HONOLULU. .Dec.f1.-Considerable in
dignation has been aroused here at the
action Of Assistant Secretary Win
threp of the treasury department in
negotiating an exchange OF the prop
erty purchased by the government as
a site for the federal building for
other property farther from the bust
ness center of the city as the building
site. The property which the govern
ment viii secure, if the exchange Is
perfected. is a portion OF the property
owned here by w. G. Irwin, in whose
name the arrangements for the trade
were made with the treasury depart
ment-
The site originally selected and pur-
chased was not taken over by the gov
eminent until some $4,000 had been
spent on opening a new street past
1T, this amount having been raised by
subscription among the local merchants,
who desired the federal building to be
erected there. The action of the gov
eminent now is being called a breach
of faith and contract

postulating cablegrams to the secre-

pose the proposed transfer in congress-
F. w. Dohrmann, president of the San

OLDEST MAN IN WORLD
PASSES AWAY IN RUSSIA
Osip SusseIitch, COssack, Born
in 1873, Fought in War When
Eighty Years Old

Osip Susselitch. a Cossack, was the
Oldest man in the world until he died
recently at the truly venerable age of
135 wears. says the Moscow correspond
ent Of the New York World. Such is
the news from Tihis. where Susselitch.
VINO had lived more than one-four-
teenth part Of The Christian era,
lsreathed his last. That he should have
lived so long may seem incredible in
these DAYS. But excellent authorities,
Including the kavkaz, Russlas offcial
newspaper in Tifiis, insist there can be
no doubt that Osip Susselitch was born
19eeember 49, 1873. That is the very
cav and date on which, on the other
side Of the world, the rebels threw
lie British tea into Boston harbor.
This patriarch or nearly a century
and a half was a man In his prime when
NAPOLEON the Great made the disastrous
frvasion Of Russia. But Susselitch did
not fight with General Frost" in de-
tense Of his country. Forty years later,
however when he was four score years
OF age. he fought against the English,
French and Sandman allies IN the
frrimea and helped 10 defend Sebasto-
mol He used TO tell of fighting near
count TOlstOi, then a young ofhcer OF
rhe artillery. Susselitch served In the
Russian army in several Asiatlc cam
paiEns. and for 10 years hFed IN cap,
fIvity among the Turcomans OF central
Asia.
Susselitch never married; fippant
bachelors NAV ascribe his long term of
wears to his single blessedness. But IT
may be that he regretted his lonely
life. certainly he had a strange mental
amusement for a bachelor. He was
doscendanfs he would have seen had he
married carly and had his children and
their children been ordinarily proilnc

Of this scale in order to provide range
for new applicants and other. persons
entitled TO share in its use who did not
use it last season. The publication
of this sliding scale has been accepted
by Governor Gooding as an indication
that reduction has been made in the
total number of sheep allowed.
In his last telegram Governor Good
ing concludes by asking Have the
sheepmen of Idaho from their figures
not right to believe it is your inten-
ton to destroy their Industry"
Answering this the forester says that
'The 10000 limit does not mean that
large permits will be reduced to that
number, but simply prevents increase
by purchase beyond 10000. IL Idaho
sheepmen object to protection OF small
owners in this way 1 take issue with
them.
The forest service has worked con-
sistently and effectively for the perma-
nent prosperity OF the sheep industry
throughout the west by enforcement
of regulations necessary to protect
range and rights of others. Where re-
auctions are necessary for these pur-
men have no justification whatever for
assumption that unnecessary reduc-
tons will be made or that the forest
service is attempting to destroy their
industry.
There has been no further exchange
of views on the subject between the
wool growers and officers OF the forest
service. Meanwhile the sheepmen OF
Idaho will go ahead and Craze $4,000
head of sheep on Sawtooth national for
est. 1880 more than they grazed last
year. and incidentally eniov the same
prosperity that has been theirs in past
seasons.

ner he was the champion base stealer
of the National League. and as a slider
Ills equal has never been produced.
Experienced baseball men have
claimed that the secret of Kelly's sue
cess in base stealing was that he had
the art of timing his start correctly,
which is most essential in base steal
ing.
Kelly was an enthusiast in every
thing pertaining to baseball. and, al
though not an individual player in the
full sense of the word. he was born
leader. and to take a back seat for
any one else was not the Kelly style.
King Kelly was member or the
champion Chicago club VIXEN he and
Harry Stovey Were struggling desper-
.ately for the championsh honors in
base stealing.
{ Near the close of the season. whea
only few points separated Kelly and
stoyey. the rivalry was at tension
point. The Boston club happened to
be performing at Chicago on this par
ticular day, and with the score close
one Kelly laced out two Dagger.
Captain Arson followed Kelly to tho
bat, and this sturdy fellow laid down
IA perfect hunt, with the purpose Of
sacrificing. ard he was put out by q
close decision at first. Judge of Cap
tain Ansons anger when lie looked
around from first base and saw Kelly
on his face that was puzzle to the
doughty captain.
But think of his great surprise when,
on the next ball pitched. Kelly stole
third base, and this. added to his re-
cord for the season, allowed him to
beat Stovey out for the championship
base-stealing honors for that year.
