TAFT TO PROBE
CUSTOMS FRAUDS
Will Have Talk Tomorrow With
Loeb, MacVeagh and
Wickersham.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, November e.
President Taft, William Loeb Jr., col
lector of the port of New York, Secre-
tary of the Treasury MacVeagh and At
torney General Wickersham will hold a
conference tomorrow to decide upon
further action in connection with the
customs frauds that have been unearth-
ed by Loeb.
Loeb is still actively engaged in run
ing down those who have been connect
ed with the gigantic frauds against the
government. Since he began his inves-
legations, over two hundred members
of the customs force at New York have
been discharged from the service for
completely in the frauds and large
number of indictments have been re-
turned by the grand jury.
President Taft and his subordinates
intend to make thorough Investigation
of the whole conspiracy to defraud the
government. This will take in not only
the illegal actions of the customs en-
ployes, but the completely of the big
sugar men of the East who have been
cheating the government by short
weighing their sugar imports.

MUNITIONS OF WAR
CAME ON HYADES

Hundreds of explosive shells for the
batteries of field and siege guns stored
at Fort Ruger until the government
designates men to handle them, were
received here yesterday aboard the
Matson steamer Hyades. The shells
are of the projectile class, each one
being heavy and sharply pointed. The
steamer Helene brought large guam
tity from San Francisco during the
week. The receipt of so much ammu-
milton for guns which are not yet
mounted, and which are unnamed,
presages an early order from the war
department directing regiment of
field artillery for station in the Is
lands.
The hay famine at Schofeld Bar
racks was also relieved by the arrival
of the Hyades, as about 5000 bales ar
tie shy on hay, but, of course, the
horses did not 60 hungry, the deficit
in supply being furnished from other
sources.
Great poles consigned to the Rapid
Transit company arrived, and are be-
lieved to be the consignment designed
to carry the overhead wire to Pearl
Harbor on the next extension from
town. About 100000 feet of lumber,
composed largely of heavy sawed tim
bers, formed part of the deck cargo.
The deck was heavily loaded with lum-
Der and poles.
The Hyades cargo comprises over
5000 tons of general merchandise. On
the after deck she brought some val
liable livestock. There were two great,
handsome German coach horses, one for
A. w. Carter and the other for H. p.
Baldwin on Maui. There was also con-
signment of Polled-Angus stock, some
of which were taken out to Damon 3
ranch. Doctor Norgaard, the govern
ment inspector of animals, pronounced
the entire lot the finest he had seen
imported here.
The Hyades' new first mate is Cap
tain Bennett, who formerly ran as
first mate on Inter-Island boats.

WARSHlPs ORDERED TO SAIL
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, November 22.-Sec-
rotary of State Knox has announced
that a demand has been made upon
Nicaragua for reparation for the kill
ing of the two Americans, Cannon and
Grace, who were shot last Thursday
along with five hundred other prisoners
killed by order of President Zelaya.
The government does not intend to

tas reparation for death can be made,
or take the consequences, which prom

Prompt and effective steps are be-
ing taken to enforce the demand made
upon President Zelaya by Secretary
Knox, who is acting in accordance with
the attitude taken by President Taft.
The cruiser Buffalo has been ordered
to proceed Immediately from Magda.

SOLDIERS IN
REAL BATTLE
Double Frontal Attack Results in
Capture of Both the
BelIigerentS.

By direction of Col. Walter c. Schuy-
Ter, Fifth Cavalry, commanding the post
at Schofeld Barracks, Capt., William D.
Forsyth and Capt. Walter B. Scales,
troop commanders, have been placed
under arrest and in close confinement to
their quarters.
The news that these two popular of!
fcers were in trouble and under the
official displeasure of their commanding
officer reached town a day or two ago,
but the real cause of their suspension
from duty came little later.
On Friday both officers, with others,
were lounging in the officers mess club,
where officers off duty generally spend
much of their leisure-a cozy, attrac-
tive clubhouse, where town guests have
been entertained and where the congress
sional party had luncheon during their
visit at the post several months ago.
A disagreement arose between Captain
Forsyth and Captain Scales, just what
the cause was, has not been explained
SO far, and before brother officers could
interfere blow had been struck and the
two men were engaged in a fstic en-
counter which is said to have been fast
and furious. The battle ragged, and as
both are big and strong men, with hard
muscles trained for encounters, each
landed, until finally brother officers
jumped in and parted the combatants.
Naturally, the matter came to the at
tention of their superior officer, who,
after hearing of the alteration, placed
them both under technical arrest.
Captain Forsyth, who is now a troop
commander, was regimental adjutant
when the regiment arrived last January
from Fort Huachuca. He was relieved
by Captain Sturges, the present adju-
tant. Captain Scales is a troop com
mander, AT West Point he was a foot
ball player and all round athlete.
