 Mexican Herald: The yield of cotton throughout the state has been notably heavier this year than ill previous years which. to. gether with the rapid increase in the amount of cation produced during the past four years, has shown the wisdom in the state de. cree of February IS, 1905, exempt ing all cotton lands from taxation. This decree provided that all lands devoted to the culture of cotton should be free of taxation for a period of seven years. One clause in the decree, however, made it the duty of the eauthorities esto destroy the infected crop of any producer who does not take precautinn against insects which are injurious to the plant. This provision will expire in 1912, but it is hoped that the industry will then have a foot hold that will enable it to stand alone.

HEARD ON THE FRONT

Captain Murphy of the ship w. P.
Frye has at last secured his crew. Yes
terday the final batch of seafaring men
signed articles for the voyage around
the Horn, and the master of the ship
is happy. To preclude any possibility
OF the ships being delayed on Thurs
day, when she Is due 10 begin her trip,
Shipping Commissioner Amy has ar
ranged for half a dozen extra seamen
to be on hand in case any of those who
have signed fail to put IN an appear
ance. 1t was thought at first that the
Frye would have 10 anchor outside the
harbOr a day or SO before she sailed
in order that the men would have no
opportunity of deserving, but now that
substitutes have been secured, she viii
probably start from her dock. Shipping
Commissioner Almv went over to the
Immigrant Station yesterday morning
to consider The applications of a num-
Der Of japanese WHO were very DESTROYS
of shipping before the mast on the
Frye. There were twenty-five Japs in
all, and each and every one of them
professed to know everything that a
genuine sailor is supposed to know
Some OF them showed their discharge
papers. which were found to be rank
forgeries, and, after thorough examin-
alton, Amy found that there were but
three genuine seamen in the lot. The
desire of these men to sail on the Frye
led them to tell all sorts of fabrications,
many OF. them such obvious lies that
the Commissioner and Raymond Brown,
who were conducting the examinations,
were forced to take time-out for a
laughing spell. For instance, a Japan
csc would give his name as Kiehibuchi.
When Raymond Brown looked over his
records and discovered that no such
man had come TO Honolulu as a sailor,
the Jap would straightway announce
that he had made a mistake, that his
name was kichitaro instead of Kiehi-
buchi. And SO it went. Five men,
however. were secured to substitute on
the crew of the. Frye, and t'Roast Po-
tato' Murphy is now happy.

MARINE
LOST HER TOW
IN HURRICANE
Wireless Tells of Accident at
Sea---Lurllne Drops the
Mohican.

Again the efficiency of wireless tele-
graphy has been demonstrated. Out in
the middle of the Pacific, struggling
against a mighty storm that whirled,
jerked, swung and pulled the vessel
at its will, the Matson Navigation COM
pany's steamer Lurline had trouble last
Saturday night, and here in Honolulu
the news came yesterday, after having
been relayed from the transport Sheri-
dan to the Kahuku station. Towing the
bark Mohican the Lurline landed in the
midst of one of the meanest storms she
has ever encountered, and, on Saturday
night the tow-line, connecting the two
vessels, snapped in twain.
For a time it looked as If the Mohi-
can might founder, so fierce was the
storm. She was entirely helpless in the
hurricane, and, though the Lurline stood
by to render every possible assistance,
she was unable to do anything until
the storm abated. On the decks of the
Mohican are two twelve-inch guns
which will form the chief armament at
Pearl Harbor, and there was grave dan
ger that the lashings of these would
break. In the terrible confusion of the
moment, when the tow-line snapped, it
seemed as if the windjammer must
surely be lost, for there was absolutely
no way of guiding her. She rolled in
the trough of the mighty waves, pitch
ing and plunging, and in some fashion
unknown as yet, she was partially dis
masted
The wireless message which arrived
here yesterday, via Kahuku, from the
transport Sheridan, was in substance
as follows: tThe Matson steamship
Lurline, now two hundred aud fifty
miles asteEn of us, and towing the
American bark Mohiean, reports that
the towline snapped Saturday night,
and that the bark lost one mast. The
steamship stood by all night in a
heavy gale, picking up the Mohiean

ALAMEDA Is
CUP|D'S SHIP
Sailed Away Yesterday With
Three People Who viii
Be Married.

