Jefferson City Letter.

The legislature having adj
journed this will be my last let
ter.
My endeavor has not been to
give a weekly report in detail
of all legislation, but simply to
mention only matters in which
my county people were directly
interested in.
The bill providing 100000
for a new capitol at Jefferson
City passed both Houses. a
special election thereon is to be
held August l, 1911. Should
this be defeated, then a second
election is to be had in Novem-
Der, 1912, to vote on 100000
for a capitol. 1t will take a
two-thirds majority to carry the
first, and a majority to carry
the latter.
Senator Chinn has a souvenir
of the 10th General Assembly
which he prizes highly. 1t is
the penholder and pen used by
Gov. Hadley in signing his nine
bills relative to estates, etc, in
the probate court.
The %penitentiary guards are to
receive an increase in salary. The
bill passed increases the salary
from $75 to $85 per month.
I was much amused the other
day when a member of the House
remarked "There is only one
man here I feel sorry for-the
Chaplain. lie is an honest,
God serving man, but his
prayers for the saving of the
House members has no more
chance thereof than has a rab-
bit of eating a wolf"
The county unit local option
bill passed the House March IA,
the vote thereon being IA in ia

democratic representatives from
these counties voted against its
passage-Saline, Monroe, Ste.
Genevieve, Reynolds, Rails, Craw.

THE REDEMPTION
OF EVELYN

MISS OLGA NETHERsoLE IN THIS
DRAMA HAS FOUND HER
BEST ROLE

The announcement of the coming
engagement of Olga Nethersole in a
new play at the Duncan on Tuesday.
March 2S, is most pleasant news to
admirers of the English actress.
This season Miss Nethersole will be
seen here in The Redemption OF
Evelyn Vaudray' by Henri Bernstein,
the author OF The Thief" She ad-
mits the impeachment that she has
been associated in tine past with the
characterization of women whose rep
Fitations-to quote Pinero-"were
little dusty at the hem" But her
purpose has never been to exploit
sin for the morbidiy inclined, but
rather to show the consequence of
wrong and the way of avoidance.
Miss Nethersole feels that the good
woman is pillar of strength and
needs no apologist, but her sympathy
goes to the sinner because of her
misfortune If she has at times and
in different characters presented a
scarlet woman in such way as to
enlist the sympathy of her audience,
it was not with the idea of CLOSING
over sin, but rather because in even
the worst of offenders there is bet
ter SIDE In Evelyn Vaudray Miss
Nethersole believes that she has
found one of her best roles.

creased from 1879 in 1904 to S1O in
1909, gain of II, or Sc per cent.
The capital invested, as reported in
1909, was $7,396,OOO, gain of s2.75g-
900, or 50 per cent over $4,6SS, 900 in
1904. The average capital per estab.
lishmeDt was approximately sZi 900 in
1909 and $4,000 in 1904. In this con.
nection it should be stated that the
inquiry contained in the census sched.
ule calls for the total amount of capi-
tal both owned and borrowed and in
vested in the business, but excluded
the value of rented property, plant,
or equipment which was employed in
the conduct Of manufacturing enter
prises. In the final bulletins and re.
ports the rental paid for such proper.
ty will be shown separately.
The cost of materials used in 1909
was S3,144,000 as against so, ,236, 900 in
1904 an increase Of $9OS,00O, or Al per
cent. The average per establishment
in 1909 was approximately $4,000
while in 1904 it was 1,O0O In addi-
ton to the component materials which
enter into the products of the estab-
lishments for the census year there
are included fuel, rent of power and
heat and mill supplies. The cost of
materials, however, does not include
unused materials and supplies bought
either for speculation or for use dur
ing subsequent period.
Value of Products
The value of products in 1909 was
$7,599,0OO and $5,7O6,0O0 in 1904, an
increase of 1885, 900, or 9S per cent.
The average per establishment was
approximately $4,000 in 1909 and in
1904 about $4,000.
The value of products represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year, and
does not Of necessity have any rela-
ton to the amount of sales for that
year. The values under this head also
include the amount received for work
done on materials furnished by
others.
Value Added by Manufacture
The value added by manufacture
represents the difference between the
cost of materials used and their value
after the manufacturing processes
have been expended upon them and
they become products. In 1909 the
value added by manufacture was $4,-

