and coal schedules that there might
be vote on them.
That such q vote might result in
placing lumber on the free list, and
that other changes sought might be
defeated, became evident in the last
few days. It was decided that the
best way in which to bring about
the changes desired was to have the
rule that is to be brought in on Mon
day restrict amendments to these
which the ways and means committee
| will report and nave that committee
for in the petition.
The following republicans were
present at the meeting:
Fordney (Mich), Cushman (Wash)
and Gaines wv. Va.), Of tae ways
and means committee. and Repre-
sentative Hughes, woodward and
Sturgis wv. Va.), Keifer, Kennedy
Johnson and Thomas (Ohio), Ellis
and Hawley (Ore.), Loud and Young
| (Mich), Moorehead, Cowles and
Grant IN. C.,, Focht, Barclay and
Wheeler (Pa.), Rowland (Utah) !,
Mondell (Wyo.), Langley >.>y.),
and Humphrey (Wash.,.
The ways and means committee to-
day, upon motion of Mr.. Fordney
decided to report an amendment
striking out the countervailing duty
proviso on lumber, and, in their po-
sition, the opposition expresses the
desire that the rule for consideration
of the tariff bill will limit amend
ments in the lumber schedule to the
proviso. This would make it impos-
sible to have vote on the question
of free lumber or to raise the duties
to what they are under the Dingley
law.
1t has been the impression that
the ways and means committee would
report an amendment placing the
same duty on scrap iron as the bill
provided for pig iron it having
been contended that no pig iron
would be imported under the pro-
places duty of fifty cents per ton
on scrap iron and a duty of $3.50
per ton on pig iron.
All republican members except
four who were present at the meet
ing which decided on the petition ex-
pressed their intention of voting
against the rule to be reported on
Monday, unless the committee offer
their amendments.

and the countervailing clause for cof-

CURED THE ROOSTER.

Belfield Ozone, April 3.-William
Meader of Belfield has been receiv-
ing many compliments the past week
on his skill as veterinary surgeon.
A few days ago a fine rooster had
a choking spell and was about to
die as a result of overlooking it's crop
with hay and other coarse food. Mr..
Meader diagnosed the case and i'm
mediately decided that an operation
was the only thing taat would save
the fowl. He opened the crop, re-
moved the contents and sewed up the
wound with silk thread. Seven
stitches were necessary to close the
cash but the bird seems to have fully
recovered and is Growing about Its
good health. #%

Az Near Al He Dared.

A couple of city. men were playing
golf when they saw an old gentleman
looking at them wistfully. They ask
ed him to join the game, which he did
with alacrity. He was mild in speech
and manner and played we'll. But
once when he had foozle he ejacu'
lated vehemently the word: "As'
souan!"
A few moments later. when he had
made another bad play, he calculated:
"Assouan!"
TIE fourth time he said this one OF
his new made friends said:
Il do not want to be inquisitive, but
will you tell me why you say 'assouan'
so often?"
WELL" said the old gentleman,
isn't that the biggest dam in the
world:"
He was a Presbyterian clergyman.

Decks strewn With Dead Birds.

Decks strewn With Dead Birds. i.
Their decks strewn with dead song
birds, the steamers Moses Taylor,
Thomas Bartum and Robert Fulton
put in here Friday after a strange and
perilous trip down from the upper
lakes. The boats were one week late.
The crews Of the BOATS report that
for days they crept cautiously along
through smoke from forest fires so
thick that one could scarcely breathe.
Thousands of birds of all descriptions
fleeing before the flames took refuge
on the boats, only to be overcome by
the dense smoke. They were shov.
eled of the decks by the hundred.
Enough of them were left to substan-
tate the story when they came to
port.

Auto Trucks
A Success
K. R. R. Co. Goes After Out
side Expressage.

The Kahului Railroad Company
received two three ton auto trucks
last Saturday and at once put them
into commission.
The trucks are manufactured by
Mack Brothers of Allentown, Penn
sylvania, and were set up by J.'F.
Strobe, who is in the employ of the
manufacturers
On Sunday Mr.. Strobe brought
a load of Kahului residents to see
the ball game. The car was as
much of an attraction as the game
for a while as II car of that class
had never been seen here before.
The cars will be used as feeders
for the Kahului Railroad Company
and independently of the road
when loads can be handled more
cheaply by that means.
The cars have a carrying capac-
ity OF three tons each. They are of
sixty horsepower and travel at a
speed of from twelve to fourteen
miles an hour.
One day this week one of the
trucks moved forty tons of freight
in four hours from the upper to the
lower depot in Paia. The Superin.
tendent of the railroad i much
pleased with the result of the work
done.
The railroad company will now
be ready to make rates for the deli
very of freight from the vessels
side to anywhere in Wailuku, Paia
and other central places on Maui

Supt. HOsmer and DR..
NOrgaard are Vindicated.

The Legislature has established
a sensible precendent in connec-
tion with the criticism that was
directed against the Bureau of
Agriculture and Forestry. The So
called ''charge3' against Superin-
tendent Hosmer and DR.. Norgaard
were found, on investigation, to be
so childish that they did not war;
rant consideration at the hands of
the special committee appointed
by the President of the Senate.
In the course of its report the COM
mittee lays down the dictum that
persons wishing to accuse any
official of malfeasance should pre-
sent their case in regular form to
the Legislature, and not address
letters to individual members of
the. Legislature, with vague in
timations and suggestions of crim-
inality that, even if justified, might
fail of receiving proper consideia-
ttion by reason of the inadequate
way of submitting them.
If the charges against Superin-
tendent Hosmer and DR.. Norgaard
were as represented there would
have been ground for proceedings
against those two officials. The
only result, however, of the COM
mittee's investigation is to show
that the Bureau of Agriculture
and Forestry has been more than
ordinarily careful in adhering to
the rules of the department.-Ad-
vertiser.

