Counsel for the Great Northern Railway company have served notice that it will test the employers' liability law. It is contended that the act is unconstitutional in that it holds a railway company responsible for he acts of its offi cers whether or not they are in relation to interstate commerce. The test case will be made of an action of Jyntaro Temura, a Japanese laborer, who was awarded judgment for $1,350 in suit for $1,900. Temura and other laborers were unloading rails from a car. His fellow workers let go of the rail without warning him and his thumbs were cut off when the rail struck the pile. The company was represented at the hearing and asked the court to direct a verdict in its favor on the ground that the injured man was not engaged In interstate commerce, and that the act of congress of 190S Is unconstitutional. Judge William E. Huneke overruled the motion, saying the question would have to be taken before the supreme court for a ruling on the, constitutionality of the act, which makes a railway company liable for injuries to an employe, regardless of the decisions of court and statutes relating to fellow servants.

WATER LOVING PEOPLE ARE ITS FREQUENTERS
Surf Riding Is One of the Most Exhilarating Sports in the World R. G. Leeds Tells of Hawaii. . . . Honolulu, April 5. Waikiki beach. the play ground ot Honolulu, extends far over a mile along the sea front and lies between the city proper and Diamond Head. Here it is that the water loving Inhabitants of the city come for recreation and sport. Sun day is the big day along the beach and then you see numbers of people swimming about in the delightful water of the Pacific and frolicking over its surf in outrigger canoes or on surf boards. It has always been so far, long before the coming of the white man to these shores, Waikiki was the rendezvous of those natives and chiefs of the Island of Oahu, who loved to indulge in the great national sport of Hawaii, surf-riding. Surf riding is one of the most exhilarating sports I have ever indulged in. I was Introduced to it several days ago and the experience is one I shall never forget and which I shall repeat as. often as possible. My surfriding experience was in one of the large, native outrigger canoes. A crew of husky Kanakas-natives paddled the queer craft out to about a quarter of a mile off shore, where the big breakers gather strength and size before their last rush and final disintegration on the beach. Once out there the canoe was headed towards the beach, the crew paddling only enough to keep her on her "course, while the helmsman anxiously scanned the sea astern for a wave large enough for his purpose. The wait was long and the helmsman tried to induce the much longed for wave to come by tossingwater astern" with his paddle, an old' Hawaiian custom. And this seemed to do the work, too. for very shortly a hugh wave appeared rushing towards us as though bent on our destruction. To the sharp, in sistent urging of the helmsman's "hoi! hoi!" the crew responded with fast, well timed paddle strokes that sent our craft towards shore at a quick rate. The faster moving waves, however, quickly overhouled us, lifting our ca noe stern first high ou its crest. For a fraction of a second our canoe seemed to falter in its progress and then with a rush it continued saorewards on the great wave, its sharp bow buried deeply in the water at the foot of the wave, sending a sheet of spray stingingly over us. and .directly astern the wave weliea after us in a perfect wall of water whose men acing top or crest was flecked by a wide ribbon of rolling, tumbling foam. Not a paddle was used, with the exception of the helmsman's steering paddle, in that wild ride shorewards. Wave motion alone was sufficient to propel our canoe towards the beach at a velocity of from twenty-five to twenty-eight miles an hour. ' It seemed as though scarcely a minute elapsed from the time of starting: until, with the beach a scant two rods away, our helmsman, by a dextrous move of his paddle, freed the canoe from its driving wave motor and headed us out to sea again. , Then all hands seized paddles once more and with deep, long strokes, urged the craft to her former position off shore, there to await another favorable wave on. which to repeat the fascinating ride. While on the way out again I noticed the surf-board . riders coming through the surf at lightning speed, some lying at full length on their speeding boards, others, more expert and more daring, standing up. The average surf board is six or seven feet long, a foot and a half wide and an inch and a half thick. It is cut square at the stern and rounds away to a point at the bow. The riders handle these cueer craft much as we of colder climes handle sleds, when the winter's snow makes good going on some IBB
hill. They lie on the boards at full length and propel them by paddling with their arms. The surf board riders generally wait for the right kind of waves in the same location from
which we started in the canoe. While waiting for a wave they remain alongside their boards In the water. When a wave comes along that suits them they throw themselvt s on the boards and paddle with all their might in the same direction the wave is traveling, beachwards. The wave overtakes the boards and carries them along at enormous speed. Then you will see the more daring ones draw themselves slowly and carefully to their knees and then stand erect, balancing themselves deftly on the rushing: little craft. Such riders must reeds be expert swimmers and ecual to any emergen cy, for cuite often a rider loses his balance and plumps unceremoniously in the water and the wave he had been riding rolls far away with his board. I saw just such an occurance, the rider being "un-boarded through loss of balance and the surf board bounding on full two hundred yards farther before breaking loose from its driving wave. From the shore these sports are watched by appreciative cottagers, for Waikiki beach is not only Honolulu's play ground but is also, in a way, its summer resort, as a number of Hono lulu people who have beautiful homes In the city also have cozy, little cotta ges along the beach, enscounced in luxuriant groves of gracefully waving palms and cocoanut trees. Here they spend ideal week ends, either at frolic in the surf or resting contentedly and lazily in their beautiful and cool lanais, or verandahs. Some, in fact, live in this enchanting retreat the year round, as it is but twenty minutes by trolley car to the heart of the city, he hotel where we are staying, the Moana, happily for us is located on Waikiki beach and we never tire of our paradise-like surroundings.

HUIIT FOR BURIED GOLD SCARES COPS Negroes Who Believe in Dreams Burrow for Bullion in Cellar. THEY WORK IN THE NIGHT SOUND OF THE IMPLEMENTS REACHES EARS OF A NEIGHBOR AND HE TELLS THE POLICE OF GRAVE DIGGERS. Boston, Mass., May 15. Four police officers of Station . No. 5 delved to the bottom of a supposed murder mystery in the cellar of the house at No. 3 Wentworth place, South End. a few nights ago. Picks and shovels were employed and blisters were raised, but the bodies of the victims failed to materialize. Instead the officers learned that dreams of buried, treasure had so worked upon the minds of occupants of the house that they had burrowed for gold ingots, silver bricks and chests filled with bullion. Nocturnal hours had been employed in the quest 6o it was small wonder that other parties living in the house who discovered the "grave diggers' notified the police and brought on the fiasco. Believe in Dreams. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Pratt, who live at No. 3 Wentworth place, apparently believe in dreams, say the police. They are negroes and when Mrs. Pratt recently dreamed three nights running that there was treasure buried in the cellar of their abiding place Mr. Pratt decided to Investigate. The couple called in tbe Rer. Mr. Gordon. of the negro Baptist church in order that he might participate in the good things which were to accrue. The little party went to work in the, cellar and dug a trench ten feet long; four feet wide and eight feet deep. While they were at work the sound of the implements reached the ears of George Walker, who also Uvea in the house. Walker went to the cellar, moving stealthily, and saw the trench and the workers without their noting his appearance. Visions of a foul murder entered his mind, and he informed the police.