fully by a display of that sentimen-
tality that would coddle and pamper
the would-be deserter into an obsery-
ance of his solemn oath of enlist
ment or that would restore the con-
convicted deserter whether young
F! and thoughtless or old and depraved.
with little or no punishment to a sta
tus OF honor in a service and under a
flag upon both of which he has
brought discredit by his desertion."
These views of General Ainsworth.
while accurately reflecting the atti.
tude of the war department toward
deserters, do not coincide with the
milder ones of General Wood, who has
been watching the methods of hand
ling enlisted men in the navy and is
now engaged in working out plans to
put soldiers on plane with the sail
ors
AS far as the navy is concerned, AS.
sistant Secretary Winthrop has ac-
complished much for the betterment
of the conditions of the enlisted man
and is preparing to do even more.
"The majority of deserters in the
navy" said Mr. Winthrop, "are young
sters who have been in the service
only few months, or in manly in
stances, but few weeks. They. are
exactly like new boys at boarding
school, suffering from homesickness.
Before they have chance to really
find out what the service is like, they
grow discouraged or lonesome and
bolt. Frequently we have charges of
desertion against boys who have gone
home on leave and have overstayed
their time.
Such cases are different from those
of older men, and yet until recently
they were treated alike. The irres-
ponsible actions of an unframed boy
should not be dealt with too severely.
If he is convicted of desertion he los
es his citizenship and is forced to en-
dure Imprisonment and subsequent
disohonorable discharge.
"The theory upon which based the
reforms am working on is that nine
times out of ten these youngsters, If
given another chance, would turn out
good men. So, wherever it is possible
we are giving them that second
chance. Sometimes we have to send
them to prison for awhile, but we do
not always dishonorably discharge
them. We put them on probation in
stead. They are allowed to go about
their regular work and a strict rec
ord is kept. If at the end of the pro-
baton period their record is good they
are restored to standing, sentence
having been suspended in the mean
time.
"The statistics on the results of
this system will be most interesting
when they are compiled. Already my
reports show a surprising result of
the system Of probation in the cases
of offenders who are tried by sum-
mary courts.

DESERTIONSFROM
ARMY and Navy
ARE fewer
FACT ATTRIBUTED TO EFFORTS
OF OFFICIALS TO MAKE LIFE
MORE PLEASANT

Washington, March Z2.-How tn no
duce the number of desertions among
sailors and soldiers is a serious prob.
lem For five years officials of the
TWO departments have been trying to
make life more pleasant to enlisted
men, with the result that the per-
centage of desertions has been mate.
rally decreased. But the controlling
forces in each department want to 20
even further They want to stop de.
sertion entirely.
Assistant Secretary Beekman Win
throp of the navy department, and
Major General Leonard Wood, who
are advocating a change in the sys-
tem,, are meeting strong opposition
from the old line officers of the army
and navy.
Under the law if man is found
guilty of desertion he is sentenced in
time of war to death, and in time of
peace to a period at hard labor of
from one to two years, after which
he is dishonorably discharged from
the service, deprived of citizenship
and may never thereafter cast vote
or hold position of public trust. The
law gives the officials of the depart
ments no discretion in the matter
once man is convicted of desertion
and sentenced
The navy has been less troubled
with desertions than the army be-
cause the life of the sailor is made &
trifle more attractive than that of
the soldier and also because the navy
is further advanced in its methods of
dealing with deserters than the army.
Both branches showed a decrease
during the fiscal year of 1909-1910, as
against the years preceding it, since
the time of the war with Spain. Dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30,
1910, there were 2,S11 desertions in
the navy, as against 3,1S4 for the
year preceding. Yet there were 947
more men in the navy in the year end
ing June 30, 1910, than in the year
before. In the army there were s.
AGA desertions last year, while there
were more than 5000 the year before.
The percentage of desertions for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, was
3.66 per cent. The year preceding
4.97 per cent of the enlisted men de-
serted.
General Ainsworth, adjutant-gen
eral of the army, who has made the
handling of deserters a specially, IS
one of the "old guard" who does not
believe in what he characterlzes
"namby- -pamby" methods of improving
the condition of the enlisted men.
"The only way to reduce the per-
ceptage of deserters," General Aims
worth told newspaper reporter, rs
to pursue the deserters relentlessly
and punish them severely"
In his annual report for the fiscal
year, General Ainsworth comments
thus on the pursuits of deserters;
"The gratifying reduction in the de-
sertion ratio is undoubtedly due TO
the continuance of systematic and
vigorous efforts to apprehend and
punish deserters. In pursuance OF
those efforts the preparation and wide

