CHILL1NGwoRTH BETTER.
His Sickness the Result of Ions
Period of Overwork.

Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth was re-
ported somewhat better last night It
will be some time before he can leave
his bed, however. as he is suffering with
an attack of the grip and was threat
ened for time with an attack of pneu-
monia.
Chillingworth's sickness is the result
of a long period of overwork He has
successfully discharged the duties of
deputy sheriff, coroner and prosecuting
attorney for some time past He has
worked both night and day and has
sacrificed the hours when he should
have been at rest to hard work. In any
other city two or three men would do
the work that Chillingworth has been
expected to do. When there was a raid
to be made, Chillingworth would lead
it. When there was detective work to
be done, Chillingworth would do it; he
is In fact the only detective in this city
to look after all such matters.
Chillingworth is a deservedly popular
man and a most energetic and compe-
tent officer How the department will
manage without him while he is sick is
a problem.

Says that Legislature Must Refrain

Delegate Wilcox has written to one of

bills of interest to Hawaii had yet come

would in the near future. He also stat
ed that the Senator'S and Representa-

to their best interests to refrain from
too radical action in matters pertaining
to the Government of the Territory of
Hawaii
Mr. Wilcox had not at the time of
writing received the names of the two
boys selected to take the examination
for West Point, but as soon as ne does
will communicate with the head of the

cause it costs about
one-tenth as much TO

Gourock, July 27.-Shamrock H., ac-
companied by Tie Erin, sailed at 1920
a. m. for New York. Great enthuusi-
asm was displayed ca the challenger
departed.
Capt. Sycamore desired to go out
under canvas, and he was favored
with light oasterly wind, sufficient
to keep the flags streaming in the di-
rection the yachts had to sail. The
challenger cut a strange figure with
her stunted spars and scanty canvas
as she lay ready to start.
At ten o'clock Sir Thomas Upton
and Mr.. Watson, the yachts designer,
boarded her, and few minutes later
the challenger's moorings were
slipped, her headsails broken out, and
Shamrock III. started on her voyage
across the Atlantic. Thousands of
persons gathered along the shore and

the yachts departure with a great
outburst of cheering, again and again
renewed. Hats and handkerchiefs
were waved. guns roared and steam
whistles ana sirens shrieked. The
Shamrock's crew were all mustered on
deck and, led Icy Sir Thomas, gave n
hearty response TO the greetings. For
miles along the shore crowds occupied
every vantage point, and the cheers
passed from group to group until the
challenger, with her racing flag at the
masthead, and the Erin, with the
Stars and Stripes flying at her fore,
disappeared from sight.
Sir Thomas Upton remained
aboard the challenger until she was
of Cumbracs, when he returned on
a tug. Before leaving he addressed
the challenger's crew, thanking them
for what they had done already, and
wishing them godspeed on the voy-
age and a successful finish to their
task
