MAN FROM HAWAII
A PHILIPPINE MYSTERY

A letter was received in Honolulu
last night from A. F. Thayer, who has
been reported by cable from Manila as
buying lands in the Philippines for the
Dillingham; company of Honolulu. AS
far as is known, the letter does not ex-
plain the mystery of whom he is act
ing for, which is local puzzle in view
of the fact that the Dillinghams have
denied that he is their agent.
Thayer' IS letterhead is the "Calamba
Estate Sugar Company, A. F. Thayer,
Manila representative, - but he says
nothing that viii clear up the eonnec-
tion with the Dillingham; company
which lie claims in Manila, but which is
denied here.
Mr.. Thayer's family is now in Ba-
guio, the "summer capital" of the is,
lands. He is said to have purchased
another auto besides the one he took
with him, doubtless on the account of
his company, whatever It is, and seems
to be prospering.

TUG lR0QU0IS TO
BE AN OIL BURNER

The United States navy tug Iroquois,
which went to San Francisco some
months ago for general repairs, is to
be converted into an oil burner before
being sent back to Honolulu. In the
merchant marine such a step would be
taken merely as an evidence of good
business Judgment, so conclusively has
the advantage of liquid fuel over coal
been demonstrated.
In the navy, however, the decision
to convert the Iroquois is a radical de-
parture from old methods, and is par
ticularly interesting for the reason that
it is believed to be the first practical
step toward the general adoption by the
navy of liquid fuel, for the smaller
boats at any rate. The Iroquois will
be the second naval vessel on the Coast
to be so equipped.
The Iroquois is to be equipped with
two Babcock & Wilcox boilers of APP
proved Annapolis design, and viii have
a fuel capacity of 25,650 gallons. The
cost of repairs will be more than
$4,000.

Railroad Bill Passes Senate
by a Very Large
Majority.
HE REPUBLICANS UNANIMOUS
Six Democrats Vote With Them
Railroads Threaten
Bankruptcy.

WASHINGTON, June 4-After
twelve weeks of debate and considera-
tion, the railroad regulation bill reach
ed a vote in the senate today, and the
administration won a sweeping victory
Party lines were to a considerable
extent ignored in the vote on the much
discussed measure, for not only all the
insurgent Republicans, but six Demo
Gratis voted for it. The bill had the
unanimous Republican vote and the
count showed ifty-two votes for it and
only twelve against.
CHICAGO, June A statement has
been issued by the publicity bureau of
the railways, to the effect that many
roads will be forced into bankruptcy if
not allowed to increase their rates
The statement discusses pending in
junction proceedings to stop an increase
in rates and says that if such proceed
ings are sustained, many railroads will
have to 60 into bankruptcy.
The statement further declares that
during the past two years the railroads
went behind seven hundred and thirty
million dollars.

CONFESSION LEO
TO THE CEMETERY
Sugar Trust Witnesses Now
Point to the Late H. o.
Havemeyer.

NEW YORK, June "a Secretary
Heike of the American Sugar Refining
Company, in his testimony in his own
trial today, indicated that the late
Henry o. Havemeyer was responsible
for the long continued defrauding of
the government by sugar trust en-
ployes. He denied any personal blame
in the matter.
Heike IS testimony was similar in this
respect to that of Oliver Splitter, who
testified week ago, making full con-
fession, after having been pardoned.
When asked under cross-examination
why he had not confessed before, Spit
zer replied that he was reluctant to do
so because his confession "would have
carried him to cemetery meaning,
he explained, that his confession would
have exposed Havemeyer, which, he
said, the government prosecutor did not
want. After leaving the witness stand
Splitter further said:
Another reason why I committed
perjury was because I thought nothing
could happen to the sugar trust. We
all thought the trust was so strong
that the government could do nothing
with it.
81 left my effects in Atlanta. came
here TO unburden myself of the great
wrongs I had done all these years. I
wanted to confess all my sins before
this court and tell all I knew
81 wanted to stand among my fellow
men once more and tell all should
have told before. / wanted to go back
to my family. I wanted to be shriven
of all that cankered me these sleepless
nights in Atlanta prison, where suf-
fered so much.
''I couldn't stand it any longer. I
told Captain Flynn of the secret serv-
ice in Atlanta that couldn It stand the
torture; that must tell the truth, and
that l wouldn't be behind the bars If
1 had taken the advice of my lawyers,
Mr.. Maekeller and Mr.. Cochran. They
told me to confess, if I had anything to
confess, after my conviction last Feb
ruary. They told me to confess before
it was too late.

