The question whether a Chinaman is
disqualified because he is a Chinaman
is an issue which Colonel Jones, of the
National Guard, and Major Riley, who
is captain Of the ie team which leaves
tomorrow for the national shoot at
Camp Perry, Ohio, may have to set
tie today with the Chinese Consul Ii
ang Kwo Wing and Governor Frear.
Ho zap, who is of Chinese parentage
but was born in the Hawaiian Islands,
is an American citizen and a member
IF the National Guard of the Terri
tory of Hawaii. 1t comes from COM
petent authority that this young man

Qualities as Expert.
Furthermore, it is stated that Ho zap
has participated regularly in all the
rifle practice at the Kakaako range
with the shooters who have been trying
for the team which is to represent
these Islands in the annual competi
ton held by the direction of the war
department of the United States and
under the supervision of the National
Board for the Promotion Of Rifle
Practice. He took part in the final
shoots at the Fort Shafter range and
was one of the top notchers among the
crack shots, qualifying as marksman,
'sharpshoOter and expert ritfeman, which
latter is the highest degree in the
school of musketry.
When the team and one of three
alternates were selected after the final
test at Fort Shafter, in which Ho zap
ranked among the leaders, this Chinese
lad was not included. Two of the
three alternates. who were to 60 along
to act as substitutes, were not chosen,
when Colonel Jones and Major Riley
got their heads together at the Bnnga-
low last Tuesday night. and it was
thought that possibly zap would be
put on as one of these alternates which
were to be chosen after further tests

Sergeant Blanchard, who was one of
those selected on the team, has some
business negotiations which he is said
last night might prevent his going away
with the team and he was quoted yes
terday as saying that in view of the
| treatment Ho zap had received he did
not intend to go along anyway. There
was a meeting last night at the bun
galow, at which Colonel Jones gave his
final instructions to the team, and Ser
geant Blanchard was present, but did
| not take up the matter of his dropping
out. He told the colonel, however, that
he would see him today. Joe Ferreira,

Scales Were Accurate.

Greeley.-That the allegations of
certain farmers that the scales of the
sugar company at La Sale were
weighing light were not well founded,
as told when the scales of the COM
pany were tested and found to be ac-
curate. Examination was made of the
Ellis scales, which weighed heavier
than the sugar scales, and 1t was found
that the Ellis scales did not weigh ac-
curately any load of over 5000 pounds.
The sugar beet loads ran above 5000
pounds and the Ellis weights for them
therefore were not reliable.
Farmers here express themselves
satisfied with the sugar company
scales. as it was proven that a gov
ernment inspector had examined the
scales of the company and found them
accurate.

CAUSE OF EXPLOSION A MYs.
Terry BUT THOUGHT TO
BE FIRE

De'agua, Colo.-That the death list
the Victor American Fuel Company's
mine will reach fifty-one is shown by
the revised figures given out by Gen
eral Manager w. j. Murray Wednes-
day night Thirty-five bodies have
been recovered and eighteen men es-
capped alive.
The cause of the explosion is not
known.
All hope of Superintendent William
Lewis party of seven being alive has
been abandoned. They had just start
ed into the main entry to investigate
the fire in the mine, which was indi-
Gated by smoke pouring out of the en-
try when the explosion occurred. In
the party were William Lewis, super
intendent, single; w. j. Evans, assist
ant superintendent, married; James G.
Young, master mechanic, married;
William Fitzpatrick. assistant foreman,
single; Till Woodward, assistant cleo
trician, single; Llewelyn Evans, pit
boss; David Bell, motorman.
Those killed outside the main en-
trance simultaneously with the super
intendent's party were E. ]. Jennings,
coal weigher, single; l.. Martin, bar
tender; James l.. Bennett. motorman.
The reports of rescuing parties
showed twenty-nine bodies in the first
and second entries west off the fourth
north, nine in the eighth east Off the
fourth north and seven in Superinten-
dent Lewis party caught and buried
in the debris inside the main entrance.
To these must be added two bodies
found soon after the explosion in the
fourth north entry and three killed
by flying debris just outside the main
entry. The death list may run as
high as sixty, since there are ten
names on the payrolls not accounted
for. They are thought to be in Trini-
dad.
The cause of the explosion is still
mystery. General Manager Murray
thinks it was due to fire in an entry,
but what caused the fire is unknown.
Fire bosses think it may have been
caused by miner being careless with
his lamp and setting fire to the can
vas in that entry.
State Inspector ]. D. Jones made
preliminary examination of the mine
to determine whether 1t was coal
dust explosion. He found little cak-
ing in the vein near where the fire
started but not enough to have been
the cause of the explosion. The min
ers use the open style of lamp. The
safety lamp is not used, the company
officers say, because of the absence OF
gas.

Broom Corn New Industry.

cations bids well to revolutionize dry
farming, is that of raising broomcorn
for the manufacture of brooms. The

ID. A. Arnold of Orchard has started a
broom factory on a small scale and
although he has just begun on his
first season, is meeting with such en-
couragement and success that inside
of two or three years he expects to
interest large amount of capital,
either local or eastern, and TO build
a factory, probably at Greedy.
Mr. Arnold lives on the Isaac
Straus place near Orchard, and this
year put in twenty acres of broom
corn. A few of his neighbors were
persuaded to plant their irrigated land
to the same crop, with the result that
he has the product of some fifty acres
which he is making up into brooms.
They are good brooms, too, carefully
made and of superior quality. AL
ready Mr. Arnold has two helpers in
his little factory.
Next year he plans to put in eighty
acres of corn himself and to secure
contracts for enough to make $50
acres. This can easily be grown on
arid land and will bring s25 per acre,
considered excellent returns from land
which costs from $40 to $15 per acre.
