 Methuen, Mass, Aug. 10.-Covered with bruises, the bodies of Charles Emerson and Frank McDermott, of. f1cers of the Methuen police. were found in a meadow on the outskirts of this town. The two officers were sent out to watch for hen and vege- table thieves. They failed to return. and upon a search being instituted for them their bodies were found bearing every evidence that they had been beaten to death.
 McDermott's head was crushed in. and there were many ugly bruises about Emerson's body, indicating that both officers were beaten to death by some blunt implements, presumably two blood stained stones which were found nearby.
 The bushes were spattered with blood and trampled. evidently by a struggle. Prom the nature of the spot snd the position in which the bodies were lying it Is thought that while the two officers were following the man or men suspected of thieving they were attacked viciously from the bushes.
 ss. Upon With Clubs.
 Two large rocks. well aimed and thrown from behind at c short dis tance, 1t Is thought. knocked down the surprised officers. As they tried to rise to their feet they were set upon with clubs and in the case of Elmer. son. it is believed. with . knife, and. half dazed and fighting blIndly, they were beaten into insensibility.
 Chief Jones hss communicated with the state police. and State 0nscer Fred F. Flynn has been sent to work upon the case. but there are few ciews to the murderers.

terests, and good crops are Of ,itrle value
 to the farmer unless they open the door to
 a good kind of life on the farm.
 The president quotes from an ad.
 dress delivered last May and contin- ues: '''. '... 1 It is especially important that what. ever will serve to prepare country chil-
 dren for life on the farm and whatever
 will brighten home life in the country
 and make 1t richer and more attractive
 for the mothers, wives and daughters of | farmers should be done promptly, thor oughly and gladly. There is no more im-
 portant person, measured in influence ! upon the life of the sation. than the farmers wife, no moro important than
 the country home, and it is of national importance to do the best ve can for both.
 The farmers have hitherto had less than i their full share of public attention along the lines of business and social life. ! There is too much belief among all our i people that the prizes of life lie away 1 from the farm. I shall be very glad in- deed If you will consent to serve upon a commission on country life, upon which am asking the following gentlemen to 1 act:
 Professor L. H. Bailey, New York State College of Agriculture, Ithaca. N. r., chairman.
 Henry Wallace. waliace's Farmer. Des Moines Ia. >
 President Keyon L. Butterfield. Massa- chusetts Agricultural college. Amherst. Mass.
 Clifford Pinchot, United States forest service.
 Walter H. Page. editor of the Worlds Work. New York.
 Will Recommend Legislation. My immediate purpose in appointing this commission is to secure from 1t such information and advice as will enable me to make recommendations to congress upon this extremely important matter. I shall be glad If the commission win re- port to me upon the present condition of country life, upon what means are now available for supplying the deficiencies which exist and upon the best methods of organized permanent effort In investiga- tion and actual work along the lines I have indicated.
 You will doubtless also find 1t neces- sary to suggest means of bringing about the redirection or better adaptation of rural schools to the training of children for life on the farm The national and state agricultural departments must ulti- mately join with the various farmers and agricultural organizations in the ef- fort to secure greater efficiency and at- tractiveness in country life.
 In view of the pressing importance of this subject should be glad to have your report before the end of next December For that reason the commission will doubtless find It imprscticable to under take extensive investigations, but will rather conf1ne itseif to . summary of what Is already known. a statement of the problem and the recommendation of measures tending toward its solution.

