STUDENTS UP AGAINST lT.
To Agree on Plan to Elect Intercol-
leuiate Debaters

The important controversy between
candidates of the university literary
societiesfor the intercollegiate debate
as to what method shall be employed
in selecting such deDaters, has not
been settled. On the contrary, it is
waging more fierCely than ever The
following men are the candidates of
the societies:-A. l.. Gesell of
Athenae, w. j. Hagenah of Hesperia
Crawford Of Olympia, S. w. Richard
son of Forum, and Harry w. Adams
of Columbia, who has recently re
signed because of this difficulty. 1t
is rumored that the resignation of at
least one more man will be handed
in before many days.
The former system of selecting
Intercollegiate debaters was very
faulty. 1t was too political a system
to give satisfactory results. Recent
ly, a competitive system was adopted
by some of the societies but that does
not prove very satisfactory because it
takes too much time and work to pre-
pare a preliminary debate among the
six candidates TO choose the best
three Therefore, a deadlock exists
between the societies and nothing
can be done. Michigan has already
challenged us and Professor Franken-
burger will step in and decide the
method of selecting the debaters
sometime this week, if the deadlock
is not broken.
AS the societies now stand on this
question, Hesperia and Olympia do
not favor the competitive system.
Philomathia never adopted it, Forum
and Athenae will not give it up and
Columbia Is undecided.
All sorts of different substitutes for
the present system have been pro
posed. Some wish general meeting
of all the literary societies and have
the debaters elected by ballot in that
meeting. A few wish to have three
societies elect the team one year and
the other three societies elect the
team the next year. A system, which
was proposed a few years ago, has
some adherents. Under it, the selec-
ton is made by debating council
composed of four representatives
from each society. Each member of
the council is chosen by ballot at the
third regular meeting in the first
semester Of each year and has one
vote. Professor Frankenburger is the
chairman of the council and it's other
officers are secretary and treasurer.
The chairman has power to dissolve
the body and call a new election, if
he considers it expedient, and also has
a casting vote.

thence sailed around the Horn. There
was no San Francisco then, so their
ship headed for the mouth of the
Columbia river, where they arrived in
June, 1910. Mr.. Abernethy, we'll

Oregon.
A cup of coffee can be used as a
barometer. If one or two Jumps OF
sugar be dropped carefully into the
coffee and if the air-bubbles that rise
rush suddenly from the center to the
side of the cup rain may be looked
for during the day. If the bubbles
gather in the center and then pass to
the side slowly there will probably be
light showers. But if the bubbles
rise to the center and stay there the
day will be fine 1t is supposed to be
due to the relative weight and, there
fore, moisture of the atmosphere.
The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius,
built in 1883 by the Cramps when
William C. whitney was secretary of
the navy, will be transformed into
dispatch boat. Much was expected OF
the pneumatic guns of the boat in the
Spanish war. They were fired in the
bombardment of Santiago, Accuracy
was found impossible, however par
ticularly as the cruiser is unarmored
and the smallest shell would have
penetrated with disabling results.
For the original purpose for which
she was built the Vesivius has proved
a complete failure. She went over %
knots on her trial trip, and will doubt
less be most convenient for dispatch
boat work.

JOHN K. SUMNER
HOME FROM TAHITI
Saws That Steamer Service Will
Be Established to
Honolulu.

