DEEP DRAFT SHIP
GOES THROUGH CANAL
I Associated Press by Federal wireless

Associated Press by Federal Wireless |
PANAMA, G.. r., Jan. 8.-The steam
er Newton, Captain Abbott, last of the
fleet of vessels delayed by the slide in
the Gailliard cut, passed through the
Panama canal yesterday afternoon,
drawing 81 feet OF water. The New
ton left San Francisco September 80,
bound for Stockholm, and reached Bal
boa, October Is, just in time to be
tied up indefinitely by the closing of
the channel of the canal.
Gen. Goethals. engineer in charge
of the canal. in an interview yester-
day declared that even yet the canal
is not In condition for regular traffic,
and that the opening for passage now
Is but temporary
= Il is probable" said Gen. Goethals,"
that the canal will be closed for a
considerable period yet, although am
unable to give any idea of the length
of time it will take us to put it in
shape for traffic. II is in no condf-
ton for continuous traffic.
Asked for an estimate of the time
necessary to clear the Gailliard cut,
Gen. Goethals declined, saying,
there are too many unknown factors
in that problem"

than one allotment of any one kind
The amount of seed and plants sent
pend upon the demand. But in any
case 1t will be sufficient to try out the
variety and enable the planter to grow
stock enough to plant field area the
succeeding season.
What Can BE Done. ..~ s.. ....:..=
To illustrate what can be accom-
plished in this regard, it may be of
interest to site the case of our propa-
cation of the so-called 'Modera" or
Kauai sweet potato. In March, 1915,
300 cuttings of this variety were pur-
chased from the planter controlling
the stock. The cuttings were so i'm
mature that less than dozen grew.
Five hundred additional cuttings were
purchased in May. From the latter
purchase, plants have been produced
in this short interval to produce about
25,000 cuttings which are now ready
for distribution. Field corn will null
tipIy a thousand fold within season;
Most of the legumes will do about as
we'll And nearly all the allotments
sent out under the present distribu-
ton will enable, the recipient to de-
velop a stock sufficient to plant an
acre the following season II would

Cultural Notes.-FIeld corn may be
planted in rows three feet apart. eight
inches aoaTt in the row. Plant as
early in the year as the weather con
ditons will permit. For green fodder
and silage the so-called "Kula" corn Of
Maui gives very satisfactory results
in a wet season Corn is Z
greedy feeder and requires a rich sol
and ample moisture to mature maxi
mum crop. New lands usually give
good yields when we'll titled. If lack
ing in organic matter old land should
be given a heavy dressing of BARNARD
manure, or a heavy growth OF some
crop should be well
worked into the surface eight inches
When the organic matter is we'll rot
ted the crop may be planted with TIE
assurance, climatic conditions being
favorable, and seed of adaptable
kind, that a good crop will result. 1t

Led by strikers a mob of several
thousand men and boys broke into d
store of explosives and stole 500

In the meantime other sections of
the mob had begun to break into the
smaller stores in the mill district and
were lootlng everything in sight. En-
forts OF the police patrols to stop this
were abortiye, although scores OF ar
rests were made. In many instances
the arrested men were snatched from
the officers by their friends.
Rioters Refuse Compromise.
Early In the evening officials Of the
three rolling mills involved in the
strike attempted to reach comprom-

made Of raises in the pay Of the work
ers to % cents an hour
This offer, when communicated to
the men by the members of the com.
mittee which had acted as represen.
tatiyes Of the strikers, brought GU!
prolonged bowls of derision and the
repeated demand for rs cents an hour
minimum.
Call for Militia.
At 10 o'clock the chief of police and
the sheriff held consultation on the
situation, and 1t was agreed that the
local authorities were quite unable to
cope with the emergency, which has
passed all expectations of earlier in
the day when the rioting began, and
1t was decided to telegraph to the gov
ernor of the state and ask for militia
to quell the rioting. II was expected
that the militia would reach the city
some time after midnight.
More than 5000 men are employed
by the Sheet Tube Company, and of
these 1000 were affected by the strike
order Since then other workers have
gone out, the trouble swiftly spread

AGAINST cZENoWITZ DEFENsEs.


