MEMBERS STILL NRANGLE
THE HOUSE TO MEET AGAIN
TOMORROW.
Cheap Salary Scheme Has Opponents
Still-Committee Work During the
Interim on the Salary Rolls.

The house meets again tomorrow, af-
ter three days adjournment during
which committees have been at work
on the salaries of government officials.
Reports have been made to the finance
committee, and that committee is eX-
pected to be ready to make a full report
tomorrow to the House.
The three days adjournment has not
harmonized the various ideas of differ
ent members, and it is a question whe-
ther the work done will be accepted. 1t
is reported that at a secret caucus of
thoroughbred Home Rulers two
nights ago. it was decided that the gov
ernors estimates should be adopted
The work of the committees generally
has been to slash salaries. The finance
committee will present a report calling
for such cuts, but ii may not be con-
CURED in by all the members of the
committee. Prospects for agreement
and quick work are not much better
than they were before. The men who
don't believe in general cuts in salaries
are ready to knife the committee re-
ports if they can, and the members who
want to cut and raise according to
their feelings towards the holders of
the Offices are having their says.
The result of the three days adjourn
ment has been to transfer this wrang-
ling from the floor of the house to the
committee meetings. Some of the COM
mfttees, however, have not had all their
members present at the meeting. Some
of the Republican members have given
up in disgust. unable to accomplish any
thing and the reports that will be em-
bodied in the general report of the
finance committee Will in some cases be
the work of one or two members of a
committee, and never even seen by
other members.

today is that of Fujihara Orjemon VS..
Territory of Hawaii writ of habeas

fenced to the death penalty for murder
in the first degree. a writ of habeas

of the proceedings seventeen assign

to be regularly presented, and that was
in regard to the grand jury, it being
alleged that it was irregularly drawn,

WORKING ON TRAM CASES
GRAND JURY GETS ON NEW TACK
TODAY.
officers of Rapid Transit Company are
Summoned to Explain in Regard to
Some Rumors.

Rumor has it that the grand jury Is
very close to the trail of two members
of the House of Representatives and
that they will probably be indicted
when the jurors uet through hearing
evidence. The jury is gettinP near the
end Of its inquiries into the legislative
bribery matter.
The bribery Investigations of the
grand jury took more definite turn to-
day. Rumors have been current for
some days that the Honolulu Rapid
Transit and Land Company was the
corporation around which centered most
of the jurys efforts. This morning the
officers and directors of the company
were summoned to appear before the
jury and some of them were examined.
The Rapid Transit Company was spe
cially interested in several bills that
were before the regular session of the
legislature. These had to do with fran
ChiSe matters, and were among the
most discussed matters of the session.
One was house bill number 80, introduce
ed by Prendergast, granting a general
franchise to the Hawaiian TramwayS
Company for fifty years on very lib
eral terms. 1t was voted down several
times over, being brought up again and
egain.
Another street railway bill was house
bill number so by Mossman. 1t was
to name the time within which electric
wires of street railway companies must
be placed underground. A third bill,
introduced by Prendergast, house bill
number 80, was to allow the Tramways
company to use and maintain electric
traction in Honolulu.
Since the public statements in the
Circuit court that Thurston and others
had stated that a corporation had been
approached by Legislators with soliclc-
tations of bribes, and the summoning of
officers and directors of the Rapid
Transit Company the latter corpora
tion has been talked of as the corpora
tion in question, and the bills dealing
with matters in which it was specially
interested are thought by some to be
the ones referred to in the testimony
which the grand jury is so vigorously
following up.
Among the number of witnesses
examined today were: James b.
Castle, C. G. Ballentyne, Joseph A. Gill
man, Bruce CARTWRIGHT, ]. II. Fisher,
c. H. Atherton and Allan Dunn. The
first six named are officers of the Rapid
Transit Company.
1t was rumored outside of the jury
room that the Rapid Transit Company,
or some member of it, was accused,
either before the jury or outside of it,
of bribin" or attempting to bribe men,
bers of the lower house of the Legisla-
ture to defeat the bill granting a fifty
year franchise to the Hawaiian Tram
ways Company. 1t will be remember
ed that this bill was knocked in the
head, despite the efforts of Prender-
CAST, Mahoe and others to get it
through. In the days following this ac-
ton a sort of ''long- green halo over
the capitol seemed to impress itself on
the public eye.
There was a report yesterday that
the grand jury would probably con-
clude it's work today. In view of the
number of witnesses yet to be exam
ined, however, such seems not likely.

SENATORS PLAY WELL,
Georgetown Defeated Through Better
batting by Professionals.

Georgetown Defeated Through Better
Batting by Professionals.
Yesterdays game between the Washing
ton and Georgetown University teams was
one-sided affair, the professionals winning
out in eight innings by the score of 8 to 0.
Mckay's work for the blue and gray was
not up to the high standard set by Blewett
the day before, but nevertheless his pitch
ing was very good and only looked weak
against the great twirling of the opposing
pitchers Capt. Everett placed the three
Kansas City pitchers in the game. Lee and
Gear for three innings each and Case Pat
ten for two. But four hits were made by
Georgetown two off each Of the first named.
Lee showed conclusively that he has a
good head and can put the ball over the
plate He has an arm of iron. and yester-
Day cut loose several times, the sphere go
ing over the plate like flash. Gear took
matters easy and exerted himself only after
the blue and gray men had men on bases
but his reputation SHEEN made, and he
can rest on his laurels.
The sensation of the game was forth
coming when Case Patton stepped to the
rubber for the Senators in the seventh
inning On account of "a bad start last
season with Kansas City, the result of i'll
ness, Patten has been rated the weakest of
the tive twirlers UNDER Manager Manning
although his standing is quite high at that
But somebody has certainly gone wrong on
this young man, He has an easy. confident
swing. and the unusual ability Of left
handed pitcher Of being able to get the ball
over the plate regularly Yesterday he
started off by striking oat Mckay on three
pitched balls, repeated the performance on
nors. striking out the Side on nine pitched
balls, something very remarkable Patten
pitches what Is known ait a "cross-fire' ball.

| and 1t should prove effective against the
best of batters.
Captain Everett. not feeling in the best
condition, sent Clarke to first in his place
first time, so that the local fans
have had the chance to see every
man on the team handle the ball.
Grady showed UP unusually well for the
first time out, the young pitcher giving
him all the practice he wanted to hold their
swift curves and drops He was a little
weak on throwing to second. getting the
bali on the wrong side Of the bag: but all
things considered, the exhibition was very
favorable. At the bat Grady felt at home
once more. his beautiful rap for two bases
being of the timely order, and in addition
hit a nice one into right for one base.
Clarke was the heavy man yesterday with
the stick, getting two singles and clean
double. while Billy Clingman. batting left
handed. placed two hard singles to his
credit The team feided without a SEM
blance of an error, about the only hard
chances going to Farrell in center. and the
flies in the most clever style
Georgetown played its usual good fielding
game, but one error, tumble by Mckay,
being charged against the team. Devlin
and Apperious took his place at first.
Byrne going into right. The batting was
weak. the four hits being scattered in such
way as to prevent run getting. and this
what. But the blue and gray's show
ing against the professionals in the two
games has been most creditable and the
lack of batting is the usual result of anna
teurs going against professional pitching.
The gloomy weather kept the attendance
down into the three figures but there was
a noticeable increase in the number of
WashingtonianS who wanted to look the
new Senators over before the season
opened
Following is the score In detail.
