feature of the enterprise was the real
reason for its failure
Attorney Olson asked Dole a few
hiawa. Dole said there are about ten
canneries now in operation in the, Is
lands. -.-- - =
Louis Ginaca, homesteader at Wa
iiawa, was then called in for a few
minutes discussion Of conditions in
labor and methods of work He said
he thought one man should have 80
or 100 acres of pineapple land to get
the most out of the land and at the
same time reduce the overhead" as
much as consistent with high produc-
ton. He said he believed forty or
fifty acres far too small an acreage
for the white homesteader.
On question by Attorney Olson,
Ginaca said the investment of him
self and brothers for $50 acres was
about $4,000 This, he said. is the
money they have actually put into it.
He thought comparative amount
would have to be invested for 100
acres. The first year he alone invest
ed about $500. He thought the
homesteader would require at lease
$500 for his first years expense in
developing his land. He then gave
figures showing about how the $4,000
had been divided in developing his and
his brothers land.
Mr.. Ginaca was the last witness of
the morning, and shortly after 1890
O'Clock the hearing adjourned until
$3.50 tomorrow morning.

Paxton: Well that is very difnculi
to say.
@, Approximately?
Al. That is the thing you want tc
find out assume that Is the total
receipts out to be in the neighborhood
OF. $50 or $3.50 per acre.
@. It that total receipts or net pro.
fits?
A. That is total receipts.
@. There would be certain expefte,.
lures about what would such ex-
penditnres amount to?
5 A. could not answer that on
hand Some figures might be prepar.
ed. It would be ssfy difficult to an
answer that off-hand.
@. What impressed me Is the ques.
ton whether the homesteader or any
nationality could be expected to make
living on of s or acres D. .a7se-
A. ! think is depends great deal
on the price Of sugar.
@. What would you say that how
many hundred dollars year would
that be
A. know of ingtances where there
are two or three small homesteads, OF
homesteaders making some four or
five hundred dollars from an average
of eight or ten acres.
Q. Over and above his living ex-
penses?
Al. That is. what he gets over and
above the cost of producing.
@. Well, would it be possible to
draft a contract which was based on
the price of sugar that would afford
you protection and by which you can
name a longer contract?
A. Such contracts are in existence.
Q. DO you see any objection to
such contract?
A. see no particular objection,
except that 1t renders the production
of cane risky in view of fluctuations
in the price of sugar.
Fisher. Yes, / can see that the
sugar factors would take some risk,
but on the other hand, can you expect
q farmer 10 stick his investment in q
homestead of this kind and be at the
mercy Of the planting interest at the
end of four years?
PaxJOR. IL depends on who the
planting interests are. 1t seems to
me that where efforts have been
made to bring about homesteading
such as am telling you of, that
homestealers ought to have enough
confidence in the planters.
@. Arrangements change, owners
die, conditions change-and yet the
homesteader, if he once has put. his
little capital in there, he cannot
change
A. I have no doubt that longer
contracts would be available il wei
got started .
@. Wouldn't you think, as under
stand you, Mr.. Paxton, your people
are rather in favor of homesteading?
A. We certainly are.
@. Because you thing it is good
business.
A. Yes.

ice we are considering, the question

Ing Mr.. Fisher that IL takes time to

AGRICULTURE IN ST. LUCIA, 1910.

The information given below, concerning
Tho agricultural industries III St. Lucia dur
ing 1910, is selected from details presented
in Cotouja5 Reports Annual, No. 7l3, is
sued recently
The principal products of the Colony are
sugar and cacao, but as there are no reliable
statistics available of the area of each under
cultivation, the value of the industries can
be estimated only by the quantities exported.
In 1910, the quantity of cacao exported
was 8,187 bags of 200 10, value G40,935 rs
compared with 10,S5O bags, value f54,275
in 1909. The amount OF usine sugar shipped
in 1910 was 5,199 tous, value G64,98S i'll
1903, $500 tons, value G59,623 Other
sugar. and muecovado and its products,
reached a value of t2,G74 IN 1910, and
eg, 6 in the preceding year.
The quantity OF caeao produced from year
10 wear does not exhibit the rapidity Of in
crease thai might be reasonably expected
from the area Of land to be seen employed i'll
lis cultivation, and it is more than probable
TINT this is owing to the lack of attention
bestowed by the small growers on their cacao
nlats and to their Ignorance, despite the
Efforts made by the officers Of the AGricultur-
al Department to teach them, of proper cul-
turul methods. The following summary of

RUSH ORDERS IN GHOSTS.

