FACTS ABOUT THE
FLORIDA PINEAPPLE
Maimi, Fla, July 10, 1907.

Maimi, Fla, July 10, 1907
Mr.. Jared G. Smith, Director. Hawaii
Agricultural Experiment Station,
Honolulu, Hawaii.
Dear Mr.. Smith: In response to your
letter OF April 25 asking for estimates
Of the acreage devoted to pineapples
in Florida and approximate gross crop
for 1906, 1 regret that I have been
unable to get the data desired. The
only. records that 1 have been able to
find are those of the yield and value for
1904-O5, but without any reference to
the acreage. You can probably esti-
mate the acreage on a fair basis by
estimating an average of about 200
crates TO the acre. This is low for
parts of the state, but high for other
parts, and I think will be q fair aver
age. The crop for 1904 was AS. $50
crates. valued at s5S4,54 while for 1905
it was about $40, 159 crates, with a value
of about SS23, PIG. The crop for 1906 was
larger and 1 think is esti-
mated at something like $4,000 to 700,-
900 crates. The prices, however, re-
NAMED very good IN spite OF tHe larger
crop. This year the crop is very small,
probably not over two-thirds of a nor
NAL crop, but the prices have been cor
good. fear I will be I'M
able to get the exact figures for 1906
until towards the close of this year, I
as they are not brought together and |
until about that time. Very
-ruly yours,
ERNST A. BESSEY, |
Pathologist in Charge, Subtropical

To CALL MEETING Of
ALEWA LOT OWNERS

A meeting Of the people who bought
lots at Alewa Heights at the auction
on Monday, will be held in the near
future. The object is to see that all
the owners of the land which was
bought at the auction recently, pay
their second instruments at once, in
order that the improvements which
are necessary on the roads may be
made at once.
Those owning the lots at the end of
WyIlie street are preparing to build
a path, with steps, constructed after
rustic pattern, which will enable
them to climb the side of the hill
easily. When this has been done, the
lots will be within fifteen minutes Of
Hotel and Fort streets. The car ride
will take exactly ten minutes and the
walk up the hill but five more.

little boy of the complaining witness
was he that he bit the little boy in
the cheek. The defendant produced
several witnesses to swear to the good
character of the dog, who only bit
when his ears were pulled or familiar
tiles were taken with his tail. Such
action, decided his honor, was just
ifable.

Where IS the
Economy?

Where is the economy in washing at
home?
Where do you save-in money, in
work or in results?
Did you ever figure up the cost of
the extra fire and water used in wash
ing; the soap, starch, blueing, etc, re-
quired; the value of the time to you
that it takes to do the work at home;
the hard, back-breaking labor that it
costs YOU, and the unsatisfactory re,
suits that you obtain?
Is there any economy in it when we
can save you all this and only charge
you 25c. per dozen for rough dry work +?

the TeIegraphers' Union of America,
has extended the strike of the tele-
graphers by ordering out the operat-
ors of the Western Union and Postal

the strike had been called and for the
present will not divulge the location
until the message reaches its destina-
ton Orders for the extension of the
strike it is declared, were mailed by
Small last night. 1t is believed by
many of the operators that either
Portland, Los Angeles or Seattle will
some declare that the men in Chicago,
regarded as the Key to the telegraph
situation of the entire country, have
been ordered out.
The pickets of the Commercial Tel
egraphers have been notified by Pres
ident Small to look for J. T. Powellson,
an operator who is said to be on his
way here from Los Angeles, to act as
strike breaker for the Western Union.
1t is claimed by members of the union
corps of the United States and is
wanted by the army authorities in
Utah
Superintendent A. H. May, of the
Western Union, and General Superin-
tendent l.. w. Storer. of the Postal, re-
peated their assertions of previous
days that their companies were
handling without delay all business
that is offered and emphatically deny
the charges made by the striking op-
orators that they are sending pack
ages of kilograms by mail and express.
superintendent May stated that
there were 10Y men at work in the
Western Union main office in Oakland.
Six branch offices were reopened in
this city yesterday by the Western
Union.

ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT
Earl Hill, II Years Old, Arrested for
MaItreating 12-Year-Old Girl.

