MACHINES
LOAD CANE

One Of the many interesting things
10 be seen when visiting Eva Planta-
tion is the loading of sugar cane by
machinery. As with all labor saving
inventions, the cane-loader has only
reached it's present state of practical
usefulness after many years of costly
experimenting in different parts of the
world. The need for such a machine
has not, hitherto, been so urgent, but,
since the scarcity of labor began to be
felt some years ago, plantation mana
gers have been on the lookout for any
devices which would save or cheaper
field work. In fact the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association some years
ago offered a bonus of $500 for sue
cessful cane.loader and the question of
mechanical cane-loading has been fire.
quently discussed at their meetings.
1t is evident to anyone watching the
cane-loaders at work at Eva Planta-
tion that they not only save labor, but
they do not need such expensive labor
as the old system. Loading cane by
hand requires particularly strong and
expert Japanese, who are of course
highly paid, while these machine cane
leaders can be run by women. The
japanese seem to prefer to work on the
machine as they find that, with it, their
work is much lighter and their con-
tracts more remunerative.
Several sugar men from other parts
of the world have taken a great inter-
est in the Eva machines and, quite re-
Gently, two planters from the Argentine
Republic, after watching them at work,
secured photographs of the loader with
a view to their introduction in South
America.
There are two quite distinct types of
machines in operation at Ewa-the
Kennedy" and the "Wilson-Web.
ster." The "Kennedy" loader is
much smaller and simpler-looking than
the Wilson Webster" but necessi-
tates the cane being hauled close to 1T
by mule-drawn sleds from which it
lifts the cane and drops it into the cars.
About 20 mules are required to keep 1t
busy, and it is stated that it loads
about 40 ears a day. 1t has one hoist
ing drum, which is run by a to
horsepower gasoline engine.
The "Wilson.Webster' is much
larger machine. 1t runs on the same
track as the cane ears and loads the
cars as they pass through it. 1t has six
drums, four of which are used for haul
ing the cane in by means of wire cables
which do away with the necessity for
mules, while the other two operate
wires through two long arms or booms
which hoist and swing the cane into
the cars. Before the cane is hauled in
it is bundled into patent sings, which
hold about 500 pounds each. The loader
is operated by gasoline engine of from
Is to 90 horsepower and it also loads
from 40 to so cars per day.
One can not watch these machines at
work without concluding that cane
loading by hand will soon be thing of
the past on up-to-date plantations and
it looks as if the Hawaiian planters
were again to be the pioneers in the
adoption of this latest invention for
cheapening sugar production.
Both types of machines are being ex-
perimented with at Eva and Puunene
aud the reports on their comparative
merits and also on how they compare
with hand labor will be awaited with
much interest by planters.

TRIAL OF PACKERS BEGINS
CASE OF ALLEGED CONSPIRACY
 ON IN EARNEST.

Former General Counsel for Armour &
 Co. the Only Witness Examined Yes-
 terday-Statement by Louis E Krant-
 hOG--Garfeld Promised Immunity
 Provided He Could Have Access to
 Books,
 Chicago Jan. 29.-The trial of the packers indicted for alleged conspira- cy in restraint of trade, was commence ed to-day before Judge Humpnrey in the federal court. Louis c. Krauthoff, formerly general counsel for Armour & Co.,, was the only witness examined to- day. He described in detail his inter- view with Commissioner of Corpora tions Garfield, which prepared the way for the commissioners investigation of the packing industry and during which, the packers allege, ne promised immu- nity to them provided they would allow him to have access to their books. He declared that Commissioner Garfield told him that the information would not be used in any criminal prosecution, and that his department had no con- nection whatever with the department of justice Acting on these statements from the commissioner he declared that he advised his clients, as well as Nelson Morris & Co, and Swift & Co., to &C., cede to the demands of the oommis- sioner and give him such information as he desired.
 In the afternoon the cross exanllna- tion of MT. Krautlloff by District At torney Harrison began. This was not completed when the court adjourned to- night.
 The first effort of District Attorney Morrison in the cross-examination of the witness was to establish the fact t1at Attorney Krauthoff at the time he n ct MT. Garfield was representative of the National Packing company, as well as representative of Armour & Go. Attorney Krauthoff admitted that he had written the charter of the Ma tional Packing company, but said that he had not been it's attorney for oyer year.
 Attorney Morrison then asked the witness: "As a lawyer you knew if Mir. Garfield issued subpoena upon wit ness and the witness refused to answer to 1t he was not bound to attend and he would not be compelled to be pres l ent, didn't your"
 q knew that the whole power of the United States was vested in him to compel and his demand was backed I'D by the whole government
 At this point long wrangle followed District Attorney Morrison declaring that tine witness was arguing in his an- swers. The court, however, ruled thai the witness could explain his answers if he wished and that he could not be linn. tied to the verbiage of a question.

