The second game of the day was
supposed to be played by the I'm
knowns and the Junior Stars, but
proved somewhat of a disappoint-
ment inasmuch the Unknowns
were not in good working order while
the Junior Stars, the crack team of
youngsters from Wailuku were in
good trim and their team work
so excellent that after the latter
had piled up twelve runs in four
innings, the game was called.

Lahaina Opens the Season.

Lahaina was the busiest town on
Maui last Sunday; and to many of
the old timers it reminded them of
the "good old days" when Lahaina
was the seat of government and the
offing was full of whaling ships.
All this hustle and activity was
caused by the announcement that
Lahaina had done what the other
towns of Maui were only thinking
about, but had failed to do; or
ganize ball league.
Bus load after bus load of en-
thusiasts from Wailuku and Kahu-
lui were to be seen vending their
way Lahainaward in the wee small
hours of daylight, so that with the
thirty OR more from central Maui
together with those of west Maui
something like four or five hundred
people were gathered at Kilohana
park in the afternoon to witness
the opening contest between the
Pioneers and the Ilimas.
And it was a battle royal from
start to finish, and so hotly was

lature who enacted the county bill,
which | certainly had nothing to
do with, having vetoed it, do not
appear to repose confidence in it
and are making Territorial appro.
priations for some of their
counties"
The governor was asked what
would be the situation if the legisla-
ture made appropriations based on
the county act and then adjourned,
if the county act was subsequently,
knocked out. He replied that the
situation would probably be the
same as two years ago, when an
extra session was found necessary.
1t was possible however, that this
might be avoided by using the
old appropriations, under the
theory that the legislature, aftey
being once called in extra session
to make appropriations had failed
to do so.

County Act Will Fail

The political pot on Maui has
commenced to boil, and the IN
dications are that there will be
something doing along about
June 20, if the "gold brick"
County Act is decided by the Su-
preme Court to be legal. Things
are decidedly warm in Wailuku.
The fusionists-the Democratic
Home Rulers-are com bining on
nominees, and while their primar-
les have been held separately
they endorsed the same probable
candidates for the various Offices.
On the Republican side there
are four candidates for sheriff
two who are willing to accept the
Office Of County Clerk; two for
Auditor; two for Treasurer, and
Two for County Attorney.
It's too early as yet to attempt
to predict who will be the choice
for supervisor from this district,
although three have signified
their willingness to serve If en-
dorsed by the precinct club.
At the meeting held last Satur-
day evening it was decided that
the voting for delegates to-day
should be between the hours of
three and eight p. m. With the
exceptlonlof the Seventh, Tenth
and Fifteenth precincts, who will
nominate and elect tonight, all
of the precinct clubs held their
meetings last Saturday to nomin'
ate delegates to be elected TO-
night and who will attend the
County Convention for Maui
County to be held at Wailuku on
May goth.
In the Third precinct there will
probably be only the one ticket
with the following as delegates
G.. H. Dunn, VIM. Henning, S
Kapu, G. r. Lindsay, j. j. New
combe, j. REGARD and F.. Waia

choice would be W. L. Decoto
and Mr.. Decoto would go in with
flying colors, but for business
reasons he declines to allow his
name to be used, so that the mat
ter lies between William Hennins
and George Dunn. The Thirt
will support G. R. Lindsay TO

the barriers raised to investigation be- came more determined and effectual. But as Secretary Hitchcock and Attor- ney General Knox came to appreciate the extent of the land frauds, they de cided to have more legal aid, and Fran cis J. Heney, one of the ablest criminal lawyers of the Pacific coast, was secured to look after the Oregon end of the cases. And here is where Senator Mitchell and others of the big fry come in, and right here is one of the most interesting and startling portions of the lands fraud story. When the grand jury had been summoned and a vigor- ous investigation begun, Attorney Heney tried to induce Senator Mitchell to go to Oregon from Washington as a witness. but this he at first refused to do. But when he was informed that matters were becoming serious for him and Hermann, they both started for the west.
 Startling Developments.
 But if the grand jury could not get hold of Senator Mitchell as witness, it could and did secure his law partner. Judge A. H. Tanner, and the develop ments resulting from his testimony,

THE $|0O,OOO MAN
SOMETHING OF CAREER OF HoK
 AGE GREELEY BURT.
The Man Selected as Chief of Opera tions on the Panama Canal-Ques-sSs \ tion Whether Organized La-
 bor Will Approve.

Horace Greeley Burt, regarded by la boring circles as the hardest man in the railroad business to turn from his aims, and known throughout the coun- try as the presidents $100,000 man, is at the present time right in line for the position of chief of operations on. the. Panama canal. Burt derives his queer title from the fact that Presi-J dent Roosevelt, in his search for a man who possesses the qualifications necessary for the head of such an en- terprise. has offered the enormous sum of $10O,000 per year as the salary con-' nected with the office.
 The announcement that Horace c. Burt is to be the man to occupy the. coveted position comes as a rather surprising incident in the series of surprises which have marked the de- velopments in relation to the canal work. With the knowledge that he

the keen work of the detective and the subsequent confession of Judge Tanner are almost tragic in their bearing. While Tanner refused to produce the partnership books kept by the firm of Mitchell and Tanner. on the ground that it might incriminate him, he did pro- duce partnership agreement. dated 1901. that on its face appeared to be genuine.
 But Mir. Burns thought differently. To make long story short. the clever detective noted that the agreement was written on paper which bore the water mark of Edinample. The books of the firm showed that the first Edinample bond paper purchase had been made on March 30. 1903. almost three years subsequent to the writing of their origi- nal partnership agreement. Burns also noted that the document had been writ ten on typewriter using black rib bon. and investigation proved that dur ing the period between 1901 and 1905 green and purple ribbons had been used. and that black was used for the first time in December. 1904. It was discovered also that the profits of the concern were divided equally between Mitchell and Tanner. and that a clause in the original partnership agreement read: That all moneys received from practicing before the department at Washington was to be the exclusive profits of John H. Mitchell" while in the agreement presented before the grand jury the name of Tanner ap- peared in the place of Mitchelrs. Misspelled words in the agreement fur nished a clew. and Tanners son in a test before the grand jury misspelled those same words. and finally admitted that he had written the agreement in December. 1904. Judge Tanner was now called before the grand jury again. and persisted in his former statement that the agreement was genuine. and the grand jury promptly indicted him for perjury. Later. it is said. he made a confession to Burns. duplicating Mitchell in the fraud.
 The "Burn- n-without-Fail- Letter.
 In the meantime Harry C. Robertson. the private secretary of Senator Mitchell. at Washington. had been subpoenaed as a witness by the goy- ernment. and on his arrival at Port land was immediately taken by Mir. Burns before the grand jury. It was believed that he was carrying an i'm portant letter from Mitchell 10 Tanner. and this letter was demanded by the jury. and reluctantly surrendered. Here was the most sensational bit of evidence yet produced The letter was widely published at the time of it's dis covery. but this article would not be complete without quoting a portion of the document to which Senator Mitchell had appended the solemn admonition:
 Burn this without fail:

 An Important Arrest.
 Benson was immediately arrested and taken before the United States commissioner. He gave bonds for $5.0O0, but defaulted and skipped to New York, where he was again ar rested and where he has been fighting the removal proceedings ever since. The case has at last reached the United States supreme court, from which a decision is expected soon.
 How Clerks Were Bribed.
 And now just word here as to the skillful way in which the clerks in the general land office at Washington and the special agencies in the western states were approached and finally con- pletely brought under the control of the unprincipled land sharks. One of the conspirators would call upon them and ask for ordinary information that had
