Fable Of the Ape and tho Goat.

A well meaning ape, sitting up in
a cocoanut palm, looked down and
saw his friend, the goat, browsing
on the grass directly below. Said
the ape to himself.
Il ought to let old Whiskers in
on these good things, and I will"
Acting upon this generous i'm
pulse, he leaned over and let drop
an armful of cocoahuts, which,
landing in quick succession, like
shots from a rapid firing gun, right
IN the middle of the goats bump
of knowledge, broke his neck.
Moral.-M More men are done by
their friends than undone by their
enemies. Judge.

Working women in Washington do
not like the idea of having their
earning capacity trimmed twenty
percent which it is predicted will
follow the enactment of the Eight
Hour Bill now pending at Olympia.
Such a law will make it illegal for
women to work more than eight
hours. At present ten hours is the
maximum period. There is no in
tention to apply the same limitation
to men. This discrimination many
women are given to view with dis
favor. Particularly in the fruit
districts and along the coast in the
cannery sections is this true where
female labor is required during Ger
tain seasons of the year. Labor
agitators are responsible for the
measure, as the working women
have not displayed any frantic inter.
est in it so far.

Canned Music on the Farm

The Spokesman Review says that
the farmers of Australia have found
the photograph a useful as we'll as
a diverting instrument. Aside from
listening to the rendition of Crock
Of Ages" and "Sy's Visit to New
York" they have utilized the ingen-
ious device as a first aid to the
hired man.
''The Australian agriculturist takes
one home, for example, with some
blank records, and then at his leisure
calls into the receiver such familiar
words as "Poii, poll. poii," Co-boss,
co-boss," "Chick chick chick" and
when the time for calling the pigs
to the trough, summoning the cows
to the barn, or the chickens for the
twilight meal arrives, the instrument
is placed at a convenient vantage
point and the deed is done.
'As medium for making farm
life more enjoyable and diverting
this Australian idea might we'll be
adopted in the United States.
There would be uses other than
those relating to the summoning of
the live stock.
"A photographic announcement
in the early morning, "Get up, it's
time for Chores would be a con-
venient reminder to the SON of the
family, and the record for the
daughter, arranged to repeat itself
at 10 p. M, Its bedtime, sister"
would save many cold and trying
moments for the weary tiller of the
soil. Perhaps such records as
"What the matter with the supper,
maw?" or Paw. NAV wants you to
saw some wood" might be available.
The subject is certainly worth in
vestigating by all those interested
in the Improvement Of conditions
surrounding farm life of the present
day."

CHARGES MAGOON
WITH BIG FRAUD
DEPUTY AUDITOR TAKES UP
CAUSE OF SISTER ALLEGED TO
HAVE BEEN CHEATED.
DION Thnr.day 8 Advertlser.l


A somewhat sensational suit has been
started by papers filed in the circuit
court alleging fraud on the part Of
Attorney J. Alfred Magoon in prOcur.
ing from Mary Catherine Lloyd, sister
of Deputy Auditor Lloyd, a deed Of
trust to her entire estate valued at
$4,000 in return for which it is assert.
ed that he allows her but $50 per
month.
The petition is brought by James w.
Lloyd, and requests the court to APP
point guardian for his sister. The
claims Of the petitioner, as they will
be advanced in court, are based on the
fact that Miss Lloyd granted MagOon a
trust deed, under alleged influence, at
a time when deprived of any assist.
anee from her family and incompetent
to act for herself.
According to the petition, she sfis
of the age of thirty-nine years, and is
of feeble and distracted mind, =
and is possessed of real and personal
estate estimated at $20,000,n and that
"one J. Alfred Aiagoon, with full
knowledge of said mental incompe-
tency, fraudulently procured and in
duced her to transfer to him = a
large tract Of property situate in the
city,
While the cold phraseology of the
legal form is bitter enough in the
charges set forth, the statements that
the petitioner IS attorney says will be
advanced in court to back it up are
still more so, if true as stated.
According to the story, Miss Lloyd
was approached at time when she had
quarreled with her mother and gone to
live ON her own property and when her
brothers we're all absent, James being
in Siberia with A. L. c. Atkinson and
the others on Maui and in San Fran
cisco.
She was taken to Magoon, according
to data said to be ready to present in
court, with the statement that it would
be best for her to give him the control
of her properly through a trust deed
She claims to have demurred, but they
insisted and she finally signed the deed
Under the terms of the. trust deed
which is appended to the petition as
an exhibit, the trustee has full control
of the land until the death of the
grantor, Miss Lloyd, and does not have
to make an accounting to any person
or the court.

