AILEGTD LEPERS WILL
BE ALLOWED FREEDOM

Honolulu.-Fifty persons OF the lep-
er colony on Molokai island will
probably be allowed to return to civil
lization within a short time by the ex-
amining board of physicians who on
investigation have discovered that the
supposed lepers are not afflicted with
the disease There are SIS outcasts
in the settlement and many of them
hope they. too, will be allowed to re-
turn to the outer world again.
The legislature recently passed a
resolution so framed as to give the
benefit of any doubt to those sup
posed to be victims of the scourge.
They were given the right to apply for
rcexamination whenever it was believ-
ed their cases we're doubtful.
The declaration of the physicians
that so per cent of the first hundred
examined never had leprosy has cre-
ated a big sensation on the island.
The examinations are now being
continued and It is expected that
hundreds of other members of the
colony will apply for reexamination.

Corn opening was at lac decline

character Of the weather that caused
the market to open weaker remained

Market for oats has been depended
upon for some time back to follow
the course of other grains and 1t did
not differ in that respect today, but
as has been its recent custom 1t went
slower in either direction than the
leaders. Trade was very light and
the tone easy
There was no change in the pro-
vision situation except that previous
recent heavy purchases for future de-
livery having excellent profits in their
holdings were making strenuous ef-
forts at the opening to realize. They
crowded their selling to such an ex-
tent that much of their nominal gains
DISAPPEARED in the process.

INDIAN FEUD.
Series of Murders Extending Over 10
Years VIII be StoDned.

Years VIII be StopDed.
San Francisco.-Held under an in
dictment Of murder by the federal au
thorties, James Donnelly, half-breed
Indian, is in the Alameda county Jail.
During recent years a feud has ex-
listed between two factions of Indians
in Humbolt county, during which 10
men, Indians and whites, have met
death by violence. Donnelly Is the
first OF the alleged murders to be
brought to trial. 1t is expected that
others will be arrested by the United
states officers.
The feud was started 10 years ago
when the son of an Indian was accl-
dentally drowned. At the time the lad
was playing with two little Indian
girls. The father demanded that one
Of them be given to him as a slave to
recompense him for the loss of his son.
The demand was refused and a few
days later Jimmie James, the father
was found dead. shot through the
back.
plpWllB JdHltS utdlI' Dllly mar
per, member of the other faction,
was found dead. Several bullet holes
in his back told how he died. Then
followed the murder Of Chickasaw, an
Indian.
On Thanksgiving day. 1908, Bert
Porter, a white man. was killed at La
goon and the next morning Jose Vier-
ra. a Portuguese, met like fate at
the hands OF the mountain gun men.
Oscar Chapman. storekeeper at
klamath, was found dead on Decem-
Der 16 Of the same year. His body
was riddled with bullets
While investigating the numerous
murders in the wild mountains, De-
putty United states Marshal Prentice Of
Eureka found Donnelly. He subpoe1
naed him to appear as a witness with
five other Indians. and upon Dom
nelly's arrival here placed him under
arrest

strests Of the world metropolis, car

have been reduced to the tragedy Of
seeing their families starving before
their eyes
The return of the amount of un-

Body is certainly most appalling, es-
pecially as coming on the eve of short
days and winter weather. The re-
turns are valuable as enabling Eng
lishment to look the matter in the
face. The total numbers of men
placed on the registers Of the Lon
don boroughs in a space of nine days
amounts to 1854, and of this num-
Der Camberwell and Poplar claim

the various applicants the tales told
by some of them are simply heart
rending, because they reveal quite
new class of men out of work to that
generally associated with the unem-
ployed, who seem to be always in
that state and who 40 not care par
ticularly so long as they can get food,

to are respectable artisans, who one

work for them in their old shops
These men, with their families, have
kept on hoping against hope. parting
with this piece of furniture or that
article of clothing, until at last they
have had to entirely clear out their
homes, leaving themselves stranded
wretched and poverty-stricken.

