Ashes of Buddha Found.

Excavations conducted by the arch
geological department OF the Indian
government near Peshawar, the Brit
ish stronghold near the frontier Of
Afghanistan, have resulted in the dis
covery of an ancient Buddhist memoir
iaI mound, containing a bronze casket,
within which are some of the ashes Of
Gautama Buddha, the founder of
Buddhism. They are inclosed in
a wrought hexagonaI rock crystal re-
ceptacIe, sealed wit hthe royal seal of
the Emperor Kanishka, who was rul-
ing in Peshawar at the opening of the
Christian era.

ashes divided in eight parts among his

British Museum. zone of the vases
containing these portions, known as
the Piprahwa vase was discovered a
few years ago by the government sur

claimants of relics of this founder of
a great religion, and each portion of
ment AS these mounds were known
to contain rich work of art and other
treasures, as well as records of great
value to the historian, a search for
them has been actively prosecuted.
Buddha is believed to have been a
prince in a petty nation south of Ne
pal, and was born near the beginning
of the sixth century B. C. He was
named Siddhartha, and was also known
as Sakya, his family name, and eau

Territory of Hawaii will go--or rather
to what lengths the special prosecutors
will go, proclaimed Attorney J. Light
foot before Judge Robinson yesterday.
MIR. Lightfoot was arguing in sup
port of motion he had just made for
the discharge of the respondents in the
contempt case-Makino, Negoro and
| their associates.
| Sidney Ballou at once objected TO
the statement. ave are not special

alt all amounts to the same thing
responded Lightfoot, referring, OF
course, to his belief that although the
firm of Kinney, Ballou, Prosser and
Anderson is in this instance appear
ing as the representatives of the Oahu
Sugar Company, the contempt proceed
ings are part of the campaign against
Maxine and the other strike leaders.
"We are asked to make bricks with
out straw continued Lightfoot. "We
can t do it, for we have only one straw,
this poor dew, this poor fellow,
Oyama.
Early yesterday morning Lightfoot
presented his motion for the discharge
, of the respondents in the matter Of the
order to show cause, on the ground
that the prosecutors had not succeeded
in making out any case against them.
{ He argued the matter all afternoon,

for its tactics, which he said were
merely efforts,to get the strike leaders

ONE EMPTY WHISKEY BARREL
COSTS A HUNDRED DOLLARS

One hundred dollars was the price for
which a whisky barrel sold yesterday
morning. And it was just an ordinary
barrel, too, one of the common or gar.
den variety. The hoops were not silver
plated nor was the bung a gold plug.
There was nothing about the barrel TO
distinguish il from any other piece of
cooperage manufactured for similar pur-
poses. But there were u few uncan-
celed Internal Revenue stamps on it.

ONE HUNDRED STRIKERS
NOW IN THIS CITY

There are now about 100 Japanese
strikers remaining in town. A large
majority of them are to be seen hang
ing around the japanese employment of
fees, evidently hoping that they may
find work without returning to the plan
tations which they deserted. The es-

Ichigi was credited with being one of

HEART BURNING AMONG
GOVERNMENT SERVANTS

Notwithstanding the fact that Mayor
Fern is quoted as denying that there is
any pilikia over the luau, the fact re-
mains that there is much heart-burning
among the government employees about
the Capitol who have been left off the
invitation list and that some of them
are extremely sore about 1t. 1t is
possible that the pilikia may be more
apparent in the future than it is now.
No one in the Governor IS office out

Mott.Smith and Chief Clerk Matheson
has been favored with one of the covet'
ed invitations. Even Henry O'Sulli'
van, who sits on the lid when his three
superiors happen to be away, is not

Attorney Generals department, except
the Attorney General himself and has
deputies, has also been forgotten. The
same is true of some of the other de-
partments. Consequently the insouci'

was reached the passengers felt the
brakes being jammed down tight. There
was big danger but it was missed by
an ace.
AS the cars approached the plantation
track a locomotive was seen rushing
down toward Puuloa over the sugar
company's track. The driver of the
special, as he cane up toward the sta
ton, saw the flying engine and he did
everything that is required of him to
bring his train to a standstill. He acted
none too soon, for his cowcatcher was
within foot OF the rear of the sugar
locomotive at the crossing. The plan
tation engine had not slackened its
speed, which was fortunate, for if it
had, the plantation engine would have
struck the first passenger car squarely
in the center.