MANUFACTURES
NUMEROUS IN
new MEXICO
THIS is SHOWN BY CENSUS BU-
REAU SUMMARY FOR THE
TERRITORY FOR 1909

Washington, March PA prelim-
/ mary statement of the general results
of the census of manufactures for
the territory of New Mexico was is
sued today by Census director Dur
and. 1t consists of summary com
pairing the figures for 1904 and 1909,
by territory totals, prepared under the
direction of William NJ. Steuart, chief
statistician for manufactures, Bureau
of the Census.
Steam laundries are given a separ-
ate presentation. becau the Thir-
teenth Census was the first in VIII ch
they were canvassed and therefore
there are no statistics for prior CEN
suses with which these totals can be
compared.
The figures are preliminary and
subject to such change and correction
as may be found necessary from a
further examination of the original
reports.
The Thirteenth Census, like that of
1904, with reference to manufactures,
differs from the Twelfth Census, in
1900, in that the two later censuses
exclude the hand trades, the build
ing trades, and the neighborhood in
dustries, and took account only of
establishments conducted under the
factory system. In the last census
also, as in that for 1904, statistics
were not collected for factories hav-
ing production for the census year
of value less than $500 except that
reports were taken for establishments
idle during portion of the year 1909,
or which began operation during that
year, and whose products for such
reason were less than $500.
The word establishment" as used
in the Thirteenth Census may mean
more than one mill or plant, provided
they are owned or controlled and oper-
ated by single individual, partner
ship, corporation, or other owner or
operator, and are located in the same
town or city.
The reports were taken for the cal
endar year ending December 81, 1909,
wherever the system of bookkeeping
permitted figures for that period to
be secured, but where the fiscal year
of an establishment differed from the
calendar year a report was obtained
for the operations of that establish
ment for it's fiscal year falling most
largely within the calendar year 1909.
In 1909 the three leading industries
in the territory, by value of products,
were lumber and timber products, 81.
$4,000; steam railroad repair shops,
$1,952 900; and the manufacture OF
coke. There are but two establish
ments engaged in the manufacture of
coke: consequently the figures can not
be shown without disclosing individual
operation, but it may be stated that
there has been great increase in the
industry since the census of 1904.
The Per Cents of Increase
The summary shows an increase
over that of 1904, and in the order
of the percent of increase the various
items of inquiry rank as follows:
Miscellaneous expenses, 80 per cent;
capital, SO per cent; number of estab
lishments, 56 per cent; cost of mate
rials used, Al per cent; number Of
officials and clerks, Al per
cent; value of products 99 per cent;
value added by manufacture, 2S per
cent; salaries and wages, 16 per cent; |
average number of wage earners EN-. |
l,loyed during the year, IL per cent.

ture, Sculpture and Paint
Ing to Be Given.

