Dr. Evans said he considered it a
privilege to come before the members
of the Research Club and tell them
something about the work of the De-
partment of Agriculture. The depart
ment originated as a bureau of the
Patent Office in 1899. An appropria-
ton for the collection of statistics and
the collection and distribution of seeds
and plants. 1t continued as. a bureau
for years before becoming a separate
department in the sixties, yet not with
a seat in the Presidents cabinet for it's
head until 1889. Norman Coleman of
Missouri was the first Secretary of
Agriculture. who held Office but a few
months before retiring with an out
going President Jeremiah Rusk, or
-"Uncle Jerry was the next, under
President Harrison. Then came j.
Stirling Morton in Cleveland's time.
James Wilson, the present Secretary,
was appointed by President Mckinley
and has just begun his ninth consecu-
tive year in office, breaking the record
for a L. S, cabinet member since ante
bellum days. He has filed two terms
and entered upon a third.

There are about a dozen bureaus in
the department whose chiefs report to
the Secretary. DIR. Evans briefly
sketched the functions of each bureau,
giving some interesting details of the
work of a number of them. The total
of appropriations for the department
was now s7,O00,O00. Mention was made
of the work done by the Bureau of
Animal Industry in investigating the
foot and mouth disease, also, as part
of the division of breeding, the efforts

The House of Representatives was
in session for an hour yesterday by

minutes business.
The only matter on the order of
the day was Senate Bill No. 9, a bill
to pay Mcdowell of Joplin, H.,
sum of $50 for an account of the Ag-
riculture and Forestry department.
Coelho stated that this bill had
been paid and committee appointed
by Speaker Knudsen, consisting of
Coelho, Haia, and Quinn confirmed this
view

THE KooLAU DELEGATE.

A resident of Koolaupoko furnishes
the Advertiser with the following rea-
sons why Koolauloa defeated Koo-
laupoko" in the county convention.
Between the lines it does not appear
that Dick Lanes nomination for SUI
pervisor is much of a joy in the Koo
laus:
The delegates from Koolaupoko and
Koolauloa were unable in the conven-
ton to agree as to a supervisor
Through the interference of Senator
and corporations the Rev. w. K. Lee
leiwi of 1<oolaupoko was defeated and
the well known Dick Lane elected.
Perhaps the next time hands will
be kept off and Kaneohe will be per-
mitted to nominate a Hawaiian with
a clean record. Anyhow, a lesson has
been taught that to think Hawaiian
delegates can be brought over is not
always a sure thing.
Had Andrew Adams of Kahuku had
the sense to retire in favor of Rev.
w. K. Leleiwi the County of Oahu
would not have the honor of having
Dick Lane as supervisor"

AfteF His Journey.


Ion Perdicaris, the prisoner Of the bandit
RAisuli is In New York, having come back
on the Deutschland last Thursday and
slipped away without attracting notice
to a place where he can rest and avoid
the reporters for a while. His American
agent, Judge Robert 8. Woodruff Of Trenton,
said yesterday:
'Mr. Perdicaris Ia resting from the Ia
tlgue Of tiresome journey. He In In bis
usual health but, being tired from the
voyage, he will not show himself for several
days. He desires TO be at leisure until
that time, and l am under obligations
not to disclose his whereabouts at present.

his Trenton home before he goes abroad
again, his visit here being purely private
one.
when Mr.. Perdioaris comes TO Trenton
he will be delighted 10 receive the reporters
He will not be In Trenton until the latter
part Of next week
The capture Of Mr.. PerdicaTis by Raisull
the Moorish bandit, created an international
episode last summer and gave rise TO Presi-
dent Roosevelts epigram; 'Perdicaris
alive or Raisun dead
Mr.. Perdicaris's father was a Greek,
but he himself, although he lived In Morocco
for twenty years. counts as an American
citizen. On May II last Raisuli, bandit
and revolutionary, captured him and his
stepson, Cromwell Marley, an Englishman,
in their home on the outskirts Of Tanger.
The bandit held them for q ransom Of
SIS, 900 and the granting Of certain political
immunities. The American Government,
followed by the British and French, brought
pressure to bear on the Sultan and sent
warships to Tangier. The Sultan finally
yielded to all the bandits demands and
Perdicaris and Varley were released on
June rs, after more than a month Of cap
tivity in the interior Of Morocco.

