MANUEL REFS
RESENTS CHARGES

Manuel Refs, the proprietor of $780,
hackstand and one of the veteran driv-
ers in Honolulu, states that an item in
an evening paper does great injustice
to the main body of hackmen here.
The item states that a hackman swim
died some tourists who had taken the
Tantalus drive. When the halfway
house WIS reached the hackman is al
legged to have stated that a permit was
needed from the government to pro-
coed further. Having none. the tour
lists told the hackman to return to the
city For the trip they We're charged
$500.
The information is alleged to have
been filed with the Promotion Commit
tee. Mr. Refs says he called on Sec
rotary Wood and that official denied
that he knew anything of the matter.
Every hack has a number" says
Mr.. Refs land if any parties are in
jured by hackmen in any way, they
can easily find out the hackman's name
by going to the police station where
the name of every hackman is on file,
with his number.

AMI MAILS WINTER SLEEP

In the strict definition of the word
which hibernate, becoming SO lost in
sleep as to be oblivious of what is going
on around them, says the Bangor News.
Our raccoons and skunks and bears
crawl away to hiding places and seem
to be torpid, though they awaken and
become active as soon as their apart
ments are invaded by human foes.
Twice we have seen bears uncover
ed from under fallen trees during very
cold weather in midwinter, and in both
cases the animals were awake and on
the defensive as soon as the choppers
could get at them. Raccoons do not
hibernate in the sense of becoming I'M
conscious They den up in hollow trees
and logs, but let some one come along
and strike forcibly above their seclud-
ed dens, and they are up and dressed
and ready to flee as quickly a family
is when the fire alarm is sounded at
the front door. During nearly every
winter thaw, bears, skunks and raccoons
come out and walk about on the snow
at times gong mics away from tnelr
winter quarters.
Our greedy little friend the chip
munk is not believed to sleep any more
hours in the winter than in the sum-
mer. 1t puts by a plentiful store of
food and performs light housekeeping
il it's hole far below the forest. So
far as any one can learn the chipmunh
dwells alone in it's underground den.
The old notion that the father and
mother chipmunk took their children
into winter quarters and gave them
lessons in stealing grain and gnawing
holes in corn bins is a fabrication.
We have talked with scores of men
who have been close observers of chip
hunks for years, and as yet we have
found none who ever saw two chip
munks dwelling in the same compart-
ment. Skunks however, are very So
cial in their winter habits. One winter
when a barn in Waldo County burn

skunks were taken from the ashes and

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR

Ingram.
The result was a fight, in which the
two rolled about in the grass and dust
and pummeled each other to their
hearts content. Finally, it is said that
Cartwright left hurriedly and the Of

According to an eyewitness who saw

cement parapet overlooking the ocean.
captain Ingram was on the mauka side
of the car track. His white suit was
muddy and looked the worse for wear.
The eyewitness heard Cartwright say:

same eplthet to the officer By the
time the two men We're closing in some
soldiers came along and Captain In
gram is said to have told them to
stand by. After the two men mixed
and went to the ground, the soldiers
went to the assistance of the captain
and while Cartwright was down on
the ground they struck him repeatedly
and also kicked him. At length In

the eyewitness, then said:

He also ordered the men to throw
Cartwright down if necessary to do
this. Seeing what was coming to him
Cartwright replied that he would lie
down rather than be knocked down.
He carried out this plan. At this juno

two blows from Captain Migrants fist

unless one is looking for them he can
never find them. The general impress
sion is that bats hibernate from Octo-
Der until April, as no one sees them
flying about during the cold months.
Years ago We found a seemingly tor
pid bat concealed among a wad of hay
in the mortice of a beam in hay barn.
The season was winter, for we renlem-
Der there was snow On the ground 1t
was cold weather, too, for we took off
a thick woollen mitten as cage for
holding the bat until we carried it to
the house and installed it as pet. The
reason why we never tanned and stu
died the habits of that particular bat
was because the pestiferous little crea-
ture bit us sharply in the thumb as
soon as we touched it's body, and before
we were over our great surprise at
this impertinent act the bat had fed
from sight. 1t may be that bats as

left nevis out of doors in water in

WILL BE MORE LENIENT.
Mexico's Attitude Regarding suspi-
cious Fishing Vessels.

cious Fishing Vessels.
The State Department has been informed
that the Mexican government has given in
cutters which it has employed to break up
fishing by American smacks in the terri
torial waters of Mexico to refrain from in
reference with vessels outside of the three
mile limit and to be as lenient as possible
in other respects. That action resulted
from the protest of the State Department
against the acton Of the commander of
Mexican gun boat in stopping and searching
an American vessel on the high seas The
Mexican government has not yet admitted
that Its officer was in error, taking the
ground that in the exercise of it's functions
under the revenue laws a cutter has a
right to stop and examine foreign vessels
parent intent to cross. The State Depart
ment holds that while that contention
would be admissible as applied to trading
vessels, a fishing smack is not subject to
those revenue laws. Therefore, there will
be some further exchanges between the two
governments before that point is settled.
Another matter at issue is the assumption
by the Mexican government that the fact
that fishing smack in the neighborhood
of the boundary line has her nets and fish
ing gear on deck Is proof that she is about
to violate the law by fishing within the ter
ritorial waters. Testimony presented to the
State Department by the gulf fishermen is
shippers to get their nets out of the hold
and begin to overhaul their fishing gear
soon after they leave the home port. II the
weather is fair. It is understood that II
the Mexican government is satisfied as TO
the accuracy Of That statement it will