HOW THE BATTLE
IS BEING WAGED

A splendidly large and representa-
tive gathering was the response to less
than a days notice of a Republican
rally at Wilder avenue and Punahou
streets last night. Such a great turn
out of the people of one of the swell
lest residence districts in the city was
really significant considering that in
the next block diagonally from the
park a fine musical performance was
well patronized by the fashion and
wealth of Honolulu. 1t showed that
the most intelligent classes OF the city
have at last awakened to the fact that
an election is in progress upon which
largely depends the future of self-gov-
eminent here in Hawaii and altogeth-
err depends the question of whether or
not this city and county, in the initial
term of the new municipal charter,
will have honest, economical and eff
cient government.
E. G. Brown presided and speeches
were delivered by Chairman A. l.. e.
Atkinson of the Territorial Central
Committee, by Delegate Kalanianaole
and other candidates.
Another large meeting was held at
Kaiulani tract Kalihi. Mr.. Nawaa pre-
sided and there were speeches by Del
egate Kalanianaole, in two languages
and other candidates. The audience
contained many Portuguese household
ers in that pretty suburb. 1t was one
Of the most earnestly attentive gath
erings yet convened by the Republi,
cans. The applause won by the Dele
gate and other speakers was both
| hearty and spontaneous.
Among other points made by kala.
nianaole was that McCandless made
demogogic attacks on the sugar indus.
try, the backbone of the Territory up
on which all the inhabitants depended
for prosperity.
The Democrats held meetings last
night in Manoa valley and at Kalihi
McCandless being the principal orator
at both.

IN DALNY

thousand dollars which belonged to
local merchants, has been arrested
finally in Dalny, Manchuria. The
news was received quite a long time
ago from the japanese Government
that Abe had been placed under arrest
at Yokohama, but this turned out to
be a mistake. The matter was taken
up by the Attorney Generals Depart
ment with American Ambassador
O'Brien, at Toxic. He first wired ask
ing for full description of Abe, which
was promptly sent him by cable. Then
came a long wait, while the local au-
thorities were getting busy in Wash
ington for the extradition proceedings.
Acknowledgement c. r. Hemenway
took the matter up as soon as ne
reached the National capital. The pro-
per papers were secured and a war
rant issued which gave Chester Doyle,
of this city, the power to arrest and
bring to Hawaii the person of the
forger. The document arrived last
Friday by the Alameda and Doyle ex-
pected to leave for Japan by the Anne
RIGA Maru, which sailed on Monday.
In order that no mistake might be
made Ambassador OBrien was wired
to find out if Abe was under arrest. He
replied that he was not, but last night
a second cable was received saying
that he was thought to be in Dalny.

TALK AGAINST
KILLING RATS

Some of the members of the Terri
torial Board of Health are becoming
greatly exercised over the addresses
which are being made to the children
of the public schools by a Mrs. Rey-
nolds, who is making a tour of the To-
cal educational institutions under the
guidance of Mrs. S. B. Dole and Frank
w. Damon, in the interests of the HUI
name Society. Her lackof knowledge
of local medical conditions has caused
number of breaks which may do Sc
rious harm.
When talking 10 the children at the
Kaahumanu School a few days ago
Mrs. Reynolds first told the children
about the many things which they
should not do in regard to treating
animals cruelty. Then she came to
the subject of killing animals without
reason. In this regard she stated that
it was wrong to kill rats, than the doc
tors said that they carried disease but
that this was only theory and the
animals should not be killed.
Before she had gone much further
MIR. Damon interferred and tried to
stop the flow of language. He was
only partially successful however, for
the lady insisted that the fact that
rats carried plague had never been
proven and finally consented to amend
to with the statement that if ras must
be killed it should be done in the ten
derest possible manner.

This morning a second message came
saying that Abe had been arrested.
Doyle will leave for Japan by the
Pacific Mail steamer Siberia which
sails on Monday next. He was select
ed for the duty for two reasons, in the
first place because his complete knowl-
edge of the Japanese language and of
the law fit him for the position better
than anyone else, and secondly because
the Japanese merchants who are put
ting up the money for the trip selected
him.

TRANSPORT DIX

Ten days fiat from Seattle, with
horses and mules for Manila, the Army
transport Dix locked at the Alakea
street wharf at 7:15 this morning, to
remain until Friday, taking in 600
tons of coal and giving the live stock
a leg-stretch ashore.
Lieutenant Rufus B. Clark, Third
Infantry, U. S. A., is the quartermas-
ter in charge of the transport, whose
skipper is Captain Ankers.
The Dix maintains her reputation as
the neatest animal and freight trans
port afoat. She appears to be more
of "a pleasure craft, to one who is
aboard, than a freighter.