CUT PHILIPPINE FORTS,
BUT INCREASE THOSE HERE
Congress ReaffirmS This Policy and Votes
$42OOOOO for the Pearl Harbor
Dredging and Dry Dock.

tho Philippines, and tho government
would make its great naval base in the
Pacific at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The
debate in recent days has emphasized
that purpose, and senate and house at
this session have already shown their
assent to the expenditure Of very large
sums there to further the erection of a
great naval station at that point. Sem
ator Lodge has Just pointed out that
Pearl Harbor will be the Gibraltar of
the United States government in the
Pacific. 81 do not pretend TO be a
naval expert" said he, "but I am
quite certain that no hostile feet would
dare come to the Pacific Coast and leave
the American fleet behind it with a base
at Hawaii"
With that end in view the senate
finally approved of house provision
appropriating $1,5O0,OO0 for dredging
the channel up to Pearl HaTbor, instead
of $l,200,000, and also approved of
limit of $2,700,000 for the construction
there of drydock, which will be one
of the largest and one of the best dry
docks in the world when completed.
Very closely related with these mat
ters of Notifications in the Philippines
and in the Hawaiian Islands is that of
fortifying the Panama Canal, over
which a contest is raging in congress.
A board of military men has recon-
mended fortifying the canal at cost
of several millions of dollars These
Notifications, once put in place, will
mean an expense Of about $1,000,000
to maintain. Quite a contingent of
members in the house, headed by ex,
Gaaol,n- Eosfor of Ohto 30 nTnncad m
voting this money for canal fortifca-
tions,, favoring instead the neutraliza-
tion ef the canal in time of war
throJ gh the framing of treaties with
fore n nations. Such a treaty now is
in ce with Great Britain and it is
claimed that other treaties with the
powers of the earth could easily be
negotiated.
The advocates of militarism are push
ing their case aggressively, but if the
voting of the appropriation can be
prevented at this session of congress
the prospects win be good for keeping
the canal open to all ships of war and
avoiding the expense of fortihcations,
Were this country to gain any decided
advantage by fortifying the canal,
there is little question what congress
would do, but the experts say it will be
exceedingly difficult to defend the canal
in time of war and that its neutraliza-
tion would probably prove an advan-
tage to the United States.
The Pearl Harbor appropriations
have been acquiesced in by the senate
in exactly the form they were voted
by the house. That means the Pearl
Harbor paragraph will not be sub
ject of dispute in conference. 1t is
certain now that the naval bill, as it
becomes law, will carry an item of
81, 800, 900 for dredging the Pearl Har'
Dor channel and also an authorization
for the increase of the cost of the dry
dock to $2,7OO,OOO. There was consid-
erable reference to Hawaii and Pearl
Harbor in connection with the debate
on the Naval Appropriation Bill. 1t
was practically all in favor of building
] up great naval base there.

