Mr.. Latta was asked to inspect the
ferry boats in regard to the installa-
ton of oil burners, and at the same
time was asked to submit his tender.
The manager of the ferry was in

firms, and also the saving which would
be gained by using oil burners instead
of coal.-Vancouver News-Advertiser

The Technical pefenses.

Among matters set up by defendants
other than James B. Castle in demur-
rers it was contended that there was
no joint contract with them shown in
the memoranda Of contract in the eX-
hibits, but only contract with James
B. Castle, and further that there was
no showing made that Castle was
authorized to act for them 1t was
also demurred that the damages al
legged to have been sustained by the
plaintiff were inconsequential, too re-
mote, uncertain and speculative. More
over, the contract, if there was any,
was contended to be Illegal, against
the policy of the law and void
The Boston Campaign.
There is an affidavit by W. r. Cas-
tie on file, in which affiant relates
various interviews had with him by
Mr. Silliman in Boston, where he
spent the winter of 1905-06. After
pumping" affiant concerning the well
fare and whereabouts of his brother,
James B. Castle, Mr.. Silliman told him
that "a lawyer of good repute' had in.
formed Lowrie that he had a good
cause of action against affiant and
others on account of Lowrie's former
connection with the Hawaiian Com.
mercial and Sugar Co. At the same
time he handed to affiant a complaint
, to be filed in the circuit court Of the
first circuit, Territory of Hawaii, Law
ing first said that he had examined
the facts and believed that without
question there was a good cause OF
action. Mr. Castle says he did not
have time then to examine the ccin'
plant with great care, but expressed
himself as greatly surprised that sdch
an idea should have entered enybody'a
mind that said Lowrie had any cause
of action, and stated that if such &C
ton was brought this deponent would
be ready to attend to the same in
Hawaii
THAT said Silliman thereupon con
versed further with deponent in an
urgent manner, apparently seeking foI
information on the subject, and init
mating that an offer of compromise
would be considered, although ne stat
ed to deponent that he (Silliman) die
not ask deponent to make any offer o
compromise"

took place a few days later, whe,ei,

The Damage Sustained.

Nevertheless, Lowrie went on to de-
clare, the defendants and Alexander
wrongfully caused the plaintiff to be
dismissed as such manager in Janu-
airy, 1902, before the work of improve
ment was finished, and before he had
been able to dispose of his other Sc
curities on terms satisfactory to him
self, and before he had been able to
pay for the 5000 shares in the man
ner contemplated in the contract
I Complainant represented that defend.
ants and Alexander, by reason of their
wrongful acts, caused him to lose not
only the 5000 shares of H. G. & S.
Co.'s stock, but 1000 shares of Eva
Plantation Co. s stock deposited there
with as security for the $150,0OO OBJ
legation mentioned, leaving him in a
precarious financial position.
If they had not broken the contract
Lowrie set forth, he would have beer
able before May, 1906, to pay for and
retain the 5000 shares of stock, as
well as sell the other securities OF
terms perfectly satisfactory to him
self. Further he said that on Oh
about that time he would have com
pleted the execution of his plans OF
the plantation, whereby it's earning ca
pacity would have been so increased
that his 500 shares would have beer
worth at least $55O,OOO, whereas b!
the wrongful acts mentioned he wal
compelled to part with the shares TO

to one or more of the defendants as
part of the purchase price of the

His Plans Adopted.
He declared he was appointed as
manager according to contract and
proceeded to carry out plans for the
Improvement and development of the
plantation, and to increase it's yield
and enhance the value of the compa-
ny's shares of stock These plans
were approved by S. T. Alexander and
were diligently pursued by the plain
tiff until the breach of the contract
by the defendants and Alexander, and
since the breach had been carried to
practical completion by the defend
ants to the great profit of all the
stockholders. At all times he faith
fully and diligently discharged all the
duties on his part to be performed and
was ready and willing to keep and
perform all of the terms of the con
tract.

ESCAPES WITH WRONG TWIN.
Planned to Wed Mary, But Took Sis.
ter Betty by Mistake.

