EVERY VALLEY
BREEDS PESTS
Mosquito Work Does Not Touch
Many Spots for
Wrlgplers.

ifWhy arc there 30 many mosquitoes
In Honolulu why shouldn't there be

Of the city is one groat breeding place
and no attempt is being made to stop
the insects from breeding out there just
as fast as nature allows"
So speaks one who has made It his
business to investigate mosquito condi-
tions IN the city and its surroundings.
According TO what he finds out there IS
no possibility of Honolulu ever ridding
itself OF the mosquito plague with the
present efforts. There will be times
when the pests are very much less in
evidence, but this will be because the
weather conditions have not been ia.
vorable for the breeding of the pests
OF for their staying in the city. Very
dry weather will reduce the number,
strong trade winds will blow the big
swarms out to sea, but the present work
of the mosquito campaigners is thrown
away so far as any big or permanent
results are to be expected.

CELTIC Chief CASE
STILL CONTINUES
Captain Miller Now on Stand in
Famous Salvage Pro-
Ceedings.
(From Wednesdays Advertiser. J

(From Wednesdays Advertiser)
Captain Fred. @. Miller, of Miller
Salvage Company, was on the stand in
the famous Celtic Chief salvage case in
the federal court yesterday afternoon,
and he was still under direct examina.
tion at the time court adjourned until
this morning.
There wero many objections made
by opposing attorneys to the questions
asked by Attorneys Magoon and Weav-
er, who represent the company of which
Captain Miller is the head
The captain testified to the tackle
used in getting the stranded ship from
the reef, and his testimony, when asked
whether the hawser used by the Arcona
was strong enough to pull off the vessel
alone, was objected to by the opposing
attorneys.
Don't Know Strength.
In response to a question Captain
Miller said that NO one could tell what
the strength of a steel hawser was, be-
cause there were flaws in its manufac-
ture many times.
'Ono steel hawser much smaller than
another may Withstand a stronger pull
on account of some defect in the laI ger
one" said Miller, "and no one can
tell what such rope will do.
The tensile strength of Manila haw-
sers can be found by tables in which
the strength of the different sizes is
computed, and it is on those tables
which we rely when figuring on what
kind of Manila rope to use. When
it comes to wire hawsers, there is moth.
ing to go bY, and it is impossible to
tell their strength"
Contractor Testifes.
Before Captain Miller was called to
the stand, j. Sato, Japanese labor
contractor, gave evidence as to number
of men he supplied to Captain Miller
on various occasions, and at the time
he was working on the Celtic Chief.
When court adjourned at four clock
Captain Miller was still giving testi-
mony on direct examination which will
be continued this morning when court
cOnvenes.
New Interpreter.
During the morning session there was
little doing besides taking testimony in
the Celtic Chief ease, Julius Bayer was
sworn in as German interpreter for the
term, and L w. NJ. Sehukerk of the
German bark Alexander Isenberg was
arrested as a witness in the gin SNUG.
Cling case for which Phoney Davis and
Mitchell will be tried at the October
term of the court
Schukerk is a sailor ON the Isenberg
and he will be held here until the case
comes TO trial, although his vessel will
sail in short time.

HIS REASON GONE
Former Kansan Believed to Be
Insane in Mexican Prison.
Salina Man Thinks He Saw Geo.
C. Fitch.
INTO YAQUI DISTRICT.
When Last Heard From kanSan
Was in Sonora.
INTO YAQUI DISTRICT.
Senator BristOW Asked to Inter-
est State Department.

Salina, Kan, April belief that his
brother is incarcerated in a Mexican
prison has stirred Karl F. Fitch Ct
Eoncordia to action and he was in Sa-
Inadvertently trying to get informd-
ton thct would help him out in his
search. Among other things he is taking
the matter up with Senator Bristow at
Washington in the hope that the de-
partment of the United States may be
enlisted in his behalf.
Seven years ago a brother of Karl
Fitch, George c. Fitch, disappeared
and since that time his relatives have
been unable to get hold of a clue that
would lead to any knowledge of his To-
cation or his condition. The last word
That his relatives had from him was
MAT he was mining in the state OF
8onora, in Mexico. Sonora is in the
heart of the mining di.trict of Mexico
and is the home of the Yaqui Indians,
who have given the Mexican govern
n1ent trouble for years. Hundreds of
foreigners have been killed in this dis
trict but because it contains more min
eral wealth than any other portion of
the republic, there are still hundreds OF
others who will run the risk in order
10 make an attempt to secure fortune
Mr.. Fitch has made one trip to Mex
leo trying to locate his brother, and his
visit to Salina was made to follow up
another clue. Edwin Parmenter, son
Of f c. Parmenter, of Salina, has been
IN Mexico, and Mr.. Fitch had a talk
with. him last night. AS a result of this
Interview he is inclined to believe that
his. brother is in a Mexican prison AT
AguSs Calientas. In December OF last
YEAR Edwin Parmenter was in that city
and saw man in Jail there whose
description tailed so closely to that or
the missing man that Mr.. Fitch fears
1t may be his brother.
Parmenter had talk with the man
IN Jail and from this talk and other
Information he gained around the city
ne is inclined to believe that the long
confinament in prison has partially de-
stroyed the prisoners reason. TO MI
,armtnter he denied having any rela-
lives. but the description he gives Is
"a close to that of George c. Fitch that
his brother from Concordia feels certain
mat he has a clue that is worth follow
ing. .,o.. -.,.to,,
,,o,11e Parmenter gained in Mexico this
1,ris,1er who fits the description of the
3,,tseing George c. Fitch, was trans
fer-ed from Aguas Calientas to Aaca-
4fras on December r. 1910. In Mexico
saa common method of getting rid OF
%risoners is to transfer them from one
mini TO another. He is placed under
lard of a detachment of rurales ana
rShen thew return they bring back the
IsS,forroatiou that the prisoner was shor
ssfrvino to escape" This is another
<eaf1Ire of the case that worries MI
ss1J+cb as he is afraid that even II ne
~fo,,1d he on the right track he VIII
,1ever be able to get any definite in
formation.

lola. Kan, April 1T took just one
pretty girl, and not a militant suffrag-
cite, either, to check the tide of social
ism at Gas City. She is Miss Myrtle
Eastwood, assistant cashier of the Gas
City bank and treasurer-elect of the
town.
Gas City is a factory town, and many
of the workingmen there are socialists.
Fearing that alone they would be I'M
able to carry the town, the Republicans
and Democrats of Gas City nominated
a fusion ticket for the city election
April 4. Miss Eastman was named
for city treasurer, and she proved a
drawing card She had cashed the
checks for the smelter employees on
many pay days and they liked her for
the courteous treatment she had given
them. Everybody was eager to see the
girl get the office, and as a result the
entire fusion ticket was elect Tues
day.

JAIL FOR WICHITA OFFICIALS.
Judge Lectures Them for Not Obeying
Court Injunction.

Wichita, Kan, April 7.-District
Judge Wilson has held Mayor Charles
Dawson and the four local commits
sioners in contempt of court and de-
clared unless the injunction of his
court is obeyed by June he will send
them all to jail. The contempt pro-
ceedings originated from the alleged
negligence of the city officials to obey
an injunction secured by Mrs. Martha
Courier January 6, preventing the
alteration of a curb line in front of
Mrs. Courter's property. No action
was taken by the city to remove the
offending curb line, and the officials
were called into court yesterday by
Judge Wilson, who severely arraigned
them, declaring that if it became
necessary to punishm them he would
make the penalty Imprisonment in
stead of fine.
