LAND Option
Is Now Ste of Sugar Estate
Getting Mill from This
City

| MANILA, July ga million peso
sugar mill. to be completed and in
operation not later than the 1914-I91j
grinding season, will be erected or
the Calamba sugar estate, Laguna
! province, which was recently pur
chased from the government by John
NJ. SwitZer, assistant manager of the
Pacific Commercial Company, at pres
ent absent on vacation in California
William Stodart, representing the
Honolulu Iron Works Company, who
arrived in Manila a few days ago to
look into the prospects for building
| more modern sugar centra1s in the
Philippines, is at present at Calamba
to make a complete inspection of the
estate, with a view to picking out a
suitable site for the new mill and
making an estimate of the amount
and nature Of machinery required.
The mill will be similar to the one
recently constructed on the San Jose
estate, Mindoro Mr.. Stodart is &C.
companied on his trip to CaIamba by
j. j. Newcombe, who Is the local re-
preventative of Fowler & Company,
the well known cable pillow manufae-
turers of Leeds, England. The nee
essary machinery will be ordered i'm.
mediately.,
The Calamba estate comprises an
area Of $4,000 acres and was formerly
friar land on which an option was
purchased in 1910 by F. w. Thayer,
who was supposed to represent the
Dillinghams Of Honolulu. The story
of Thayer's shortlived career as an
investor in the Philippines still lin
gers freshly in the minds of the Ma
Cila' public. His estate went into the
hands Of receiver, and the option on
the purchase of the Calamba estate
fell into the hands of D. M. Carman,
one of Thayer's principal creditors.
Some months ago Mr.. Carman sold
the option to John M. Switzer, who
finally purchased the estate, shortly
before his departure for the United
States, less than three months ago.
The career of Mr.. Switzer, who is
low the owner of the second largest
sugar estate in the Philippines, is in
teresting. A graduate of the Califor-
mia State University, he came to the
Philippines with the California vol
unteers during the instruction days
and was honorably discharged from
the army, as a corporal; in Cebu. He
began his business career in Cebu by
buying and selling second hand bi-
cycles, and from that gradually built
up trade in general merchandise
which made him one of the. merchant
princes of the Philippines.

MOB TO HANG
GIRLS SLAYER
WHEN CAUGHT

BANGOR, Me.-Death at the end OF
a rope seems inevitable for the farm
hand being sought in the woods, near
North Carmel today. He is sought as
the slayer of Naomi Mitchell, thir-
teen years old, whose mutilated body
was found in a cornfield.
Men and women, armed with ropes,
shot-guns, rifles and revolvers, are on
lis trail today. His supposed hiding
rlace is surrounded.
Sheriff White, of Penobscot county,
is rushing to the scene, but citizens
are determined they and not the law
shall punish him.
About sunrise it was reported he
had been surrounded and could not
escape.
The mother of the slain girl is dan
gerously ill., Her death has not been
mentioned to her.
The child was returning from a
store when she was attacked and
dragged from the roadway. Her
throat was cut, and a gag was found
in her mouth.

MURDER MYSTERY
IS CLEARED UP

MANILA, P. l., July 201The mys-
terry that has surrounded the disap-
pearance of John r. Waldroop, of the
bureau of lands, has been cleared up
by the excellent work of the constab-
ulary.
Colonel Thomas l. MAR and Major
Olsen and their subordinates have
accomplished a work that deserves
highest praise, especially when condi-
tons that were to be overcome are
taken into account.
The remains of John r. Waldroop
have been recovered and are at pres
ent in this city. The body was discov-
cred by the constabulary in lonely
spot in the mountains of Tayabas, and
some distance off the regular trail.
All that was mortal of John r.
Waldroop was contained in a box
aboue one foot wide, one foot deep and
three feet long. They were badly de-
composed, but Identification was be-
yond doubt, as the shoes and socks
were still with the remains as well as
other means of identification.
Major Olsen stated that the remains
were found under an improvised
shack, far up in the mountains, where
it was evident that the body had been
carried after death. All clothing eX-
cept the shoes and stockings had been
removed from the body.
From the best evidence obtainable'
it is evident that the guides had led
Waldroop off the trail, then murdered
him and after the murder had carried
the remains some distance, apparently
to cover all traces of the crime.
The murderers are still out in the
hills, but the constabulary officials
stated yesterday that they were conf
dent that they would be able to locate
them and that it was only matter of
a few weeks, possibly days, until they
would be arrested and brought to JUS
tice. A

al quiyering OF the muscles of his
arms he gave no evidence of being in
pain. Until the bullet was removed
kunow remained conscious. Then ne
had a conyulsion. Several times duF
ing the day he suffered commissions
which the doctors said, came from the
pain he had insisted on standing.
You can't kill man like that with

physician. Il don't believe such a dis
play of nerve has ever been witnessed.
