was certainly nothing to be proud Of.
The Lahainas. at great expense, had
secured the services OF j. Laing of

him over $4,000 for the season, they
got gold-bricked. AS a catcher he has
anything in the islands beat to a fin

TOOK NO STOCK
IN BRAIN STORM

A jury in Judge Lindsay's court yes
tsrday found that ]. Amasiu was en-
| titled to $500 damages from William
Mahuka, for false arrest. The verdict
came after trial that by reason Of
Interruptions and the fact that most
of the witnesses were examined through
interpreters, lasted four days.
Amasiu Is cornet player in the Ha-
waiian band. Mahuka owns part Of
the proposed Mahuka site for the Fed
eral building. They have been neigh
bors on Kukui street for years.
On the night of the day that the
steamship Ohio excursionists visited
Moanalua, Amasiu, after having played
in two concerts, went to bed leaving
two friends seated in conversation in
his parlor. After a time he was
awakened by hearing pistol shot from
the next house. Soon after this one
of the friends went home and the other
also retired to bed.
About two or three o'clock in the
morning both Amasiu and his friend
were awakened by a policeman rapping
on the door, and they were informed
that Mahuka charged them with at
tempting to kill him. They We're taken
to the police station in the patrol wagon
and kept there until morning when
Sheriff Iaukea after hearing their story
released them.
In defense OF Mahuka 1t was attempt
ed to be shown that he was suffering
from brain storm due TO delirium
tremens. There was evidence In con-
tradiction of this and apparently the
jury did not believe II for they were |
charged by Judge Lindsay that IL they
did believe 1t they were TO find for tlS
defendant.

WITHDRAWAL OF
MAHUKA SITE

Acting Governor Atkinson virtually
put an end 20 the prospects VI the to-
lection OF the Mahuka site tor the
Federal Building Wednesday afternoon
when he wrote TO President shlngle CT
the Waterhouse Trust Co.. demanding
that. In accordance with his agreement
with Governor Carter. he Withdraw tho
Mahuka site from the consideration Of
the Treasury Department.
The action of the Governor came at
time when the matter OF final set
Element was under way. The Union
Feed Co.. with whom the final consid-
Grafton lay. held a meeting yesterday
morning and decided to meet again to-
day, when they would make final de-
cision, which. from good authority,
is said very likely to be favorable. The
meeting will probably be held and the
result communicated to Governor At
kinson, regardless of the fact that his
letter has been received by the Water
house Trust Co.
As soon as the Mahuka site Is with.
drawn 1t is likely that the Treasury De-
partment will make a choice of one OF
the other sites which were offered. The
choice seems to lie between the Bishop
site, opposite the Young Hotel and the
Irwin site on Palace Square. The only
objection to the Bishop site seems to be
that the Federal authorities want a
sufficiently broad strip OF land to allow
of vacant space at least forty feet in
width all around the building. as a
protection against fire. This will be
hard to get on the Bishop property.
This rule has been more than ever in.
sisted on since the saving Of the Mint
at the time of the San Francisco earth
quake when the fire limit mentioned
was of the greatest assistance in keep
ing the building intact while other
other structures, not similarly pro-
tected, were completely destroyed by
the flames.
The letter from Acting Governor At
kinson reads as follows:
Trust Co., Ltd, r. W.
Single, President.
Sir: beg leave to notify you that
Messrs l.. A. Thurston, Charles r.
and Alexander Lindsay, Jr.,

NEW PLANS FOR
KAHULU| HARB0R

The dredging of the harbor at Kahu,
lui and the building of the breakwater
at that point are going on rapidly and
Will be completed according to the plans
which have been determined on, within
the next three months and half The
plans have been considerably altered
from the original ones and the work
has been increased in some ways and
made easier in others.
The result of experience with the
breakwater, which has now been ex-
tended 1900 feet, has shown that it will
be better to anchor the big vessels
which come in to Kahului about 1000
feet from the shore instead of trying
to bring them directly up to the docks,
as was intended in the original plans.
The idea of dredging the whole. har-
Dor has been given UP temporarily.
1t is expected that assistance in this
work will be obtained from Congress
in the near future and that further
work will be taken up by the Govern
ment, instead of by private enterprise.
During the recent visit of the Com
gressional party to this Territory. the
matter Of Government assistance was
taken up and the support of some of
the most influential members here was
enlisted as soon as they saw what is
needed. In speaking of this matter |
Walter Dillingham;, of the Hawaiian |
Dredging Co., which is doing the work |
at Kahului, said:
while the Congressional party was
here, took up the matter OF further
improvements in Kahului with Mr.. Da-
u ytn To,
deal of influence in the Committee ON
Rivers and Harbors. He looked over
the work which had been done while
the party was in Kahului and stated
that he was greatly surprised to see
what the company had done without
any aid from the Government. He
stated that he thought the improves
ments were badly needed and that
there would be but little difficulty in
obtaining assistance from the Federal
Government to complete the work.
| What he said he would work for
Y the matter was properly presented in
Congress, was a lighthouse, to be
placed at the end of the breakwater,
,n American Girl Rock, so called on
account of the fact that the ship Amer
can Girl was wrecked at that point;
he extension of the breakwater to that
point and the dredging of the harbor
10 that large vessels might go directly
o the wharves.
Mr.. Davidson stated that he had
lever seen work which had been taken
Up in such a degree by a private cor
'oration without a request for govern
mental aid and that he thought It
hould be pushed ahead, as in his opin-
on the expense was fully warranted

SPORTS
PROGRAM FOR
JUNE ELEVENTH

A meeting Of the playing members
of the Oahu Polo Club was held yes
terday afternoon at Moanalua between
periods of the practise play.
1t was decided that the club should
have other sports beside the regular
game on June IL. Robert W. Single
was appointed committee of one to
attend to all arrangements for a water
melon and potato race. The water
melon race furnished more actual
amusement than any other event at the
cowboy show last year and there is no
reason why it should not be as amusing
this year.
The potato race will also prove very
interesting. The different contestants
have to start from given point and
race to where the potatoes are laid
out in rows. Each potato has to be
speared and carried back to the judges
stand. The rider first getting his full
number of spuds back to the judges
is the winner. Horsemanship and abil-
ity to stick a potato promptly will
win in this event.
w. Il. Dillingham; was appointed a
ladies' riding event, the complete de-
tails of which will. be given out at
later date.
Yesterday s game was well contested
and as usual the score was a tie, viz: |
%, at the end of the last period
This is the fourth or fifth time the |
"Bays" and the "Greys" have tied
in the last half dozen games. Consid-
10 olrxy OF bat M |
teams.
The Bays will probably line up as
follows for the Eleventh Of June:
@. H. Cooke, No. l; R. w. Single,
No. 2; w. Macfarlane, No. 3; w. +.
Dillingham;, No. 4.
The Greys team will be:
w. d. Baldwin, No. /; G. B. Denison,
No. 2; Z. II. Lewis or A. Clough, No.
3; ]. l.. Fleming, No. 4.
The grounds at Moanalua are in fine
condition and have just been moved off
quite short SO the ball travels rapidly
and far when hit.
The public which always wants to
see good pony races will get their
moneys worth on the Eleventh with
out any shade of doubt, and the ex-
hibition that day will be as scientific

islands.
Owing to the Sunday school picnic
at Punahou, the directors have decided
to make the game as late as possible
in order to let as many as possible ,,
take in both the picnic and the polo
1t is to be hoped that the public will
patronize this game as well as possible
as the club has been at an unusually
heavy expense this year owing to the
increased cost of horse feed which is
now almost double what it was only I
two years ago.

and oiling all the Moanalua roads and a
