Continued from page nine.)

If anything of this kind is going on
an end to it will be made through
the proper channels.
The work can now be handled much
better than in the past, as the result
of the appointment of the district in
spectors. Before this Mr.. Bowman
was compelled to handle all this work
alone and it was altogether impossible
for one man to look after it. When
you consider that this island is nearly
the size of the state of Connecticut,
the idea of having one man do all the
work of this kind is shown to be be-
yond reason. Now the district inspect
ors can get around much more often
and in case of doubtful goods can send
samples to Honolulu from which we
can make a careful analysis.
Short Weight Ham and Bacon.
"All over the islands and in Homo
lulu especially we find the hams and
bacon to be of short weight. How far
these things go can be seen from the
fact that in Honolulu l found one ham,
labeled at thirteen and a half pounds
the actual weight of which was only
eight pounds. This is done by the
firms in order to beat out their com
petitors on the price per pound By
having short weights they offer a price
a cent of two lower, which attracts
trade, though in reality the consumer
is very much the loser on what he
thinks is a very good bargain. There
is a slight shrinkage in hams, but by
no means that which would account
for the low weights.
81 do not expect to make the trip
through the Hamakua district and the
work there can be attended to by Mr..
Bowman and his men, as I have
promised to devote all the rest of my
time, before sailing of the Mauna Kea,
to Hilo. ! shall probably make an
other trip in the near future and in case
the milk situation turns out as bad
as it appears on the start, will pay
Hilo a special visit just to take up this
matter. Such milk as that testing one
and four tenths per cent of butter fat,
is out of the question and shall GER
tainly start prosecution in such cases.
Nothing has been done in the case
mentioned on account of the fact that
the sample had passed through several
hands before l received it and that
would make our case in court weak
one. In all cases where we prosecute
care is taken till the analysis is made
and the usual custom is to seal the
container of the sample as soon as
possible, thus preventing any chance
of adulteration. .a

Laugh at Yarn About spy.
WASHINGTON, August o. The
war Department received today a
dispatch from Captain James d. Wat.
son, of the Coast Artillery United
States Army, WHO is in charge Of the
recruiting office in indianapolis, Ind,
giving the details of a request made
to the War Department through him
by Miss Clara Dyer, for the discharge
of Private George Petr, a private in
the One Hundred and Thirty-ffth
Company of Coast Artillery, stationed
at Fort Totten, N. " on the ground
that she was married to him, and he
is an officer in the Austrian army on
spy duty for the Austrian government
to learn how our high explosives are
made.
Congress last winter passed a law
agains. the disclosure Of national de-
Tense secrets, which admits of a
prison sentence of ten years where
the person convicted attempts or sue
ceeds in communicating to a foreign
government secrets of a military ma
ture. For the lessor offense of max
ing sketches or photographs or gain
ing knowledge illicitly of any part Of
our system of defenses, a person so
convicted may be imprisoned one
year or fined $1,000.
General Ainsworth said today that
the man Petr had a good record, was
a good-looking soldier and did not
seem to be such a fool as to go into
the army to get any such knowledge
Of our high explosives, which he could
acquire more easily and speedily out
of it. The charge made by Peters wife
that her husband wanted to furnish
the Austrian government with d
knowledge of explosive d or Dunnite,
is very amusing to army officers, who
know that this explosive was long
ago abandoned, that every informa-
ton service in Europe knows all
about it, and about a dozen other
high explosives that have succeeded
Dunnite.

Fake Lard.

There is one interesting matter
which I noted in coming around the
island, that if you went into a store
and asked for lard, you would not get
what you asked for in a single case.
Every time you would be given a COM
pound of beef fat, oleostearine and
cotton seed oil which, to be sure, is not
injurious, but is by no means lard. The
containers which this comes in are
properly labeled, but the way in which
it is sold as lard is a deception in that
an inferior goods is substituted for the
article you have asked for. Most Of
the storekeepers, especially the Orient
ais, think that they are selling lard,
when as a matter of fact they are not

trip to take up prosecutions, unless
some particularly fragrant case pre-
sents itslf, such as the milk which
| have mentioned. While l am work
ing for the Territory and have just as
much authority here rs in Honolulu, it
seems to me to be more a matter for
the local men to handle where pos
sible. l have seen no oleomargarine
whatever on this island, though some
of the butter in the restaurants in the
country districts was very poor, this
being due in great part to the lack of
ice. l hope the next time | come up
to see a great improvement in many
ways.