Earl Hill, a 17-year-old boy who lives
at 1885 Lane street, was arrested this
morning by Chief of Police Eaton on a
charge of criminal assault. Mrs. Ed
Mervin, who lives just across the street
at 1884 Lane street. made the complaint
against young Hill, who assaulted her
12-year-old daughter, Myrtle.
The crime was committed early this
morning, when the little girl was sent
over to the Hill home en- an errand. The
boy called her into the house, locked
the door and assaulted her, after which
she ran home crying and told her
mother.
The Hill and Mervin families are well
acquainted, and visited each other fire.
quently. The father and mother of the
Hill boy were away from home, and
during their absence Mrs Mervin had
been helping the boy tc keep house.
1t was on an errand of this sort the lit
tie girl was sent when the boy assaulted
her.
The Hill boy drives a delivery wagon
for Roose Brothers grocery, and his
father, who is now away on a, vacation,
is clerk in the same store. Ed Mervin,
father of the little girl, works fn-the
Santa Fe shops.
Mrs. Mervin told Chief Eaton that
when the little girl told her of the
crime, she was tempted to take her
husbands gun and kill the criminal. IT
is probably a good thing for young Hill
that he was under arrest before Ed
Mervin. father of the child, was told.
A state warrant for Hill was secured
by Mrs Mervin about noon.

DEFEAT FOR zELAYA.
His Cherished Plan of Union Knocked
Out by New Combine.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras. July 27-
Via New Orleans. July 2.-within the
last few days a new combination has
appeared on the Central American
checker board of five republics where
President Zelaya has been maneuver-
ing for several months by means of
revolutionary plots to consolidate the
five countries under one government.
The new combination is reported to be
Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador.
Their understanding was made at
Teguicigalpa, Honduras capital, and
aims at defeat of consolidation
Special ministers from Guatemala
and Salvador recognized President
Davalla as president of Honduras, and
he agreed, as reported in Washington
dispatches, to act Independently of
the control of Nicaragua. Zelaya s
candidate for the Honduran presi-.
dency was Terencio Sierra and in re-
cognizing Devalla the Guatemalan
and Salvadorean diplomats strength
ened the hold of a president hostile
to Zelaya and thereby robbed the lat
ter of the fruits of his successful Hon
durean war, namely the the opportun-
ity to name who would obey him.
The first move of the new COM
bination was to force the evacuation
of Honduras by Nicaraguan troops
Thereby Puerto Barrios, Guatemala
has within the last week been relieved
of the menace of the Nicarag guam gem
eral, Estrada's army which for many
weeks camped in Honduras within
few hours of striking distance from
Guatemala Sine the evacuation the
defeated generals of former President
Manuel Eonillo have been returning
to their country and some of them
have been invited on missions to
Gucigalpa which are considered sig
1t is reported that ZeIaya did not
yield to the demand for evacuation
until his envoy. Gamez, who recently
conferred with President Diaz of Mex
leo. received the refusal of Diaz to act
with Nicaragua in an attack upon
Guatemala 1t is reported also that
Nicaragua has already spent between
S2.000.000 and $3,000,O00 in the at
tempt to place men of Zelaya's choice
in the presidential chairs of other re-
publics and that the people are dis
contented with the large expenditures
issued about. 100000 in
notes, a per centage of which
were to be redeemed in customs
d uties.
Blame for the failure of the recent
revolution in Salvad dor in which Nicar- !
aqua participated is laid partly to the
choice of DR.. Alfano as leader. 1t is !

Miss Margaret Haley Tells
Grievances in an Interview.
Objects to Situation Brought
About by N. C. DOugherty.

Chicago, July "A big fight over the
adoption of a new charter is scheduled
to take place in the convention of the
National Educational association at
Los Angeles next week and the leaders
of the disturbance will be Margaret
Haley and 80 members of the teachers
union of Chicago.
Miss Haley and her followers, who
will control the vote of the Illinois del
egation, departed on a special train
over the Burlington last night. On a
Santa Fe train which left earlier were
40 Chicago public school principals.
According to Miss Haley, the commit
tee appointed at the Asbury Park con-
vention was instructed merely to rein
corporate the organization. Instead
of following Instructions said she,
the committee got congress to pass a
bill giving the association a new char
ter which included set of bylaws.
This has proved extremely objection
able in many ways. 1t not only con-
tinues the life directors, but there are
more of them than there are state di-
rectors. The five trustees elected by
the directors have more power than the
present constitution allows. They are
the custodians of the $147 900 fund and
have sole initiative in expenditures. The
directors have none.
THE educational policy is controlled
by a national council which practically
is separate from the association. This
council manages to perpetuate itself. In
1894 Frank Fitzpatrick of Boston, agent
of the American Book company, was
president of the council
Miss Haley asserted that the principal
author of the situation was Newton c.
of Peoria, now serving a
term for embezZlement and
forgery. Dougherty for several years
was an officer and leader in the associ-
alton.
