Fred Terrill is stated for the job Of

Ment of this appointment has been or in

CUBAN PLANTERS
SHORT OF LABOR
HAVE ASKED GOVERNOR MACON
TO BRING PORTO RICANS TO
HARVEST CROP.

HAVANA, Cuba, December 15.-An
appeal has been made by the Planters
League to Governor Magoon to bring
Porto Rican labor to the islands for
the present harvest. The gathering of
the cane has now already begun and
1t is recognized as impossible to get
Spanish labor here in time to do any
good. Porto Rico is, however, but a
few miles away and labor could be
brought from that island very quickly.
Governor Magoon told the correspond
ent of the Gazette that he was very
willing to take the steps necessary to
get Porto Rican labor here if such a
move was approved by. the chief of
immigration, DR., Frank Menocal. The
latter, when interviewed by the cores
pondent, said that it would be a very

WHAT A MEXICAN SUGAR MAN
SAYS OF HIS OBSERVATIONS OF
OUR METHODS.

The following complimentary com
ment upon the methods Of the Hawaii
an sugar planters, appears in the No
vember number Of the American Sugar
Industry and Beet Sugar Gazette:
Hawaiian sugar-mallers are far
ahead of those in the United States,
Mexico, or any Of the countries Of Am
erica says George Z. Davis, manager
of the OaXaquena plantation i'm Vera
Cruz, Mexico Mr.. Davis has recently
returned from a trip TO the Hawaiian
Islands for the purpose of studying the
manufacture Of sugar there. He left
again for Los Angeles to consult with
the general manager of the Oaxaquena
company, who leaves soon for Honolulu
|. to purchase machinery for the Vera
Cruz plantation In Hawaii nothing is
left Undone to insure good crops, care
full manufacture of the sugar, and the
manner in which the sugar companies
are managed there is a revelation"
says Mr.. Davis.
mo obstacle is too great for sugar
men there. They use the most modern
up-to-date machinery, give careful at
tention to the cultivation of cane, and
have reduced the manufacture of sugar
to system that have never seen
equaled The manner i'm which they
overcome obstacles, secure machinery,
raise money and conduct the business
is far ahead of anything in other coun-
tries"
Mr.. Davis went to Honolulu in order
: To-, ha
islands. He visited numerous planta-
tions and mills, and expects to utilize
the information he gained in conduct
ing the OaXaquena plantation. His
company will purchase a quantity of
machinery in Honolulu and bring it to
Mexico.

sugar this year" says Mr.. Davis. eve
have coo acres of cane in the field now
and will make it up into alcohol. Then,
by next year, we expect to have 1,50O
acres of cane, and by that time will be
ready to manufacture sugar. At pres
emit our attention is divided between
clearing the land and finishing the
buildings. railroads and other neces-
We expect to have our mill increased
to 1000 tons capacity daily by next
year, and that is why we are buying
this machinery in Honolulu At pres
ent we have over one million feet OF
lumber in buildings and have half
million feet more on the way for the
same purpose We employ about 1000
men on the plantation. Japanese and
native laborers compose the majority
of these and at present we have $50 la
borers from Japan en- route to Mexico"
The opening Of the Tehuantepec rail-
road will be of great assistance to
plantation owners, says Mr.. Davis, ana
they will be able to reach the markets
quickly and cheaper than at present.

Chaoapa from Coatzacoalcos. River
steamers communicate with the port.
The Oaxaquena plantation in Vera
Cruz consists of $4,000 acres and a 1900
acre plantation in Tabasco is owned by
the same company.

