Mr.. Peck stated in an interview
with The Advertiser two weeks ago
that the Rapid Transit, or Traction
Bill, had been reported to the commit

time that there was possibility of his

WANT EMBARGO ON
AvOCAD0S RAISED
Local Fruit Growers Are Now
Seeking to Convince the Cali
fornia Authorities. /

An effort will be made by fruit
growers to have an embargo on alliga.
tor pears raised by California. The al
ligator pear season is approaching. The
thickness of the skin in it's green state,
the amount of oil it contains, is not
particularly adapted as a home for the
fly, say growers, and as the fruit must
be shipped in the green state, there is
absolutely no fear of the fly.
The alligator pear industry has been
given a body blow in the restrictions
of the California authorities. Pears
sell on the Coast for from fifty cents
to dollar each and always find a ready
market. In fact, it is the one ship.
ment from Hawaii which never fails
of market, and all sorts of fancy
prices are paid for the avocado.
The express company has done an
enormous business transporting alliga-
tor pears in past years, season s ship
ments amounting to large sum both
in express charges and in returns from
| the sales. With careful Grating they
have been shipped as far east as Chi
cago. The California, market, however
is the one sought for by the local grow.
ers, as they are always sure of dispos
ing of all they ship to San Francisco
and other Coast cities. The leading
hotels are always glad to get them.
Henry Davis, one of the leading
Iavocado growers on this island, who
has grove of trees at Wahiawa,
states that he has never known the
fruit fly to penetrate the pears of Wa
hiawa and is certain that if prompt
and united action is taken by growers
through Market Superintendent Star
rett and the local representatives of
California, the embargo may be re
moved.

CHINESE JUNK TO
COME THIS WAY

YOKOHAMA, May 22.-On June 10,
if no unforeseen circumstances arise, a
large Chinese junk will sail from the
dock at YangtsZepoo, first for Japan
and then go to the United States. The
object of this trip is in order to give
the American people an opportunity
of seeing a Chinese junk, which is the
same in design now as thousands of
years ago. The junk will leave under
her own sail, and will cross the Pacific
under the captaincy of Captain Scurr,
who was for long time in the employ
of Messrs. Jardine Matheson.
The junk has been purchased by an
American officer, who has transferred
it to the command of Captain Scurr,
under whose supervision it is being
fitted in way as to render it suitable
for such a long and tedious voyage.
She has been thoroughly strengthened
and the steering gear has been warped.
Care has been taken, in internal alter
ations, to preserve as much as posi-
BILE the original appearance of the YES
sci, though under the need of the
crew, which is to be a picked one and
composed entirely of Europeans, more
accommodation has been deemed neces-
sary. The vessel is of 240 tons, and
about 1e0 feet long, but is not the
smallest that has crossed the Pacific
We are informed that two years ago
smaller junk crossed the ocean. The
junk will first proceed to Los Angeles,
to take part in the commercial exhibi.
tion which opens there next year, and
later will be sent to San Francisco to
take part in the Panama exhibition
On arrival Chinese crew, to give il
its local color, win be engaged. II
is expected that, with fair weather, the
voyage will be completed within &C
days, arriving about the middle OF
August.

JOB HARTMAN AND
GOMPERS NOT PARTIES
TO BRIBERY CHARGE

LOS ANGELES, June 5.--Distriet
Attorney Frederieks, in charge of the
prosecution against Clarence Darrow,
attorney for the Mcnamara brothers,
in their famous trial for dynamiting
the Times, announced last night that
there is intention to implicate either
job Hartman, one of the attorneys for
the defense, or Sam Gompers, head of
the federation of labor, in the accusa-
tions brought against Darrow. Mr..
f'redericks declares that the statement
made earlier in the day by Bert H..
Franklin, was intended only to indicate
that the money for bribing Lockwood,
one of the venirement in the McNa-
mara case was taken from the McNa.
mara defense fund, which Sam Gompers
was instrumental in raising.
Franklin, former deputy sheriff and
investigator for Clarence Darrow, tes-
titled in the Darrow bribery case that
Darrow told him Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, had sent money to Darrow
to be used for the purpose of bribing
Nenireman Lockwood.
WASHINGTON, June 4-Samue
Gompers today emphatically denied the
sworn statement of Franklin in Los
Angeles. He says he has documentary
proof to show it false.

