Where Diamonds Are
 Scattered on Ground
Wonderful New Fields Discovered in Barren Section of German
 Southwest Africa.

! London. Fe5. o5.-Advic.s from Br-
 deritIbucht, German Southwest Atri-
 ca, say that ten miles inland from
 that town. now the southern seaport ;, of German Southwest Africa, He the
 recently discovered diamond fields sf ! Damaraland, which have aroused K : traord,nary interest. The profusion of diamonds lying Btrewn or the Sur- face of the ground, coming from no i one knew where, pre- scented at first l geological Daifling The secret has , been discovered, after long and eN- haustiYe Investigation, by the most celebrated of South African economic l,eologists, Mir. NJ. E Frames, F. C.
 j.. Of Johannesburg. His decision may be taken as final in matters oi this sort.
 The diamonds are found in an enex~ | pTcssably desolate couDtry--+ove the surface of which Death itself seems i .o brood. It is & veritabie Land of ] Desolation. No living thing existed there til tbere came the q a:uond , seeker, for the land itself is dead i There is no water. there is never rain. Mile after mile stretches, tossed in.o irregular low hills and valleys, a
 pctritied ocean of sand and rock. Swirling np the shallow valleys frc- Quently rages the fierce southeastern wind, sweeping before it dense clouds of sand and pebbles which are check ed by, and deposited on, the slopes of the rocky hillocks. In one of these irregular depres- sions, about one mile broad 0y some thirty long, stretching in and out from
 LuderiJzbucht bay to Elizabeth ba%,
 are found diamonds. They lie on .,r
 near the surface, as & rule, not more than six inches below it. They are small, and of a usually uniform size,
 averaging four or five to the carat, ity and lusler while ill the rough that is was tt first believed they would not, in many cases, need cutting. They are not scattered indiscrimi- nately or uniformly over the surface, but lie ill patches of such eXtraordin-
 ary richness that on one of them be- tween 200 and 300 carats of diamonds have been simply picked up from the surface in a single day. The average value of these stones was about $7 a carat.
 The German emperor has become
 an emigration agent. He Is lesirous that impecunious aristocrats who can- not make q living in Germany should
 emigrate to German Southwest Africa
 and become useful members of that
 German colony. He has lent Baron
 de Schrnid s12,500 to enable him 70
 settle iu German Southwest Africa
 and begin life as & farmer.

Cous- tet. This will be the first time any body outside of Norway has ventured to compete with the natives in their national sport.
 Special interest is taken in the skating races for the worlds cham pionship because of the participation of Oscar Mathieson, Christiania boy of 20 and an active skater for only three years. This winter he has

BOIL WEEVIL
 MARCHES FAST
President Ginners' Association Says Destructive Bug Will Reach At. lantic Coast in l9l4--An Expert on Cotton Visits Little Rock.

That the boil weevil is making q much more rapid advance in his march across the cotton growing states eastward, and that 1t will reach the Atlantic coast in 1914. instead of 1916, as originally predicted was the statement of J. A. Taylor president of the National Ginners' Association, with headquarters at Memphis, who was in Little Rock yesterday
 A1r. Taylor is held to be one of the best, if not the best informed man in the world on cotton conditions, and research concerning the boil weevil has been his avocation for more than decade. He is, perhaps, the one man In the United States who by stroke of his pen can send the cotton mar >iet up or down. This fact is simply the result of the elaborate system which he has evolved during the past four years for gathering statistics upon which to base forecasts of crop conditions. MT. Taylor's system. cost him, he says, s1,00o annually. 50 far discounts in accuracy that the government, which costs $100,000 year, that he says Uncle Sam will be forced eventually to adopt his sys- tenn.
 '"The boil weevil will reach the Ar kansas valley this year," said Mir. Taylor at the Marion this morning. within two years time they will cover the cotton territory of the state. The only thing for the farmers and planters to do is to get ready to diversity their crops.
 "There will be slump in land values when the ravages of the weeYll make the growing of cotton unprofit- able. The people will get scared and sell out. But this slump will pass when the first scare is over, and land will jump in price again close to lts original value.

sUPPERS

There is a stir in police headquarters
such a stir as was not even equalled
during the most anxious days of the
squabbling among Japanese strikers
on the plantations, recently, and the
present ripple of excitement and wave
of anticipation is due to the decree t
the liquor commissioners that there
shall be no booze sold in this city on
Sunday, nor shall hotels or restaurants,
any more than the saloons, dispense
liquid refreshment after 1870 p. m.
on the six profane days of the week.
Particularly in the Office ohthe Chief
of Detectives, Joe Leal, is there
movement of preparedness, for Chief
Leal realizes more, perhaps than any
body else that the police are going 10

At 1880 o'clock this coming Satur-

that there will be considerable for the

HAS PLAN
WOULD START INDEPENDENT LA
BoRAToRY FOR THE BENEFIT
OF SMALL FARMERS.

