the. actual incident from which the
story was written, q woman doctor

order to examine the Threats Of her
patients, the doctor wore one of the
familiar electric lamps on her fore
head. Several Of the people exam

recovery and shortly died. The su-

Kolehmainen Returns
to sh-American A. G.
AS Member of Team

New York, Jan. 8-Hanncs Kohle-
mainen has renewed his old allegiance
with the Irish American Athletic club.
The famous Finnish runner left the
club last October One afternoon
he walked into the headquarters OF
the Amateur Athletic. Union and an
nounced that he wished his registra-
tion~changed from the h-Amer1can
A. G.. to "unattached.' Yesterday 1t
was announced that he had returned
to the fold Of his old organization.
There was considerable mystery
surrounding the withdrawal Of Kohle-
mailen from the Irish club He
never announced his reasons for leav-
ing, and the club officials were ret1-
cent in speaking of his action. All
Of them, however, disclaimed any
knowledge of a reason for his de-
termination.
His return is marked by the same
degree of secrecy, except that now
there is a rumor of differences having
been patched up. One member of
the 1rish-American A. c. said last

the grains, yet this crop in New York
last year totaled more than 10000
acres, and Pennsylvania stands as
a close second. Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, West Virginia, New Jersey and
the other eastern and the New Eng
land states also produce large crops
of this grain.
Buckwheat has, until recently been
given but little attention by expert
ment stations and consequently the
crop has been quite frequently grown
in a very haphazard way. Buckwheat
has been called poor land" crop.
It is true that buckwheat will fire.
quently produce a profitable crop on
land too poor to produce either oats
or rye profitably. but it will do still
better if given good treatment. In
fact, the New York Experiment Sta
ton finds that "buckwheat when
grown on poor land responds well to
moderate dressings of even low grade
fertilizer and many farmers who do
not use fertilizer on other crops find
it profitable NO purchase it for buck
wheat"

Rob Cafe Owner, Then
Take Him Out of State

Greenwich, Jan. S-Three masked
men held up Andrus Boles, cafe
owner, early this morning and robbed
him of $1,000 in cash and considera-
bic jewelry. After taking his money
and jewels, the robbers forced Boles
to enter an automobile and, with re-
volvers drawn, speeded away into the
country towards the New York state
line. When they had passed the line
the robbers gave Boles 81 and told
him to- walk back. Boles got into
communication with the Danbury po-
lice and gave a good description of
the robbers. They had too much of
a start to be caught, however, &C

DAIRY WANTS TO KNOW
DISPOSITION OF CATTLE
AT QUARANTINE STATION

Although making no protest as YET
against moving the cattle to the quar-
antine station at Ala Moana, the own
ers Of the Farm dairy herd at Moiliili
in which anthrax recently became pre-
yalent, have asked the board of agri'
culture and forestry what Is to be
done with the cattle after they have
been at the station for three or four
days.
This question" says Charles S.
Judd, executive officer of the board,
has not yet been answered by the
board, and probably will not be until
the time comes to move the herd"
No date has been set for the removal
Of the herd, as the station is now un-
dergoing repairs.
Mr.. Judd says that the board is op-
posed to the proposition that the Farm
herd be purchased, condemned and
killed to prevent further outbreaks OF
anthrax. The herd consists of about
100 cattle, and q selling price of 3d..
900 has been set on It.
ITO buy the herd and kill the cattle
would be setting precedent that we
might be compelled to follow out on
the other islsnds,' adds Mr.. Judd,
.and which might result In the killing
of thousands Of cattle. Such proce.
dure is not carried out on the main
land and we do not think it would be
advisable to follow it out here"

Attack On Editor
Expensive Luxury;
$50 Fine Imposed

An unprovoked attack on a news
paperman is held to be an expen-
sfve luxury, according to decision
rendered by Judge Irwin in the po-
lice court this morning.
Lum Tai, a former Chinese rice
planter, was charged with beating
up Hong Yak Lung, the editor Of
the Wah Hing Bo, a Chinese news
paper, on River street on June q.
Robert Breckons acted as counsel
for the defendant and attempted to
prove that the editor provoked the
alleged assault by splitting upon
Lum Tai.
This, however, was contradicted
and Judge Irwin held that the evi.
dence showed the assault was un-
provoked and happened while the
editor was carrying a bundle OF
papers under both arms. He i'm
posed a fine Of $50.
II is likely that the case will be
appealed. Bert Lightfoot acted as
special prosecutor for the plaintiff.
