quents.

sent in that riot was on there.
Shin told the court how he was
quietly walking along when he was
called "A dirty Korean by some Japs.
He said he called the Japs moral
lepers and they assaulted him. He
said he was knocked down and
beaten. He exhibited some slight
scratches and bruises as evidence
of what he had told.
There were other witnesses who
in part corroborated the story told
by the Korean.

assessed $4.60 costs which was
paid Attorney Correa defended
the Jap.
Sakamoto forfeited IS to the
treasury for being present where
gambling was being conducted

up before the court and on their
plea of guilty they were com nitted
to the jail where they will assist in
keeping the streets and government
lawns in good shape for while

living with is as good as the latter's
wife. Balentine denied the truth
of Alfreds statement and after ex.
changing a few complimentary
blows James Keao, acted as referee
and declared the fight draw and
took the principals before Judge
Mckay for a final decision in the
matter Judge Mckay seemed tc
take the same view of it and as
sessed each SO. Alfred paid his
fine but Balentine will improve the
streets.

population.
The fact that our merchants
have to consider the possibility of
collecting accounts from slow and
bad payers forces them to make
the good customers pay more for
their goods; an injustice to the
good ones, no doubt, but necessary
to enable them to make something
off their business.

What the Agents Handled.

1t will be noticed that the Ha-
waiian Commercial Il Sugar Co.'s
mill, Puuncne, alone produced more
sugar than any other two mills,
with the exception of Waialua, Eva
and Olaa plantations, or nearly one
half the total amount handled by its
agents, Alexander Il Baldwin, Ltd.
Reports have been received indi-
eating that the crop of 1910 is doing
very we'll and it is expected, at least
on Maui, to exceed all previous re-
cords.

HITS SOUTHWEST
Hot Wave Strikes Down Hosts and
Kills Ten.
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma in
Stricken District-Corn Shriveled
Up and Much Vegetation Killed
Official Records Give Temperature
as High as 10.

Kansas City, Aug. 17.-Unusually
intense heat, officially recorded by the
government weather bureau as high as
110 degrees, caused at least ten deaths,
numerous prostrations and much dam
age yesterday in Missouri, Kansas and
Oklahoma. Throughout the Southwest
the day was the most trying since the
devastating 'drouth of 1901. AS the
whitening winds swept across the plains
much vegetation fell.
In this city the heat continued and
Frustrated score, some of whom are
in dangerous condition. The Union
depot was like an oven. Babies be-
came seriously i'll and medical attention
was needed before their mothers could
resume their journeys. The distress of
party of immigrants was great.
The likelihood of an ice famine added
to the gravity of the situation here.
Dealers reported that the factories
were running night and day, but that
the demand had exceeded the supply.
Most of the dealers refused to deliver
more than 25 pounds to any residence,
and feared they would have to cut this
quota down.
At Wellington, Kan, the official
temperature was LOG. Corn was suf
fering greatly in that district. The
day was the hottest. Topeka has had for
eight years, 102 degrees being official
ly recorded. Two prostrations resulted
there.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. 6.
WANT MORE BATTLESHlPS.
United States to Lead World With
BattIeships of Great Power.

United States to Lead World With
Batteships of Great Power.
Washington, Aug. 10. - Congress
may be asked next winter to provide
for two 30,00O-ton battleships, each
with IL l4inch guns, and each costing
SIP, 900, 900. 1t is stated that such a
program has been pretty carefully stu
died out.
After considerable preliminary work,
the first 14-inch gun has been con-
structed at the Midvale works, and is
shortly to be tested at the naval prov
ing grounds at Indian Head. If it is
deemed desirable to have guns of 14-
inch caliber, it will Immediately be-
come question whether there shall be
10 or IL of such guns on each battle
ship. The proposition of two years
ago, during the Newport conference,
was to have 10 14-inch guns instead of
IL IL. inch guns, the former caliber to
have relatively diminished velocity.
1t was finally decided, however, that
when the 14-inch gun was developed it
should be of a hitting power commen-
surate with the increase of caliber COM
pared with the 12-inch gun. There is
an inclination also to adhere to 12-inch
guns in the battleship battery, and it
is possible that with the adoption of
the 14-inch gun there will be IL instead
of 10 of those rifles, in which event
the next battleships to be authorized
will be of at least 80, 900 tons displace-
ment, and estimated to cost approx
mately SIP, 600, 900 each.
1t is likely such battleship will
have the same speed and endurance as
the 26, 0OO- ton battleships now build
ing. Much may depend in the determ-
ination of this question upon the plans
adopted by European navies.

QUAKE FELLS MOUNTAIN.
Thousands of Buildings Destroyed and
Great Property Loss.

Toxic, Aug. 17.-Reports received
today concerning the earthquake in
Central Japan Saturday, show there
were many fatalities and great damage
was done to property. The dead at
present are said to number 80, though
it is feared further fatalities will be
reported from the outlying districts.
The number of persons injured is 50.
Thus far 1862 buildings, including many
temples, are reported to have been de-
stroyed and more than 1000 others
badly damaged.
The town of Asaku, in Gifu, suffered
terribly. The banks of the Hida river
broke and the country is inundated.
The people of the district fled to high
ground and remained in the open all
night. Intermittent shocks were felt
throughout Saturday night and early
Sunday morning.
The mountain Ibuki, short distance
west of Gifu, collapsed with thun-
derous roar.
Slight damage was done at Nagoya,
to the southwark of Gifu, and neigh
boring villages.

