PRESS CONGRESS TO
 MEET AT HONOLULU
World Affair to Be Undertaken Early Next Fall on Pacific Isle

Honolulu, T. H., Feb. IA. Cor respondence of the Associated Press.)- Editors, publishers and representatives of twenty-four newspapers and press associations in the island, including five different races, organized recently to start immediate preparations to well come the meeting of the press congress of the world, which will convene in Honolulu early in October. probably October 4. The exact date will be flNei to coincide with steamship arrivals.
 A typical Hawaiian Aloha" (greet- ing) will be extended to the members of the congress, who are expected to represent forty different countries. Hibiscus, of which there are 2,OOO yari- cities III the islands, will play a p9omi- nent psrt in the floral welcome to the journalistic visitors, which will begin with the old Hawaiian custom of hang ing 'leis' or garlands of flowers about the necks of the guests before their ship reaches the dock.
 Arrangements for entertaining the delegates to the congress will be made to dovetail into the program for the congress sessions, which in all liklihood. will be held in the old throne room of Iolani palace, now the meeting place of the representatives in the territorial legislature. One feature Of the visi- tors entertainment, however, has been practically definitely settled, and pro- vides for a trip by steamer to the Island of Maui, which boasts the greatest ex- tinct volcano in the world, and to Hilo on the island of Hawaii, where the great active volcano of Kilauea is con- stantly in eruption.
 Following the meeting of the con- gress here. supplementary sessions will be held in Manila.

U. 5. AND ENGLAND
 DISAGREE ON GOLF
The Hitch Comes in Stymie Deh- nition-A Fine Point Involved

London, March 9.-Opinion is divided among leading English golfers on rule recently adopted by the exc cutive committee of the United States Golf Association eliminating the stymie definition or mention of the stymie. The new regulation, as report ed here, provides that, when laid a stynie on the green by his opponent, player may remove the opponents s ball, but that the opponent shall then be deemed to have holed in his next stroke"
 II would do away with the stymie altogether" said Abe Mitchell of the North Foreland club, in a published interview. ''1n my view, the ball near CT the hole should be putted first. I do not think the new rule is quite a good solution of the stymie diffi- culty To lift the ball under English rules. of course. means disaualifica- tion.''
 Alexander Herd. of the Coombe Hill club has been quoted as un- equivocally opposed to abolition of the stymie. There should be no interfer- ence, think. with the ball of an op- ponent," he declares. ''The stynie may be old fashioned, but it is a part of the game which should not be sacri- fced.''

May Raise Bamboo
 In the United States

Washington. March 9.-There is hope for a Homegrown nshpole in- dustry.
 The zeal of government agriculture Fha-ps is in a fair way to overcome dfnicnities in tho way of bamboo cul- ture in the United States. undismayed by past failures. they have busted with hot water, diseases in shoots brought from China and Japan and are preparing to start bam boo grove at Savannah, Ga. Makers of not only fishpoles, but barrel hoops, canes. phonograph needles. furniture and many other things not including tho dope" pipes whence flowed the bamboo dreams of opium smokers in other days, are expected to get their raw material at home intimate w.
 Propagation in the United States of bamboo shoots was first attempted ten or twelve years ago at Chico, Cal, and Brooksvfile. Fla. The plants de- veloped a ''mite'' which sapped their vitality, however. and it was not until experts discovered the hot water cure that hopes of growing bamboo for tho market were bright.

THREE LIVING WHO HAVE SEEN JACKSON
Mrs. Lawrence, Cardinal Gibbons, and Hall, All Remember Him

hnoxviile, Tenn. March 9.-Only three known persons are living to- day who saw Andrew Jackson.
 Cntii recently only two known Ifv- Ing persons had seen General Jackson and publication of their names re- suited in a third being found by a To- cal historian. The first of these is Mrs. Rachel Jackson Lawrence of Nashville, the generals sreat-grand- . daughter: the second is Cardinal Gib- bons Of Baltimore, and the third is Howard Waldo of Campbell Hall. Orange County, N. Y., who is se years old.
 When MT. Waldo was nine years old. his father, Samuel Levett Waldo. an eminent artist, made a portrait of Andrew Jackson in his old Pine street studio in New York city, and the boy saw the general on his visits. The portrait now hangs in the old United States custom house in New Orleans. NIT. Waldo relating his recollections of General Jackson said he was a stern-iooking man with iron-gray hair which he wore cut short and in pompadour style. Waldo painted the general in uniform. The artist sketched Jackson's head and shoul- ders on wooden panel which was never touched except when the gen. eral was sitting. From this panel which is now in the Metropolitan Nfu- scum of Art in New York city, the portrait was transferred to the life size painting of General Jackson on horseback. The painting, which was made in 1s40 or ls41, was done by Samuel l.. Waldo. having been com missioned by the people of New Or leans in honor of General Jackson's victory at New Orleans over the Brit ish forces under General Pakenham. The New Orleans people paid $500 for the painting of the picture. which was a good price in those days.
 Howard Waldo also recollects hav- ing met Daniel Webster in New York and having been impressed by the majestic appearance in a rough, long mapped beaver hat of light gray col or. a dark blue coat with plain brass buttons and buff vest and trousers. VI

WOMEN WORK IN
 MINES IN SILESIA
Children Who Are 10 and t2 Years Also Employed Report Says

Rybnik. Upper Silesia, March 9--The Women laborers in mines and factories and on railroads are more numerous than men in several districts of the coal region here. Girls and boys of ten and 12 years are regularly employed, dig ging ditches, ballasting runways. push ing trucks, and doing other heavy work which before the war was done only by men.
 This is the territory hitherto a part of Germany but claimed now by Poland. A plebiscite. or vote of the people, soon will be held under the terms of the peace treaty of Versailles to decide whether Upper Silcsia will remain Ger man or become a part of Poland.
 The German mine owners say short- age of labor and postwar economic conditions have forced the women and children into this toll, which under German administration was forbidden. There is also a shortage of manpower because of the great numbers of soldiers from here who were killed in the war.
 The women engaged in the heavy work generally are Poles. distinguished by the bright shawl-like headdress which they affect. Some of them have adopted a modification of mans apparel
 
 correspondent saw three women of two score or more who constituted a ''section gang wearing heavy trousers under their short skirts.
 The majority of the women wear heavy shoes with thick wooden soles and cloth tops, all home e-made. Some have heavy boots, which Apparently were once the property of German soi- diers.
 Coal veins in this section generally follow closely the surface of the ground and the work of taking coal out con- sists of simply digging it up. Some of the farmers have little mines on their land and when their days work is done they may be seen digging a nights SUD- ply Of fuel. The mine owners do not with these individual mining even when they. are carried out on rented farms.