Capt. Harry R. Edwards of the
schooner May H. eloped from Kent
Island Monday night with Miss Betty
Harrison, daughter of G. F. Harrison,
a farmer who lives near Annapolis,
Ind.
Edwards spent his vacation last
summer at a house near that of the
Harrisons, who had twin daughters.
People living on the Island have often
mistaken one of them for the other
and that was what Edwards did when
he eloped Monday night. He landed
from the schooner intending to elope
with Mary Harrison. He met Betty
first, and thinking she was Mary hur-
ried her off to a parson and then
aboard the schooner.
The schooner is somewhere in Che
sapeake Bay, with Edwards and his
wife aboard, headed for Baltimore,
while Mary is mourning the fate that
Leaves her a single woman. 1t was re-
ported last summer that Betty was
jealous of the attention paid her sis
ter by Edwards, and it IS believed
she learned Edwards was going to
marry Mary, and decided the best
way to stop it was to marry him her
self.

GREAT PANIC AT Annoy
TAOTAI CHANG FLED TO HONG
KONG DURING NIGHT.
Fear of Poisoned Wells Allayed by

Il
Arrival 'of American and British
Warships as City Passes to Rebels.
The Republican tri-color waves
over Annoy, China, now. There is no
disorder, the shops remain open and
there is a general feeling Of relief.
Early Tuesday morning crowds be-
gan to assemble for a conference
with the revolutionary leaders.
At 2::3O o'clock the gunboat Quen-
kai, flying the dragon flag cast off
her lines and steamed out of the har-
Dor. Then about 600 revolution
lists formed in line and marched to
the walled city where they raised the
Republican emblem over the Taotai's
palace at 2:05 o'clock.
Sim ultaneously few tri-colors
were displayed in other quarters Of
the city. Many Japanese and white
flags also appeared.
Excitement that preceded the
change Of government was quickly
allayed. Fear Of excesses had kept
the populace in a nervous state. For
several days there had been no local
government aid the maintenance Of
public order devolved upon Yolunteed
guards recruited from the best fam
lilies.
On Sunday representatives Of the
conservative element who favored the
temporary independence of the city
made futile attempt to comprc-
mise with the radical faction which
demanded the surrender of the city
to the revolutionists. MONDAY night
it was plain the radicals were in con-
troll and, alarmed at the possibility
of mob rule Taotai Chang fled to
Hong Gong.
Throughout the night feeling Of
uneasiness prevailed and this was in
creased Tuesday morning that the
wells of the city had been poisoned
by Manchus from Foochow. Later
in the day quiet prevailed. The ar
rival of the American cruiser Sara
toga, the monitor Monterey and the
gunboat Quires and the British tor
Dedo boat destroyers Janus and
Virago this morning helptd to restore
confidence.
Thirteen vessels of the Imperial
fleet went over to the revolutionists
at Shanghai Tuesday morning, hoist
ing the white flag between 0 and 10
o'clock. One of the largest cruisers
steamed up the river past the settle
ment and dropped the white ensign
in salute to the foreign warships, to
which none of them responded.

Angry Mob Threatens to Lynch As
sailant OF Young Girl.

At Meyersdale, Pa, hundreds Of
enraged citizens surrounded the bor-
ough Jail Friday night, threatening to
lynch Isaiah Dorman, aged 22, ne
gro, who is alleged to have attacked
Ethel Morgan, a white child, aged
8 years Thursday night. After max
ing two attempts to set the negro to
the county Jail at Somerset, Pa, the
authorities were compelled to rush
the prisoner back to the borough Jail.
At each attempt the mob intercepted
them and almost secured the negro.
At 9:30 they decided to barricade the
Jail and try to keep off the mob un-
til reinforcements arrive. Recruits
are pouring in from the country dis
tricts to aid the mob, while men are
being summoned from all parts of
the country to protect the negro. *

cir. Wickersham's Reply.
Office of Attorney General,

Office Of Attorney General,
Washington, D. c., Nov. 6, 1911.
Hon. Wyatt Aiken, NJ. NJ, Abbeville,
South Carolina.
My Dear Sir: l have your favor of
31st ultimo. l quite agree with you
on the general proposition that, ii
cornering a product which is dealt in
interstate commerce, for the purpose
Of increasing its price, is illegal, SIM
liar cornering for the purpose of de-
pressing its price is likewise illegal.
The formation Of a corner for the in
creasing Of the price is easily under
stood. \ number of men get togeth-
er and. by their combined means or
credit, buy up enough OF the commod-
ity to contrOll the market, withhold
it from sale until the demand for it
forces the price to the point at which
they are willing to let it go, and
thereby impose upon the manufactul.
er, who must use the product. the
burden of an artificial price.
1t is not so clear by what process 4
"bear pool is organized or conduct
ed, and have no evidence in this de-
partment Of tangible character
which enables me to form the opinion
that any designated individuals have
combined to depress the price Of cot
ton below its normal figure. More
.ver, it is not quite clear in my mind
how such a bear pool can operate
to restrain interstate commerce. I
suppose the method by which such a
combination would operate would be
to throw upon the market at a given
time a quantity of commodity in ex-
cess Of the demand which would re-
suit in its being taken only at prices

