PLAY POLO
TODAY AT
THE PARK

Consolation Day is the title that has
been given to the Thanksgiving~0f the
Polo men. The game at Kaps0iani Park
this afternoon will be-afie between the
losers of the games Of Tuesday. and
while there~was much to be wished IN
those first contests in the way of skill
sand speed at certain points, the ex-
perience against fast teams will have
perceptible effect upon the players and
should make the game we'll worth see
ing. The game will commence at $3.50
O'Clock or near that time, for the play
may be somewhat delayed on account
of the people coming out from the foot
ball game at Punahou. The game is
one which does not demand attention
at the very beginning, but the watcher
may pick uD its points at any place
during the play and carry it on we'll
The Kauai team is believed to have
fair chance for the game on account
of the superior quality of it's animals,
but the playing of the Hawaii folk will
be better than that Of Tuesday, for they
will be given heart by the fact that
they will have a chance to win, whereas
they knew they would be without any
such chance on Tuesday against the
Oahu club, but went in anyhow, just to
show their sportsmanlike quality, which
was proved of the first rank. The Ha-
waii men are better at the work of car
iY1er fny n rid I1.I
the horsemanship of the Kauaians can
be little improved upon by any set of
men in the Territory.
There is talk of another game than
those of the schedule This is called for
under the claim of Kauai that Oahu
gave a guarantee that they would ac-
eommodate any team that failed to
meet them during the tournament, The
Kauai men have not formally challeng-
ed but it is in the air that they would
like a contest. If it is arranged it will
come off on Monday afternoon and the
cali of play probably will be early in
the day, SO that the young men may
have plenty of chance to prepare for
the festival in closing of the tourna-
ment.
Should the game of this afternoon be
prevented by rains it will be played off
tomorrow, or even then being delayed,
will be placed before the principal
game, which is to be played on Satur
day. This is to be avoided if possible.
The officials of the game have arranged
that the telephone company will notify
inquirers after noon, if the game will
be delayed or not on account of the
rains.
The two teams will face each other
thus, this afternoon:

WAS BRISK
YESTERDAY

Merchants Of Honolulu looked happy
yesterday as they gazed over their es-
adjustments and watched the throngs
of purchasers lug away big parcels of
Thanksgiving dinner ingredients. 1t
was certainly typical marketing day
and judging by the way the storekeep-
ers were kept busy from morning until
night Honolulans seem to have much
to be thankful for.
Meat markets, grocery stores, and
even dry goods stores were invaded by
the purse holders and they departed
with turkeys and chickens, dressed and
undressed, roasts, dressings, sucking
pickles and the dozen and one appetiz-
ing ingredients which go to make up
a real good old fashioned Thanksgiving
dinner
There was just a tinge of cold air
in the atmosphere to remind those who
ate their last years dinner on the
mainland with the snow falling all
around that there was no need to get
homesick in Hawaii this year. There
Were busy scenes down town and
towards evening there was rush at
the meat markets and grocery stores.
The hotels win today serve Thanks
giving dinners and the preparations
nave gone to the extent that everything
will be done to remind the diners of
the old folks way back home. 1t is
essentially a day when the younger
generation will sit about the table of
the old folks and there viii be family
reunions all over the city.
Manager Mcintyre of May & Co.
said that the Thanksgiving trade was
better than usual. I'VE have been busy
for about ten days with Thanksgiving
orders. We filled large orders for the
other islands last week and on this
weeks outgoing steamers the orders
were very large. Locally, there has
been a stream of people in and out of
the store since Monday and today there
is a crush. Cranberries and mince
meat have been sold by the barrelsful."
At Lewis & Co., Metropolitan Meat
Market, Camarinos, New England Bak-
cry, Hart & Co., together with smaller
stores, similar expressions of rushing
business We're given.

FOUR POLICEMEN
BARRED THE WAY
Now These May Also be Cited
for Contempt Of
Court.

