Young Girls Sentenced.
Sarah Lucas and Alice Carter Sent
to Industrial School For Rest
of Their Minority. A
Young Criminal In
Jail.

That the police and states attorney are
determined to stop the downward career
of young girls in this village is evidenced
Week before last Laura Massey was SEN
fenced to the Industrial school for the
remainder of her minority and last week
Sarah Lucas and Alice Carter were given
similar sentence and were taken to Yer
gennes on Monday by Deputy Sheriff
Hartman. The charge against these
girls was truancv, but their conviction
and sentence to Vergennes were largely
an effort at rescue work on the part of
the officials.
The girls had each of them got beyond
the control of her parents and were
making themselves notorious about the
streets at night Several young men
older than the girls have been involved
in the scandal but SO far have eluded ar
rest although the officers have them I'M
der surveillance. The officers are still on
the alert and will if possible bring other
guilty parties to justice.
Chief Hall in speaking of this work of
suppressing lawlessness and protecting
young girls said he felt lack of cooper
alton on the part of citizens that he had
while doing duty in De Kalb, III. There
the women of the city formed club to
aid in the rescue work and protection Of
young girls. Here but one woman has
volunteered any service, Miss Ida Kahlo,
the deaconess, has been to the chief to
learn the names Of the girls parents and
is trying through them to keep the chill
dren from further wrong. The chief feels
there is an opportunity for more women
to join in this work with the parents and
more effectively protect the young girls
than it is possible for the officers of the
law to do.

ADJUTANT GENERAL
JONES At WASHINGTON

Washington Post.--The business sit
uation in the, Hawaiian Islands is i'm
proving, according to Adjt. Gen. J. w.
Jones, of Honolulu, who is at the Shore
ham.
"The increase of the garrisons of the
islands, said Gen. Jones, s.has contrib
uted much to the improved tone in bust
ness. Soldiers are spenders, and the
communities where they are stationed
are the recipients of their hberality.
''The strike of the japanese planta-
ton laborers has entirely failed. There
was no political significance attached
to it. The japanese strike leader in
stigated the strike for purely selfish
reasons. AS soon as his scheme was
exposed the strike collapsed, and the
strikers went back to their places.
think if man on plantation receives
$23 a month, including free house,
wood and medical attendance, he is
earning nice income and ought to be
satisfied.
s'The Japanese laborers in Hawaii
did not gain anything by their strike"
said Col. Jones. "When I left there
On August 4, conditions were practical
" normal. The Japanese had nearly
all returned to work at the old scale
of wages, and there was no apprehen-
sion of any further trouble. The strike
was instigated by professional agita-
tors, who had no other object in view
than to profit themselves. These men
were led by Fred K. Maxine Higgin-
botham, half-breed Japanese, and
Iananese named Ne0ofo editor of a
japanese paper in Honolulu. These
men are now meing tried for conspiracy
in the third degree, the penalty for
which is one years Imprisonment.
'sThe japanese, to the number of
5000, quit work early in June, but at.
ter two or three days about half this
number went back. the other 5000 re-
naming out during June and July.
The reported object of the strike was
an increase in wages, amounting to
about 40 per cent. Fortunately for
the sugar planters. the strike came az
a time when they were able to fill
the places of the strikers by native
Hawaiians.
"There was, in fact, no real cause
for the strike. The japanese on the
Eva plantation, for instance, were
paid $23.75 for every man, woman, and
trasted with the price of farm labor
| in this country, which [ believe is $40
| or S21, it is easy to see that the Ha-
| waiian laborers had no cause for
striking This scale of wages does
not represent the average. Ordinarily

COMMANDER PEARY GIVES
DETAILS OF HIS EXPEDITION
Summary Of the Journey Of the Roosevelt
From the Time the Ship Left Sydney
Until Grant Land Was Reached.

