Castro In
Venezuela
Never Left the Country and Plan
ming Another Revolution.

With the astonishing declaration,
based on information gathered from
direct sources, that former President
Castro of Venezuela never left his
country and that hired double was
masquerading abroad in his stead,
Captain Emil Hohndahl, soldier of
fortune, formerly Of the United
States army, now captain in the re-
organized Mexican army, arrived
home recently on the City
of Panama. Captain Hohndahl is
on leave of absence and will visit
his family at 601 Apgar street Oak
land, Cal.
While | was in the City of
Mexico" said he, carrying mes
sage from General MARITIME Espinosa
to Madero, | was approached by a
cousin of Castro, who bears the same
name, and was offered liberal sum
to take part in proposed revolu-
ton in Venezuela, which is being
planned to reinstate Castro and the
old regime.
The cousin, whose assumed
name | am not in the position to
give, is in Mexico for the purpose
OF recruiting revolutionists, especial
ly among the followers of Madero.
| was first visited by one of his
agents, and when | expressed my
willingness to join in the undertak
ing if the inducements were suffic-
lent, Castro's cousin visited me.
Il then asked him if the rumor
that former President Castro had re-
turned to his country were true.
He laughed heartily, and declared
that Castro never had been away
from the shores of Venezuela, but
that he and his friends had found a
double and employed him to take
the former presidents place, there
by perpetrating a giant hoax upon
the whole world.
Il have not yet accepted their of
fers, but | shall see the revolution
airy representatives, when l go back
to Mexico and make final arrange
ments. This Castro who is now in
Mexico bears an assumed name and
poses as waiter while organizing
his forces and laying his plans" +"

Will of II. P. Baldwin Gives Much
to Charity.
Fred Baldwin Memorial Home.

These are the principal bequests
contained in the will of the late
Henry P. Baldwin that was filed
today for probate at the Circuit
Court in Wailuku.
Under the terms of the will, the
estate is left to five trustees, these
being the officers of Henry P. Bald
win, Ltd, of which Mr.. Baldwin
was president, and whose place will
now have to be filled. The other
officers are H. A. Baldwin, w. D.
Baldwin, f. F. Baldwin and J. P.
Cooke.
The shares of stock of H. P. Bald
win, Ltd, are to be divided equally
between the testator's wife, Emily
A. Baldwin and his seven children
Harry A. Baldwin, Maude E. Cooke,
William D. Baldwin, Arthur D.
Baldwin, Frank. F. Baldwin, Char
lotte M. Rice and Samuel A. Bald
win.
Independently of the distribution
of the stock, Mr.. Baldwin bequeath-
ed to his wife all personal effects
and the home at Maluhia, Maui.
In addition to this is about one
hundred thousand dollars of life in
surance, which by the terms of the
policies goes to Mrs. Baldwin.
The executors of the estate are
Emily A. Baldwin, Harry A. Bald
win, and Joseph P. Cooke, who
serve without bond.
The endowment to the Fred Bald
win Memorial Home at Molokai is
in addition to liberal endowment
that Mr.. Baldwin gave when the
home was incorporated.
1t is not known what the total
value of the estate will be, but it
has been computed at between six
and seven millions.
Mr.. Baldwin followed out in his
will what he had been doing all his
life, giving to charity. 1t is probably
no one will ever know, even ap-
proximately, the amount Of his an
nual charities.

1t would cost over a hundred thou
sand dollars to complete an auto
belt line around West Maui, but
from every point of view it would
prove a good thing. Thousands of
homestead acres would be opened
up and hundreds of thousands of
acres of grazing land made very
valuable. From Kahakuloa the
trail ascends and the horses fairly
climb, but the proposed road will
be built on an easy grade.
There are mountains, gulches,
cascades and waterfalls to attract
the eye all along the road, and at
Waihee the auto awaited us. Chair
man Pogue was a fund Of informa-
ton, and Mr.. Drummond, the new
supervisor from Hama, got his first
lesson in road building. The latter
part of the trail is even now a
splendid road, little widening and
cutting out sharp turns and it makes
an auto road of the first class, as
cending higher in altitude than any
auto road on Oahu. 1t is shame
that we have to go to Maui to learn
what real HSY q 20 enterprise means.
Why not invlve Pogue and his SUI
pervisors to come over and stir us
up? We are missing splendid op-
portunities. 1t is time to get to-
gether on Oahu and emulate Maui.
We need a real, all-the-round-island
auto road even more than does
Maui, and Maui is going to reach
out now for the tourists land she'll
get them.