ATLANTA JUDGE SAYS GAME
WAS WORKED ON HIM.


Preacher in Atlanta Seems to BE
Mixed Up.
An Atlanta dispatch says the Fer
rell matrimonial case is holding the
minds of people of that city puzzled,
as one development follows another
in surprising succession. Letters
have been received by Judge Nash r.
Broyles from Gaffney, S. c., indicat-
ing that the man who appeared be-
fore him last Thursday saying he was
the Rev. WA. Ferrell was an i'm
personator who simply wanted to
clear the name Of Ferrell.
On November l man giving his
name as Rev. w. A. Ferrell was ar
rested on complaint of young lady,
the man having answered anony-
mously an advertisement she placed
in the paper asking for a position
as bookkeeper and offering to marry
her. The case was dismissed as the
mans proposition seemed to have
been sincere.
Last Thursday another gentleman
presented himself to Judge Broyles
with letters showing he was Rev. w.
A. Ferrell and declared that the first
man was an imposter who had used
his name without authority. The
Judge gave him a letter of eXonera-
tion.
Letters just received indicate that
a friend of the real Rev. Ferrell who
was in fact tried in Atlanta, came
to Atlanta and obtained the exonera-
ton by deception. A pictore was
sent in one Of the letters-a minia-
ture of Rev. w. A. FerTell--and it
is pronounced by the judge and court
attendants as a photograph of the
man who was tried at Atlanta for his
want-al wooing.
, The case seems to be much mixed
up. Mr.. Ferrell may have to ap-
peal to his conference, which soon
meets at Bennettsville to look into
the matter and eXonerate him. This
is the best course for him to pur-
sue if he was not really the man who
was tried before Judge Broyles at
Atlanta.

TELLS AWFUL STORY
ENGLISH OFFICER WRITES OF
ITALIAN CRUELTY.
Lieut.. Herbert Montague Declares
That European Troops Are Prac-
ticing Barbarious Atrocities.

A cablegram from London says agi-
tation against atrocities by Italians
in Tripoli, which has sprung up in
the British press and is supported by
q few members Of the house Of COM
mons since uncensored reports ar
rived from English newspaper corre-
spondents concerning recent occur
rences in Tripoli, received fresh i'm
petus through a telegram received by
a news agency from Herbert Monta-
que, a second lieutenant in the Fifth
Fusiliers. He telegraphed from
Soulkeli, via the Tunis frontier:
Il feel it my duty to send to you
the following telegram and beg you
in the name Of Christianity to publish
it throughout England. l am an Eng
lish officer, now a volunteer, serving
in the Turkish army here.
"As you know already about the
ferccieus resistance which the Turks
and Arabs are Offering the Italians, l
will only express my admiration for
their bravery and fortitude, which
would warm the hearts Of any Eng
lishman or of any true soldier in the
world.
Imagine my feelings when. on en-
tering and driving the Italians out Of
Arab houses, which they had fortified
and were holding, we discovered the
bodies of some 120 women an chill
dren with their hands and feet
bound, mutilated, pierced and torn.
Later on we found a mosque filled
with bodies Of women and children
mutilated almost beyond recognition
I could not count them, but there
must have been 900 or 400.
'"Can not England do something to
stop such horror In our Christian
times you can hardly believe it, but
is true nevertheless. l myself have
seen it, so l know. Even nov we are
getting news Of further massacres of
women discovered on different farms
lately occupied by Italians when they
slaughtered the innocents obviously
was one of revenge for their heavy
losses in battle. We ar at this point
under heavy sllrappel Of fire, so you
must eXcue me If the sentences arc
somewhat disjointed. There is also
an aercplane circling over our posi-
ton and directing the enemy's gun
fire Oh U.s." '.
