more such he will be unceremonious-

State Bowling League
the Latest for the
Pin Knights

An interstate bowling league has
been proposed in this city and letters
have already been addressed to clubs
In other cities. A three or a four
section league is talked of. These
sections will each play for the cham
pionship of that particular section,
then all Of the champions will play
off the championship of the state. A
handsome prize is to be hung up.
Local bowlers have commenced to
show considerable interest in the
proposition and it's early consumma-
ton Is being looked forward to.
Pin Notes.
The past week has been an i'm
portant one in the bowling alleys.
The pin-knights have done an amount
of practicing that is hard to equal
and as the time for the deciding of
the successful aspirants for the
Occur d'Alene team draws near the
club members are practicing harder
than ever.
To judge by the numbers of bowl
ers who claim to have a cinch on tho
turkey prizes which Owney Patton is
talking of hanging up Christmas eve,
there must be a lot OF poultry fan
ciers in this city.
The Occur d'Alene alleys were
treated to a brand new stunt last
night. 1t might have been either a
race course or a piano from what oc-

.SERENO BISHOP ON
ANCIENT HISTORY

Rev. Canon Weymouth of Lahaina
recently received an interesting letter
from DR.. Serene e. Bishop Of Honolulu
relative to the sharp earthquake at La
hainaluna in 1870, from which the
News has kindly been allowed to make
the following extracts:
EARLY in 1870, at Lahainaluna, the
house in which | had lived for nearly
five years was badly shattered by an
earthquake, the center of which was
judged to be little west of Lanai.
That older house was probably built
by Rev. Lorrin Andrews, the founder
of the school, about 1888.
"We rebuilt it of wood, using the old
stone basement, and the flooring of the
old house, as far as it could be made
use of in various ways. That flooring
was apparently of Australian Eucalyp.
tus. The carpenter and mason en-
ployed was Thomas Forsyth, who, I
! believe, died recently on East Maui.
Il hope that the occupants Of the
house were caused no severe distress
by the fire-also that fine large Cook
Tor Norfolk)) pine which l planted
escaped destruction.
Very singularly, neither of the other
two stone buildings there were seri-
oucly damaged by that earthquake. |
judged that owing to the nearness OF
my house to the brink of the ravine,
the vibration of the earth there ended
with violence, like the snapper Of a
whip lash. A few buildings in Lahaina
suffered slight cracks-and l believe
there were one or two such cases in
Honolulu, The earthquake occurred in
the middle of the night, and was truly
distressing to the nerves, SO that the
slightest earth tremor would send us
flying outdoors. Several light tremors
occurred for week or two subse-
quent. Maui News.

MURPHY WILL BE
PUT ON TRIAL
From Mondays daily.)

The trial of Pat Murphy, charged
with the murder of Joe Perry, will
begin this morning in Judge Robin
sons court 1t is doubtful II jury
can be secured today, as the present
panel is not large one, and probably
will be speedily exhausted.
Murphy, since his arrest in March,
has been held in prison without bail
on the charge of murder in the first
degree.
The alleged crime was committed on
the McCandless ranch at Makua, and
there is no direct evidence that Muir
ply did it, Joe Perry, a Portuguese,
employed on the ranch, of which Muir
ply was foreman, was found lying on
the ground dead. Murphy Is said to
have told a native that he had been
kicked by a mule, but he has denied
this. An examination OF the dead
mans body showed that he had been
shot, and Murphy has been held for
the crime.

FEATHERLESS
MINAH BIRDS

Is the Kauai breed of mynah birds to
be transformed into featherless tribe
because of the effort to kill the Ian
tana? Assessor Pratt is telling story
which cropped out at the recent meet
ing of the Board of Equalization, and
which whether true or otherwise Is
decidedly interesting
According to the story told at this
meeting the Kauai people are making
an effort to stamp out the lantana in
dependent Of the work carried on by
the Territorial Entomologist. The
blight which has been imported for this
purpose is, it is reported, spreading
quite rapidly, but has suddenly devel-
oped an enemy which threatens it's de-
struction before the lantana Is entirely
annihilated. The mynah birds are very
fond of the little insects which prey
upon the lantana, and eat them when
ever found. Lately, however, 1t has
been discovered that the blight is af-
fecting the mynah birds rather queer
ly, as well, and many of them are los
ing their feathers. Some of the people
on the island trace connection be-
tween the two and say that either the
fight on lantana will have to be aband-
oned, or else clothes must be provided
for the mynah birds. So far nothing
has been done, and further develop
ments are anXiously awaited.
Both Prof. koebele and Prof. Perkins
are inclined TO doubt the truth of the
Kauai story, and say that the prospect
I've tribe OF featherless mynah birds
cannot be due to the blight sent out by
the Agricultural Department, as none
had been forwarded TO Kauai. They
do say, however, that the promiscuous
and unskilled attempts being made ii
various parts OF the Islands to Kill
lantana is likely to result in more harm
than good. BY introducing pests which
may kill the lantana, there is danger
also that, though successful in this
the pest may also prey upon sugar
cane and other species OF plant life.

MADE TOO
MUCH NOISE
WouId-Be Burglar
Is Sent to
Prison.
(From Saturdays Daily.)


One conviction and two acquittals
was the net result Of the criminal work
in Judge Robinson's court yesterday.
Hose Regi, a seventeen year old Por-
to Rican boy, was the only defendant
found guilty by the jury. His trial re-
quired less than an hour, and the jury
was out only five minutes. He was
charged with attempting burglary in
the first degree, and the court sentenced
him to prison for two years and SIX
months for the crime. Regi, according
to the evidence, tried to break into a
store at the corner of King street and
Waikiki road He had entered, but in
opening the door knocked down bar
which was across the doorway. The
noise of the falling bar awakened the
Chinese inmates of the place, and they
got lanterns and lamps and started to
search for the intruder, who Immediate
ly took to his heels. He was chased
for some distance and finally captured
and turned over to the police.
Judge Robinson lectured the young
offender at considerable length and

afterwards that he was searching mis-
pockets for che ia tickets, being en-
ployed as a police spy.
RICARD ACQUITTED.
August Ricardo, Porto Rican oh'rb-
ed with selling beer without license,
was found not guilty by a jury last
evening after having been out for three
hours The beer alleged to have been
bought from Ricard was introduced In
evidence, but it had no effect upon the
jury.
The present jury has not convicted
