"TWELVE.DOLLAR-

Immunity Promised
Women

United States District Attorney
Breckons Is still carrying on his in
designations in the matter of import
ing Japanese women for immoral
purposes, and, as result, has un-
earthed new immunity club, SINH
lar to the famous "Ten-Dollar" Club.
This one, however. may be called the
"Twelve-Dollar" Club. II flourished
during the stay of the Atlantic and
Pacific Fleets here, according to
statements that have been made 20
Breckons, by women denizens of Iwi-
lei. On the payment of this sum to
one certain person, whose name
Breckons does not care to divulge at
the present time, immunity from ar
rest was guaranteed.
Later, after the Fleets departed,
the smaller sum of three dollars was
extracted from the women. Who 1t is
that the money has been paid to, the
District Attorney does not care to
state, bat from the. present outlook
It appears that some sensations will
be sprung shortly.
Ten people are under arrest at the
present time, and the Marshal Is
searching for three or four more
whom Breckons has evidence against.

ALASKAN Will SAIL

Journey viii Be Made By
Way Of Magellan
Straits

When the Alaskan sails from Hilo
on January II with a cargo of sugar
for New York. she will inaugurate a
new policy on the part of the Amer
lcan-iIawaiian Company. She will
sail direct to New York through the
Straits of Magellan, instead of dis
charging her cargo at Tehuantepec.
as has been the custom.
The meager facilities of the Tchu-
antepec railway. which handles the
New York cargoes from the time they
are discharged on the Pacific side un-
til they are loaded onto other Amer
ican-fIawaiian ships on the Atlantic
side. make it impossible to care for
all of the sugar with the necessary
expedition. Congrestion of freight
therefore results.
This year the American-Hawaiian
Company will therefore send five
ships in all, carrying total of co.
900 tons of sugar, direct from Hilo
to New York. What ship will fol-
low the Alaskan over the route has
not yet been decided.
The run from Hilo to New York
should be made in fifty-five days II
reasonably good weather is encoun-
tered. The Alaskan will carry 49,
600 tons of sugar.

SICILY AND ITS DISASTER.

The population of the Island of
Sicily in 1901 is given as 3,529,266.
The Province of Messina has a popu-
lation of j4S,S9S and Palermo 1885,
DIG.
With these figures before one, II is
easier to believe in the accuracy of
the figures telling of the great loss of
life from the earthquake and tidal
wave which have wrought one of the
great disasters of history.
Judging from the dispatches, the
region suffering from the earthquake
and swept by the tidal wave includes
the whole northern coast of the ISL
and of Sicily from Messina on the
east to Palermo on the west. The
island lies southwest of the toe" OF
Italy.
The physical features OF the island
are described as follows: A range of
mountains commencing on the north
eastern extremity of the island
stretches across 1t taking the name
first of the Neptunian and then of
the Madonian mountains. The whole
range bears a strong resemblance to
the branch of the Apprentices, which
stretches to the southern extremity
of Italy and strongly countenances
the opinion generally entertained
that It was originally continuous
with 1t and that Sicily consequently
must at some time have beea not an
island but a part of the European
continent.
The most remarkable physical fea-
ture of Sicily and one of the greatest
wonders of the world is Mount Etna,
which is 1854 feet high. Compar-
ed with this all the other SUBMITS
are insignificant, being from 5000 TO
1000 feet high. The sides of the
mountains are covered with magnifi-
cent forests. The rivers and streams
are numerous.
The climate is very mild, hence
the popularity of Sicily for winter
tourists. Much rain falls, usually
commencing in November. and con.
tinuing to fall, at intervals, often In
heavy torrents, till March.
Etna itself and the large circular
space of which it forms the center
extending west to Brente and east t.
the coast over the whole tract that
lies between Catania and Taormina
is covered completely with volcanic
products. Sulphur has been worked
in mines for more than three centur
les and is extensively exported.
Messina, the center OF the earth
quake devastation, has been celebrat
ed since It was first founded and be
came one of the principal cities o
the Greeks.
The proximity to Mount Etna ha
made the section suffering from tn,
recent upheaval subject to frequen
disturbances but not of an especial.
} alarming character. Two causes op
crate to increase the death list. II
European countries the people, II
times OF disaster, rush for tn
churches where they expect the spe
cial protection of Providence. Tn
churches are old, quickly crumble
: and hundreds are killed in the ruins
: The tidal wave which APPARENT
swept along the entire north coas
was also terrible factor in swellin
: The death roll.
