RADIO, propelled by her own power,
backed from tie grounding on the
beach near Liplip Point, Puget
Sound, where she had poked her bow
between the monster boulders, ex-
actly seven hours before. Captain
Underwood, commanding the cruiser,
estimates the damage is to the hull
alone and that the only harm done
was springing of the plate bolts on
starboard bow. The vessel made a
small quantity of water in the for
ward compartments, but at no time
was there any worry for fear she
would not be foated at arrival OF the
evening high tide.

to be appointed and will hear the tes-
timony concerning the accident and
fix the responsibility.

American Methods.

MANILA, Aug. l5.-The local po
lice have discovered that copies OF the
official ballots used in the recent mu-
nicipal election in this city were sto-
len prior to the election and used in
an illegal manner at the polls. The

used chief to make certain Of the
manner in which the supporters Of
certain candidates voted.
II is expected that the election will
be contested which will permit the
opening Of the ballot boxes in order
that an examination OF the handwrit-
ing on the ballots may be made.
Many protests against the seating

Kermit Roosevelt Will Do the
Picture Stunt
FOR AFRICAN EXPEDITION
Right Bower of His Father on the
Great Trip For Big Game-Now
Studying To Make Good-Camera
to Have Powerful Lenses.

NEW YORK, Aug. l5.-Kermit
Roosevelt is to be the official photo
grapher with the Presidents party on
the African hunting trip. In prepara
ton for this important work the
young man is studying with Frank
NJ Chapman, the ornithologist of this
city.
The responsibility which will rest
on Kermit's shoulders will be heavy
for all his fathers accounts Of his ad-
ventures in the jungles of the dark
continent are to be illustrated. 1t is
also understood that the President is
enxious to bring back photographs
of rare African birds and other ami
mails taken in life, for the big mu-
seums, including the Smithsonian In
stitute at Washington and the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History here
The President was anxious to have
Mr.. Chapman accompany him, but
when this was found to be impossible
it was decided Kermit should get a
complete camera outfit and be train
ed in its use by Mr.. Chapman,
Mr.. Chapman has long been friend
Of the President He is associate Gu
rator of the Department of Ormithol-
ogy OF the museum of natural history
and has made study of the photo
graphing of birds and animals,
The question now under considera-
tion by Kermit and Mr.. Chapman is
the best kind of Photographic outfit
to take. 1t is expected that the ca
mera alone, with the several lenses,
including powerful long range
lense, will cost about $3.50, He will

is not unlikely that a taxidermist Of
either the American museum of nat

to prepare the skins of the big game
which the President manages to kill.

the preparation by each commission
|of its answer to the requests OF the

The principal requests made by the
American commissioners has been a
reduction in the burdensome restric-
tons on the entrance Of American

have made export trade to France
practically impossible, and that the
French encourage the expectation Of
-four to that country under conditions

orous pure food laws in the United

and interpreted so narrowly that this
course might result in practically
the American market to
French products.

Harvey were disembarking from
their boat and opened fire on him.
Annis attempted to get behind Har-

TAFT ON THE JOB.
Is Again Secretary of War - Busily
Engaged With Wright,

HOT SPRINGS, Aug. 15.-Judge
Taft was secretary of war again to-
day, at least to the extent of finding
himself deeply engrossed with his
successor, Luke E. Wright in abb
sorbing question Of PHILIPPINES, Cuba,
and Panama as we'll as innumerable
odds and ends of the war Office where
only few except himself know
the history. Taft explained that at
present there will not be added to
the machinery of the Philippines at
present department of agriculture
which the president has power to
create Establishment of FIVE de-
partments, executive, commerce and
police, interior, public instruction and
finance and justice is regarded as ac-
complishment towards self govern
ment, sufficient for the present and
the president will be so informed by
General Wright. The decision is
based on the objection to increasing
the cost of the Philippine govern
ment.
Taft admitted today that he had
received number of letters from
residents of New York State, with
out exception urging the re-nomina-
ton OF Governor Hughes. Taft said
the writer's were mostly unknown to
him and undoubtedly addressed him
because he was the presidential can
didate Of the party He had taken no
position in the contest, he said and
should not interfere in any way None
of the letters, he said, were from po-
litical leaders.

GROWING CHINESE MAT
RUSH OFFERS INDUCEMENTS

Director Wilcox of the Federal Ex-
pertinent Station, although he has been
here but short while, has already made
up his Tind that there is one industry
awaiting development which has so far
been overlooked by the public. This is
the growing of Chinese mat rush and
the weaving up of the product in the
Islands for export.
A sample of this growth, which was
grown experimentally at the station, is
now on exhibition in the rooms of the
Promotion Committee. 1t is split and
cured ready for weaving. The rush
shown is over four feet long, and il
pliable and of good color.
There is a big demand for the mat
tings made from this fiber in the United
States, and according to Director viii
cox it can be grown most successfully
in Hawaii, and in marsh land that il
too saline for rice and which at the

present time lies idle. 1t will grow
anywhere that tule will, and its COM
mereial value, based on five-foot
stalk, runs from $50 to $25 ton.
The yield per acre in Hawaii, accord
ing to the experiments made, is from
1900 pounds of dried rush to 5000
pounds, according to the length of the
stalk, while one beauty about its cul-
tivation is that care pays in two ways,
the longer the stalk the greater the
tonnage and the higher the price per
ton.
The weaving of mating from the Chi
nese rush, the scientific name for which
is Cyperus tegetiformis, ID simple art,
and something that requires no very
elaborate machinery, while the market
for the mating is a large one. Even
in supplying the home demand in Ha-

good field for small industry.
