The Springfield Republican says:
After spending seventeen hours on a
small rock mile out of Bradford,
Conn. in Long Island sound, Harold T.
Damon of Honolulu, William Baxter,
Jr.. of Wilmington, Del, and W. H.
Coursen OF Scranton, Pa, three Yale
students, were rescued after II CLOCK
last night from their apparently peri
lous position by Capt. Edward Baldwin
of Branford, who put out from that
place in a naphtha launch. The three
students seemed little the worse for
their days experience, and when they
landed on shore said they had had a
fine time. They started from Double
Beach at ) O'Clock yesterday morning
on a duck shooting trip in two small
duck boats. The men were about a
mile off shore when a fierce wind
sprang up and they were compelled to
land somewhere, as their small boats
were nearly swamped. Taunton rock,
long fiat rock near by, was the near
est landing place. and they made for it.
This rock at high tide is exposed for
about fifty feet, and is almost fiat, be-
ing about six feet above water at it's
highest point.
As the day wore on the wind in
creased, and by noon it was blowing at
the rate of forty miles an hour and had
kicked up an immense sea. The waves
which swept the sound broke over the
little island, and those from shore saw
the perilous position of the three men.
1t was impossible to make rescue,
and the towing companies of New
Haven wonld not risk sending a tug to
the spot. Last night, however, the
wind died down, and at 10 o clock Will
liam Stannard put out in duck boat
for the island. but returned soon, say
ing that he could get no response 60
his shouts He was able to get within
thirty feet of the rock. About an hour
later Capt Baldwin went out with his
launch and found the men lying under
their upturned duck boats. They had
prepared to spend the night on the
rock The students were met by sew
eral Yale men, who went to Branford
and who had spent hours in their eff
forts to have their companions rescued.

Warrants of arrest were sworn out
by Attorney General E. c. Peters yes
terday against Y. Okumoto, s. B. Flu
tiyama. K. Odo, K. Iwakani and K.
Yamamoto. on the charge of import
ing fruit without making request
to the authorities for its inspection.
This is a misdemeanor under the Ag-
ricuIturaI Act for which the penalty
is a fine of not more than $500.
Two others of the Japanese import
ers of fruit who have begun deter
mined resistance to the provisions of
the law for protecting the Territory
from the introduction of plant blights
and insect pests escaped liability by
staying out of the game. These are Z.
Kobayachi and K. Iwahara, who, in
slang phrase, got cold feet" and did
not come forward to claim their share
of the suspected fruit.
Since the destruction of infected
porters at Asiatic ports have got
the latest consignments have come here
ito order" This is a trick to escape
the payment of duty in the event of
the destruction of the fruit by official
orders.
Under a ruling lately made, which
was published in the Advertiser Of
Monday last, duties are payable on
goods destroyed under the Federal
pure food law even though never de-
livered to the consignee. By analogy
the rule should apply to imports de-
stroyed by other lawful authority.
Collector Stackable, however, saw
the game of the fruit importers and
held up the questionable consignment
arriving in the Doric ten days ago
until he could see where the duties
were going to come from. The customs
officers did not pass the fruit now in
dispute until Tuesday last.
The fruit was sold at auction as per-
ishable goods on Wednesday, a pro-
ceeding that seems to have brought it's
importers out from cover. Engaging
Thompson & Clemens as his attorneys,
Yamamoto brought an action of re-
plevin for recovery of the fruit. This
fact the Advertiser published on
Thursday morning.
Now the tables are turned and the
importers have to answer for alleged
violation of law.
On the alarm being given by Alex
ander Craw, chief of entomology, the
Board of Agriculture took prompt ac-
ton. Besides the arrests of importers
just mentioned, an injunction suit has
been brought to prevent the delivery OF
the oranges without their being in
spected.
Judge De Bolt signed the temporary
writ of injunction at 2 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The suit is brought by
L. A. Thurston, president, the other
Commissioners OF Agriculture and For
estry, named, and c. S. Holloway, ex-
off1cio member of the Board of Com
missioners, etc, against K. Yamamoto,
importer, and J. S. Kalakiela, deputy
sheriff of the county of Oahu. 1t is
to restrain the respondents from inter-
fering with the Board of Agriculture
in it's inspection of fruits. On suing
out his writ of replevin for his oranges,
Yamamoto positively refused to allow
Mr.. Craw to inspect them.

