Washington. Feb io.--(speciai.) )--A report is going the. rounds here that J. M. Dickinson, who has a voting res. ldencs al Nashville, but who really lives in Chicago, is practically slated for Secretary of War In the Taft cab- met alt s.
 5 Opinions vary as to the probability of his getting the place. but Senator Crane, of Massachusetts. who has the reputation of being pretty well posted as to what is going on in the Taft camp. Is inclined to think there is con- siderable basis for the report.
 Other Republicans are slow to be- lieve the rumor. for they think Judge Taft, might just as well retain Gen. eral Wright. If he Is not going to ap- point an old-line Republican who has been prominent in the party councils, and which so many leading Republi- cans have advised. They call atten- tion to the fact that Mfr.

Birminghan. Feb. 10s--( Especial. )-- Prohibition prefers darkness to light" if the experience of Birmingham is to De taken as the criterion. The Birm- 1ngham Railway, Light and Power Company is out with the figures to show 1t. The gross receipts from their lighting department suffered approxi- mately 325.O00 in 1908 as compared with the operations of 1907.
 Cigar dealers declare that their bus- l1ness took . severe tumble during the l1irst year of prohibition. They were much disheartened and attribute the defection to the dry wave. Thus is an. bother source of light cut down mate irialiy. Men will smoke when drink ling, provided they can get to 1t. And during the rage of the open saloon the Ecigar stands were always eibowing them.
 Matthew S. Sloan, former superin- tendent of the lighting department, and now general business superintendent of the big corporation which hauis the people to and from their work and furnishes practically all the light of the cities in the district, assigns pro- hibition as the main cause of fewer light sales. He is ready to admit that the business was slightly affected by the panic, yet 1t could not account for near the majority of the shortage.
 The entire business of the Birming. ham Railway. Light and Power Com- pany was off about 91e7,0O0 net dur. ing 1908 from 1907. This includes the transportation. the lighting and the power departments. Prohibition, the strike and the panic share the blame between them.
 An unforeseen incident of prohibi- tionp.is harrassing this big public ser- vice corporation. It is in the lighting department and makes new work for the secret service corps of the com- pany.
 Raidamg the Clubs. a...
 As . result of the Eheriff's raid on the Common Mans Club Saturday night its alleged proprietor is about to suf- fer a three-fold punishment. Charges of running gambling. den and of vic plating prohibition now hang over his head and he is greatly alarmed over the threat by the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power Company to take a hand in the prosecution. In fact. Man ager Sloan has about decided to make an example of the case and prosecute the first alleged offender caught in the act of purloining the electricity of the company.
 It would be the first instance of pros ecution in the State for violating the Jaw passed at the special session of the Legislature in 1907 making 1t a mis- demeanor to short circuit an electric current for the purpose of preventing ahe register of such current in a me.

CLAIM RECORDS WERE
FAXED FOR ExPL ORER
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, December Capt.
August Loose and George Dunkie, who
were supposed to have accompanied
Explorer Cook to the North Pole, made
sworn statements today to the effect
that they faxed the records presented
in their name to prove that Doctor
Cook reached the North Pole in adj
vance of Commander Peary.
These men tell story of their work,
and claim that they have now exposed
the whole scheme because they have
not been paid by Doctor Cook and his
associates as promised.
These statements have created pro-
found sensation, and, taken in connec-
tion with the affdavits that Doctor
Cook never reached. the top of Mount
Mckinley. they combine to prove the
much advertised explorer to be one Of
the monumental takers of the century.

TENyO MARU WILL
STAY OVER A DAY
A Large Quantity of Oil to Be
Taken on Board Is Cause
of the Delay.

At a late hour last night it was
learned that the Tenyo Maru will prob
ably not go out until tomorrow morn
ing. She has to take on 5000 barrels
of oil and the local pumps can deliver
only 250 barrels an hour SO that, even
though she get warped alongside the
Hackfeld wharf soon after daylight, it
will still be twelve hours before she
can get all her fuel on board. By that
time it will be after dark and Captain
Bent states that she may wait until
the morning before leaving.
This will allow one more day for
those who have not written all their
Christmas letters. The postoffice will
doubtless keep open for Coast mail I'M
til tonight, if this announcement is con-
firmed. At any rate the vessel can not
possibly leave before tonight.
This will be pleasing news to the
Japanese residents of this town who
will have one more day in which to
get view of their Emperor's repre-
sentative and will doubtless be equally
welcome to Baron and Baroness Uchi-
da. who have been on the water for
long enough to make an extra day on
shore a very pleasing change.

