BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April o.
There is little hope that any of the
thirty-fiye or forty miners entombed
in the Mulga mine Of the Birmingham
Coal & Iron Co., as the result of an
explosion, will be rescued alive. The
mine was sealed to prevent spread Of
the flames. OF the entombed, fifteen
are white men.
Rescuers entered the mine and re-
covered five bodies. They expressed
the opinion that all the imprisoned
men are dead.

tion is held by the foreman, VINO is
among the entombed.
The mine has been in operation
two years, and was considered mod
ell of It's kind. When the explosion
occurred flames shot from the mouth
of the shaft to height of hundred
feet. This leads to the belief thai
the explosion was near the bottom
of the main shaft, thus cutting of
any means of escape for the miners

think the Governor s prospective re-

augur well for the Republicans in the
New York campaign. They have been
yearning for some development by
which they could get started right for
another big party winning over there
and some of them are reasoning that
the nomination of Governor Hughes for
the Supreme Court, which will eliminate
him from politics forthwith and leave
ex-President Roosevelt, with whom the
Governor never got along very well,

help materially toward harmony and
success. For the Governors enemies

If ex-President Roosevelt is able to

has President Taft eliminated Cover
nor Hughes as a possible presidential
rival in 1912, but that ex-President
Roosevelt will find it necessary to join
hands with the President in his man

State. Thus there will be an addi'
tional bond of union between the Pres

A lot of nice little political plans
have been laid as incidental to Gov
ernor Hughes decision to accept the
nomination upon the Supreme bench.
Some of them may go awry. The or

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Many
people are interested to know these
days whether Mr.. Justice Charles E.
Hughes is not likely to become the
great speaking judge of the Supreme
Court. In public life Governor Hughes
has been very successful in oratorieal
lines and it would be little unusual
if he were to abstain from such activi
ties in civic matters after he has dom
ned the robes of office next October
and taken his seat in the Junior place.
Because of his popularity as a pub
lie Official and because of the conf
dence he enjoys with the people at
large, the new associate justice eau un-
doubtedly WELD large influence for
good if he cares to deliver occasional
addresses as his predecessor, the late
Justice Brewer, used to do. Such adj
dresses have served to keep the public
and the Supreme Court bench in little
closer touch, to say nothing of the i'm
portant educational work that Justice
Brewer did by arousing public opinion
on divers questions and in guiding pub
lie thought upon matters of current
agitation.
1t is hardly an exaggeration to say
that. Governor Hughes was the most
effective campaigner> the Republican
party had afeld in the last presidential
campaign. He was much sought after
by the party managers, west as well
as east, and proved himself a very
forceful and cOgent reasoner before
political audiences. The people turned
out in tremendous numbers to greet
him and he gained the respect of per-
sons of all parties and factions. In
his several crusades for State reforms
in New York during the last three
years and more, Governor Hughes has
frequently betaken himself to the
platform to expound his cause and thus
stir up public sentiment behind the leg
islators at Albany.
OF course he will cease now to mix
actively in politics, out of respect to
the traditions of the federal courts,
but he may consider that he has a
duty to deliver an occasional public
address, sounding note here and there
of his views about matters of public
interest, without trekking upon the
field of State or national partisan
politics.
Washington will receive Governor
Hughes, as an associate justice, with
open arms. While he plans to live a
rather quiet life here, he will undoubt-
eddy be welcomed here very cordially
in social and official circles. He has
been in Washington occasionally but
has in reality. spent but little time
here for a man of his prominence in
the political world.

A recent statement in the Breed
er's Gazette, regarding the impOrta-
ton of mutton and beef into New
York city from Australia, is of more
than passing interest to the ranchers
of Hawaii. 1t appears that one dealer
in New York city began importing
1000 mutton carcasses weekly from
Australia. This mutton was preferred
by the consumer to American mutton;
and the dealer in question increased his
importation to 5000 carcasses per week,
with the result that all of the meat was
contracted for before its arrival. He
estimates that by early summer at
least $4,000 carcasses per week will be
necessary to supply the demand of his
customers for Australian mutton. SINH
lar results have followed the importa-
ton of Australian beef, the customers
who have tried it demanding the same
quality of meat for future orders,

IMPORTATION OF MEAT FROM AUSTRALIA
E. v. wilcox.

The superiority of Australian meat
to that produced in the United States
is said to lie in the method of trim
ming; but the fact that the meat
reaches New York from Australia in as
good condition as that shipped from
Chicago, indicates that it was originally
in very excellent condition and well
cared for in shipment. The meaning of
this rapidly increasing demand for Aus
tralian meat in New York city should
be plain to the ranchers of Hawaii.
Meat from Australia could be landed
here more cheaply and much more
quickly than in New York city. If such
shipments should be undertaken it
would probably bring about partial
cessation of the demand for local meat
until the ranchers are in position to
feed their beef cattle and sheep, put
meat in better condition, and improve
the flavor over that which is now pro
dueed.

Dondero Brings Action Against
Kirkpatrick for Accounting
Receiver Wanted.
tIrrOm Thursday,s AdyertIserA

A, II, Dondero Of the Hawaiian
Realty Company has brought suit in
the circuit court against his partner,
i. Kirkpatrick, for an accounting and
for dissolution of the partnership. He
charges in the bill that he Is doing all
the work and Kirkpatrick is collecting
and spending the money, and that he
can get no satisfaction in any particu-
lar from kirkpatrick.
The bill in equity was filed yesterday
afternoon by Lorrih Andrews, attorney
for Dondero. 1t sets forth that Don.
dero and kirkpatrick entered into an
oral copartnership on September II,
1909, for the buying and selling of real
estate. They acquired twenty two acres,
divided into 400 lots, labelling the tract
thus acquired "Waialae Heights" 1t
was mutually agreed between them that
each should devote his entire time and
attention to the copartnerslip business,
dividing profits and expenses equally
between them.
But, the plaintiff claims, Kirkpatrick
has, since March 1, refused to attend
to business, has collected money on &C.
count of the copartnership and refuses
to account for the same; has seized Of
including the paper plans belonging to
the copartnership and concealed them,
and has by his actions attempted TO
disrupt and ruin the copartnership and
prevent the plaintiff from transacting
copartnership business, to the great det-
riment Of the plaintiff.
Dondero alleges that he has made re.
peated demands for an accounting, and
has repeatedly asked his partner to at
tend to business, but his appeals have
been disregarded.
To make matters worse, the tract
known as Waialae Heights was bought
in the names of both partners, and in
order to sell the lots both must sign
| the deeds or contracts. This Kirkpat-
rick has refused to do, to the great det-
riment of the cOpartnership; on some
occasions he has signed the deeds only
after a month has elapsed after the pay
ment Of the money. He has refused to
90 to the Office of the firm or to meet
| the plaintiff, and Dondero is unable ia
| find out where his partner is when he
wants him to sign a deed or contract
The result is that it is impossible to
| carry on the business of the firm.
Plaintiff further alleges that the re-
spondent is wholly insolvent and of nc
financial responsibility in the com.
munity, and that if he is allowed to
continue to collect the moneys and
profits without accounting for the same
he will squander them and the plaintiff
will be without any redress at law.
Wherefore the plaintiff prays that the
respondent be summoned to answer and
to make an accounting for all money
received and expended by him on &C
count of the copartnership business
Plaintiff also asks for a decree of dis
solution of the copartnership and set
