FORMER SENATOR
STRUCK BY ROCK
General M. c. Butler Victim
of an Accident Near
Richmond.

General NJ. c.. Butler, of South Caro-
lima, for many years United States SEN
ator prior to that time a Confederate
general and later a major-general in the
United States army, was painfully In
jured Sunday morning by being struck
with a stone hurled through car Win
dow while the General was a passenger
on Seaboard Air Line train entering
this city. The accident, as 1t is believed to
be, occurred about l0:30, Just as the train
was passing the junction of the Southern
and Washington and Southern tracks
near this city. General Butler who was IN
a Pullman car, was struck severe blow
on the side of his head. causing painful
scalp wound and cutting his ear. The
wound was dressed by physician on the
car, and General Butler continued his
trip, receiving additional treatment on his
arrival at his home
II Ia believed that tho stone was thrown
by some Imischieyous boy, but whether IN
tended for the train or not is unknown.
No information as to the identity OF tho
thrower OF the missile can be had. even
as result Of d!llgent inquiry by the
railway officials.

City Accountant Took Issue
With the Attorney.
MR.. POLLARD MADE
VERY WARM REPLY
Refused to Submitto Criticism from a
Layman, and Used tie Word "Up-
start Declared if Committee
Was N OF Satisfied He Would
Pay Another Lawyer to
Write an Opinion.

There was spicy session OF the Fl.
nance Committee and tho Board Of Sink
ing Fund Commissioners at the City Hall
yesterday afternoon in which there were
some sharp passages between City At
torney H. r. Pollard and City Account
ant Carlton Mccarthy. While the incl
dent lasted but few minutes, it was
fast and furious throughout. and 1t was
evident that the City Attorney was ex-
cecd!ngly angry. Neither was the City
Accountant in a pleasing mood. though
he made no reply to the thrusts OF the
City Attorney. but proceeded finally
with the reading Of the paper which had
provoked the trouble.
The joint body has been holding meet
ings from time to time for the past
month to endeavor to arrive at some
settled policy with reference to the af-
fairs OF the sinking fund, the immediate
matter under consideration being the
question OF issuing 100000 of per cent.
bonds to meet some outstanding obliga-
tons Of the city shortly to mature.
OFINIONstN.0.s i. 81
After the first meeting Mr.. Pollard
was asked for an opinion as to the rights
the matter of dealing with bond issues.
and when this was submitted Captain
Mccarthy took issue in a measure and
criticised the paper In lengthy prepared
statement of the condition OF the city's
finances The City Attorney was asked
for further opinion, and this was SUBJ
mitted later on.
Captain Mccarthy in another prepared
statement was crlticsing this second doc
dov had
referred to Mr.. Pollard by name, nor did
he use the term CITY Attorney" but
many references were made In his paper
to the "opinon."
SOME WARM WORDS.
The city accountant was firing into the
lawyers opinions by inference. differing
with Mr.. Pollard in many of the lat
ter's conclusions. Finally Mr.. Pollard arose
and declared that he had practiced in all
the courts, from the United States Su-.
preme Court to the humblest In the State.
and he had not had his opinions criticised
by a layman.
Later he said he did not propose that
one of them should now be assaied by
an "up start" Mr.. Pollard further said
with some show of feeling, that If the
Committee were not satisfied with his
opinion, he would personally pay some
other lawyer to write one. but he re-
sented the criticism which was then be-
ing passed upon it.
The City Attorney at one time started
to leave the room. but was invited to re-
main. which he finally did.
The committee rose about 6 o'clock, the
incident having closed, but no vote was
taken on any pending proposition.
The body will meet again on Monday
night next, when 1t is likely that report
will be formulated. The incident between
the two city officials was the chief topic
about the Hall last night.

STEAMSHIP BASEBALL

and boat crews of the same company.

and the game will be played on Sun
day next. An attempt will be made
to secure ground at Kapiolani park
as the managers feel that in playing
Sunday baseball as close to the resi-

laying themselves open to criticism
and possible objections from those liv-

They feel, however, handicapped by
the imposed restriction that only men
qualified to dine In the cabin may

or four players, who are oilers. whose
assistance would materially strengthen
their team. The Wilders having won
the cup have now however, 1t is said,

BASEBALL STILL
KEEPS POPULAR

Baseball seems to have taken a new
impetus from the advent of the football
season. Not only is the Midwintar
League booked for several games and
a new series arranged between the
League teams, but sporadic teams are
still springing up. The La Palomas,
Pacifics and Waianaes are playing
series making three games for Sunday
at Kapiolani park besides the Wilder
employees match of Cabin VS.. Engine
Room and Forecastle.
On Saturday afternoon it is on the
cards that the first Of the series be-
tween the combined Kamehameha n.
A. c. nine and the Punahou-Elks, will
be played on the regular grounds.
Nothing final has been arranged in the
matter as the Baseball Trustees are
awaiting a definite communication from
the intending players. wireless r1ay
also announce final arrangements at
Hilo for an Inter Elk match at Hoolu-
lu park and in that case the local team
would leave tomorrow.
The last to catch the fever are EN-.
ployes of T. H. Davies & Co. and II.

ball playing abilities in friendly
match to take place on Saturday after

of them in twinkling. But a

appetite, failure of force and

bout nothing in particular,
tendency to be irritable over tri-
fles, why should you be anxious
on these grounds? No doubt
they will pass off like a drift
ing cloud and you will be all
right again. We are apt to rea-
son thus, and fancy these symp-
toms to have no serious mean
ing. Unchecked and only half
understood the trouble creeps on
until it eliminates in local or
ganic disease difficult to cure.
