BABY WEIGHED
FORTY POUNDS
AN IOWA YOUNGsTER WHO BE-
GINS LIFE BY BEING A TRUST
BUSTER.

DIES MONIES, October 29-When AS
sistant Attorney General Lyon of Iowa
discovered that forty-pound baby boy
been born to his wife the other day he
Immediately ordered an investigation
of the Des Moines ice trust
When the boy was born the proud
father-it was his first born-imme-
diately called for a pair of scales to
weigh the youngster. His demand
could not be supplied from the house
furnishings, but it so happened that
the ice man came along and the nurse
carefully bundled up the baby and
carried him out to the ice man. The
beam on the scales shot up when the
baby bundle was attached to it.
81 knew he was a husky young 'un,"
said the proud father, who also did not
know much about babies, and hurried
to his office to tell the glad news and
pass around the cigars. How much
does he weigh?' was the first question
put to the joyous father.
FORTY POUNDS" the assistant
told Attorney-General Byers.
Why, you must be crazy, said At
torney-General Byers. Then Lyon
told the Attorney-Gen just how he
knew the baby weighed forty pounds.
81 guess all the trouble is that the
ice man has been beating you out OF
thirty pounds of ice every day this
summer" was Byers comment
And now petition is about to be
filed to dissolve the ice trust.

Nearly all of the ships of the Allan

for the overhauling and new WORK
which will be necessary for the cruise
to the Pacific coast The time of fit
ting out these vessels has Deen gener-
ally extended, to the exclusion of all
other work, to December 1.
The vacancy existing in the COM
mand of the fourth division of the At
lantic fleet may be filled Oy the assign
ment of Rear Admiral Charles S. Sper-
ry, U. s. Navy, the president Of the
Naval War College and a member o.
the United States commission at The
Hague conference. The fact that Rear
Admiral Sperry will retire in Septem-
Der of 1909 would be the only reason
tnat he is not assigned.
Admiral Dewey and Rear Admiral
Brownson, chief of the bureau of navi-
cation, have been invited by San Fran
cisco to be there on the occasion OF
the welcome to the Atlantic feet when
it arrives under command of Rear Ad-
miral Evans. Honolulu may also ex-
tend an invitation.

NEXT MONDAY THE ALL-HAWAIl
TEAM BEGINS PRACTICE EVERY
NIGHT

The All-Hawaii baseball team will
start next Monday night to practice
nightly instead of three times a week
as before. The time is growing very
short between now and the opening
game with the Coast team, and the
players are all anx Gus to be in the
very best form when their rivals ar
rive The first game will be a very
trying one for the Coast team, as they
will still have their sea legs on and it
will take some time tor them to get
used to the change. The All-Hawail
team is improving very much in their
playing, although some of the fans are
under the impression that the Coast
team will have little trouble in defeat
ing the local team. 1t is earnestly
hoped by every one in town that the
home team will win, and the boys are
going to do all in Their power to take
the boys from Frisco into camp. Some
time during the stay of the Coast team
| series of games will be held as were
held before at the league grounds, and
the local boys will have an opportunity
to show their prowess against the
strong aggregation from the best
teams on the ma inland.
The best runners are away at pres
ent with the st. Louis team, but Hamp-
ton and Jimmy Williams will try their
best to take at least one of the
events. The team will be coached
every day by Stere, and by the
time the cry Play Ball" is sound
ed, the representatives Of Hawaii will
be in the best possible condition.

column double loaded dispatch under
glaring black headlines, which reads:

The dispatch is dated at Washington
and tells of 20 battleships having
reached the Straits of Magellan on
their way to the Pacific.
Further news of the progress of the
fleet is awaited with keen interest by
the Navy Department and correspond
ents in Washington. Meanwhile navy
officers are at loss to account for
the presence in the navy yards along
the Atlantic Coast of vessels which are
being repaired under the supposition
that they are to parade with the great
armada around to the Pacific coast.

