AUTO TRUCK
TURNS TURTLE

What came very near being a
fatal automobile accident occurred
last Saturday afternoon, on the road
between Koloa and Laval. Willie
Aki, accompanied by Irwin Cockett
the fourteen year old son of j. X
Cockett, of Koloa, were proceeding
toward Laval in Mr. Cockett s
truck. Aki was at the wheel and
says the machine was travelling at
the rate of about fifteen miles per
hour when suddenly he lost control.
The truck swerved to the right and
apparently turned a sommersault,
as it landed bottom side up, facing
in the opposite direction from which
it was travelling and pinning the
occupants beneath it.
Young Cockett, who was thrown
thru the wind shield and rendered
unconscious, was pinned down in
such manner that he was in dan
ger of being asphyxiated by the es-
Gaping gasoline, which was pouring
out in his face, as well as being
crushed by the weight of the car.
Aki who was not 50 badly hurt,
realizing the desperate plight of his
younger companion, by an almost
super-human effort succeeded in
raising the crushing weight off the
other boy and held it for several
minutes until relief came.
Antoine Refs, driving one of the
Kauai Trading Company's trucks
came to their relief and succeeded
in releasing the boys from their
perilous position.
Young Cockett was rushed to the
hospital at Koloa, where it was
found that his injuries, tho severe,
were not fatal. Aki escaped with
some nasty cuts about the hands
and wrists, and sprained back re-
ceived in holding the weight of the
car off his companion.

The Name Of Old Glory
BY James Whitcomb Riley

OLD GLORY! say who
BY the ships and the crew,
And the long, blended ranks of the gray and the blue
Who gave you, OLD GLORY, the name that you bear
With such pride everywhere
As you cast yourself free the rapturous air
And leap out full-length. we're wanting you TOP?
Who you that name, with the ring of the same,
And the honor and fame so becoming to you p
Your stripes stroked in ripples of white and red,
With your stars at their glitteing best overhead
BY day or by night
Their deghtullest light
Laughing down from their little square of bluel
Who gave you the of OLD GLORY ?-say, WHO
Who gave you the name of OLD GLORY?
The old banner lifted and falterng then
In vague lisps and whispers fell silent again.
OLD GLORY, speak out-we asking about
How you happened to favor a name, to say,
That sounds so familiar and careless and gay
As we cheer it and shout in wild breezy'way
We-the crowd, every of us, calling you that
We-Tom, Dick and Harry-each swinging his hat
And hurrahng OLD GLORY!" like you were our kin,
When-Lord!-we all know we are as common as sin!
And yet it Just like you humor all
And watt your thanks hail you and fall
Into line, with you us, waving
Where" our glorifed sanctifcd betters have gone
And this is the reason we're wanting to know
And we're wanting it sol
Where own fathers willing to go } -
Who you the name OLD GLORY Oho
Who gave you the of OLD GLORY?
The old flag mfurled with bowy thrill
For instant, then wsully sighed and was still
OLD GLORY: the story we're wanting to hear
Is what the plain facts of your christening were,--
For your name-just to hear it,
Repeat it, and cheer it, is tang the spirit
As salt tear
And seeing you fly, and the boys marching by,
There's shout in the throat and a blur in the eve
And an aching to live for you always-or die
IT, dying still keep you waving on high
And So by our love
For you floating above,
And the of all and the sorrows thereof
Who you the name of OLD GLOBY, and why
Are we thrilled at the name of OLD GLORY
Then the old banner eaped, like sail in the blast
And huttered an audible at last
BY the driven snOwwhite and the living blood-red
OF my bars, and their heaven of stars overhead
BY the symbol cononed of them all, skyward cast
As float from the steepe or flap at the mast
Or droop o'er the sod where the long grasses nod -
My name is as old as the glory of God
So came by the name of OLD GLORY

AS reported by +. ID. Levy, VICE
president and general manager OF the
Frisco railroad company, additional
room is being added to the freight
depot purely temporary arrange

cilities Will also be doubled.
e For the past year the freight at
the Frisco yards has been in "A tied up
condition and for the past six months
1t has been impossible to get a suffi-
cient number of freight handleres.
Three hundred men are needed in
that department alone" said Mr.. Levy
yesterday.
Shippers OF all commodities are
compelled under the new ruling to

impossible to get delivered and un-
loaded for from official reports many

ROOSEVELT ENDORSES
UNIVERSAL TRAINING
Registration of All Men From
10 Years Up Approved by
the Colonel.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt last
week isued the following statement
thru ii. II. Sheets, secretary, National
association for universal military
training:
MY dear Mr.. Sheets: I most hear
tily agree with you in your proposal
that the United States government
shall as permanent policy. at once
register all the young men from nine
teen years up, for the purpose of MIL
itary training. This is the right way
to shorten the present war. and more
over it indicates what we should adopt
as our permanent military policy As
Cardinal Gibbons has well said, such
training will benefit our young men
intellectually, not only physically but
morally and will not only fit them Tor
war, but will fit them for their work
in peace time.
Il wish TO take this opportunity to
express the gratitude that all Ameri-
cans should feel for Lieutenant Cen
eral s. b. NJ. Young for his leadership
in this cause. He has fought valiant,y
for the principle of obligatory military
training at a time when its adherents
were very few, when he practically
broke ground as pioneer. The ma
ton owes him a real debt of gratitude
If our people had followed his advice
when II was first given, this war
would have been over row. The
slaughter would have been stopped
and the nations banded together for
liberty would have achieved a com
pelling and overwhelming victory.
Not only is ii important that Cen
eral Young's urgent appeal should
now be followed by the nation SO as
to train for this war the young men
from nineteen to twenty-one, altho
not calling them out until after they
are twenty-one, but, as I have said
above, the necessities OF this war
should be met at once and without
further delay, and be made the occa-
sion of establishing q system OF per-
manent universal obligatory militar,
training.

Freeman volunteered one evening to
leave the boat and go after u goat

the river, feeding on mountain scrub.

From present indications the pecan
crop in this vicinity will exceed in
value many other crops ordinarily
considered much more valuable Many
acres of river bottoms and lowlands
surrounding this city are covered with
pecan trees well loaded with fine nuts

prices practically twice as n gh as
ever before MIR. and Mrs. w. NJ.

Many farmers and landowners have

persist in stealing these valuable nuts.

older persons from getting the nuts.

Mr.. Hartman said that the winters

weather of May.

PRESIDENT RETURNS TO
CAPITOL siege TODAY
Leaders Grow Anxious Over Danger
of An Extra Session.

With the administrative legislative pro-
gram stripped to high speed proportions.
President Wilson last night planned to
90 to the Capitol today to resume his
"prodding" OF Congress in an effort
to avoid an extra session after March
l. The President expects to camp out
with Congress today and Thursday and
three days a week from now until the
session closes.
The Senate Steering Committee of Dem
ocrats. with much misgiving yesterday
pared the legislative program down to
three general measures; the Presidents s
railroad bills; the Webb bill, authorizing
combinations of American manufacturers
and merchants for foreign trade, and the
corrupt practices bill demanded by the
President to Unit political expenditures.
Then the committee called a caucus of
Senate Democrats for tomorrow even
ing to indorse the program. which is ex-
pected to arouse vigorous opposition.
With the prospects OF a considerably
extended debate in the Senate on the
Presidents peace plans, even the mutt
lated program evolved by the Senate
Steering Committee is likely to make
slow progress and with less than six
weeks of the session remaining. the Presi-
dent Is expected TO have great difficulty
In preventing an extra session of the
new Congress soon after 1t comes into
power.
