valuable fighting force In Mexico. 1t
is alleged that he made special bid
for the bad men Of Texas and Arizona
as recruits. He wanted gun fighters
who would be afraid Of neither God
nor man. Whatever they might have
done across the line, he promised
them protection IL they would enlist
under him. y.
Whether true or not, this story
gave his name a sinister meaning
along the frontier. It became q pro-
verb among the worst element, DO
what you please, then Join Kosterlitz-
ky. He won't give you away.
"Kosterlitzky sprang into promi-
nence at the time Of the riots at Cam
anea several years ago. The Mexican
laborers at the big copper camp
struck for higher wages. Property
was destroyed and the lives Of Amer
leans were menaced.
1.-THE rurales were at the other end
of Sonora, and the urgent needs Of
the case caused the authorities to ap-
peal to the Governor Of Arizona for
assistance. He responded by sending
detachment Of the rangers to Cam
anea They were instructed not TO
fire on the strikers, but to wait for
Kosterlitzky.
"The latter arrived after forced
march that had tested the endurance
of his men. The rurales were drawn
up on one side Of the plaza, the rangf
ers on the other. The Arizona boys
were spelling. for a fight. They
thought they recognized some bad
men who had slipped through their
fingers, and 1t began to look as II they
would attack their Mexican allies. u
"Kosterlitzky alone prevented a
clash. He rode up and down the plaf
"a. He jollied both sides He remind
ed them of the friendly relations ex-
listing between the United States and
Mexico and warned them Of the re-
suits Of a scrap. I saw him myself,
and his courage and GOODNESS In try
ing situation were superb.
Later he marched against the
strikers. He gave them thirty minutes
to disperse. When the end Of that
time found them still holding their
ground he ordered volley to be fir-
ed that killed nearly forty men. There
was no Cananea strike after the last
echoes had died away.
"Oh, yes, Kosterlitzky, the Polish
adventurer from nowhere, is quite q
figure in Mexico. His career hasn't
been quite as meteoric as those OF
Christmas and Bill Moore. but it has
been built up on rounder basis. He's
a man to be reckoned with."-New

Watson Wants Cotton Statstics.-In

Watson Wants Cotton Statistics.-In
his annual report Commissioner Wat
son will advocate the passage Of an act
requiring cotton statistics to be fur
nished his office just as Is now done In
the case of tobacco.
The reports would be required Of
cotton ginners and buyers. In the
case Of the ginners the number OF
pounds and bales ginned would be sent
in and from the buyers, the number
of pounds, the number Of bales and
the grades and prices would be fur
nished.
1.-The tobacco law has worked we'll, "
said Mr.. Watson. "It has been Valu-
able not only to the people of this
state but has been Of much benefit out
side of South Carolina"
Texas has a cotton act such as the
commissioner wishes passed in this
state. The information is given by
markets and is of use all along the
line. The tobacco act has made 1t
possible to give full reports every
month on tobacco. Not only has pub
licity been given in South Carolina to
the tobacco growing industry but In
tobacco journals throughout the coun-
try have been carried reports Of the
tobacco crop in this state. None were
published heretofore and 1t Is now
hard to keep up with cotton statistics

The Columbia State: The destruc-
ton by fire of the village Of Red Top,
in St. Andrews Parish, six miles from
Charleston, recalls that at one time 1t
had a certain celebrity. Judge r. w.
Memminger, long before he was raised
to the bench, contributed an article to
an illustrated magazine in which Red
Top was described as the wickedest
town in the United States. Undoubt-
edly the element of undesirable citizen
snip in Red Top was unduly large. 1t
was made up for the most part Of ne
gro phosphate hands, and white men,
unless they were armed and on the
alert, gave the place a wide berth. In
late years Red Top has lost its motor
iety and the few white shopkeepers
have lived in peace and crimes
have not been especially frequent in
the village.

CRADLE OF THE RACE.
Bold Plan to Restore the Garden Of
Eden

To restore the Garden Of Eden sounds
like a bold enterprise, yet a plan sug-
gested by Sir William Willcocks, the
English engineer who built the Assuan
Dam, makes the project sound entirely
feasible. It is Mesopotamia, "the land
between the rivers" Tigris and Eu-
pirates, with which he Is dealing, and
ne purposes to turn the surplus waters
Of the Euphrates into the river Pishon
and to carry down the delta a great
canal which would not only bring back
the productiveness of several million
acres Of land but would guard the re-
gion from the overf1ows Of the Tigris.
Had Noah been a hydraulic engineer,
Sir William adds, he might have saved
his country as well as his family by
constructing the Pishon river reservoir.
But that would have involved historic
losses as well as gains. 1t marks def
mite step In the worlds pro--"ss that
the work Of reconstruction should now
be undertaken by the Turkish govern
ment, which thereby demonstrates Its
real reform to broader views and mo1e,
intelligent ambitions. "
To build this canal, which will doub
the cultivable area along the Ell
pirates, will take three years and cosi
100000 or less. Supplementins 1t.
Sir William proposes railroad from
Bagdad to Damascus, costing $11,000,-
900, which would open the way to the
Mediterranean, the natural commercial
outlet Of Mesopotamia. Such road
seems to be demanded because the ir-
rigatlon scheme will impair the naviga-
bility Of the river. And even before
the increased wheat harvests are ready

There may be some question that the

DEVOTED WIFE JOINS
HUSBAND QUICKLY
SWoons at News of His Death in
Hospital and Does Not
Recover.

