WASHINGTON, May 20.-An attack
day by the House committee on naval
affairs, which is trying to find out
whether it has the authority to refuse
to accept from the state of Utah for
the battleship of that name a silver
service adorned with engraving depict
ing Brigham Young and the mormon
temple. The hearing was by long
odds the liveliest held at the Capitol
this year.
For instance, Miss Jannett E. Rich
ards of this city, representing the
Daughters of the American Revolution
declared that I'VE consider Brigham
Young the most undesirable type Of
American citizen to be chosen to dec
crate the silverware of any battleship
in the United States to go around the
world under the American flag"
Miss Richards told the committee
that the Mormons were determined
to have their religious symbols appear
upon the silver service of the battle
ship Utah.
"If," she said, the Catholics were to
present a silver service to battleship
and the pieces contained a picture of
the Pore of Rome, with the Vatican in
the background, it would raise furore
in our country. No such design would
be accepted. Yet the Pope is guilty
of neither treason, murder nor poly
gamy.
Then why must We have this So
called Mormon prophet and the Nor
mon temple thrust upon us when we
know that Brigham Young stood for
that which was discreditable and un-
desirable. We appeal to this commit
tee to have another design selected
for this service"
Rev. r. M. Stephenson Emphatic.
Rev. Robert M. Stephenson, presi
dent of Westminster College, in Salt
Lake City, was equally emphatic.

Opinions in the House.
There is practically unanimous be-
lief among leading democrats of the
House of Representatives that in the
end there will have to be additional
antitrust legislation to meet the con-
dition created by the Supreme Courts
decision in the Standard Oil case, but
that action is not imminent at this
session.
Chairman Clayton of the House
committee on judiciary, before whom
would come bill of such a character,
expressed the opinion today that Con-
gress probably would withhold action
to see how the trusts act under the
Standard Oil decision and the expect
ed tobacco decision, to let the trusts
make the first move under the new
ruling, and Congress take the cue
therefrom for it's further action.
81 wish the court had put the Stan
dard Oil Company into the hands of a
receiver" said Mr.. Clayton, speaking
of the matter, land then the country
would know whether the corporation
is really dissolved or not. The COM
pany may claim to be dissolved and
all the time be doing virtually the
same things it has done in the past,
under guise of new organization
Mr.. Claytons remark was by the
OF bearing out the suggestion pre-
viously made by him that a waiting
policy probably will be adopted by
Congress, for the present at least.
The House democratic leaders ex.
pect the trust question to be a promi,
nent campaign feature for 1912, and
to come along opportunely after the
revision of the tariff by the democrat
ic party.

years Of the crop. Some promise is
already held out by these experiments.
A strain of Sea Island, secured from
one Of the best plantations on James
Island, S. c., shows a more upright
habit of growth than any other strain
of Sea Island which has thus far been
secured.
The Caravonica cotton continues to
give promising results. During the
first year of its growth the yield APP
pears to be normally low, but in the
second year a heavy yield is obtained,
which, in conjunction with the greater
ease OF picking and the higher percent
age Of lint, makes a choice between
Sea Island and Caravonica somewhat
doubtful. Egyptian cotton has given
results as satisfactory as those OBJ
tanned with Sea Island. The strains
of Egyptian cotton with which the
station is experimenting grow rather
more vigorously than the Sea Island,
and the yield is perhaps slightly larg-
er. The place which Egyptian cotton
should take in the agriculture of Ha-
wlii will largely be determined by the
future demands of the market for the
three chief types of cotton now grown
In the Territory. In addition to Sea
Island, Caravonica, and Egyptian cot
tOns. experiments are being made with
Chinese upland, a number Of varieties
of upland from the Southern States,
and cotton with red lint, from Cuba.
1t Is proposed to make a reciprocal
Ct SIS between Sea Island and Kidney
cottOns in order to determine whether
Caravonlca cotton was originated in
this manner and whether an improve
ment upon the ordinary type of Cara
vonica can thus be secured. Several
plants have been found in different
localities in the Territory where q
natural cross between a pure Sea Is
land and a pure Kidney cotton could
have taken place, and these plants
strlkingly resemble, in habit of growth
and quality of lint, the ordinary type
Of Caraconica cotton.
1t has been found that pure strains
can be propagated by means of cot
ton cuttings, and a number of cut.
tings will come into bearing during
the present season. In addition to this
method Of propagation budding has
been tried on large scale Propaga-
tion is an easy matter by the method
of budding, but the economy of the
method ON a commercial scale has not
yet been determined According to
the present outlook it seems an econo-
mic proposition to bud over large
areas with bud wood from the best
plants, and thus secure a uniform cot.
ton over the whole field. This met
hod would, of course, have no value
except where cotton is cultivated as
a perennial crop.

