WEEDS WITH HANDS CLASPED
OVER MOTHERS COFFIN
Parents Opposition Had Delayed
Marriage More Than 20 Years.

Martinsville, Ind, Dec. 2l.-
The friends and relatives had as
sembleG to attend the funeral
services for Mrs. Mary Mitchell,
who died on Sunday. Softly the
musicians sang Abide With
Me-" and the minister, the Rev.
l.. H. Hartman, was about to
proceed with the funeral cere-
mony, when he came to an abb
rupt halt.
Miss Nettie Mitchell, daughter
of the dead woman, and Pr.
W. Fewman descended the stairs
walked to the the open coffin,
with hands clasped over the dead
woman's body asked that they
might be married. The cere-
mony proceeded amid the most
, intense silence. 1t was a sur.
prise to everybody.
The minister then proceeded
with the funeral exercises, after
which the newly married couple
received the congratulations of
their friends, and then accom-
panied the funeral party to the
cemetery.
The marriage was the result of
a romance that had lasted for
more than twenty years, the
marriage being delayed, it is
said, on account of the opposit-
ion of the mother to her daugh-
ter leaving her. Mr.. and Mrs.

TO BUY MILLION
BALES OF COTTON
Differ from Warning Nation Reeeiv'
ed by Farmers Union.

New Orleans. Dec. q. An
nouncement was made at yester-
days session here Of the Assoc
iation Of State Presidents of the
Farmers Union that the assoc
iation has in its possession a bona
fide offer from one of the chief
warning nations Of Europe to buy
one million bales Of middling
grade cotton at twenty cents per
pound.
The order is from private par
ties. il was said, and in no way
is il related TO an order from
Germany for 1.0OO.0O0 bales at
fifteen cents, announced on Sep
TENDER Sth. by Senator Smith, of
Georgia.
The committee composed Of II,
N. Pope, ID. f.. Lyday and Peter
Radford, all of Texas, was APP
pointed to confer with govern.
ment officials in Washington in
an effort to obtain protection for
shipment. 1t was said the cot
ton would be sold and forwarded
under the supervision of I h G
Farmers Cooperative and Edu-
cational Union of America and
that each cotton state would fur
nish a portion of the shipment.
The offer, il was stated, specified
that the cotton was TO be used
for domestic purposes only, and
\ it was declared the shipment
would be assembled in New Or,
leans for early delivery.
Aside from safeguarding the
financial part of the transaction
it was said the belligerent gov
eminent agreed to the appoint
ment by the United States gov
eminent of a committee to &C

that the cotton is not used in the
manufacture of ammunition.

TOURIST TRADE

This afternoon before the Hawaii
Promotion Committee, Assistant Sec
rotary Taylor in his formal report
made note of the congested travel con-
dftions to and from Honolulu and the
trouble tourists are having in arrang-
ing their bookings.
This portion of the report read by
Mr.. Taylor is as follows:
aThe taking off of the Sierra, which
made another congestion in travel
from Honolulu to San Francisco, as
well as from Honolulu to Vancouver.
has created some distress among
travellers who came here with round
trip tickets, and many of them have
had to spend considerable time going
to the shipping offices to get return
accommodations. Many of them have
had to cut their visits short in order
to take passage on other vessels. Two
tourists endeavored to leave on freight
steamers.
-Four people from the Pleasanton
left yesterday on the Niagara for their
homes in Colorado by way of Van
couyer. This necessitated, for the
four, an increased expenditure of
nearly $500. They have had to cut
their stay in Honolulu by one week,
which they said they would have been
glad to have spent in Honolulu, and
in addition the hotel loses at least
$50"

WILL RUSH WORK
TO MAKE ARMORY
SAFE FOR Drill
Staging Must Be Erected on
Main Floor in Order That
TrusSes May Be Braced

The national guard armory will not
be closed for drills and assemblies any
longer than is absolutely necessary to
insure the safety of the building and
its occupants. This was definitely
known this morning. when Supterinten.
dent Of Public Works Charles r,
Forbes made another inspection OF
the building and decided on course
of action.
Forbes is now preparing sketches
for alterations which will stiffen up
the roof trusses with lateral braces,
and guard against any further sagging
of the truss cords. 1t will be neces-
sary to erect staging on the main drill
floor from which to work, and this
will cut out the use of the building
for military purposes while the work
is in progress.
IT do not know how long it will be
before these changes are made" said
Forbes this morning.
Work will be pushed as speedily as
possible, so that the national guard
win be inconvenienced very little. Ny
office will get the sketches out imme-
diately.
Adjt.-Gen. J. w. Jones of the nation
al guard appeared before the house OF
representatives at the last session OF.
the legislature and warned the solons
of the dangerous condition of the arm
cry. He said that insufficient trusses
had been placed in the building and
that under a heavy strain the roof
was in danger of collapsing.
AS a result fthis warning the leg
islature added $4,000 to the original
armory building appropriation Of $780,
zoe, making 100000 in all. This s2O..
boo became available July 1.