When the Oceanic liner Alameda ar
rived in Honolulu harbor last Friday
night she brought the news of ter
rible tragedy at sea; when the popu-
lar old boat sailed away for the
mainland Yesterday morning she ear
ried with her breath of romance.
On board the stauneh little ship were
three people who we're bound to the
mainland to meet their sweethearts
Henry Crane of the business staff of
the Advertiser left for the Coast to
marry Miss Mollie Bray in San Fran
cisco. The marriage will take place
on the 18th. This couple will return
on the Alameda, arriving here on Feb
ruary %.
MISS German is the name Of young
lady of Honolulu who is also speeding
over the waters to meet her lover true
According to the tale that was told
on the dock yesterday morning, she
will go to Hymen s altar shortly after
the Alameda arrives in San Francisco.
Who the third party is, other than
the fact that she is a Honolulu girl,
remained a secret up until the boat
sailed. Captain Berger was informed
of the state of affairs on the Alameda
shortly before she left the dock, and
he straightway played wedding
march for each of the three.
Genial Purser Smith promised faith
fully that he would take good care of
the love-lorn maidens, and Captain
Diplomat" Dowdell took a mighty
oath that he would not allow the ship
to meet disagreeable weather on the
voyage to the Coast.
In place of the boatswain who was
mystefiously lost on the voyage down,
one of the regular crew has been APP
pointed. The Alameda carried as her
chief items of freight 1900 bags of
rice, 1000 cases of canned pineapples,
1900 cases of fresh pines, 10000 bags
of sugar, and 1000 bags of coffee.

again on Sunday morning The Lur-
line will probably arrive at Honolulu
on Sunday or Monday, with her tow.
We expect to reach port early Satur-
dav morning
Besides the two great guns for Pearl
Harbor, which each weighs nearly
sixty tons. the Mohican has on board
considerable other ordnance and
freight. She is laden deep, and the
drag on the towline must have been
great The Mohican is an oldtimer on
this waterfront, and, for that matter,
has been tied up at dock in San
Francisco for nearly a year past. 1t
was generally thought here that she
had sailed her last voyage to the Is
lands, on account of the long time
that she was laid up in the Golden
Gate harbor.

Hyades Completes Trip.

TACOMA, Jan. 22.-The freighter
Hyades of the Matson Navigation com
pany's feet arrived in port at an early
hour yesterday morning and is loading
for her second voyage in the Matson
service. She at once began taxing cargo
at the Alaska-Pacifc dock and later
shifted to the sperry mills for -four.
The first voyage of the Hyades in
the Honolulu service with Tacoma, Sc
attic and San Francisco, has been en-
tirely successful. On her first trip the
Hyades left this port December 4, and
a few days later left Seattle.
From Kahului, the Hyades was eight
and half days steamlng to San Fran
cisco with 1900 bags Of sugar and
1000 eases of canned pineapples. She
discharged her cargo at San Francisco
and resumed to this port, completing
the round voyagesffom Tacoma in forty
seven days. The Hyades has expert
enced some rough weather, but has sue
ceeded in making smart time. She will
leave again Tor the islands the latter
mart of the month

NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS
TO BE GIVEN HEARING

WASHINGTON, June S.-Rcpresen-
tatlyes Of newspaper publishers, headed
by John Norris, chairman of the com
mittce on paper Of the American News
paper Publishers association, will be
given a hearing at os30 clock tomor-
row by the senate finance committee.
The committee has thus far taken no
action on the action of wood pulp and
print paper, and the differences of opin-
ion have been so great that The outcome
Of a vote could not be forctold.
The action of the house is regarded
as the equivalent of making wood pulp
and paper free.
Paper manufacturers have insisted
that they would be driven out of busi-
ness by the house provision and have
demanded continuance of the protection
given by existing law Some senators
were inclined to fix a rate of - per
ton on print paper. which is a 81 de
crease from the present rate. When
communicated TO members of the News
paper Publishers association this rate
was declared unsatisfactory.
On the questions of wood pulp and
print paper, coal, oil and hides the sen
ate committee has determined TO can
vass the sentiment of the senate before
making recommendations 1t is con
ceded that the vote on the question ol
putting hides on the free list will be
close. and the same is true Of oil. There
is sentiment IN favor of continuing the
protection of bitumnous coal. but many
senators believe that the existing rat,
of siXty.sevsn cents a ton is too high
and an effort will be made TO reduce
this TO about forty cents.

introduced recently by Mr.. Smoot. are
