Claim to Have Been Ignored

A call will be issued by the Hawaii
Yacht Club secretary, z. Weaver Jr,
for a general meeting of all members
on Friday afternoon next at his office.
Special endeaVor is urged for attend
dance as matters of Importance are to
be taken up.
The yacht club officials are distinc-l -ly
aggrieved over the sighting of the or
ganization by the regatta committee
appointed by the boat clubs for the re-
gatta on September 20. 1t is claimed
that the yacht club has beeen pointedly
ignored that the boat club committee
contains three members who control the
regatta with its prizes. its events,
judges and starters and that one of the
triumVirate is a member of a now de-
funct organization of the yachtsmen
is left out, nor has it been approached
with regard to the regatta as to events
or possible prizes.
The regatta would, it is claimed be
but a sorry spectacle without the
yachts to enliven the ,harbor front and
the. harbor. The yacht club too has
been planning some new features of
yachting exhibitions and aquatic sports
which will be carried out in the harbor
while the course would have been
changed to make the racing more pro-
minent to the spectators.
The leading members of the yacht
club, who are number Of them, heads
of business houses which have sub

VENTRILOQUIsT IN COURT.

There was a ventriloquist in Judge
Gears court this morning, and he gave
an impromptu entertainment that was
much appreciated by everyone present
but Attorney Brooks. The ventriloquist
is one of the 33 prisoners whose cases
Gear is wrestling with, and as he sat
in the prisoners dock he produced
sounds that seemed to come from the
grass plot near the Kahemahema sta"
tue. 1t appeared that someone had a
phonograph outside the building and
was working it. Brooks rose from his
seat and hurried to the win1)w. The
noise kept on, but no one outside SEEM
ed to be making it. Other attorneys
who understood the propO s;tion finally
came to the rescue of Brooks ana the
puzzle was explained

WILL SAIL TOMORROW.
The German bark Gerda will sail to-
morrow in ballast for Humbildt.

scribed literally in former years to the
regatta, Will glance askance at the
subscription list this year if they are
not given the representation they want
The rowing men, many of whom do not
know a spinnaker from a bobstay and
it is claimed that starters and officials
who may be fully competent to deal
with Oarsmen, would not be competent
as judges in a yacht race.
1t is however the ignoring of the
yachtsmen on the committee and the
putting on of a member of a defunct
club that sticks in the craw of the
sailors. The yacht club has many
wealthy members and is on an excep-
tionally good financial basis and most
of them are liberal subscribers to all
aquatic events. The feeling is quite
deep this year and some of the mem
bers have refused point blank to sub
scribe anything when the time comes
as we'll as threaten to withdraw from
the rowing clubs due lists unless they
are considered properly in the regatta
matter.
At the meeting of the yachtsmen on
Friday the grievance will be aired and
at the same time the new program of
novelties for the regatta submitted TO
the members for comment, approval or
suggestion. Immediately after the re-
gatta, a cruise, long contemplated, to
Kahana Bay, on the other side of the
island will be taken.

GEAR MAY CALL JURY
GOOD MEN AND TRUE SERVE
WITHOUT PAY.
If Court Decides In Affirmative There
VIII Be Rush Among the Lawyers
To Postpone Their Cases.

Judge Gear may decide to call an
other jury for the present term of
court and insist that the jurors serve
whether they are paid or not. He did
not give the expected decision this
morning, on the motion of Deputy At
torney General Cathcart, to continue
thirty three cases to the November
term. The matter went over to next
Tuesday, Monday being a holiday.
The question of the power of the
court to summon another jury under
the circumstances is a very important
one" said the judge. "The court has
looked into the matter but is not yet
ready to render a decision. Under the
law the jurors are entitled to their fees
every day. Thre is no question about
that. The question of the power of the
court to compel them to serve when
there is no pay, is another matter, on
which the court will pass next Tues
day."
If the court should decide to call a
jury and force the jurors to serve,
there will be a lot of sudden change of
front among the lawyers. The press
ing demands for immediate trials will
disappear. and motions for continu-
ances will come from the other side,
while the Attorney General will be
found vigorously demanding that the
cases be taken up without delay, in
stead of talking for Conunuances as
now.

SHIPS oFFICERs UNITE

over forty seafaring men, all licensed
officers of the merchant marine, met
recently at San Francisco and took
the first steps toward the per-
manent organization of an asso-
citation of masters and mates
of sailing vessels, for their own COM
mon benefit and for the betterment
generally of those engaged in the sail
ing ship trade.
One item of the conditions in which
the members of the organization hold
there is room for their betterment is on
the matter of pay of sailing ship officers
1t is shown, for example, that masters
and chief mates of sailing ships get but
$15 to $l25 a month, while the same
officers on steamers get from 1925 TO
$500 month, in spite of the fact that
sailing ship officers must know all that
steamer officers must know in naviga-
ton, and much more than they need
know in seamanship.

Illicit Still In The Valley

The best still" that has yet been
found here by the internal revenue Of
ficers, and the strongest liquor yet
seized, was found yesterday afternoon
in a raid by Collector Chamberlain and
Deputies Drake and Couzens. Some of
the okolehao on test this morning show
ed up 100 proof, at a temperature of 81
degrees, which means 120 proof at the
standard temperature for tests This
Is by a good deal the strongest liquor
the officers have run up against yet.
1t smells like vinegar and tastes like
liquid fire.
Tom Fong was the man in apparent
possession of the still when the officers
went to visit it, and he was arrested
and will be held to await the action of
the federal grand jury next October.

Judging from the following letter
received by a friend of 7. Daniel Fraw-
ley, VINO, by the way, has now dropped
the "T' from the play bills, gives good
assurance Of secret Service" being
presented here. Mr.. Frawley writes
that ne is pulling all the wires to get
the steaL.er to stay over long enough
for the performance and that there Is
every PROBABILITY of it so doing. The
letter, which came on the Alameda,
goes ON to say:
IL am senuing a line by the Alameda

est all-around company it has ever been
my gOOu fortune to be associated with.
I'VE are pulling every wire here to

reasonably sure. In secret Service

vantage, and l need not tell you it is
the greatest play of modern times.

Frawley has gathered around him in
the present company four ladies who
are said to be the "pretiest galaxy
ever gathered together in one COM
pany," a circumstance the more re-
markable from the fact that besides be-
ing handsome women they are all ac-
credited first class actresses. A recent
performance of Secret Service" at the
Grand Opera House in San Francisco
is criticised in glowing terms by the
press. An extract runs as under:
T. Daniel Frawley should be proud
of the hattering reception given him
