HAWAII FACES
LABOR CRISIS
TerritoriaI Board Is Baffled as All Ex-
periments FaiI-Foreigners
Throw Up Plantation
Jobs on All Pretexts
Associated Pressl

HONOLULU, March 3.-Another ex-
nerinent bv the Hawaiian board of i'm
migration in its efforts to tind a solu-
tion for the labor problem in the IS
lands appears to be failure. AFTER
importing Spaniards, Portuguese for-
to Ricans and South Sea islanders, all
of whom proved unsatisfactory or left
the plantations dissaushed with tle
wages and conditions, the planters
turned 10 the Philippines and to 81
IBERIA for immigrants.
Four hundred Russians, men, woin-
en- and children, who were brought mere
on the last steamer from the orient
bv the territorial board of immigra-
ton. remain camped at the wharf and
refuse to go to work on the sugar
plantations for which purpose they
were imported. They assert that as an
inducement for them to come 10 the
islands the agents of the Immigration
hoard at Harbin said that they would
receive S45 a month, double the sum
that is being offered them here. Also
MAT they have been told by former
Russian immigrants that the planta-
tion work is hard, cost of living hlSh'
and that they were compelled TO puy
their provisions and supplies at the
plantation stores at high prices leaN-
ing them in debt to the planters at
the end of the month.
Another source of DISSATISFACTION
Nth the Russians is the complaint that
the houses assigned to them are unit.
The children were fed today by char
itably disposed people of Honolulu.
There is some indication of riotous out
breaks among the disappointed imml-
grants, and the authorities are very
much puzzled to know just Wnat l&.,,s(,, ac-
zion to take. United States Attorney
p w Beckons stated if the Russians

The immigrants employed an attor-
ney to day and may appeal TO the
Russian consuls at San Francisco ana
Yokohama.
Another party of Russians are eX-
nected TO arrive on the seamer Korea
next Monday, and it is feared they
also will refuse to go to work on the
plantations at the terms offered.

TEMPTS
TAFT TO DANCE
SPEAKER AND PRESIDENT IN
TERPSlCHOREAN TEST
Uncle Joe Issues Challenge, and, Fol-
lowing White House Dinner,
Highland Fling and
Hoedown Given
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March 3.-While
more than fifty guests looked on and
applauded Speaker Cannon tempted
President Tart tonight to test of
terpsichorean agility i'll the east room
of the White House Both stopped,
painting, when the trial was ended, but
the opinion was unanimous that honors
were even. Dancing followed dinner
given by the president to Uncle Joe,
said to be the first formal affair ever
accorded a speaker of the house by
president.
The dinner ended, the company went
to the east room, which boasts an
ample and smooth dancing floor. An
orchestra played a gentle waltz and
the president led off with Mrs. Joseph
II. Gaines, wife of the representative
from West Virginia. The speaker,
with Mrs. Laughlin, sister of Mrs,
Taft, glided out on the polished floor
in the wake of his chief
In the intermission, however, when
the orchestra struck up a lively tune,
Uncle Joe" stepped briskly into the
middle of the room and brought his
heels sharply together. There was
patting of gloved hands and voices
called encouragingly to the guest of
honor. In a moment the speakers
heels were twinkling in a brilliant
Highland fling.
Excellent, eh?" he called exultingly
to Mr.. Taft. Il was something OF
dancer when l was a youngster.'
For an answer Mr.. Taft stepped ror-
ward and those present say the two
executed several steps of an old-fash-
ioned hoedown. Both were putting