John K. Summer, the Hawaiian pa
triarch, who married a Tahitian prin-
cess. returned last week on the Sierra
nv wav of San Francisco from Tahiti.
Despite his eighty-seven years Mr..
Sumner is looking hale and hearty and
carries his age like a man twenty
years his junior
Sumner is the defendant in suit
brought by the Oahu Railway aud Land
Co. to compel him to allow the exercise
of an option given number of years
ago for the purchase of certain lands
near the Honolulu harbor for 100000
He has put all his property in the Ha-
waiian Islands in trust for certain pur-
poses with the Bishop of Panapolis and
the latter is also a defendant in the
suit
Mr.. Sumner was seen yesterday at
the home of his niece, Mrs. Buffandee,
at Beretania and Alexander streets.
He said that times were not very good
in Tahiti though there was as usual
much success in pearl hunting on the
neighboring islands. He has returned
to fight the suit for possession of the
Sumner lands in and about the harbor.
Mr. Sumner made the trip from Ia
hiti to san Francisco on the Mar1posa
on her oil experimenting voyage, and
reports that the results were hlghly
successful. Not only was the saving In
fuel considerable but the force needed
to work the engine rooms could De
much smaller Where twenty-six men
had been utilized by the Mariposa In
burning coal but half a dozen were
required to take care of the oil burners
THE Oceanic Company is planning TO
make a change in the Tahiti schedule,
said Mr.. Sumner, land in the near
future the Mariposa may be put on
run from San Francisco to Tahiti, then
to Honolulu and from here back 10
San Francisco. AT present Tahltl mas
a monthly steamer service and 1t seems
pretty long between mails, though II Is
much better than with the old salHhs
vessels Now it requires twelve days
to go to San Francisco from Iahlu'
and then it took me six more days 10
reach here while if the Mariposa had
been running on the proposed schedule
it would have taken me six or seven
davs instead of eighteen. The Oceanic
people have an idea that the new route
would pay better than the old present
schedule as people could take in ootn
Hawaii and Tahiti on a pleasure trip
believe this new scheme is now IN
Spreckels' hands and it may be pushed
through"

ten about more perhaps than any other ruin.
 Upon the recommendation of Mir. Hclsinger the government appropriated $20,000 for erecting a suitable covering for the Casa Grande ruin and for the maintainance of a keeper. Since this was done the keeper. in his personal explorations e the place and it's inn mediate vicinity has gathered together and is carefully arranging and pre- serving . very valuable collection Of curios, some of which are novel and entirely different from the usual sup ply of arroW-heads, stone axes and pottery found in nearly all the old ruins. Just what these things are the writer iS net Informed, though the fact stated is on good authority. It is set tied now that Casa Grande will be pre- served, and the step was not taken q minute too sOCn for the ruin was fast giving way to the elements in many places and the work of the vandal was greatly in evidence.
 There are many other valuable ruins in the southwest which should be given like attention. and one If them is tle big ruin between this city and Tempe. It is probably the largest one in this part of the country and what little work has been done upon it by the Arizona Antiquarian association. in whom the title rests, has given prom ise that archaeological treasures might be unearthed with the expenditure or sufficient money. The association has not the means to prosecute this work , and it is more than likely that if the government would take charge of the ruin. protect it. eXcavate it and leave the findings in museum in the charge of a keeper the association would not | only relinquish it's title but aid in the. work.

A MODUS VIvENDI
A Temporary Arrangement in the
 Indian Ditch Case.

The case of the United States against N. w. HaGEard and others was dis posed of in the district court yester- day fer the present. That is. all the proof was put in and the court an- nOUECed that final decision would not be rendered until next fall. There was {, conference among the parties tC tue dispute and an arrangement was reached fer a division of the water during the summer. It is as follows; Beginning with July and continuing Crtn July 10 the Lecr canal 1ray di- vert all the water at it's head. The time Cf beginning and ending is the sunrise of each day. During this time the Peninsula canal shall divert no water at all. It may begin though on July 10 and have all the water at it's head until July 15. and within this time the Leon shall divert no water. But during this whole period the Lambeye canal will be allowed to divert all the water that comes to it's head. From July 1 to July h the Meridian canal shall divert no water. but from July 15 to July 11 it may have all the water that comes to it's head. And so on il may have water two days out of ten and all the ether canals mentioned shall have water in the order and for the times described. But the Indian canal in behalf of whose owners the government appears may at ali times divert all the water that come; to it's head.
 This order is to be in lieu of the tenn porary injunction which had been hitherto granted. In the course of this trial. which has been a -lc1g and thorough one. many interesting points have come up which it is thought will affect other water litigation now pending in the county. When the court convenes again in Sep tember the arguments in the case will be heard. when final order will be made. This temporary arrangement is said to be satisfactory to all parties.