HUGHES RECEIVES AND REJECTS
A PROPOSAL THAT He Be THE
REPUBLICAN CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Casting
about for a candidate to pit against
President Taft in the republican ma
tional convention in 1912, the radical
progressive republicans hit upon Just
ice Hughes of the United States SUI
preme Court. He is considered to COM
bine all of the qualities necessary to
make a fine run for the nomination.
But they reckoned without their
host. Justice Hughes turned the prop
osition down fatty and promptly. He
would have none of it.; indeed, he
would hardly listen to the suggestion.
Not only would he refuse to be a
candidate against the man who APP
pointed him to his present position,
but he discouraged the efforts of the
progressives to stir up trouble for
President Taft.
This occurred about six weeks ago
and since that time the progressive
republicans have been rather at sea
as to their candidate, although, Of
course, they have Senator La Toilette
in reserve all the time. The progress
sive republicans would dearly love
to prevent the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft.
Would Head Boiling Ticket.
They do not really believe that
Senator La Toilette could go into the
republican convention and wrest the
nomination from Mr.. Taft. If Senator
La Toilette is nominated for the pres
idency he will probably be at the
head of a boiling republican ticket,
it is thought by politicians.
But the progressive republicans, it
is declared by politicians here, would
sacrifice all personal ambition if they
could find man of a progl essive type
of their definition who could go into

The description of the Japanese dis

Successful Growth in Florida.
1t has been found that camphor trees
can be grown in Florida and the gulf
states and that the tree is hardy to 8
degrees Fahrenheit. Even If the trees
are killed to the ground by frost, they
will come up from the roots and there
is enough camphor in the frost killed
wood to keep a distillery running over
the time it would take the trees to
grow back to producing size.
In the experiments that have been
made so far in the south the trees
have not been cut down, but have
been planted in hedge rows and trim
med, the trimmings being used to
produce gum camphor and oil. There

MONEY IN THE CAMPHOR TREE

Washington Star. Experiments that
have been conducted for several years
by the Department of Agriculture have
progressed to a point where is seems
likely there is a new industry open to
the south, and one that will make the
United States Independent of a for
eign camphor supply. In paper that
has just been issued by Prof. Rodney
True and S. C. Hood the results in
Florida are discussed and the conclu-
sion is reached that camphor produc-
ton in this country is practical, and
can be made profitable
Japan now furnishes the bulk of the
camphor in the worlds trade. The
most of it comes from Formosa, but
small quantity is brought from the
mainland of China. The history Of
the tree and the drug is interesting,
and is gone into by the authors of
the paper
Total Annual Amount.
The practical point is that the cam
phor monopoly produces about 5000,
600 pounds of camphor annually. OF
! this there are imported into the Uni
ted States from 100000 to 100000
pounds. Owing to the operations o.
the camphor monopoly, the price is
subject to violent fluctuations. In The
last three years it has varied between
S1.17 and so cents a pound,
The camphor now produced come
from the forest trees which are Gu
down to supply the gum. There is n,

ACREAGE IN COTTON HERE HAS
MUCH INCREASED AND WILL Be
FURTHER EXTENDED THIS YEAR

The annual report of the Hawaii
Agricultural Experiment Station, by
Or. E. V. Wilcox, has the following
regarding cotton:
Experiments with cotton were be-
gun by the station three years ago
and have yielded striking results in
certain localities in which commercial
paintings, to the extent of about 500
acres, have been made. During the
coming year these paintings will be
greatly increased. A number of
points have been quite clearly dem
onstarted during these experiments.
1t has been shown that cotton
Will thrive under a wide range of rain

and at a considerable variation of al.
titude, from sea level to 1000 feet
The most favorable locations, how.
ever, are low-lying lands near the sea.
shore and protected by algaroba, or
other windbreaks, from the winds
which occur during the winter. AL
though at elevations below 800 feet a
temperature as low as so deg f. is
very rare in Hawaii, nevertheless, at
such a temperature cotton shows the
effect in a marked degree. The leaves
even may turn brown, as if they had
been frosted With regard to rainfall,
q moderate amount per year is de-
cidedly more favorable for the growth
of cotton than a higher or lower rate
of precipitation.
Excessive Yield.
One difficulty which has been exper-.
enced in growing Sea Island cotton in
Hawaii is that of excessive yield
which results in too PROSTATE form
of growth. In one locality on the
windward side of Oahu, where the
rainfall is about 70 inches per year
two acres of Sea Island cotton requir
ed about 5000 props in order to keel
the branches from lying upon the
ground and causing the bolls to rot
In this respect the Caravonica cottor
is superior to Sea Island, since it in
variably has an upright habit o.
growth. The difficulty experienced
with the PROSTATE habit of the Sea
Island can be appreciated from a con
sideration of the fact that in the two
acre field just mentioned and in an
other one-acre field, on the leewarC
side of Oahu, the average number o
bolls per plant was 700, and on one
tree 1900 bolls were counted at one
time. This produces the weight undel
the slender branches of the Sea IslanC
can not support themselves in an up
right position. An elaborate series
of pruning experiments is now unde
