READY TO ACT WHEN
PARLIAMENT MEETS

BELFAST, ireland, July 10. K Asso-
ciated Press by Federal Wireless) -
Despite the fact that apparently eY-
erything is being done in readiness to
declare Provisional Government in
Ulster, the claim is again made by
Captain James Craig, speaking, he
says, for Sir Edward Carson, the lead
err in the movement, that nothing will
be done to alter the status quo until a
parliament is set up in Dublin under
the terms of the Homo Rule Bill. This
will be listers signal TO revolt, unless
the terms of the Amending Act are al.
tered and made much more far reach
ing than the bill originally introduced
into the house of lords.
Even should matters reach their
worst stage, says Captain Craig, the
people of the Empire must remember
that the Obstetrics intend only to hold
the province for the British Empire.

EIGHT THOUSAND
TONS WILL ROT
That Quantity of Pineapples Can
not Be Taken by Packers, Says
Manager Dole.

Declaring that the pineapple packers
Of Hawaii are carrying every ounce Of
load they dare carry for the present
season. and that even with the exceed
ingly low price of fruit prevailing they
will not know whether or not they are
to get out whole before late next fall,
james ID. Dole, president Of tine Hawai-
ian Pineapple Company of Oahu and
of the Haiku Company, presented the
packers side Of the present situation
to large gathering Of homesteaders
and other pineapple growers ut the kui-
aha sehoolhouse, on Thursday night, re-
ports the Maui News.
Mr.. Dole stated that nj tho present
time there are at least 5000 TO 5000
tons of trait ripening on Oahu which
no cannor will accept at any price, for
he reason that he dare not spend the
additional $40 to $50 per ton required
to put &c into cases. This. fruit, he
stated, has been offered as low as 50
per ton, but that the price has nothing
to do with IT, Hundreds Of thousands
of dollars, he said, which has been bor-
rowed TO put up the pack, must be re-
paid whether Inc goods are marketed
or not, else the companies must 90 to
tho wall.
To give an idea of the tremendous
growth of the pineapple business, Mr..
Dole stated that this years pack of
:, 100000 or more cases equals half as
much as that of all the varieties OF
fruit put in cans in the state of Cali
fornia, this development being reached
in but eleven years, against the many
years of growth of tho Coast canning
industry.
Mr.. Dole admitted that the cost Of
growing pines is about $l5 per ton,
and that the homesteaders with con-
tracts, who get this year $11.25 per
ton, and those without contracts SILT
less, if they sell their fruit az all, have
a heavy loss to face. He stated that
he had been a homsteader himself and
that he wished to see the Haiku set.

< Packing Company will do everyth n
It can to help them make good.
Mr.. Dole went at length into the.
history of the pineapple development
in these Islands. He claimed that every

There are $4,000 regular United

Philippine scouts number 5000, and the

agree that the scouts would be loyal
TO the United States in the event Of
al uprising, but there is difference
of opinion regarding the constabulary.
Also there are the reserves, numbering
30 600, composed Of nearly all the Amer.
lean residents and many of the Eng.
lish and Germans in the islands.
OF the regular trops, 1000 are quar-.
tered at Fort Mckinley, short dis
tance from Manila, with trolley car
connection. These troops could be
rushed into Manila within half m hour.
Sixty miles distant, at Fort Stotsen-
burg, are 1000 more regulars. The dc.
partment considers these forces sufii-
cient to put down any uprising in Ma
Mia and other parts of Luzon. There
are twenty-four field guns in Manila,
but the artillery equipment in the ISL

mended a reduction Of the existing

to have collected about $50 or more at

found near the scene of the murder,
there is no doubt that robbery was the
cause Of the crime.
A lonely spot on the trail was select
ed by the murderer, and when the OIL
man drove through, riding upon one of
his three pack burrOS, he was set upon