Particulars of the death of Charles
Christian and his wife on Kauai who
were reported by a wireless telegram
to have both died the same night, came
yesterday from Lihue.
Mr., Christian had been i'll for n
couple of weeks, and as he became
weaker IL was found necessary to send
him to the hospital. He was taken
there in the forenoon and about ten
'clock at night it was seen that he
had not long to live, having had two
hemorrhages. His wife was called to
his bedside.
AS she reached it Mr.. Christian died,
and the shock was so great that Mrs.
Christian swooned, became unconscious
and all efforts to get her back to con.
seriousness were unRvailing and she
passed away, death being due to heart
failure. She had been sufferer from
heart disease for some time. The tragic
death of the two kamaainas caused
deep regret all over the Garden Island,
where they had resided for many years.
Mr.. Christian went there about thirty
five years ago and was first a sugar
boiler, later head luna and lastly as
sistant manager of Hanamaula planta-
ton.
They leave ten children. Mrs. Chris
tian was formerly Emma Spencer. Her
alf-brother is Sheriff Pua, of Hawaii
Mrs. II. X. Vivichaves and Mrs. II
Flint are halfsisters.

YEARS
ON SUPREME BENCH
Justice Harlan Celebrates the
Anniversary of First APP
pearance on Tribunal.

WASHINGTON December 10.-John
Marshall Harlan, presiding justice of
the Supreme Court of the United States
today is doing what only three other
men have done in the history of the
court. He is celebrating the close of
thirty-three years service on that
bench.
On December 10, 1877, Justice Harlan
took his place on the bench of the Su.
preme Court. He was then forty-fou1
years of age. Not only have all the
men who were on the bench the first
year of his service passed away, but
Justice Harlan's service is now twice
as long as that of any other member
of the present court. OF the sixty-two
men who have sat on this bench, Jus
tice Harlan has been an associate with
twenty-siX.
The three members of the court whose
services exceeded that of Justice Har-
Ian were Chief Justice John Marshall,
Justice Stephen ]. Field and Justice
Joseph Story. Both Marshall and Field
served more than thirty-four years.
Several months more than seventy
seven years of age, Justice Harlan was
performing today his proportion of the
work of the court. Besides disposing
of the business incumbent upon him as
senior associate Justice during the va
cancy in the chief justiceship, Justice
Harlan has written six of the thirty
three opinions announced by the court
this term.

CHURCH Gets BULK
OF EDDY PROPERTY
Impressive Services Held for
Late Head of Christian
Scientists.

BOSTON, December S.-The terms of
the will of Mrs Mary Baker Eddy we're
learned late tonight. To the Christian
Science Church, tho source from which
it came, goes the bulk of her estate,
which, inclusive of the value of copy
rights, is about $1,500,000. OF this,
81 100000 will be devoted to the propa-
cation of the faith.
To the board of directors is left the
final decision as to the form which this
bequest will take. But in her will Mrs.
Eddy has left several suggestions, and
it is said that the principal one relates
to the instruction of needy persons who
may desire to become Christian Science
healers.
Other provisions of the will are as
follows:
The estate at Chestnut Hill is be.
queathed to the Mother Church.
The house numbered 3S5 Common
wealth avenue also becomes the prop
erty of the church.
Pleasant View is to be sold at a pri-
vate sale or auction by the admins
traitor of the estate, former Congress
man Henry NJ. Baker of Bow, New
Hampshire
Members of Mrs Eddy's household
are remembered in requests which
range from $1,000 to $4,000. Calvin
Frye is given $4,000.
Not a dollar is to go to George w.
Glover ana DR.. f. j. Foster Eddy, re-
spectively the son and adopted son of
Mrs. Eddy.
Followers of Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, founder of the Christian Science
Church, parted with her visible form
today at funeral service that was
marked by simplicity and lack of osten-
tation, that yielded no expressions
of sorrow, at least not by her follow
ers; that was surrounded by no trap
pings of mourning, but was neverthe.
less sufficiently impressive to linger
long in the memory of 100 persons who
attended,
Judge Clifford P. Smith, first reader
of the Mother Church, read the greater
part of the service prepared by him
self, consisting of selections from the
Bible, corelative passages from Mrs.
Eddy's book "Science and Health, -
and prayer. He was assisted by Mrs.
Carol Hoyt Powers, second reader, who
rendered Mrs. Eddy s "Mother's Even.
ing Prayer
There was no eulogy, no sobbing, ex.
cept by the Young grand daughter, Mary

