OAHU P|NEAPPLES
KEPT FOR At DAYS

On December w. B. Thomas picked
crate of pineapple and shipped it to
Rev. G. L. Pearson, San Jose, CAL, on
the Alameda leaving here December 3.
This week Mr. Thomas received a let
ter from Rev. Mr.. Pearson, dated Jan.
p, in which he says:
81 am thinking you would be pleased
to know how long some of the pines
you sent us have kept. We ate the
last one yesterday. They arrived De
cember 10, or perhaps a day or two
earlier. We kept them in our cellar,
in the box as packed, using the ripper
ones first. They were all good-none
showed any decay"
Forty-seven days from picking is
pretty good and shows the possibilities
in shipping fresh pineapples if properly
handled by shipper and dealer.

ASKS GARFIELD IF
TOMORROW IS HOLIDAY

In an effort to settle the question
as to whether or not tomorrow is a
national holiday, applying to the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, Governor Frear ca
bled to Secretary Garfield yesterday
afternoon and expects to receive reply
today. Governor Frear stated at first
that the question of holiday would
be optional with the heads of the de-
partments, but he is understood to now
take the view that the action of Con-
gress making the hundredth anniver-
sary of Lincoln s birth a national hol-
iday applies to the Territory, although
the Organic Act does not, of course,
specify it.
Just to be sure about it, the Gov
ernor sent the cable query to Garfield
yesterday, and it is now practically
certain that all of the Territorial de-
partments and the courts will be closed
tomorrow.
The following resolution passed the
Senate on Jan. % and is supposed to
have passed the House:
GA joint resolution relating to the
celebration of the one hundredth ami
versary of the birth of Abraham Lin
colin, and making the 18th day of Feb
ruary, 1909, legal holiday, and for
other purposes

February, 1909, the same being the cen
tennial anniversary of the birth OF

the District of Columbia and the Terri
tories. Be it further
Resolved, That it is hereby recon-
mended that the American people al
home and abroad, the States and Terri
tories, and the District of Columbia, al
municipalities and towns, all organized
bodies of citizens, all associations, and

airship with crew of six suddenly
plunged downward six hundred feet,

PRISONER MAKES
SECOND ATTEMPT.
Charley Hobart, Sentenced TO Prison
For Highway Robbery Success
fully Escapes officers.

McAlester, okla, Aug. 2f.-Charley
Hobart, sentenced from Tulsa for
highway robbery, made his second at
tempt to escape from the state penf
tentiary last night and this time 1t ap-
pears he has succeeded for the time
being at least.
When the convicts were checked in
from the work Thursday night Hobart
was missing. It was supposed he had
hidden some place in the works and
the search for him began promptly.
With so many men having gone over
and over the ground all day long 1t
was impossible for the dogs to pick
up the trail
The search for him in the surround
ing country continues and as he could
have had only few minutes stazt
before the guards We're after him he
may be captured.
About four weeks ago Hobart made
an attempt to escape and worked a
very ingenious plan. The men were
at work in deep trench and he dug
hole in one side Of the wall Of the
trench. set a long board in there to
protect him and had some Of the men
cover him up after he had gotten in
there.
He was missed when the men were
checked in and the search for him be-
gan. The man in charge Of the work
was satisfied he had not left the place
and after they had gone over the
ground several times he still insisted
on looking farther Some OF the con
victs were set to work digging along
the trench and when he thought the
very next blow of the pick might land
on him he cried out and was discover
ed. This time he was more fortunate
and managed to get away

WICHITA LID TO GO
ON NEXT MONDAY
Public Opinion Aroused to Extent Of
Forcing city Commission to Stop
sale of Beer And Near Beer.

Wichita, Kans., Aug. I'll ~ Public
sentiment has been aroused to such a
pitch by the open violation Of the
prohibitory law by at least fifty joint
lists, and the talk of recall has become
SO strong, that Mayor Davidson called
a special meeting OF the commission
ers yesterday afternoon and they pass
ed an ordinance which is calculated to
stop the sale of near-beer. or real
beer and liquor, which is being sold
in all Of the numerous open joints.
For some reason which they did not
deem wise to make public, the COM
missioners will not have the new or
dinance published in the official pa
per until Sunday morning, and it will
not take effect until Monday morning.
This will give the jointists two days
in which to continue their wide-open
sales before any attempt will be made
to molest them on the part OF the po-
lice.
The new ordinance provides that
near-beer cannot be sold In less than
gallon lots and the sale of it is other
wise hedged about. The mayor de-
clares that his chief of police can en-
force this ordinance and thus he will
be able to close ali the joints. The
chief says he can easily arrest joint
lists under the new ordinance and he
will do so instead of paying no at
tention to them as the present method.
The quantities of beer which have
been consumed in the city during the
past four days is beyond belief. 1t is
stated by those in position to know
that twenty-five car loads of beer have
been received and sold. This seems
impossible, but a visit to one Of the
joints disclosed five barkeepers work
ing as hard as they could. Other places
are said to be as busy.
