A glance at the police court docket
for several days past reveals a number
of surprising and interesting facts
which are instrumental in shedding a
great light on the reason why gambling
in Honolulu today as it has never done
before.
Gambling cases. the kind the police

police court regularly for quite a little
time past, bat the record shows a lam
entable leniency in dealing with them.
Many fines have been imposed, it is
true. but in a great number of instances
they have amounted to 81, including

According to the record an inexplica-

from the cells.
The tale of nolle prosequis, intermin-

creditably on the zeal put into his

OPPOSED THE KING.
Croker Bid Against Yearlings Wanted
by Edwards Stable.

London, Jan. IA serious scandal
promises to develop in racing circles as
a result of the Jockey clubs action in
interdicting Richard Croker from train
ing his horses in Newmarket. The
history of the affair given out by
friends of Mr. croker is that when at
the Newmarket sales in September
Mr. Croker appeared as a bidder for
certain yearlings he was informed that
he was opposing Lord Marcus Beres-
ford, who, it is well known has entire
charge of King Edwards racing sta
bles This did not deter Mr.. Croker
and it was suggested to him that If he
insisted in competing he would not be
allowed to train his horses at New
market. Mr.. Croker, howeevr, was not
Influenced, claiming that his conduct
was not discourteous as he was dealing
through an agent who did not know
his adversary in the transactions and
merely carried out his instructions.
In an interview in Dublin Mr.. Croker
said he was still completely in the dark
regarding the whole matter and ex-
pressed establishment at the fact that
the stewards did not give reason for
their action. A newspaper says today
Mr.. Croker intends to sell his residence
at Vantage, England. For some months
past he has been living in ireland,
where it is reported he will reside al
together hereafter.

ANOTHER FOR IRWIN.
Alfred Downey Of Memphis Signed
by the K. C. Blues.

Kansas City, Jan. manager
Irwin of the Kansas City Blues has
secured Alfred DoWney, an infielder
who played with the Memphis club in
the Southern league last season, who
was acknowledged to be one of the
best shortstops in that organization
Irwin had a contract on Collins. also
an infielder, whose home is in Mem
phis. Collins owns billiard hall in
Memphis and was anxious to remain
there if possible. He wrote Irwin
stating that the Memphis people were
after him and asked Irwin to trade
him if possible. Correspondence was
begun between Irwin and the man
ager of the Memphis team, with the
result that Collins was traded for
Downey.
Downey did not show up very well
in batting last season, his special
fortes being fielding and base running.
He made 100 hits, twenty sacrifices,
thirty stolen bases and his total bat
ting average for the season was .225.
He played in 1O8 games. Before sign
ing with Memphis Downey belonged
to the Toronto club. He batted PA
in 1908, when a member of that team.
It is probable that Irwin will play
Downey at shortstop and Castro, the
other infielder whom he signed re-

FINAL STRUGGLE.
OF Millionaire Plat to Recover Money
From Hannah Elias.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE final stage
in the struggle for the possession of
nearly three-quarters of a million dol
lars between John r. Platt, an aged
millionaire. and Hannah Elias,
negress, who, he charges, wrongfully
obtained the money from him, was
scheduled to begin before Justice
Bischoff in the supreme court today.
In this suit it was expected that the
whole amazing story of the affair which
attracted the attention of the entire
country when the secret of Platt's re-
lation with the woman was revealed
by the filing of his suit last summer
would be brought out.
Interest in the case was intensified
from the first by the strange and tragic
death of Andrew H. Green, one of the
city's most prominent men, who was
shot to death almost at the door of the
Elias Woman'S home on Central Park
west q few months before the Platt
suit was filed. Green's murderer, a
negro, who was captured and later
sent to an insane asylum, said he shot
Mr.. Green because he was jealous of
the latter's attentions to Mrs. Elias.
With the filing of the Platt suit the
contention of Mr.. Green's friends that
he was a victim of mistaken identity
when the fatal attack was made, was
practically proven. There was re-
markable similarity in personal appear
ance between Andrew H. Green and
John R. Platt, and Mr.. Plat himself
mas Se10 that ne believes the 1tlSetA16
negro intended to kill him and mis-
took Mr. Green for him.
Mrs. Elias maintains that the vast
sum named in Platt's suit was given to
her voluntarily by Platt-that he lit
orally threw money at her. She has
told of one instance when, she says,
after pressing her to take a large sum
which she refused, he threw a great
handful of bank notes on the floor and
she had a servant gather them up on
a dustpan. On the other hand Platt
asserts that the defendant resorted to
every trick and device her ingenuity
could command to extort money from
him during the 20 years of their ac-
Quaintance-
Mr. Platt is now 81 years old and
very feeble.

HERMANN TO RESIGN
Chairman of the National Baseball
Commission to Quit.

Cincinnati. Jan. ia sensation was
caused today by the announcement
that August Hermann, president of
the Cincinnati club will resign as chair
man of the National baseball commits
sion. Baseball men now here are try
ing to prevail on Mr.. Hermann to re-
consider. He says he is through with
the national commission, however.
The minor leagues are particularly
anxious for Hermann not to resign,
but if he insists they say they want
York National league team to succeed
him. An effort will also be made to
have minor league representation on
the commission in which event either
George Tebeau or Howard Grif7ths and
Pat Powers, may be admitted to the
commission.