There were two intervals of impress
sive silence. The first was at the be
ginning. The company had been seated
and as the hour approached whispering
gradually ceased. There was not rus
tie to break the stiffness until strange
ly enough, the clocks in the house
chimed out the eleventh holr.
Judge Smith then began his reading
in tone reverent but unwavering.
As he closed the passages from "Sci
ence and HEALTH he said:

to be followed by the audible render
ing of the Lord g Prayer
Again the rooms were silent for g
little more than minute, although
it seemed longer. Then Judge Smith
broke the stiffness with "Our Father

JAPANESE RICE
PRICE Goes UP
IuIy Floods in Japan Have Caused
Sudden Rise in Value of
Main Staple.

The price of Japanese rice has gone
up in price from ten to twelve cents
a bag. One of the most prominent mer-
chants among the Japanese makes this
announcement, the figures being shown
since the last receipts of rice from
Japan.
During the early part of the present
year the prospect was good for ban
ner crop, and it was believed that the
price would go down, but ON account
of the floods last July the MAJOR portion
of the crop was destroyed, even the
southern and central portions being
affected.
The total crop for 1910 was greatly
quently gone up When the new crop
began to come in it was reported lower
and that it would 60 even lower, but
very suddenly the price has begun to
soar skyward and twelve cents increase
per bag has already been noted and
the Japanese laboring element is begin
ming to be anxious for they depend
mainly upon the rice from Japan for
their principal food staple.
II is predicted that this price will
remain the same, at least until Febru'
airy, when the farmers, who have a
supply, will require money from the
crops, and they win be compelled to
unload.
The stock market in Japan has natu-
rally been affected by daily huctua-
tions. Local merchants believe there
will be no lowering of the price until
at least February.

.EMBEZZLERS ARE
HELD IN PUNCHES
Chief MCDuffie Has Several on
a String Awaiting
Disposition.

Embezzlers have occupied great
deal of the time of Chief McDuflie
for the past two days, and the wire
less again figured in case. While
the chief, after his experience with
Jue Yuen Nov, rather SHES at cabled
or programmed information and re-
quests to arrest people, he was willing
to take one more chance and landed
his man nicely.
The wireless was from Papaaloa and
was to the effect that Japanese
named NaKagawa had embezzled $500.
He was to be held, if found, the victim
being on the way up to prefer charges
against him. After some searching,
the chief caught the man just as he
was about to board the Manchuria for
japan, three hundred dollars being
found in his trunk. He claims that he
can make the deficit up.
Another embezzlement case was
landed when Chu Dai Duck, a Korean
was arrested in Kalihi by Officer Woo
of the special staff. Chu Dai had been
the ditchman'' and head of a. hui of
Korean cane contractors at Waialua,
where they had been working ground
ever since the strike.
1t appears that they were always
more or less quarreling, but managed
to hang together for year or so,
Finally Chu Dali went to collect the
month IS wages due the nine, amount
ing to about $3.50, and promptly disap
peared. They found him and demanded
that he come through with the coin
but he consigned them to warmer eli
mates and departed again.
They then laid complaint with the
police and after a prolonged search the
man was located working for family

TRIED TO RAILROAD
WIFE ON MANCHURIA

The festive little habeas corpus writ
came in handy and for once received
its proper use, yesterday, when little
Iaru Taniguchi appeared before Judge
Robinson in the circuit court and
smiled in the judges face while her at
torney, Joseph Lightfoot, moved that
the writ be dismissed. For the cruel
husband who was going to carry her
off was hundred miles at sea and she
was perfectly free.
Her husband Umetaro Taniguchi ac-
cording to her claims, brought her from
Hilo to Honolulu by physical force
which became necessary to overcome
her intense love for the town on the
crescent bay. After he got her to Ho-
nolulu he brought her to Japanese
hotel and, still according TO her claims,
held her confined there for a week.
Day before yesterday he took her on
board the Manehuria after securing
passage for both of them to japan and
locked her below.
Nine O'Clock Monday evening Fasa-
kuchi Full, friend of the distressed
heroine called on Lightfoot and told
him the lady's pilikia! Lightfoot pro-
cured a warrant of arrest on writ of
habeas corpus Mt once and at midnight
the nigh sheriff went down to the
steamer and found everything accord
ing to the story. Haru protested en-
phatieally any, desire to return to the
Land of the Cherry Blossoms and by
the time she appeared in court the
steamer had 1eft the port. Incidentally
the husband left without her, his better
half.
