FALLING OF
OWN WEIGHT
Ritual Murder Trial of Jew in
Russia is Not Progressing
as the Car Would
Prefer It.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
KIEFF. Russia, Oct 13-Nakonet
chi who is neighbor OF the Jew
Mandel Bells. today continued his
testimony In the ritual murder" trial
but he was q disappointing witness for
the prosecution. His evidence did not
damage Beilus al all He saw An
drew Yushinski and the Chereryak
boy playing at the brick yard on the
day Of the murder but he saw nothing
to incriminate Bells. He said that
Yushinsky could not have been chased
or molested by Bells or any one else
at the brick yard without the whole
district seeing it and knowing about
It.
Like Shakousky. the witness of yes
terday, Nakonetchi could remember
nothing he told at the preliminary
hearing. His preliminary depositions
made up large part of the indict
ment against Bells which required
three hours 10 read but on the stand
he could tell nothing to damage the
Jew. He said he had known Bells
ten years and knew nothing to his det
riment.
Both Shakousky and Nakonetchi
were credited by the prosecution with
saying that Bells hired an assassin tc
poison them but both repudiated the
story. The belief Is growing here that
the ritual murder" prosecution will
fall Of its own weight The trial is ex.
pected to collapse before the prosecu
ton has introduced all its witnesses
Police are taking extraordinary pre-
cautions to prevent demonstration
Of sny kind.
The defense gained material ad-
vantage when Dobjansky, saloon
keeper, not a Jew, testified positively
that he heard Andrew Yushinskis
aunt, now dead, say that the christian
boys own people killed him. Dobian-
sky was unable to say what motive
the aunt said the relatives had to
put him out Of the way. Vigorous
cross examination OF the prosecution
failed to shake his assertion that she
had made such q statement. Taking
OF testimony halted this afternoon
while the jury was taken to the brick
yard to view the spot where the body
Of Andrew was found In March. three
years ago.

ASIATICS Will

Especial Star-Bullstln Correspondence
WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
In ten years or fifteen years the Ha-
wRiien Asiatie citizenship will domIn-
ate the islands unless the interests
that are promoting this Asiatic citi-
zenShip under the influence OF the
plantation owners are checked" said
w. a. Kinney, a lawyer Of Honolulu,
who is in Washington to confer with
the territorial delegate from Hawaii.
The delegate for some time has been
lighting the nomination of Gov. w. F..
Frcar. who was reappointed by PresE
dent Taft, and who, Mr.. Kinney AYERS,
is one Of the leading spirits favoring
Asiatic citizenship. The delegate made
his fight for reelection on the issue
that Asiatic citizenship must be
checked.

largely in the majority in Hawaii"
continued Mr.. Kinney. In popula-
ton Of 100000, fully so per cent are

at. this time in our fight against Asia,
tic prepondeTanoe. The Asiaties are
increasing at greater rate than the
people OF any other race fn Hawaii,
the Japanese, of course, being in the
majority, and while there are nes
Japanese, coming into the islands,
their number is growing through

The Hawaiians fear that If CON

will ultimately be compelled to take

Hawaii would then be. worse Off than

NO REDUCTION in
PRICE OF FORD
MOTORCARS

The Schuman Carriage Company
local agents of the Ford Motor Com
pany, has received a letter denying
absolutely the stories that have been
going the rounds that the Ford com.
rany is 10 make big reduction in
the price of their cars. They also
brand as false the story that they
contemplate selling out to Rockerfel-
Ter. The letter. states that these ru-
Elors emenated on the Pacific Coast,
and that. each and every one of them
we're manufactured out of whole
cloth-a The Ford company will go on
making and eimproving their wonder
full cars in the future as in the past,
producing the greatest car for the
money ever turned out from any
factory. t
Production Record ts So
Another production record in the
automobile industry was shattered
last month, when, the Ford Motor
Company built and shipped from. its
factory more than 1900 cars. This
is by far and away the largest num-
Der of automobiles ever constructed
in one month by any company: 1t is
more cars than the company built
during the entire, first year of its ex-
istence.
Since the beginning of its manufac-
turing year in October, when it was
the company intended
building 100000 cars this season, this
coming close Of the
heels of that stating the company had
built more than $4,000 cars last year,
proved almost too startling for those
not familiar with this gigantic BUSH
ness to grasp.
When the announcement was first
made very few papers in the country
quoted it Alright, most of them beliey-
ing that pardonable exaggeTation
had been made, or else that the per-
son who wrote the figures had let
hts fingers slip and had not corrected
the resultant error.
But when, after the close of Decem-
Der. it was announced by the COM
pany that more cars had been built
and shipped from the factory that
single month than had been built and
shipped during october, November
and December, last year, the hitherto
Incrednious began TO sit up and take
notice.
December, however, was only a be-
ginning. Manufacture began at the
Ford factory with rush with this
new year. FROM the first day of the
month until January -, there was a
rapid mounting of production figures
On this latter date all previous re-
cords were discounted. The company
built and shipped out in this single
lay 1886 cars. This figure was not
surpassed during the balance of the
month.
But those closely in touch with the
situation do not think that January,
1913, will go down in history as the
banner manufacturing month of 1913
or the Ford Motor Company

WOMAN
At THE WHEEL

Mrs. Emil Erickson, wife OF the
skipper OF the schooner Defender, that
sailed from Hama, Maui, for San Fran
cisco on February Is, proved a heroine
by the timely taking the wheel and
thereby saving the life other husband
as well as members of me crew.
In a hurricane that beset the
schooner Defender for six days on her
way from the Hawaiian Islands to this
bort, and came near sending the yes
sci and all hands to the bottom, Mrs.
Emile Erickson, wife of the skipper,
took the wheel when her husband was
washed away from it by mountain
high wave which nearly carried. him
over the side.
Mrs. Erickson is not unaccustomed
to storms at sea, for she spent her
honeymoon, in December, 1909, on
board the Defender In the terrific
storm which sent the schooner Susie
NJ Plummer and all hands to wreck
and death off the Washington coast
Every year since he2 first thrilling
voyage she has made a practice of
spending her vacation in making a
trip to the islands with her husband
on board the Hind. Rolph & Co. sugar

'We are well, but wet" was the
answer given by Mrs. Erickson when
asked about the storm which tore all
the sails to pieces, stove in the fore
castle head and stood the vessel on
beam ends 20 times the first day, Feb
Iuary g. H. -.
4 was not frightened" she con,
:inued, because l reckoned that if We
we're to go down we would all go to-
sether A woman's place is by her
husband in time of storm or trouble
There were many times the first
five days of the hurricane when l
thought the vessel would founder, but
there is no place for a man or woman
aboard ship who shows the white
feather in time of danger" r
