ANCIENT BELIEF
THAT PERSON
Can BE Prayed To Death" Still
Lives In Hawaii--Man Arrested
Attempting Practice Belief.
Associated Press

HONOLULU, Nov 2.--The ancient
Hawaiian belief that a person can be
"prayed to death" If the "Kahuna" or
medicine man has something in his
possession that once belonged TO the
patient, still lives, it was revealed
here when Moke Kaiawe was arrested
on charge Of "anaana" meaning an
attempt to- pray to death"
The complaint against Kaiawe, said
to be one Of the best known medicine
men" in the Hawaiian islands and
credited with having accomplished
some remarkable cures, was made by
Mrs. Frank Kalua, wife Of territor-
ial land office clerk.
Mrs. Kalua, according to her hus-
band, was taken Ill about a month
ago, She refused to be treated by
licensed physician and placed herself
under Kaiwae's care, he said. She
seemed to recover until Kaiwae Is
said to have cut off some of her hair,
when she became seriously i'll. Mrs.
Kalau, frightened, waited anxiously
for him and when he failed to appear
on his weekly calling day, she went
to hospital, where it was necessary
to perform an operation. She is re-
covering.
The warrant and Kaiwae's arrest
followed, Much interest is being dis
played in his coming trial, the first in
the territory in years on charge of
"anaana."

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
fFrom Jno. r. Clark & Co.
by Abe Silyer.l

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2.-New
York on our holiday yesterday had
an irregular market that declinad first
on further liquidation about DO points
but recovered all loss / nafternoon
and what is said to have been trade
buying and speculative covering stim-
ulated by better views of the general
price range Of the 18 cents level.
Liverpool acted similarly and a de-
cline of IL points there yesterday is
followed today by a recovery Of Is
points. Spot prices there were un-
changed yesterday but Is up today
but sales are smaller, total 5000 bales
Large straddle operations are going
on between the markets with a flat
tening out of the premium on near
positions as an indication that wait
ing pause had been struck in demand.
Bremen has stock Of 100000 bales
American cotton and the yearly stock
count at Liverpool after a plus cor
rection Of 12,1l8 bales shows stock
Of American cotton Of 426,558 bales
and 340,2U in other kinds.
Washington advises that owing to
The holiday on Nov, Sth. Election Day
ginners report would be published on
Now 9th.
Market opened 10 to Is up on the
somewhat better action of the other
over cur holiday than had
1een expected, but the gain was lost
n the next few trades showing that
feeling for improvement is not very
pronounced. Bearish views Of the
.oming ginners report and the uncer-
.ainty Of the disclosures, developments
md final results Of the coming in
ernational conference may best ac-
.ount for the restricted support and
he occasional selling spells. Howev-
n, the idea seems to be pretty well
developed that hard stand for de-
ense may be seen around the IS
ents level and this view prompts buy
ng on declines.

BISHOP BRATTON
ANALYZES THE
Dreadful Condition Of Society And
Charges Responsibility To The
Failure Of Christians.

Large congregations greeted Bis
hop Bratton both morning and even
in in st. James church Sunday. There
was a tense expectancy in the heart
Of every one present as the result of
the COURAGEOUS articles appearing in
the Democrat-Times from the pen of
the rector in preparation for the bis
hops coming. Nor was that expect
ancy disappointed. Bishop Bratton
at the morning service revealed with
keen and thoughtful power the fright
full conditions in the world resulting
not merely from the great war, but
from the Goddess PHILOSOPHERS which
deadened the moral sense of humanity
and which resulted in the war and in
the depravity of our modern life. lie
stated that in America the Church
had lost sixty million people and re-
tanned only forty million, many of
whom were merely nominal christians
for virtually every emigrant who
came to this country from its dis
coyery was christian or the child OF
4 christian home, He asked the point
ed question is Greenville a Christian
town or are sixty per cent Of lts
white people virtually unbeiievers !"
At the evening service the Bishop
t,,rned TO the causes that had lead to
the moral and spiritual catastrophy
which is sweeping the world and he
bluntly charged it to two dreadfui
conditions within Christian church.
FIRST disunion. How he asked,
ssCan an unbelieyer be brought to be-
lieve in that about which christians
themselves are disputing, quarreling

u. s. Sold Great
Amount To Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 1.-The Am
erican Chamber Of Commerce here is
authority for the statement that the
United States sold to Mexico in the
past twelve months more by $4,000
600 than the whole trade Of Mexico
was just before the revolution.
The upward trend Of silver has also
had its good effect in Mexico and the
transportation problem is said to be
gradually growing better, altho' there
is still room for vast improvement.
AS an indication of the ill-effects Of
poor transportation is the fact that
United States lumberrnen last year
sold to Mexico almost sl4,000,000
worth Of wood products, half Of which
was pure lumber despite the presence
in the republic Of huge tracts Of for
ests.

ors Augustus. Tiberious. Caligula and
Ciaudius, has been brought here by
Professor Francis w. Kelsey of the
University of Michigan. Professor
Kelsey spent some time in Egypt in
search OF records. The collections is

veals the life Of the people during the
early Christian era.
The records obtained by Professor
Kelsey constitute a part of the files
OF record office in or near Tebtunis
Egypt and were discovered four
months ago. They are written on pa
pyrus and are chiefly in Greek, few
Demotic. They are believed to have
been covered with sand and soon af-
ter the record office fell and with few
exceptions are preserved perfectly.
The earliest record is dated Z A. D.
and bears the signature of a woman
who agreed not to bring claim against
her brothers. Another record, Of the
same period, is contract of common

Among the other records are con-
tracts Of sale covering both personal
and real property, including lands,
vineyards and houses. There also ale
leases, agreements regarding loans, a
contract of Indemnity, receipts for
wages. a receipt for dowery, official
orders, petitions to public officials,
tax receipts, documents relating to
transferring ownership of slaves and
part of registry of deeds.
What is held to be the most impor-
tant record is in the form of a roll,
more than seven feet long and written
on both sides. 1t is said to be per-
feet example of an ancient book or
scroll of the kind mentioned in the
Bible, particularly in the Book of Rev
elations. The Scroll, dated az A. D.
contains on one side abstracts of
of contracts and on the other
is a registry of the contracts, written
in the record office Of the second
year of Emperor Claudius.
Between 10 and Is years will be re-
quired to decipher all of the records
and to explain them in their relation
to Roman history, according to Pro-
fessor Kelsey. The University pro-
fessor declared there could be no ques-
tion as to the authenticity of the rec
Ords.
Another collection brought to the
by the Professor includes
a papyrus book of 12 leaves in which |
are written the incantations and for
mulas used by a master magician |
There are charms and curses for va
'ious occasions, one being love |
