WOMAN SAVED BY
ETHICS OF LAWYER

ATLANTA. Ca, August 8.-An
amazing aftermath of the Grace case
came today, when Solicitor General
Hugh M. Dorsey, who led the prose
cution Of Mrs. Daisy Grace, said that
while lying abed in his apartment a
few doors from the Grace home, he
heard the shot that wounded Grace
and that it was fired between and
. o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Grace
and the defense declared that Grace
was not shot until after II O'clock
On this plea the whole defense was
built.
Solicitor Dorsey said he would have
gone on the witness stand to give this
evidence, which would have Destroy
ed Mrs. Graces story, but was ad-
vised not to do so by eminent judges
fer ethical reasons.
Eugene Grace was brought here to-
Gay for an X-ray examination pre-
paratory to an operation for remov-
ing the bullet that paralyzed him.
Grace believes he will recover the use
of his legs if the bullet is removed.

BUDGET form
FOR ESTIMATES

WASHINGTON, August 12.-As an
object lesson to Congress to demon
trate his belief in the advantages of
the budget system for making esti-
mates and appropriations for the Fed
eral Government, President Taft, it
was learned today, will send next
years estimates to Congress, in bud
get form, to accompany the regular
book of estimates which the Secretary
of the Treasury is required by law to
submit. The entire Cabinet has. been
ms tructed to prepare estimates under
both plans. n
The proposed American budget,
while varying widely from the English
budget, because of the difference in
the structure of the two governments,
will he designed to present to Con-
gress and the people detailed under
standable program of business the en-
suing year, committing the President
to definitely expressed lines of public
policy. The estimates will be explain
ed in detail, classified and compared
with previous appropriations and ex-
penditures, and show the relation of
probable expenditures with probale
revenues for the ensuing year.
The preSent method of submitting
es Inmates to Congress, idential from
year to year without detailed informa-
ton showing a definite program, is re-
garded by President Taft, Secreta~y
of the Treasury MacVeagh and the
Economy Commission as unsystema-
tic, unscientific and Anticipated.
The first budget will be drawn by
the Economy Commission, which re-

PLANNING BIG
DEAL IN CUBA
Former Wisconsin Farmer Pre-
pairing to Promote Cuban
Plantation Locally

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, August ga sugar planta-
ton in Cuba consisting of 10000
. acres Of land and capitalized with
Hawaiian money is the daring scheme
proposed by James H. Barron, at the
! present time bookkeeper for the E.
Fl. Holmes department store here,
end before that farmer in Wisconsin
end orange rancher in Florida
The land is an old grant at the
present time belonging to the Cubans
and which can be secured for SIS per
acre. There are twenty-five thousand
acres of it classed as Al cane land,
ten thousand acres under valuable
timber and five thousand acres of
good pasture land. The railroad
runs within eight miles of the prop,
erty.
Barrons pan is to go to Cuba and
secure an option on the property at
IS an acre He will then return to
the islands and get busy with the pro.
motion end of the scheme. He plans
to charge the shareholders $40 per
acre, thus giving him enough capital
to work with during the first year
and to see him through until he has
the first returns coming in.
Going to Coast.
He has already tried to interest
several of the Hilo people in the
scheme and leaves for the Coast in
couple of weeks when he will look
Cp number of his friends there and
try to get them interested in the
scheme.
He will make the trip to Cuba,
where he has friends and will look
very carefully over the ground and
make his estimates of cost so that
when he comes back here again he
will be able to answer any questions
that may be put to him.
Barron is enthusiastic over the
matter and many of the people to
whom he has spoken also think ia
vorably of the scheme. One Of the
main assets in connection with the
property and from which Barron
hopes to make pile of money is the
fine growing timber.
He estimates that there are mil
lions of feet there and that this could
be sold for good price which would
add to his fund necessary to plant
the cane and to get all the other nee
essary operations under way.
Barron hopes to be able to raise
the necessary money right in, the ISL
ands when he comes back again and
will have the board of directors here
If he is successful in his promotion
work.
Barron was a successful farmer in
Wisconsin for many years and made
!. success of the business there. He
then went to Florida and took up
orange growing. He was just getting
along we'll with this when frost
came along and nipped his trees and
broke him. He came to the islands
and since he has been here has
squared all his debts. He is looked
on as a thoroughly capable man and
as one who should make big success
of any agricultural menture he goes
in for.

PEARL HARbOR
Continued from Page u

of Oahu is not to be jeopardized
This is evidenced in a sable received
by Admiral Cowles yesterday after
noon. stating that every item in the
naval appropriation bill relating tC
Pearl Harbor, was contained in the
bill as passed the other day.
This means that there is now
enough money actually appropriated
tc complete and enlarge the drydock
erect the buildings, barracks and
quarters, and equip the naval station
with the necessary shops and ma,
Chinery.
The limit cost of the drydock has
been Increased from $2,700,000 to 49,.
4S6,50O, an increase of $786,500, which
will be amply sufficient to extend
the dock from 800 to 1000 feet, and
to stand the cost of the increase in
contract price due to the richer &C.
100000 was previously appropriated,
and $1,050,O00 is carried in the pres
ent bill, leaving the comparatively
small sum of $1S6,000 still to be ap-
propriated.
Altogether, the money which comes
to Pearl Harbor through the present
naval appropriation bill amounts to
the vast sum of $1,S94,500. This is
practically every cent that was asked
for in the estimates, and Civil Engin-
eer Gayler, in charge of the construc-
ton work, is more. than pleased with
the result of Congress deliberations
in this particular instance.
Board Determines Premium. -. .e
A board of naval officers, recently
appointed by Admiral Cowles to de-
termine the just changes in the con-
tract price for the drydock, for the
200-foot extension and the richer mix
ture of the concrete contents, has con-
vened and is now formulating a re-
port. This board consisted of Civil
Engineer E. R. Gayler, president, and
Civil Engineers Kirby Smith and C.
A. Bostrom. In round figures it will
cost about 100000 more to lay the
richer concrete under water, the mix
ture being the result of hundreds of
tests covering period Of several
months, when it looked as though the
right combination to hold down the
bottom was not to be found
However, the final result has stood
every test, and while" it adds greatly
to the cost of the dock, it has become
an absolute necessity to it's success
full completion. The original specifi-
cations called for a mixture of one
part cement, three sand and six crush
ed rock. The new mixture is 1891,
and one-third of the sand has to be
brought from the Coast.
Rush Work.
From now on work on the drydock
will be rushed, as the contractors have
been going slow until they learned
definitely whether the appropriation
for the extension would go through.
Concrete pouring will be continued
steadily, and with the industrial build
ings nearly completed, the marine BAR
racks and quarters we'll under way,
and the general storekeepers and pub
lie works offices soon to be moved to
the harbor, the station will be actual
ly in use within a short time.
