came the time when 1 got Sharkey into
a corner and he couldn't get away.
There was q neat little purse of $4,000
up for that mill, and 1 thought 1t was
mighty useful money. Anyway,
counted 1t as good as mine and the
wake-up was all the worse when 1t
came.
We drifted into the ring that night
out In Frisco, and the house looked
mighty good to me. saw a lot of men
knew, and come of them wagged the
finger at me to show they had bit on,
and counted 1t already spent. That
made me feel a little bit better, and
commenced to wonder about this ref
cree they had selected. never was
much of a stickler for referees. Any
man that looked right to me was plenty
good enough, and though I'd heard
something about the chap, Wyatt carp,
1 didn't take much account Of what
they said about him.
One fellow leaned over the ring as
loafed In the corner and said:
Job to Do Him
There is job out to do you, Bob, IL
they have to kill you to get away with
1t. Watch out for the gun"
And then some one dragged him off
the ropes, and I didn't get the rest. I
didn't pay much attention to 1t, any
way, because 1 never believed I was
going to be shaken down like a come
on, and the tip the chap handed me
faded away.
When Sharkey came into the ring and
we walked over to this boy Earp, I
took good look at him. He didn't look
crooked to me, though he had a sort Of
set eye that read like 1t wouldn't
stand for any argument.
When he talked he made 1t pretty
plain that what he said had to go, and
I guess both Sharkey and myself felt
we'd be as good as pair of Sunday
school lads.
Well. nearly everyone knows how tha
fight went. I had the sailor gassing
about for seven rounds, and I was get
ting ready to hand him the wallop that
would put him down in dreamland.
That solar plexus punch was coming
along towards my way of thinking, and
when the eighth was going along we'll,
/ just stepped in and handed it to
Tom. He went down as If he'd been
hit with pile driver, and then he
began to act.
1t wasn't SO much real acting though
es a lot Of folks think. That punch
hurt him, because he got it where and
when he wasn't looking for it, and then
I got the jolt OF my life.
Toms seconds hoped into the ring
and claimed the foul, and I was laugh
ing at the way they were going to get
fooled, when this lad carp stood up
and handed me mine.
Allows Foul
He allowed the foul and gave the
fight to Sharkey. I'm not a quick
mover, as far as the brain is con-
cerned, and perhaps I didn't think it
was as bad as 1t was
Anyhow, by the time I got 1t into

LATE SHERIFF ANDREWS
RELEASED FROM JAIL

L. A. Andrews, former Sheriff of Ha-
waii, for little while yesterday Ian
guished in Hilo Jail. He was released
under a wireless telegram sent late IN
the afternoon. following the issuance
of a temporary writ Of prohibition,
addressed to Circuit Judge C. F. Par
sons, by the Supreme Court.
The imprisonment of Mr.. Andrews
was for default of payment of fine
of $50 for contempt of court, Judge
Parsons having refused to entertain his
appeal from the sentence for contempt.
1t was the climax of a series of dras-
tie orders made by the Judge of the
Fourth Judicial Circuit, which he will
have an opportunity OF justifying be-
fore the Supreme Court on Friday the

CARS RUN TOO FAST
Attorney General Brings Proceedings Cnars-
ing Speed Limit Has Seen Exceeded and

today with the probable result that
the public will be greatly inconvenience

because, by strict adherence to sched-

for the cars to reach terminal points.
For instance, it is said that the cars
that have heretofore run to the Homo

than the naval docks under the new

Beretania street cars can make the
Pawaa connection. The Nuuanu street
cars, also, will not be able to reach
King street. and so Will be stopped at
the switch on upper Fort street, and
it is likewise possible that these cars
will not be able to reach the upper ter
minal on Nuuanu street.

The value of the / 1-2 inch stuff, how
ever, has been taken out of the bill
brought against the Territory. All
the lumber was inspected here by a
representative of the Pacific Coast
Lumber Association. Mr.. Wilmington
said he had witnesses to substautiate
his statements.
The original specifications were of
the kind which prevail in wharf con-
tracts on the coast, but for the second
bid the specifications were needlessly
changed, so that the bids went up to
$57 900 Their original bid had been
$37 900. Instead of merchantable lum-
Der, the second call for bids called for
Especial lumber. AS to the bids,
the lowest new bid had not been ac-
cepted.
The cargo of lumber has been thrown
back upon their hands without any
fault of the company.
MIR. THURsToN HEARD.
L. A. Thurston wished to explain
why they came to the Legislature in
stead of the courts. They were help
less to go to the court. There is moth
ing to prevent the Territory to call for
any kind of method for building the
wharf They could call for brick or
concrete wharf. The Territory did call
for merchantable lumber. That has
been changed. 'Merchantable lum-
ber is the kind that has always been
used here, as well as on the coast. The
same with copper. Heretofore it was
1S-ounce. Therefore it is an injustice
to change to 20-ounee, although the
Territory can do so if it wants to. I'm

to the Legislature.
MIR. GILMAN CALLED.
Mr.. Gilman, manager of the H.-A.
L. q c. Co.. was then called. He told
of the making of the contract. He
did not know there was ANYTHING
wrong with it. The company pulled up
the old wharf. The supplies We're ca
bled for to Mr.. Amweg at San Fran
cisco as soon as the contract was sign
ed. The company has never received
any pay for what it has done. The
company had expended in cash on the
contract $2.S57.49. The total value of
the material bought and remaining on
hand, was S2l.944.S6. A bare contrac
tors profit on the whole job would be
but 10 Der cent.
The lumber arrived on the schooner
Irene. and it was inspected by Mr..
Whiteside. The value of the cargo
was $16.SS4. When the specifications
were changed the entire supplies on

Mr.. Prosser at this time asked if
Mr.. Gilman codld not file a written
statement of the changes alleged, and
he would file a copy of the original

TANNHAUSER READING.
Miss Daisy RowIey's Entertainment
 Drew a Large Crowd.

The Cable company's large recital hall was filled to its capacity last night on the occasion of Miss Daisy Rowley s analytical reading on the story of Tam hauser" and the musical recital illustra- tive of the opera.
 Before the reading there were sew eral numbers, including Evening Star. ' admirably sung by MT. Friermood. The programme closed with "Elizabeth' E Prayer" sung by Miss Norma Scholar, in that artists best style. Others taking part included Miss Estelle Nabb and MT Grambs.
 The lecture read by Miss Rowley gave a comprehensive idea of the old German legend on which Wagner based his opera, and was listened to with rapt attention.
 That the entertainment was highly en- joyed was made clear by the generous applause at the end.
 Tonight Mir. Damn Petersen, assisted by Miss Lena Jackson and others, will give lecture recital on "Tannhauser" at the Allen school for the benefit of the Free Kindergarten association.
