Gruesome Tragedy Near Phoebe.

A tragedy. enacted somewhere
within the confines of this district, is
the mute story told by three skeletons
~unearthed in the bottom of a 5o-foot
shaft on the property of the Cali
fornia Phoebe Mining company by
William Wheatley and his son. Eben
Wheately. last Saturday. says the
Phoebe Record.
One of the skeletons is that of a
man: another that of a woman;
while the third is that of a dog;
whom the perpetrators of the deed
probably threw into the shaft TO
cover up the last trace of a double
crime. On top of these gruesome re-
mains were piled several feet of
large rocks and boulders which give
unmistakable evidence that the vic
tins were murdered in cold blood.
The bones were badly rotted. but
the skull of the woman. containing
IN ugly fracture just above where
one Of the earl should be, was ex-
eeedingly well preserved. The mans
skull was broken into several pieces.
Nothing wae left IN the way or iden-
fifcation. so completely did the
murderers plan and execute the
horrible deed. So it Is probable that
II viii never be known who the per
sons were whose bodies have reposed
in the shaft undiscovered for years
and it is equally certain that the
names Of their exeeutioners will
never come I 0 light.
The shaft Is located in a lonely
guleh about fifty yards below the
main works Of the California Phoebe
mine.

the Nationals and White Sox yesterday
afternoon, and the visitors came out on
the long end of the farce. 1t was good
game for little while only, but in the
third the SoX began to hit Johnson, and
they continued to annoy him until after

to retire in the sixth. Johnson gave four
bases on balls in this inning and was hit
safely once, forcing in one run. walker

during the remainder Of the game.

CHICAGO. Ill, May 11.-Frank Gotch.
the champion wrestler, and James JEFF
fries, the prize fighter, have become in
volved in controversy over the services
of Farmer" Burns, but SO far Jeffries
seems to have the advantage.
According to word from Minneapolis.
where Gotch is doing preliminary train
ing for his battle with Zbyszke. the mat
champion is displeased over the refusal
OF Jeffries to allow Burns to leave Row
ardennan to come to Chicago. Gotch
wants Burns to help him train, and
says that unless Jeffries changes his
mind Goteh will not join him at his
training camp to help him prepare for
his encounter with Johnson. Gotch S

but before going wired to Rowardennan
that Burns would be expected in Chica go

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY j. ED GRILLO.

Under no circumstances is anything &C
complished by the old cry Of Take hin
out" when pitcher is not working
satisfactorily, for no manager allows
himself to be influenced in this way. But
under existing conditions on the loca
team such demands are absolutely alb
surd If McAIeer was blessed with lo'
of good pitchers he would perhaps moi
hesitate to make a change as soon as he
saw one of his twirlers slipping in a
game, but with not single pitcher In
form little can be accomplished by max
ing a switch, and the bowls of a few
fanatics do nothing more than discourage
the individual who is trying to pitch.
There was a time when a two-run lead
almost assured victory for any one OF
several OF the local pitchers. but that
was in the day when Washington had
pitchers il nothing else. Conditions are
just the reverse now. A few runs mean
absolutely nothing, for there does not
appear to be q pitcher on the local stan
who can hold the opposing teams down
to a normal number of runs.
It is all right to change pitchers, but IL
should be done with the object of stop,
no man that McAleer has at his com
mand has proven capable Of filling that
bill.
There is nothing which puts pal
game on the blink effectively as a
pitcher without control. 1t takes the life
out of a team, and sets the spectators
to yawning Had the Sox earned tnelt
runs by hitting or made them through
misplays of Johnson's support in that
sixth inning yesterday it would have
been a better ball game to look at than
1t was, but this thing Of starting pro-
cession from the plate to first without
ever seeing a bat swung is nothing short
of sickening 1t cuts out eight men OF
a team, who are compelled TO stand
helplessly by and see player after player
walk to his base without ever onerfng
a chance to make a play. One would
not think it possible that pitcher OF
several years experience would be able
to pitch so many balls without getting
any of them over the plate. 1t is one
of the best indications that there is some
thing wrong with the Nationals star
twirler.
There is lot to the system of building
I'D a ball team with young material. If
YOU are successful you have a ball team
FOR a few years at least, while il you
RELY on veterans you can never look for
IMPROVEMENT. and il you should be sue
cessful X is only a question of a very
short time when you have to start fgur-
ing how to bolster up your team, for the
old fellows are bound to slide after a
while.
True, as a rule these teams of young
sters do not cut much OF figure right

TRYING TO
STOP FIRE

In an endeavor last night to squelch
an incipient blaze under the new
structure in process of erection at
Hotel and Richards streets where the
University Club is putting up a new
home, James Dougherty strained the
ligaments of his left leg and is today
hobbling around with the assistance
of koa cane.
Jimmy was returning home from
the Opera House, through the capitol
grounds, when he saw flame under
the buildings in process of erection
! above noted. Calling for the watch
man and receiving no response, jim
my made a rush to extinguish the
fire and fell down an open sewer
landing on lot of old pipe and rub
bish. When he recovered from thl
shock the flames had been extin-
guished by somebody else, probably
by the Waterman.