Francisco Chronicle: THE persistent
critics of the Administration seem to
have forgotten that the coast-defense
plans do not include naval support for
the Notifications. The latter leave
the Navy free to go out in search of the
enemy" Another San Francisco pa
per quotes approvingly The Japan Ad-
vertiser, of Yokohama, which prints
the following justification of the Pacific
cruise:

means of defense evenly distributed

Of tremendous Importance, not alone in
present population and wealth, but also
in potentiality of unprecedented de-
velopment, a growth of solid perma-
nence, at the rate of a mushroom, is
almost bare. The detached territories
of Alaska and Hawaii would be at the
mercy of a feel of merchantmen armed
with field pieces. The Philippines,
with all their incipient wealth, are
more iso ated and hardly better pro-
tected, In the Atlantic lies idle a great
fleet soon to become the second in the
world. Could any sane mind ratify
the keeping of it off the protected
shores Of a compact, settled part of
the country while the shores washed
by the waves of the future lay bare
as CrusOes islands?"
To the assertion of an Eastern paper
that when the fleet reaches the Pacific
there will be war. the Honolulu Star
retorts: IF Japan wants to fight, the
time to do it is certainly before Anne
RIGA brings a great fleet to within strik-
ing distance. To wait until the battle
ships arrive would be like having wait
ed, at the time of the crisis with Rus
STA, until that country had finished
sending warships and troops to the
Far East,-which is exactly what jap
an declined to do. Hence it would
seem to be a safe presumption that il
Japan wants any fighting she will be-
gin it before we have a battleship feet
on this side" Turning to the Philip
pines, we find The Daily Bulletin of
Manila arguing that the presence of
the fleet in the Pacific will insure peace
and stimulate commerce. We read:
The commercial advancement of the
Archipelago will be deferred Just as
long as the United States Government
remains indifferent to it's ample pro-
lection.
The combined effort of aggressive
argument and absolute proof of the
commercial advantages which the Phil
ippine islands offer investors is lost
when when the inadequate protection
afforded is so apparent. There is no
argument as to the effect on the Philip
pine Islands Of a resort to violence by
the United States and Japan.
The situation of the United States
in the Far East carries with it an obi
cation to exert every honorable effort
in the maintenance of peace. The alb
sence OF strong naval force at this
strategic point places the peace of the

Pacific Coast papers are apparently

When the battle-ship cruise was
first mooted the New York papers saw
in it the deep, dark politics of Machla-

to gain control of the California dele

year. When it was pointed out that

PLANNING FORTS
FOR PHILIPPINES
WAR AND NAVY DEPARTMENTS
TO CONSIDER THE ISLAND De
FENSES.

NEW YORK October ga special
to the Sun from Washington says:
The joint Army and Navy Board will
shortly take up the matter of provid-
ing suitable defenses for the Philip
pines. Whether Subig bay or Manila
bay will be the point where the prin-
cipal defense will be is a matter which
both the War and Navy Departments
believe should be definitely settled be-
fore the money is appropriated.
Following the visit of Secretary Taft
to Subig bay for the inspection of
the defense works there, acting Sec
rotary of War Oliver has called upon
the chiefs of his several departments
for information concerning the sub
ject of the Philippines Notifications,
and the whole matter will be submit
ted to a joint board for its considera-
ton.
Army and Navy officials realize that
the entire situation with respect to
the Philippine defenses has changed
since Japan became a world power as
the result of the war with Russia, and
the United States, while at peace with
Japan and all the world, must take
Japan's position into consideration
and prepare accordingly. No longer
is much secret made over the fact
that the defences of the Philippines
must be made with regard to the posi-
bility of Japan being the country
which might attack them.

Tho bishop delivered a short address
and presented tho Pope with Potcr's

warmly, expressing tho satisfaction which
he felt at the loyalty and faith of the
Americans In tho present troubous
times.
In the course OF his remarks, the
Bishop seid:

which tho church is unJustly suffering
In France, which boasts OF being tho
beloved eldest daughter Of the church,
In America there are over 100000
hearts which sympathize with tho Holy
Father. All tho Holy Soc approves we
approve; all 1t condemns we condemn.
1t is false to say that tho church and
state separation law puts the French
church in the same condition as tho
American church. We enjoy perfect lib
crty OF possession. using our property
according to church law. our rights be-
Ing protected by tho civil laws"
