Governor Carter is devoting all the
time he can spare from the regular
routine of the executive office to a per-
sonal investigation of the Kohala ditch

voiuminous, requiring time and study
for it's comprehension, but says he
wants to obtain a thorough understand
ing of the situation.
The Governor yesterday received the
reports of various heads of departments
relative to current matters in their
charge. There was no finished business

WEDAY The
IRON JAWED
Fighter Training Hard
At Long Branch
Quarters.

Jack Weday, the 'Iron-Jawed Man."
who is to fight Dave Barry at the Or
pheum on New Years night, is the ad-
miration of his friends during his
training hours. In fact. Weday's
training canot but force the most fay
orable of comments from an outsider,
for he is a marvel of physical develop
ment, a Sandow in embryo. Long
Branch, at Waikiki, is much talked
of place at present for it is there that
Jack Weday is developing all his mus
Gle, skill and clear-headedness for
what promises to be one of the best
ring contests ever held in Honolulu.
Weday is well known figure in Ho-
nolulu, and has been looked upon by
the sporting fraternity as a coming
man in t ring with the world-known
pugs, despite his thirty years of life.
Ever since his contests with Lon Ag-
new, Weday has been looked upon as a
man upon whom the sports can depend,
and Weday in his present raining
holds out a promise of victory over his
very able opponent, Barry. Weday
has been tried in the local prize-ring
and was not found eanting. Barry is
yet the unknown quantity.
Whenever "a crowd congregates
around the doors OF Long Branch an
tcil NTc,1a iS
working. An Advertiser man who
| looked at him yesterday afternoon for
about an hour was convinced that it
| is all work and little play for man
| to prepare himself for fifteen-round
go in the ring. Weday's skin glistened
with persplration, and his breathing
through his nose, for his teeth were
| set hard, indicated that it was a siren
uous life he was leading. When his
muscles worked in and out, or punched
and then relaxed, then Weday looked
| formidable indeed.
The "Iron-Jawed" is aroused early
every morning by his guardian, trainer
and admirer, Dutch Pete Miller. A
plunge in the briny deep refreshes him.
Then donning his outing rig, and ac-
companied by the ever-faithful Pete
he takes a long, brisk walk, which in
cludes the decentralization of Dia-
mond Head and Kapiolani park. An
other dip in the ocean and Weday is
ready for his lunch. A rest is then
taken and about 2 o'clock he strips to
training costume and goes into the
boxing room for his inside work. For
half an hour Weday punches the bag,
beating a tattoo on the, overhead
board. Cool-headed throughout this
work Weeday shows himself master
of the bag. At times the biffs he i'm
plants upon it rip it from the rope,
sending it hurting across the room.
1t is during this work that Weday's
| tremendous biceps, deltoid and fore
arms show their power. There is no
| muscle-binding. The muscles play
freely and despite the great size of his
arms Weday manipulates them as
deftly and delicately as a lady uses
her fan.
| Then about nine rounds of >sparring
are had with A. II. Clark of Camp
Mckinley. Formerly Weday boxed
with Kaminsky, De Lisle and Latham.

WOULD ANNEX us
TO CALIFQ RNIA

Senator Newlands in a speech before
the Senate on his Cuba annexation res
olution said something interesting
about Hawaii in the following para
graphs:
This is a part of the proper ex-
pansion of the Republic, the tradi-
tional expansion of the Republic, not
the modern expansion of the empire
over countries in distant seas. Ha-
wall is a military outpost in the Pa
cific controlling our defensive line.
Why should we have her? She occu-
pies such position as she would if she
were only hundred miles from San
Francisco, and practically protects the
entire coast from foreign invasion. No
fleet can sail from the Orient and reach
the Pacific Coast without coaling, and
with Hawaii in our possession the
ships of such a fleet would be dere-
licts upon the ocean before reaching
our shore. And so as a matter of
economy and of wise administration
and of wise adjustments of the bound
aries of this country we have taken
Hawaii into the Union as a Territory
with q Delegate. She has today the
position of an infant State, is in a
transitional stage toward statehood,
not, perhaps, independent statehood;
but 1 trust that some method will be
found in the future to incorporate her
in the State of California as a county,
and thus give her that representation
in the Union to which every foot of
ground over which the American flag
floats is, in my judgment, entitled"

SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES.
NAY Bk LIMITED TO ErGnT MILES

Believed That the Ordinance Commit

So Recommend.