UNION STRIKERS ARE
ALWAYS ORDERLY

Lessons are to be learned from
strikes of organized and unorganized
bodies of women or men. The gar
ment workers of New York and Chi
Cago who struck were not organized,
and riots, of greater or lesser degree
occurred, intensified by the acts OF
the police. When the Garment Work
ers' Union took hold Of the strikes,
there was less friction. The strike
at McKeesport, Pa, in the steel in
dustry, is still fresh in the minds of
the nation. They were not organized.
The American Federation of Labor
brought order out of choas.
n the other hand, we have the
United Miners of America, with hun
dreds of thousands Of men out; the
Machinists with thousands out; the
Printing Pressmen and the Typo
graphical Union struggle for an
eight-hour day. In the cases where
the workmen and Workwomen were
organized there was scarcely any
strife; where they were not organized,
the first weeks of the strikes were
marked by unnecessary bloodshed.
The east side bakers in New York
was another example where the ma
jority of the workmen were unor-
ganized and struggled against condi.-
tons unbearable. This should prove
to governments that organization is
for the best interest of the commun-
ity.-Exchange.

DIR. MOELLFR IS GUILTY
Ten Years in Penitentiary for
Having Caused the Death of
Miss Gina Lien.

The jury in the case against Dr.
Thor Moeller, who has been on trial in
the district court at Minot for several
days, charged with having caused the
death of Gina Lien of Union, Cavalier
county, brought in a verdict of guilty of
murder in the second degree at nine
o'clock last Saturday morning.
The jury recommended the minimum
penalty which is ten years in the state
penitentiary. A stay of execution for ten
days was granted in which motion for
a new trial will be made, and if refused
an appeal will be taken to the supreme
court .
Miss Lien who was engaged in the
teaching of music at Nekoma and other
500 line towns, died in hotel in Mlnot
after having undergone criminal opera
ton. She died alone after having been
visited by the accused in the evening
before her body was found the next
morning. DR.. Moeller contended that
the operation which caused her death
had been performed before he was called
and that he only trsated her for the re-
sultant complication.
H. was tried on the same charge once
before and was found guilty, the court
imposing ten year sentence. The case
was appeal and reversed and sent back
to the district court for new trial
which result in the verdict Of guilty
today.

REDUCED TO ASHES

near by were saved from the blazing fire
brands swept by strong northwest
wind over the residence part of the city
No attempt was made to enter either of
the schools after the fire started, 1t be-
ing known that the character of its con-
struction with continuous basement
under both buildings aided the rapid
spread of the flames and made the
rooms above a veritable death trap to
anyone daring to enter.
The two buildings, the first built in
1891, and the new annex erected in 1899
the latter being the exact counter part
of tho old building-represented an
aggregate cost of about $13,500, and the
fixtures and equipment that had been
constantly added to from year to year
amounted to at least $4,000 more. In
surance was carried on the property in
the sum of S10,500, and taking into con-
sideration the loss which the children
sustain individually IN school books
makes the loss total up to figure exceed
ing $2OOOO.
Incident to the first discovery of the
fire it may be stated that Engineer Jas.
Carson OF the electric light plant
Thought he smelled something like burn
ing pine boards when he left the plant
for his home at about midnight. DR..
Mugan. who left the Office down town
for his home about the time the lights
went out at twelve o'clock experienced
something unusual in the same way as
Carson. These two incidents substan-
tiate the idea chat the school house had
been afire in the basement for some little
time when the conhagration was first
discovered by Sandberg who gave the
alarm nearly an hour later.
The alarm of fire was given by blow.
ing two whistles at the light plant, both
the day whistle and the one used in
case of fire being used, also the bell at
the city hall was requisitioned. People
out of town at distance OF several miles
report having been awakened by the
fire alarm given. Albert Myers, whose
farm is east of town on the morning after
the fire found the snow around his place
blackened by cinders which had been
carried from the scene of the confagra-
ton, distance of two miles. Here in
townit required constant watch Of
property owners IN the path of the fire
brands to avert the starting of what
might have resulted in number of bad
fires.
