NO POLE
FOR H|LO
CONDITIONS NEAR RAINY CITY
NOT FAVORABLE TO WIRELESS
STATION.

Kahuku's long-distance wireless sta
ton is sufficient for the needs of this
Territory and way beyond, as demon
strated by recent tests and, inasmuch
as it has been found difficult to con-
meet at Hilo with Kahuku, and Puako
is after all, all that is needed for the
Island of Hawaii, it has been decided
not to establish a wireless station at
Hilo.
Wireless Expert A. A. Isbell this
morning returned from the Big Island
in the s. S. Claudine. He went to
Hawaii to carry out tests with 0per-
ator Branch at Kahuku, with view
to locating a favorable spot for q
station near Hilo. He found, however
that conditions are not favorable pro
badly on account of high lands in
the line of transit. Isbell. in testing
even took ship out of Hilo to test
by aerial hung on her masts.

BAKER DEMURS
To A RECOUNT

A demurrer to the petition of
Charles Blake VS.. George Baker, ask
ing for a recount of the ballots cast
for auditor on the island of Kauai
was filed in the Supreme Court this
morning. The grounds on which it is
asked that the petition be dismissed
are largely technical. 1t is alleged
that the grounds stated in the petition
are ambiguous and uncertain, that nc
protest against the count of the votes
was entered at the time of election
and that the whole matter is IAN at
tempt to have the ballot boxes opened
in the vain hope of finding evidence
which would authorize the court tc
inspect the ballots"

Startling Statistics Brought Out att the tuberculosis Congress by Professor
Fisher. of Yale.

Washington, D. C.-Professor Irv-
ing Fisher, of Yale University, read a
paper before the International Con-
gress on tuberculosis which created a
decided sensation. Professor Fishers
paper was on "The Cost of Tubercu-
losis," and he made the startling an
nouncement that the great white
plague costs in hard cash over one
billion dollars a year.
He estimated that consumption
kills $4,000 persons every year in
the United States. This is equal, he
said, to the deaths from typhoid
fever, diphtheria, appendicitis, men
nights, diabetes, smallpox and cancer
all put together. Then again, he said,
it generally takes three years to die,
during which time thepoor victim can
earn little or nothing.
Five million people now living in
the United States are doomed to fill
consumptives' graves unless some
thing can be done to prevent it," de-
clared Professor Fisher. "As each
death means anxiety and grief for a
whole family, I estimate that there
will be over twenty million persons
rendered miserable by these deaths"
The scourge, he said, picks out its
victims when they are young men and
young women, at the very time of life

Washington, D. C.-Accidents in
coal mines Of the United States dur
ing the last calendar year resulted In
the death of 1925 men, and injury to
1915 more, according to statistics
just made public by the Geological
Survey. The death record among the
coal miners during the year was
greater by 1893 than in 1905, and is
said to have been the worst year in
the history of the coal mining indus
try. The figures do not represent the
full extent of the disasters, as re-
ports were not received from certain
States having no mine inspectors.
West Virginia reported the heaviest
death rate in 1907, 1895 per thou
sand employees, and this State also
showed the lowest production for
each life lost-65,969 tons. New
Mexico stood next on the list with a
death rate of 11.45 and a production
Of 1882 tons for each life lost. Ala
bama was third, with a death rate Of
7.2 per thousand and Il production Of

when they are beginning to earn
money. The minimum cost Of doc
tors bills, nursing, medicines and loss
of earnings amount to over $4,000 in
each case, while the earning power
which might have been If death had
not come brings the total cost to at
least $4,000 for each individual.
If this sum is multiplied by the
$4,000 deaths, the cost, 1t IS seen,
Is bigger than the immense sum of
81, 900, 900, 900. Professor Fisher es-
timated that over half this cost falls
upon the victims themselves, but the
cost to others than the consumptive
is over $440, 100000 a year.
AS a matter of self-defense, he
averred, it would be worth while to
the community in order to save mere
ly a quarter of the lives now lost by
consumption to invest $5,500,000,-
900. At present only a fraction of
one per cent. Of this sum Is being
used to fight the disease.
Professor Fisher expressed his be-
lief that isolation hospitals for In
durable consumptives are the best in
vestment Of all, because in this way
the most dangerous 'consumptives are
prevented from spreading the disease
by careless splitting in their homes
and neighborhood.

breaking of the prolonged drought
throughout the country. Rain has
fallen generally throughout the Uni

Of the Weather Bureau, announced
that it would continue for several
days throughout the Eastern States
and be followed by clear and decided
ly cooler weather. The rains now
prevailing East of the Mississippi
River started in the Far West several
days ago.
A drop of more than thirty degrees
in temperature occurred in Chicago.
following a heavy rain and wind
storm. The mercury went from
eighty degrees to fifty-nine degrees,
and early next morning was down to
fortv-sevep degrees.
Ohio has had much rain within the
past twenty-four hours. The farm
ers have lost heavily by reason of the
prolonged drought, and the rain
comes too late to do them much good.
Heavy frosts are reported from
Oklahoma and Northern Texas. The
thermometer dropped forty degrees
in tw%enty-four hours at points in Ken
lucky and Tennessee. st. PauPs
temperature was only three degrees
above freezing. Killing frosts are re-
ported in all the country north Of

THREE STATES SUFFERING
Long Drought in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and West Virginia.
Streams May Be Disease Carriers at
End Of Drought-Pittsburg Coal
Barges Stranded.