Labrador In his ship, Roosevelt, but
there came from him message as
direct as his homeward journey has
been slow. It challenges the veracity
of DIR. Frederick A. Cook, Of Brook
Ign, and further complexities situa-
ton which the whole world Is dis
cussing.
In effect Peary discredits Cooks
claims with the intimation that he
(Peary) and he alone planted the
American flag at the North Pole on
April 6, 1909, and that DR.. Cook,
who asserts that he unfurled the flag
at the Pole on April 81, 1908, must
substantiate his claim.
In the meantime Peary continues
his homeward journey on the ice
SCARED Roosevelt
Mrs. Cook is in New York, and
Mrs. Peary has left her home in
Maine on her way to join her hus-
band at North Sydney. Though
pressed for a statement, Mrs. Cook
declined. absolutely to say anything
concerning her husband.
By those who received word of
DR.. Cooks discovery with skepticism
Commander Peary's challenge was re-
ceived with qualification; by those
who had been neutral it came as
another surprise in a series of re-
markable happenings, while to DIR.
Cooks supporters 1t was signal for
war. Cook. If his plans do not mis-
carry, will sail for the United States
on Sunday next and will arrive here
by September Fl. BY that time Com
mander Peary will have reached
home, but no one has as yet sug-
gested the possibility of a dramatic
meeting of the two face to face.
Peary's statement rejecting on DR..
Cooks achievement came from In
dian Harbor, Labrador, the point
through which he first reported his
success by wireless. 1t had probably
been delayed in transmission, and
read as follows:
II have nailed the Stars and
Stripes to the North Pole" This is
authoritative and correct.
Cooks story should not be taken
too seriously. The two Eskimos
who accompanied him say he went
no distance north and not out of
sight of land. Other members of
the tribe corroborate their story"
About the same time Mrs. Peary
received the following message un-
der the same date, both having been
sent via Cape Ray. N. F.:
Good morning. Delayed by gale.
Don't let Cook story worry you.

Past Decade Almost Equals Total
Of 100 Years to 1898.
United States Has Increased Its For
eign Trade In Manufactures Many
Fold In Recent Years.

Washington. D. C. Especially The
exports Of American manufacturers
for the 100 years from 1889 to 1909.
according to a report just made pub
lie by the Bureau of Statistics,
amounted to $4,000, 600, 900. OF
this enormous amount two-thirds
were exported within the last 20
years and one-half, or $4,000, 000,-
600, within the past IL years.
The value of manufactures export
ed within the past IL years Is as
great as all that exported in the 109
years preceding 1898, and the total
for 20 years is twice as large as the
total for the 100 years preceding.
The total exports of merchandise
from 1889 to date amounted to $46,-
600, 100000 of which 26 per cent.
were manufactures. Steady in
crease has been shown In the share
which manufactures form of our ex-
ports, rising from 6.5 per cent. in
the decade 1790-1799 to 37.6 per
cent. in the decade ending with
1909. Every city, country and grand
division of the world has contribut-
ed to this growth. In 1890 the total
value of manufacturers exported
amounted to $1,243,547. The larg-
est item was classed as chemicals,
drugs, etc. but which was in the
main potash, pearl ash and other
similar products, which amounted to
$841 900. Iron and steel products
were not recorded until 1890, when
the value of these exports amounted
to $4,000. The million-dollar
mark was not passed until 1910, but
form that time forward a steady
increase was shown in manufactures
of steel. Last year a grand total of
nearly 5000, 100000 of manufactures
of steel exported was reached.

of the Abruzzi was given an impress
sive reception on his arrival here
aboard the steamer Oceana. An
immense crowd had gathered at the
wharf to greet the distinguished ex-
plorer, about whom clings the popu-
lar idea that his trip to the Himala-
vas was the direct result of the rup-
ture of his romance with Miss Kath-
arine Elkins.
The Italian consul general, Count
Di Savoia, and the members Of the
Marseilles Geographical Society and
representatives of the municipal au-
thorities went abroad the steamer to
present greetings to the Duke, who
first received Count Di Savoia alone.
From him he obtained large pack
age of mail and he retired to read
the letters. When he reappeared his
face was radiant and he spoke to
the deputation of visitors and with a
display of rare good spirits. The
Duke said that he was delighted with
his trip, and added:
Il am sorry that I was not able
to complete all that l had planned.
but the results nevertheless were
satisfactory. l hold the record for
the highest ascension in the Hima-
layas, the previous record being held
by a Norwegian, who crossed Mount
Kabru at height of 1900 meters
(23,900 feet). My expedition reach
ed the top of Bright Pic, in the God
win-Austen range, at a height of
$500 meters (24,S90 feet). bring
back reports which l believe will
prove interesting in my forthcoming

brought with him scientific collec-
ton and large number of photo
graphs. DR.. Philippi, who had ac-
companied him to the Himalayas, re-
manned behind to complete his boz
tanical studies.

Beyond that he declined to be in
