HILO sEEDLEss APPLES.
J. Z. Gamalielson brought into Hilo
this week part OF branch of an apple
tree, on which were several large ap-
pies, besiQes more OF the fruit that had
been picked from the same tree. By
measurement the largest one was exact
" eleven inches IN circumference, the
smaller ones not being below eight
inches.
The apples were grown at Kaumana,
not five miles from Hilo, at an altitude
OF one thousand feet. The fruit was
not quite ripe, but when cut was found
% be almost pure white, hard, crisp and
juicy. A feature of the variety is that
it is entirely seedless.
There had been no attempt made to
cultivate the tree, which was found
qaite oy accident, smothered by other
growth, when clearing the land. It was
twenty feet high and so laden with
apples that the branches were forced
down TO the ground.
Mr.. GamaIielson has been on the place
for three years without knowing that
these apples were growing there, and
he believes that the tree must have
been planted at least eight years ago.
It appears to be OF the russet variety

TAFT coNFERs WITH PRESIDENT.
Ohio Campaign Is Supposed To Be
 Subject of Discussion.

Washington. December 21.--(Special.)- J. President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft had another long conference tonight in the White House and this Is to be fol- lowed by another meeting tomorrow night in which Secretary Root is to be present and A. I. Vorys, Secretary Taft s presidential manager. MT. Taft Is pre- serving silence as to his purposes. He is to leave here probably on Monday for Cincinnati and has accepted the invi- tation of the Merchants association of Boston to address that body on the night of December 30.
 The secretary's attention was called to- day to the desire of the Foraker people to have primaries in that state. MT. Taft was asked if he were taking any meas ures to enter the campaign that would be necessary if the primaries were held. He evaded the question:
 It is possible that the situation in New York is to be the subject of the Sun day night conference in the White House. MT. Root is supposed to have been talk ing stock of the Taft assets in that state and will have reports of opinion and where and how the delegation Is to be secured.
 MT. Taft had short conference today with the President on the developments in Goldfeld. The result was that the Presidents suggestions as to the removal of the troops have been put in the form of regular war department order.

STATEMENT OF GOVERNOR.
Reply Is Made To Criticism of His
 Request for Troops.

Reno, New, December H.-From his bed today, Governor Sparks who Is very sick. made the following statement in re- ply to criticism of his act in asking President Roosevelt to send troops to Goldfield:
 Throughout this whole controversy I have acted according to my best judg- ment. I believed from advices received from agents in Goldfeld that trouble was imminent in the mining camps. know that dynamite had been stolen from the mines that the miners were armed and prepared for trouble and were picketing mines and preventing men from work Ing which was damaging property. was also advised that the sheriff and other civil authorities were unable to cope with the situation. I made these facts known to the President and in view of the ab- sence of any militia, advised that troops be sent to prevent trouble. I thought no good could be had from calling a special session of the legislature It has de- veloped since the arrival of the troops there has been no violence and this is why asked for troops. I believed that so long as there were regular soldiers on the ground there would be no outbreak, but l feared, and had reason so to fear, that unless such action were taken inn- mediately there would be riot and blood she'd
 saWhile I was in Goldfie1d I investigated personally the conditions that prevailed. l found that the business men were afraid of violence and that the women were in terror Dozens of women have left the camp because they feared trou- ble. I found that there was organized a band of Thigh graders" and that the sheriff is absolutely unable to secure a conviction of any ore thieves. I learned that there are over a thousand rifles in the possession of miners and that the spirit of many of the men is such as to warrant me in believing that those rifles would be used upon small pre- text
 While General Funston was there I conferred with him very frequently. After he had made a thorough investigation, he told me that it was his opinion that the troops had arrived none too soon. I think he considered the situation grave

The Governor of Nevada Explains Ills Action In Requesting Troops and
 Says Roosevelt Commission
 Acted Much Too Hastily.

