oRiFTED ALONG IN OLD RuTs.
Hawaiian Farmers Have Let Their
Plantations Run Down.

WashingtOn.-lt is the opinion of ex.
perts OF the department of agriculture
that that the people OF Hawaii have
never fully realized the agricultural
possibilities of their islands. Instead
of going in for diversified crops, and
instead of scientifically studying and
improving the old-time staples, Hawai-.
ian farmers have dTifted along In old
ruts until they have been literally
forced to abandon certain lines of pro
duction because of their inability 10
keep pace with the rest of the world
The production of coffee, once a
leading industry of Hawaii is rapidly
declining, many coffee planters being
obliged to go out of business. The
coffee situation, as sized up by the
government scientists, is typical of
other agricultural pursuits in Hawaii.
There are the natural resources, eli
mate, soil and water, which 90 to
make coffee raising a success. But
many of the farmers have permitted
their plantations to run down; they

the highest grade. Disaster has been
the logical result.

SENT DYNAMITE
To DENVER MEN
Young Man Confesses to Sending
Internal Machine to Governor
and Other Prominent Men.
Declares He Had Mo Intention Of
Harming Them. But Wished to
Become a Hero, With Probable
Financial Reward as Result.

Denver.-Governo Henry A. Buch-
tel, David II. Mohatt, president of the
First National Bank of Denver, and
Charles b. Kounze, president of the
Colorado National bank. received,
through the mails on Tuesday. infer
nal machines containing sufficient
dynamite to have caused great de-
struction of lives and property had
they been exploded
Fortunately warning had been given
to the recipients of the machines by
Chief of Police Michael Delaney, who
had obtained confession from Kemp
v. Bigelow, by whom they were
mailed
Bigelow confessed, also, that he had
sent Internal machines to Lawrence c.
Phipps and Edward Chase, but these
were not delivered.
On Sunday night Bigelow notified
the police department that he had
overheard two men talking about a
plot to kill Edward Chase, Governor
Buchtel and other prominent citizens.
and that Mr. Chase's residence was to
be blown up tina night A search in
the vicinity Of the Chase residence re-
suited in the discovery of package
containing fifty-one sticks of dynamite.
Bigelow's story was regarded with
suspicion, and he was placed under
arrest Monday night. On Tuesday he
confessed that he himself had placed
the dynamite near Mr.. Chases house
where it was found. and that he had
sent several Internal machines by
mail. Had this confession not been
obtained in time to give warning to
the men to whom the machines had
been sent those who opened the boxes
containing the dynamite would un-
doubtedly have been killed.
Bigelow said that he was unable to
earn enough at his regular employ
ment to keep him properly and con-
ceived the idea of making hero of
himself. with probable financial re-
ward as a result, but that he had no
real intention of bringing any harm
to any one.

MAN DISGUISED AS WOMAN.
Baker City Newspaper Men Have
Theory Regarding Murder of Brown.

Portland, Ore.-A special dispatch
from Baker City to the Evening Tele-
gram says that newspaper representa-
tives and other newspaper men of
Baker City have established what they
believe to be incontrovertible evidence
that three men were implicated in the
assassination of Harvey X. Brown, one
of the men being dressed in woman's
attire in llimono. Three men have
been traced from the store where they
purchased the kimono, and 1t is be-
lieyed the one who posed as a woman
pulled the wire which exploded the
bomb. 1t is known that a woman was
seen near the scene a short time be-
fore the tragedy. According to the
Telegram's representative the three
men who purchased the kimono had
discussion in the store regarding the
size of the garment, one declaring he
could not wear it, as it was too small.
Noting the look of surprise on the
clerks face, he said ii was for large
woman A larger garment was pur-
chased. A singular fact is that shortly
before the purchase was made man
visited another store and was shown
some mother hubbard wrappers, but
bought Teddy bear instead to di,
vert attention.