TALK Of
DEPLETED YIELDS

In the past few days rumors have
been persistently circulated on the
streets to the effect that several
plantations would not come UP to
estimates Of their respective manage
ments during this campaign in the
matter of sugar tonnage. These re-
ports have run farther and been en-
larged on on account of the failure VI
anything like official denial or expla-
nation.
Among the plantations mentioned
as falling short of the estimates are
Oahu and Eva. In respect to the
former it has been stated that the
yield would go as low as $4,000, as
against the original estimate Of 3d.
900.
While no absolute facts can be as
sembled at this time, the statement
that Oahu will fall so short of the
estimate is not to be accepted. Some
time ago there were sections of cane
which ran below the average in SUI
gar, but there has since been an i'm
provement, and if this Improvement
continues, there is a good prospect
of the estimate being fulfilled.
| In view of the "talk" that has been
going the rounds, local agencies have
requested new estimates on the yield
of several plantations, and the nu-
merous questions will likely find Off
cial answer in the next few days
In the meanwhile any and all reports
of shortages may be accepted with
considerable salt.

THE FUNCTION Of
AMERICAN COTTON

Hawaiian growers of cotton should
receive with interest the following
statements made by j. X. Bythell,
chairman of the board of the Man
chester ship canal, before the recent
semi-annual meeting of the badly, re-
specting immense increase in the de-
mand for cotton:
THE quantity of cotton required to
keep the worlds spindles going is so
colossal that it is only when we have
an American crop of a size which
would have been thought incredible
years ago that the spindles can be
kept going
1T is really amazing that America
sh uld have increased her production
of cotton in the space of thirty-fve
years from about 100000 bales to
the 100000 bales which last seasons
crop almost reached. The question of
what America can do in the future is
very important not only for this dis
trict but for the whole world.
Can America continue to increase
her production to such an extent as
to keep going the constantly ihcreas-
ing number of spindles throughout the
world? India and Egypt are growing
larger quantities of cotton, but ex-
perience has shown that their capacity
for increased production is relatively
small compared with America.
THE British Cotton Growing asso-
citation is doing excellent work, especi-
ally in Africa and it is no disparage-
ment to their efforts to state that it
does not seem likely that within n
few years time Africa will be able to
produce, say million bales.
eff the spindles of the world re-
quire, as they will require, an increase
of millions of bales during the next
ten years it appears to me that it is
to America, and practically only to
America, that we can look"
THE MATTHEW TURNER
Work Of discharging the Matthew
Turner is going on at Kahului today.
So far no damage to the cargo has
been discovered but it is not unlike
" that there is water at the bottom,
and that there will be some loss in
consequence.

CLEWS ON GENERAL
MAINLAND TRADE

General trade is fairly active, -
says Henry Clews in his financial let
ter of the oath. Here and there weak
spots may be found, especially where
an excessive advance in prices has
checked consumption and distribution.
Cotton goods have already receded
somewhat, owing to the conditions
just named, and the decline was quick
ly followed by a better demand for
fabrics. Our cotton manufacturers,
however, are still embarrassed by the
high price of raw material. In the
wooden industry the large mills are
generally busy, but some of the small
err concerns are suffering from a pau
city of orders.
"The iron and steel trade is in good
form, and the outlook promising. Lat
er on the railroads are sure to be
heavy buyers of equipment and other
materials, and this industry will be
stimulated by recent security issues
more than any other. In other
branches of trade a conservative
spirit is displayed, owing to the high
level Of prices which induces caution
on the part of bankers in making ad-
vances, and prevents distribution from
carrying large stocks.
"The commercial outlook, however,
is generally satisfactory. Thus far
agricultural prospects are equally so.
Farmers are enjoying almost unpre-
cedenter prosperity and appear to be
cedented prosperity and appear to be
their produce back for the highest
possible results. Whether or not they
will overreach themselves in this re-
spect remains to be seen.
"The new crops are not very far
distant, and there is a point beyond
which it will be imprudent for produc-
ers to hold their product from the mar
ket. 1t will not do, moreover, to over
look that the high cost of living and
the high tariff are producing a strong
undercurrent of political disquiet. A
renewed period of tariff agitation is
almost certain, but this is matter Of
the distant future, and may not have
any immediate bearing upon the stool
market"