BOYCOTT PROBLEM
Principal Subject Under Discussion in
 Senate YesterdaY.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The Chinese boycott and the administration of the forest reserves were the subjects under discussion in the senate to-day. The Chinese question came up in connec- tion with resolution by MT. Tillman directing an investigation by the conn mittee on immigration MT. Tillman modified the resolution, especially omit ting the major portion of the preamble, and after considerable discussion the resolution was referred to the commit tee on contingent expenses.
 Mir. Hepburn raised the question re- garding the reservation. He sharply criticised the methods of the forestry bureau and charged it with maintaining 8 press combination for the purpose of attacking him. He declined, however, to hold the president responsible for this course. He said that the course was calculated to retard the develop ment of the west.
 MT. Dubois took contrary view, de- lending the policy pursued and contend- ing that it was in the interest of the arid region.

College Becoming One of International
 Character--Number of Students from
 Foreign Countries Larger Than Was
 Ever Dreamed Of--No Ground for
 Fears Regarding the Old Democracy.
 Cleveland, Jan. 29.-President Arthur T. Hadley, of Yale university, was the guest of honor tonight at the annual dinner of the Yale Alumni association of Cleveland. He responded to the toast For God, for Country and for Yale" Among other things President Hadley said:
 We may congratulate ourselves on the increase in numbers of two hundred above any previous year. Numbers may not be a test of merit, but 8 uni versity that does not increase its num- bers finds itself saddled with old ar engagements and finds it hard to get out of the rut. Yale is becoming a college of international character. The num- Der of students from foreign countries has become larger than we ever dream ed of A year ago I sat down to din- ner of the Yale British club, at which forty subjects of King Edward, from all of the six continents of the world, were present. There is no foundation for the fears so frequently expressed about the deterioration of the Yale character with modern luxury; no ground for fears regarding the old de- mocracy,
 If any one is afraid that Yale will become a rich mans college we can point ot... that there are to-day larger number of students supporting them selves than there ever was before. If any one fears that it will become the home of a class, we can show that with the variety of the courses of study we afford room and protection for more types than we ever did before. If any one fears that it will become a place of idleness, let him go and try an ex- animation or two. l feel sure that if I had to enter college to-day it would be by some outside, irregular influence, rather than by my own individual mer- it. The old spirit of democracy is not going to be lost or changed. In the Yale of old days there was a narrow circle of interest. There was one so- ciety around which everything center ed. To-day finds the college life vast ly broadened, with multiplied interests and lines of work. The range of intel lectual interests of the student body has increased and is increasing. Slow ly but surely we are developing the atmosphere of culture which consti- tutes the true attributes of univer- sity.'

INJUNCTION AGAINST UNION
Served Against the Striking New York
 Printers.

New York Jan. 29.-An injunction signed by Justice Gildersleeve of the supreme court, was served on President Mccormick of Typographical union Mo- 6 tonight by the Butterick Publishing company, restraining them from what was alleged as interference in the print ing department of the company in that the union had tried to persuade the men engaged there not to continue at work.
 The injunction restraints the members of the union from making any re- quests, giving any advice or resorting to any species of persuasion, threats, intimidation, force, or fraud, which operates to overcome the exercise of the free will of any person connected with the plaintiff or it's customers as em- ployes or otherwise; from picketing the place of business of this plaintiff or any of the places of business of this plain tiff or any of the customers of this plaintiff doing business in said city or elsewhere.
 In one of the documents accompany ing the injunction is an allegation that the union had injured the business of the Butterick concern 10 the extent of about $2,5O0 a week. President McCor- mick said that the union has been care full not to do anything in it's overtures to the Butterick employees that would tend to hamper the work of their en- ployes.

 Ambassador Takes Last Look at His
 Departed Friend.
 Washington, Jan 29.-Home to the southland, which he loved so well, they brought the body of Major General Joseph Wheeler, U. s. A., retired, and laid it to rest in Arlington this after noon on shaded slope overlooking the Potomac, near the groves of men who, like himself, were veterans of two wars. Thousands uncovered their heads in si- lent tribute as the impressive caravan of mourners made it's way slowly out Pennsylvania avenue this afternoon be- meath the wealth of sunshine that gave the day taste of spring time in the dead of winter. Not even his native state of Alabama could have contribut- ed a balmier day on which to bury the tteillOll dAolliA6 QCdQ llldlL WCtS this, the birthday of the president who called him from civil life to the de- fence of the nation in the war with Spain. All along the line of march the white carnation marked the memory of the late William Mckinley, and on the casket wrapped in the folds of the American f"~ there bloomed a cluster of these pure flowers. They were plac- ed on the altar in St. John's Episcopal church at the beginning of the burial service and as the choir softly chanted the closing hymn Peace, Perfect Peace" a white robed priest took the flowers from the altar and placed them reverently at the head of the casket amid the folks of the red white and blue. Beside them were the beautiful flowers sent by the president and Mrs Roosevelt. It was an appropriate trlb- ute which the nation paid. From 10 o'clock this morning until this after noon while the body lay In state in the historic little church on Lafayette square thousands of his friends passed up the aisle to the outer chancel and bowed in silence as they looked for the last time on the warriors face. His comrades in the great war and the war with Spain, his friends while in con- gress and the sons of the ceterans of the two wars, the daughters of the con- federacy were all represented in this silent steady stream of people that passed through St. Johns to-day. Short ly before noon Sir Henry Mortimer Du- rand, the British ambassador who was a warm friend of General Wheeler, ar rived at St. Johns church and taking his place in line passed rever,ntly to the head of the casket ana looked for the last time into the face of the great cavalry leader.