Auditor fl G. Austin made another
Intellectual attempt to gain possession
Of his Office and books yesterday.
Armed with the writ of mandamus,
which had previously been served by
Bailiff Ellis, Austin, with his attorney
G. W. Ashford, called upon Acting
Auditor Meyers yesterday afternoon to
deliver up the Office, but the attorney
was refused his request, and the Audi
tors way to the Office was barred by
four stalwart policemen. Judge Gear
will be asked to again cite the Deputy
Auditor, High Sheriff and four police
men for contempt of court, and under
his previous ruling they are now liable
to punishment for disobeying the man
dates of the court. If, however. the
second judge does attempt to act, the
supreme court will be asked to pro-
hibit him from further proceeding with
the case pending a decision upon the
appeal which has already been taken.
Austin did not attempt to secure
service Of the writ through the High
Sheriff, but secured service through
Ellis, who, under the Humphreys bailiff
act, is given the same powers as a

Ashford secured copies of the writ
of mandamus from Judge Gear shortly
after O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
and these were certified to by Clerk j.
A. Thompson. One of the copies had
been made part of the court files. hav
ing been introduced in evidence by the
Attorney General at the hearing of the
contempt cases, but it was withdrawn
by Gear and signed for service. iBailiff
Ellis served the writ of mandamus
upon Deputy Auditor Meyers before 3
O'Clock by showing the original order
and giving him a-copy. Meyers accept
ed service upon the advice of Deputy
Attorney General Cathcart, and Ellis
then presented a similar copy to High
Sheriff Brown Attorney General Dole

unserved, with the return that he
could not be found.
1t was nearly o'clock before any
attempt to actually carry out the writ
of mandamus was made. Austin enter
ed the building with Attorney Ashford
and was allowed to go up stairs, one OF
the officers following. The two men
approached the door of the Auditors
office together. but the four policemen

: Pacing Race Is OF.

The match race between the PAGERS
Sambo and Cyclone. which was to have
been an added feature of the polo game
at Kapiolani Park this afternoon, has
been postponed indefinitely. The rains
have made the back stretch Of the track
so wet and slippery that the owners
felt they could not settle the question
OF superiority well, and Mr.. Ouderkirk
especially would not willingly send his
good animal through the mud. The
race will be brought off later.

4 CLAIM
MADE Of
CONSPIRACY
Evidence Given in
Tax Office
Case.
PRATT TELLS HOW
MONEY WAS TAKEN
Alleged That Woodward Forsvd
Thompson's Name TO the
Tax Receipts.

The jury in the case OF Territory OF
Hawaii VS.. Alexander D. Thompsoa.
charged with the embezziement Of
funds from the tax Office. was finally
secured yesterday afternoon, althouga
but little progress was made in
the trial. Nearly the entire afternoon
was taken up with objections BY
George Davis, counsel for the defend
ant, to the evidence of Tax Collector
Pratt, and but little of his story had
been told when Judge De Bolt contin-
ued the trial until Monday morning AZ
9 O'Clock.
The following is the jury sworn 20
try the case:
d. H. Davis. D. Kawananakoa, John
S. Gillis, J. d. Cockett, George Fern,
Charles Butzke, Warren Boyle, Hen
ry Hickey, A. L. Rickard, Caesar
Vieira, E. c. Holstein, A. d. Bolster.
After the jurors had been sworn Da-
Wis moved for the discharge of the
defendant on the ground that embez-
element is a statutory offense which
must be specifically set out in the In
dictment. The statute covered only
certain officials of the government, and
the list did not include such an official
as deputy tax assessor and collector,
as the indictment indicated Thompson
to be. Judge De Bolt denied the mo-
ton, and then followed long aud
tedious series of objections by Davis 20
every act of Deputy Attorney General
Douthitt and to the admission of al
most all of the evidence offered by
Collector Pratt. There was a spirited
interchange of words between opposing
counsel, which the court was called up
on more than once to stop. but the
hostilities did not reach very violent
stage.
Collector Pratt testified that he was
the assessor in charge of the distric,
of Oahu, but when he attempted to
define Thompson's position there was
strenuous objection on the part cf
Davis. The defendant contended th2t

HOLIDAY
FOOTBALL
AT PUNAHOU

When the football game is ended to-
champions of the League, or that the
future games will be the hottest that
have been seen for years. If the Puma
hous win they will have the champion
ship. If the Males win it Will mean
q tie and that there is a chance for
everyone. The n A. C. team will take
a brace and go after the two gan,es
(which remain for it to play the winning
of which viii make a three cornered
contest once more.
The game promises to be of more than
ordinary Interest," The teams have been
playing hard ball and their condition is
perhaps better now than at any pre-
vious time during the season. The Ma
lies are even in finer form than last
Saturday. when they defeated the II.
A. c.. team, when not in a single in
stance was time taken out for any play
er on that team. The collegians are the
same kind of players, and in conse-

