HOLMES and FORD
EXPLAIN LEPER STORY

Burton Holmes, the lecturer and
article in the Ladies' Home Journal
in which the now famous leper in
cident Is described. has written to
Robert X. BONNIE and makes amends
as best he can. He states that the
incident occurred up Manoa valley
while he was with Ford, the latter
making SO much of 1t that 1t stuck
In his mind. Holmes writes Il very
manly letter, and promises the peo-
pie of Hawaii that he will do all in
his power to erase the bad impress
sion he has made here.
Speaking of Holmes letter this
morning Ford said: ut was a SPLEEN
did, manly letter that must remove
from the mind of everyone any idea
of culpability on Holmes part. To
me the matter was Il mere incident.
Holmes states in his Companion ar
ticle that his companion was not in
the least alarmed. had just return
ed to the Islands then, eight months
ago and did not realize that hand
to-hand army across oahu could
march from end to end OF the Island
and not find leper. The woman's
hand was withered and she tried to
conceal 1t. We thought Of leprosy
but neither of us had any idea that
the incident to me would loom VI

PULLMANS MUST
 HAVE FRESH AIR

Washington, December, 6.-(Special)- The Pullman Car company will be com pelled by the federal government to sup ply fresh air in cars says pr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist of the agricultural department.
 We have taken samples of the ma terial breathed by sleepers in Pullman cars," declared Dr. Wiley. We are an- alyzing 1t to find out what 1t is. We do not now know. All we do know is that it is not air. We are going to find out also if the company cannot be compelled to allow the occupants of the lower berths the benefit of the entire section when the upper berths are not made up."
 Dr. Wiley has been informed that an other protest against him has been filed with the, President by the dried fruit and molasses men, who objected to his utter ances and writings against the use of sulphurous acid in preserving fruit
 In his bulletins on the preserving of fruits and the manufacture of syrups and molasses, Dr. Wiley pointed out the bad effects of the use of sulphur and insisted that some other process must be used He showed that the experiments in his de- partment prove that sulphur fumes ap- piled to the fruit bring about diseases of the stomach intestines and kidneys and produce a great amount of headache when the fruit is eaten.

RECEIVERSHIP IS
 FINALLY ENDED

Pittsburg, December 6.-The receivers of the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring company and the Securities In- vestment company were discharged in the United States circuit court yesterday by Judge James S. Young. No accounts of the receivers are required to be filed by the order of the court.
 The receivers for the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company, ap- pointed by Judge Ewing, October 23, lsos, were T. H. Given, H. s. A. Stewart and E. M. Herr, while the Fidelity Title and Trust company was appointed receiver for the Securities Investment company upon the same day.
 The petitions for the discharge of the receivers were presented to the court by Attorney George Gordon. A petition in the case of the Westinghous Electric and Manufacturing company was brought by the defendant company and joined In by the plaintiffs in the original equity suit, the readjustment committee of creditors, the merchandise creditors com mittee and the receivers themselves. The consent of the stockholders which had been given at a meeting was also at tached to the petition. The petition for the discharge of the Securities Investment company receiver was brought also by the defendant and joined in by the credi- tors committee.
 The companies were represented by AL torney Gorden as being in sound finan- cial condition, the court being told that the debts of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company had been ar ranged for with the exception of unas- ssenting creditors with claims to the amount of about s7O0, ,O00 who will at once be paid in cash. The company, he stated, has cash on hand amounting to about Slo,- 0O0. .OO0 The cash of the Securities Invest ment company, now on hand, is about Sli'- GOO 900 with unassenting creditors repre- senting only about $l5,OoO.
 Attorney Gordon asked that no account be filed by the receivers, satting that they had reported the condition of the plant from time to time to the company and that the making of accounts would inter fere greatly with the company at thls time. An inventory, he stated, would necessitate the closing down of the works for several days. The assent of the credi- tors and directors of the company to this proyision was made a part of the record.
 Following addresses by Attorneys Lar kin and Gale of New York, who asked that the petitions be granted Judge Young discharged the receivers and or dered that no accounts of the receivers be required.

RUSSIAN REFUGEE
 MUST GO BACK

Chicago, December 6.-Christian Rudo- witz, "a Russian refugee, must go back to Russia to stand trial on charge of murder unless he is saved by the in- tervention of the department of state This decision was clearly indicated by United States Commissioner Foote todey after a hearing lasting over month Rudowitz, although admitting that he was a member of a revolutionary body which "condemned to death" the Kinze family on the ground that they were "spies of the Czar," contended that he did not participate in the murder and claimed the right of asylum in this coun- try as a political refugee. The case has aroused general interest because of the principles involved, the defense claim ing that the extradition of the prisoner would set a precedent for interpreting the Russian-United States extradition treaty unfavorably for many other refugees in this country.
 Commissioner Foote although indicat- ing today what may be expected will not formally give his decision until Mon day.

VETERANS WAIT
 FOR PENSIONS

Atlanta, December 6.-(Special )-Un- less the people of Georgia pay their taxes promptly and the tax collectors make some quick remittances to the state treasurer, 1t will be after Christi mas before the Confederate veterans get their fourth quarterly pension install ment, and there is no doubt about the fact that most of the old veterans are counting on it for their holiday feast
 Pension Commissioner J. ". Lindsey is in daily receipt of letters which read something like this:
 Dear Judge:-My pension is due and unpaid. l am counting on the money for Christmas. Why don't you send out the cheeks. which are already past due2''
 Commissioner Lindsey replies that he is all ready and waiting. He has the vouchers made out and everything checked up so that the work of sending out the checks can begin just as soon as the treasury gets the money. It will take $242,0 900 to make these payments and there is now only s64oO0 in the treasury, including $50,0o0 borrowed money. The school teachers are due something like sS42, ,O00, and it appears that they, too, will have to wait until after Christmas unless the taxpayers of the state get busy early next week and pay in enough money to enable the state promptly to meet these obligations.
 It is, therefore, up to the taxpayer Here Is a chance for the taxpayers of Georgia, collectively to do an act of charity simply by performing a duty which they cannot escape, a few days earlier than the required time
 Unless this money is forthcoming with in the next ten days or two weeks there will be some cheerless hearthstones around about Christmas time.
 The "soulless' corporations might help some and refute that view of them, at least in a measure.
