COURT RULES IN
 IN FAVOR OF
 HONEY LOVERS
Yonkers Judge Passes on Mo mentOuS POint-BeeS Are
 Real Property.

New York, July 12.-Are bees prop erty This apparently academic ques- tion has been settled at last. City Judge Joseph H. Beall of Yonkers. in an opinion in which he quotes authorities from Plato to Kent, decided yesterday that they are and that title to them may be recovered by their owner if they stray away from the home hive.
 The Beal1 decision. which is on all fours with similar opinions by him, as to the ownership of horses, cows, sheep pigeons, chickens and other feathered, furred and hoofed animals, was hand ed down to-day in the case of a swarm of bees claimed by Kenneth Brown. a lawyer of 8 Bridge street. Manhatton, against Fred Eckes and Albert Ste vens of Yonkers.
 The court awards the bees to Brown, although. they swarmed out of their home hive and found lodgment' on d grape vine on the premises of one Mt J. Deane, who lives next door to Brown in Hamilton avenue, Yonkers.
 Brown, the court finds. is "a lawyer and scarcely needs the bees to assist him in stinging.'' He Lived bees for rleasure and not for profit in the yard of his Yonkers home.
 One day the queen Of one of his hiye yes started to fin ! new quarters. Tho bees were Attracted by tin obligato played by Eckes on the roof of Deane's house. As result the bees swarmed on to Deane's premises and set up a new establishment. Deane strenu- ously objected to the bees when he in- advertently p1uncked one with blush ing rose one morning before starting for business. and sent for Eckes.
 Eckes explained that he had swarm ed the bees innocently, and expressed the belief that q swollen middle fin- ger of his employers right hand was only a temporary unpleasantness any how. The censor declines to permit the exact language of Deape to be transmitted, but it's import was that Eckes was to get the bees off the Deane premises as quickly as he very we'll could.
 Stevens also is a bee fancier, and recently had lost a hive Of Lees. He met Eckes, told him of his loss and negotiated for the delivery of Eckes' find, believing they were his own swarm. The opinion recites that "Eckes' delivered the bees to Stevens but unfortunately is silent as to how a swarm of bees can be delivered" l"
 Brown sought relief in the courts. and Judge Beali, in a long opinion, says: "
 r'The original proceeding here was to determine whether or not the de- fendants were guilty of larceny under that section of the law which requires a man to advertise found property. As If one should keep a rattlesnake for a pet and allow it to stroll upon anoth- CTS property and that other be guilty of larceny unless he recovered and re- turned it; IS if one should house a ti- ger which might escape to another's domain and hold that other guilty un- less he captured old Sabre Tooth and returned r." The court than dismiss les the 1al ceny charge.
 Plato. Blackstone, Kent, Gaius. Jus |tiinany Doniat, and even one puffsndcrf are quoted by, the court to prove that bees are wild animals. but property, and the bees are awarded to Brown.

they would a0QN HappAucSS to eAc IVY eign laborer and cause notices of de- crease of wages to the American laborer." 8
 Decrease in Idle Labor.
 The fact is, that since the inaugur- ation of the Democratic administra- ton on March 4. 1913, idle labor in all American industries-agr agriculture. mines. mills and occupations general 'ly-had decreased, as shown, by the reports of the labor and employment bureaus of the country. over 50 per cent. by March, 1s1s. and is now al. most unknown. This applies not only in those industries which manu- facture war goods but in agriculture, railways and all other occupations, In which war in Europe is not involved.
 Instead of notices of decrease of wages" the press for two years past has been filled with notices Pf wage increases without precedent in the worlds history. It is estimated that over 1,500 increases affecting perhaps 4, 1000, 900 workingmen have been made during the past year.
 Lurid Prophecies Defeated.
 Congressman Mann predicted in 1912 that Democratic legislation would. mean cutting off the profits and cutting down the wages: would mean strikes and riots and starva- ton and hell for the wage-earner and his family, destruction. for the manufacturer, and damnation for the home industry" e
 In spite of this lurid prophecy, how ever, the American people, including the great army of American labor, cast 6,293,019 votes for Woodrow Will son as against 3,484,956 for the Re- publican high tariff nominee, w. H. Taft. And what happened to Leader Mann's predictions? The manufac- tured product of the United States is estimated at $30,00O, 100000 as com pared with $20,0OO, 100000 in the census of 1910. The capital Invested in American manufactures is placed at $26, 6,5O0, 100000 against the former SIS. 400, 900, 900.
 The corporate income of the coun- try for 1916 is estimated at $5,000,- 000,000 against $3,200, 100000 in 1912.
 The total volume of; wages paid in manufactures. applying a 12 per cent increase for 1916 over the census estimate for 1915. is estimated at $5,- 200.Q00.000 against $3,400,000 1000 in 1910.-
 Home Building Activities. 2.
 And so far from there being evil dence of "damnation for the home industry" as predicted by our stand pat minority leader. the records of the home building activities indicate an improvement of about 35 per cent. which is sustained by further 35 per cent. gain in the volume of bank de- posits. skI A
 In fact, wages, product, railway and mill earnings, bank clearings. bank resources. building enterprise, all show that the level of American pros perity in 1916 is fully 35 per cent above the volume of 1912; and this in every part of the Union and in every branch of industrial and commercial enterprise.
 Wage Increase Began in 1913.
 Wage data collected by the U. S. Department of Labor indicate that during the first year of the new tariff and currency acts, in 1914, the aver age pay of union labor was g per cent. higher than the average level for 1907-12 under Republican laws and administration. This applied to the approximate $4,000, 100000 total paid in 1914 would amount to $360,-

inter island IS
KEEPING WARY
EYE ON &. N.

If the Great Northern continues on
the San FranciscuSan Pedro-Honolu-
lu run the nlter-Island will reduce the
Mauna Kea's schedule between here
and Hilo to one trip each way week,
officers of the company intimated to-
day.
At the present time the Mauna Kea
is making two trips week each way
between Honolulu, Hilo and way ports,
but nearly all Hilo to Honolulu pas
senger business has been captured by
the Hill liner. Matson boats have
also taken a big percentage of tourist
business from here to Kilauea volcano
via Hilo.
we are waiting to see whether the
Great Northern keeps on the Honolulu
run before making any changes in
the Mauna Kea's schedule, says Pres
ident James A. Kennedy of the Inter
Island IF she does, We may have to
cut out one trip a week to and from
Hila, as 1t has been difficult propo-
sition for us since the Great Northern
started.
Another angle to the situation, how
ever, is that If the Great Northern
Keeps on the run she may come to
Honolulu first, calling at Hilo only
on the return trip to the coast When
Cal E. Stone, general traffic manager
o fthe Great Northern Pacific Steam
ship Company, was here last week he
told q Star-Bulletin reported that the
Northern Pacific was being used as
an experiment along this line.
IF we find that our passengers and
Honolulu patrons as well prefer to
have the Great Northern come to Ho-
nolulu first from the coast, we may
make that change he said then, and
have her call at Hilo only on her voy-
age back to San Francisco.
Should this prove the case the In
ter-Island will benefit materially, as
passengers who now come from Hilo
to Honoilu will have to use the Mauna
Kea or else wait for a Matson steam
er TO bring them over.
