PEOPLE SHOULD GROW
OWN VEGETABLES, is
WESTG&TE'S OPINION

Director J. VI. Westgate of the eX.
pertinent station is of the opinion
that people of Hawaii should do more
in the way of growing their own veg
etables, thus having to rely less upon
canned goods.
AS a matter of mere dollars and
cents, Mr.. Westgate says. the growing
of vegetables here is worth while. in
addition to this there is the advantage
of knowing where your vegetables
come rom. who has had the handling
of them. and what sort OF fertilizer
has been used TO help them grow. The
director says that little study of the

CONFERENCE NOT SET
Gavira Comforting With Carranza as
to Date for Meeting Pershing.

Columb bus, n. M, May 29.-No word
has been received from General
Gayira regarding the fixing of a date
for conference between the latter
and General Pershing, announced to
be held this week near Colonia Dub
Ian. AS General Pershing is under
stood to have selected a spot near
Colonia Dub1an for the meeting, the
time it is said has been left to the
convenience of the Mexican leader.
1t is believed that General Gavira is
in communication with General Car
rama receiving instructions as to the
propositions to be laid before General
Pershing, which will have to do more
or less with the present dispositions
of American troops in Mexico.
Now that one of the chief bandit
leaders, Candida Cervantes, is dead
and his forces scattered, until the
troops are withdrawn, demonstrations
against the American troops by the
civilian population are inevitable.

SPRINGS SURPRISE
Mex Envoy Has No Note From
Carranza.
Only Seeks Release of Copper
Held in New York.

Washington, May 2s.-Manuel Men
DEE, an attache of General Carranza,
foreign office arrived here today and
conferred with Eliseo Arredondo, the
Mexican am bassador, but denied that
he brought a note as had been ex-
pected or that he brought any instruc-
lions from his chief. He declared he
was merely in the United States on a
vacation.
Mr. Arredondo and other Mexican
officials professed to be puzzled. 1t
has been reported from Mexico City
and the border that special messen-
ger was bringing new communica-
ton from General Caranza. No indl-
cations of it's contents have been given
but it has been generally assumed by
American officials that the expected
note renewed the demand for the with
drawa1 of American forces or made a
protest against the second punitive ex-
petition led by Colonel Sibley and Ma
jor Langhorne, which has. however.
returned to American territory.
At the Mexican embassy it was said
Eif a note was coming 1t probably
would be brought by some other mes
Esenger. Representations are about to
be made to the state department for
the release of a quantity of copper and
machinery consigned to the Carranza
government, but now detained in New
York Mr.. Arredondo declared to-
day that, lacking other instructions
this was the only question he had to
take I'D with the state department al
this time.
State department officials had be-
fore them today telegram from 81

PORK, SAYS T.R.
Colonel Denounces Portion OF
Navy Appropriation Bill.
Upset Discipline and Bring
Friction Among Officers.

New York, May 29.-Theodore
Roosevelt has made public two letters
pertaining to naval affairs and pre-
paredness.
In letter to Henry Reuterdahl he
denounced the proposal of Secretary
Daniels, in the naval appropriation
bill to appropriate to the navy, with
officers rank, thirty civilian engineers
each year for the next ten years.
He described the proposal as a
new form of pork barrel, which will
supply the politicians with thirty ad
ditional and yearly plums.''
He declares the plan will upset the
discipline and efficiency of the navy.
1t will restore, he says, the friction
and other disturbing conditions which
preceded the amalgamation in 1899
of the old corps of engineers with the
line officers.
In a letter to Thomas Slocum, he
criticized as Inadequate the increase
of personnel provided for in the naval
appropriation bill. He Endorsed the
coming naval training cruises as one
of the highest importance in the pre-
paredness program.
Mr.. Slocum is chairman of the New
York committee, cooperating with
the navy for the success of the cruises
