AUTHORIZES AND THE
DAUGHTER OF 4 LORD

A very interesting passenger pass
ing through on the Korea yesterday
was Mrs. E. ]. Sugimoto, daughter of
noble family of Japan, and author
of the ''Sugimoto Letters She is
the wife of prominent merchant of
Cincinnati and a close friend of Mrs.
William II. Taft.
She is returning to fher native land
after a ten years sojourn in Cincin-
natl with her two American born
daughters. She expects to place her
children in Japanese schools for two
years and to spend her time mean
while in the collection of illustrations
and data for literary work on Japa-
nese folklore and fairy tales, which is
almost complete.
Mrs. Sugimoto father, the late
Lord Inagaki of the castle of Maya
Okla, in Echige province, was the ruler
of that district under the old regime,
but at the time of the revolution in
1866 was deprived of his Office and
most of his wealth. He then became
one of the Progressive party, which
welcomed the advent of the new CIV
ilizatioR.
She was educated by an English gov
erness, and ten years ago came to
America to marry Matsunosuke Sugi-
motto, to whom she had been betrothed
when a. child, according to Japanese
custom. Six years ago she began a
series of articles, which were published
throughout the country, and were
known as the "Sugimoto Letters. /"
At that time she began the writing
of the quaint folklore tales of her ma
tive land. By telling these stories at
small gatherings she has won many
friends and admirers in Cincinnati, and
in the compilation of the work for pub
LEGATION she has been assisted by Miss
Florence Wilson, well-known writer
of that city.
''The folklore tales of any country
so fully convey a true idea of the
traits and characteristics of its peo-
ple," said Mrs. Sugimoto, "that have
felt it my duty, as well as a great
pleasure, to give them to my American
friends in their original and authentic
form. So many such tales have been
told in public print that are not cor
rect and that do not give the true
japanese point of view. The two
countries are growing gradually closer
to one another in every way, and my
American friends have urged me to
undertake this work, which / have ac-
cepted as a mission, which / am very
glad to perform.

ANOTHER AUTO
ACCIDENT REPORTED

An automobile, number not ascer
tanned, is reported to have knocked
down a Portuguese at the junction OF
Alakea and King streets on Saturday
night The Portuguese was badly
bruised and shaken up, but the auto
sped on without the occupants making
any effort to learn the condition of
their victim.
The police are considering the prop
osition of compelling every automobile
owner or driver to use tail light on
the machine, in such a position that
the clear light viii shine directly upon
the number. The ordinance states that
the number shall be placed at the rear
of the machine and so placed that it
may be easily seen cat all times" As
at night the number can not be seen
unless light is flashed across its face,
the necessity for a tail light is ap-
parent.
Mainland cities require tail lights
for two reasons-frst, to make the
number discernable at night, and, sec
ond, to show the red danger light from
the same lamp.
Several automobile owners are dis
regarding the law relative to the size
and style of the numbers. These must
be three inches in height, and must
be white on a black ground. Several
owners have had numbers painted on
the rear of the machines, using black
letters, the background in some cases
being red, or gray. The police will re-
quire all to have the numbers of a
uniform height and color.

for another distinguished Republican
defendant s removal. National Commit
j teeman Charles r. BROKER, of Ansonia,
Conn, member of the executive com
mlttee who is on duty at the New York
headquarters and is one of the strong
spokes in the Republican wheel, is vice
president of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, against which
an antitrust suit is pending. Then
there is National Republican Treasurer
Sheldon, who is a director in some
twenty powerful corporations, a part of
them trusts. Mr.. Bryan has been gently
; suggesting that Mr.. Sheldon was a nice
man to pass the hat and secure contri-
buttons from the officials of big cor
porations. There are more and it is
even expected that Mr.. Bryan will
eventually begin to level guns at Rep

of an ice trust at his home of Utica
and who has had some associations with

made some speeches in New York city
and New JERSEY and is soon to under

through the middle West. Mr.. Sher-
man s activity as an orator wi be
directed largely against Bryan and
there is little doubt that he will draw
Bryan IS fire. Such charges enable Mr..
Bryan to keep away from his own rec
ord on which Mr.. Taft is now striving
to focus public attention As an orator
and stumper Mr.. Sherman has shown
in more than one campaign that he IS
very well able to take care of himself.
He may not rate Bryan in this cam
paign but it is hardly probable that MI
Sherman is afraid of what Mr.. Bryan
may say about him and his corporation
connections If there comes q Bryan
Sherman exchange, as seems entirely
probable, the Republican nominee for
the Vice Presidency will be able TO
handle his case alone.
Although he has been doing it very
quietly Vice Presidential Nominee John
W. Kern has been campaigning quite
extensively and quite effectively. He
has been stumping Maryland, where he
is credited with having made very

MUSTY OLD DEED
COMES To LIGHT
Curious Train of Circumstances
Leads to Its Being
Filed.