MOONsH|NER IS
CAUGHT ON MAUI
Doyle Arrests Japanese Who
Made Booze From
Pineapples.

Scientific distillers, with fine copper
have confessed themselves unable to
distil good liquor from pineapples
A smiling little son of Nippon, living
at Piahi, Maui, has succeeded, and for
his success he is now under arrest
charged with violation of the internal
revenue laws. He is accused of having
manufactured liquor without license.
The japanese, whose name is Y. Nish-
ida. was arrested Wednesday night by
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue
j. Walter Doyle as the result of a
pretty piece of quick work on the part
of the government official. DOYLE had
known for a moral certainty for some
time that Nishida was moonshining.
but it was hard to get at him. The
place where his cabin is situated, at
Plahi, is SO located that any one APP
preaching the place can be spotted a
long way off, and the moonshiner have
plenty of time to conceal the evidence
of his industry.
But early this week the collector got
message to the effect that the
plant was ripe, and Doyle was dis
patched to Maui on the Mauna Kea
An automobile was waiting for him
when he landed, and he sprang in, was
whlrled through Wailuku without stop
ping, and in an hour and a half had
reached the place where horses were
waiting for him and the deputy sheriff
who accompanied him. The rest was
easy. Nishida was caught with the
goods, and the deputy returned to Wal
luku with his prisoner and a simple but
very effective still. The latter has been
added to the choice collection in the
office of the collector of internal reve-
nue. and the name of Nishida has been
added to the docket of the Federal
court.
The prisoner appeared before United
States Commissioner George A. Davis
yesterday morning and was bound over
to the January term of court Nishida,
when asked where he learned to make
booze from pineapples, replied, "My
father, he show me in Japan when |

PEARL HARB0R
IS A MISTAKE

There is one man on the mainland,
at least, who fails to see the necessity
for terrifying Pearl Harbor and who
regards that work as folly. This is
Rev. DIR. Charles F. Dole, of Jamaica
Plains, Massachusetts, who addressed
the Nayasset Club of Springfield, re-
Gently. His subject was Hawaii and
Her Pr0blems,'' his reference to Pearl
Harbor being reported as follows:
doctor Dole is strongly of the opin-
ion that the United States made a mis-.
take in terrifying Pearl Harbor. He
feels it is like telling the japanese that
this country is suspicious Of them. 1t
is human nature, he says, TO be suspi-
cious in return. He believed that one
of the most marked characteristics Of
the Japanese is that one gets from
them much the same kind of attitude
and action that one gives them. Ten
wears ago. or even now, Reverend Doe
tor Dole said. this country could give
its word to the world that il would
build no more warships: could say that
we wished nothing that did not belong
to US. and were suspicious Of no one.
He believes that the whole world would
have followed this eountry's lead. In
that wav this country could have set
the pace as it does in many good
works. in peace and good will toward
the world. It would have been, he said,
venture with some risk, but a venture
such as some of those bv which eiviliza-
ton has made strides in its progress. .

Mott-Smith Mr.. Cooke gives as his
reasons for his decision the fact that

COMMISSIONER AND
CAPTAIN DISAGREE

CAPTAIN Josselyn of the bark Nuuanu
and Admiral Amy had little passage
at arms yesterday afternoon. The pi-
lil<ia came up over Captain Josselyn s
desire to disrate two boys, whom he
had signed on at eighteen dollars
month. to FIVE dollars a month.
Admiral Amy instructed the captain
that he must pay the two boys at the
rate of eighteen dollars month and
must take them back 10 New York
and pay them at that rate until they
were landed there.
In speaking of the matter, the ship
ping commissioner said "The two
lads looked like strong. willing boys to
me. and [ could not understand why
thew should be disrated. l asked the
captain why, and he said that they
could not steer. | then asked him if
they could steer when they came
aboard. and he said No.
Il therefore argued thar if they
were shipped at that rate of pay, nn-
able to steer. they should still be paid,
whether they learned or not. But, so
far as that is concerned as long as
they were signed on at eighteen dol
lars, the captain had no right to dis
rate them for any such amount, espe-
cially as common sailor s wages are
fifteen dollars a month on deep-sea
vessels.
ssUnless the matter is taken into
court out of my jurisdiction, the boys
will receive their full pay and will be
allowed a proper amount Of liberty