TIE ordinance committee of the CITY
council, which was directed at the
last meeting OF that body to prepare
an ordinance regulating the speed of
automobiles within the corporate linz
its of Martinsbnrg, VIII make its re-
port at the next regular meeting Of the
council, Thursday evening of next
week
In conversation with one of the
members of the committee newspa-
par man learned that the speed of ma
chimes would very probably be restrict
ed to miles per hour. Although the
committee has as yet arrived at no
definite understanding, investigation
Of the requirements of other cities will
more than likely lead the members to
fix upon that limit. A statement was
made sometime ago that the authori-
ties in WASHINGTON permitted owners
of machines to rup at q rate of ~
miles an hour. but this is now said to
he incorrect, and tina the law limits
the speed to s miles. The laws Of
other cities are also being inyesti-
gated, with a view of getting at The
average speed permitted.
The councilman quoted above said
that, in his opinion, IL miles an hour
in Martinsburg would be dangerous.
and in this he is backed by the judg-
ment of other persons. A speed of s
miles an hour is thought to be about
the proper limit, and it would not be
surprising if the council adopted such
measure upon the recommendation OF
the members of the ordinance commit

STATE NATIONAL GUARD
Will Encamp Next Week at Par

TWO COMPANIES OF REGULARS
Have Been Ordered to Attend by Secretary
Root--Local Organization VIII
he There.

The state encanpment of the nation
al guard Of West Virginia will be held
this year in Petersburg, and the sol
dier bows will begin their camp life on
August 4, which falls ON Tuesday of
next week. 1t was first intended TO
hold the encampment this year at
Huntington. and all arrangements had
been perfected to take the millitiamen
to that place for the regular yearly
drill, but the prevalence of small ox
in Huntintgon induced Governor
White to make the change. Hunting
ton will get the encampment next
year.
Officers of the guard win go to
Parkersburg Immediately and begin
the necessary work. which. owing to
the nearness of the time set for the
en"ampment, will have to be done in
a very expeditions manner.
Stephepson's field will be utilized
for the encampment grounds. and is
an ideal location, as was demonstra-
ted last year when the guard camped
there. This will undoubtedly be the
most successful encanpmeDt ever held
in the state. An unusual featare will
be the presence of two companies of
the famous Ninth Ipfant.v which has
been ordered to attend the encamp-
meut by Secretary of War Root. The
companies are each composed of SO men
aud are fully officered. About 1000
of the militia will be represented
Neither Major Moore, of the Second
regiment of Virginia militia, nor the
officers of company e, the local organ

Of the change in the place of encamp-
ment. nor when they are expected 20
appear ON the grounds. 1t is proha-
Bile, however, that the official not ice
will reach this city in IA day or two.
and they may leave on Monday morn
ing for the scene OF the eneampment.
The BOYS are looking forward to the
time in camp with great deal OF
pleasure, aud seem to regard It in the
nature of an outing.

service. He was for time military at
tache at Vienna, and afterward Servian
minister at Cettinje. When his sis
ter-in-law became queen he began to
feel the effects of his quarrel with her.
He lost all his appointments and fell
into disgrace.
In revenge he seems to have
used his influence to infiame his
brother officers against the king and
queen, and when the conspiracy against
them was organized he was the chief
mover. His activity was not confined
to organizing the plot. All accounts Of
the tragedy agree in stating that he ac-
tually led the band of assassins and
helped to slash and pistol the king and
queen to death. According to one ac-
count he objected to the throwing Of
the dead bodies out of the windows of
the palace. on the ground that 1t was
needless barbarity." The remark is
characteristic of the man.
Col. Maschin is now minister of pub
lie works in the Servian cabinet, and
has been advanced considerably In the
military service, when all the regicides
received "pay" for their patriotism. :"