GAVE A bogus CHECK.
An Old offender. 90 Years OF AGE, Arrested
in Brooklyn for sWtndlinE.

Robert Mcneil, 90 years old, OF ass Stone
avenue, Brooklyn, was arrested yesterday
on the charge Of grand larceny. The COM
plAinant Ia William H. Edwards a real
estate dealer, OF 1925 Nostrand avenue.
Mcneil visited Mr.. Edwards's Offices, and
after several interviews agreed TO purchase
the property at 1891 Nostrand avenue.
This was satisfactory, but Edwards asked
for deposit Mcneil said that was simple,
and then, alth ough Mr.. Edwards only
wanted 500, Mcneil drew a check for $3.50
This was on April Q, Mr.. Edwards then
deposited the check and sent the owner,
Henry Smith Of Carlsbad, n. j., a letter
explaining the sale, and also enclosed a
check for $50, retaining 500 as his COM
missicn Several days later McNeil's check
was returned to Mr.. Edwards marked no
good Then Mr. Edwards notified the
police.
After leaving Mr.. Edwards's office,
Mcneil went to tho house 1891 Nostrand
avenue, and told the tenants that he had
purchased the property and to convince
them showed the papers Mr.. Edwards had
given him. Then he promised To make
certain repairs and accidentally discovered
he had no money and borrowed several
dollars so that he could get home.
Mcneil is the same man who ten years
ago swindled the residents in the Bedford
district. He would visit an unde rtaker's
store and engage him to conduct a funeral
Then be would suddenly discover he did
not have any money with him and would

taker when he got home. The under
taker was only too willing to oblige and
did not realize he had b. en- swindled until
he visited the supposed house Of mourning
The man paid the same kind OF a visit
on the butcher, baker and coal merchant.
At length he was arrested. but while
awaiting trial he was taken III and ~ Mt 10

him was dismissed because none OF the
complatnants would appear against him.

THEY UPHOLD HILPRECHT.
Doctors Radnu and Myhrman Say the
Nippur Library Tablets Are Genuine.


PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-Testimony
more important than any yet produced
was offered to- day at the secret meeting
Of the university trustees inquiring into the
work Of Prof. Herman V. Hilprecht. After
the meeting DR.. Hugo Radau. a friend OF
Hilprecht's, gave out a statement sustaining
the latter in which he declared: There has
been intrigue against Prof Hilprecht, and
the treatment accorded him has been out
rageous.
Mrs. c. A. Haynes, wife OF the famous
explorer who went insane from hardship
at Babylon, appeared in person. She did
not bring the diary Of her husband cover
ing the time Of the explorations in dispute.
hut she confirmed from memory the testi-
mony OF Architect Clarence Fisher that
the map OF Nippur was not found on the
temple hill, As Hilprecht said.

told against Hlprecht Drs. RadAu and
Myhrman then ~ oceeded TO back up Hill
precht The latter came all the way from
Sweden to do il. DR.. Radau told how he
had carefully gone over 800 Of the tablets
discovered by Prof. HilprScht how he
had read their inscriptions and found them
to represent every phase Of literature, and
how, to his mind, there now remained no

aHaving examined those tablets, must
congratuiate not only the University Of
PENNSYLVANIA hut Philadelphia and America
as a whole on having library unlike any
other 1t is the best collection Of it's kind
In the country.
~. Radau's defense Of Prof. Hilprecht
was vehement, he had explained In the
Begin ing that he would lake the various
points IN the case in chronological order.
he had Just exhausted the first part Of his
dissertation when some one asked him
what proof he had OF one Of his assertions
Proof he repeated. A scientist need
offer no proof That is the way with Prof
Hilprechts critics. They keep shouting
for proof They should accept his state
ments and walt until his books are pub

Il was then suggested that DIT. RadAu
give a summary Of his allegations and
explanations.

Moresnet is a sort Of no mans territory,

and Belgium agreed that there should be
no gambling there and the syndicate was
fined and the rooms closed.
The syndicate appealed TO the high court

gambling altogether declaring that the
entrance of a single German or Belgian
subject into the gaming rooms would be
the signal for the descent Of the police