Picture For Maui.

regarding Maui, and also the sup
posed desires of the Board of Super
visors. Mr.. Ford says:
1t was my good fortune to meet
the supervisors again in Lahaina,
and my very good fortune to be in
vited to accompany them on their
trip around West Maui. l left Wal
luku at six a. m. in the sheriff s
sevenseater, and we picked up the
supervisors at Lahaina. Let me
say that Maui puts Oahu to shame
when it comes to building good
roads. In three-quarters of an hour
we spun around from Wailuku to
Lahaina over perfect road, and
when this road is finally carried
around West Maui the island will
have one of the most magnificent
scenic auto runs in the world. |
know that Chairman Pogue, of the
board of supervisors, is in favor of
first building the road from Wailu.
ku to the summit of Haleakala.
The cost would be about sixty thou
sand dollars, as there are but eight
miles of new road to be built to
enable an auto to run from Lahaina
to Kahului to the summit or Hale
akala. DIR. Scudder and his party
are now on their way over this route
and will report.
The Trail and Mountain Club
hopes some day to see the crater of
Haleakala set aside as national
park, but certainly the West Maui
belt road would prove a splendid at
traction to tourists and others. 1t
would make a splendid halliday
spin. We left Lahaina about seven
O'Clock in the morning, went over
the entire township, locating the
proper places for new roads and
water mains, then began the spin
around West Maui. To the tourist
this is an ideal run; first there are
cocoanut and bread fruit groves,
then the algaroba, and after that
the cliffs and sand beaches to gaze
down upon. The blue, clear water
permits a study of reef live, and the
larger colored fish may be seen
swimming over the white sand. The
auto road extends for more than
thirty miles along the coast to Ho-
nokahau, on one side the ocean, on
the other the mountains and ravines.
At Honokahau an exchange was
made for horses, and the school
house visited.
Here began the unfamiliar bit
of Maui gulches, in which the native
grass-dwelling house may still be
seen, and swinging wire bridges
across the streams. The trail as
cends for perhaps two thousand feet,
but lines for a carriage roadway
have been laid at lower elevation.
For several hours we logged along
admiring the scenery, until at noon
we rode into Kahakuloa, a bit of
old Hawaii where the traditions,
and superstitions still prevail. Far
out at sea a score of heads were
bobbing up and down and a couple
of canoes were being padded about
in a semi-circle. On the shores the
rest of the population of Kahakuloa
was seated watching the fishers. Far
up on rocky point two natives
were watching the waters and sig
mailing the fishermen where to follow
the school of fish.
From Kahakuloa the supervi-
sors hope to construct a wagon road
to Waihee, three miles from Wailu-
ku, in fact very little improvement
would enable wagons to enter the
valley, and for half the distance
there is a trail SO wide that a small
auto has already negotiated the trip.

Montgomery, February 6.--(speeial9 Petition has been filed with the Ala bama railroad commission by the Sea board Air Line and Southern Railway companies asking the state board to modify the present code under which industrial products are shipped from the Gadsden- -Anniston circuit belt. Law at the present time has it that all of the products of the industries in that section of the state must be shipped at a 50 cents per ton rate. but the petition of the -~llroads seeks to re- yoke this ruling soe as to allow an increased rate for all of the commod- ities with the exception of iron.
 The-rai ailroads express themselves as willing to permit the former rate for iron alone, but deslrous of increasing the rate per ton on coal cement and other such commodities.

John B.

 All evidence points to the fact that death came very suddenly and unexpectedly. There were no signs of a struggle. Besides the clothing of the man. no other possess sions were found in the room other than the empty whisky bottle.
 The discovery of the mans dead body in the room caused much excitement at the hotel and number of the curious quickly congregated in the lobby and about the doors. of the place..