cent. of the trust certificates of the capt.
tai stock.
About this time Segal was in need of
money to complete the Majestic Hotel,
and notified Gustav q. Kissel, Of New
York, who held a mortgage of 1925, 600
on the property of the hotel company,
that Ire would pay this off in order to
raise a larger sum. Instead of the $500,
900 which Segal wanted Kissel persuaded
him to borrow S1,250,00O, but in addi-
ton to a mortgage on the Majestic pro-
perty demanded from SegaI his holdings
in the trust certificates and bonds of
the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com
pany. representing n majority of the lat
ter company's stock.
Kissel, it is said, expressly declared
that he was not dealing for the trust,
but as representative of other corpora
tons, and for this reason required a
contract to protect the loan in case of
destructive competition by the trust.
Segal was also made to agree to the
election at once of a majority of the
seven directors of the Pennsylvania SUI
gar Refining Company, to be named by
Kissel. The agreement for the loan was
prepared by John e. Parsons, of New
York, and Kissel and three of his clerks,
who were elected directors, constituting
a majority of the board forthwith voted
to close the refinery. They have since
been in control of the Shackamaxon
street plant and kept it closed.
Parsons was counsel of tire trust, and
was then and still is a member of its
board of directors, although Segal was
told that Parsons was acting solely for
trust companies whom Kissel said he
represented.
The remaining innocent bOndholders or
stockholders knew none of these facts.
Long afterward Kissel, it is alleged, re-
vealed to Segal that he had been acting
as agent for "Havemeyer and the Sugar
Trust" meaning the American Sugar Re
fining Company and its president, Theo-
dOre A. Havemeyer.

Mr.. Richard Hanna, Of Galllnagh,
County Donegal. was q country gem
tleman, and head OF his family, jovial.
popular. open.handed. and beloved by
the peasantry. Though downright
good fellow he was not perfect his
fault being n congenital hastiness and
n tendency to punch the heads OF alI
and sundry who aroused his Ire.
A widower OF 60. he had n son OF 20
and II very lovely daughter OF 20,
named respectively Robert and Mar
garet. Rob was captain In the Royal
Irish Rifles; Mag was the prettiest
girl In the county and. moreover. was
Just as sweet as she looked.
At the time to which now refer
the fatal time-the captain was
spending his furlough ut the ancestral
hall. and the private rifle range In the
valley between the house and the
lake re-echoed to the ccaseless deton'
atoms of the rifles, with which the
captain and his friend DR.. Terry, OF
the Army Service Corps, competed
against each other.
II was Il happy home: father and
children were wrapped up In each

household when. one fine morning at
IL o'clock, the squire of GallinaSh.
without n moments notice, without a
groan. without a sigh, sank to the
earth stone dead.
He had never had days Illness,
and. though Gl. was apparently hale
and sound. After breakfast he had
walked outside, and having taken a
few turns in the gardens had seated
himself under spreading chestnut
tree to read his morning newspaper.
This seat in the shadow was his ia.
yorite resort in summer, and on this
particular morning he had just settled
himself to con the news. when he was
observed to- sink forward rs though
devoid of will or muscular control
The poor squire was removed to
the house, and great was the wailing
at Gallinagh. The lovely Mag was
crushed, but brave, and the captain
bore himself like a man, though in
unguarded moments his heart-break
was terrible to see. But DR.. Terry
was, from one aspect at least. the most
important of the trio, for, as medical
nan Of uncommon attachments, he nat
nrally took some interest in the case
from q scientific point Of view. From
the first moment doubt as to the
cause of death had existed in his
mind. The squire, in his opinion, was
not likely subject for apoplexy.
A short examination not only con-
yinced him that apoplexy counted for
nothing, but also revealed the aston
lshing fact that the squire had been
,lsot dead as he sat in his chair, and
that q most foul and cowardly murder
had been perpetrated.
No doubt could possibly exist. A
bullet had traversed the body, passing
directly through the heart and had
lodged In the hole of the great tree
behind the unfortunate squire's gar
den chair; a modern bullet of the
thickness of a lead pencil such as
leaves at the most red mark as big
as q barley-corn. owing to the almost
immediate closing Of the skin. But
DR.. Terry knew all about such wounds.
II seemed that the squire used to
boast that from his garden chair I'M
der the chestnut he could see for 40
miles without break or brick, save
and except one solitary cottage. which
: was built OF stone!/ And this, he said,
lust served to vary the desOlation
without destroying the beautiful
loneliness OF the scene. One Dennis
O'Gorman lived there, and though the
house was but half mile or so from
the farther edge OF the lake the dis
lance from GallInagh to the white
cottage was over four miles by land.
