METCALF HAS NO
PLANS NOW
SALNING EXPERT ARRIVED YES
TERDAY ACCOMPANIED BY CAP
TAIN PILLSBURY

The task that Captain John Metcalf,
the salving expert, has before him, is
going to be long and strenuous job.
In fact 1t probably is about the largest
proposition of the kind that he has
ever tackled.
Captain Metcalf and Captain Pills
bury arrived here yesterday. They
were, as The Star announced, would be
taken from the Ventura off Waimanalo
and carried in launch to the wrecked
Manchuria. A conference was there
held with Captain Saunders of the
wrecked craft and F. w. Klebahn after
which the salving experts came in an
automobile to the city. A conference
was held last night at the office of H.
Hackfeld and Company at which F. W.
Klebahn, w. Pfotenhauer, f. Roedick,
and E. B. Mechanism were present
with the two experts. The conference
was not of great length.
After the conference Captain Metcalf
went to the Ventura to superintend the
transfer of his salving apparatus to the
scOw Pioneer. In speaking of bis
plans and the prospects of saving the
81 have not been able as yet, to de-
termine upon any definite plans for get
ting the Manchuria off But it is GO
ing to be a long and strenuous job. In
the first place we will have to place our
anchors i'm position, which will take the
best part of a week In the meantime
our divers will make their examination
of the vessel and of the reefs surround
ing her, after which it will be decided
what is to be done.
Before this we VIII make no at
tempt to tighten the ship or remove any
of her cargo, but after it may be found
necessary to take out her cargo and
coal or to shift them in order to careen
her,
I'VE may use all Of the available
steam power to aid in pulling the yes
sci off at the proper time, but as she
lies now all of the vessels here does
not amount to that" and here Captain
Metcalf snapped his fingers.
Under the circumstances the Re-
storer or any other ship of any nation
atty has "A perfect right to do as she
is doing. 1t would be absurd otherwise
in such port as this, where the tow
ing power is so limited. At any rate
l believe that there have been some
arrangements made with the authori-
ties regarding the Restorer. or course,
only an American ship could take a
contract for salving the Manchuria
here unless special arrangements were
made"
Early this morning Captain Metcalf
and Captain Pillsbury were called at
the Young Hotel and shortly after
o'clock boarded an automobile and
started for the scene of the wreck The
indications are now that Captains Met
calf and Pillsbury will remain at the
wreck for some days, as there Is no
further occasion for them to come to
Honolulu.
The tug Fearless with the scow Pho
neer i'm tow departed about o'clock
! this morning for the scene of the wreck
taking the wrecking appliances brought
here by Metcalf
Captain Pillsbury does not come as
the representative of the marine under
writer's but has been employed as an
assistant by Captain Metcalf Pills
| bury is known as a capable man and
he rendered much aid to Captain Met
calf in the successful salving of the s.
S. Alameda last year.

A DARING
ROBBERY OFF
MANCHURIA
CONTINUED from Page One),

ter and a large amount of jewelry.
There were stick pins, rings and other
articles composed of diamonds, rubies,
sapphires and emeralds. The value
of the jewelry was between $1,000 and
$500. There were numerous other ar
ticles of personal wearing apparel
worth several hundred dollars more.
The dress suit cases were 'pinched"
from the Waimanalo landing some time
ON Monday afternoon. 1t was quite a
bold job and whoever did the work had
his nerve with him. The two dress
suit cases were lying together on the
ground by the landing at a little dis
lance from the main pile of baggage.
Just how the cases were sent to Homo
lulu is not positively known, but it is
night or Tuesday.
After the cases were landed safely
and quietly in this city the locks We're
broken open and the distribution of
the contents ensued. A good part of
the articles were placed" about the
city and some more of the swag was
secreted by the robber.
! When the disappearance of the two
dress suit cases became known there
was a big complaint registered by the
Bucks. In fact a threat was made that
a law suit for $4,000 damages would be
promptly instituted against the Pacii,
Mail Company, if the articles were no
recovered.
"Doonie" Hartman who had charg,
of all of the baggage of the passengers
proceeded to do bit of detective work
He got track of the stuff and by de-
grees, traced every article. He finall!
confronted the robber with evidenc,
of guilt and succeeded in making The
man confess and restoring every articl,
The result was that both cases together
with all of their contents, were restored
to the Bucks by Thursday night, tire,
days after the theft had been commit
ted
The Bucks are wealthy eastern peo
pie who are making a tour of tn,
world The indications are that there
win be no criminal proceedings agains
the party concerned i'm the theft.

