have held office for another term of
two years. AS it is, there is no doubt
about their removal in any event,
so that all there is to fight for
in court now, Is change of draw
ing salary for about three months. The
legal contest that was so important
has therefore dwindled to a small item
and an interesting point of law.
For the authorship applications are
on file from Col. j. II. Fisher and ]. NJ.
Riggs. Deputy Auditor Meyers is also
mentioned as a possible choice.
The matter of choosing officers of the
House and Senate is already being dis
cussed. Applications are in for the po-
sitions of Secretary of the Senate and
Clerk of the House.
For President of the Senate Clarence
Crabbe is talked of, and he can have
the position If he wishes It, He was in
the last Senate, and is the most likely
to be president of this one.
For Speaker of the House no candi-
date has come to the front as yet
There are twenty Republicans to
choose from and no one of them has as
yet made a fight for the place.
The Republican Central Committee
held meeting last night at which can
didates for various positions were dis
cussed. Applications were received
from men who are anxious to have

will probably be an Hawaiian a
majority of the members being natives,
while it is thought that a white man
will probably be chosen by the Senate.
change in the Attorney Generalship
is also possibility. There are members
of the new legislature and of the Re-
publican committees who are after the
scalp of Attorney General e. p. Dole
and it may be that he will have to va
cate. 1t is reported that all is not har-
mony between the Attorney General
and the Governor at the present time
| owing to differences of opinion, and
| that E. p. Dole may not be fought for
very hard by the Governor. w. O
Smith has been spoken of as a probable
choice.

WILL MEET ON
GRID-IRON
FIRST FOOTBALL GAME OF SEA-
SON PROMISES A HARD FOUGHT
BATTLE-LINE UP AND WEIGHT.

There will be a big turn out tomorrow |
afternoon at Punahou when the first |
football game of the season Will be |
played between lines of interested par
tisans. Colors will be freely displayed
and there will be energetic roofing by
the fair sex as well as manly admirers
as long as the players are recognizable.
The game is to start at three thirty
sharp. The Punahous have the best of
weight but not to as great an extent as
is usually supposed. There is only
thirty nine pounds difference between
the two elevens, stripped, the average
of the Males being 159 ell to 1853 Ill of
the collegians an individual difference
of 8 ell pounds. The totals are 1853
and 1894. Both teams will be a little
awkward at the offset. Even constant
practice at plays counts for little until
there are opponents to work against.
Punahou should win. Waterhouse at
right tackle has always been able to
get away with w. Wright opposite.
Fuller at right guard ought to have the
better of Robertson at left and this
wing of the game will probably tell the
story. w. Walker and Jaul Jarret will
be pretty closely matched. d Chiffon
and Robinson are neither of them ag-
gressive players being known as the
gentlemen centers.'' The rest of the
line ups are pretty closely balanced.
The weights as shown under are
stripped weights averaging nine pounds
less than the boys would tip the scales
with ordinary clothes on. The full line
up with weights is as follows. The
Punahous have many substitutes the
| Males had to scratch to get a team

LAST LEGISLATURE
OUT OF OFFICE
QUESTION RAISED AS TO WHEN
THE TERMS OF SENATORS AND
REPRESENTATIVES. EMPIRE.

Extra session talk today brought up
discussion as to when the terms of the
members of the last Legislature expire.
Many thought that the Senators and
representatives of two years ago were
still in Office and held Office until the
date for the next regular session. I'm
der the call for an extra session it is
not at all unlikely that some of the old
members of the senate may try to claim
that they are still in office.
The organic act is definite in it's
statements as to how long the terms Of
representatives shall be giving it as
from the time of election until the
next general election" In the case Of
senators the act says that they will
hold office for four years, a special act
having since been passed by Congress
to name those who are TO hold office for
two years only, in order to bring about
the contemplated system under which
half are chosen at each election. The
terms of two years 1t is claimed, eX-
pired on election day, the term having
begun Immediately after the last cleo
ton.
Next weeks steamers to the other
islands will probably carry the commits

GETS
HIS JACKET
WILL SHARE WITH POTTER AT
NUMBER TWO ON OAHU POLO
TEAM.

An important change in the polo
team is scheduled for tomorrow in the
practice game. While the crowd will
undoubtedly turn out to the first foot
ball game of the season some impor-
tant work will be done at Kapiolani
Park in view of the approaching tour
nament.
The new ground has been laid out
and will be played on for the first time
so as to get the men familiarized with
the ground as much as possible. The
only objection to the new way of set
ting the field, aside from it's many ad-
vantages. is that there is a gentle slope
from mauka to makai, and one team
will have the sun in their eyes for the
short time before it sinks behind the
grand stand and the trees of Kapiolani
Park in the afternoon. q. H. - ;
The change in the personnel of the
team Will come at No. 2. 1t has been
an open secret among those familiar
with the game that Single has been
playing a far better game at No. 2
than Potter, originally selected. He has
also given more attention to practice
and training.
S. E. Damon, who has been coaching
the game of late, those who have at
tended the practice games as referees,
substitutes or spectators, have urged
| the change. 1t was a hard matter for
3
judge accurately, but on the strength
of last Saturdays play by Shingle,
Captain Dillingham; gave him a hard
| try out yesterday afternoon. Shingle
! showed up strongly in direction and
| clean back hitting, both off and nigh
! sides. His plays to center, the chief
! essential perhaps of a number two,
were found accurate.
Tomorrow afternoon he will play with
Judd at one, Fleming at three and r.
/ w. Atkinson a four, and will give the
cracks all they can do to win out. 1t
| is now practically certain that Single
will get his jacket, although Potter
may split honors with him in the Hilo
game and play one or two quarters.
while Shingle plays the rest.
! Teams tomorrow will see Harold Cas-
tie, George Potter, w. F. Dillingham;
and c. S. Dole arrayed at l, 2, 3 and 4,
against Shingles team as given above.
/ This gives Judd and Dole excellent
/ practice against each other. DR.. Nc
Adory, Rev. j. p. Erdman and George
Potter will substitute.
Architect c. w. Dickey has Laid out
the field for tournament week with the
makai goal close to the grand stand,
and the mauka goal where the scora
board now stands. On either side the
! carriages will be lined up according to
ticket anu number A breast high line
will run back of the side lines for seat
ed spectators chairs being provided by
a caterer at 10 cents. In the center on
! each side a space will be reserved for

WILCOX ACCUSED
liz BY HIS PARTY
CHARGED THAT BRINGING IN HIS
LEPER BILL AT THE BEHBST OF
LOUISIANA SUGAR GROWERS.

From a source close to Delegate Will
COX comes a story of a charge brought
against him in Home Rule circles, in
connection with the defeat of the party.
The leper issue is regarded as largely
the cause of the crushing defeat of the
party, by Home Rulers, and they are
disposed to blame Wilcox for having
brought it up. The story goes that one
of his party men accused the delegate
of having brought the matter up at the
instance of some Louisiana people who
wanted to hurt HaWaii's sugar indus
try.
Wilcox was asked by the Louisiana
men," said the author of this latest
Home Rule story, ito cause Hawaii to
be made a national lazaretta. They
figured that such a proceeding would
greatly injure Hawaii's sugar industry,
to their own advantage, and that it
would also enable them to get rid of
their own lepers."
All is not harmony in the ranks of
those who fought as Home Rulers this
time, since the returns began to come
in. There are accusations and counter
accusations being made as to who was
responsible for the defeat.
