ONION SHIPMENTS
CONTINUE LIVELY
Mamie Truckers Jnbilant Over
Results At That Place.
Ed. Dustin Has Shipped 90 Cars and
Will Ship About 90 Cars From
100 Acres. Sold at Less
Than 81 Crate.

Onions by the carload still con-
tinue to roll out of the little new
town of Mamie, in Hidalgo coun-
ty, at a very lively rate. Ed. Dus-
tin, the noted onion grower, who
came in last night from his big
onion farm near that station, re-
ports the truckers in his section as
jubilant over the truck prospects.
In the past four weeks, Mr.. Dus-
tin has shipped sixty-three carloads
of onions from his place, and says
he expects to ship about ninety
cars from his 100 acre farm. The
onions are of the finest Bermuda
variety, and the price has ranged
from 81 to 81 so crate, none go
ing below the dollar mark. and the
greater part going boye it. Most
of these shipments. Mr.. Dustin
said, were sold for spot cash, f. C.
b. at Mamie.
Besides the onion shipments
which are being rushed out daily,
the truckers around Mamie are alse
sending out many carloads of
string beans, which have proven a
very profitable crop. Cucumbers
are also making a showing, many
a bushel having already gone
northward to market. There is a
considerable acreage of this vege-
table TO be marketed.
ONIONS FROM THEIR OPoINTs.
Donna, the shipping point for
the Run truck colony, and Fran
cisco, the shipping point for the
Santa Maria planters, are also con-
tributing their full quota to the
onion markets. The exact number
of carloads shipped so far from
these points is not yet reported,
but it has already been consider
arble. The yielo in these sections
has been very gratifying.
At Rur., E. A. Mcdaniel claims
to have the banner yield of Ber-
muda onions. OFF a measured half
acre of his farm, he has harvested
442 ffty-pound crates of the finest
Bermuda onions, and says that his
entire patch will average at least
700 crates per acre.
At Donna, a German farmer,
Mr.. Fendric, recently gathered
from a single row sixty feet long.
a little over two crates ofB ermuda
onions of the same size as the

MARINE

There are numerous people in Homo
lulu disappointed in the matter of con-
templated transportation to Vancouver
and Victoria, for the Manuka, one of
the finest vessels at present passing this
way between Canada and Australia,
will arrive here on Wednesday next
from the Colonies with accommoda-
tons 10 spare for but two cabin and
two steerage passengers 1t is sug-
gested that the fact that the Manuka
is crowded means that many may be
en- route to the scenes of the gather
ing of vessels Of the American fleet,
but the fact that transportation be-
tween Australia and Canada is limit
ed to so few boats is more likely the
explanation
Yesterday morning Theo. H. Davies
& Co. local agents for the line, re-
eeived a cable to the effect that the
Manuka had left Fiji on time and
would be here according to schedule.
The cablegram also revealed the stu
alton in regard to passenger accom-
modations from this port
The Manuka is looked for early
Wednesday morning next and is ex-
pected TO sail for Vancouver and Vic
toria in the evening of the same day.

NEW ROUTE TO
APPELLATE COURT

Judge Dole yesterday afternoon en-
tered an order admitting John Marks
to bail on giving bond of $1,000 with
sureties approved by the court.
This decision and the previous one
of Judge Dole allowing Marks an ap-
peal from his decision denying his
discharge by writ of habeas corpus.
points out new way of appeal from
sentences of conviction in the Circuit
Court
Marks was convicted in the Circuit
Court before Judge Lindsay of steal
ing horse from the Leilehua ranch
and was sentenced TO FIVE years i'm
prisonment. Instead of appealing from
that sentence to the Supreme Court Of
the Territory. Marks petitioned for a
writ of habeas corpus in the United
States District Court. claiming that he
had been deprived of his constitution
al right OF compulsory process to Sc
cure the attendance of witnesses in
iltS UStldli- were OlnSr dlltSd-
tons of denial OF constitutional right.
Judge Dole refused to discharge Marks
on habeas corpus, but allowed an ap-
peal from this decision to the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals in Cal
ifornia.
The proceeding heard yesterday af-
ternoon was to have bail fixed and
permit his release on giving it, The
Territory was represented by Deputy
Attorney General Larnach. who argued
that as Marks had not exhausted his
remedy by appeal in the Territorial
courts it could not be said that he had
been deprived of any of his constitu-
tional rights, as it was to be presum-
ed that if there were errors committed
in his trial before Judge Lindsay.
new trial would be granted him by the
Supreme Court.
Judge Dole held that while it SEEM
ed 70 be pretty we'll established that a
defendant must exhaust his remedy in
the State courts before he could ask
the Federal courts for relief by habeas
corpus, there was no precedent for as
Stunning that the rule applied to the
NouA - VI I1oNdils NlAANh eiiC AAOl GleAlC
courts. He therefore decided to admit
Marks to bail, pending the determine
ton OF his appeal to the Circuit Court
of Appeals.
There are several other indictments
against Marks, among them one for
perjury. Marks was called as a wit
ness before the grand jury, and there
gave testimony which led to the in
dictment of another for cattle steal
ing. But on the witness stand he went
back entirely on his testimony before
the grand jury.
Marks is a cowboy, and there seems
to have been effort made to get him
out of jail far beyond what it would
be expected for one in his financial
and social station. There is a belief
that the effort is not being made so
much on his account as on that of
others.

CHRONIC
STOMACH
TROUBLE
Another Case in Which the Tonic
Treatment Was Successful
After Other Methods
Had Failed.

A very delicate stomach requires
easily digested food, but nature never
intended that the food should be di-
gested before il is eaten. The stomach
must be strengthened to perform its
own work and what II needs is not
food already digested. but a tonic The
processes of digestion are controlled
by the blood and nerves, and medical
science has produced no better diges-
tive tonic than DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. This is shown by the statement
of Mrs. Amos Rogers, the wife OF a
prosperous farmer, of Sycamore, De-
Kalb county, III. She says:
II was a sufferer with stomach
trouble for many years and was only
able to eat liquid food. 1 tried all
kinds of medicines and the most skill
full doctors, but they did not help me.
One doctor said 1 had cancer of the
stomach; another ulcers, and others
said it was my heart.
During a visit TO relatives at OK
ford, \. Y. was surprised to find the
great benefit they had received from
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and began TO take them myself. AT
the end Of a few weeks I was eating
solid food and continued to improve
until cured. 1 had forgotten what re-
freshing sleep was until after using
the pills, but now I sleep we'll every
night. My general health has been
good and 1 always keep DR.. Williams
Pink Pills in the house"
The pills are guaranteed to be safe
and harmless to the most delicate con-
stitution. They contain no morphine,
opiate, narcotic nor anything TO cause
a drug habit. They do not act on the
bowels, but they actually make new
blood and strengthen the nerves. II
you want good health you must have
good blood.