SIX JAPANESE ARE
LEFT TO Perish

SEATTLE, March 17.-Heavy fail
urez in the wooden and cloth trade in
Japan, the most serious being those of
the Wada and Matsui firms, are re-
ported in japanese mail advices
brought by the steamship Sado Maru,
which arrived from Yokohama today.
Each of the two failures mentioned in
vOlved half a million dollars.
Marooned and left to perish of star
walton, six Japanese plume gatherers
have been found dead on Saipan Island,
in the Carolines. They were hired by
Shimizu brothers Of Toxic and sent to
gather plumage and feathers, six being
left by the schooner Tora Maru on
Saipan and eight on Guam Island. In
October last the six men, whose food
had given out and who were i'll with
beriberi, signaled to the fora Maru
to be taken off, but no notice was
taken, and the schooner returned to
Japan. On February the vessel again
visited the island, and found six
eOrpses, with letter charging the com

district to the county of Hawaii He
had only Representative Kawewehi to
help him and the two stuck to their
guns to the last and went down with
colors flying.
The Oahu delegates and those from
the other islands wanted to hear from
the Hawaii members as to the bill be-
fCle they voted. They did, but it was
not particularly strong talk for the bill
that oozed out Of the Hawaii delega-
ton. Except from Affonso and Kawe-
wehi.
When IL came to final vote on the
bill all waited until the Hawaii mem
beers had voted and when It was seen
that they were for the most part

No. Return Promised.
Mr. Craig stated that the laborers
were employed only for the season,
which is of rather indefinite duration;
it commences in few weeks and runs
until the first freeze some time in Octo-
Der. No promises have been made to
these men to return them to the Is
lands, nor indeed, to transport them
from Alaska when the season is closed.
Relative to the laborers scheduled
to sail or the Wilhelmina, the Sierra,
and the Korea this week, Mr.. Craig
denied that all of these were his men.
He denied having four hundred OF
these people, or anything like that
number.
In regard to the wages TO be paid
in the canneries he said that they were
much higher than the wages paid on
the Islands. Exact figures he refused
to divulge.

He also stated that he had not been
enlisting laborers off the island of Ga.
hui, nor, indeed, had he made any ar
engagements with men outside of the
city of Honolulu.
In reply to the question as to how
long he expected to remain on the Is

know; that he hoped to leave on the
Korea, but whether he did so or not

Diversified industries was the cause
Of considerable diversified fun in
the house yesterday, when H. B. OIL
came up for third reading. This bill
encourages" by exempting from tax
alton for several years all land ana
tools used in the growing Of cotton, to-
bacco, rubber, cOpra and sisal. The
sisal was included by an amendment
yesterday introduced by Representative
Yates. The bill itself was introduced
by Representative Williamson and
fathered by Representative Towse.
Following the amendment by Yates
came one by Sheldon to include straw
berries, roses, papayas, grapes and a
few other things. Then Correa pro
posed that rice be included and made
an eloquent talk on how important this
industry was in the Islands, bat now it
was losing ground since the taxes had
gone up and the water had gone down.
Fernandez thought 1t would be a
good thing to include lemons and sub
.mitted an amendment 10 that effect.
BY this time some Of the delegates were
laughing 80 heartily that they could not
hear the latest amendment. Then tho
man from Hllo got up and moved that
the amendments be tabled.
Everybody wnnted 70 vote for their
own but FOR none % she other amend
