Result of Waldron's Escape.

If Waldron is not found today the elev-
en- remaining jurors will be discharged
according to a statement by Judge Por-
terf1eld. If the missing man is found and
he cannot prove that he has not discussed
the case during his absence the same ac-
ton will be taken. Should he return in
good health and swear that he has men,
toned the trial to no one and the court is
satisfied with. his story, the trial will pro-
coed.
Fear. that Waldron has killed himself
is growing. He was in a highly agitated
state when last seen Sunday night, as,
indeed, he has been almost every day
since he was chosen juror. He OBJ
jected to serving when he was first Sc
lected, saying his dairy interests would
not permit his absence. Later he became
i'll and begged piteously for his wife and
children. After that his wife wrote him
daily and he seemed better contented.
courtroom to see him. From his seat in
the jurybOx he smiled and nodded. When
court adjourned he grasped them in his
arms and kissed and fondled them. Sun
day was a dull day for the jury. Some
of the jurors played games and others
read, but Waldron sat alone. playing on
his old and battered violin, Home, Sweet
Home" He played it repeatedly.
Penalty of Desertion.
Even II WaldrOn escape should re-
suit in a mistriai, which would mean a
loss of thousands of dollars to the
county, no severe punishment could be
inflicted upon him. He is in contempt
Of court, but the maximum penalty for
this offense is fine Of $50, or a ten-day
Jail sentence.
Attorneys and hundreds OF spectators
have remained about the courtroom all
day anxiously awaiting the return OF
Wa,dron. Scores of theories regarding
the disappearance were offered, but the
suggestion of suicide was most generally
accepted. Officers think worry about his
family may have temporarily deranged
him.

Who has not heard of lie Clarion de

of Zouaves, who brought. at his own in
itiative, succor to the gallant soldiers who
were being mown down by shot and shell
He has been celebrated by pencil and by

late his experience Of the campaigns in
which he had taken part. He was wound

Work Of Agricultural Station.

Mr. Stafford called attention to the great
benefit to the island which, he said, would
undoubtedly result from the work Of the
agricultural experimental station. He also
spoke Of the disastrous conditions which
would follow IL the natives should be-
come a race Of government laborers or
mechanics and cease to be the independ-
ent cultivators of their own farms. A
picture was given of the cooperation OF
the owners of adjacent ranches, going in
succession to each ranch in planting,
wedding and harvesting. Under the old
system. in which the whole family worked
in the fields, the death of the father
caused little change; there was only one
less mouth to feed. If from producers the
natives should become largely consumers.
even more food than at present would
have to be imported. and poverty would
family supported by the father with his
handiwOrk
Among the benefits conferred upon
the island by the United States. the
speaker announced, are the establish
ment of a good water supply, improved
sanitation and cleanliness in the dwell
ings of the natives and the streets OF
Agana. the establishment of hospitals
and the instruction of nurses for the
care of the sick. for the death rate of
infants and young mothers was for
merly very high; the systematic treat
ment of certain inherited diseases, the
segregation Of lepers and general
elevation of the moral tone owing
largely to the presence Of the families
of the officers stationed on the island
and the refining influence Of the wives
of the governors, who have been most
cordial in their relations with the
women Of Agana and have set for them
q high standard of living.
The lecture closed with several photo
graphs taken during the administra-
ton Of Gov. Dorm. including baptism
parties in which the godparents were
Americans. weddings Of prominent
natives. and finally a view of the
hosting of the American flag in the
plaza of Agana.

During the first administration of the
Americans many problems not easy to
solve were encountered. The natives said
to pay taxes. 1t did not occur to them
that roads would have to be kept up,
bridges repaired, and school teachers paid
for the instruction of the young, PeOn-
age found to exist upon the island was
promptly abolished, taxes were SO levied
that certain individuals who had become
possessed of thousands of acres of land
on the little island turned part of
their possessions in to the government,
and bona fide farmers were enabled to
purchase small farms. Brandy made
from cocOanut sap was very cheap and
abundant and it was found necessary to
prohibit its manufacture and sale, owing
to it's demoraliZing effect upon the en-
listed men of the station. An order pro-
hibiting concubinage was followed by nu-
merous weddings, but the problem of
granting divorces to those who had FORM
ed new alliances presented itself and the
divorced people could be married only
by the civil authorities, as the Catholic
Church could not recognize the validity
of the divorces.

illustrated With Slides.

The lecture was illustrated by num-
Der Of slides, some of which had been
furnished by Capt Dorm for the occasion.
They gave good general idea Of the
island, the people, the fruits growing on
the island and the Indigenous vegetation.
A series of slides was used by the
speaker to illustrate the work Of the
agricultural experiment station, estab-
lished on the island in 1908, especially its
cultivation Of forage crops. 1t was owing
to a lack of forage that the fine blooded
cattle taken to the island on the Brutus
in 1899 persisted. Many of the native
animals are compelled to eat breadfruit
leaves and branches of trees or banana
stalks. The station also Is taking steps
to improve the particular varieties Of
corn already growing on the island, which
has never been Systematically selected
with this view; and methods have been
devised for drying it and storing it in
metal tanks to protect 1t from mold and
from the attacks of the weevils, which
are SO great pest on the island The
storing of a certain amount of corn on
the island is especially advisable, to-
guard against famine following occa-
