New Westminster, B. c., Aug. 3O.-
One Of the most astounding criminal
charges ever read in any police court
on the American continent was made
against Alice Davis, alleged wife OF
Walter Davis, one Of the suspects in
the famous Bank of Montreal robbery
case, when the frail nervous woman
was directly charged this morning in
the local police court, with breaking
into and entering the Bank of Mon
treal on September Is. 1911, and steal
ing therefrom the sum Of S271 600"
AS the remarkable charge under
under which she is being held In jail
was made known to her, the woman
who has barely recovered from a
breakdown due to the nervous strain
that she has been under since her
sensational arrest in Toronto, Ont, a
month ago, and her subsequent trip
across the continent, gave no sign that
she had heard or semed to realize the
seriousness of its import.
The charge credits Mrs. Davis with
being one of the most successful bank
robbers in the business, yet to look at
the pale, nervous woman 1t seemed
remarkable that woman who cannot
weigh over 14O pounds could be ac-
cused of being implicated in a theft
that is without parallel in the history
of safe blowing cases.
On request of Counsel D. B. Kerr
appearing for the crown, remand OF
eight days, until September 7 was
granted without opposition.
There are now three of the suspects
in connection with the robbery in the
jail here, Charles Dean having appear
ed yesterday and the trial postponed
until September 5. News is expected
daily in regard to the case pending
against Mcnamara, the alleged sus-
pect who is fighting extradlton in Du-
luth, Mimi, as well as from Detroit
where Martin Powell and Daley NJ. p.
Lee are also fighting extraditlon.

or, for that matter anything like it,
for there is only one, were entranced
while the others, to whom 1t was not
new, found, as one does at each re-
turning visit, something new and still
more beautiful to wonder at and ad-
mire.
The visit was a revelation to Judge
Lovett, and he was delighted, pro-
nouncing 1t the most beautiful and
richest of valleys, He grasped the
magnitude of its resources, and seemed
to just absorb the fact that they were
scarcely known, and hardly touched
and its possibilities not even begun ia
be realized.
OF course, we know this, or rather
some Of 1t, for 1t is hard for the mind
to grasp the magnificent resources OF
the Willamette valley or to under
stand, that they are as yet hardly
touched. Thousands of acres are to
be brought under cultivation, and 9TH
er thousands to have their products
doubled, and then some.
What the visitors came for, is as
we have said, not known; but they
went away with an idea of the possi-
bilities of the country, an idea that
will bear fruit in the company's plans
for providing transportation facilities
for 1t, and doing its share to develop
the finest country on earth, 'the land
where dreams come true"

WAR ON INSECTS
IN PHILIPPINES

BAGUlO, p. l., March 12.-The cam
paign of determination to rid Baguio
of flies and mosquitoes has begun in
real earnest and results are already
beginning to be noticed. Gov ernor
General Forbes has appointed a spe-
cial committee of two members to
thoroughly investigate conditions and
localities which furnish breeding
places for the insects. The commit
tee is empowered to make recon-
mendations which will be carried out
by the city and bureau authorities in
Baguio The committee is composed
of member from the bureau of pub
tic works and one member from the
bureau of health. Chief Engineer
Clarence w. Hubbell was named to
represent the bureau of public works
in the investigation and DR.. Charles
s. Banks, chief of the section of en-
tomology in the bureau of science, to
represent the bureau of health.
City Engineer A. D. Williams is pre-
pairing to put a large corps of men at
work under the charge of properly
instructed sanitary inspectors to clean
up all possible breeding places in Ba-
guio for flies and mosquitoes. Septic
tanks are being adequately covered
and the fly larvae found in large num-
bers in any locality are being de-
stroyed by spraying with petroleum.

proper places, ruthessly enforced
when necessary, will ultimately do
away with its necessity No doubt the
various public and voluntary bodies
that last year undertook, directed and
encouraged the war upon this dis
seminator of typhoid fever will take
the field this season IN ample time.
The warnings issued by them early in
1911 and the methods suggested met
with a ratifying prompt reply. The
whole country was made fully aware
Of the danger that turks in the sticky

Whore COPY Was Followed.


From where the foregoing extracts
end the Tribune copy was followed
by the Advertiser as below reprint
ed, and the reader will see that here
there is not a scintilla of basis, any
more than in the first part of the
article, as sent to the, Advertiser, for
the insinuation that Mr.. Wakefield
took a whack" at Mr.. Campbell on
his visit to Hilo. The eDtire Tribune
article corroborates in every respect
the letter of Mr.. Wakefield to the
Star in which he accused the Adver-
tiser of misrepresentation in the mat
ter. This is the conclusion Of the
Tribune article as it was printed in
both the Advertiser and the Tribune
it being remembered that it is the
Tribune and not Mr.. Wakefield that
is speaking: v:
Wakefield was intensely interested
in the feature of the Metzger report
which had to do with the character
CT the bottom which would have to
be excavated if the Campbell develop
ment scheme, including the procession
of proposed wharves leading along
the so-caIled 'esplanade,' were carried
out to it's conclusion.
THE interesting feature of this par
ticular phase of the question lies in
the fact that the statements made by
Campbell in regard to the character
of the bottom to be execavated ap-
pear to be absolutely at variance with
the data secured by the federal auth,
critics, who have been examining the
bay bottom in connection with their
breakwater research. ocTa7S
ut appears that the federal peo
MES report shows that the material
to be excavated In order to get SUN
cient depth at the wharves along the
Campbell 'esplanade' consists to a
large part of lava rock, which could
be removed only at a price which IL
virtually prohibitive. In this connec
ton the territorial government has
made exceedingly much of the fact
that it had an engineer, Mr.. Kicks
investigating the character Of the bay
bottom for many weeks on end II
is true that the engineer did navigate
about the bay, and his flagship, one
of the Matson scows on which 'hac
been constructed decks and Platforms
which made it resemble the galleon'
OF old, lowered like lost soul alon'

