TWO WIVES
LEFT HUSBANDS

| David Paiaina is a young Hawaiian.
He lives with his brother and his broth
er's wife in Pauoa Valley. Up to last
Saturday night David's own wife also
| lived in the same house. David finished
| his weeks work as a longshoreman on
| Saturday and returning home had a
wordy row with the wife. The latter
then left.
Last night David suddenly realized
that he was lonely. He got a cab and
started out in search of his wife. He
kept his Chinese driver moving to diff
ferent parts of the city and eventually
learned that the wife was housed with
a family on Queen street. But David
latter household and thought it bet
ter not to approach the place unless
accompanied by a policeman. So he
drove to the Police Station and told his
troubles to Captain Parker. After hear
ing the recital Parker asked:
''WeIl, what do you want here?"
''You send a policeman to look up my
wife and bring her back" said Paiaina.
mot much" quoth Parker, you get
your own wife back"
Paiaina went off in a huff. But he
did not go far. He only went as far as
King street and meeting officer Kulike
ordered that policeman to get into the
hack with him. L have been to the
Station House said Paiaina, and they
say for you to go with me to get my
wife,
Kulike doubted this assertion and
telephoned to the station for instruc-
tons The latter were for him to re-
main on his beat. The police rounded
up David and he was sternly given TO
understand that no messengers were
sent with orders for policemen on the
beats.
The David incident had hardly closed
when an old man, hobbling along with
the aid of a cane entered the station.
He wore an old blue army coat and
with a wry face demanded that the
police go in search of his wife. He
declared that she had left home and
he feared that she had gone to Waikiki
to have a good time Parker told
him the police had something else to do |
than search for runaway wives. The !
old man wandered off muttering all
kinds of imprecations against the |
police.

William B. Millar. head of the Young
Mems Christian Association work in
the army and navy, was a passen-
ger on the transport Sheridan en-
| route to Manila to investigate Asso-
citation matters in the Philippines. Mr..
Millar looked over the situation in Ho-
Rolulu, and one result of his visit here
| will be branch work at the new army
post at Kahauiki
At the last session of Congress ST.
| 100000 was appropriated for post ex-
changes in each of which, as estab-
| lished, the Y NJ C. A. will be given
quarters. In these quarters the AS
ISOLATION will carry on not only its
usual religious work, but will devote
much time and attention to education
al work. The army has come to
recognize the value of the practical
| work of the Y. NJ. c. A, in the army
| and is disposed to give every assist
ance to the organization
MT MllIar stated yesterday to an
| Advertiser man, that the Association
has won a great victory in gaining the
permission of the army authorities to
work directly in the various posts. The
| Association had appropriated a large
sum of money beforehand to erect Y.
NJ. c. A. buildings on army reserva-
TONS but the post exchange quarters
will probably answer just as well. Mr..
Millar will make a careful study Of
the post exchange system to determine
whether the quarters will be large
enough, and therefore influential
enough, to work properly among the
soldiers. If the space is found suffi-
Gent the money appropriated by the
Y. M. c. A, for special buildings will
be devoted to other uses in the army.
Gen. Young was instrumental in
securing permission for the Y. M. c.
A. to occupy space in the post ex-
changes, but his idea seemed to be
that gymnasium work would MAIN
ly be carried on by the Association.
This idea was gained while he was at
A1dershot, England and at various
fortresses in Germany

BIG FIGHT
TONIGHT
Barry and Kelly With
Other Bouts At
Orpheum.

Tonight Dave Barry and Cyclone
Kelly make their farewell bows to a
Honolulu ringside audience preparato-
~ to FASTING each other for fifteen
rounds or so before an admiring crowd
that bids fair to fill the Orpheum.
Both the men leave on the Alameda
for California. the habitat from which
they We're brought by Manager Cohen
for the de1ectation of Honolulu ring
siders
The program tonight is notable one
including, besides the main event, three
contests that should all prove drawing
cards. The main bout consists of a
fifteen round go between Kelly and
Barry with no hitting in the clinches
and free breakaway. Kelly has a
slight advantage in weight but Barry
remains favorite despite a fairly re-
preventative backing of local men for
Kelley who was defeated by Barry the
last time they met in seven rounds aft
er severe punishment in the clinches
in which hitting was allowed.
Billy Woods sounds a note of warn
ing to ringsiders who may imagine that
they see fouls this evening when none
are happening. you want to remem-
ber,' said the veteran, that 1t takes
two men to max clinch and a clinch
is not constituted when one man puts
his hands on another or hangs on him
to save himself. The other fellow may
give him all the Cruel he wants to In
return without violating the rules. on
1y of course they must not interchange
blows on the breakaway. There is al
ways a whole bunch of folk who howl
at the referees decisions and yell foul
when they don't know the rules of the
game
An eight round contest between Hui
hui and Silva will Immediately precede
the main event and much interest is
centered in this go. Silva is very strong
but his enemies say he will not stay
the limit if he is being severely
handled. Huihui is the favorite al
though his hackers are wary of the
terrible swings of the Portuguese who
has also advantage in weight.
A six round go between Modlin of
Camp Mckinley and Castro the Tele- |
phone Smasher, a plucky deniZen Of |
Guam will see all of the camp who |
can get leave and raise the price on |
hand to watch their man win out. He !
has three times met Castro and twice
the outcome has been a draw. The
third time he stopped Castro in the /
first round with hard smash on two |
half knit ribs. The go is generally re-
yarded as an even event.
Nigel Jackson who says he has train
ID harder in the last two weeks than
Ia has ever done before is to attempt |
O settle the hash of one Hupa in four
.ounds. Jackson is out drilling with

The program will start at eight
hirtv bringing the main event on a
,out an hour later. Seats are selling
veil and as this is the last ringside
vent that Cohen may ever bring on
