HEARST At WORK
AL THE TINE
DIsoWNs THE DEMOCRATIC PAR
TY BUT HOPES FOR A PRBsI-
DENTAL NOMINATION.

NEW YORK, July 6.-There are a
few surface indications that w. h.
Hearst is still alive politically, or, at
least, that he wishes to be considered
a political factor. These indications
are apparent in his daily newspapers.
His henchmen, too, after a period OF
rest since the campaign of last fall,
are trying to revive the Independence
League. About all that is left of It is
the Gilsey headquarters, where brass
buttoned individual holds forth at the
door and informs all callers that he
des not know where Hearst is or
when he will be at headquarters.
Hearst having publicly renowned
his allegiance to the Democratic party,
there is some mystification as to his

YOUNG EOMONDS
IS TOO YOUNG
JUDGE WHITNEY REAFFIRMs HIS
REFUSAL TO TRY THE BOY FOR
ARSON.

The case of Buddy Edmonds, the
young son of w. S. Edmonds of Wal
kiki who was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by Tam Pong, a Chinaman
living in the same neighborhood on
charge of malicious burning, it being
alleged that he had set fire to stack
of straw owned by the Chinaman and
valued at 5000, came up from a con-
tinuance for trial in police court this
morning, and was finally dismissed by
Judge Whitney.
The case hinged on the age of the
boy, since under the age of seven
years, child is not subject to arrest
on criminal charges. The father swore
that the boy was six years and five
months of age, while the prosecution
represented by Attorney Chas. CTeigh-
ton tried to show that the boy was
past seven. This he failed to do ac-

PAYS OFF DEBT

CHICAGO MAN RUINED IN PORK

SQUARE AGAIN.

CHICAGO. July Edward w. Bal
ley who, fourteen years ago in the
famous pork corner, lost 100000, to-
gether with men associated with him,
last night mailed out checks for $780,
600, thus wiping out the last cent of
his Indebtedness. He has not much
money left, but faces the world with
clean hands. For fourteen years pay
ment of his obligations has been an
obsession. Under the rules Of the
game, he could have gone into bank
ruptcy, or gone broke" and either
method would have cancelled the OBJ
legations in the eyes of the law.
But Bailey took a different view OF
things. He owed certain men certain
amounts of money, and repayment OF

THEY COT SAMSHU
FROM THE CARGOES
HAWAIIANS ARRESTED FOR VIO-
LATING FEDERAL LAW TO GET
CHINESE BOOZE.

Custom house officers watching the
Hackfeld wharf on Wednesday arrest
ed two Hawaiian men and turned them
over to the United States District At
torney for investigation. The men
are charged with violating the Fed
eral law in the matter Of the handling
of liquor
For some time it has been observed
that numbers of the stevedores work
ing cargoes from the Orient would be-
come intoxicated on duty and 1T de-
veloped that they were drinking sam
shu, Chinese wine. Whether it was
stolen from the cargo of a ship from
the Orient or being sold on the wharf
by Honolulu men is not at present
known, and this is what is being in
vestigated by the Federal authorities.
For many months customs officers
have been on the watch to arrest men
in the act Of handling the liquor, but
heretofore such care has been observ-
ed that nothing but consequent drunk
enness could be observed.
On Wednesday two Hawaiians were
caught with three bottles Of the stuff
and placed under arrest. They were
turned over to the Federal authorities.
A local paper made the statement
yesterday that two Chinese were ar
rested yesterday, not stating what for.
They were not Chinese and were not
arrested yesterday. The men were ar
rested Wednesday and were Hawaii
ans.

been hunting counterfeiters on that

The counterfeits which have made
their appearance are all $40 pieces,

The last ones, up to the time of the
present raid, were passed at Kukuiha-

be traced and no arrests were made
then.

This will be one Of the three most
severe disturbances of the month, and
while the severe part of it will mss
ninc-tcnths Of the counties or sections,
it will be best to keep a lookout for
storms that may do some damage
This disturbance will also inauguratc
4 great high temperature wave that Will
affect most parts Of the continent and
cause temperatures to average very high
till end of the month The cool wave
mentioned will give very little relief.
A most interesting feature Of this
disturbance will be its drouth proclivi-
ties. The heat wave and the evapora-
ton it will cause will seriously damage
late corn a,M fall pastures and as this
condition will probably continue to the
end of the month the corn crop will
probably have seen its best cropweatllcr
before this letter is published Indica-
tons are that temperatures will CON
tinue to range higher and the soil grow
drier to the end Of August
Immediately following August 10 the
temperatures promise to average high
and the weather dry. As much of the
corn crop is late, the bulk Of it will not
mature before the middle Of September
and month of dry weather following
August 10 being expected. particularly
III western portions of the corn belt, the
outlook for an average corn crop is not
promising
Indications are that the transcontinen-
tai disturbances will take northern
routes during the last three weeks OF
August. leaving the states hot and dry.
This weather will hurry the corn crop
to maturity and get it out of danger as
to frost This will be fortunate as we
may have frost by September Il.
These drouth forecasts do not apply
to east of meridian 90. Fair crop
weather may be expected in the eastern
states and provinces and the shortage of
western crops will assure good prices
for eastern products.
These bad crop forecasts do not apply
to spring wheat am III doubt about
that crop and the conditions are such
that | can not now safely forecast the
probable result.
| still advise farmers to hold their
corn for 6oc, Chicago markets. By the
last of August they will know what to
do do not anticipate frost damages.
