FOR
PAYMASTER RYAN
OFFICER OF THE PACIFIC FLEET
REPORTED ENUMERATED BY
THE COURT-MARTIAL.

= SANTA BARBARA, June S.-The
findings of the trial board that court
martialed Paymaster e. d. Ryan Of
the Pacific fleet recently have been
sealed and sent to Washington. Ryan
has been relieved of duty pending
the approval or disapproval by the
Navy Department of the courts find
ings. Not word could be learned
from the officers here tonight about
the decision, but it is generally be-
lieved among the men of the ships
here that it is acquittal.
Ryan is about 35 and has been in
the Navy ten years. He was tried
on specifications embodying four
counts-conduct unbecoming an Off
Ger and a gentleman, intoxication
while on duty, neglect of duty and
insolence. He is held in high esteem
by both officers and men, who seem
to be general in hoping for his ac-
quittal.

CHURCH INFLUENCE IN
AMERICAN POLITICS


There have been smiles at the report
that at the meeting of the Methodist
General Conference on May IA Bishop
Nicely charged the Roman Catholic
Church with mingling in politics. It's
influence, he said (as quoted) is felt
in our state and municipal govern
ments and at Washington. No doubt,
no doubt; but it would not be hard to
Bishop Neelys church is also felt in
our state and municipal governments
and in Washington. Who fights the
army canteen? Who makes Congress-
ing driven beer out of the Soldiers
Home? Who took notice when Mr..
Fairbanks drank the cocktail? The
Methodist Church is very influential in
our politics. There are six and a
half million Methodists in the country,
over five million Baptists, and eleven
or twelve million Roman Catholics. All
three of these large churches are bound
to be influential, and the Methodists
certainly are. Just what distinction
Bishop Nicely would make between
Methodist political activity and Ca
tholic activity we don't know 1t is
conceivable that in some matters the
two influences supplement one another
to the profit of the community, and
that in other matters they temper one
another, also to the profit of the com

CITIZEN LABOR LAW.

Attorney General Hemenway stated
tnis morning that he had received a
letter from his deputy, W. l.. Whitney,
who is on Maui and who heard the
testinE0ay of several witnesses in re-
gard to the alleged violation of the
citizen labor law by Contractor Nc
Donald who has just completed the
Waikiki courthouse.
The evidence goes to show that Nc
Donald bought finished lumber from
the Kahului railroad, who had in turn
purchased 1t from a mill where Asia
tics were employed. Whether this con-
stitutes a violation of the law is a
question which will have to be decided

When Mr.. Voice first left Northport
for Denver, "a years ago this coming
Thanksgiving. he made the trip TO Chi
cago on the old steamer Lawrence.
At family reunion on the day OF his
departure with his sister, Miss Minnie
Voice. the entire family attempted to
persuade them to remain over and
take the next boat for Chicago, the
steamer Vernon.
Although a blizzard was raging at
the time. Mr.. Voice was determined
to make the trip. and In spite OF all
left that night wilt hhis SIS
ter on the Lawrence.
When the Vernon made her trip. the
blizzard was still raging, and she was
lost with every one on board. except
one passenger. Mr.. Stone. who died a
year later from exposure suffered at
that time. Mr.. Voice and all those
who attempted TO make him take the
Vernon on that trip. have been ex-
ceedingly thankful that he would not
be persuaded to change his plans.

Takes 80 Grains of
Deadly Poison by
eMistake and Lives

PORT HURON. Mich, Nov. "a
Mistaking corrosive sublimate for a
harmless cough medicine. the 15-year-
old daughter of Robert Baker. Clyde
township. took 80 grains OF the viru-
lent poison and for hours lay between
life and death as the result.
The girl, who is the eldest daughter
of Mr.. Baker, had been Ill for several
days with a cold, taking the poison
which is otherwise known as mercuric
chloride. and which Is one OF the most
irritating poisons known to scientists.
The ordinary dose OF corrosive subli-
mate is about 100 grain, and when
the fact that Miss Baker took 30
grains of the chloride Is considered.
her recovery was almost miraculous.
DR.. o. II. Patrick was called imme-
diately. and worked over the girl dur
ing the remainder OF the day. After
havering between life and death for
hours her condition took turn for
the better, and from last night on. she
has improved rapidly. and 1t is now
believed that the girl will recover.

lish- Boer war. Field Marshal Roberts
said that England's military force was
very Inadequate. This fact, In case ~
an invasion would probably cause
Great Britain 10 lose the supremacy
OF the seas. Germany could easily
land an army on the shores of Eng
land. he contended, and under the
existing conditions England would
have 10 submit TO humiliating de-
mands.
The defense OF the islands demands
immediate attention. Lord Roberts
said. He disclaimed fear OF or hostil-
ity for Germany.
There should be an army so strong
In numbers and efficient in quality that
the most formidable OF foreign ma
lions will hesitate TO make landing
In England" he said. Il have learned
that vessels capable OF accommodating
100000 men are always available In
the northern ports OF Germany, and
that as result OF the new German
service law. 100000 men can be col
lected in the districts OF the nearest
port without any trouble.
The great German steamship lines
are in constant practice In embarking
and disembarking, and as the rail-
roads are owned by the state all pre-
lIminaries. up to the actual dispatch
OF troops, could be carried out with
the utmost secrecy. Germany is
aware that 1t would be essential for
her transports to evade the British
feet, and she could easily distract at
tention by small raids while the main
decentralization was proceeding undiS-
turbed.
at would be folly to shut our eyes
to these possibilities. however much
peace Is desired. The startling events
in the near east have brought home
To the most careless observer the fact
that nothing can save that country
which is not prepared to protect IT.