be fast and hard all the time. There
will be no changes in the line-ups from
the last time out, according to the out
look last evening, when the men met
for the last time and had their final
consultation and lecture from the
coaches.
On formthe Punahous should win,
but the Males will give the collegians
}, orf1a 10 tfor xSyb for
the first game of the season. The team
is perhaps not so strong in some quar-
ters as it was then, but the men are
playing together better and their inter-
ference is holding together faster than
it has done before. Wright is missed
behind the line, but King has some
features of excellence of play which will
make him as good a man as the place
needs. If w. Wright does not come
back in time to make the play at guard
Robertson will go in and should prove
fast and staunch man, though he is
outclassed by Fuller.
The collegians are hard players. They
are showing in fine shape and should
be faster than before. The men are
getting down in weight as the season
goes on, for old time players like these
usually train on with work. Armstrong
or Berger is indicated for the end place,
and the decision will not be made un
til this morning. The men are both
in shape and the choice will make little
difference to the speed of the team
though Armstrong is the more heady
and experienced player of the two.
Morse will start in the back field and
should he for any reason be out of it
Mark Robinson and Rycroft are ready
and their value as ground-gainers is
known. The work in the back field will
be of the finest character on both sides.
and there seems no reason to pick either
one of the teams as winner except alone
on the experience and general charac-
ter of play of the collegians
The game will commence sharp at
2:30 o'clock and should not occupy more
than fifty minutes. The halves will be
twenty minutes in length and the wait
between the periods will be cut to five
minutes. There is little danger that the
game will be prolonged and every visit

THE FEAST

When at II o'clock this morning the
gather on the new Hackfeld wharf to
take part in the luau which has been
prepared for them, they will find most
attractive banqueting hall, and as well
all the good things of the season for
their enjoyment.
1t was at midnight that the laulaus
were placed in the monster linus which
had been prepared at the residence of
Senator Aehi in Palama. All day the
committee which had in charge the
work had been preparing the thousands
of laulaus and getting in shape the
vegetables which accompany them.
There We're poi bowls by the hundreds
too, for it is expected that there will
be not less than 1000 persons to par,
take of the good things which will be
prepared for the deiectation of the
guests.
The great wharf building has been
transformed, there being laid long ta-
bles of mating upon which the articles
of food are to be placed. Ferns are
used in profusion to line the tables and
the floor has been plentifully strewn
with the fragrant leaves, so that there
will be a scene of comfort and beauty
as well. There will be every possible
attention paid to the comfort of the
Hawaiian guests of the committee, and
it is expected that the hundreds who
attend win enjoy themselves to the ut
most. The affair is in charge of
committee which has been most sue
cessful in making complete arrange
ments for the feast.

football and then go on to the Polo, ac-
cording to the present arrangements.
The crowd, which viii be entertained by
the band preceding and during the
game, is expected to number 1000 people
if the weather is good, and even if it is
bad there will be a large crowd, for
there is nothing that stops a football
team from its play The game will be
refereed and umpired by F. NJ. Brooks

MORE RAILROAD CONTRACTS
President Hartman Calls for Bids for Ogden.
Lucin Cutoff.

President Hartman of the Southern
Pacific, who last week awarded four
contracts for the reconstruction of
eighty-seven miles of the Central Pa
cific at a total cost of 81, 000, 900, will let
seven additional contracts for similar
work on February 10th and Is tn. Con-
tracing firms have been furnished
with the necessary data and invited to
bid on those dates.
Six contracts, the bids for which will
be opened on February 18th, affect six
vada. The seventh contract the bids
for which will be opened on February
10th, is for fifteen miles of new road
bed from Ogden west to the eastern
shore of Salt Lake. 1t is estimated
that the total Of seventy-five miles
or reconstructed road will cost about
81, 500, 900.
Mr.. Hartman has decided not to
extend the Central Pacific into Salt
Lake City IND make the latter instead
of ogden the eastern terminus of the
Central Pacific. With that object IN
view, he had extended surveys made
last summer.
He has no wrejected them and will
build the Lucin-Ogden cutoff decided
upon by c. P. Huntington, for which
purpose he had Incorporated the Og-
den and Lucin Railroad Company with
a capital of $4,000, 600. The present
Central Pacific route between Ogden
and Lucin is LAG miles long and very
expensive to operate, because of the
Kelton and Promontory grades. The
proposed cutoff will be los miles long
and perfectly level. Thirty miles Of 1t
will run across the northern end of the
Great Salt Lake, partly on trestle work
and partly on filling.
1t is generally conceded hat it will
be an expensive and wonderful piece
of ~railroading to build thirty miles of
road across the Great Salt Lake.