Washington.-An invasion of the

be one of the newest moves designed
for the religious, moral and sanitary
uplift Of the national capital. Nu-
merous descents upon such homes are

Upon these tours, 1t is even said.
newspapermen will be taken. The
purpose apparently IS to inform the
public of such conditions as may be
found to exist. Reports, too, will be
made to the judge of the juvenile
court. 81 don't believe that as gen.
eral thing we will find conditions
very bad, but I am confident that
what we do discover will prove val

Little thought is given at the present
time to the immortality engendered

FRESHMAN TIED TO
RAILS OF TRACK

Seattle.-A special dispatch to the
University of Washington Daily from
Edmonds, Wash, says:
Reuben Hunter, a freshman at the
local high school, is today confined
to his room suffering from nervous
shock following his release from the
railroad track where he had been
bound by three unknown men.
Hunter was called from his home
at about 10 o'clock at night by a man
who asked him to lead the way to the
beach. Outside of the yard they were
met by two more men and the three
then bound the boy hand and foot and
tied him to the rails. He was releas-
ed two hours later by a track walker.
Saturday noon a note was left at
Hunters door telling him to leave
town. He paid no attention to the
note, thinking It a school boy joke.
He is sure, however. that the men
who captured him were not students
The sheriff is today investigating
the case.

DELUGE OF CATTLE
WEAKENS PRICES
LARGE ARRIVALS
FLOOD THE MARKET
Shippers Should Hold Back Stock or
Market VIII Go TO Pieces-Values
Are Down from csc TO 50c-Hog
Market Steady-other Lines Light
in Arrivals.

Union Stockyards, Oct. 30.-The
cattle market will go to pieces unless
shippers hold back their stock until
the large herds now crowding the
corrals Of the yards have been dis
posed Of. This was discovered yes
terday when buyers got filled up to
the limit and would not consider fur
ther offers. Those hoping to find re-
lief in the small butcher will find
themselves mistaken for they have
all stocked up so heavily during the
week that there will be no use talk
ing cattle TO them for several days.
The corrals at the yards today were
filled. Friday they were so crowded
with cattle that large herd had to
be turned out on the slough for pas
ture and tomorrow 1t is understood
several shipments will arrive to take
the places Of the head that were ship
ped out today Thus 1t will be seen
tha TO ship in at this time will only
result in financial loss, both to the
individual shipper and the cattle mar
ket in general. If shipments are held
back a few days the market will have
a chance to recuperate and then
prices that prevailed during the early
part OF this week will again be OBJ
tainable, for with ordinary receipts,
the yards can be kept well cleaned
up from day to day.
As a result OF the heavy influx Of
cattle. values dropped Friday from rs
to so cents and today the top price
was 1926 for cows in good condition,
with S4 the top price for steers, "a
head averaging 1869 pounds, bringing
that price.
The hog market is steady, with a
good demand for first class stock but
shippers are advised not to rush in
with poor stock as receipts Of that
kind have been quite liberal during
the week.
Hogs reached a high price this
week in that two lots sold for $50,
the highest price paid at the yards
for some time. Two other lots were
disposed of for SSto. This went TO
show that there are always buyers
willing to pay good prices for the
choice stock, and it Will probably set
some of the hog raisers to thinking
along that line more than they have
been doing in the past.
The receipt Of calves was light this
week, and those that came in were
rapidly picked up. The same can be
said OF sheep and lambs, receipts of
which were light.
The following is the general range
OF livestock values in the yards:
Cattle-Best steers, weighing 1900
pounds S4.945O; medium steers. 81;
best cows $S.25@3.50; medium cows.
SSM3.25 best heifers, $3.5O; bulls,
$1.75a225.
Hogs-Best east of mountains,
$50; Willamette valley best, $7.75Q
1855; stockers, s496; piks, s6Q7'
Sheep-Best wethers, S4.25; ordi-
nary 81; spring lambs, S5q5'5O;

him in a suicide pact, Van Lewis
Geiger, said to be a member of a
prominent Denver family, is dead to-

shipments from this port as over half
n million bushels more than that OF