Under the direction of the Rev. DR.,
Richard r.. Schluesner, pastor Of the New
York Temple Of Modern Spiritualism, Inc,
in East 9th. street, an american debut
was presented at the temple last night.
After a somewhat conse, vdtive introduce
ton by Dr.. SchIuesner, in which he des-
cribed the IN tin performers of the evening
MS about the greatest people j. the business,
Mr.. and Mrs Clarence Tomson, of London,
took the platform and modestly admitted
that they were all that the doctor had said
about them.
Mr.. Tomson said he and his wife hid sub
milted to the s~eyerest tests the human mind
could devise and had come out of them all
with honors. He polished up this part of his
discourse by telling how easily he had CON
vinced such celebrities as Sir William
Crookes, Sir Oliver Lodge and the late Will
liam T. Stead that he was a dandy psychic
metrist.
But the real purpose Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tomson's seance last night was full form
materialization,' or a particular form of it,
called bv them TRANSPORTATION personation".
"You must not consider it a trick, said
Mr., TomsOn, 'if the manifestation takes
place upon the body of the medium herself.
The manifestation is only a husk, and it
doesn't make any difference if the medium
is inside of it,"
The true believers did not care where the
medium was, inside or outside, as long as
they saw some ghosts, Mrs. Tomson was
to do this part. First n committee of six
women was chosen to retire with her and see
that she did not have anything more about
her than her skin. They then put on a coat
and dress and pair of slippers, and that was
all. They led her back and she took her
seat in the middle of the black cloth cabinet
in the centre Of the stage. The curtains
were allowed to fall before her and the lights
were turned out. 1t was on.
GOOD Bless you all, and how de do" said
a gruff voice that could not have been Mrs.
Tomson's voice, no,never. Somebody began
to play a tune on the organ. The curtains
drew back and a white figure appeared with
, 1912-08-28

in, a flmy, white figure, like a bride who
never had enough to eat. 1t did not looL
like any body in particular, and nobody said
it did. Neither did anybody doubt that
Mrs Tomson was inside the white figure
Her husband himself had said that was az,
cording to the rules of the game as thew
played it, SO there.
The curtains fell, and Mrs Tomson STAG.
gered out of the cabinet looking frantic and
frightened and breathing hard. 1t was all
over.
"Poor thing!' said a woman.
"Well, what of it," said the men, trying to
get the point.
4sWhat of it? Well, that's full form mater
ialization; that's what of it."-New. YORK
Tribune, July 18Th.
, 1912-08-28

ehsy were ordered on deck the boats had
gone. zone ought to bear in mind the be-
haviour of these men. I do not think one is
saying q word too much to say that their be-
haviour Was heroic.
And not a single engineer was saved. That
Is by no means uncommon, There they are
right down ia the vessel during the time Of
peril, and they did not come up in this case
until after all hope of safety had disappeared.
There were eight ships boys on board. We
have heard nothing about them. They might,
if they had desired, have been treated as
Juveniles. But they went down with the
ship, part Of the crew of the ship. Every
body on board seems to have behaved III this
moment of the gravest peril with u calmness
and devotion to duty which, [ hope, will al
WAYS be remembered to the credit of those
who sail on board British vessels. The pas
sengers behaved extremely we'll, and the men
on board made no attempt to leave the yes
sci.
End OF Inquiry.
The inquiry was concluded on Wednesday,,
Lord Morsey remarking that he hoped to
bring ont bis report in a reasonable time.
The Attorney Generals closing speech dealt
mainly with Captain Lord, Of the Californian,
die aiip alleged to have seen the sinking lin
er's distress signals, and to have remained in
Give. The Attornev-General said: 81 am
most anxious to help The inquiry to find some
possible excuse for the injection on the part
.! tie Californian. 1t is q matter Of extreme
regret that [ come to the conclusion that
there is no excuse, Whether | am right or
wrong is for your lordship'3 consideration"
Lord Mersoy: / think we are Of opinion
that the distress rockets seen by the Callfor-
niau were the distress rockets Of the Titanic.
The Acknowledgement added that one must
come to lie conclusion that Captain lords
evidence was unsatisfactory. 1t was estab-
lisned quite clearly thai he thought that the
signai reported to him might have been a
distress signal. Ho had asked for a report
to be brought to him. He remained in the
chart-room and did nothing.
The Rule OF Honour.
If they had established that the "blaze Of
hight to which reference had been made IN
the evidence came from the Titanic, that
the captain OF the Californian knew of it
and did not proceed to the rescue OF the
vessel or even call up the wireless operator
10 let him get into communication with the
vessel, they had established a state Of things
which was quite lneXplicable. 1t was the
more extraordinary because of the rule
which anyone who went to sea could never
fail to consider, that if you see q vessel ia
distress you must do your utmost to help.
That was u rule of honour. That the CaIifor-
man might have got to the rescue of the Ii
tauic IN time to save the passengers is, [ am
afraid, The irresistible conclusion of the evil
dence.
[ can only say that as a result of this in
quiry it is to be hoped that no vessel will
ever take such utterly unnecessary risks rs
I sup nil were taken by the Titanic. Speak
mo uonprailV the two cnuSeS of the disaster
wore the failure to keep a good lookout and
the proceeding ut too great a rate of speed.
