They might have noticed, Dr. Lyon
said in opening, the dead patches in
the Tantalus forest These trees
are dead from the recent drought
they might have said on first sight.
But there was no drought in Manoa
where irrigated trees on the Long es-
tate were also dying. Besides the
eucalyptus, the black waffle and &c,
dar trees on Tantalus we're dying. As
to the black waffle, old age might &C
count for It. Cockroaches attacking
the bark and twigs of some of the
trees had killed them. A great many
Young trees at the experiment sta
ton had died from this cause
The eucalyptus trees on TantaluS
were not dying from either of these
causes, but from a fungus and more
Of the eucalyptus globulus. than the
eucalyptus robusta were being at
tackled. As the robusta, or swamp
gum, faVors moist land this fact indi-
Gates that another cause than drought
is the cause. The disease usually be-
gins at the extremitieS-sometime
isolated brances, and sometimes one
side of a tree will be infected and
not the other. DR.. Lyon showed a
withered branch from a Manoa tree.
If the disease starts at the top it
will work it's way down until it enters
the trunk.
"FoiIy To Go On Planting"
DIR. Lyon could not say it would be
folly to go on planting eucalyptus
trees. If they were going to plant
them in large groves, they would have
20 pay more attention to them. There
were other trees that would. serve
their purposes better for forest cover.
At all events they should not be plant
ed in pure culture-that is, exclusive
" on large, scale.
In answer to e. Faxon Bishop, the
speaker said the disease was not the
same as the dying back disease, of
rubber and cacao trees, a disease that
was causing great deal of damage in
the West Indies. =.. .....
what is the remedy?" asked w. o.
Smith.
DIR. Lyon said the only remedy was
TO clean out the dead trees as fast as
possible. II they wished to save a
few trees they might do it by pruning
back the branches and painting over
the wound. In large forest Such
was impracticable-
In reply to a question by Mr.. Smith
if the disease spread from centers of
Infection, Dr. Lyon said the infection
was rather scattered. One tree may
be attacked at the top. another at the
bottom. 1t the vital parts were first
affected the tree would die quickly.
: Mr.. Bishop asked if the disease had
on the other islands also, if 1t
was. anything like the chestnut tree
disease, to which the lecturer. replied ]

Cathcart Enters Denial in
Court to Public Be Damned
Story This Morning

With more than score of promifi
ent men and women of Honolulu at,
tending the proceedings, Edward Nc
CorTiston, well-known young man
of this city, pleaded guilty in Judge
Robinson's court this morning to d
charge of fornication and was given
the limit sentence, fine of fifty dol.
lars and COSTS
The other charge against McCorris.
ton, that of trespas, was dropped, the
prosecuting attorney, John W. Cath
cart, declaring that under the circum-
stances surrounding the case no jury
in the world would find the prisoner
guilty of trespass Evidence in the
case previously taken had broGght
out statements that the Hawaiian
girl with whom McCorriston was
guilty of misconduct had commnni-
Gated with him prior to his coming
to the home where she was staying
while out on probation from the re-
form school.
The case this. morning was marked
not only by the attendance of prom
inent people and the deep interest
taken in the case, but by sharp ex-
changes of personalities between At
torney Cathcart and Attorney Wade
Warren Thayer. An article in the
morning paper, stating that Cathcart
yesterday had declared, The public
be damned" in discussing the agree
ment for McCorriston to plead guilty,
was asserted by Cathcart to have
been inspired by Thayer. The article
in question said that Thayer had
asked Cathcart why he, the prescott
ing officer, agreed that McCorriston
should he allowed to plead guilty to
the lesser charge. In his address to
the court this morning, Cathcart de-
MED three times and with an empha-
81 and force that showed his anger,
that he had used the words The pub
lie be damned" attributed to him. and
he took occasion to fire a few hot
shots at Thaycr
While he was stating that the ar
ticle was untrue and that fts inSpira
ton seemed to have been malicious,
he said: Il do not see this attorney
here today" ana Thayer, who was
in the room, rose in court and inter
rupted with Turn around, Mr.. Cath
cart, and. you'll see him"
Cathcart then went on to say that
Thayer had stopped him yesterday
and asked as TO the disposition of the
case, which he considered was rather
improper conduct for an attorney in
view OF the fact that. he, Cathcart,
was the public prosecutor in the
case. He stated that he did not use
the words imputed to him. What he
did say was that he prOseCutcs cases
on their merits.
Among those present this morning
were many who have taken a prom
inent part in the present movement
to check the prevalence of crime
against women and girls. Bishop
Restarick, chairman OF the big mass
meeting last Sunday night, was there
an interested listener, as were the
Rev. A. A EbersOIe. tine Rev. r. f.

