Honolulu, Oct. 20. - Acting under
instructions Of the United States attor-
ney general, District Attorney Breckens
has instituted the first OF a number Of
injunction suits for the purpose Of.
breaking up the local trusts.
A suit was filed today against the
firms OF Allen & Robinson, Levers 4
Cooke and Wilder 4 Co. 1t asks that
the Federal court issue q perpetual In
junction restraining the above named
firms from carrying out an alleged
agreement controlling the entire lum.
Der business of the islands,
1t is alleged that the three firms
named control 90 per cent Of the busi-
ness here and have combined, in viola
tion of an act of congress to prevent the
unlawful restraint of trade. Ii is fur
ther alleged that the price of lumber
here, as result Of the combination, is
l75 per cent in advance Of that on the
msinland. Practically all the lumber
used here is imported.
United States District Judge Dole
signed an order to show cause why the
injunction should not be issued. The
hearing was set for December 1.
1t is reported that Mr.. Breckens is
about to file a similar suit against the
cattle and meat dealers, OF whom there
are about 20, including many very
prominent ones. 1t is. alleged that
practically all of the cattle ranohers Of
the island have combined to control re-
tail prices, agreeing not to compete and
to sell only at a single market in Hon.

Reno, New, Oct. 20. - From an un.

CAL, at o'clock last night, and when
the flames were under control late this
afternoon the greater portion of the
thriving Modoc county town was in
ashes, at least $75, 900 worth of prop
erty being swept out of existence. The
fire started in candy factory, from
what cause will probably never be
known. A brisk wind carried the
flames from one building to another,
the fire fighters being unable to check
its course.

WARSHIPS IN CARIBBEAN.
France Ready to Enforce Demands on
Venezuelan Government.

Washington, Oct. 20.-secretary Root
is doing all he can to assist in bringing
about settlement OF the differences
between the French and Venezuelan
governments growing out of the refusal
of the latter to longer maintain diplo-
matte relations with NJ. Taigny, French
charge d'affairs, in Caracas. Today he
discussed the situation with both NJ.
Jusserand, the French ambassador, and
Senior Veloz, the Venezuelan charge
d'affairs here.
The French ambassador, as he was
leaving the State department, said NJ.
Taigny was entirely without fault in
the matter. He had merely obeyed the
directions of the Paris foreign office
when he sent to the Venezuelan gov
ernment a letter of protest against its
action in seizing the property of the
French cable company.
Therefore," said the ambassador,
"France will support him." He added
significantly: "We have two beautiful
warships now in the Caribbean sea-"

AMERICAN RIGHTS SUSTAINED
Root Proves Gloucester Fishermen
May Fish of Newfoundland.

Washington, Oct. 20. -- After con.
ference between Secretary Root and Sir
Mortimer Durand, the British ambas-
sador, lasting for an hour and a half,
it was announced that speedy and
satisfactory solution OF the Gloucester
Newfoundland fisheries controversy was
in sight. The facts obtained showed
that the Newfoundland inspector OF
revenue protection service directed that
American vessels should not be allowed
to fish under American register, on the
ground that they had never done so in
the past. Prior to this time the Amer
ican fishermen had bought bait in New
foundland under fishing license. They
are now prevented by law from buying
bait, and the authorities have been un.
willing to permit them to catch herring
without a special fishing license.
Mr.. Root informed the ambassador
that an American register is ships
highest proof Of nationality, and carries
with it not only license to trade, but
also a regular fishing license.
AS soon as this fact is made clear to
the Newfoundland authorities, it is ex.
pected they will withdraw all obiec-
tion. Meantime, the American fisher.
men, with the approval of the State
department, have been instructed 10
continue their fishing.

Australia for Irish Home Rule.

Melbourne, Australia, Oct. 2l.--The
Federal house of representatives and
senate today adopted motion to pc
titiOn King Edward to grant home rule
to Ireland. The success Of the home
rulers is attributed in a large measure
to William Redmond's recent cam
paign in Australia. The motion has
been hotly debated and the Labor party
and Liberals supported the Home
Rulers. The Federal premier, Alfred
Deakin, promised to vote for the home
rule principle as a necessary prelimi'
nary to the federation OF the empire.

GIVES UP HARVEY SCHEME,
Government Cannot Reclaim Great
Valley in Southern Oregon.

Washington, Oct. 2l.-The Reclaim.
alton service has, for the present, at
least, abandoned the idea OF construct
ing an irrigation project in Harney
valley, in Southern Oregon, and it now
seems improbable that government
project will ever be built there. Much
land in that vicinity is now in private
ownership, owners are not prepared to
make satisfactory terms with the gov
ernment and furthermore, water rights
are in such a condition that litigation
would probably be necessary before the
government could build.
In view of this fact the secretary OF
the Interior, on recommendation Of
the Reclamation service, today with
drew his objection to the right Of way
which the Portland Ditch company
sought to acquire for its canal in Har-
ney valley.
