Special Dispatch to the Daily Ad-
vertiser, Washington, D. c., Feb. a.
Late yesterday afternoon Chairman
Mercer, of the committee on public
buildings and grounds, offered an
amendment TO the general deficiency
bill, which was under consideration,
making provision for the increase In
the limit of cost of about fifty public
buildings.
The limit of cost for tho Newark
postoff1ce building was increased s7s,-
coo. This would have been enough for
the addition TO the building.
On a point of order the amendment
was objected to, and the chair sus-
tanned the objection.
Thus once more an effort which would
have been beneficial to Newark came
to naught.

days Mr.. Klebahn, of Hackfeld & Co.,
sent many messages asking for pro-
gress reports, but as Captain Stevens
remarked, the messages did not help
any. Tht were doing their best, and
that was all there was to it.
At times the America Maru steam
ed at the rate of seventeen and half
to eighteen knots per hour, but when
in the teeth of the head winds she
only made thirteen or so, averaging
IA "a knots for the trip This is a
good average for the America Maru,
the trip taking five days, twentyohe
hours, nine minutes.
The America had comparatively
small cargo, aggregating only 1000
tons, the bulk of which comprises 2400
bales of cotton for Japanese ports.
She also had four automobiles for
Shanghai. The rest of the freight is
made up of general merchandise, in
GLIDING machinery, building materials,
canned goods and groceries In
the strong room are SAP bars of sill
yer valued at $244,SOO, and she brought
239 sacks of mail for Honolulu.
In the steerage she has So Asiatics,
of whom As are Chinese. There are
81 deportees from San Francisco and
two stowaways who were transferred
from the Tenyo Maru. They are
both Japanese and are believed TO
have struggled themselves aboard the
Tenyo Maru at Yokohama, to which
port they are being returned. In the
second class there are four Japanese
and two Chinese.
This is the first trip of the America
Maru under the new schedule arrang-
ed by the T. X. K. and the p M.
Co. and it is almost year since this
steamer was in port before. She was
on the South American run for some
time, but for the eight months preced4
ing her departure from Yokohama to
take up the new schedule the America
Maru was laid up at the Uraga Dock
Yard, Japan. Here she underwent a
complete overhauling and commenced
her new service run in the best of
condition.
Captain A. &. Stevens who is IN
command of the America Maru. is a
Royal Naval Reservist. He took the
America Maru out on her first run TO
South America, and is well-known
and popular figure along the China
and japanese coasts.
Purser F. B. Cavalry is also we'll
known identity here, in Frisco and in
China. When the America Maru
came into port this morning Cavalry
made his 81st visit to Honolulu. 1t is
ten years since he made his first call
at this port, arriving in the Oceanic
liner Ventura, on which boat he was
assistant freight clerk. He was for
seven and half years with the Gee
anic Company, and for the past two
and half years he has been with the
T. X. X. He was freight clerk for
some time on the Nippon Maru and he
is to be appointed purser of the new
sister ship to the Tenyo and ChiyC
Maru, which will probably be ready
for service in three OF four months.

MAY EXPLAIN A MYSTERY.
Case on Trini in Windsor County
Throws Light ON Death.

Woodstock. July G-The business Of
Windsor county court is being heard
this week by Judge George NJ. Powers.
1t is expected that Judge Butler will
finish up the business of the term.
Judge stanton has passed the crisis in
his attack Of typhoid fever, and is
slowly recovering. II will, however,
be September before he can resume his
duties as Judge.
The case now on trial is one tina,
possibly may throw some light. infer
ontially, on the mysterious death OF
the late J. C. Enright which occurred
in New York city in January, 1906.
1t was thought at the time to be n
case of either foul play or suicide. The
case is Probate Court, Dist, of Wind
sor VS.. Hall to recover on an execu-
tors bond.
The defendant Hall was on the bond
of Joseph c. Enright. executor of the
will and estate of Henry l.. story, late
of Windsor. The principal legatee
was the widow of Story. A few months
after the husbands death, his widow
died, and Enright was also the exocu
tor of her estate.
on November 80. 1908, the probate
court directed Enright to transfer to
the estate Of Mrs. story the funds in his
hands az executor of Story's estate.
The first of the ensui, January
| Enright withdrew all the funds from
the four banks in which they were de-
/ posted. and placed the same to his
own account in the bank at Windsor,
| VT.
In one instance an amount of ST.,
S27,2S was shown to have been with
drawn by Enright from the bank and
on tho same day there was endorsed
on a note against him individually this
exact sum. The amount of funds thus
| diverted by him was between $1,000
and $500 in this one particular case.
The defendant claims that when
Enrlght withdrew the funds of Henry
l.. Story's estate, he then held them as
the property Of the estate of Mrs.
Story, and that as the defendant was
only on the bond in the husbands es-
tate there can be no liability on the
facts stated. Davis & Davis and eX-
