Fort de Russy Growing.

Fort de Russy Growing.
From now on the work at Fort
de Russy Notifications will be rushed
along without delay. Part of the
lumber needed TO begin operations
is at hand and the laying Of the
foundations will be proceeded with
at once.
As the heavy guns which will de-
fend the approach to Honolulu Har-
Dor require foundations of the most
substantial character, II will he nee
essary TO do lot of preliminary
work before the masonry can be
started.
The series of tests undertaken
some months ago demonstrated just
where the weak points IN the beach
land lie and piles will be sunk In
those places. The tests were very
thorough, piles, weighted down with
great boxes of sand, being used to
determine the resistance of the soil.
Practically the whole sub-strata Of
the earth at the reservation is
known to the engineers.
The work OF clearing out trees to
make room for the new buildings at
Fort de Russy is now well under
way The waterfront of the old
! Along place, for years one Of the
beauty spots of the beach front. is
being denuded of all its palms and
looks decidedly bare. The loss of
the palms is particularly noticeable
on the little peninsula, which now
has a decidedly bald-hcaded look.
There has been no promiscuous
tree-cutting however, and only such
palms were cut out as stood actually
in the way of the buildings which
soon will go up. Many OF the palms
will be allowed to stand, both to
furnish shade for the garrison that
ultimately will be located on the
ground. and to mask the batteries to
n certain extent.
In most cases army engineers have
to lay out Notifications and posts on
lands devoid Of trees and shrubbery,
and 1t remains for the soldiers who
later garrison the posts to plant the
! trees and start flowers growing. No
such state of affairs exists here, and
nothing will be done 20 cestroy what
is already on hand.

Army Vegetable Gardens.

racks. New York." said an enlisted
man Of Company A of the Engineers
shortly before the sappers sailed for
the mainland the other day. I'VE
used to have little vegetable gar
dens and thus provided fresh vege-
tables for the company messes. This
plan worked out In great shape I'M
I'll the farmers of the neighborhood
discovered that their trade with the
post was falling of.
One day the farmers got together
and complained to their Congress-
man. In due time an order came
from the War Department forbidding
soldiers engaging in vegetable gar
dening within the post. The C. O..
fumed around a bit, according to the
sergeant major, but there was moth
ing for II; the order was published
and our gardens had to go to blazes.
The great American farmer had to
preserve his monopoly.
There is nothing here to prevent
the raising of vegetables, however,
and ] expect when next come here
to see gardens maintained on all of
the posts of Honolulu.
I'VE old soldiers appreciate fresh
vegetables, raised In our own gar
dens, on our mess tables. and II
there are many men who were in
the old army stationed here you
may expect to see the vegetable gar
den made one Of the features of the

M'MAHON HEIRS
 ACTION AGAINST
 STAMFORD TOWN
Is to Retermine Ownership of Land Adjacent to Stee:: plechase Island Property.
Hearing In Case Begun To- day Before Judge Gager- Deeds Figure In Suit That Were Executed In the Days of the Indians.

After four wears the hearing in the action brought by the heirs of the late John H. McMahon against the town o1 Stratford in order to determine the ownership of a strip of land 2,6S3 feet in length, bordered by Steeplechase is- land on the west, land known as prop erty belonging to Ira and David Cur tis on the east; and the Sound and the s'Gut' on the south and north, respec- lively, was begun today before Judge Edwin B. Gager in the Superior court. DeForest & Klein represented the plaintiffs, and Garfield. Judson & Pull man the defendants.
 The original papers in the suit were served by Sheriff Doolan on August 16. 1904, summoning the town of Strat- ford. the Idle Hour Club, Charles E. Stagg. deputy sheriff, Richard Brown, Frank B. Fulton and George Heisler to appear in court. These men held written leases on strips of property from the town of StratfOrd. The Me Mahons claimed to be the owners of the property while the town of Strat- ford, because of it's alleged original grant from the State of Connecticut, held the land and exercised the rights of owner on 1t.
 The State of Connecticut interposed an action and the trial of the suit was further aggravated by the removal of

Mott E. Merriman of 296 East Main street, a collector for the Schwartz child & Sulsberger Co.,, of 570 Water street. this city, narrowly escaped death in runaway accident early this morning. MT. Merriman was driving out Fairfield avenue soon after 5 o'clock this morning when the bolt holding the shafts to the axle of his carriage gave way dropping the shafts on the horses heels. The horse broke into a run. The wagon catching in the rails of the trolley track was over turned, pinning MT. Merriman under the wreck. A passing newsboy at tempted to extricate MT. Merriman from the remains of the carriage and notified Henry E. Waters who lives near by. MT. Waters called the emer- gency hospital and went to Mr. Mer- riman's assistance
 Dr. Ives found a number of serious injuries. MT. Merriman was bruised and racked and his left arm was shat tered between the elbow and shoulder. At the Bridgeport Hospital this after noon, it was stated that the extent of MT. Merriman's injuries would not be known for a day or two. After free
 ing himself from the carriage the horse ran toward the west and was later captured on Spruce street. The carriage is wreck

CULBERSON ATTACKS THE
 PRESIDENT
Says Another Lawless Act Has Been Committed by
 the Chief Executive.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Senator Culber- son of Texas, leader of the Senate Mi nority, assailed President Roosevelt on the floor of the Senate to-day for his action in the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company case He offered a res olution instructing the Judiciary Com mittee to investigate and report wheth- CT the President was justified in refus- ing as he did yesterday, the informa- t1on requested. Addressing the Senate MT. Culberson said that the message of the President showed no action was taken by the Department of Justice, because the President took the mat ter in his own hands as is not infre- quently the case."
 The message shows he continued,
 That another lawless act has been committed by the Chief Executive. ' He further disputed the Presidents declaration that the Senate has no right to direct a Cabinet officer.
 "The President of the United States by his action has permitted the viola tlon of law of Congress- he assert ed.
 Senator Culberson gave his reasons for introducing the resolution of in quiry. It was addressed to the At torney General. The answer was made by the President and the Attor- ney General has not been permitted to reply. However, Senator Culberson said, he did not intend to be diverted from the main object, which was the violation of law of Congress by the President, permitting the absorption of the Tennessee Company by the Steel Trust

tween the city of Bridgeport and the town of Stratford some time in 1907 The property in question is just east of the present limits of Steeplechase Island and along Long Island Sound. Of late years it has been turned into quite a summer colony. The proxim- ity to the city by way of Steeplechase Island and the good bathing made 1t a favorite summer section. Last year the Steeplechase Island Company put up a fence separating it's land from the contested section, intending there by to exclude the cottagers from us- ing the island as a means of access to the cottages.
 Architect J. A. O'Brien who investi- gated the conditions with relation to the boundaries was one of the wit nesses to-day. Some of the deeds in the case ante-date the coming of the white man to these parts going back to 1920.