Jury Trial
For CathCart
A Jury Will Try the County
Attorney.

Honolulu, April 23.-The case of
John W. Cathcart, charged with as
saulting a Chinese named Goo Wan
Hoy, was called at the Police Court
this morning.
Mr.. Cathcart at once claimed the
right of a jury trial, and as this ac-
ton took the matter out of Judge
Andrade's hands, he of course COM
mitted the case to the Circuit Court
for trial. If the Grand Jury finds
against Mr.. Cathcart, he will secure
the desired jury trial at the next
term of the court.
A. S. Humphreys, who appeared
to assist the prosecution, remarked: :
So that everything will be in order,
| suggest that bond be issued in this
case" !"
Judge Andrade at once fixed the
bond at $50. Mr.. Cathcart then in
quired in mild voice: May |
leave the court and look up bonds
men, Your Honor? ! will return
later on in the day" Judge An
drade assented to this with smile,
and Mr.. Cathcart departed to find
sureties.
There is lot of animus against
Cathcart involved in the case, and
it will probably be manipulated tc
put Cathcart in the most unsavory
light possible.
ID. Kalauokalani, Jr., the County
Clerk, has gone on the bond of Mr.
Cathcart for the amount of $50.

as he is a hard man to find will un
doubtedly keep the batters guessing
what is coming next.

popular second-baseman is not ex-
peeted to appear on the diamond for
Sundays game. BILLY" was mar
ried in Honolulu last Thursday to
Miss Hilda Robertson and is expect
ed to arrive home by the Clandine
this morning.
The Star bunch has been at prac-
tice and is confident of victory. In
fact, the only bets obtainable are
that the Stars will not white wash
the Kahuluis again.
There are quite number of per-
sons who try to beat their way in or
else stand on the outskirts of the
field and witness the game from
there to save the price Of an admis-
sion. A stop should be made and
the police will be asked to aid the
Association in collecting admissions.
No charge is made by the As
sociation to children on the grounds
but there are many who take adj
vantage of the free admission and
take up room in the grand stand to
the dctriment of people who have
paid there admission.
The use of vulgar remarks by per
sons on the grand stand should b,
stopped and undoubtedly the Off
cials of the Association will takC
steps in the future to remove from
the grand stand any person using
improper language toward the play
ers. The players are in the game
for the sport in it and expect there
by to entertain the public and it i
certain that ugly remarks do no
tend to assist sport.

Stars Again
Victorious
Win from the Healanis by a
Score Of I 10 z.

There was not large attendance
at Wells Park last Sunday to wit
ness the game between the Healanis
and Morning Stars and those not
present are now sorry, for the two
teams put up the best game of base
ball played this season.
The game was lively one from
start to finish and although the
Stars outclassed their opponents
they could not keep them from
scoring and the game closed with
the score reading Z to 2 in favor OF
Stars.
The Hcalanis were held down un-
til the eighth inning. Cockett reach
ed first on a safe hit. Kama hunted
to pitcher who fumblcd and Cockett
got to second. Waiwaiole lined q
pretty one between first and secand
scoring both men but was forced
out ut home.
In the seventh inning the first
hit was made off Upton and with
three in the eighth were all he al
lowed them.
II. Meyer did the slab work for
the Hcalanis. Ten hits were made
off him, six of which were two-bag-
gers. He is coming twirlcr and
with good support should show up
well.
E. E. Meyers. the Star catcher,
played a fine game and only one
man stole second on him. He is
improving daily and it will take a
fast runner and good base stealel
to beat him to second for he not
only has fast delivery but has a
good wing.
The following is the summary OF
the game:

The Kona Tobacco Co. has recently
decided to double its capitalization,
which, under the new arrangement, will
amount to $50, 900. The first crop of Kona
tobacco, consisting of sixty bales, Twill
probably be dispatched to the mainland
this month. This is the first consign-
ment of Hawaiian tobacco and as the
quality is high, satisfactory prices may
be ex pected. The enlarged capital of the
company will permit of greatly extended
acreage with corresponding increase IN
output. Altogether the prospect for
Hawaiian tobacco is distinctly good and
we look to see tobacco record itself among
the Hawaiian industries which have
established themselves on a substantial
basis in the shortest ime.-Forester.

McKeen Car Shops
is Looking for
More Ground
Needs Greater Space for It's Plant and
Other Cities Want to
Get It.

The McKeen Motor Car compan IL look
ing for more room. The demand for cars
from this company, which manufactures
the X gasoline motor, are so great
that the present quarters are entirely in
adequate and something will have to be
done.
When the McKeen Motor Car company
was made a separate institution from the
Union Pacific that road leased to the
McKeen company the old car shops, which
were not needed by the Union Pacific,
when the new car shops were completed.
There is a demand for the MoReen motor
cars all over the country and more room
must be had.
Council Bluffs is making a bid to have
the shops moved to that town where ample
room may be had. Indianapolis is also after
the shops. The McKeen company is con-
sidering the manufacture of a gasoline
hunting car fitted with berths and a culin-
airy department. Locomotives for switching
cars around large manufacturing plants
will soon be manufactured.
The McKeen company is also manufac-
turing engines which are used In motor
cars In use on some of the other large
railway systems OF the country.