TRUTH ABOUT YUMA IS
BEING TOLD TO THR0NGS

The truth about Yuma and the pos
sibilities of the productiveness of the
lands surrounding 1t are being pre-
sented to large crowds daily at the
Peck Judah company lecture room, 553
South Spring street, by series OF
illustrated lectures delivered by S. E.
Epler, secretary Yuma County Com
mercial club.
The lecture deals in full with all
lands under the Yuma Project, includ-
ing the Indian reservation lands that
were thrown open to entry March l,
and which have been the cause of much
adverse comment as to the manner in
which the registration and filing were
made.
There are eighty-five colored trans
parencies of the Colorado river through
the Grand Canyon of Arizona TO the
arid lands of the new southwest.
The Commercial club of Yuma has
undertaken this work that the public
generally may become acquainted with
the real conditions existing in that ter
ritory; for while there is plenty of
good country available for farming
purposes, it must not be overlooked
that the cost of bringing much of 1t
into a state of fruition will be more
than many homeseekers with limited
capital can afford, and it is to prevent
any adverse criticisms from those who
go there, without knowing the condi-
tions. only to be disappointed and then
returning to other sections will have
no good word for Yuma or the district.
In many cases it will be cheaper for
prospective settlers to purchase some
of the new lands outright from repu-
table realty dealers, for the most or
such lands have water on them al
ready developed.
These lectures begin each evening at
O'Clock and will be continued daily
up to and including March 7.

Brazil, ITS RICHNESS
AND INDUSTRIES
A New Book Setting Forth Its Politi'
cal and Industrial Development

Few persons are aware of the extreme
richness of the United States OF Brazil,
the largest and most important OF the
South American republics, and to sup
Div full historical and industrial infor-
nation, the government of that country
has had prepared a voluminous work in
two volumes which is shortly to make
its appearance IN English.
In 1oo5, the Brazilian Minister of
Means, transportation, Industry and
Public Works ordered the preparation Of
this work, and it was accomplished after
three years arduous labor under the di-
rection of DR.. Vieira Souto, Professor
OF the Polytechnic School of Rio de
.Janiero, and at present Director OF the
Mission of Economic Expansion with
offices in Paris, France. The work was
first published in Portuguese, then trans
lated into French, and has just been pre-
pared afresh in English II IS IN two
volumes of 1000 pages each, copiously
illustrated.
The work describes in detail the ex-
traordinary rapidity with which the po-
1itical and industrial development Of
fhe country has gone forward, and
in the section devoted to the conquest
of the soil it reads like a great 70
nance of adventure. The manner in
which Brazil has taken hold of and
solved her question OF public health
might serve as lesson to the nations,
for she has driven out the yellow fever
scourge completely, bringing her NOR
tality tables down far below those of any
European city. The Rio de Janeiro fig
ure now standing at POI, the European
nveraoe running to 26S
Within the space of "a years the pop
ulation of Brazil has gone up from some
100000 to over 100000, an increase
of over one hundred per cent In 1908,
her exports were 185 millions, and four
years later had risen to 272 millions.
Every phase of industry has gone for
ward rapidly, and the great republic
with 10000 square miles more territory
than the United States, is coming rap
idly to the front among the nations, for
her richness of resource is almost be-
vond belief. The new book will be ready
Eor distribution within few weeks.

Father Of Mrs. Vaughn Dies Of 5rok.

Monroe City, M. Proctor, one Of
the wealthiest residents of north Mis-
souri,, died at his home in Monroe
City. He was 73 years old. Mr.. Proc
tor was the father of Mrs. Alma Proc
tor Vaughn, indicted jointly with Dr..
James B. Hull of Monroe City, on a
charge of poisoning her husband, Pro-
lessor John Thomas Vaughn, of the
chair of American history at the
Kirksville State Normal school, and
widely known as an educator and au-
thor.
The accusation against his daugh-
ter, whom he idolized on account Of
her wit and beauty, is believed to
have fastened her death. Mr.. Proc
tor had suffered from heart disease
for several years, but few months
before Mrs. Vaughn was indicted he
had been greatly improved. Friends
believe that the immediate cause of
his death was broken heart over the
accusation against his daughter, whom
he could believe to be only innocent.

Nightwatchman Hipler, passing, heard
Jip whining, and found the animal i'm
prisoned under a heavy tarpaulia.
The bulldog led him to the third floor,
where he found the staircase ablaze.
Subsequent investigation showed there
were no electric wires and no steam
