WASHINGTON, July 1S-An investiga-

President Taft today it became known that

President Taft told his visitors that he
believed such an investigation should be
made and suggested that they call upon
Attorney General Wickersham and Solicitor
General Lehman, who had charge for
the Department of Justice of the investiga-
tion of the United States Steel corporation.
Mr.. Lehman said today 1t probably

IL has been represented on behalf of the
retail lumber dealers who have been under
fire by the government that the manu-
racturers were maintaining agreements to
curtail the manufacture Of lumber SO as to
increase the demand and the prices; that
there have been attempts 20 monopolixe the
supply of certain kinds of lumber in cer-
tain sections of the country and that in
some sections a uniform price has been
maintained whicn has resulted in increas-
ing the prices 20 per cent in the last two
years In the face OF decreasing demand.
Twelve constituent organizations which
are said to control largely the manufacture
OF lumber from logs, compose the Nationai
Lumber Manufacturers association. H. q

CHARGE TWO WITH

Charles Spencer and Edward Mark
ham, the first Hawaiian and the
second a haole, win appear before
Judge Monsarrat this morning in
police court to plead to charges of
larceny in the second degree. Chief
McD1lie ordered their arrest several
days ago on suspicion and since has
worked ont very ugly case against
them, although the men deny their
guilt, incidentally confusing their
stories.
One of them had watch he wished
20 pawn and went unsuccessfully to
several dealers to get money on it. He
afterwards met an old Portuguese who
agreed TO give them ten dollars for it,
hut said that they would have to come
up to his house in Corkserew Lane.
After arrival the old man pulled out
n tobacco bag with about fifty dollars
in it and Just as he was going to hand
over the ten dollars he fell in a fit.
After he recovered he found his money
was gone After the chief had been
investigating the men S cases for sew
eraI days he found a young Portuguese
who claims to have seen the men feel
ing around the floor for the money
while they were assisting the old man.
One of the men asserts that his com
panion took some of the money. His
companion denies it, but it seems proba
kle that they are the best witnesses
the prosecution have.

BRAVE GIRL REWARDED.

AUSTIN, Pennsylvania, October o.
Kathleen Lyon, the telephone operator
who saved hundreds of lives last satur-
day afternoon by warning subscribers
down the flood swept valley, has re-
ceived substantial reward from her
employers.
Orders were issued yesterday by the
telephone company to put the sixteen
year-old operator on double pay as long
us she is in the employ of the com
pany Her double pay began with last
Saturday, when she shouted through
the transmitter: "The dam has
broken"
Anther girl probably will be similar
ly rewarded. She is Lena Dinekley.
Both girls We're employed in the same
exchange. Survivors of the disaster
figured that Miss Lyon was among the
dead until Sunday afternoon, when she
was found ON a hillside.
No sooner had Miss Lyon heard the
fire whistle, which was four miles from
where she was working, than she real
lied that the dam had given way. She
stuck to her switchboard and gave the
alarm to every one who had connee-
ton. While the crest of the flood was
swirling toward the telephone build
ing, on the hillside near the hospital,
to the outside world It was her calls
to telephone subscribers at Costello
that probably saved hundred lives.

WATER INVENTORY
PROCEEDING RAPIDLY

Geological Survey Martin will leave
for Maui today by the Mauna Loa,
from whence he will 60 to Hawaii.
His mission is in connection with the
department g inventory Of Hawaii s
waters" as the work is now being
called
Mr.. Martin will go to Maui and stay
for aboutNfour days with J. B. Stewart
in order to see that he understands
thoroughly the work to be undertaken
by him on behalf of the department
At Hawaii Mr.. Martin win join c. H.
Pierce who is carrying on the work of
the department on the Big Ialnnd.
This work Of checking up the Terri
tory g waters is an interesting one. but
very little seems to be known Of the
important department over which Mr..
Martin is presiding.
Uncle Sam wants to know exactly
what water is available in the States
and the Territory, as well as in Alaska
The state and territorial officials also
want to know this, and in many cases
it is valuable to citizens, and the re-
ports that are made by the officers of
the department are Of immense ben
eft.
In Hawaii, Uncle Sam is co-operat-
ing with the territorial officials to
ascertain the extent of the waters here
The work is not nearly finished yet,
but already some extensive results have
been attained. Take, for instance, the
proposed McCrosson ditch. This will
mean ninety miles of a ditch. The de-
partment has its officers over in the
vicinity making measurements that
will determine the amount Of water that
the ditch would divert.
1t is peculiar thing, said Mr.. Mar
tin yesterday, but all the Kauai Water
is ON the windward side of the island,
The Hanalei river is to have attention
soon, and when the department has
made its surveys, it win be able to
say what amount of water flows per
cubic foot, and whole lot of other
learned things that will be of consider
able use to those who are connected
with pursuits that need an irrigation
system in conjunction with them.

This will conclude the marching of
