Although 115 names were drawn to make up the May Jury ift the Circuit Court, only 37 were left to do duty yesterday after Presiding Judge Mor row had heard the excuses. Some of these had asked to be excused, but had been refused by the judge because their reasons were considered insuffi cient. ... One of them wished to be relieved of jury duty because he could neither read nor write. The judge told him he probably would not be called upon to do either, and that if he did others could do It for him. The Judge was somewhat amused when, in the midst of excuses on ac count of sickness and other serious matters, H. C. Wall, a hotel keeper, said he hadn't time to serve on the jury. "We haven't time to let you go. Mr. Wall." was Judge Morrow's response. "Well, I am getting too old, anyway; I'm 51." he replied. "I -am older than that," was the judge's rejoinder. "But r am losing money by it," per sisted Wall. "I have some real estate to selL" "It's a mistake to sell it now," said the judge. "The price is going up." "But I am acquainted too much here." "That's just the kind of men we need, business men. not floaters." And with that Wall gave It up, remarking that the judge could talk better than he could. Phil Harris did not wish to serve because he is a census inspector, and thought Supervisor Beach might need him. He was not excused, however. A large number were too busy to serve on the jury. Many of them were excused for a part of the term only, time being given them to arrange their business affairs for jury duty. In drawing the grand jury J. Wahl's name was called. Judge Morrow said this was a mistake, that he had ex cused Wahl, so J. W. Hickman was drawn to take his place, and was later appointed foreman of the grand Jury. Judge Morrow charged the seven talesmen Just after noon, reminding them of the law against prizefights, the selling of liquor without a license, and criminal libel. He called their attention also to the local option law. They were also pledged to absolute secrecy regarding their Investigations. The first session was held In the afternoon. .... CLASS.

UNIQUE FIGURE IN ISLES Honolulu Is Strategic Key for Con . trol of Military Activities on Pa cific, Says VisltorDrjdock Is Largest in , World. Commander-in-chief of the revolu tionary forces of Hawaii at the time when Queen Lllluokalanl was deposed from the throne. General John H. Soper, a well-known capitalist of the Island possessions at the present time, is in Portland with a view of invest ing in Oregon lands. Passing through numerous revolu tions unscathed. General Soper is a unique figure In the history of the lit tle group of islands known as the "Paradise of the Pacific." He was marshal of the monarchy under King David Kalakaua. the last reigning potentate, later becoming chief-of-staff under President Dole, of the Pro visional Government. General Hale and Hearty. Born in 1846, General Soper is today as hale and hearty as -he was 20 years ago. He went to the Hawaiian Islands in 1S77, and has since occupied high official positions under three distinct forms of government. He was com mander of the revolutionary forces, fighting against Queen , "Lll" in 1893, resigning this post to become Presi dent Dole's chief-of-stanT. He issued the famous order through which Queen Lllluokalanl was placed under arrest Smith Wants DRESSED VEAL AND PORK We want dressed veal and pork and live chickens. We do not charge commission.

Full 3 lbs- only 60?. during the troublesome times of 1895, Just previous to the annexation of the islands by the United States. "Conditions have greatly changed since those days," said General Soper at the Oregon Hotel yesterday. "Now Honolulu is being made into one of the best fortified places on the Pacific, and I do not believe it will be long before there are between 10,000 and 15,000 United States soldiers there. Honolulu is the strategic key for the control of military activities on the Pacific, and Uncle Sam, is awakening to this fact. "At the present time there are be tween 1500 and 2000 soldiers on Oahu, the island on which Honolulu is sit uated. Battery Harlow, at the base ef the famous extinct volcano known as Diamond Head, may well be called the "Gigraltar of the Pacific," for it virtually commands the entrance to Honolulu harbor and overlooks the city Itself. There are eight 12-inch mortars at the base of ' the volcano, with tunnels Tunning to the ocean side, 750 feet above the water. Drydock, Largest in World. -Then there is the Waiklkl Battery, where guns of the coast artillery will be placed; Fort Shatter; the Marine camp; Schofield Barracks, where the Fifth Cavalry Is stationed, and the for tifications at Pearl Harbor. Dredging the channel to the latter has been contemplated, giving a passageway 400 feet wide and 36 feet deep. The dry dock, which is being constructed, will be the largest in the world. Notwith standing the military activities in the islands at the present time. I think between 10,000 and 15,000 men are needed to properly protect Hawaii in case of war." General Soper came to Portland after hearing of the wonderful opportunities to be found in the Oregon country, and he probably will make a number of investments here before leaving. He expects to return to Honolulu, where he resides, the latter part of this month. A Hint In Time. Order the Mount Hood Brewing Com pany's famous Bock Beer now; to be de livered at your home.
