since repeated by almost every paper
In the land, that Walter Wellman Is
going 10 make an attempt 10 sail

But there are many considerations
which induce the fair-minded to be.

made . daring attempt TO reach the
magnetic mecca OF 70 many Arctic
adventures. and failed through no

(OPTIC EXPERIENCES
THREE DAYS OF
RARE BAD WEATHER

The Oriental & Occidental s. s. Cop
tic, Commander Finch, arrived this
morning from San Francisco, being
nearly seven days on the voyage. The
delay was caused by bad weather. She
brought five days later mail and has
aboard large number of through pas
sengers for the Orient. The Coptic
sails this afternoon at o'clock. There
are no stop-overs for Honolulu. Five
passengers, tourists, will take the yes.
sci from here.
Three days of the trip the Coptlc en-.
countered some of the worst weather
in its history. Dead head winds were
experienced with heavy sea of the
same kind. Enormous waves were en-.
countered and plowed through and
most of the time during the three days
the ships forecastle was under water
time and again.
Waves could be seen approaching in
the distance some OF them. they were
of such height. There was much sea
sickness among the passengers. but
fortunately the damage as n result OF
the unausual weather was only nom.
inal. At times the water broke over
almost the entire length of the boat.
Alexander Morphy is the new purser
on the Coptlc. He is making his first
trip. For years he has been freight
clerk on other ships of the same COM

TO hispresent position. Nine years ago
Mr.. Morphy was on the Coptic, since
then serving on the Gaelic and several
other vessels.

Opportunity
For
Agriculture

Editor Evening Bulletin: - During
the recess Of Congress little could be
dome for pending Hawaiian measures,
owing TO the absence Of members from
the capital.
| have. however had an important
consultation with Secretary Wilson OF
the Department OF Agriculture, which
/ hope may lead 10 some definite re.
suits for Hawaii.
First of all, the Secretary promised
me that he would take under favorable
consideration the question OF making
a soil survey OF at least some parts OF
the islands.
And this, II done. will be followed
up by sending a tobacco expert TO go
thoroughly into the practical ways
and means OF developing tobacco cult
walton In Hawaii.
Secretary Wilson had been Under
the impression that the appropriation
for soil surveys was available only for
mainland work; bat upon our pressing
the question. he made a rec xamina'
I ton of the act, which led him TO think
strongly that It would also authorize
work in Hawaii. And It was upon
this that he promised 10 give the mat
ter favorable consideration.
II the commercial bodies OF Honolulu
and Hilo and also the Farmers Insti
tute. were to address formal requests
to Secretary Wilson that soil survey
work In Hawaii be commenced at
soon as possible. II would doubtless
help In securing the desired result
from the Secretary OF Agriculture.
i The Secretary also promised me his
friendly offices In trying to get an an
nual appropriation OF $4,000 for al
agricultural school in Hawaii, the
same as is already given to the othel
States and Territories. This would, d
secured, necessitate the provision o
: land and buildings for such schoo
by the Territorial Legislature. Blu
there are few ways in which loca
: funds could be better spent; and II m!
apportionate bill Is passed, the build
ings could also be provided by FEEDER
: al funds.

THE SUPERIOR COURT
Joseph Pierce Brought Before Judge
 Shumway To-day.

Joseph Pierce was brought before Judge Shumway in the superior court at noon to-day to explain how he got into trouble Saturday night at Patrick Lawlors building AT East Main street When the matter was brought to the attention of the court he seemed to be very angry. It was only last week or so that Pierce was before him charged with another young man with break ing and entering shoe store on North Main street. They were found under the counter by policeman. Through the intercession of Attorney Cassidy and friends Judge Shumway put both On probation for one year.
 Yesterday morning he was charged with intoxication and breach of the peace. The officer said the young man was fighting crazy drunk" Pierce denied this. However, Judge Burpee decided he was and imposed fine of S1O and costs and ordered the proba- tion officer to take him before the su- perior court today. The evidence of yesterday morning was told Judge Shumway after which he asked some questions and ordered Fierce into GUS tody of the county sheriff. During re- cess the judge had a talk with him and again remanded him to the GUS tody of the sheriff and Pierce spent the afternoon in the quiet solitude of cell in the basement of the building.
