Mr.. Hilles asserted that Il was after

pay for his negligence by forfelllng his
JOB, that he learned from Captain Cross
that the clerk contemplated leaving the
Institution In the nssr ruture. But his
resignation was not IN the boards

that none Of the members Of The board

pleaded guilty and was sentenced to

Upon one occasion they had allowed
one OF these guards 10 work for New
Castle county at the rate Of two dol
lars a day, but had stipulated that tho
work was 20 be performed outside OF
the regular working hours for The
workhouse. This practice of extra

among The various guards at the work

Escapes.

December, 1915, when Warden Cross
first took charge. were considered
These escapes may be divided IN two
classes, escapes OF prisoners from with

LONDON, March Whether rela- tives sinai! be permitted to set up any sort. of Individual memorials they de sire on the graves of soldier relatives iu France or the present policy be con- tinueQ of permitting only the rude wooden crosses with name and iden- tilicalion number attached is the nub of a controversy which has arisen in England.
 LorI Robert Cecil has been acting as spokesman for those who desire the privilege of erecting individual mem criIls oI the graves of their soldier dead
 They are opposed by a large number of bereaved relatives who argue that most of those who have gone to look at a friends name on one of the thou sands of little oak crosses have felt that hi, grave received dignity from the reticence of it's quiet uniformity with those of all his fellow soldiers.
 At present our war cemeteries in France are the most beautiful and moving places in which men ever col lected tkeir dead" declared one Amer ican father of soldier buried in France after visit to his grave. "The contrast is enormous between their nobly expressive simplicity as monu. ments of unselfish brotherhood in arms anC the average civilian ceme- tery in France or England with it's restless, jumbled individualism. That fine contrast would soon be lost if all rela tive; might do as they chose. in getting their way they would irrepar- ably ma: the resting place of their friends comrades"

HONOLULU, T. H., March 27.-An army biplane out of control and mann ed by Lieutenant c. E. Duncan and Sergeant H. w.

 Young Morse, who is the son of Lieutenant Wilbur Morse, U. s. N. R. F., was riding his boarv on d ..g coli5 CT of the second break surf, when the airplane came out of the sky and headed straight for him. Lieutenant Duncan, pilot of the plane, caught a glimpse of Morse and tried to "zoom," but the machine refused to answer As the heavy biplane almost skinned the surf board, Morse headed into the comber just in time to escape oeire crushed.
 The machine crashed into the smok- ing breaker, smashed the propeller, ciumpled it's wings and turned over, while the lieutenant and sergeant .eaped tree with only a few scratches.

No carbonate Cres were developed in this drilling, as the carbonate eapping averaged less than 6 per cent copper.

 The total production of copper for the year was 39,5O9,461 pounds.
 Sales of copper during the year amounted to 29,972,1 ,1O6 pounds of which there were delivered 23,396,59O pounds.
