oenenciaries under the will, and daugh-
ter of Mrs. Josefa Cebrian, to whom
more than $1,900,000 was wiIled. ad-
mltted writing letter to Norberta
Martinez of Mazatlan, Mexico, an order
for the taking of whose deposition
was obtained by Miguel de Laveaga.
Ii seems that my Uncle Miguel has
gone crazy, wrote Miss Cebrian. He
has no respect for the dead, nor affec-
ton for his parents Now his ATTORNEYS

better than any one how good, intelli-
gent, how charitable, how much of a

are going to put to you. Say in ali
truth how well educated the senorita
was. Do not say that she was nina
lnocente, because this the opposite
side translate as imbecile idiot"
The letter is in some of its terms
similar to that written by Dolores
Guerrero to another witness in Mazat-
Ian, but Miss Cebrian insisted that she
spoke to no one before she wrote the
letter above quoted.
Miss Guerrero was also on the stand
testifying relative to her letter to Ell
vira Castano. She declared again that
no one suggested that she write it,
but that she did so because she had
heard that E. Roca was bribing wit
nesses for the contestant. A letter was
introduced, written by Elvira Castano
from Mazatlan TO Mrs, Cebrian stating
that Roca had openly dared to make
monetary promises If / would be will

FAVOR WATER AND
G[ARY ST. BONDS
Upholsterers' Union Indorses
Hetch Hetchy and Municipal
Railroad Projects

The upholsterers' union placed itself
on record last Tuesday night on public
utilities by indorsing unanimously the
Hetch Hetchy water proposition and
the Geary street bond project. The
secretary was instructed to notify all
members who were absent from the
meeting and urge them Ito get out and
work for the bonds"
The union made another contribution
to the fund to be used in the boycott
against a feather company.
Under the agreement between the
metal trades association and the iron
trades council by which the men who
were working in those trades secured
a graduated reduction of working time,
they went to work yesterday on the
eight hour scale. The wages are the
same as when they worked nine hours.
This affects about 5000 men in this city.
The stationary firemen decided last
Tuesday night to request the San Fran
cisco labor council to declare its inten-
ton to place a boycott against one of
the department stores that has, it is
said, refused to employ union men in
the fireroom. The matter will also be
brought to the attention of the build
ing trades council.
The San Francisco labor council has
been asked by the bakers and confec-
affiliated with the council have the
members and their families demand the
bakers union label when purchasing

TRACE OF big JIM

Seek in Vain for the Miss
ing Gallagher
Graft Witness Is Immune From
Prosecution by Reason OF
Statute of Limitations

Jim Gallagher is still among the
graph failed dismally yesterday in its
| efforts to apprehend the chief witness
in the San Francisco graft prosecu-
tion cases. Both District Attorney
William H. Langdon and Captain of
Detectives M. o. Anderson reported
last evening that they have had no
trace of him.
The absence of Gallagher will have
a decided effect on the graft cases.
His testimony is essential to proof of
| bribery
II have heard nothing from CAL
legher nor any word that would give
hint to where he might be, said
Langdon. L had a talk this morning
with his brother, Tom Gallagher, with
whom he lived in the Richmond dis
trfct. Tom said that the family did
not know where Jim had gone. He
talked of his departure freely, Tom
said, but would not tell any member
of his family his destination. and they
are IS much in the dark about his
whereabouts as we are.
Personally" Langdon continued, I
can not think why Gallagher should
immune from punishment for bribery
by the statute of limitations. Even If
case could have been made out on
the ground that he had committed per-
jury when he and the other super
visors swore to their affidavit of IN
nocence of any bribery when the
graft prosecution first started he
could not be prosecuted for it, for per-
jury. too, is covered by the statute Of
limitations"
DO you think Gallagher was
reached by any of the defendants in
the graft cases and sent out of the
jurisdiction of the court?" the district
attorney was asked.
''Ie don't think so, but you can draw
your own conjectures as well as
can." replied Langdon.
Captain of Detectives Anderson said
that he had received no replies to the
kilograms he had sent broadcast ask
ing the police of other places to look
out for Gallagher.
Gallagher is thought to have left

noon from the ambulance of the city

the ambulance at the emergenlcy hos

found that Doyle was gone.
No attendant is kept in the city and

TERRIBLE RESULTS
OF KONA DROUGHT
RICHLEY TELLS OF GREAT STORM
WHICH SWEPT THROUGH DIS
TRICT ON LEEWARD SIDE.

A. Richley has returned from a trip
around the island taken for the pur-
pose of examining light houses and
looking into the establishment of new
lights. Mr.. Richley had a very hard
trip, but he saw many things OF gen
eral interest.
Il was in Kau on the sixteenth, >
said Mr.. Richley, land rode to the
light house, which is about twenty
miles from the village. l saw hun
dreds of carcasses of horses and cattle
lying on both sides of the trail, this
being the result of the drought
1T is impossible to say too much
about the way in which the coffee in
dustry in Kona is developing. The
trees are in flower now, and look as
if they were covered with snow. Judg-
ing from the present indications the
KOna crop should be very large one
this year. Great interest is being
shown in coffee in that district at
present. Lots of Japanese, and some
Hawaiians and Portuguese are going
into the coffee business and new
houses are being built all over the dis
trict.
The recent storm was one of the
worst they have ever had in Kona.
The sea came up hundreds of feet
above the usual mark washing over
the trails. One house at an elevation
of "a feet was almost reached by the
water.
"On the Robert Hind ranch the
drought has wrought great destruction.
Hind told me that he estimated his
loss at about three thousand head of
cattle. On my way to Waimea 1 was
caught by the storm and had great
difficulty in making my way. The
storm lasted several days. On the way
from Kawaihae the wind drove pebbles
the size of peas into the faces of ira
velers.
"A Seattle man, named Belger, Hay
selden of Honolulu and a driver made
the trip from Waimea to the Kohala
Club at the same time as did. Their
surrey was overturned by the wind,
and the fact that the horses got away
and ran off was all that saved them
from serious trouble.
THE roads from Waimea to Lau-
pahoehoe are in a fearful condition, the
road being axle-deep almost all the
way / found all the lights in good
condition. The new lighthouse at
Kailua will be ready in two or three
weeks. "-Hilo Tribune.

can truly say have received great bene.

81 have also found Peruna q very
valuable remedy for stomach trouble

81 have no hesitancy whatever in rec

There are several kinds Of indigestion.
The trouble may be due to sluggish
ness of the liver, arrangements Of the
bowels, enlargement of the pancreas, or
It may be due to the stomach itself.
In nearly all cases of stomach indiges.
ton catarrh is the cause. The only per-

Peruna has become well known the