Goldfeld, Nev.. December 2i.-The mine operators of Godfeld are loath to leave the task of preserving law and order in the camp in the hands of Sheriff Ingalls,. They are using every endesvor to prevail upon President Roosevelt to order q por- ton of the troops to remain in G0ldfieid indefinitely. Teegrams have been sent at various times today, not only from the mine owners, but from officials of various civic bodies and private individuals. all urging upon the President the necessity of the presence of the troops Meantime It would appear that conditions today are much better for peaceful solution of the difficulty between the miners and oper- ators than ever before. C. B. Mahoney, acting president of the Western Fedora ton of Miners. arrived tonight and is in consultation with the local miners union. Attorney o. N. Hilton will leave in the morning to assist in the Pettibone de- fense.
 MT. Mahoney will make proposition to the mine owners on Monday but the op- erators assert that it will receive the same treatment as the overtures of Attorney ftlltOH, Il pOsitlNe fetu6al tO compromise.
 Officials of the Mine Owners associa- ton said today:
 "These men here can go to work. but not until they renounce the Western Fed eration.''
 In the event that the local miners do renounce the Western Federation or get their positions back through some other proceeding, the operators say they will pay the strike breakers now here half months pay and send them back where they came from
 Sheriff Ingalls, is working on the details of his plan to handle the police situation in Goldfeld and will submit them on Mon- day
 The operators say they will consider it, but In the meanwhile they are going ahead with plans for their own protec- tion in case of trouble.
 No more strikebreakers came today and the operators say no more are coming soon. There is a feeling of apprehension over the order for the recall of the troops which it Is impossible to conceal

Georgetown, Ky, December a.-Only a small crowd was present in the court room when the trial of Caleb Powers was resumed today. Just before court opened Judge Morris announced to news paper men that he would continue the trial through the holidays, not even ad- journing for Christmas.

 Gar Of Pianos
COMPETITION IS OUTSTRlPPED
Sales Included Magnificent Weber Concert Grand Piano for Concerts and RecitaIs and Whole Car load of HaIlet c Davis
 Pianos.

D The Seals Piano and Organ company of this city has just completed one of the largest and most important piano deals ever made in Alabama, completely out distancing all competition and adding an other feather to it's cap. The company has sold and delivered to Judson college at Marion a $l150 Weber concert grand piano for use in the auditorium of the college as well as a whole carload of Hallett & Davis pianos for teaching pur poses. This is not all yet. pr. Paul ". Bomar distinguished member of the faculty of Judson, bought handsome Weber upright piano for his home and Dr. Haley, a prominent citizen and one of the college directors, purchased a fine Kimball piano also.
 The fight was q sharp one, and com petition was keen, some of the other lead ing piano companies being actively In the race. The president and faculty of Jud- son were fixed in their purpose to buy only the very best pianos obtainabe, and after d thorough and exhaustive inyesti- sation awarded the contract to the "old reliable" Seals Piano and Organ com pany.
 An interesting coincidence connects it. self with this deal. The Seals company Is the oldest piano concern in the state. having been established in Birmingham in 1882, and has been actively engaged in business ever since, each year adding not only to the growth of It's business but also to it's popularity and reputation for absolute integrity. The Judson Is. per- haps, the second oldest womens college fin the south and hundreds of women scattered throughout the country are proud to own it as. their alma mater.
 Another interesting bit of history is the fact that the Seals house supplied

the college with pianos when it was re- built after the disastrous fire about 20 years ago. At that time carload of Fischer pianos was purchased and many of them are in active use today, al though they were sold as being worn out several years since. The possessors of these pianos today consider, rightly too, that they still possess worthy instru- ments.
 In the selection of grand piano for concert use the authorities of Judson placed merit first, regardless of price and In buying the Weber concert grand they consider, of course, that they have se- cured the best that money would buy.
 The carload of Hallett X Davis pianos was chosen on the same grounds. h. struments used in teaching are subjected to the hardest kind of usage and they were bought because of absolute confi- dence in their quality and durability.
 The deal was made by MT. D. A. May of the Seals Piano and Organ company and MT. ]. B. Chamberlain, vice presi- dent of the company, two of the best piano men in the south. They sincerely merit the many congratulations they are receiving over their great victory.

Rochester, December 21.-Thomas Worth. brother of Helen Worth, the young woman thought to be buried In Mount Hope cemetery here by mistake for Miss Jessie Burke, daughter of Mrs Mary Burke, came here today to have the body exhumed.

Mrs. Burke is now positive that her daughter, Jes- sic Burke, is alive in New Orleans.
 When the body was identified in New York an actor claimed it was not Jessie Burks's body, but that of a for mer member of a Buster Brown com pany. He was certain it was Helen Worth, known as Mignon Worth and Ella May Burke. When Mrs. Mary Burke identified the remains by three birthmarks on the girls face, the actor no longer insisted that the body was that of Helen Worth.
