Captain Christmas, Who Has Expert
knowledge of Wars in Honduras,
Says Hostiities May Be
Expected

NEW YORK, June 1S.-Rumors of
another Central American revolution
were given currency here last night by
the arrival of Captain Lee Christmas,
who has figured in so many such wars
that he is considered an expert on the
subject, whom many revolutionary
leaders seek.
Captain Christmas, who has held the
rank of general in the Guatemalan
army since he took an active and eN
citing part in the placing of Estrada
Cabrera in power in 1907, said last
night that he believed a revolution Was
under way IN Honduras and that he
would not be surprised if he were
called into it.
The reference department conducted
by New York newspapers shows that
Captain Christmas has been reported
killed in battle in one or another Cen
trail American republic not less than
seven times. He has been shot so
many times that he does not recall the
number. Whenever a revolution is
under way in Central America, the
United States government looks up
Captain Christmas and if he is in this
country d close watch is kept on him
to prevent a violation of international
friendship.

Consul General Uyeno of Japan de-
nies the report from Toxic that he adj
vised the planters not to yield TO the

then the millions flow as they have

do you suppose that if the gas and

Prosecutor Accuses Doctor

The prosecutor was returning to his
table for a law book, when Policeman
Charles Goff halted him and made
whispered communication. Mr.. Heney,
turning to Judge LaWlor, said
Il have had my attention directed to
an example of misconduct on the part
of DR.. Coffey who sits over there"
DR.. Coffey arose to address the court
at this instant, saying:
"Ths inference is outrageous l de-
mand an apology from Mr.. Heney."
You won't get it," said the prose-
cutor.
Il deserve one, because | am gem
tleman. and you are not" said Dr.. Cof-
fey, standing to confront Mr.. Heney.
Judge LaWlor requested DR.. COffey to
sit down and asked Mr. Heney the rea-
son for his accusation.
At Mr. Heney's request Policeman
Gof arose and said that DR.. Coffey
had been holding both hands to his
temples and smiling at the jurors.
DR.. Coffey was explaining that his at
titude had been misunderstood and
that he was doing no more than paying
attention to the argument when he
was again interrupted.
THE jury could not have seen Dr.
Coffey at this distance and in this light
if they had tried to do So" said Alex
ander King of the defense.
"This is a deliberate attempt to
prejudice this jury against the defend
ant"
Judge Lawlor instructed the jury to
disregard the entire incident, but Mr..
Heney had scarcely resumed his ad-
dress when there ensued one of the
long and complicated arguments that
have distinguished proceedings of the
trial.
For over an hour Mr.. Heney and AS
sistant District Attorney John O'Gara
resisted an effort by Mr.. Calhoun's at
torneys to shut out reference to TREY
l.. Ford's failure to appear as a wit
ness for the defense. In the end the
court permitted limited reference to
the subject, but Mr. Heney did not
take advantage of the decision.
Attorney Anglers Prosecutor
The most notable quarrel of the argu-
ment occurred in the night session.
when Stanley Moore, accused of assist
ing in the removal of stolen documents

sprang to his feet with an angry denial.
IF you want to know what became

Heney, "ask Stanley Moore of the de-
fense, who assisted in their removal"

address the prosecutor.
Mr.. Heney's voice trembled with rage
as he walked past Judge Lawlors desk,
shaking his forefinger at his challenger
Men who have watched for months to
prevent a clash in the court room rose
to their feet as an angry chorus of
protest came from attorneys for the
defense.
Mr.. Heney, glaring across the narrow
intervening space at Mr.. Moore, had
half uttered a reply when Judge Lawlor
directed the argument to proceed.
To demonstrate his theory of the pay
ments made through the United States
mint in the summer of 1906 Mr.. Heney
spread before the jury two canvas
boards, lettered in black and red, with

HONOLULU, June 1S.-The latest de-
velopment of the complicated situation
which has grown out of the strike of
japanese plantation laborers and the
subsequent arrest of their leaders is a
charge of burglary preferred today by
Attorney Joseph Lightfoot, who repre-
sents the accused men, against High
Sheriff William Henry and Attorneys
William A. Kinney and Mason f. Pros
ser, counsel for the Planters associa-
tiOn.
The accusation grows out of the blow
ing open of the safe in the office of the
Jill, the radical Japanese newspaper,
and the seizure of books and papers be-
longing to Editor Soga and others,
which are alleged to have revealed d
conspiracy among the leaders of the
strike to obtain control in the islands,
The matter is now being investigated
by the grand jury.
At a meeting of the leaders of the
strike today NJ. NegorO urged that the
men be advised to return to work, but
this course was opposed by F. Maxine
and otherc Although many unofficial
approa ches have been made in an effort
to restore peace between the strikers
and their former employers nothing
has yet been accomplished, and the
situation remains unchanged.

There was a chorus of protest from
the defendants attorneys, who charged
that Mr.. Heney was again guilty of

the record, instructed the jury to dis

Heney aud Messrs. King and Stanley

RETURNS HOME

Mr.. Thos. NJ. Ferguson, the we'll /
known real estate man, has just re-
turned from a few weeks outing with
his family, most of the time being !
spent at Monteagle, Tenn, On his re-
turn he spent a few days visiting
friends at Scooba, Miss.
He was very enthusiastic over the
trip and especially that part of it
spent in Tennessee. The Monteagle
Assembly is far better this year than
ever before and the attendance will
far exceed that of last year, so he
thinks.
He said that while he had a delight
full time on his trip, yet he is glad to
be back with the happy, hustling peo-
pie of Hattiesburg.
When asked about the crops on his
trip he said they were splendid North
of Birmingham, and around Mont
eagle, especially fine as the seasons
have been good there.
The attendance at Monteagle this
year is much better than last. Though
the gate receipts last year amounted
to over $4,000 they expect to reach
$4,000 this year $4,000 will be
spent by the assembly this year for
the lecture platform, having had some
of the most distinguished speakers in
the United States there during the
season.
Monteagle is 22O0 feet above sea
