roll of casualties includes five persons
suffering with gunshot wounds. and
IL Greeks SO badly beaten that they
were taken to the hospitals for treat
ment.9
About Is other persons suffered from
assaults or as a result Of misdirected
missiles intended for the Greeks. No
estimate can be placed on the financial
loss resulting from destruction OF prop
erty by the mob. Not less than five
shops of importance were almost wholly
wrecked, while 16 smaller ones escaped
serious damage only because OF their
smallness. %
Leave it to the law. That is your

this afternoon at Baright hall, a large
auditorium in the business district of
Omaha, at which other leaders of the
Greeks will be speakers.

about 1000 Greeks residing in Omaha
and South Omaha. There has been a
steady exodus of Greeks from Omaha

terday. Every train Is carrying a large
number away. ...

WOULD have JUSTICE

Editor L ven ing Bu ct M
The article in the Hawaii Herald of
Dec. 2 ic, provided It is true, an
example of the way that business is
carried on under some of the de.
partments of the Territory that
should cause some one to sit up and
look around"
The fact that Deputy Sheriff
could collect license fees and retain
them for from ten to sixteen
months" until the license clerk made
a trip to see about the affair, isN de-
cidedly cool and refreshing. What
the people would like to know is
this:
Did the license clerk accept this
money knowing that 1t had been In
possession of the officer "ten to six
teen months" and make no effort to
have the matter Investigated or to
report to his superior?
Let us have the truth and all OF the
truth.
II is the sworn duty of some one
to render justice to the parties that
are mentioned and If the Territorial
clerk has made himself an accessory
after the fact to a transaction that
he knew was wrong It is up to him
to explain why he did not cause the
officer in question to be called to
answer to the wrongdoing.
III the head of the Department was
aware of the matter he is still more
TO be censured as he is primarily
responsible.
Al any rate all of the officials OF
this Territory are sworn to obey the
laws and are under heavy bonds to
SO do, and 1t is up to them to rise
and explain how this thing could oc-
cur and no one meet the lust nun
ishment that should be meted on,
to them.
This thing is not going to be hush
ed up FOR POLITICAL OR ANY
oTHER REASONS and It is time for
me proper officials to wake up anG
drop politics and lay aside the rub
Der shoes' and get down to the peo-
pies business. "a
If THIS STATEMENT IN THE
HERALD Is TRUE It would seem to
layman that Sections 1867 and
"o would apply to these parties.

Figures contained in a report or the

indicate that the share Of the wheat

The report was issued to settle the
discussion in regard p the apparent
decline in the expectation OF foodstuns
and the increased demand for foodstuns

In the twenty-year period from 1883 TO
1903 the share OF the wheat crop export
ed ranged from 80 per cent downward
on only two occasions falling below -
per cent. In 1904, however. the share Of
the wheat crop exported was but 10 per

As to the production itself. the figures

there is no material decline I'm quantity

that consumption is growing more rap

Corn expectations also show "a like