II. F. Sedgwick, formerly with the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Experiment
Station in this city and for the past
five years in Lima, Peru, doing work
for the sugar plantations of the Gray
son company is trying to interest the
commercial bodies of the city in the
starting of a chemical laboratory here
which will be independent of those
already established.
He states in his letter to the Mer-
chants Association that he believes
that there is field for such an in
stitution here which would be of a
great deal of benefit. The Planters
laboratory, he states, has only to do
with the sugar industry, while the
Federal and Territorial men are un-
able to handle all the subjects which
might be taken up. He believes that
an independent laboratory would be OF
great benefit to the small farming in
dustries, such as the raising of pota-
toes, pineapples and fruits. Mr.. Sedg-
wick has completed his work in Peru
recently and is now in Honolulu.

crafty his cravings for drugs, Ken
meth r. Duncan, graduate of the Union
Theological Seminary, and at one time
pastor of a prominent Presbyterian
Church in San Francisco, betrayed his
Deneracrof In Santa Rosa, stole a
number of checks, a sum of money
and several garments, then escaped to
San Francisco. He was arrested last
night by Detective Bell and Policeman
Cameron and will be returned to San
ia Rosa for trial.
Duncan's rise TO prominence in the
ministry and his chances for a bril-
liant career are said to have been
phenomenal Once a slave to drugs,
however, his downfall is said to have
been rapid
He is said to have been dismissed
from the pastorate of a San Fran
cisco church because of an entangle-
ment with a woman member of his
congregation. He is also said to have
been subsequently expelled from the
ministry as a result of these charges.
Recently he has been IN Santa Rosa.
There an old parishioner, Arthur
Knowles, became interested in his
condition, and took the former prea-
cher to his home TO aid AMI care for
him. Duncan enjoyed the freedom of
his hosts home. it is said, and was
treated as one of the family.
Last week he disappeared Almost
simultaneously with his disappearance
it was discovered that checks amount
ing to 5000 that had been sent to Mr.
Knowles by various persons were also
missing; also there was missing $50
in cash, an overcoat and other gar
ments. Officers of Santa Rosa began
a search for the missing man. He was
traced to San Francisco, and was found
at California and Montgomery streets
last night.
He wept bitterly at the CITY Prison.
He declared that his cravings for drugs
had led him into his predicament, and
indeed had been the cause Of all his
trouble.

HUSBANDS
CRUELTY

Isabel X. Rasmussen sues Horvel
Rasmussen for divorce on the ground
of extreme cruelty in acts of violence
extending over about seven years, or
from a few months after their mar
riage on March %, 1902. The man is
accused of slapping, choking and beat
ing his wife, also threatening her life
with razor There is one child of
the marriage, a girl six years old, for
whose custody the mother prays. The
husband is said to be receiving 81 a
day in the employ of j. Hopp G. Co.,
and the wife asks for permanent ali
mony with absolute divorce.

to give him just one little
drink about which he will promise not
to say anything.
However, Leal is not worrying much
for he philosophers that, under the
new regulation, each previous Sunday
seller will have his eye on his neighbor
and will report any violations observ-
ed.
The effect on the town, according to
the police, will be interesting to OBJ
serve Like many other problems, it
will take care of itself by method
of balance. There may be fewer peo-
pie going out in Sunday to the Seaside
Hotel and the Moana Hotel and the
Waikiki Inn, but there will be more
folks, perhaps, going to the baseball
games.
Saturday sales at the saloons and
liquor wholesale houses will be greater
than usual. for there will doubtless
be many bottles taken home, since
consumers will not be able to purchase
drink on Sunday
In some sections blind-pigs may at
tempt to open, and for these the police
will be on the lookout.
The greatest noticeable change will
probably be observed Saturday night
after 11:30 O'Clock and in the dark
hours of Sunday morning. There will
be falling off otIate suppers or din
ners for the reason that liquor cannot
then be served except in a rum-omel-
lette.
On this Sunday there will be no
passenger steamship in
port, so there will be no opportunity
to get the opinions of transients on
the subject,