A fifty year old deed was fled for
record yesterday with Recorder Mer-
ram as the result of curious train
of circumstances.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Rabbit has been having the titles to
all school property looked over during
the past few months and the title deeds
arranged and indexed so that exact
knowledge of all property belonging
to the department would be immediate
" available. In the course of this work
deed was found from D. H. Hitchcock
to Richard Armstrong, who was for a
number of years at the head of the
department, to about forty-four acres
of land in Manoa valley. The deed was
to Armstrong in his own name but the
fact that the deed was in the records
of the department indicated that he
had held the property for the depart
ment.
At the request of the department
Registrar Merriam made search of the
TtCOIuS LUZ any nACO VI 6nlo ldA0
from the department, and none was
found. The record therefore Indicated
that the property still belonged to the
school department. On going on the
land, however, which is far up in Ma
noa valley, it was found that it was in
the possession of lessees claiming by
lease from John Ena, who In turn
claimed by lease from the Catholic
Bishop. The Catholic Bishop was COM
municated with, and after search
among the documents and records of
the Catholic Mission the deed fled yes
terday was found.
This deed is from Richard Armstrong,
President of the Kings Board of Edu-
cation, to Louis Maigret, and is dated
April 20, 1857. 1t sets out that this
land was conveyed to Richard Arm
strong, President of the Board of Edu
cation, by two separate mortgages and
by a deed from d. II. Hitchcock, and
that he conveyed it to Louis Maigret IN
of $221.95.
The deed is acknowledged before
Thomas Brown, Deputy Registrar of
Conveyances, and it is probable that
this is the reason it was never filed for
record, the acknowledgment being care
lessly mistaken for a certificate of
record.

CAMPAIGN IS PERSONAL

aker flung his way, although it made
the candidate execute an agile side
step or two Mr.. Bryan has hardly
been hurt in his own reputation for IN
tegrity and honesty of purpose by the
mud President Roosevelt has flung III
his direction, although the President
NAV have been able to call back some
Westerners who were trouping to the
BRYAN colors. Neither can anyone tell
when the thing is going to end.
OF course, one result has been to put
Taft and Foraker at swords points.
The dove of peace that brooded over
Army. when Taft and Foraker were
brought together, has flown out OF
sight into the cerulean blue. The Re-
publicans would like to recall the pic
lures of those two standing together
in harmony, which were widely dis
tributed. The Senator, driven to bay,
has spoken out about the Brownsville
affair and done something to smash the
arrangements, made after hard effort,
to keep the colored friend and brother
solidly in the Taft ranks ON election
dav. The Senator had to do that be-
cause Roosevelt took hard fling at
the Brownsville case in his prOnuncia-
mento against Foraker, and in his eff
fort, through the publication of let
ter that Mr.. Taft wrote in 1907 to Mr..
A. |. Vorys, to show that Taft never
did trust Foraker and wanted no ALI
ance with him in Ohio.
One might go on describing the pc
culiar ramificati0ns of the week S polltl-
cal developments. They all sprung
from William Randolph Hearst s publ
cation of letters from John d. Arch
bold. of the Standard Oil Company,
bearing upon divers men in public life,
notably Senator Foraker and Governor
Haskell. and from President Roose-
velt's zeal to strike Senator Foraker
even though, as Mr.. Taft announces,
Foraker was down, and also through
the President s zeal to get the Demo
Gratis mixed up in the troubles and to
range BRYAN and Haskell along with
Taft and Foraker.
Hearst probably has more letters.
How he obtained them from the Stan
dard Oil Company is something of a
mystery. 1t has been charged that he
bought them from some faithless clerk
1t has been charged also that Col.
James NJ Guffey, of Pennsylvania, a
Standard Oil man whom the Nebraskan
threw out of the Denver convention,
has been seeking revenge and that he
caused the letters to be given out
through Hearst. That does not sound
altogether probable. The history of the
letters is yet to be learned. Most of
them are old. In some eases the date
has been omitted, apparently not by
inadvertenee The correspondence with
Senator Foraker in 1902 antedated the
time when Taft was asking the Presi-
dent to nominate a Standard Oil at
torney in Ohio as Federal Judge.
Ex-senator McLaurin, of South Caro-
lima. and ex-Representatiye Joseph G..
Sibley of Pennsylvania, are among the
men whose names have figured in the
Hearst letters McLaurin was a Demo
crat whom Senator Tillman and others
drove from public life. In the closing
years of his service in the Senate, ne
was the Republican referee in his State

