Convict Tries Suicide.

With the avowed intention of COM
hitting suicides q negro convict
in the Frankfort penitentiary threw
himself down the elevator shaft
from the third floor of one of the
shops. He picked time, however,
when the elevator was going down
and was not far below the floor from
which he jumped. The negro escaped
injury, but Deputy Warden ]. Mack
Phythian had narrow escape from
injury, as the convict fell on top Of
Mr.. Phythian; who was standing on.
the elevator at the time. The con-
vict's body struck the bar over the
elevator, and bounced down onto Mr..
Phythian's shoulders. The deputy
warden did not know what was hap
pening, so jumped off the elevator,
landing on his feet, unhurt, on the
second floor.

On account Of the absence Of any
specific provision in the law creating

ing the employment of a secretary.
State Auditor Bosworth has asked At.
torney General Garnett for an opinion
on the question Of whether or not tho

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS BUDGET

Major General ]. Franklin Bell.
commanding general of the Philip.
pines division, received a cablegram
from the transport quartermaster of
the U. S. A. T. Logan announcing that
the big army troopship arrived at the
port of Chinwangtao, China, with the
first section of the American expedl-
ton which is to cooperate with other
nations to maintain order along the
right of way of the Imperial railroad
from the coast to Picking.
The Logan has made the voyage
to the northern coast of China in Just
six days. Besides the First Battalion,
18th Infantry, under the command of
Major James M. Arrasmith, the Logan
carried 100 tons of commissary sup
plies, $50 tons of coal, and ninety-five
animals for the pack trains, together
with a three months supply of forage.
Working steadily, with different shifts
of employees, the quartermaster de-
parCment onlcials unloaded the neon
ing cargo on the Logan and put the
great cargo bound for China aboard in
exactly two days, taxing the dock
and transport loading facilities to the
utmost. Coal and supplies were load
ed from GOLFERS and barges on the
opposite side.
The cablegram from Chinwangtao
does not state how soon the troops
and supplies can be disembarked, so
as to allow the Logan to return to
Manila by way of Nagasaki, Japan,
and prepare for the voyage to San
Francisco on February IA.

HIL0 Park Plan

HILO, February 16.--!The Board of
Trade on Tuesday adopted the report
Of a committee to which was referred
and re-referred the matter of FRO
posed site for a park at Lokoaka and
vicinity, the committee finding that
there is a good bathing place at Lo.
koaka and a short stretch Of protect
ed sand beach some distance fur her
out, toward Vault both Of which
places would seem to lie desirable for
park purpose
The report, signed by E. H. Holmes
and Henry w. Kinney, goes on to say:
The area beyond the last spot as lar
as Vault village, is so rocky as to be,
to ordinary practical purposes, impen-
etrable; it would in its present state
be of no value as park ground, and
could be made such at only a very
great expense. The committee there
fore, can see no reason for recon-
mending that any section of land, be-
yond the sand beach referred to, be
set aside for park purposes
The Keaukaha Rod and Gun Club
petitioned for setting aside certain
lands at Lokoaka, asking that the
Board of Trade recommend to the gov
ernor and to the land commissioner
the parking of a considerable area.
The Board of Trade will recommend
that the portion of land referred to by
the committee be used for park pur-
