cinched for several weeks before the
end of the National season, and the con-
sequence was that they became dead
and listless. On the other hand the
Americans had to fight to the bitter end
to land their rag, and they had no cinch
until two days before the last. In con-
sequence of this fact, they were keyed
up until the very end. When the Ameri-
cans and the Nationals met, therefore,
the former were dead while the latter
were very live There is the reason why
the Nationals lost. But l have tried to
be a game loser, and have no 'holler
to make. l wish the Americans all the
fortune in the world
Miss Gish did not see tile championship

game Captain Ch;nce telegraphed her
the result, adding to each message as

Lawyers Think County Court Dockets
Are Too Congested.

Admission, December 3l.-(Special.) 1.-The
Admission Bar association held a--sneet-
ing in the city court room of the court
house this morning at 10 o'clock for the
purpose of arranging for legislation to
amend the present statutes concerning
the city and circuit court, as well as
other matters.
II is the idea of some of the local law
yers to have longer jury terms of the
city court. and help to dispense of the
crowded docket, and for the circuit court
they want city court practice in that the
pleadngs of cases can be settled during
the non-jury term. and much time can be
gained in the Jury term.

go PER CENT LOSS BY DECAY

Washington, December 31.-(Special.)-
One of the biggest expenses connected
with mining is found in the mine tim
bers used to support the various gang
ways Their destruction by decay and
breaking costs many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars annually. and in some
cases the loss of human life. Mine opera
tors are fully familiar with these losses
They know also that the seasoning and
the preservative treatment of timber add
IN its life in service in the mine. But it
has only recently been established by ex-
pertinent that effective seasoning and
treating with creosote, carbolinium and
zinc Chord as wood preservatives can be
secured at a cost so slight in propor-
ton to the greatly increased life of the
props as to effect material saving. The
experiment carried on during the past few
months by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company, at its collerles
near Pottsville. Pa, under the direction
of a member of the forest service, has re-
suited in an economy which demonstrates
that the preservation of mine props can
be put on firm commercial basis.
I'm the loss of mine timbers at least 50
per cent are destroyed by decay and the
remainder are crushed. The percentage
charged to decay should be even higher,
because many of the timbers which break
have already been weakened by decay.
Decay is probably the cause of rs per cent
of all failures in mine timbers.
Decay in props is principally caused by
Notwithstanding fungi. Warm. moist air,
together with certain gases always found
in mines greatly favors the development
of these fungi. Ventilation is an enormous
factor Timber in the vicinity of shafts
and slopes where there is abundance of
fresh air lasts longer than that deeper
in the mines. The variation of moisture
and temperature within mines Is SO wide
that timbers may decay in eight months
or may last several years. Timbers that
are constantly wet or constantly dry last
longer than those subjected to an alter
nation of these conditions.

ira clerk in the office.
Then 1t voted $4,000 for the next
period more than the present period

account Of my request for more as

THE chief clerk and the third clerk

GOVERNOR WON'T
PLAY POLITICS

II am probably more surprised than
anyone else" Governor Carter said
yesterday. "at the intimatlon that
there was any promise. or indication
OF an agreement. on my part. with any
member OF the Legislature to sign any
bill other than that which I stated IN
my message on the original leper bill,
which was advised abolished all seq
regation except that which was vol
untary.
LAS understand the law the Legis-
lature is not supposed to act on veto
-as the common phrase has it-but
to reconsider bill that has been
vetoed and to do so forthwith. There
is nothing in the Organic Act to au-
thorize the Legislature to defer action
on veto, thus making 1t possible to
hold over vetoed bills to the last days
of the session and then play politics
with the Governor. 1 decline to play
politics with the Legislature. UNDER
stand the Legislature consists of three
divisions-the Senate, the House and
the Governor.
II should be glad to have this ques-
ton of holding up bills so into the
courts for settlement. 1t is not be-
cause was opposed to the Senate or
to the House that l did not sign the
license money bill, but because I think
1t sound thing to have inns question

had no understanding that am aware
of with the House.
by the apportionment of revenue In
the County Act one-half of the revenue
was distributed among the counties IN
accordance with their respective
wealth as shown by their taxation. For
Oahu that included the income tax
paid here of corporations having their
property in other counties.
1T appeared to the other counties as
IL they were not getting their just dues
from the fact that the income taxes
from their jurisdictions were paid into
Oahu Thus there arose a contention
between the counties in which the Ter
ritory was not Interested, and this re-
suited In a bill which went through
whereby Oahu surrendered the revenue
from the income of other counties.
Then to make good Oahus loss they |
proceeded to take 1t out of the Terri
tory"

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
To SCHOOL CHILDREN

Superintendent OF Public Instruction
has given out for publication the fol-
lowing circular letter from President
Roosevelt to the school children OF
America.
To the School Children of the United
States:
Arbor Day (Which means simply
Tree Day') Is now observed In every
State in our Union-and mainly In the
schools. At various times from jan
uary to December, but chiefly In this
month of April. you give day or part
of day to special exercises and per-
haps to actual tree planting. In recog-
milton OF the Importance of trees to us
as a Nation, and of what they yield In
adornment, comfort and useful prod
ucts to the communities i'm which you
live.
1t is well that you should celebrate
your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for with
in your lifetime the Nations need of
trees will become serious. We OF an
older generation can get along with
what we have, though with growing
hardship: but in your full manhood
and womanhood you will want what
nature once so bountifully supplied
and man so thoughtlessly destroyed;
and because of that want you will re-
