the money and have a time.
The bag containing the jewel
nv was secreted along the track
west of the Farmers Elevator.
George Jordon, 16, was soli-
cited by Grotjan to assist in
the robbery and share the prof
it, but he declined. He was
threatened in case he made
mention of the matter, but. Fri
day morning he told of the rob
berry and all implicated.
Hudson and Hooker went to
Brunswick and were waiting
for Grotjan to come along on g
train on which they would all
90 to Kansas City. Grotjan,
staying at Dalton and listening
to the discussion of the robbery
of the night before, soon heard
that the Moberly bloodhounds
would appear about noon, and
he made his disappearance.
The dogs had no difficulty in
trailing the boys from the Bar
ton store to the scene of the rob-
berries, then to the room occu-
pied by Grotjan and from there
to the place where the jewelry
was hidden.
H. G. Strumpfer of Moberly
went to Brunswick and got
Hooker and Hudson and. broi
them back TO Dalton. The boys
told where the jewelry was
concealed.
The boys all gave bond fol
their appearance at the circuit
court except Clarence Hooker
who was brought here and plac,
ed in the county jail.
Thursday noon a screen dool
at the rear of Gardner's drug
store was forced and a small
amount of cash was taken
about $1.51. In this case thert
is absolutely no clue.

PISTON HEAD OF 45O H.
P. ENGINE GOES OUT

Almost without warning the
piston head Of the $50 horse
power Uniflow engine at the
municipal plant blewou Satlill
day afternoon and crashed
through the brick wall facing
it. The ponderous mass then
fell inert on the granitoid floor.
The accident occurred at 400
p. m. and just before the crash
came j. L. Reece, assistant en-
gineer, was in conversation with
a man named Jenkins from
Bucklin. The two were stand
ing almost in front of the cylin-
der head Of the engine. They
had been talking about the big
power unit, and Of its almost
noiseless, smooth action. AT
that moment a section of the
intricate self-oiling attachment
of the big machine, weighing
about 20 pounds, fell at Mr..
Reece's feet. The two men
made a hurried retreat, and
were next conscious of a ire
mendous crash, as the bolt
heads were stripped from the
cylinder head and the big mass
of iron plunged through the
brick wall.
The cast iron guides sustain-
ing the piston rod were snapped
In two, the rod bent and the
room was filed with escaping
steam.
Mr.. Reece lost no time>in find
ing his way to the side of the
wrecked engine and turning the
valve that admitted the steam
from the boiler. When the at
mosphere cleared the light plant
employees turned their attention
to the remaining unit, the $50
horse power Corliss engine, and
realizing that is was the only
dependence of the city for light
and power in this emergency,
steps were taken to husband
its energies.
The Unifow engine had been
carrying most of the load at
the light and power plant, and
estimating that it would take
from three to five weeks for the
repairs to be made, it was decid-
ed to reduce the load by shut
ting off the street lights and
discontinuing out of town ser
vice, with the exception of the
ice plant at Bucklin.
The Merkle Machinery Co.
manufacturers of the wrecked
engine, sent a man to Marceline
Monday and steps are being Ia
ken to effd the repairs. The
company is doing everything
that 1t can in the emergency.

dent occurred 2 man from the

aH
Agreement was reached tonight BY
the joint conference COMMITTEES upon
every phase. Of the road situation,
and the two branches Of the General
Assembly met at 1880 to consider the
reports.
jefferson City, Mo-, July 30<-7
The biggest thing done by the joint
committee was the settlement of the
apportionment plan, which was the
snag which came near wrecking the
$6O,0O0,000t proposition.
Under the agreement there is set
aside $29,OO0,010 for roads of higher
type than gravel and $31, 600, 900 for
gravel roads which are deemed sat-
isfactory in majority of the coun-
ties. a
The House Conference Committee;
consisting of w. f. Bailey of JAS
per, o. B. Whitaker of Hickory and
D. L. Bales of Shannon, proposed the
apportionment, which was accepted
today by the Senate Conference Cons
mittee, composed of Senators Richard
Ralph of st. Louis, David Proctor Of
Kansas City and j. D. Hostetter Of
Pike. Yesterday the Senators re-
jected the proposal.
Summary of Apportionment
Briefly summarized, the PROPOSE
ton of the apportionment is:
/. That there be apportioned to
each of the ia counties of the state
$4,000 mile for their roads.
2. That $20,O0O,0O0, or one-thiri
Of the $60,OOO,00O be employed upon
roads of higher type than gravel.
which, added to the apportionment
of $4,000 mile to counties which
must have a higher type than gravel,
gives the 100000. 1t is estimat-
ed that 1900 miles of road will be Of
concrete or some comparable type.
8. 1t is further provided that one
third of any money received from
the Federal Government be applied
to roads of higher type and two
thirds of roads of gravel construc-
ton, which would apportion that
fund, upon the estimate. of $685.
100000, about in the proportion d
s11,50O.OOO and 2a,5OO,o00. 8
/ Hapes Urges Acceptance
Mai. Harry B. Hawes, Elevene
District Congressman, who was here
gave early Endorsement to the Hocse
proposal and it's known that Halves
urged several of the senator's tc
accept the proposal as one, which
seemed fair alike to the country ant
city.
Gov. Hyde also used his influence to
assist in the settlement being in
touch with members of conference
committee last night after the House
proposal had been reduced to writ.
ing and placed in the hands Of Sena'
tors for consideration.
| o. B. Whitaker, member of the con
ference committee, who was regarded
as one Of the staunchest exponents Of
strong county guarantees, expresset
satisfaction with the settlement anc
said that it should escape the refer
endum, although he was not certain
what some organizations which hav'
Ibeen fighting the $60,Oo0.0OO program

