CARTER DOES NOT
Want hUUAhU PARK

Governor Carter has expressed his
disapproval of the scheme to set aside
the Queen Emma Nuuanu property for
a park, in thcfollowing letter on the
subject:
Executive Chamber, Honolulu. ila-
wall, September 4, 1906.
p. Higgins, Esq, Secretary Upper Nuu-
anu improvement Club.
Dear Sir: In response to the reso-
luti0ns passed by your club on August
9Th. beg to say that do not approve
Of the setting aside rs public park of
the Hanaiakamalama pi emises, for the
following reasons:
First. Public parks are for the re-
lief Of thickly populated districts,
where the congestion Is such that the
residents do not have breathing spaces;
Second. The taxpayers are contrib
uting ut present about all they can
stand and this Is not sufficient Ia
properly take care of all those areas
that are already parked.
Very sincerely yours,
(Sgd.) G. II. CARTER. Governor.

The Sullivan WEIGH fight has put
Honolulu fight mad, and just now the
public is clamoring for more bouts.
Just at the present time there does not
seem to be good card in sight. Welch
Is entirely out Of II and will go home
as soon as he can get there. II is quite
likely that he will take the next Ala
media.
A lad by the name of Mcllvrain was
out to see Sullivan fight Welch and he
claims that he is Sullivan's master.
Absolutely nothing Is known of this
fighter with the exception that he is of
the transport. Before a match Is
made between he and Sullivan, Me
ilvrain will be tried out. II would
not do to spring some dub on the pub
lie just at this stage of the game.
To be right in line and up to date
McFadden and Sullivan will do box
ing turn at the Zoo. This Is the proper
thing for fighters these days and Nc
Fadden and Sullivan are not behind
the times.
Silva added victory to his record
the other day and put out some poor
old fellow VINO did not know how 10
put mp his hands. The bout was held
rs a try-out for the new man.

No JUNIOR RACE

The Rowing Association met last
evening and was presided over by A.
l.. G.. Atkinson, After much discus
sion 1t was decided to do away with
the Junior siN-oared sliding-seat barge
race. The Healani crew has no boat
in which to practice and this is mainly
the cause for such action. And then
Oarsmen are not as numerous as they
have been at past times. Mr.. Atkin-
son thought that the omission or this
race would cause the Healani club to
get together and make some provision
TO get boat for future use. The
Myrtle club thought II was a bad idea
to give up this event but ii could not
be helped.
Both the japanese tug -ofwar and the
sampan races will be cut out and ar
rangements will be made to pull of the
events with more snap. The commit
tee will try TO handle the events so
chat the AFFAIR will be over early in the
afternoon.
a crew Of IIawaiians from Kailua
will be brought over to compete in the
canoe race. Prince Kalanianaole dis
covered this crew and claims that they
will make the local lads hustle to de-
feat them. The expense Of bringing
this crew to Honolulu will be stood by
the association.
The program as arranged Is as fol-
lows:
Six-oared stationary seat gigs, spoon
oars barred: straight ash oars instead.
Six-oarcd Senior sllding-scat bargos
Second-class yachts.
First-class yachts.
SiX-oarcd Freshmen sliding seat

W. j. BRYAN'S
TOUR SOUTH.
Nebraskan on Political Marcel
Through Georgia Democratic
Dollar Banquet.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 21.-For one
hour and fifteen minutes w. ]. Bryan
addressed about 1000 people gathered
at the skating rink of the Ponce de
Leon park. His reception was cordial
and hearty
Ihe principal events of the day were
the address by Mr.. Bryan and a Dem
ocratic dollar dinner attended by 400
citizens. Mrs. Bryan was the guest Of
the society women OF Atlanta at sew
eral functions more or less formal.
The party boarded their car at mid
night, leaving for Birmingham, going
thence to Jackson, Miss.
Mr.. Bryan began his address after
an Introduction by President Lamar
Hill of the Young Mems Democratic
league and by Judge Reuben Arnold,
both of whom referred to Mr.. Bryan
as the next president. He said he
wished he could enter into the appre-
citation of the prophecy with which he
had been introduced, but the expert
ence of past years, he said, took away
something of the warmth of such APP
probation. Prophecy, he declared, is
half wish and half environment. He
was not sure but that he would be hap
pier as a private citizen than as a
holder of office, but he did not purpose
to await election to do his best for
Democracy. Georgia Democracy, he
declared, was so pure and so sure that
he felt it almost wasting time to try
to strengthen it. Democracy, he add
ed, is having rapid growth, even Re-
publicans appreciate this and find it
not only respectable. but popular.
Mr.. Bryan discussed the things for
which he asserted President Roosevelt
had drawn his inspiration from Dem
ocratic principles. His attack on trusts,
undertaken but not carried far enough,
said Mr.. Bryan, the settling of a great
strike, the passage of the railroad rate
law by Democratic aid in congress
Democratic inspiration.
'In my travels" he concluded. 81

MAY HAVE To DIVIDE
WITH MUNICIPALITIES

TRENTON, Sept. 21.-Governor
Stokes yesterday appointed Joseph
II. McGraw, of Madison; A. b. Leach,
South Orange, and Assemblyman AL
fred N. Barber, of Trenton, as mem
bers of a committee provided for by
the last Legislature to investigate and
report to the next legislature the fea-
sibility of a law providing for a di-
vision of profits of public utility cor
porations between such companies
and the municipalities in which the
utilities are operated.
II is expected that if the commits
sion reports favorably on such a law,
the latter may be passed next winter,
providing the legislature is control
led by the Colby republicans, who
made such Il strong fight last year for
limited franchises and equal tax leg
islation. If the republican machine
is in power there is not much chance
of the proposed legislation going
through.

FOOTPAD
SLABS BOY OF SIX.

NORTH PLAINFIELD, Sept. IL
Walter Watson, colored, nine years
old, of Warren street, armed with a
pocket knife, pounced upon Joseph
Pitts, six years old, of Chatham
street, Wednesday afternoon, and de-
manded 81 which he knew the little
fellow had in his possession. The
Pitts boy is deaf and dumb, but he
realized the nature of young Wat
sons action, and tried to run home.
The youthful highwayman .jabbed the
knife against young Pitts cheek, in
ficting a bad cash just below the
right eye, causing him to drop the
money from pain and fright and to
fall on the sidewalk.
Watson caught up the "a and fed
TO Plainfield, with the idea of blow
ing it in. The victim was carried
home. Watson was picked up in
Plainfield and locked up, being re-
leased yesterday. He is too young to
be sent to the reformatory but will
be placed in some institution. He is
the son of Rev. James Watson, who is
now serving a twenty-year sentence
for killing James Christopher in
Warren street last fall.
