ROOSEVELT WINS LIBEL SUIT.
Twelve Men for AcquitsaI From First,
But One Stood Out for Costs.

Syracuse, n. Y.-Twelve men chosen
as jury to determine whether Thee
dore Roosevelt libeled VIM. Barnes
when he charged that he worked in
corrupt alliance between crooked
business and politics" and that
he was "corruptly allied with Chas
F. Murphy of Tammany Hall" return
ed verdict in favor of the former
president. In the belief of the jury
everything Colonel Roosevelt said
about the former chairman of the re-
publican state committee was true,
and therefore Mr.. Barnes was not IL
beled.
Counsel for Mr.. Barnes announced
that an appeal would be taken.
The verdict was returned after 40
ballots had been taken, and the jury
had considered for AZ hours the evil
dence which was presented during
five weeks of the trial. Nineteen hours
were consumed before IL of the jury
men, who since the second ballot had
stood together, persuaded juror No IL
Edward Burns, a Syracuse motor
man and a republican-to join with
them in returning verdict which
Colonel Roosevelt later declared to be
"typically American"
For IL of those 10 hours the jurors
in favor of an unconditional verdict
for the defendant talked to the one
who, while himself favoring similar
verdict, insisted that the court costs
and disbursements should be divided

Midway between the mansion of
Henry E. Huntington, street railway
magnate, and the palatial hotel that he
built for wealthy tourists near Pasa-
dena, Cal, Kenneth Wallace eldest
son of former Lieutenant Governor A.
]. Wallace, has pitched his tent and
claimed homestead right to six acres
of the Huntington estate, valued at
$4,000, and the case is now before
the United States land office. Wallace
contends a mistake in the survey of
the estate laid the six acres open to
claim as government land and he filed
upon it.

"Owing to the abundance of all
character of crops throughout the
entire country the supply of fruits
and vegetables so far exceeded the
demand that the Delaware farmer
was not able to market his fruit to
advantage or profit. In this re-
spect the year 1915 has not been
as favorable to the farmer as he
had reason to expect.
The clearing house records re-
fleet the prosperous condition OF
our business and commercial af-

while maintaining a conservative
course have prospered along their
respective lines and the outlook
for 1916 from the banking and fl
nancial viewpoint is favorable
We should enter the new year con-

It Isn't Your Town-Its You

If you want to live in the kind of
a town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in
grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left be-
hind,
For there's nothing that's really
new.
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the
dead,
And if while you make your per-
sonal stake
Your neighbor can make one
too,
Your town will be what you want
to see.
1t isn't your town-it's you.

The Governor said in part:
at is difficult to determine with
accuracy to what extent the varied
industries in this locality have
been affected by the unprecedent-
ed activity resulting from the war
in Europe.
1T is fair to presume, however,
that we have profited by the marve-
lous and sudden revival which has
taken place throughout the coun-
try, due in a very large measure to
the great and pressing demand for
American goods and American soil
products to supply the needs and
requirements of those European
countries now at war.
"At this present time one year
ago the mechanic and the laborer
were practically without employ
ment. The situation became so
serious that it was necessary to
organize relief committees. Large
sums of money were collected and
expended in the purchase of food
and supplies for the families of
the unemployed who were facing
starvation because work was not
to be had and many wage earners
could not find employment with
which to support their families.
"a sudden transition occurred
and for many months past condi-
tions have been quite different.
Today all those who wish to work
are we'll and proftably employed
Those who are not working belong
to the class the members of which
are either physically incapacitat,
ed or to the class whose members
will not avail themselves of any
opportunity which might furnish
them employment. From this
viewpoint and in this respect we
have prospered during the past
year.
Should the conflict reach
sudden termination the indus
trial situation is liable to change
rapidly and the present activity
throughout the country may suf
fer a reaction. Then the wage

AS a challenge to the spirit of
Christmas, the Devil of the Shop
of the Newark Post has issued a
booklet on the "Cause of the
War" including short essays on
What is War" and "Prepared-
ness"
Surprising to say it gives a
summary of all the facts as gath
cred from newspapers, Scraps of

dence and hot air performances by
kings and potentatoes. The article
on Preparedness" and how to
make it effective is somewhat
Fordesque but none the less peril
nent, expressing an ideal heard
much of around Christmas.
The whole thing is done up in
two colors and printed as neatly
as our boys can do it in a hurry to
meet the demand.
What the munition men do not
buy will probably be distributed by
the late Peace League of Delaware.
So if you want a few copies for

"In the past year there has been
a marked improvement in the edu-

rural communities.
"The State Board of Education
working through the State Com
missioner and the county superin-
tendents, are doing much effective,
constructive work.
"Some localities manifest
greater interest in these matters
than do others. A splendid ex-
ample of community interest is
found in the Camden-Wyoming
districts. The citizens of these
sections by practically unanimous
vote, elected to establish a consol-

to the citizens of other localities

about ten thousand volumes.

evening at the church on Tuesday,

WILL ENFORCE
LAW TO FULLEST
ON EMPLOYERS
Those Who Have Not Secured
Compensation" for Workmen
Are Liable to Fine

Following a notice that has been
spread broadcast for some time, the
Industrial Accident Board of the city
and county of Honolulu will after to-
day begin rounding up employers OF
labor in the district that have not com
piled with the regulations of the
! -Workmen's Compensation Act.
Secured Compensation, not tax.
en- out insurance., is the expression
to be used N general reference 20
such employers as have complied With
the provisions of the act AS pointed
out by q member of the board today,
there is difference between the two
expressions.
I'VE are not out to boost the insur-
ance companies" said this member to-
day. There are other ways by which
an employer may play safe than by
taking out insurance"
July / of this ear is the date on
which the law actually went into ef-
feet, but because 1t was new stat
ute, and because humanity Is natural
ly slow in coming to realization Of
such things, the board decided to post
pone fining delincuents until after, No
vember Is.
According to clerks in the Indus
trial Accident board rooms this after
noon, about so persons have signed up
and secured compensation during the
last two or three days. Frequent
telephone calls and messages from ini
surance companies coming in today
show that the public is beginning to
realize at last how short is the time
left them.
Naturally the delinquents under the
act win not be rounded up in one brief
day, as the members of the board are
fully aware. It will be slow and a
gradual process. The board does not
mean to be tyrannical, but it means
to be firm. For such persons as do
not comply with the law there is a
fine of dollar day for each employe
and companies remaining delinquent
for a period of 30 days may be en-,
joined through the circuit court from
carrying on business

Five hundred and thirty-nine million
gallons Of water year can be Sc
cured and diverted into Nuuanu Res
ervoir No. 4, according to the report
Of James T. Taylor, engineer for the
Honolulu water investigating commits
sion. His preliminary report on the
available water supply from Maole
stream, Hillebrand glen, was present
ed this morning and shows that this
amount Of water can be secured by
the construction of conduit at q total
cost for al expenses OF $24,955.
This amount, says Mr.. Taylor in his
report, is approximately rs per cent
less than the plan of tunnel and pipe
lines as proposed by the city engineer,
at cost OF $S3,500.
With his report the engineer fled a
blueprint contour map from the pre-
liminary survey Of the proposed con-
sduit.
Hillebrand glen is in Upper Nuu-
anu valley.
Immediately following the reading
Of the report, which was adopted, John
Wilson, member Of the water investi-
cation commission, moved that the
engineer take his field party and be-
gin work at once in Manoa valley on
preliminary survey to ascertain the
feasibility Of sdiverting the headwaters
OF this valley across the Nuuanu val.
ley and into Reservoir No. 4. The
motion carried unanimously.
