Three and a half million acres will be harvested this fall. ik Sn TR Sunday Opening in Germany. One of the questions of considerable importance at the beginning of this year was the question of Sunday open- ing in the city stores. Sunday Is es- pecially the day when the peasants come from the outlying towns and vil- lages to do their shopping. The sev- eral employes’ unions and societies fa- vored shorter hours on Sundays, while many of the storekeepers desired to ireat Sunday as one of their best bus- iness days, with many customers and large receipts. It has finally been de- | cided and agreed that from Whitsun- | tide until October 1 of each year the stores may be open on Sundays from |11 o'clock until 3 o'clock, and that, in | addition, the grocery and provision | stores may open from 8 o'clock till 9 o'clock Sunday mornings.—New York ; Commercial.

The miss- | ing man’s name is James Davis. It was reported to Haddon that he had | secured a position as marine engineer on a vessel running out of this port. Haddon is connected with the firm of Andrews & George, 242 Yokohama. | In a letter Haddon says: “My wife’s brother left Yokohama | some fifteen years ago. His name is James Davis. He was reported ship- wrecked about two years ago. He has rot written to his sister, my wife, for fifteen years and maturally she is anx- ious to know hisS whereabouts. A friend who came over from Honolulu suggested that it might be the easiest way of getting in touch with him by writing to some one in Honolulu, as he was known there by at least some | of the shipping people, having been an engineer on board some steamer from Honolulu. ! “This friend met him here in Yoko- hama when a boy and says that he| knew him in Honolulu, but lost track | of him.

A. Kinney, one of the leading members of the local bar, against Parker, on account of statements contained in an affidavit by Parker. Parker is seeking to acquire control of the ranch, claiming that as the sur- vivor of the partnership between him- self and the late John P. Parker, he is entitled to manage it. The present | manager is F. W. Carter, brother of | A. W. Carter, who is guardian of Col- onel Parker's minor grandchild, heir- | ess to one-half of the ranch. Mrs. Elizabeth J. Knight of San| Francisco, mother of the minor, also is opposing Parker’s plans. | Among other charges in Parker’s af- fidavit, filed in the Circuit Court, is one that she married his son when the latter was suffering from inflamma- | tory rheumatism and a serious heart disease and that her sole purpose was | to get hold of the property. It also was charged that she was taking part, either through being deceived or other- wise, in a conspiracy to wreck the for- tune. Parker alleged a conspiracy in- volving several leading law firms here, among them being Kinney, Robertson & Wilder, 5. M. Ballou and Assistant United States Attorney J. J. Dunne, all of whom are counsel for the opposing side. Parker's charge as to Kinney and Ballou was that thev were guilty of unprofessional conduet in that they had taken part in the formation of certain agreements whereby he was to be heavily mulcted in connection with some of the interests involved, but at the same time had protected themselves. The filing of the libel suit immediately followed. ‘ The Parker ranch is devoted to cat- tle raising. Outside of some of the large sugar plantations it is the big- gest and most valuable property in the | islands. Samuel Parker, the owner of one-half, is the former Republican Na- | I tional Committeeman for Hawaii and | has long been prominent in island af-! fairs. | —e——— “HONEST FREE SWEAT" | Promotes Health and Good Humor, Even Though It Makes Discomfort.

M. Leonard, a university graduate and once a county attorney, who has been serving an indeterminate sentence for burglary at the State Prison. Leonard has prepared his own papers of appeal to the United States Circuit Court to release him from confinement under the provisions of the indeterminate sentence law. Leonard was sent to Jackson in 1894 | | for ten to fifteen years. Since that time a new State law has been enacted | providing that in all cases where of- fenses are committed prior to the pas- sage of the new law the minimum sen- tence was valid. Leonard claims that in his case the operation of the law was retroactive and that his sentence is therefore wholly void. The papers in the case, presented on a writ of certiorari, will be in the hands of the proper officials to-day. Upon the decision will depend the imprison- | ment of many other prisoners in addi- tion to those released under the deci- sion of the State Supreme Court. ———————— ALL TRANSATLANTIC LINES NOW IN THE RATE WAR Cunard’'s Reduction of Passenger Fares Is Met by Every Competitor.
