WORKER
SLICES HEAD OF
LUNA With knife

WAILUKU. Maui, February FL
Manuel Santos, a Pioneer Min luna, is
lying in the hospital with his head
cut open, and a Filipino named Juan
Perimito is confined in Jail awaiting
trial at the circuit court The cut
ting TOOK place at Lahaina.
Santos took a gang of men TO the
cutting field, among the workers he
ing the Filipino, who now is under
arrest. From the story told by the
luna, it seems that the Filipino was a
lazy worker, and would not try to
keep up with the rest of the gang.
The luna tried jollying the man along,
and even went as far as to cut cane,
side by side with him, in the hopes
of increasing the laborer's stroke.
After a while, it is: alleged, the Fill
Pine struck the luna's arm and knock
ed the cane knife to the ground. The
knife was then pounced upon by the
Filipino and turned against the owner.
One slash was made, and the blade
struck Santos just over the left ear.
The wound inflicted was a deep one
and, if the knife had not been held at
an angle, the luna's head would have
been cut off. AS it was, the knife sew
eyed part of Santos ear and cut deep
into his skull Santos fell to the
ground with blood pouring from his
head. The Filipino threw away the
knife and ran from the field.
Santos was taken to the hospital,
y - - \
a narrow escape from being murdered,
as the knife had almost cut through
TO his brain.
The would-be murderer was ar
rested in Lahaina on Tuesday evening
He was brought before the police
court on Wednesday and was COM
mitted to the circuit court for
trial.

THETIS FOR
BIRD HUNTERS

The mission of a party of four
mainland scientists and rabbit hunt
ers at Laysan island. will terminate
with the arrival of the United States
revenue cutter Thetis, which is being
prepared to sail for the lonely little
sand spit in the mid-Pacific on or
about March 4th.
The Thetis is now receiving provi.
sfoT1s and supplies sufficient to carry
her on cruise to the islets and reefs
Incorporated in the United States
bird reservation.
Four hundred tons coal will be
placed aboard the reVenue cutter
early next week, and the Thetis will
then be away for Aaysan, where the
quartette of men representing several
mainland educational institutions anG
museums, who have been holding
forth at King" Max Schiemmers Ior-
mer domain, will be brought back 20
civilization.
The party left Honolulu during the
early part of December They went
TO the island, we'll. equipped for a
three to four months stay amid the
birds and rabbits that infest the sand
island
Not content with studying the hab-
rs and life of the varieties of birds
that find home on Laysan, the parry
inciuded George Willetts, who, hailing
from Los Angeles where he served
the municipality in the role of police
officer, proposed to wage an unre-
lenting warfare on the thousands or
rabbits there The little animals are
said to have made serious inroads up
on the meager vegetation on Laysan,
thereby depriving the birds of a shell
ter during the breeding season.
II all goes well, the Laysan party
should return to Honolulu on or about
the latter part of March.

Charles r. Crane of Chicago for
ambassador to Russia.
Frederick C. PenHeld OF Pennsyl-

These selections have been deter.

though the nominations probably will
not be sent to the senate until later.
Mr.. Guthrie, formerly mayor Of
Pittsburgh, and now democratic state
chairman in Pennsylvania. originally
was slated for the ambassadorship to
Mexico. but ii is now probable that
no new representative will be sent to
Mexico City for some time, though II
is practically certain that Henry Lane
Wilson will not be retained. To send
new ambassador to Mexico at pres

government, a situation which the

TARIFF BILL IS NOW UNDER FIRE
Attempt TO Place Cattle and Sheep On
Free List and Lower Rate On
Swine Defeated In House
Caucus.

Washington.-Pers efforts to
put cattle and she IN the free list,
to cut the duty on sw .ne and to other
wise alter the ways and means COM
mittee tariff revision bill were defeat
ed in the democratic caucus of the
house. The democratic leadership
fight for the bill as reported was pilot
ed by Representative Francis Burton
Harrison Of New York in the absence
Of Representative Underwood, the ma
jority leader, who is i'll.
on the senate side of congress the
tariff revisionists were inactive. The
agriculture schedule was before the
house caucus and there were some
lively speeches. Many of the new
members Of the house voiced their
views. but each time there was test
the committee was overwhelmingly
sustained.
Representative Logue OF Pennsyl.
vania, new member, precipitated the
biggest fight of the day with an
list. Cattle and sheep now are duti-
able at 10 per cent and swine at $1.50
a head. Representatives Raker Of Cal
ifornia. Russell of Missouri, and 9th
ers, urged against free cattle. declar-
ing 1t would destroy the cattle raising
industry in their states. Representa-
tives Kinkead of New Jersey and Cur
ley OF Mississippi contended free cat
tie would make a broader field to sup
ply for the Independent packers, as
against the so-called beef trust"
Representative Curley declared that
the United States might soon cease
TO be an exporter of food. He said
the Argentine republic, with popula-
tion Of only 100000. as against 92,-
10000 in the United States. exported
more than five times as much beef
and meat products as the United
States, and that the tariff protection
In America could only benefit the
trust"

mittee. said cattle last year raised q
tariff revenue Of s1,20O,O00 and that
the rate had been SO adjusted in this
bill that II would raise 100000 the
first year. II the cattle were trans
ferred to the free list, he added, the
rest of the tariff would have to be ad-
tusted to meet the loss OF revenue.

Of the late j. p. Morgan. according to
preliminary estimates made by at

The estimate is based on report that
the total estate will be about $780,
100000. A reduction OF FIVE per cent.
is allowed If the tax is paid within six
months after the estate is appraised.
Because of the various enterprises In