THIRTY BUSHEL WHEAT.
Montana Farmer Makes Success Of
Working Dry Land.

Montana Farmer Makes Success Of
Working Dry Land.
Caldwell, Mont, Aug. 20.-F. F. IT.
vine, member of the Montana board OF
control of the Fourth Dry Farming con-
gress, and one of the successful dry
land farmers of this vicinity, is now
harvesting 40 acres of wheat, which he
estimates will yield about 80 bushels
an acre. This grain was planted in
September on sod ground that had been
plowed in May and June. Being the
first crop from this ground Mr.. Irvine
regards his crop as unusually good. He
says the field has been attracting at
tention and people have been coming
in from miles around to see for them
selves what can be accomplished by
conscientious application of dry farm
ing principles.
Mr.. Irvine has informed Secretary
John T. Burns, of the Dry Farming
congress, that he will send a sample OF
this crop to Billings, Montana, for ex-
hibition at the Fourth Dry Farming
congress, which will meet at Billings,
October 26-27-28 next.

Money Order Business Immense.

Washington, Aug. 18.-Money order
transactions in the postoffices of the
country have grown so in the last year
or two that it now is necessary to
maintain a force of about $50 account
ants, bookkeepers, assorters and exam
iners in the office of the auditor of the
department. There are $4,000 money
order Offices, from which $4,000 mon
ey order accounts annually are received
by Auditor Chance. They are accom-
panied by 68,00O,000 paid money Or
ders, aggregating $575, 0O0,00 Post
masters are required to deposit surplus
money order funds and about 2, 500, 900
certificates of deposit, aggregating
$55V, 600, 900, also are received by the
auditor for official record and inspec-
ton. The auditing of these vouchers
and statements represents lao, ,000,0 600
separate transactions. Approximately
$50, 200 paid money orders, weighing
500 pounds, are received at the audi
tors office each day. In the process
of reassembling these vouchers numer-
ically into states and offices of issue,
every money order is handled seven
times, or the equivalent of l, ,750, 600
each day. This work alone requires
165 expert sorters, all of whom are
young women.

RULE VANDERBILT LINES.
Wizard of Wall Street Has Option on
Control of System.

Control of System.
New York, Aug. 18.-The elimins-
tion of the Vanderbilts from New York
Central lines and the complete ascend
ency of Edward H. Hartman in the
control of more than $4,000 miles of
railroad comprised in that system is
declared to be the next important move
in the railway world.
1t is reported on what seems to be
good authority that the Hartman back
ers have secured an option on the great
er portion, if not all, of the Vanderbilt
holdings and will soon close a deal in
the interest of the Napoleon" of the
railway world. The option which has
been obtained, it is stated, is on $780,
600, 900 worth of New York Central,
which is to be purchased for Mr.. Har-
riman at $3.50 share.
The last report of the Union Pacific
road shows that it has in its treasury
$14, 900, 600 worth of New York Cen
tral securities and it is generally be-
lieved that Mr.. Hartman and few of
his friends have large personal holdings
of New York Central securities.
The total capitalization of the New
York Central is SITS, ,632, 900 and it is
understood that the option, if exper-
cised, will give Mr.. Hartman and his
friends absolute control of the COM
pany. This carries with it the control
of the West Shore and practical con-
troll, though not by stock ownership, Of
all roads in the New York Central lines
system,

Madrid, Aug. 17.-Fighting between
the Moors and Spaniards was resumed
today at Melilla. After disastrous
week for the forces under General
Marina, during which the Moors have
kept the garrison of 3S, 900 men closely
hugging the walls of the city while
they poured shot into the Notifications
from the mountainside, Marina moved
aggressively against the tribesmen to-
day. The long expected munitions ar
rived several days ago and in spite of
the attempts of the Moors a number of
French field guns have reached Marina.

Open Bids for BattIeships.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Bids for the
construction of the two battleships,
Arkansas and Wyoming, authorized by
the last congress, were opened at the
Navy department today. These two
battleships are to be among the most
formidable fighting machines afloat
They will carry as heavy armor and as
powerful armament as any known YES
sci of their class, will have speed OF
21 knots, which is believed to be the
highest practicable for vessels of theil
type and class, and will have the high
est practicable radius of action.

C. p. r, Discovers Fraud.

Montreal, Que, Aug. 20.-The legal
department of the Canadian Pacific
railway believes it has unearthed a
huge conspiracy to mulct that and
other corporations by means of false
claims for damages for personal injury
received in alleged accidents. The
claimants are alleged to have regular
organization, with branches in Chi
cago, Toronto, Vancouver and other
places, and to carry on systematic
scheme of fraud by means of false
claims, false witnesses, etc. Three
arrests have been made and others are
promised.

