CRAFT IN HAWAII?
Judge Wilder Charges Governor
Pinkham With Fraud.
Appeal to Wilson for Removal
of Executive.

San Francisco. May 1O.-Judge A:
A. Wilder, former supreme justice OF
Hawaii, has arrived in San Francisco on
the Matsonia from Honolulu, en- route
to Washington, d. c., where ne VIII
prefer serious charges of m1sappro-
priation of government funds against
Governor Lucius E. Pinkham, OF Ha-
wall.
Judge Wilder states that he Will ap-
peal to President Wilson and demand
the immediate dismissal of the Ha-
waiian governor. on the grounds that
he has given an appropriation of s1O,-
600 to the Filipino national guard,
which was voted for the care of in
digent foreigners.
This action on the part of Gov
ernor Pinkham. which was purely
political move, should result in his i'm
mediate discharge" he said These
F'ilipinos on whom he has centered
his interests, are a lot of idle, worth
less men who are entitled to nothing
whatsoever from the government
The people for whom the appropria-
ton was made are really worthy and
need help"
Judge Wilder also declares that
commercial progress in the islands
has been greatly retarded for several
years because of the governors lack
of executive ability.

moment later. The Other policemen

FINEST OF SEASON
Warm, Sunshiny Weather Dur
ing the Past Week.
Alfalfa Maturing; Wheat Grow
ing, Says Weather Bureau.

Almost continual warm weather and
abundant sunshine made this the
finest growing week of the season in
practically all parts of Kansas. accord
ing to the summary of weather ana
crop conditions issued today by the
weather bureau.
Light, scattered rains fell the fore
part of the week, but they were not
sufficient to interfere with farm work,
which made fine Roadway. There was
plenty of moisture in the ground in
the eastern half of the state and a
sufficient amount for present needs
in the central and northwestern coun-
ties, but in the southwestern counties
rain is beginning to be needed badly.
Small Grains Thriving.
Wheat continues to look fine and
has made a good growth in almost all
parts except the southwestern coun-
ties, where the dry weather is retard-
ing it, and in localities in the central
part, where it has been damaged
somewhat by the Hessian fly and other
causes. Oats, barley and rye are also
promising. Rye is beginning to head
in the northwestern counties.
Farmers have been very busy plant
ing corn this week with the ground in
fine shape. The crop is practically all
planted in the southern counties and
about half done along the Nebraska
rapidly under the forcing effect of the
warm weather, and cultivation has al
ready begun in the southeastern coun-
ties. good rain over the western
half of the state would now benefit it
greatly.
Alfalfa Almost Ready to Cut.
Reports on alfalfa are almost uni
formly flattering. Cutting will begin
within another two weeks if weather
conditions continue favorable. Pas
lures and clover, where grown, are
also doing well.
Gardens and potatoes are finally
getting started after the setback they
received in April. Apples and cherries
are setting on nicely. Raspberries in
the northeastern counties are not as
promising as they usually are at this
time of the year. 1t is expected thai
picking Strawberries will begin in the
southeastern counties next week.
