BLOODY WAR HAS
NOW BROKEN OUT
First Guns Fired in Campaign
Against Mosquitoes-The
Mortality Is Awful.

The campaign against the mosquito
started yesterday, with "No Quarter
.he motto and bloody murder--of the
excusable brand-in the hearts of the
army of the board of health. The army
as yet is formed of nothing but raw
recruits, recruits who took their first
lesson in mosquito drill and campaign
ing yesterday when, under the direc.
tions of several men who knew larvae
and wrigglers from one end to the other
they set out to learn the peculiarities
of the pesky brutes.
TIL earmy consists of ten rroops of
infantry, one cavalryman and fifty.two
bases of supplies. The infantry con-
sists of the ten men who will patrol
the ten districts into which the city
has been divided and the cavalry con
sists of the man who will drive his
spirited steeds from one base of sup
plies to the other and replenish ths
stores into which the war is making in
roads. The bases of supplies are tho
fifty-two barrels of oil that have been
scattered throughout the city.
As soon as the men learn to detect
the pools in which mosquitoes are
breeding and as soon as they learn the
necessary things to remove to insure a
community free from the biting ones.
the actual work will commence. Their
training will even go so far as to learn
the proper angle from which to inject
the oil into the dark and loathsome
pools.
The Territory commenced to clean up
Punchbowl and the district back of it
yesterday. The vast amount Of tin cans
and rubbish that the community has de.
posted in that corner of the municipal
house is fine for skeeters and in con-
sequence must go. After the town is
cleaned up, the board will expect the
people to keep it clean and will no
doubt enforce regulations to that eff
feet. The inspectors will then see that
nothing that will give the mosquitoes
a chance to breed accumulates and the
conditions that exist at present will
never be allowed to recur.

ADMIRAL REES MAY
REACH UPPER NINE

RearAdmiral Nazro has been called
before the retirement board, according
to the Army and Navy Register, and if
he is retired, Rear Admiral Rees will
be elevated to the rank of rear-admiral
of the upper nine. Admiral Rees will
retire from service next September.
This promotion, should it come, ear.
ries with it an increase of pay amount
ing to $4,000 a year which will also
proportionally increase his retiring al
lowance.
According to Rear-Admiral Very Is
list of navy retirements and promotions
in the last issue of the Army and Navy
Journal, Admiral Rees would be mum
ber ten at the time of his retirement
in the regular course but with Nazrc
retired before September next, he will
occupy ninth place.
Following is the list of rear-admirals
in their order as compiled by Admiral
Very: Swift, Arnold, Adams, Nazro
Harris, Barry. Winslow, Berry, Phelps
Niles, Comfy, Hubbard and Rees. Swift
retires on the seventeenth of this
month; Adams retires on May fourth
Niles on June fourteenth, Comfy on
July thirteenth and Hubbard on May
nineteenth With these four out Rees
would hold tenth place so that the re
tirement of Nazro raises Admiral Rees
in among the upper nine of the navy
commanders.

Down Her Flag.
THE NAVAL TUG is RETIRED
tFrom wednesday Advertlser.l

Yesterday, at Mare Island, the u. s.
S. Iroquois pulled down her flag as the
station ship of the Honolulu naval sta
tion, to make way for the U. S. 81
Cheyenne, the reehristened, reftted and
Ieeommissioned monitor Wyoming.
The Cheyenne will sail very shortly
from San Francisco for tins port, to
be stationed here permanently. She has
a complement of one hundred and
seventy.six men, fourteen chief petty
officers and fourteen commission officers
The Cheyenne is by no means a mod.
eIn fighting ship, although less than
ten years old She is of the Arkansas
class, in which are four monitors
Christened the Wyoming, she was laid
down in 1899 and commissioned in
1902, being the first vessel of the Amer
lean Navy to be fitted with oil.burning
apparatus. About eighteen months ago
she was rechristened and was practical
ly rebuilt into coast defense vessel,
being sent up and down the coast until
November last, when she was again
ordered out of commission and her flag
pulled down. She has never had an
opportunity of proving her mettle in
war, but has been of service to the
American Navy, nevertheless, her proof
that oil for fuel was possible of naval
use being accepted at Washington and
made the base of further oilburning
tests and uses.
The new station ship, which has as
yet never been in this port, carries
two Pinch guns, four 4-inch guns and
three 6-pounders together with smaller
ordnance and colts rapid frers. She is
of 1926 tons, two hundred and fifty
two feet on the waterline, with fifty
foot beam.
The hauling down of the flag of th'
1roquos was made a matter of cerc-
mony, that staunch little vessel having
become dignifed through the years she
upheld the naval honor of Uncle Sam
in these waters, for months at time
the only representative of the American
Navy.
Capt J. j. Knapp was the Cheyenne
commander when she was placed out
of commission last November, but it is
not known here who will be in com
mand when she sails for Honolulu.
The members of the Iroquois crew
are to be distributed throughout the
Pacific fleet.