Bitulithic Pavement Is Totally

(rrom Wednesday s Advertiser.)
''The rapid transit company of
fered to pave its King street right-of-
way through the paved blocks with an
ohia-block pavement, to be passed
upon by the superintendent of public
works. We have not the least desire
to escape from our charter obligations
as to maintaining our right-ofway in
a manner equal to the street main
tenance by the city. We are ready to
do our full duty to the public, but we
do not propose to lay bitulithic pave
ment unless compelled to do so by a
decision of the Supreme Court.
''Bitulithic pavement is wholly un-
suited to the conditions under which
we must operate. We could not con
veniently carry on track repairing and
we would be, at all times, under con-
troll of the owners of the bitulithic
patents.
''We regret that the city and terri
torial authorities absolutely refused to
allow us to lay ohia blocks or anything
else than bithulithic but as they have,
we will now carry the matter to the
Supreme Court for final settlement.
We have to have Supreme Court de-
cision now to protect ourselves. There
can be no compromise, because no COM
promise could protect us against any
injunction proceedings any citizens
could bring if we proceeded with the
question not definitely and finally de-
cided.
''What we will do now is to main,
tain our right-of-way with good oiled
macadam until it is determined what
we must or can do in other ma

KAP|OLANY ESTATE
FILES A PROTEST
lFrom Wednesdav's s Advertiser.

The United States War Department
only last week jumped the Kapiolani

Yesterday the Kapiolani Estate jumped
the city government for carting black

The supervisors last night, tloundered
around in hopeless tangle in which the
rapid ttansit company figured promi-
nently-and at the conclusion of the
board session, they found the rapid
transit could not consistently lay a
pavement in the area occupied by their
tracks, under protest as proposed Mon
day night. Manager Ballentyne stated
at last night s session that, after con-
sultation with the company S attorney,
d. l.. Wilmington, the company could
not lay the paving and appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Should the ease come up for consider
alton before the court under such con
iitions, that body would notify the APP
pellants they had no case before them,
and the whole matter would be removed
from the docket.
Mr.. Balentyne stated that neither
he nor his company was averse to paw.
ing, but they felt they had legal rights
and these had to be considered. The
question as to the class of pavement
entered largely into the matter, but
with legal questions popping up these
must be fully determined.
Deputy City Attorney Milverton, in
answer to question put by Supervisor
Low as to whether the proposed protest
did not protect the rapid transit, said
that irrespective OF any opinion he
(Milverton) could give, that was a mat
ter for company s attorney.
Mr.. Milverton added that possibly
the Judgment of the Hawaiian supreme
court, which is TO the effect that the
company must pave within its tracks
could be made to include the class OF
pavement best adapted. Mr.. Ballen
tyne intimated that the company had
been willing at the beginning to usC
wood block pavement, but was avers'
to the use of bitulithic ON the grouuC
that this style of pavement rendered
repair work difficult and impracticable

Writing in the Hospital, London, DR..
Walford warns everybody against tight
collars. He considers it remarkable
that no one seems to have noticed or,
at any rate, to have laid great stress
on the fact that such slight obstacles
to the free circulation of the blood
through the vessels Of the brain may
adversely influence the health of those
who are in the habit of wearing tight
ly fitting neckcloths. "The fact an
pears to be we'll known to veterinary
surgeons, who tell us that neck con-
striction through badly fitting harness
is a causative factor in 'staggers' in
horses" says the writer. 1t seems to
be equally we'll known that dogs suf
fer great deal through having to
wear tightly fitting collars. Is it too
much, then, DR.. Walford asks, to argue
that those of US who wear our own
collars too tightly buttoned may find
in that practice some explanation OF
symptoms ascribed to other causes:

The Druids.

The Druids were evidently of very
great antiquity. for there cannot be
much doubt that it was one of their
customs that Virgil had in mind when
he wrote in the "Aeneid." vi. 142. that
the "only means of access for a living
mortal to the world of spirits was the
carrying of golden twig which grew
in dark and thick grove" The re-
semblance of the story to the Druidical
rite is perfect. The Druids practiced
their rites in dark groves. If mis-
tletoe was discovered growing upon
an oak priest severed it with knife.
and festival was held under the tree
at which two milk white bulls were
offered as sacrifice. This was a sac