Mrs Weaver's course, "Talks on
Art" will begin at Oahu College, Pa
uahi aHll, next Monday at half-past
two. The class will meet twice
weekly, on Monday and Thursday aft
ernoons The course will be in two
parts, each of ten talks, and for
each part fee of S. will be charged.
Many who are interested in the
course from the nature of the sub
ject or as a preparation for travel,
are planning to take it. 1t will ap-
peal especially to the young women,
although others will also be inter-
ested. The emphasis in the course
will not be on technicalities, but on
broad comprehension of the essen
tial features and principles of art.
1t will deal with the chief works of
art in the three fields, architecture,
sculpture and painting, and with the
principal artists and their best
known works. A study of the most
famous paintings grouped by CALLER
les will be an interesting feature.
The college has ordered especially
for this course large number Of
books, which later will be pl1,a, in
Cooke library, and also many photo
graphs and prints for illustrative
purposes. Besides, many beautiful
photographs from Honolulu homes
have been promised for the purpose.

RACE MEETING
WAS A FROST
But Five Gathered Last Night
to Discuss HaleiWa Race
Conditions.

1t was a cold meeting, that of last
evening at ChiIlingworth's office to
arrange details of the Haleiwa road
race, and there were SO few present
that another meeting has been call
ed for next Tuesday night, when 1t
is hoped that all interested will be
there.
The Haleiwa race is the big run
ming race of the year, and it is UP
to the sporting public and the con-
testants themselves to get busy in
electing and choosing officials and
others who will have charge of the
necessary preliminaries and the
events of the day.
There was great disappointment
that so small a crowd turned out last
evening, there being just five per
sons present at the meeting, and one
of those a scribe. The other four
who came around were Nigel Jack
son, Hayes, Ornellas and Addison, all
men interested in the different
events.
The meeting was called at 1880
and at that hour the five men were
on hand and waited impatiently fol
Others to show up,
Meet matters were discussed FOL
nearly a half hour, and then those
present decided that there was moth
ing doing as far as others were con
3erned and gloomily walked away
feeling that there was but little in
terest in the annual race.
1t is up to those who want this
annual race to get out and attenc
the meeting of Tuesday, for there are
| many preliminaries to be arranged
and it takes time to look after them
The officers who will have charge
of the meet must be chosen, and Pro
moter Jackson wants some time t(
get out and hustle prizes, of which
there were more given last year thar
| in any like race in the Territory.
Jackson stated last night that he
was willing to give his time to pro
| noting the races, but that he want
| ed some enthusiasm shown, and some
help from the sporting fraternity O.

Tuesday evening at Chillingworth'!
office are the time and place. Al

THREE GOOD EVENTS
WERE PULLED OFF
Fink Gets Terrien In Second
of Scheduled Twelve
Round Go.

There were three hot and heavy
bouts at Leilehua last night, and in
the event of the evening, a ten-round
go between Fink CT the Marines and
Terrien of the Fifth Horse, the lat
ter took the count in the second
round from a vicious swing to the
jaw by the marine.
The first preliminary was between
Price of the Artillery and Armstrong
of the Cavalry, the first three>rounds
being even, but in the fourth Price
threw up the sponge after taking a
lot of punishment from the horse
man.
In the second preliminary Sullivan
of the Fifth and Flynn of the same
outfit mixed it for six rounds, and
the referee gave his decision in favor
of Sullivan, which met with the APP
prevail of the spectators.
In the event of the evening, the
first round was about even, although
both fighters went in heavy and mix
ed things plenty, much TO the delight
of the crowd.
lie SeCoHu lounu, III WHlCH Ioi
rien received the Knockout blow, was
Fink's round, and he pushed matters
from the start Terrier was back
ward and made the marine come aft
er him. He left himself open to a
blow, which Fink took advantage OF
by sending in a right swing to the
jaw which put the Leilehua man out
of business for some time.
Those who went down from the
city report fine evenings entertain
ment by the soldiers. Sergeant
Dougherty was the referee.
