NURSE AND CHILD
DRAGGED 4 BLOCK

A Japanese nurse, holding a baby in
her arms, was dragged for over a
block behind a frightened horse in Pa
lama yesterday afternoon, the result
of collision between a surrey, driven
by Mrs. L. R. Crook, and an expressed
wagon, in which the surrey emerged
minus a wheel. Neither the nurse nor
the child were hurt, put both had a
narrow escape. Mrs. Crook was driv-
ing a spirited horse, coming towards
town, about half past o'clock. When
passing Kamehameha schools there
was something of a block in the road,
three vehicles meeting, an express
wagon humping the front wheel of the
Surrey. The wheel flew into pieces,
dropping the front of the surrey and
throwing the japanese woman, who
had the child in her lap, partially out
of the rig. She grasped the front axle
and saved herself from being pitched
entirely out, although her shoulder
dragged on the ground The horse,
startled at the accident, bolted and ran
past the pumping station before Mrs.
Crook could stop it. During this run
the nurse kept tight hold of the little
one in her charge and saved it from
all injury.

A LAWYER, NOT
! A PREACHER

A. L. C. Atkinson appears to be
wanted by the Anti-Saloon League
members as their superintendent to
succeed John G. Woolley, this desire
being stated most emphatically at tn
annual meeting of the league on Thurs
being stated most emphatically az the
members endorsing him gave the i'm
preston that all had been arranged.
Evidently Mr.. Atkinson had not been
consulted in the matter, however, for
yesterday he stated most empha aticaIly
that he would not accept the position.
There is no quarrel between me and
the members of the league" said Mr..
Atkinson last night, "but I could not
accept that position. I am not a tenn
perance man in the sense that a lead
er of the league ought to be. I am an
advocate for local option and 1 intend
to fight for local option and make it
an issue of the campaign, although 1
believe that the victory for it is al
ready gained.
What 1 would accept, If it is offered
me, is the position of legal adviser for
the league, now that Mr.. Woolley is
going away. 1 am a lawyer and am
working up a legal practise. I am not
a preacher nor canC I go about the
country giving temperance sermons. I
do not care to discuss the action taken
by the league at its annual meeting
concerning myself"

dating the suggestion that he accept
the position as superintendent of the

Sk|PS FLEET To
MEET ROOSEVELT
(From saturdays Advertiser.)

IF I have invited the men named
| to accompany me to Washington,
said Governor Frear yesterday after
noon, 81 it is because they are good
men, but 1 have not given it out that
| l h.,ve chosen those who will go with
me-"
Tie Governor had reference to evan
| irg paper reports that w. o. Smith,
Aionzo Gartley and Ralph Hosmer mad
been invited by the Governor to ac-
company him to Washington to attend
various States and Territories called
by President Roosevelt to occur on
MAJ 20.
Governor Frear did not state that he
had not invited these gentlemen but,
as noted above, he had not made it
public that he had yet made his Sc
lection.
Those whom I select, and myself, :"
said the Governor, will hold a num-
ber of conferences before our depar-
ture, for discussion OF those things
likely to be brought up at the meeting
in Washington. 1 have not mapped
out any recommendations; these may
come as the result of our conferences"
A world of knowledge of these islands
is represented by the gentlemen stated
to be the Governors selection. w. o.
Smith is thoroughly acquainted with
sugar, finance. and government; Cart
ley is familiar with irrigation matters
and HOsmer, as forester, is expert.
Governog Frear, leaving here the oath

invitations from the chairman of the
fleet reception committee, and the
mayor of the city and county of San

