damages to $4,000, which was voted

that hasty action in the matter will
look like an attempt to cast reflections
on the committee interpretations. That
committee has three bills of this char

Made.

Reports were current yesterday
that the Rock Island is likely to get
control of the Mexican Central rail

pears to be the Basis for the report.
The Rock Islands El Paso line con
meets with the Mexican Central and
the Frisco means to meet it at San

Rock Island has secured full control

He Refuses to Say What He Thinks OF tho
referendum.

Referendum.
Springfield, Ills, March 21.-GOvern-
or Yates. when asked what he had to
say in view of the action of the house
in attaching a referendum clause to
the civil service bill, declined to be in
terviewed. except to say: when the
house of representatives, by two
thirds vote, declared in favor of re-
ferring the measure to the people at
the polls there is nothing for the eX-
ecutive to do but acquiesce.
The overwhelming vote shows such
determined feeling upon the part of
the house as to indicate that 1t would
manifest that feeling even to the ex-
tent of passing such a provision over
the vote of the executive, in view of
the fact that this sentiment seems to
control overwhelmingly in all factions
of all parties it would be folly for the
executive to do otherwise than to
acquiesce."

Fight Between the bitches.

Judge Sherman says the annexation
bill must pass. Furthermore, he says
that the Arnold bill, To conserve and
protect the real estate of the state ca

sanitary canal will be made useless.
Tie Arnold bill aims to establish as
sacred all the state canal property and
prevent its condemnation by eminent
domain or by other court process.
Judge Sherman says that such n law
would put the sanitary canal out of
business. The object of the Arnold bill
is to prevent the sanitary canal from
crossing the state canal, which is coll
sidered necessary

FOOTBALL
SCHEDULE
Local Association
Forms Plans for
Autumn.
Will Play Season of Six
Games Starting on
Nov. ID.
Four Teams in League Promise
Good Sport-Grounds Not
Yet Decided Upon.

The first regular meeting for this
season of the Honolulu Football As
ISOLATION was held last evening in the
Y. M. c. A. building, representatives
of every team being present to- the
total number of Is.
c. H. Cooke, secretary for last year,
held the chair. Among those present
besides the chairman, were George
Fuller, manager, and Captain Ander-
son of the Punahous, George Lucas,
manager, and Henry James, captain of
the Males, Lieut.. Harry Newton,
manager, Lieutenant Behr and Team
and Coach Jess Woods of the H. A. Cs.
After the names of c. H Cooke and
Lieutenant Newton had been proposed
and personally withdrawn in nominal
ton for president, w. H. Babbitt,
pitcher for the Punahou baseball team,
man who thoroughly understands
the game, was unanimously chosen as
President of the Association. George
Lucas was made secretary and Jess
Woods, vice president, three teams
being thus represented on the direc-
torate.
Mr.. Cooke announced last years net
receipts as resulting in a distribution
of $199.64 to the three competing teams
with an equal amount to the Oahu
College authorities for use of the
grounds.
The question of grounds coming up
it was shown that there were three
available propositions. The baseball
grounds, with fence and grandstand,
the trustees having agreed to put the
grounds into satisfactory condition;
the Boys Brigade grounds, with an
eight-foot fence and a promise Of
bleachers, and the Oahu College CAM
pus. A committee consisting of the
manager of each team, Geo. Fuller,
Lieut. Newton, Pat Gleason and Geo.
Lucas, were appointed to visit these
grounds, ascertain terms from those
in charge and report next Tuesday
evening.
The schedule next came up. Lieut..
Behr believed from a financial stand
point, that each team should meet the
other twice thus playing a schedule of
twelve games starting October 81 and
ending Jan. l.
Headed by Cooke, James and Ander-
S, n the meeting sensed the view that
none of the teams having started train
ing later than the Artillery team,
would be in shape to open so soon and
that it would be impossible, in this
climate, to keep men in training for
so long a period.
A schedule of six weeks was then
decided upon as follows, a tie to result
in a play off between the teams:
Nov 14-H. A. c. vs. Artillery.
Nov. 21-Punahou VS.. Males.
Nov. 26-Mailes VS. H. A. c.
Dec. 5-Artillery VS. Punahou.
Dec. 12-Maile VS.. Artillery.
Dec. 19-Punahou VS.. H. A. c.
This brings the Thanksgiving Day
game to the Maile-H. A. C. contest.
| The admission price was fixed at fifty
cents straight. One member from
| each club will be appointed to choose

FERRIS SAVED
FROM GALLONS

Governor Dole yesterday announced
his decision to commute the death SEN
tence of George E. Ferris, for the
murder of John Watson, to twenty
years Imprisonment.
Ferris was convicted last year and
sentenced by Judge Gear to be hanged.
C. F. Reynolds, who defended him on
the trial. started an appeal but after
ward left the Territory and E. c..
Peters handled the appeal until its
dismissal by the Supreme Court, which
affirmed the conviction and sentence
A few months ago E. V. Christian
son, an eye witness of the killing of
Watson, who was not called in the
trial, came forward with a statement
showing provocation given by the vic
tim and drunkenness on the part of
Ferris when the deed was done.
Attorney General Andrews, at the
instance of the Governor, investigated
Christianson's statement with rigor
like that shown in regular trial
When his report was rendered to the
Governor it was submitted to the ex-
ecutiVe council, a majority of which
decided that Christensen evidence if
given at the trial, would not have
changed the verdict.
Governor Dole later obtained an
opinion from the Attorney General as
to his power to commute the sentence,
and this being to the effect that he
had such power the Governor took the
matter under his personal considera-
ton, yesterday deciding in favor of life
for Ferris as already stated. The
convicted man has failed greatly in
health during his long confinement,
and it was the opinion of visitors to
the prison that. unless his execution
was not much longer delayed, the ig-
nominy of death on the gallows would
not be his fate to bear.

Badness Due to Living Minute
Germ.

Badness Due to Living Minute
Germ.
Many people, even unto the present
day of grace, consider badness due to
hereditary influence.
Nothing is further from the truth
Badness is caused by the onslaught
of a minute organism which secretes
itself beneath the scalp and attacks the
roots of the hair-causing it to lose it's
life and fall out
This organism cannot be got rid of
except by the free and persevering use
of Newbros Herpicide.
No matter how badly the scalp is
affected the Dandruff surely disap-
pears and hair health is restored when
Herpicide is applied.