HARBOR WORK
ICON .inued from Page y

basis of requests for appropriations
from the coming legislature, is given
below in full:
Your committee appointed to re
lport on the programme of work for
the development of wharf facilities
in Honolulu, Kahului and Hilo har.
bors beg to recommend that the firsi
work i'm Honolulu harbor to press TO
completion is the Fort Street Bulk
Head Wharf; this project involves
after the dredging contract is com
pleted. the construction of a wharf in
the slip adjoining the Alakea Street
Wharf, the construction of whSrf at
the foot of Fort Street, the extension
seventy-five feet makaf of the
Oceanic Wharf. and the extension
mauka of the Oceanic Wharf to
Queen street -. ... T..
We recommend that this con-
struction be of concrete, and of the
most permanent character possible:
freight sheds for the accommodation
of incoming and outgoing cargoes
must be provided, and we would urge
that comprehensive shed plan be
arranged for the whole land area in
volved in this scheme of the Fort
Street Bulk Head Wharf
To complete this work it will be
necessary to secure property from
the Federal Government, and the
Robinson and s. C.. Allen Estates, and
we would urge that the necessary
legal, steps be taken to secure the
of these two liant men,
toned properties.
We further recommend that on the
acquisition of the Fee of the Marine
Railroad property, slip be dredged
through the center, constructing solid
open wharVes on each side of the
slip, which will afford accommodation
tor the discharge of lumber and coal
cargoes. .~-.-.,.
We also urge the necessity of re-
constructing the 'Kinau wharf and
wharf shed, the extensiorsof the Brew
e, wharf shed to the sea-wall. the
dredging OF the slip Waikiki of the
Brewer wharf q the sea-wall line, and
the dradging Of the Inter-Island slips
to the sea-wall. a-
We would also urg urge the need of
securing large appropriation from
tie Legislature for the rtpair and
maintenance of wharves In Honolulu
Harbor. With the increasing volume
of traffic over the wharves in this Har-
Dor it is an absolute necessity to main
tsin these structures in the best DOS
sible condition to preserve their work
Ing efficiency. .r'- 81.
We would recommend that a special
appropriation be requested from the
Legislature to construct the necessary
freight sheds on the Hilo wharf, so
that this important work can be press
ed to completion with us little delay
as possible. -... .s-' -.... q.
Kahluf Harbor is badly in need of
wharf for the accommodation of large
steamships and we would urge that
plans be prepared for a bulk-head
wharf to be built parallel with the
breakwater sufficiently long to berth
two ocean going steamers and with
sufficient shed accommodation for
their incoming and outgoing cargoes
Respectfully submitted.

eminent officials here is to the effecs
that there has been and still is a
great deal of opposition to the re-
appointment of Governor Frear in
Washington. This opposition, It is
reported, is headed by such men, as
Senator Dixon and Senator Warren,
backed up by number of Democrats.
The fight on the Governor is not a
personal one at all, say these men,
but is based largely on the, political
aspects of the case. The. Democrats
hold that it would be mistake to
confirm the appointment Of an official
for a term of four years, most of
which would have to be served under
a Democratic administration, and
they contend that it is only fair to
the incoming President to let him
make his own appointments. ....
This, added to what is reported to
be strenuous objections to the re-
of Mr.. Frear from Ger.
tain quarters in this Territory, it is
believed will exercise a deterrent eff
feet upon the senate in considering
the nomination, and may result in
the holding up. of the Governors
committee during the entire
short session, say the political wise
ones here. There. are others, how
ever, who feel certain the appoint
ment will be confirmed.

those argoDautS have since become ex-
pert miners and cyanide metalurgists
and realize that the gold ores of the
Black Mountain camp, below the oxi-
the old panama. gamation process, al
though their values equaled and often
exceeded those now successfully treat
ed under modern concentrating and
cyaniding practice in Cripple Creek and
the Mogolons- They realize that the
inexperienced pioneers of those days
had little capital and were unable to
buy pumps to lift the water, often en-
countered at less than 100 feet, and
that the only hope of the oldtimers was
to strike ore rich enough to haul to the
Ell PasO smelter, so miles away, by
wagon haul These men, with added
wisdom, believe there is a great re-
vival coming to the camp when ade-
quate. capital and modern mining and
milling methods shall invade it again.

One thing of great Importance TO FL
Paso resulted on account Of the Black
Mountain gold boom. It inspired Jim
Bell, DR.. Albers and DR.. Davis to make
the preliminary survey of a railroad
line from FL PaSO northWard along
Organ and the San Andres mountains,
called the white Oaks railway" line
resulting in the subsequent building
of the FL PaSo Northeastern to con-
meet with the Rock Island railroad,
under the management of c. B. Eddy
The latter, through personal interests
in the Jarilia mountain mines, diverted
the line TO the base of the Sacramentos
thereby losing millions of tonnage of
low grade gold. silver, copper, zinc
and lead ores along the line of sthe or
iginal Srvey found in veins for a dis
lance of 100 miles north and south
Some day someone will build mineral
railroad on that old survey line.
