JURISDICTION OF THE AIR.

Oakland Tribune-A bill has been
introduced in the House of Representa-
tives of Hawaii Territory to preserve
the secrecy of wireless messages by
making their interrogation and disclos-
IRE penalized offense, and another bill
makes it an offense for the owner of
a wireless outfit to interfere with the
operation of any other system. mas
much as the atmosphere of the earth
is the agent of wireless Transmission,
these bills raise the nice question as to
whether jurisdiction can be exercised
over it by any governmental authority.
The air is supposed to be no man IS
or government S special property, but
is free to all. If governmental control
can be placed upon it, where does iuris-

defined offense which all courts have
recognized and for the prohibition of
which penal legislation is as reasonable
as that affecting any form of theft. But
the difficult problem presented in the
protection of wireless telegraphy is that
no private ownership can be establish
ed on the air. A movement has been
starteda to get an international agree

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

When you are in doubt tell
the TRUTH It was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to a beginner in the work. i
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable SO
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; Their
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth al tie
time. Thus you. make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa
ton that is always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every,
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity OF
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discoy-
cred that this medicine is exact
ly what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. It is palatable as money
and contains all the curative
properties of pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. A combi-
nation of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been SO successful in Ane-
mia, Serofula, Bronchitis, Infiu-
enza, Loss of Flesh, Wasting
Diseases, and Coughs and Colds.
DIR. Austin D. Irvine, of Canada,
SAYS: 81 have used it in cases
where cod liver oil was indica-
ted bnt could not be taken by
the patient, and the results fol-
lowing were very gratifying" Ii

It is that we have the newspapers work
ing with us and we with them. This
becomes more SO every day and it. is
noticeable as compared with the rela-
ttionship Of few years ago. The press
is admitted gladly to all public meet
ings and to the meetings of our organ
iations. We have confidence in its rep
resentatives and when, as occasionally
happens, it seems desirable to omit dis
cussions or actions from the papers we
always find them willing to fall in line.
Public reporting of meeting also does
us much good in checking any tendency
on our part to heated debate, rash or
irrelevant discussion.
why don t your business men get
together here and open the hotel?''
concluded Mr.. Waldron. cit is the one
great need of the town. You have
fine climate, I expected to find rain,
but have seen none except few show

WALDRON CREDITS PRESS
WITH HELPING HONOLULU

There is one thing to which T at.
tribnte much of Honolulu s recent sue
cess and that can be summed up in
the word Harmony, said F. T.. Wal
dron, president of the Honolulu Mer-
chants Association, to the Hilo Her
aid last week. 1.-THE Chamber of Com
merce, the Merchants Association and
the Promotion Committee are all work
ing toward one end-prosperity While
we may differ among ourselves as to
details or what is best, we finally get
together and pull together. If one man
disagrees with another we are willing
to give each other credit for an honest
difference of opinion. That tends to
Harmony, and Harmony means Pros
perity.
aThere is another thing that, as far
as my experience goes, does US good.

on the altar of the muekraker.
Agitators. muekrakers and eranks

party has its place, and will march
four square to victory over them all if
it is true to its policies and to its prin-
eiples.

that God and one constitute a major

I do not denounee the crank and the
fanatic; man can not help it if he is
born with cast in his BRAIN There
are selfish souls in the world and there
are timid souls in the world It has
always been so.
. am not abusing the muckraker.
God made him what he is, and he evi-
IDENTIFY has some use. But this is not
the time for talk; it is the time for ae-
ton. Ninety millions of people pause
and wait. The jobber is not placing
his orders six months ahead, and the
manufacturer is not preparing as ex-
tensively as he formerly did, because
they are waiting for the tariff bill.
Therefore it behooves us to pass
the tariff bill as promptly as possible

comes from God a1one''

WASHINGTON, March 29.-es Uncle
Joe' Cannon, Speaker of the House,
in great burst of candor last night at
a dinner of Republican clubs at the
Arlington Hotel, insisted that Mr.. Taft
was a greater President than Mr..
Roosevelt, and that the duty of Con
gress was to pass tariff bill and pass
it SO quickly that the wheels of indus
try could Immediately resume. The
Speaker swept the diners to their feet
IN a great outburst of applause. He
said:
II believe the man in the White
House is the greatest President we have
had since Lincoln s day. He is a man
of judicial temperament, a man who
will not cut across lots. He will CO.
operate with Congress and allow Con
gress to cooperate with him, protecting
the rights of the American people I'm.

HEARING OF MINING
PROMOTER IS BEGUN
STOCKHOLDERS WIN FIRST
POINT IN CASE
Judge Denies Motion to Dismiss Conn.,
plant Against Man Charged with
Issuing False Prospectus
for Company

The preliminary examination OF
Charles w. McCrossan, who, as Sec
retary, treasurer and director of the
Cordillera Mining company, limited, is
alleged to have issued a false pros
pectus regarding the value of the COM
pany's property, was begun before
Justice Summerfield yesterday, and,
judging from the slow progress during
the five hours session, the hearing
will extend over a period of several
days.
McCrossan was arrested late at
night March IL following meeting OF
excited stockholders in Blanchard's
hall The stockholders were again out
in force to listen to yesterdays court
proceedings. They won the first point
in the legal contentious when Justice
Summerfield denied a motion of Nc
Crossan's counsel, Paul Schenck and
B. A. Sturgeon, to dismiss the COM
plant on the ground of insufficiency,
the argument on this point between
the defendants attorneys and the
prosecution, represented by G.. Ray
Horton, deputy district attorney, and
C. L. Shinn, taking up the entire fore
noon.
Only One Witness Testifies
Only one witness testified during the
afternoon. This was DIR. Charles A.
Hammett, at present a member OF the
board of directors of the mining COM
pany, and, as he expressed it, sup
posed to be secretary and treasurer of
the corporation" His testimony was
for the purpose of connecting Nc
Crossan with the issuance and circu
lation of the alleged false prospectus,
dated August 1, 1907, and which, it is
claimed, was the medium through
which hundreds of persons were in
duced to purchase stock in the eXpec-
tation that they would realize enor-
nous dividends.
The minute book of the company
showed that McCrossan was secretary,
treasurer and general manager from
the date of it's formation, May 6, 1907,
until May 10, 1908. These minutes also
showed that the first regular meeting
was held at McCrossan's home, 619
Commonwealth avenue, May 10, 1907,
with three persons present, F. N. Hub
bell, McCrossan and the latter's wife,
Georgiana McCrossan. Hubbell was
elected president of the corporation,
McCrossan secretary and treasurer,
and Mrs. McCrossan vice president
and the three voted to give McCrossan
option on 10000 shares of the COM
pany's stock to be sold so as to net
the concern $4,000. Thomas and Ar
thur Hamilton, living at Magdalena,
who are said to have first planned the
organization of the company, were
elected directors, and McCrossan was
chosen general manager, with full
power to receive and disburse the
funds.
The hearing will be resumed today.