WAS WIPED Off THE EARTH.
A Factory for the Manufacture of an
ExIosive is Destroyed-TWo Dozen
People killedand Hundreds Injured

Berlin.-A "roburit" factory near
Witten, Westphalia, exploded Tuesday
evening and was wiped from the face
of the earth.
So far as can be ascertained "a per-
sons were killed, SO were dangerously
wounded and several hundred were
slightly injured as a result of the ex-
plosion Wednesday night of the ro-
burit factory near Amen.
All the windows in the adjacent
town of Amen were destroyed by the
concussion and many houses were un-
rooted. No house escaped injury. The
inhabitants OF the immediate neigh bor-
hood fled and are expecting another
explosion in the vaults of the factory.
Roburit is an explosive of high
power, composed of saltpetre am
monia, sulphur and other ingredients.
1t is not easily exploded by a blow and
it can be burned with safety in the
open air. Its power is second to that
of dynamite.

LAND FRAUD INQUIRY.
A Special Agent of the Government
Tells of Efforts Made by Prominent
Men to Induce Him to Cease Work

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Reports
that a federal grand jury, which
has been investigating coal land
frauds, has voted several indictments
cannot be confirmed According to
the report, the indictments will not be
returned until after the close of the
investigation conducted by Edward f..
Clark, Interstate commerce commits
sioner. e. NJ. Allison, attorney for
the Rio Grande system, in arguments
before Commissioner Clark, has charg-
ed that most of the testimony brought
out was for the purpose of influencing
public opinion against persons who
might be indicted by the grand jury.
Testimony was given by Michael A.
Myendorff, special agent of the gov
ernment who began an investigation
of the coal land frauds in Utah, and
who before he had completed his in.
vestigation was transferred to Los An.
geles and then to Portland. Mr.. Myen-
dorf presented an affidavit in which
he told of efforts made by influential
men to induce him to cease his inyesti-
cation of the coal land frauds. IIe
named Senators Warren and Clark. Of
Woming, Commissioner Richards, of
the general land Office, and George f.
Pollock, chief OF Department b, in
terror department, Washington
Myendorff alleged that in Denver
Senator Warren told him he ought not
to go after the Union Pacific and incur
the enmity Of that company. He
charged that the land department at
Washington had suppressed evidence
procured by him. In two charges
which he filed against Robert Forrest
er, geologist of the Utah Fuel Co., he
alleged, no action was taken.
The witness further alleged that
George F. Pollock, chief Of Depart
ment B, interior department, instruct
ed him to destroy four affidavits which
Pacific Coal Co. Myendorff's affidavit
goes at length into the methods of the
coal companies in procuring coal lands
by entries through dummies who
transferred their rights to the corpor-
ations.
Myendorff's affidavit alleges that
on one occasion n men were taken
into offices in the Union station at
Denver, before w. l. Clifford, agent of
the Union Pacific, and signed their
names to powers of attorney. relin-
quishments and affidavits which were
used to acquire title to coal lands in
Wyoming. Some of these men, it is
asserted, signed fictitious names. The
men who signed received 81 each for
their trouble.

The Reverend Billy rose, and the
veins in his forehead stood out like
whip cords.
What are you going to do?" said
Virginia. She was standing, too, and
her hand, trembling a little, was en-
his arm.
The clerical meekness in the ath-
lete's reply was conspicuous by it's alb
sence.

rush him like a rat In a corner!"
She shook her head and pointed
eastward to the mouth of the lateral
gulch. Under cover of a clump of fir
scrub man in a wiae-happed hat and
leather breeches was climbing swift
ly to the level of the new line eau
tiously waving a handkerchief as a
peace token. THAT is the man who
arrested Mr.. Winton yesterday. This

DIRECTIONS FOR TEA cosEY.
Useful and Ornamental Adjunct to the
Table.