NO REPUBLICANS WANTED.

In indorsing Chief Justice A. &. NJ. Robert
son for reappointment the Bar Association has
affirmed its respect and professional admira-
ton for jurist who well-deserves such tribute
But the probability that the chief justice will
be reappointed is remote. The department OF
justice is evidently determined to recommend
none but Democrats for the Hawaiian bench.
Judge Robertson in days of old was Repub-
lican. Since his accession to the bench he has
taken no part whatever in politics, and he let
ut be known throughout Hawaii that the dis
trict magistrates appointed by him were also
to take no active part in politics. Nevertheless,
Washington Democracy ranks him as Repub-
lican and proposes to act accordingly.
The most authoritative information obtain
able in Hawaii is that the department of justice
is quite resolved on the course of recommends
ing no Republicans for appointment. If Demo
cratic material is not now available-and the
patent delay of the department indicates some
difficulty in selecting the proper. men-it is
planned to allow the Republican judges to con-
tinue in office as long as they wll-stay, serving
with terms expired, while the powers that be
hunt for suitable successors.
The Bar Association recommends Attorney
General Stainback to succeed Circuit Judge
Whitney, Republican who grew tired of serv-
ing without reappointment. The attorney
general has steadily grown in the estimation
of the territory since Governor Pinkham chose
hims Furthermore, as he is Democrat, he
has thereby a qualification which the admins
tration evidently regards as indispensable.

PRESIDENT HADLEY ON MILITARY
EDUCATION.

A good deal was said, when the last legisla-
ture was considering the military education
bill, concerning the attitude of leading educa-
tors of America on this topic. The 'santis .
tried to show that educators are against mill
tary training in the public schools and insti-
tutions of learning.
President Hadley of Yale in a recent speech
before the Yale Alumni Association of North
ern California shows conclusively where he
stands in the following vigorous comment:
We have all lived this year under the
shadow of the war. We are all trying to see
into the future and not succeeding very well.
The interest in the questions that involve even
our own country is very great | think you
will be interested to know that in the camps
the army officers have established for training
officers for the reserve, there are more Yale
men than men from any other college. These
men know that if trouble should come they
would be the first to be called upon to give the
full measure of devotion. 1t is a SOLDERING
thought, and for those who think that prepar
edness for war must mean recklessness to make
war, it is an influence worth consideration,
The spirit Of the Yale boys today is the same
spirit that has animated them in the past

WHY SPEND 100000

G. X. harrison, on whose ability and reputa
ton as hydraulic engineer and water expert
the United States government has set its stamp
OF approval, is vigorously opposed to the ex-
penditure of $4,000 by the city and county for
the water commissions activities
He says it is waste of money; that the sum
is inadequate to make thorough investigation
of HoHoluIus water resources by tHnneling or
boring; that there is plenty of surface water
available for Honolulu for the next fifty years;
and that all of the data and statistics concern
ing the surface water may be secured free of
charge from his office.
He offers to lend his aid and that of his
trained office staff to such investigations as
will be of use to the city,
Mr.. harrison by no stretch of the magma
ton can be accused of having an axe to grind.
His office is independent Of local institutions
or local politics. He is the head of the water
resources branch of the United States hydro
graphic survey in Hawaii; his office is affiliated
with the territorial government through the
bureau Of agriculture and forestry He speaks
now simply because he cannot remain silent
and see what he considers a waste of public
money on an impractical, however well-meant,
hunt for a new water-supply.
The Star-Bulletin said before the mayor had
named the water commission that the expendi-
ture Of the money should be closely guarded
for there was danget of waste. The commits,
sion chosen by the mayor is a strong one and
as nearly safe from ulterior Influences as any
body Of men in Hawaii can well be-
Nevertheless, in view of the emphatic state
ment of an expert of Mr.. Larrison's type the
question may again be put whether there is
any need to spend $40, 900 of Honolulu S money
in active field investigation of new water
sources.
Certainly if it is a fact land Mr.. harrison
says it is--that already proved and measured
surface waters in Honolulu are sufficient to-
provide an ample supply, there is no need toI
begin or even to consider expensive tnnneling
or boring schemes, or the bringing of water
from distant points to the city mains.
He again calls attention to the possibilities
for using waste waters from local power plants
This possibility has been repeatedly pointed
out but the comparatively small amount of
money and effort necessary to take advantagel
OF ID has never been forthcoming
