Pioneer has led in activity both on
and the stock boards sincce yesterday
morning. This was however to be
expected. There were those who pre-
dicted boom figures for this stock dur
ing today, but such have not appeared,
although the stock is strong and in
clined upward. Between boards, 5
shares sold at 1884. rs, followed by 10
at $1S5. The latter figure seemed to
form the basis of transactions on the
board, 6, Z, Is and 20 shares bringing
it. At the close of the morning ses-
sion $1S4.75 was offered for the stock,
but holders demanded $1S5.50.
Between boards 15 and So shares of
Olaa sold at $5.75 and the stock APP
peared strong. On Change this morn
ing So 1925 was offered for the stock,
but none was to be had for less than
So.
A large block of Honokaa, 100 shares,
sold on the streets at $19.25. The
same was offered for more but holders
demanded $19 So
Two side sales were $4,000 Waialua
fives, on the street, at $100.75, on a
basis of the last previous sale; and
shares o. R. & L. Co. at $135.
Between boards some brewery stock
found buyers, l25 and so shares selling
at 1874, an advance from 1923, caused,
doubtless by the settlement of the diff
ferences between the Brewery and the
police department.

Last night it was found impossible
To reach any vessel at sea except
the Korea, which was close in; and
she was only picked up after many
unsuccessful efforts to reach her.
This morning messages for the other
islands were received. but no pro-
misses were given as to when they
would be gotten through.

about a week ago." stated Manager

worst yesterday afternoon and last
night, when our entire system was

it was only occasionally that we
could get word through. Steamers
in talking distance of the islands
cannot be reached We only picked
up the Korea last night when she
was close to Oahu.
Manager Balch could not, of course,
forecast when the trouble worId De
over Were it a case of wires OF
poles, he could figure; but when IL
comes to Gods business The wireless
wizard politely but urgently insists
upon sidestepping In the mean
while, a large number of messages
for the other islands and for ships
at sea have piled up in the local Of

Against American Bank :
ing Co, Of Boston
Brought in Connection With
The birmingham ForgeTies.
Two More hoies for $4,000 Pre-
sented to the Town Wednesday.

Cambridge, Mass. Cc, 2C-The fact
that Il bill in equity 4. ainst the Amer
lean Banking Co. of Boston mad been
filed IN the office of the clerk Of The su-
perior court here became known late
today. While it was rumored that it
had some connection with the disclos-
rreS ot the past few days regarding
the issue Of alleged forged town notes
by Town Treasurer John B. Lombard
of birmingham, as a result OF which
Treasurer Charles S. Cummings and
Agent Edward A. Mead of the Amer
lean Banking Co. were yesterday held
to await the action of the grand jury
on charges of larceny, this report could
not be verified tonight. Even the name
of the person who filed the bill was
withheld. 1t was understood that the
nature Of the bill would be made public
tomorrow forenoon.
A conference was held this afternoon
between the district attorney, Sydney
A. Phillips, Lombards counsel, and
Town Solicitor Walter Adams of Fran
ingham here, in the office of District
Attorney John J. Higgins of MiddleseX
county. None of those present would
divulge the nature of the discussions.
District Attorney Higgins said, how
ever, that he did not expect that any
more arrests would be made at present
in connection with the case.

Morse's Counsel Busy
II Hunting ,loopho|es
Through Which to Attack De-
cision Of Circuit Court.
Prisoner in Daily Conference at
Tombs With Former Associates.

New York, Oct 2o.-Martin w. Lit
Teton, counsel for Charles w. Morse
the banker now in the Tombs under
sentence Of 10 years in the Atlanta
prison. was busy today at the Bar AS
sociation preparing his appeal to the
United States supreme court. Mr.. Lit
Teton is practically locked away from
the public at the rooms of the Ban
Association and with his clerks is re-
viewing the S090-Word decision of the
circuit court of appeals, which affirm
ed MorScS sentence in the lower court.
If there is q loophole through which
he may attack it in his appeal to the
supreme court for q writ of certiorari
on which to base q new trial, Morse
counsel says he will find it. II is not
likely that the case will find it's way
to Washington for a week or 10 DAYS
yet, according to Mr.. Littleton's plans
If the supreme court does not grant
this request and send the case back
to the federal courts for a new trial
Mr.. Morse will have to begin imme-
diately the serving of the 15-year SEN
tence.
Morse is in daily conference with
some of his former business associates.
who visit him in the Tombs. Some of
these men will probably look after his
interests during his long stay ir pris-
on if he has to serve his sentence.