Plans for Luau and
Sports for ChiIdren's
Home Move Forward

Plans for the luau and sports of
Kamehameha Day for the benefit of
the children's's home fund are going
steadily forward, working out a pro
gram along the lines laid down at
the preliminary meeting. Naturally
there are some changes in the prelim-
mary plans but where any proposed
number has been abandoned, others
have been substituted and a worth
while day is easily assured.
An addition to the program as it
was tentatively laid down will be
the bringing over from Lahaina of
practically all of the performers who
participated in the might in Hawaii
number of the successful variety show
that was given in Lahaina a few
weeks ago in the outdoor Circle
It will be an afternoon in Hawaii
they will furnish instead of an
evening. There will be the same
children hula dancers, the same
musical numbers, instrumental as
well as musical and the chanting
of an old mele will be n of the, in
this day, unusual features.
In addition TO ne OF COMMIT
tees of the various districts for aiding
in the financing of the home project
il is announced this week that Mrs.
A. w. Collins will head the Lahaina
committee and Mrs. d. T. Fleming
will head the committee for the Ho-
nolua district.
Subscription lists are now being
circulated actively in some of h dis
tricts but no detailed reports on
amounts promised are as yet avail
able. Quite a handsome sum, more
than $3.50, was realized by the fair
that was held in connection with the
Feast OF the Holy Ghost at Makawao
last Sunday.
Meantime the need of such an insti-
tuition steadily grows and the awaken
ing to the need which will bring reali-
cation OF plans is approaching.

ing the past few years with the Hol-
stein and Ayrshire breeds leading in
the number imported. The Holstein
COW is the best milk producer in the
world as has been repeatedly dem
onstrated by numerous official tests
but the Ayrshire produces milk with
a higher butter fat content and she is
becoming increasingly popular for this
reason, as well as the splendid rug
ged dairy type and conformation that
most of these animals possess.
Hawaii has several plantation dair-
les that would be leaders in the best
dairy sections of the United States,
and many more are in the process of
being improved at the present time.
The fairs, both Territorial and Coun-
ty, have proved a big stimulus in this
matter, and the systematic business
methods that have made Hawaii plan
tations the highest producers in the
world, are doing the rest"
Schools Are Visited
The extension service party is Wis
ting most of the schools on Maui this
week as a part of the extension SER
vice program and finding many things
of interest. Under the guidance of
Il. Z. Bowman, H. M. Wells and f.
Il. Cameron, but limited time prevent
ed them from going to every school.
The morning of each day has been
devoted to this work, the men inspect
ing the school gardens and usually
taking a few minutes 10 speak to the
children. Sometimes the entomolo-
gist of the party, o. H. Swezey of the
H. S. p. A. Experiment Station, tells
the gardening boys about the insect
pests and how to kill them and how
parasites are helping them in this
killing of pests. The boys stand
around open-mouthed in their interest
or else gather in every bug they can
find and ask what it is and what it
does.
Children Deeply Interested
Sometimes it is Professor l.. A.
Henke, University of Hawaii Agricul-
turist, who talks to the children, tell
ing them how their plants get their
food and how they grow and produce
the crops, and why some varieties
are better than others, or f. G..
Krauss, longtime resident of Maui,
tells the children how to make their
gardens better. In most of the schools
Professor David Crawford, manager
of The extension service, talked to the
children on different subjects that are
of interest to youngsters. At the
high school on Wednesday he told the
boys and girls about the University
of Hawaii and what it offers in COM
parison with mainland universities
He showed that in all essentials the
Territory's university is equal to any
in the country.
