and More Fruit.

Washington, June S-The pro-
spective wheat crop of the United
States this year was forecast today by
the department of agriculture at $780,
000.0 900 bushels. combining a revised
estimate of the badly damaged winter
crop and the first estimate of the new
condition. That compares with 640.-
and SOC, 100000 bushels, the average
crop for 1911-15.
Improved weather conditions dur
ing May increased prospects of win
ter wheat and indicated a crop of 373,-
0OO.O G0 bushels. The crop began this
spring under adverse conditions, 49,
437, 900 acres having to be abandoned
because of the severe winter and 9TH
er causes. April l conditions indi-
Gated production of 100000, 900
bushels. During that month growing
conditions were so poor that the May
l forecast was reduced to 366, 10000
bushels
The increased spring wheat area
placed at 100000 acres and the
good start of this crop under excellent
growing conditions indicate produc-
ton of 2S3,000,000 bushels compared
with 15S,142, 900 bushels last year.
51,S54 600 bushels in 1915 and 233,-

previous five years.

Riot Said TO Be Reason Exten-

Granted BY Washington

A riot, participated in by 600 or 700
Filipino members of the Second Regi-
ment, national guard, last Thursday
night, is ascribed by officers of the

shed and there might have been large
number of fatalities. -.

The trouble, according to guard Off.

Because of this the officer of the day

Admiral Cowles, who came to Homo
lulu to take command of the Honolulu
naval station in December, 1910, and
relinquished it in March, 1913, was
fortunate during his command to bring
the construction work of the Pearl
Harbor naval station, and particularly
the drydock, to the point where it
could be considered real factor in
the naval plans of the country.
Z Admiral Cowles had looked, forward
to a completion of the dock during his
but on the very day that
he prepared a cable message notifying
the Navy Department at Washington
that the first caisson section of the
dock had been pumped out and the con
crete flooring would hold permanently,
hydrostatie pressure crushed the foun-
dations and the work of four years
was cnmpled up in four minutes. The
construction of the dock had to be nm
dertaken by an entirely new method
which was adopted while Admiral
Cowles was on the station, and is now.
approaching completion.
Admiral Cowles was born at Farm
ington, Csnnecticut, July IL, 1853 and
graduated from the naval academy in
May, 1873, He had command of mum
Der of warships in the Mediterranean
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and just
prior to coming to Hawaii was in com !
mand Of the receiving ship Hancock at
New York. On leaving Honolulu he
went to San Francisco and was assign, |
ed as commander in chief Of the ,Phci7
fc Fleet Of the Navy, He leaves a.
widow and . daughter.