REMORSE DRIVES
Al kIU To DEATH

All Kiu, a Chinese woman about
forty-five years of age, was found
dead in her home in Palolo yester-
day morning with all the circum-
stances pointing to suicide from OPT
um poisoning.
1t seems almost certain that All Kiu
committed suicide from remorse, and
to escape the disgrace WIZ n she fear
ed would fall ON her because of her
connection with an affair which the
police have been investigating.
All Fung, . Chinese girl 13 years
of age, applied at the police station
walton Army Rescue Home. to escape
her fathers beatings, she told Chief
Taylor. The Chief in investigating the
matter found from her father that she
had frequently played truant from
school and he feared that all was not
right with her. Finally the girl con-
fessed to Chief Taylor that she had
suffered at the hands of Chen Yee,
a Chinese pig rancher at Moiliili. All
Kiu had harbored them both. Chen
Yee was brought in to the police sta
tion and he finally confessed his guilt.
All Kiu was sent for and she finally
admitted her completely which she
said had been an ignorant one. She
was told that she would have to be
a witness for the prosecution. Her
husband upbraided her severely for
her part in the matter. and her death
by suicide was the next development
in the matter
Chen Wee was yesterday formally
charged by the police with a serious
offence.

WHY THE RESTORER
WILL NOT RETURN

VANCOUVER, March 1.-THE cable
repairing steamship Restorer of the
Commercial Pacific Gable, which ar
rived at Victoria in January to under
go her annual overhauling in the Es-
quimalt drydock, is to make her head
quarters at the Capital in future in
stead of at Honolulu as heretofore, and
the bulk of the japanese crew will be
signed off in a few days and under an
arrangement made with the Dominion
immigration, officials thirty-five viii be
returned TO Honolulu by the steamship
Moana on March 27.
The Restorer was recently coaled in
order to be ready to sail at any time
should her services be required for any
break in the Pacific cable. Her last
work was in mending a break near
the island of Guam last autumn. As
the vessel is required only in case of
accident TO the cable her stays in port
are usually extensive, and she will be
anchored al Victoria for a considerable
time.
The decision to remove the Restor-
er's station from Honolulu TO Victoria
was due TO the advantages that are 70
be secured, which counteracted the
short difference in the proximity to the
cable. The drydock is close at hand
coal can be secured for a considerable
less price. provisions and supplies gen
orally are cheaper and more easily pro-
cured. An idea Of the amount required
IS shown by the fact that. according
to report, the bills for the stocking OF
the steamer for six months amounted tc
$4,000. The steamer took on board 11of
tons Of coal some days ago.
The Restorer is a British vessel She
is one Of the best found and probably
the best equipped vessel of her class
The crew now totals about eighty-five
in all, under the command OF Captain

Some French writer's have under.

that their national literature is not
truly represented by the coarse and
indecent novels that are supposed by
many persons to be the most charac.
teristic production of literary France.
Not only is it not true, remarks the
Youths Companion, but the picture OF
French life drawn from these novels
is grossly unjust. There are hundreds
of French novels written every year
that are as sweet and wholesome az
anything England or America can

Beet Growers Resist Cut.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Rocky Ford Saturday night says: At
a monster convention here to-day at
tended by nearly 500 delegates, repre-
sent1ng beet growers associations Of
the Arkansas valley, resolutions were
passed that beets would not be grown
by the farmers for $3.50 ton, and that
unless the factories agree to the scale
OF 1907 some crop other than beets
would be grown this year.
1t was announced by the companies
recently that for 1908 only $3.50 ton
would be paid, unless they contain fif-
teen per cent. sugar content, when IS
would be paid. A meeting Of growers
in this vicinity was held two weeks
ago and committee was appointed to
go up and down the valley, organize
the beet growers and invite them to
send delegates to the convention to-
day.
AS a result nearly thirty associa.
tions were organized within the last
week and the meeting to-day included
delegates from St. Charles, the Pueblo
growers association, Nepesta, Fowler,
Manzanola, Vineland, Las Animas, La
mar. Holly, Garden City, Kansas, and
there are five plants. at Rocky Ford,
Swink, Las Animas, Lamar and Holly.
Before the resolutions were passed
to-day delegation was sent to wait
upon General Manager Weitzer of the
American Beet Sugar Company and
tell him that the convention had de-
cided that beets would not be raised
unless the 1907 scale was signed for
1908. His reply was not favorable, and
when the delegation returned to the
convention the resolutions were
passed.
The growing Of tomatoes was most
favored. The Barlow Consolidated
Canning Company has agreed to re-
build the canning factory recently
burned here. If enough acreage is
pledged and should tomatoes be sub
stituted in the valley for beets it is
likely that more canning factories will
be built.