ANOTHER ARREST
IN OPIUM WAR
Five Hundred Unstamped Tins
That Contained Drug Are
Found in House.
(FrOm wednesday Advertlser.j J

The most important capture yet in
the campaign against the opium Snug
glers was made Yesterday, when Leong
Ling was taken into custody by the
federal authorities. In the joint where
he was arrested was found large
number of tins of opium stamped ae.
cording to government regulations. In
his house, which was searched after
ward, was found 500 empty tins, all
unstamped.
The discovery at the house added to
what the officials already knew, or had
reason to believe was true, satisfies
them that they have made a big step
in their fight against those who are
continually bringing the poppy drug
into the Territory in violation of the
laws of the government.
They believe the opium to have been
brought here in the unstamped tins
which were found in his house, and
they believe that it was transferred
to those which they found duly
stamped in the store of the arrested
man.
This is the third move in the game
they are playing with the smugglers,
game which would be sensational if
the inside plays and hidden skirmishes
were known. The first was the arrest
by McDuffie of Goo Ping in stage on
the Pail road. In box of oranges he
carried were found tins of opium, and
from him the long chain has been built
up, link by link, until it has reached
the doors of great many more.
The second move was at Waipahu,
where Breckons and McDuiie raided
several opium dens and captured six
or so tins of opium and several keep
ers of the dens. One man escaped from
den while it was being raided and
gave the warning or there would have
been more arrests. But the Maipahu
incident is not finished. When it is,
it will probably be seen that Waipahu
plays an important part on the checker
board where the game is going on. 1t
is handy to Pearl Harbor, and the
names of several sampans are known
which are supposed to be introducing
the contraband drug there.
The arrest yesterday was the third
step. What it will result in remains
to be seen, but the authorities have not
yet got to the end of the alley which
the arrest of Goo Ping inadvertently
disclosed.
1t will be remembered that another
clique of supposed smugglers was gath.

PINCH0T APPEARS AT
BALLINGER HEARING

WASHINGTON, March Former
Forester Pinchot was again a witness
before the Investigating committee to-
day. One of the incidents of the ses-
sion was the introduction by Mr.
Pinchot of a letter from President
Taft, in which the President expressed
confidence in Secretary Ballinger and
said that he considered Inspector
CLAWS a designing man.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Secretary
Wilson figured in the Ballinger-P Pinchot
controversy today by issuing fiat de
nial of Mr.. Pinchot's statement that
he authorized the letter that was writ
ten to Senator Dolliver, which letter
was the basis for Mr.. Pinchot s dis
missal from office.

After Being Held as Witnesses in
a Case Federal Officers

WILL BE SENT BACK AGAIN

In the very near future, according TO
statements by the federal officials yes.
terday, the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association is to be made the defendant
in suit brought by the United States
charging it with violation of the con.
tract laws, charge brought on by the
actions of Special Agent L. E. Pinkham.
The two witnesses that will appear
against the association are two Port
uguese boys, who have been ordered de.
ported from the country but who are
being held by the immigration officials
as witnesses until the settlement of the
case which their arrival here has
brought up.
These two boys arrived on the Tenyo
Maru and during their examination at
the immigration station, declared that
they were coming here to work for the
planters association. They offered sew
eral letters which they had received in
Macao, which are declared to constitute
sufficient grounds for the intended suit.
The boys were enlisted in Macao, the
Portuguese colony of China, by Special
Agent Pinkham, who made such agree.
ment with them as to render their ad.
mission impossible and furnish ground
for action by the federal authorities.
just what is stated in the letters has
not yet been made public.
These were sent up to United States
District Attorney Breckons yesterday
by Raymond C Brown, the immigration
inspector, to be passed on and from
statements made subsequently, they
were found to contain clauses showing
violation of the laws of the United
States forbidding the introduction of

Two Trains and Their Occupants
Are Swept to Death Over
Precipice.
TOLL OF DEAD AND
MISSING is AWFUL
Seven Locomotives and Railway
Station Are Carried Down
by Snowslide.
DARKNESS ADDS TO
HORROR OF SCENE
Floods and Washouts Create
Havoc in Many Parts of
the Country.