STOCKS SAG WITH
FALLING SUGAR

The stock market Is again weak,
and prices have slumped materially
since yesterday. The cause is prob
ably to be found in the falling sugar
market of the past few days.
1t is not unreasonable to believe
that this weakness in raws will con.
tinue for some weeks. Late cables
indicate that the Cuban crop is turn.
ing out much better than was at first
thought possible, and that the output
will be close to the normal, or about
100000 tons. Unusually heavy beet
sowings in Europe, and the fact that
the consumption of sugar has prob.
ably fallen below the normal, &C.
counts for the Indifference of the re.
fners, WHO have considerable stocks
in reserve. With the opening of the
fruit canning season in a month or
two prices are practically sure of ad-
yancing- probably higher than last
summer. This is the off season for
sugar, and yet prices are higher than
the average for the past several
years.
The demand on the exchange this
morning was light, and most of the
stocks traded in last over former
quotations. Eva dropped to 3z7s from
SO, Olaa opened at rs from 7% yes
terday, was bid down to rs, but re-
covered to 71a before the close. This
was asking price at close, but bid
ders were Offering but rs.
Oahu has fallen from 1915 to 20 fiat,
while bids were 2SB at close. Pho
neer lost rs cents share, selling
at 351a at close. Waialua dropped two
points over night and was plentiful
at 100.
All sales were light.

NEW SUGAR PLANTATION
TO START ON MAUI

As previously chronicled in The
Weekly Times, a new sugar company
under the name of Kaupakalua Sugar
Company is to be formed on Maui.
The first meeting will be held Sun
day, May 5, at the Kaupakalua school
house. t.
AS the name implies, the projected
sugar plantation will be located in
the Kaupakalua regions, Makawao.
There is a splendid tract of land
there, eminently adapted for the cul-
tivation of cane, with virgin soil o:
great richness. When the extension
of the Kahului railroad is completed it
will open up all that part Of the island
and greatly increase the value Of land,
besides reducing transportation eX'
penses, as a matter of course. There
l. no reason in the world why this
new enterprise should not meet with
the greatest success. All that sis
needed is capital, and it will be forth
coming, no doubt-Wailuku Times.

And, 80 the story goes along the bay
front, the reason lies in the fact that

the wave action so interfered with

But while there were therefore
probably no specific data obtained by

(Mail Special to The Adyertiser)
HILO, April 5,-James Wakefield,
he of the bank account, has something
new to spring on MaTston Campbell,
superintendent of public works and
chairman of he board of harbor COM
missioners, of which Mr. Wakefield is
humble member. Wakefield got the
materials for his newest bomb during
his visit here this week and he will
probably toss his finished article into
the midst of the next board meeting.
The sensation which Wakefield in
tends to spring consists Of an allega-
ton that Campbell is wrong las
usuaD regarding the feasibility of
dredging in Hilo harbor for the pro-
posed wharf extensions he wants as
. corollary to the adopted location of
the one Hilo wharf authorized. D. E.
Metzger has plan for the develop
ment Of the Hilo harbor which differs
from that backed by superintendent
Campbell, hence Wakefield is much in
terested in it and took look over it
while here.
1t looked good to him, at least good
enough to take up as an excuse for an
other whack at Campbell. While the
Campbell plan has been adopted, he
says, there is no reason why the ques-
ton of the Hilo wharf can not be TAX
en- up again and changed so far as the
location goes. The plans for the
wharf structure are now being drawn
at the office of the public works de-
partment, but the advertisements for
bids had not been issued as yet, and
until the contract for the construction
of the wharf had actually been let, it
wats not too late, says Mr.. Wakefield,
to change the location of the structure
in case it should be found more eco
nomical or otherwise advantageous to
do SO.

HOW THE ADVERTISER FAXED
A CHARGE AGAINST WAKEFIELD

It is well-known in local newspaper
circles that II. w. Kinney, editor of
the Hilo Tribune, is the Hilo cores
pondent OF the Advertiser. His cor
respondence to that paper, outside of
wireless dispatches, consists, as rule,
of advance proofsheets of the Tri-
bune's news columns. That these are
usually copied as they come is APP
parent to readers of both papers. A
striking instance is the reproduction
IN the Advertiser this week.of news
item, found IN the Tribune of last
Tuesday, stating that the Henderson
homestead case will be argued in the
Supreme Court on March II!
In last Sunday Advertiser there ap-
peared special mail letter to the
Advertiser from Hilo, containing an
attack on Mr.. Wakefield, member of
the harbor commission. Mr.. Wake
field promptly, in letter to the Star
