LONG-FORGOTTEN ORCHARD
PRODUCING SPLENDID FRUIT

1t has long been a matter of spirited
discussion-the fitness of Hawaii for
the growth Of deciduous fruits. The

ought to grow here and there is no
reason why they shouldn't, to which

perhaps an acre in extent was planted,
consisting of apples, plums, pears, april

varieties of each, The primaey of Ke'

THE LURE OF LOVE AS A
MEANS OF WINNING VOTES

SPOKANE, Washington, July 21.-
" No vote, no husband,' is the slogan
of two hundred and fifty girls of mar.
riageable age who have just organized
the College Equal Suffrage Club of
Spokane, under the presidency of Mrs
z. w. Comerford. Each has taken a
solemn vow to convert her sutton to
woman's rights before entering upon
an engagement.
The plan to enlist Cupid into the
ranks as an ally was originated by a
half dozen timid members, who, after
several conferences, persuaded Mrs.
Comerford to launch the movement and
recruit the membership to five hundred
before the beginning of September.
This does not mean that the methods
introduced by Mr.. Adam when he first
met Miss Eve are to be barred here,
but that the valiant knight must break
customs instead of lances and gain for
his lady love the privilege to cast her
ballot if he is to have the wealth of
satisfaction in his game of wooing.
"While our members are not going
to be quite as radical as the Chicago
girls,' said Mrs. Comerford, "there
will be absolutely no encouragement
to those who do not believe in the
suffragists' cause. We expect to start
school of conversion. The girls will
not be pledged to refuse a sutton who
is not a suffragist but it is expected
that every member will promise to use
her best endeavors to win the man
for us.
cit is pretty well understood among
those who are in earnest in this cam
paign that the man who is open to
conviction on the matter of equal suf-
frage will be the one who is to en-.
counter the least difficulty in winning
his suit. That, we believe, is one OF
the strong points ia our campaign.
political economy will be another
feature. We intend to take up all the
problems just as men do, and there will
! be debates and discussions at our reg.
ular meetings. 1t may lie that these
will eventually work themselves into
| public meetings and will lie one of the
| factors in suffragists' work in Spokane
and throughout the State of Washing
| ton.
''We have practically all the suffrag
lists in Spokane lined up in the work
and it may be we shall extend the
campaign throughout other parts of the
country, and in this we believe we
have the best plan of conversion that
has yet been devised.
"1n this connection we shall make
an attempt to enlist every unmarried
| girl in Spokane, believing that as Rev
Anna Shaw says, in the young blood
there is strength
elf the young women get into thi!
work, as we believe they will, they viii
be able to convert many more youn!
men than would otherwise come to thu
support of the equal suffrage move
ment. They are willing to risk few
of their chances on the issues, and
know of many who are so sincere the,
will do so without hesitation.'
Miss Alice Brownell, charter mem
Der of the club, said, in the course o
an interview:

parently of excellent quality. The APP
pies were mature enough to be excel
lent for cooking, and an occasional one
ripe enough to eat out of hand. The
commendable quality of them was char.
acter, which is wanting in so much Of
the imported fruit
We were told that it was an off year
comparatively small crop, but the
trees were as full as they could com.
fortably bear. Although unpruned and
uncultivated the trees were thrifty and
healthy, apparently quite free from all
disease.
In addition to these orchard fruits
there were bushels of Logan berries
just beginning to ripen; in fact, the
Logan berry thrives so well, that am
afraid some day it may become a
serious pest in that region. The strik-
ing success of this venture in fruit
growing suggests important possibilities
for thousands of acres on the uplands
of Hawaii and Maui.

A|EA MEN ARE
DRIFTING BACK

Gradually the striking Japanese are
drifting back to Aiea plantation and
applying for their jobs. Several of
the contractors have already returned
to work and they are getting as many
workmen together as they can. In all
only about 100 men nave returned as
yet, but it is confidently expected that
the laborers will show up in increasing
numbers tomorrow.
The strikers are showing no inclina-
ton to interfere with those who have
returned to work and conditions on
the plantations are not such as to cause
any uneasiness on the part Of the Of
ficials.
A report was spread yesterday after
noon to the effect that the small house
which burned down Friday night, was
destroyed by incendiaries, either strik-
ers or persons acting under their di-
rections Manager Ross stated last
! night that there is absolutely no ground
for any such report and that the strik-
ers had nothing to do with it.
As a matter of fact, the house was
inhabited by some strikebreakers who
were having little spree all their own.
| One of them overturned lamp and
the Are resulted. AS one of the occu.
pants was found in an intoxicated con-
dition, the plantation officials did not
have much room for doubt as to the
origin of the fire.
Laborers continue to return to Oahu
plantation, and there will probably be
a pretty good showing when the whistle
blows tomorrow morning. The return
ing contractors have been securing the
country round about and hope to have
many of their old men back in the

The police today still kept in touch

successful attempt of the pair to get
married by a Harlem clergyman. 1t is
said that they were actually married
in the Quaker city and that knowl-

Be Utterly False.

by the police today that Mrs. Edith
May Thompson Woodill, the beautiful

in the bungalow of Robert Emmett

Evidence obtained today also points
conclusively to the fact that no one

present when he killed the girl. The

But there is even more convincing
evidence that the statement in the let