GRACE DID NOT GO
ON STEAMER TO F0RM0SA

From most reliable source in Japa'
nese circles, information has been re-
ceived here from Japan that Anderson
Grace did not arrive on the steamer
Niigata Maru at Takao, Formosa, thus
diserediting the rumor that he slowed
away in that vessel at this port.
A cablegram sent from here TO Toxic
was referred to the governor general
of Formosa, who states that there is
no basis for any suspicion that Grace
landed at Takao. The vessel, after leav.
ing Takao, went TO Yokohama, and the
police report from the latter place ihdi
Gates that no person of Grace's descrip
tion was ever aboard the vessel.
Reports have been laid before Sheriff
Jarrett that Grace was seen in KakaakC
a few nights ago, and that he wal
riding a bicycle with lights out.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-some con.
tributions to the problem of coast for.
tifcations have been made during the
session Of congress, although these are
by no means entirely solved. It is dis
heartening to those who feel the value
of a dollar to hear the statesmen talk
about ships Of war costing $l6,000,000
or $4,000, 900 piece only to be thrown
upon the junk heap after few years
when it has cost the government as
much more for their maintenance and
up keep. But on top of this evidence
of waste of millions comes the expenses
of coast Notifications. They are by
no means as large as for the navy, but
the equipment wears out in the course
of a few years and experience has
shown that the guns and armament for
the defense of coasts and cities during
one generation are obsolete for the fol-
lowing generation.
The debates of the senate during the
past week have brought out clearly
that expensive Notifications in the
Philippine Islands are no longer favor
ed by those in authority. "That idea
was held tenaciously for a great many
years." said Senator Newlands, of
Nevada, one Of those who participated
in the debate. ffIt has met with much
opposition in the senate and / am glad
to know that the sentiment of congress
and the sentiment of the country is
practically unanimous in favor of its
abandonment. I recall that within a
short time after the acquisition of those
islands in a conversation with dis
tinguished officer of the German staff,
he stated that any great European
military power taking possession Of
those islands would not think of MAX
ing large expenditures in the way of
Notifications but would rely mainly
upon its feet. The policy which has
ish the expense, the risk and the ex-
distant country"
shire, first emphasized the decision not
to fortify in the Philippines and Sen
ator Lodge said he acquiesced in it as
ga wise abandonment"
The government has already spent,
in round numbers, something like
$S,000,000 for the Notifications Of the
PmllpplneS, ana II Jhe planS OF army
officers had been followed the govern
ment would now be committed to much
larger expenditures there for fortifca-
tions. The so-called abandonment, v
however, does not mean that the ex.
penditure of money for fortifying Ma
nila is to cease altogether. Enormous
defensive works and the hest of high
power modern guns have already been
put there. Only few days ago an
estimate of $650,000 for the further
fortification OF the Philippines was for
warded to the house and good por
tion of it, if not all of it, will prob
ably be voted at this session.
The abandonment applies more
strictly to the construction of naval
defenses and naval bases, and it was
decided some months ago that expendi
lures for those purposes would cease in

Where Men Fought and Fell

Miss Frazer who is very modest about her con
nection with the matter, told reporter how she
came to discover the site of the old Stone house
"After much research" said she, Il found a
bronze tablet that had been erected many years
ago on the front of the twostory brick house that
stands at the corner of Fifth avenue and Third
street. It was almost hidden by CRIME, and IN
the shadow of the e." 1t contains this 1nscrp'
ton under picture of battle field:
Here on the 9th of August 1776 $50 out
Of 400 brave Maryland soldiers under the
command OF Lord Stirling were killed in
combat with British troops under Lord Corn
wallis"
81 found that the old Stone house around which
the battle was fought, and which was also called
the Cortelyou house, had been buried under it
feet of earth, nobody knowing that 1t was famous
Is years before the battle of Long island was
fought in and around It, 1t was built In 1899 by
Nicholas Vechte, Dutch colonist, and in 1890 it
passed to the Cortelyous, the price being $4,000.
In 1916 the Iitohfields, who now own it, bought
the property from the Corteyous. 1t stood on the
banks of a brook emptying into Gowanus creek
Is or 20 feet below the present street level, and
was famous as the largest and most substantial
house on Long island at the time
"The spot became city dumping ground and
