Texas Overrur With Boil Wcevil.

A government agent, who was
recently sent to the state of
Texas, to investigate the boil
weevil situation, gave out a very
unfavorable report. He said:
"The mild winter and the wet
spring have been exceptionally
favorable for the weevil, and they
have increased amazingly. From
my observations and the obser.
vation Of my assistants, | cal
culate that there are thirty times
more weevils in Texas at this
time than there were at this time
last year. The propagation OF
the weevil was materially as
sisted by the greatest quantity OF
OF "volunteer" cotton in Texas
this spring, the winter being 80
mild that much cotton, even as
far up aa north Texas, was not
killed. The weevil now extends
from San Antonio to the river in
Louisiana, and for q distance OF
70 miles up into Indian Terri

CAPTAIN CATION
AN EXPERT WITNESS
Places Valuation OF
ChiuSa Maru At
$4,000

TIE value Of the Cbiusa Maru Is
sI2G. 900, according 10 the estimate Of
Captain Robert Cation. who testified
before Judge Dole this morning as an
expert on valuiDg steam vessels.
The attorneys Tor the steamship
fought hard To prevent his qualifying
as an expert. They were successful In
the case Of Captain Fuller. Fuller con
WINGED the court that he was IN expert
10 far as sailing gear goes, but he fell
down when II came Ia the machinery.
Captain Lane Of the Pioneer was the
first witness called this morning. His
testimony was designed to show the
state OF the weather and of the sea at
the time the Chiusa Maru went
aground. lie testified that during the
time the Pioneer was alongside the CHI
isa. she parted her lines several times,
After CAPTAIN Fuller had failed to
qualify as an expert, Captain Cation
took the stand He testified that he
had at one time been employed In the
shipbuildinG yards on the Clyde and
that for forty years he had been deal
ING with ships and the sea. For the
past ten years he has been in the ship
repairing business in Honolulu.
Captain Cation stated that he made
u thorough examination of the Chiusa
Maru and believed himself capable OF
giving correct valuation Of the vcs-
sell
Judge Stanley asked how he was
qualified. The captain replied that he
had read engineering papers and had
for forty years been connected with
work which gave him thorough cxpcr-
fence In such matters.
Stanley objected strcnuously to this
testimony being admitted and claimed
that the captain had not proved him
self qualified 10 speak as an eXptrl..
Judge Dole, however, OyorrIIlcd Stan
lcy's objections and admitted Captain
Cation Ia testify rs an expert, Stanley
noting an exception.
Captain Cation was Btill on the
stand when court was adjourned for
the noon recess. The case was resumed
al o'clock this afternoon.
