit II to-day. Chair
man Post Of the committee ~ arrange
ments was confident that the President
would make at least a flying visit to the
exhibit, for the Vice-President and mem
bers OF the Cabinet had been to see Il and
expressed their appreciation Of what they
saw.
Some Of the exhibitors and visiting rail-
way men expressed the opinion to-day
that President Roosevelt was not aware
Of the committees desire that he visit
the grounds. Chairman Post went to the
White House yesterday. but did not see
the President Secretary Loeb told him
that II would be impossible for the Presi-
dent TO attend.
For some reason Mr.. Loeb attempted to
communicate with Mr.. Post at an earl
hour this morning, and in conversation
with him later in the day over the telephone
asked when IL would be convenient 10 the
committee for the President 20 visit the
grounds. Mr.. Post expressed his regret,
saying that the work OF removing the eX-
hibits had begun last night and that every
thing was In a chaotic condition.
'Of course, Il was a great and bitter dis
appointment 30 us, said Mr.. Post to-day,
that the President could not visit our en-

Nothing Heard From Senator Plat, Chair
man Of the Investigating Committee.
Z WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The investigation
authorized by Congress into the charges
Of extravaganza in Government printing
has not yet begun. Senator Thomas G.
Platt is chairman Of the Joint investigating
committee, which includes the Printing Com
mittee Of the Senate and three members
OF the Printing Committee Of the House.
It was announced when Congress adj
journed that the committee would meet
about May and that all it's sessions would
be held in Washington. Nothing has been
heard from Senator Plat however, and II
il not believed that full attendance could
be obtained during the hot weather, which
will soon be here. No explanation Of the
delay has been given,
It Is charged that the waste In printing
has reached tremendous proportions; that
documents with costly bindings pile up the
expenditures into many thousands and that
many documents which have practically
no general value are printed and sold as
waste paper.

OF SUGAR
MADE IN 1854
MADE ON S. G. WILDERS KUALOA
PLANTATION-HAS BEEN poll
ARIZED-WORTH $40 A TON.

A most interesting incident in con-
nectiOn with the early days Of the SUI
gar industry in these Islands, and with
the changes in processes which have
gone on since, centers around a sample
OF sugar made In 1864, which Gerrit L.
Wilder has just had polarized.
This specimen is sugar that was made
at the plantation of mis- father, S. c.
Wilder Kualoa, on this Island, i'm 1864.
1t was sugar made by John Wilder as
sugar boiler. 1t was made in what was
known as an open sorghum pan, Just
such an appliance as is now used for
making sorghum among the farmers of
the Mississippi valley.
The sample has been kept in a sealed
bottle ever since. At the suggestion OF
e. ID. Tenney, Mr.. Wilder sent the shm-
pie down to Eva to the chemist Oh mat
plantation to have II polarized. The
result was that it polarized 1853, which
at the price of sugar prevailing a week
or two ago, would make it worth in
New York, $40 "A ton. The New York
price, as most people know, Is ths price
of 96 degree sugar. II it pOlarizes
higher than that II is worth more than
the market quotation. II ii polarizes
less, IL is worth less than the quota
ton 1t is because the polarization of
this sugar is so low, that its market
value would be so much less than the
quotation,
There has been considerable interest
developed in the matter and some ran
sacking of records to find out what the
price of sugar was in those days. While
found out, the indications are that the
price was at least ten cents a pound,
or 5000 a ton

SHARES IN
A SLAVE GIRL
EXTRAORDINARY STATES
COMMISSIONER SHOW THE SALE AND TRANSFER PROP
ERTY RIGHTS I A GIRL FoURTEEN-HER CONTROL BAR

IF death or anything else should be
her fate, no one shall be blamed" is
one OF the privisions contained in the
Chinese contracts for the alleged sale
and transfer Of young Chinese girl
named Lau Wal Kong, as shown by
translations of the contracts produced
in evidence before United States Com
missioner Judd. The contracts were
offered by District Attorney Breckons
in the hearing Of the case Of Chong
Chung Yuen. There are several agree
ments tracing various transfers of the
girl. The first one produced was as
follows:
Know all men by these Presents,
that whereas, the undersigned, Wong
10y, and one Lau Wal Kong, did to-
gether, sometime since purchase a girl;
and whereas, 1 now need money; and
can get it in no other way 1 now agree
to sell my one-half share to Lau Wal
Kong for the sum of s135, to me now
paid in full; hereafter Wong 10y has
nothing to do with the said girl. II
Wong 10y owes any person any money,
Lau Wal Kong cannot be called on to
pay the same. {,
Verbal agreement is not proof, so
this paper is written and handed to
Lau Wal Kong, to be held by him as
proof"
The next agreement gives the girl to
ChOng Chung Yuen, ito control her."
and says, 1--WE are mutual friends and
therefore we need no go-between," and
then it sets forth the payment of $780,
for "the boarding and expenses of said
woman" and proceeds as follows:
Il have this day received in full the
said sum of $3.50, and deliver the said
girl to Mr.. Chong Chung Yuen for his
