TWO MATCHES PLAYED
Interesting Departmental

results in both instances remaining unset

night the State Department met the Inter

Of which were won by the diplomats. There

hopes of chalking up another victory TO
their credit, thus scoring tie.
Wednesday night the experts from the
Department of Agriculture played their
second match of the season, their oppo-
nents being the Navy contingent. When the
smoke of battle cleared away each team
was found to have annexed a score of 21a.

advantage at time of adjournment appeared
to rest with the champion from Secretary
Bonaparte's establishment, It is probable
that the game in question will finally grace
the Navy score-board.
Should this happen, the farmers will go
down to their first defeat of the season.
The match played Wednesday night was
the closest and best conducted which has

e. p. Hanna of the Navy Department
made his first appearance at this session
and scored neat victory over his op-

latter made gallant showing however,
against heavy odds, having been forced into
an awkward position early in the game,
from which he was able to extricate him

strengthened by the acquisition of ODen-
nell. and they expect TO put up a stiff fight
against their opponents when the two teams
meet.
The bowlers of the various leagues of

From all appearances it looks as If the
next meeting of the bowling congress will
be held In Philadelphia, as the Quaker boys
are being given the support OF most all
OF the eastern cities to have the congress
meet In that city. Other cities that are
working for the tournament are Detroit

bowlers seem to have the best chance

Strengthening the Team.

The team captains report a number of
additions to their ranks, in players who
for various reasons We're unable to come
forward at an earlier date In this man
ner several of the clubs will be materially
strengthened
Based upon experience gained In actual
play. Encouragement of the men has also
In some instances been found necessary.
This, 1t is believed, will increase the effi-
cheney OF the teams affected, and enable
them in future to meet their opponents on
a more equal basis. In the earlier matches
the captains of several teams We're hanfli-
capped by a lack of knowledge of the reIa-
tive strength of opposing players, and often
of their own men. 1t was consequently
difficult to properly pair the contestants
at the various boards, the result being that
a strong player was often pitted against a
weak adversary at time when his services
were badly needed in another direction
Worthy of Imitation.
The Agricultural team Is one of the best
managed In the league. Its captain, Mr..
Roberts. is capable and energetic and wide
awake to the interests of his club. The
players meet at their captains home on
certain specified evenings to practice the
game and invent new methods of check
mating their opponents, an example which
might well be followed by some of the
other clubs.
Among the prominent chess players of
this city who are members of clubs In the
league are Mr.. vladimir Seurnin of Interior
A, present chess champion of the District;
Mr.. f. B. Walker of Interior B. former
District champion; Major w. r. Lowe. War

COLLECTOR CHAMBERLAIN
BEGINS ANOTHER TERM
APPROVED WASH
INGTON BUREAU DEPUTY
COMMISSIONER WHEELER, EXCELLENT CON-
DITIoN-BoND
DITION-BOND FOR 100000.

Roy H. Chamberlain's term as Col
lector of Internal Revenue for the Dis
trict of Hawaii expired today as far
as internal revenue collectors terms
can be said to expire, and he was Civ
en- a reappointment in the shape of an
approval of his accounts and of his
new bond for the coming four years. In
the internal revenue department, APP
pointments of collectors are not for any
set term, as in other departments, but
the collectors are required tp furnish
a bond goou for four years and at the
end of that time, if they are to contin-
ue in office, their accounts are checked
up and they supply a new bond and
start all over again. This is what was
done this morning I'm Chamberlain's
case, the bond being approved this
morning in Washington and the ac-
dPunts here checked up by j. c. Wheel
en- Deputy Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, who arrived here yesterday
from Washington.
Commissioner Wheeler this morning
stated that the accounts appeared to
be in excellent shape. In fact matters
were so we'll kept in the records, he
stated, that about all there was to do
was to count the revenue stamps and
see that they were really in the safe as
shown by the books. The commission
er said that his Investigations of the
office had shown that Collector Cham
berlain had things in excellent shape,
and he complimenred Deputy Couzins
and assistants on the condition in
which the books and accounts were
found. There are offices with less
business than this one" said Commits
sioner Wheeler, Sin which we have
much more trouble in checking up"
Chamberlains bond is for 100000, Of
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-07-15

which $4,000 is given as collector of in
ternal revenue and $4,000 as dsburs-
ing officer of the department. His last
bond expired today, and according to
the rules of the department, all the
office accounts and cash must be
checked up and closed, just as if the
department was to be handed over To
another man. The new bond was sent
to Washington some time ago and was
approved and accepted today and
Chamberlain begins another four years
The bond of 100000 is regarded as
more than the amount of business
which the local office is at present
handling, but the department does not
take a collectors bond of less than $50
600. 1t is believed that within a short
time there will be a great increase in
the business here, as a number of par
ties are figuring on starting distilleries
to use okolehao and the plantation
waste products.
"A great success has been made in
other Places" said Commissioner
Wheeler, with the use of waste prod
ucts of sugar plantations, and doubt
less now that the way is open here.
there will be efforts to do the same as
elsewhere. 1 should not be surprised to
see a large increase in the business of
the office in Hawaii"
This is the deputy commissioners
first visit to Hawaii. He left Washing
ton at the same time that the Taft
party did. His work here was practl-
cally finished today Ihe bureau being
turned over again to Chamberlain, and
he will have a couple of days for sight
seeing, after which he will return on
the Alameda. Commissioner Wheeling
was one of the guests at the Taft
luncheon yesterday,