The West Side Of Necanicum at
Seaside to be Incorporated.
SEPARATE FROM SEASIDE
The New Town viii Be Called Ocean
Grove, and the Bill viii Provide
For Separate Government
and Election of Mayor.

1t is reported that Senator Malarky
of Portland has prepared charter to
incorporate the west side OF the Ne
canicum river at Seaside as a town to
be known as the town of Ocean Grove.
Efforts have been made on several oc-
casions to include the west side in the
corporate limits of Seaside, but it met
with considerable opposition from the
people of bota sides of the river. The
greatest objection was that 1t might
result In the establishment Of saloons.
and the people Of both sides Of the river
are opposed to this. Ocean Grove will
be the popular summer resort and as
thousands Of women and children spend
the summer months there. a saloon
would result in driving people away
BY incorporating the new town 1t win
be of material advantage to Seaside,
as Seaside will be made tne base Of
supplies. 1t will also assist In the gov
ernment of the water system, as the
mains of the Seaside system run all
through the grove from the lower TO
the upper bridge. The charter Of the
town of Seaside gives the town control
over the water system within and VITA
out the town, but 1t is very probable
that satisfactory arrangements can be
made to dispose Of the portion Of the
system to the new town. il satisfactory
arrangements can be made.
The new charter will provide for the
election of a mayor and common coun-
ell composed of FIVE members, a town
clerk and a marshal to serve during
the summer season. 1t is very probable
than Dan ]. Moore win be appointed
mayor. 1t is not known who will con-
stitute the common council. Both
towns of Seaside and Ocean Grove can
cooperate for needed improvements.
AS the west side is not included with
in the corporate limits of the town of
Seaside, no police protection can be
afforded campers in the grove, and 1t
often occurs that policeman is neces-
sary, particularly for the protection Of
property for vandals. There will be no
objection on the part of the people Of
Seaside to the proposed new town.

Steamer Elders Bad PIight-oIympia
Meets With Mishap.

At the outset of her career as a
blockade runner of contraband Rus
sian goods, the steamer Olympia is
meeting hard luck. She went TO Com
ak for supply of coal for the trans
Pacific trip, and then left out for the
orient, but on her way through the
straits she blew out cylinder head
and nad to be taken back to Seattle for
repairs. When the boilerhead blew out
Chief Engineer S. S. Snyder was bad
ly scalded by live steam.
The steamer Geo. w. Elder, which
went on the rocks near Hunters point
above Goble Saturday was reported to
be in rather precarious condition last
night. When she struck the rocks
she poked a large hole amidship and the
Elder hung there. Now she has swung
partly across the river and the storm
may tilt her off the rock. In this event
she will sink like stone, as the water
is nearly 100 feet deep beside the
rocks, and, so far, 1t has been impos
sible to get tarpaulin over the hole
in order to pump the steamer clear of
the water in her hold. She carries 1000
tons of freight, but yesterday the crew
worked on her, only succeeded in get
ting out 50 tons Of cargo dry. 1t is
hoped that there will be no storm until
the Elders cargo is out and she can
be raised and supported between
wreckers. The disaster was occasioned
by the sudden breaking Of the steer
ing gear at a critical moment.
The steamer f. A. Kilburn left out
Sunday on her regular trip to San
Francisco With freight and passengers.
The passengers on the Elder when she
went on ten rocks were returned to
Portland and sent south by rail.
The French steamer Vile de Mui-
house arrived down the river today
bound for Australia in ballast.
The barkentine FL Dorado, the
steamer Northland and one ship are in