Aroused in Narragansett
Bay Shipping Circles
By Plan for Inland Waterway
To the Gulf Of Mexico.
Boats Of Light Draft Can 60 from
Westerly, r. l., to Beaufort, n. c.

Newport, r. l., Oct. 20-The convention
at Norfolk next month of the Atlantic
Inland Waterways Association, which
meets for the third years to discuss more
sheltered routes for coastwise shipping
from Boston and the gulf of Mexico is
arousng great interest in shipping cir
ces of Narragansett bay. 1t is expected
ttat Governor Pother will appoint a com
mittee of members of the Legislature to
represent this state at the meeting
The last Congress ordered surveys of
the entire line, and two boards have been
at work, one covering the coast between
Boston and Beaufort N. c., while the
others is working south from that city.
AS is we'll known, it is possible to go
from Westerly, r. l., to Beaufort with
out venturing into the Atlantic ocean,
but this route, which takes in a num-
Der of little canals, is only available for
small boats of shallow draft.
The Cape Cod canal now in process of
construction is included in the general
scheme. The national commission has
also taken into consideration the prop
osition of connecting Boston harbor with
Narragansett bay by a canal from Wey
mouth through Brockton and Bridgewater
to the headwaters of the Taunton river.
The proposed Rhode Island canal seeks
to eliminate the dangers of Point Judith
by cutting across the so-called south
county and connecting Narrangansett bay
with Long Island sound.
1t is expected that much of the gov
eminent survey of all these routes will
be available when the commission meets
at Norfolk on Nov. II, is and 10.

WHOLESALE CHEATING
BY Customs Weighers at New York
Confessed by One on Stand.

New York, oct. 20.-Eight years of
systematic and exceedingly profitable
cheating of the United States govern
ment was described today by George
f. Birge, a customs Weigher who was
called as a witness in the trial of An
tonic and Philip Musica, cheese i'm
porterS.
After describing how he under
weighed q large importation of cheese
for the Musicas and received 1874 as
his share of the profits, he said that
he had similar dealings with hundreds
of other firms of importers. Not all
he said, were such big cases as the
transaction with the MusicaS, but
there was a regular system of cheat
ing in which a number of customs en-
ployes were involved. Birge is one of
three Weighers who has confessed and
is teStifying for the government.
The frauds in the importation of
sugar. which We're aired some time
ago in the governments suits aGainst
the American Sugar Refining Co. We're
again brought up in Birge'S testimony.
He said that prior to his operations
for the MuSicaS and others he was al
most exclusively employed in under
weighing and cheating in behalf of the
sugar people,

Caused by Typhoon Which

Many Casualties from Typhoon
On the Chinese Coast.

Manila, Oct 20-A typhoon of I'M
usual severity swept across northern
and central Luzon Sunday night. Wire
communication with alk points beyond
Dagupan, LuZOn, was cut off and de-
tails are lacking. TOrrential rains ac-
companied the storm and an extensive
area was flooded. The railroad bed
was washed out at several points and
one railway station was swept away.
Later reports indicate that the de-
struction wrought by the typhoon is
even greater than at first believed The
famous Benguet road, extending 20
miles from Dagupan to Baguo, where
the government has established a
summer capital and health resort, has
been so damaged that probably $3.50, 900
will be required for it's repair. 1t is
reported that two suspension bridges
over gOrges have been carried away
No reports have yet been received
from the provinces of Union and

storm. There is no information from
which to base an estimate OF the pos
sible loss of life. -