Take four pieces of any dull colored
SILK measuring eight and one-half
inches at the base, the half inch al.
lowing for turnings, and cut into a
dome shape 13 inches high.
Work the front and back pieces
with a japanese inscription in gold
thread, but the lettering must be pad
ded that the gold will be very much
raised when worked over.
Cut the inside pieces the same
shape, but an inch or so longer, to al
low for thick wadding lining.
Pad each inside and outside piece.
Insert thick piece of cord to an inch
in depth along the bottom to give.
the cosey the required firmness when
standing.
The inside wadding is caught to the
lining by occasional stitches.
After the four pieces are lined and
wadded, they must be sewn together
and the joins hidden by fiat sillS
cord, half an inch wider, which goes
around the bottom and finishes at the
top with four fiat and one upstand
loops.

To Cure Feathers.

Collect as soon as possible after the
plucking of the fowl. Pick out the
large feathers and place the rest in a
large pair of stout paper bags, and
heat for several hours in the oven.
During this time they should be fire.
Guently stirred and shaken. The heat
destroys the eggs of insects and
drives off the oily matter. 1t also stiff
ems the feathers, rendering them more
elastic. When thoroughly cured by
heat they should be cleansed as fol-
lows: Mix one pound quicklime with a
gallon of water When the lime is
precipitated in a fine powder, pour off
the clear lime water. Put the feath-
ers in tub and cover with the lime
water to the depth of several inches.
When thoroughly wet the feathers
will sink down and should then be left
in soak for three or four days. Rinse
in several clean waters, spread on
sieve to drain between washings and.
r1nsings, then dry in mosquito netting
bags in the sun. If one raises their
own fowls, or buys their poultry alive
they can easily keep themselves sup
piled with feathers for the many sofa.
pillows which are now in such de-
mand as Indispensable adjuncts to our
comfort.

Merins.c for Lemon Pie.

Allow twice as many level table
spoonfuls of sugar as there are whites
OF eggs, and as many whites of eggs as
are conveniently at hand. Two whites
will do, but three are better, and four
will be required, if the last of the
meringue mixture be put on with pas
try bag and tube. Beat the whites
until dry. then gradually beat in half
the sugar Continue beating until the
mixture is very glossy and firm, then
cut and fold" into it the last half Of
the sugar. Let the pie cool little
before the meringue is spread over it,
Set the pie in q moderate oven. to
cook the meringue. After ten min
utes longer if the meringue is very
high, increase the heat, if necessary,
to color the meriague slightly.

Two Ways to Cook Eggplant.

Stuffed with Nuts-Boil the egg
plant till tender; then cut into halves,
scoop out the inside, chop it fine and
add cup of English walnuts or hick-
ory nuts, tablespoonful of bread
crumbs, two well beaten eggs, salt and
pepper. Mix well, fill the shell and
bake until brown.
With Cheese-Pare the eggplant and
cut in thin slices: sprinkle with salt,
and pile, with weight on top. After
an hour wash the slices in cold water
and wipe dry; then dip into beaten
eggs and crumbs and fry brown. Make
a very large cup of white sauce, and
put layer of it into baking dish, then
layer of eggplant, then cne of grated
cheese, then sauce again, and so on.
When the dish is full put crumbs and
cheese on top and brown in the oven.

"Guns!" he yelled and at the word
aside, and the track force, over 200
strong, became an army, not with
banners, but well-weaponed withal.
Winton snapped out his orders like a

"Mulcahy, take half the men and go

fellows without hitting the car.
Branagan, you take the other half and
go down along till you can cross-fire

Biggin, reproachfully.

The sheriff's reply was an order, but
not for retreat.