for the distribution of Republican pat
ronage under Mckinley and Roosevelt.
! Sibley was formerly a Democrat. There
was talk of him for vice president on
| the ticket with Bryan in 1896 but soon
after that campaign Mr.. Sibley turned
| his coat. After he had served while
as a Democratic Representative in Con-
gress he became a Republican and the
same district elected him to the fol
| lowing House as a Republican.
Hearst promises more letters as the
campaign progresses and that keeps the
politicians of both parties uneasy. He
claims to be doing this for the benefit
of the independence party candidates
for President and Vice President. Mr..
Hisgen, who is Mr.. Hearst s presiden-
tial candidate, is running largely as a
man who has fought the Standard Oil
Company successfully in New England.
So the Standard Oil letters are particu-
larly grist to Mr.. Hearst IS political
mill. However, he is plainly doing his
utmost in every way to turn the cam
paign against the Standard Oil to the
discontinue of the Democrats. He ig-
nores in his speeches and also in his
newspapers the Republican aspects of
the disclosures and thunders away
against Bryan, for whom there is no
invective too strong to please Mr..
Hearst.
The Republicans are delighted at this
and it was long said among the leaders
that Hearst was proving the best ally
of their campaign, as good a help as
the Palmer and Buckner ticket were in
1896. But for some reasons the Repub-
j II.
with Hearst, whatever it may be, ex-
plotted and therefore some of the Demo-
| cratic leaders have been taking it up.
Gov. Haskell in his retorts to the
President, some of which have been
couched in the plainest kind of Ian
guage, reminds him of his alliance with
Hearst whom two years ago the Presi-
dent denounced in the most fiery terms
as responsible for the assassination of
Mckinley Some of Hearst s friends in
Washington are Dragging now that the
President called Hearst up by long dis
lance telephone the other day and asked
for help in getting evidence that would
further discredit Haskell.
With AL this who shall say that the
campaign is lacking in gaiety or ginger
or whatever else one may wish to men
| ton that is kindred to "hOt stuff
Is there lethargya No, not among those
voters, certainly, who read the news
papers and who even stop to glance at
the first page headings. These have
been leaping into type of tremendous
size, stretching clear across the column
and plainly screaming to all beholders
to wake up and note what the big
people in the campaign of the two ma
tional parties are doing, 1t may not
have walked all the people up. Prob
ably some are doing yet, dreaming how
Taft can be elected, without anybody
turning a wheel. But the President has
given most of the country an awaken
ing in his few days residence in the
White House.
With the house cleaning there has
been in both parties, as a result of the
Hearst letters and of Mr.. Bryan s at
tack earlier in the summer, it is prob

College Forestry Courses.
By w. G. M. Stone.

There is a measure before both
houses Of Congress of much impor-
tance to the agricultural colleges
throughout the country. 1t proposes
to all state institutions of this charac-
ter the sum of $1,000 annually, for GER
tain forestry education, one-half for
direct education, and the other half
for experimentation.
Such a law would be Of inestimable
benefit from Maine to California. In
Its application great differences would
appear on account of widely differ
Ing conditions; for example, its ad-
ministration on the denuded and
eroded hills Of the Ohio and its trib-
utaries would bear but little resem:
blance to its operations in Kansas or
Colorado. In this respect each state
would be an experiment unto itself,
and every state in the Union would be
infinitely benefited by an intelligent
application Of its provisions. Copies of
the bill can be had by addressing the