NEW LEPROSY CURE.
Philippine Quarantine Officer Uses X
Ray Successfully.

Philippine Quarantine Onlcer uses X
Ray Successfully.
Washington, Aug. 21.-The X.ray
as cure for some cases of leprosy
has been demonstrated by the Ameri-
can health authorities in the Philip
pies, according to DR.. Victor D.
Heller, quarantine officer in the
islands.
DR.. Heller, in a report to Surgeon
General Wyman, of the public health
and marine hospital service, says the
X-ray is suitable only for specially
selected cases, and is valuable appar-
emily only in the earlier stages. San
Lazro hospital, at Manila, is the first
institution in the world to use the x
ray for leprosy treatment.
Official figures show that on March
81, 1909, there were 2,446 lepers in
the Philippines, segregation having
reduced by more than 1000 the num-
ber Of cases during the last two years.
At the beginning of the American oc-
cupation, II years ago, there were
nearly 1000 lepers.
Americans perfected the establish
ment for lepers on the island of Cullen
in 1906. 1t is estimated that under
the Spanish regime 700 new cases de-
veloped every year. At present the
number of new cases averages 800 an
nually.

PROBE ALASKA COAL LAND.
Hearings Soon in Seattle and Other
Cities on Alleged Frauds.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Much inter-
est was manifested here today by Inte-
rior department officials in reports from
Denver that a hearing in Seattle,
Wash, next month, will disclose proof
Of gigantic frauds in connection with
coal lands in Alaska. They declined,
in the absence of Secretary Ballinger
and General Land Commissioner Den
net, to discuss the nature of the report.
1t is learned that upwards of 700 en-
tries on coal lands in Alaska, involving
about 112, 600 acres containing valua-
Bile veins, have been suspended by the
department during the last three years.
Estimating that these entries are
worth at least 500 per acre on a
basis of l cent per ton, these coal lands
would be worth 5000, 200, 900.
Hearings will be held in other cities
in the West in addition to Seattle, but
just what ones was not disclosed.

BAKERS CRATER ACTIVE.
vapor May Be Seen Rising From the
Mountain at Times.

VdpOr way De oeen nISlnR from tne
Mountain at Times.
Bellingham, WASH, Aug. 18.-Stor-
les of smoke seen arising from Mount
Bakers snow-crowned dome following
the earthquake in this territory last
winter do not appear 80 far-fetched,
following the Investigations made by
the Mazamas of vents in the crater of
the huge extinct volcano. Secretary
John A. Lee, who returned to this city
today, declares that at a favorable
hour in the early morning he has no
doubt but that the vapor could easily
be seen from this city, so miles away,
with good pair of field glasses.
The events" in the crater appeared
especially active this year to some of
the Mazamas. Secretary Lee, how
ever, who ascended the mountain in
1900 and again in 1896, concludes that
on the whole there is not any increase
in the activity of sulphurous gases
blowing out of the so-called Events. "
"The actual crater of the mountain" "
said Mr.. Lee, "is that portion lying
between the secondary peak and the
main peak. 1t is easy to see that the
peaks originally constituted the north
and south sides of the crater rim. The
easterly and westerly sides have been
broken and crumbled away by the ac-
tion of weather, thus leaving the val
ley or so-clalled saddle between in
between.
Zone of the active vents is situated
at the easterly end of this depression,
and the other at the westerly end. The
east vent is apparently by far the most
active, the westerly one consisting at
this time merely of cracks and fssures
in the snow and ice through which the
vapors escape. The west vent, how
ever, consists of hole extending down
into the snow to the porus rocks be-
meath. 1t is perhaps 20 to 80 feet in
diameter. The vapor puffs out inter-
mittently, rising up in dense clouds,
and the snow is crusted with sulphur
deposits. I am inclined to believe that
most of the visible vapor is merely
steam arising from the overheated
rocks, though the gases sometimes are
almost overpowering.

F. Yoakum, chairman of the executive
committee of the Chicago, Rock Island

tour of the West to observe the crop
and general business conditions, said
today: 81 find business conditions are
good and improvement general all
along the line. Cotton is in good shape.
In some sections it needs rain. The
corn crop has been hurt in this state
in some sections, but there will be
more corn than last year by reason of
the increased acreage"

Washington, Aug. 20.-The acute

strikingly by the dead silence at the
Interior department and the suppressed
but all pervading atmosphere of enthu-
siasm at the forestry bureau. Assist
ant Secretary Pierce, who is back again
and is acting secretary of the Interior
department, does not care to discuss
the charges of misadministration made
against Secretary Ballinger by Chief
Forester Pinchot. Acting Commits
sioner Swartz, of the general land

Ocean Falls After Quake.

Mexico City, Aug. 20.-A delayed
dispatch from Acapulco says three Sc
we're earthquake shocks were felt there
Monday. The ocean dropped far below
the normal and along the entire shore
line of the port the beach was exposed
for distance of 80 feet. The shocks
are believed to have been those regis
tered at the Washington observatory.
The people of Acapulco are still living
in the open, not having ventured to re-
turn to their homes.