LONDON, Eng, Jan. S.-With Pet
rograd reporting continued successes
ON the Styr front, and with Berlin
admitting that the situation in that
district is rapidly becoming critical,
the Russian advance in Galicia, which
threatens the continued Austrian oc-
cupation Of Lemberg, still holds the
center of the stage In the great war
drama that Is unfolding from day to
day In Europe -
Details of the assault by the Slav
columns on the Teutonic line, and the
smashing of the German-Austrian de-
lenses are beginning to come in, al.
though slowly. Petrograd dispatches
last night announced that the war de-
l,artment of the Car had reported
that 400 heavy guns of all sizes and
calibers were used to pound to flinders
the Teuton trenches, and prepare the
path for the infantry's entrance into
Czernowitz. For more than so hours
the cannonade was kept up. until the
ground in front Of the foes was churn-
ed to pulp and the. barb wire fortf-
fications cut and useless.
From Berlin comes the formal adj
mission that the situation in Galicia
lis becoming critical" although the
battle is not ended.
Russian Losses $4,000.
Vienna has little to say regarding
the latest Russian drive, but the Off
cial statement of last night reports
that the Slavs lost $4,000 men in the
fighting that followed the advance
from the old lines In Bessarabia.

DISTRIBUTION OF FARM SEEDS
AND PLANTS

DISTRIBUTION OF FARM SEEDS
AND PLANTS
The following list of seeds and
plants were grown at the U. S. sub
station and demonstration farm, Hal.
ku, Maui, during the past year. Most
Of the crops represented have been
grown successfully for the past three
years at the Haiku station, but have
not yet been introduced to general
agriculture A ready market appears
to await most of the crops given in
the list, the product from some Is
acres distributed among the list Of va
rieties having met with ready sale so
far as offered There Is especially a
growing demand for the various le-
guminous seeds suited for green-ma-
nuring crops from the sugar planta-
tions. White potatoes and sweet po-
tatoes of the varieties offered in the
following list have also met with
good market The newer varieties of
grasses, including the Uba or Japa-
nese cane, are being sought after by
stockmen. Taken altogether the list
is sufficiently new and diversified to
mark a new era in Hawaiian agricul-
ture if the farmers of the territory
will avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to secure select stocks of those
tried crops and incorporate their cul-
ture into their present cropping
scheme, which has in the past been so
limited and strikingly one-sided.
The beginning of new crop-year
should give our farmers new courage.
fa
us in the Introduction and trials. This
phase of agricultural extension work
Is very warmly approved on the main
land and we hope and believe in this
instance will bring us into touch with
the enterprising farmers in all parts
of the territory.
Aims and Methods of Distribution.
To reduce as much as practicable the
large amount of correspondence en-
tailed upon the extension division by
the distribution, we would appreciate
applicants giving careful consideration
to the following points:
First-Do not apply for things not
mentioned in the list. While We test
out great many varieties of new
crops during the year, only such are
offered to the public as give promise
of success Nor do we offer such
seeds and plants as can usually be pur-
chased in the open market: Do not
make a general request for the whole
list Of seeds offered, or for anything
which will do in this locality Apply
specifically for what interests you, or
may prove of value to YOU However,
we are always ready and glad to offer
suggestions when called upon to do so.
Second-We require the applicant to
pay a small amount for each thing
received, partly to bear the cost OF
growing and distribution, but chiefly !
to insure that he has not purely an
idle desire for what can be had for
nothing, but intends to make trial |
for definite end. A brief report upon t
the outcome of the trial planting is de- |
sized by the extension division. Such I
data will be carefully summarized at
the end of the year and will be is
sued in bulletin form for the benefit of I
all concerned.
Third-Application may be made for
one or more kinds of seeds, but an

NINETEEN RIOTERS SHOT,
AND SCORES ARRESTED
Governor Asked to Send Militia;
Police Are Unable to Cope
With Trouble
TAssociated Press by Federal Wireless ]

ASSOCIATED Press by Federal Wireless
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Jan. s.
Nineteen persons have been shot,
three OF them fatally, during the riot
ing which broke out yesterday after
noon among strikers from the Sheet
Tube Company's rolling mills.
More than 5000 strikers, demanding
more pay, terrorized the entire dis
trict in which the mills are situated
and when their demands were not
met, began using the torch, starting
a conhagration that already has done
nearly $1,000.000 damage.
The heroic attempts on the part of
the police TO save the buildings. when
the striking men and the throngs of
hoodlums who followed them began
setting fire to the mill buildings, pre-
cipitated the first clash in (which hall
a dozen men were wounded, some Sc
riously.
Police Helpless.
The police, however. proved unable
to handle the situation. even with the
aid of a posse of citizens, and the
wave of strikers swept on to other
mills, which they fired. The flames
spread quickly as the strikers refused
to permit the firemen to work, cut
ting the hose OF the engines, breaking
through the fire lines which the po-
lice tried to establish, and topping
over the ladders which the firemen at
tempted to raise.
BY midnight the conflagration had
taken in ten mills, and the structures
were burning fercely, lighting up the
entire city and threatening the extern
sive business district of East Youngs-
town. al
Estimates Of the damage were vague
and ranged from eight hundred thou
sand to one million dollars, with the
certainty that II would be higher un-
less the flames could be got under
control at once.