SEATTLE, March 2.-Twentv.tbree
Killed, a score more seriously injured.
twenty-five missing, two trains, seven
locomotives and a depot swept away
and buried under mountain of snow
and bonlders-this is the toll of dis.
aster created by an avalanche which
tore down the mountain side near Wei.
lington last night.
The two trains were passing each
other at the west entrance to the Cas-.
cade tunnel when the great mass Of
snow, loosened by the early thaw came
| laundering down upon them. The cars
were crushed and tossed from the track
| like paper shells. Two hundred feet
over precipice the doomed train went,
landing at the bottom under a crushing
weight of snow.
Passengers Asleep.
The passengers were asleep at the
time and the first intimation which they
had of impending disaster was when
the coaches which they occupied were
turned violently over and pitched down
| the mountain side.
The same avalanche picked up seven
| locomotives which were housed at the
station and swept them down into the
mass of mangled humanity, twisted
| steel and general ruin. The railway
station was also caught in the leviat than
grip and, with its occupants, pitched to
its doom on the rocky ledge beneath.
Darkness Increases Horror.
The horror of the disaster was in
tensifed by the darkness, while the
snow made it all but impossible to car
| ry on the rescue work. Twenty-three
dead bodies were taken from the ruins
while score of mangled sufferers were
rescued before it was too late. Though
the rescuers worked with feverish haste
! they were unable to account for twenty
! five of the passengers. These are
thought to be buried under the rocks
and other debris which the snowslide
brought down.
AS soon as the news of the disaster
reached Everett, two rescue trains were
dispatched posthaste to the scene of
the horror and it is still hoped that
some of those whose names appear on
the roll of the missing may be taken
from the wreckage alive.
Unprece- ,nted Conditions.
Unprecedented conditions prevail in
| this section as the result of the thaw,
induced by continued rains and warm
weather. The entire northwest is cut
off from railway communication and
all continental lines are blocked. Many
snowslides are reported in the noun
tains while washouts and floods in the
| valleys have demoralized traffic and
wrought other havoc.
Floods in Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and Nevada are carrying ruin
in their train and many casualties
are reported owing to the destructive
force of the loosened storm waters.
Flood In Ohio.
CLEVELAND, March 1.-Two thou
sand persons are homeless as the re-
suit of the foods which are devastating
Ohio. Great damage has been done to
property in many sections.

SENATE NOW HAS THE
SHIP SUBSIDY MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Saturday. Senators
Gallinger and Frye will Immediately
present an ocean mail bill of their own.
They are not satisfied with the Hum
phrey bill, on which the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries last week
ordered favorable report.
Many protests have been received
from New England against both the
| free ships and the increased tonnage
taxes of the Humphrey bill Senators
Gallinger and Frye will offer an ocean
mail bill pure and simple, applying not
only to South America and the Orient,
but to the Isthmus of Panama
They are also considering the intro
duction of resolution reserving the
transportation of materials and sup
plies for the canal to American vessels.
This service under existing law is al
most monopolized by foreigners, al
though under a resolution of congress
the canal commission is required to pur-
chase-all of its supplies and materials
in the United States unless the prices
are excessive and unreasonable.
New England shipowners have asked
that the same principle be applied to
transportation that already governs the
purchase of supplies and materials. A
resolution to this effect was passed by
the senate in the last congress and was
favorably reported to the house, but
failed of consideration.
The American shipping interests will
now appeal directly to President Taft.
Dying in Corner.
WASHINGTON, February 19.-Thc
administration subsidy bin may never
be brought to a vote in the house, but,
instead, be allowed to die a quiet and
orderly death.
After being rushed out of committee
some days ago with such haste as to
subject its proponents to the charge of
railroading" the measure, the bill has
been pending in the house.
Such criticism has been aroused
from various parts of the country, it IS
said, that some members committed to
ship subsidy are now hoping that il
win not be brought to a vote. A
prominent member of the house or
ganization remarked today that there
was nothing to be gained by putting up
one of the administration measures
just to have it knocked down.
