the avowed object being to combat the

1t is, however, stated that the War office
is not particularly pleased with the move
ment, the feeling being that IT is not the
emperor's wish that the officers should
embark upon a course of political pedagogy,

Senator Millard appealed to the commits
sion to order a hearing at Omaha in order
that the mass Of evidence now in the

KOREANS. FIELD
DAY POSTPONED

The local Koreans were to have had
field day on New Years Day, but ii
fell through on account of the
weather
Their athletic ground is on Punch
bowl street, between Beretania avenue
and Hotel street, and some very cred
liable performances take place there.
Ewing, the athletic Tenth Infantry
man. coaches the Koreans once or
twice a week and Rev. j. w. Wadman
does all in his power to lead the sons of
the Morning Calm along the paths of
more strenuous life than they are want
to follow.
The Koreans are grateful to the ka-
mehameha School boys for the loan or
apparatus used while practising for the
postponed field day.
Just when the meet will take place is
not known, as many of the intending
competitors came from other parts OF
the island and it will be a long time
before they are able to come to town
again.

ON WITH
REGATTA
Public Opinion Says to
Hold Event This
Month.

1t is probable that the Waikiki re-
gatta, scheduled for New Years day
but postponed because of the storm
which was then in full blast, will be
pulled off at the end of the present
month. This is the idea of J. F. Nor
gan, one of the members of the COM
mittee having the affair in hand, an
idea which is shared by F. L. Wal
dron, the other member. 1t is under
stood that whatever is decided by this
committee will be carried out, the
whole matter being left in their hands
ton Committee.
1t had been suggested that the affair
be postponed until later. to be brought
off at the time of the Floral Parade on
Washington's birthday. Mr.. Morgan,
however, does not favor this arrange
ment, IT think it would be a mistake
is only one day upon which Honolulu
can celebrate. We want it known that
we have the weather to carry out such
an affair at any time. Not but what
we have a little rain shower OCCASION
ally" said he scanned the heavens
carefully to see what were the chances
Of getting home without soaking.
There are a lot of tourists due to
arrive here toward the end of this
month and 1 think that we should
have the regatta then, not wait until
the February tourists come. I think
that we ought to have something of
the sort about every three months and
let folks know that we have an all
country
Il have not talked the thing over
except in a very general way with Mr.
Waldron, but 1 believe he thinks the
same way about it. 1 believe it is what
he general public wants, too.''

IS
WITHDRAWN
Incident of Player Who
CameLate Peacefully
Settled.

The protest lodged by the Y NJ. c. A.
| socker team against the Diamond
Heads was heard la-t night by the del
egates to the league. The question
was whether Spalding of the Y NJ. c..
A. team had a right to come into the
game in the second half, after having
been absent in the first half. The
, Christians did not play him in last Sat
urday's game owing to objection by the
Diamond Heads
Present were Messrs. Bruins, Grune,
S. Chillingworth, Gray, j. Cation, Fer
nandez, Hand, J. Anderson, McGill, B.
F. Beardmore, Churton. Waldron,
Cockburn.
Churton. the Y. NJ. c. A. captain,
stated that one reason why he lodged
the protest was because he wanted
ruling for the rurure.
Referee Waldron was of the opinion
that there was a local rule which
would have prevented Spalding play
ing. He made no ruling in the matter.
There was nothing in the general rules
to have prevented Spalding coming into
the game.
No local rule could be found and it
was the impression of many present
that there had been a national rule
prohibiting players coming into the
second half who had not taken part in
the first half, but that it was defunct.
1t was made evident that the Y. M.
C. A. should have played Spalding and
won. AS things stood they practically
protested against their own free action
in the matter.
Gray moved that the protest be
thrown out. J. Cation seconded the
motion.
Cockburn suggested that the Y. M.
G. A. be given a chance to withdraw
their protest, as there had been mis-
understanding on both sides.
Captain Churton withdrew the pro-
test and from now on, as there is no
rule to the contrary, a team may keep
a player until the very end OF the
game before putting him in, if foolish
enough to do so.
]. w. Waldron stated that he had
written to the Athletic News for light
on the matter.
1t was decided to play the postponed
New Year games next Saturday and
to set the remainder of the schedule
a week back. There viii be three more
Saturdays of socker, the final game
being Champions VS.. Rest of the
League
There is some talk of a series of
combination games between Diamond
Head-Y. NJ. c. A. and Maile-Punahou
teams.
