Grand JURY PROBING
THE PAVING CONTRACTS
Continued from First Page3

In view of the witnesses examined by
the grand jury yesterday, and theline upon
which they are pushing their inyestiga-
tons it would seem that it is their de-
sire to arrive at a clear understanding
In regard to the contracts for the pave
men; which now surrounds the City Hall.
Gespite the fact that even should they
discover corruption of the most appall
ing nature, it would be impossible for
them to indict on account of the statute
of limitations, which makes it impossible
to indict for a crime perpetrated twelve
months before the true bill is found.
From most reliable source it is learned
that it is the intention to thoroughly in
vestigate the old Street Committee
simply for the purpose of exposing to
the public in their final report all who
have been guilty of crooked work. in
case they conclude that there has been
any Operating with this idea in view.
Mr.. Bloomberg. president of the Common
Council. the man who appointed the pres
ent committee will be called in to-day
or tomorrow and questioned concerning
his reasons for leaving off certain men,
bers of the old committee. while Mr.
William NJ. Turpin, president of the
Board of Aldermen reapponted every
man who formerly served from the Board
of Aldermen who was reelected to
seat in that body at the last election
WILL NOT TALK.
1t is stated that at the time President
BloomberG left off some of the old mem
bers of the committee there was quite
a lot of dissa tifaction, resulting in a
rather warm statement from him. Just
what reasons he gave for the change
cannot be learned. Mr.. Bloomberg re-
fusing to talk concerning the matter
other than to say that he thought the
interests of the city could be better
served by new committee.
Following are the names of the old
and new Street Committees:

the we'll known musician, met with a
very serious and painful accident yes
terday while at work at the plant of
the Lee Broom g. Duster works where
he had just begun work. He was as
signed to one of the machines used
for the purpose of cleaning the broom
corn of the seeds. According TO the
account given by his father Adolph

machines nor seen them operated.
Accordingly instead of removing the
corn from it by means of a pitchfOrlS,
as is the proper way, he stopped down
and was gathering the loose straw in
his arms. when he was caught in the
machine. His neck and left arm were
severely hurt. The flesh on the arm
was lacerated terribly. No bones were
broken. Young Hoeck was taken to
his home at once and his wounds
dressed as soon as possible.

POLO PLAYERS
ARE ORGANIZED
ASSOCIATION FORMED TO PLAY
UNDER RULES DETERMINED BY
Joint COMMITTEE.

The Inter-Island Polo Association
was this morning formed as a result of
the tournament The players and mem
bers of the various teams met in the
directors room of Dillingham; IL Com
pany and appointed officers and COM
mittees to carry out the plan of the
Association. .,e.
S. +. Damon was made temporary
chairman and the sense of the meeting
as to the formation of a Polo Associa-
ton made an affirmative motion. Those
present were c. N. Prouty, DR.. Irwin,
Ted Guard, Charlie and Arthur Rice,
Frank and Harry Baldwin, w. o. Aiken
Wilbur, Weller, Dillingham;, Dole Da-
mon, Single, Dickey and Fleming.
Louis Won Tempsky, the oldest play
er in the islands, and one of the most
enthusiastic, was unanimously elected
president of the Association, and r. w.
Single secretary and treasurer. A
committee, to consist of one member
from every club, selected by their re-
spctiVe organizations, with the preSi-
dent and secretary, members eX-officio,
was further appointed as executive TO
carry out the arrangements of all
tournaments. A local committee on
drafting bylaws, consisting of c. S.
Dole and A. f. Judd with authority to
choose third was appointed to pri-
and rules which will be sent to Harry
Baldwin, Arthur Rice and c. n. Ri GU
ty of the visiting clubs for the approval
or suggestion of their organizations.
The present time was voted insult
able for tournament purposes and some
date nearer July will be sattiel upon.

be altered to suit local conditions. u
is possible that Hawaii may be the
/ a 20 n -fNv19 If Nnl
/ which the crack players of America
| call The best, u wit, an, admiXture Of
the English and American game. This
Will allow of the hooking Of mallets, a
feature which makes the play certain

which it is hoped, VIII play Hawaii
plays the English game altogether both
hooking of mallets and off side riding.
The tournaments will be played in all
probability in Honolulu in view of the
perfect grounds laid out by Mr.. Da-
mon, and on which he has already
| spent several thousand dollars.
All the men expect to leave tomor-
row. Maui go home resolved to WIN

with their initial showing. They will

Hawaii though the consolation win

manlike spirit and return likewise.
They will be active in the association

other tale.
Arrangements were concluded finally
to abide by the rules of the American
polo association to all intents and pur-
poses and to play the American game
OF polo, making exceptions in case of
any visiting team. The tournament is
annually set for the fourth Tuesday in

THE PRINCEssEs MEET.

The Princess of the East met the
Princess of the West last night. Those
who were present-will long remember
the meeting. There was much to make
it memorable. Although the two wo-
men We're Hawaiians, they did not open
their meeting with prayer They
were charged with being profane. Ke-
liiokahikina was the name of one of the
defendants, and Kamopuna was the
other. Judge Wilcox translated their
names as the defendants were arraign-
ed today. The translation of the first
defendant was the Princess of the
East while that of Kamopuna was
the Beautiful Puma" The two women
had INDUCED in a scolding match with
another native woman. The court re-
primanded the defendants and dis
charged them.

THEY PLAYED POKER.

The Japanese men and one japanese
woman were before Judge Wilcox this
morning to answer to the charge of
having been present at a place where
gambling, to wit poker, was being con-
Quoted. S. F. Chillingworth appeared
for the defendants and the case was
continued until tomorrow. 1t is not
improbable that the question as to
whether poker is really a gambling
game and not a real scientific COM
petition, may be raised during the trial
of the defendants. The courts of Cali
fornia have held that poker is a game
of skill. The prosecution may contend
that the japanese have not mastered
the game sufficiently to make 1t game
of skill.