Pittsburg, Pa.-I'he drought held
Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio
and West Virginia in its grasp fol-
more than two months. Each day in
creased the seriousness Of the situa'
ton. It's effects thus far may be sum-
married. as follows:
Losses ~aggregating several million
dollars from forest fires, heavy dam
age to crops and live stock, the less OF
a number of lives in fighting timber
CONGREGATIONS, the enforced idleness
of thousands of workmen, owing to
the suspension of manufacturing es-
Establishments because of lack Of water,
anticipation of a serious epidemic of
contagious diseases by health author
tiles. and the drying up OF many
small streams.
A serious phase of the situation is
the threatened disease epidemic. IN
habitants Of Western Pennsylvania.
Eastern Ohio and West Virginia are
even now suffering from throat afec-
lions caused by the great accumula-
ton of dust and the heavy clouds of
smoke. In this city, accustomed to
smoke, the sun is almost obscured by
the smoke from forest fires miles
away, and persons in the vicinity Of
these fires are experiencing difficulty
in breathing. The health authorities
have warned the public to boil all
drinking water.
The enforced suspension Of nu-
merous industries and the throwing
out of employment Of thousands Of
workmen, many of whom had just re-
turned to work following the recent
depression, is another effect Of the
drought. While In the Pittshurg dis
irict the water supply is sufficient to
carry on all business, the low stage
of the rivers has caused a congestion
of river coal traffic. Every available
barge and float has been loaded with
coal, and with almost 2~0,0OO,OOO
bushels in Pittsburg water, the river
coal mines have been compelled to
shut down for the want Of shipping
facilities. There are about $4,000
miners employed in river mines along
the Monongahela. The coal Is
barges is for the supply of Doiut West
and South. The probabilities are
there will be a coal famine, especially
in the Northwest, should conditions
prevent the shipment of the coal be-
fore cold weather begins. .. .!.I
In West Virginia. lumber plants.
glass factories and iron and steel
mills located along the rivers are
closed because OF lack of water. In
Eastern Ohio the same conditions pre-
vail. It was feared the great iron and
steel mills at youngstown, Ohio, en-
ploying over 10000 mel, would have
to shut down unless the drought is
speedily broken.

Statistics do not bear out the pop
ular idea that most mine disasters
result from explosions. OF the total
number reported during the last year,
947 deaths and 343 injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions, and POL
deaths and 416 injuries were caused
by powder explosions. The chief
cause of death among the miners, the
report explains, vas due to the falling

the survey, asserts that much benefit

NIGHT RIDERS LEAVE RUINS.
Thirteen Negro Churches and School
houses Burned Down.

Albany, Ga.-There is a reign Of
terror among the negro inhabitants
of a considerable portion of Calhoun,
Baker and Miller Counties, following
a raid by night riders. when thirteen
negro churches and schoolhouses
were burned.
The buildings DESTROYED were
Mount Zion Church and schoolhouse,
Pleasant Hill Church and school,
house, Christ Church and school
house, Little Zion Church and school
house, Belmont Church, Mount Aetna
Church and schoolhouse and New
Salem Church and schoolhouse.
The riders first appeared three
miles east of Kestler, where the first
church was fired. Then they galloDed
away toward the east, and before the
glare Of the first fire had reached Its
height another was being kindled a
few miles away. Fire followed Gre,
and the destruction of every building
to which the torch was applied was
complete.
Many OF the best members of the
negro race in the three counties
named are members of the congrega-
tions of some of the burned churches.
This is the same community where
a few months ago negro lodge rooms
were dynamited and where there have
been several lynchings recently.

San Francisco, Cal.-Wrapped in
the tentacles of a giant devil fish,
Martin Lund, a diver employed by
the Coast Wrecking Company, fought
for his life in the hold of the wrecked
steamer Pomona, which lies in thirty
feet of water in Fort Ross Cove off
the Marin County coast.
The devil fish had evidently entered
the vessels hold during the night.
Lund had been at work some time
before he was attacked. A giant ten
tacle four inches in diameter first
gripped one leg. Before Lund real
lied what was happening another en-
circled his thigh.
The diver began to chop at the rub
ber-like bonds and at the same time
gave the hosting signal to the barge
above. Two more t~entacles squirmed
