EXECUTED WILL
TWO WEEKS
AFTER DEATH

Lau Len made his last Will and
testament on March 80. On March
S he died.
This extraordinary state of affairs
was brought out this morning in
Judge Robinson's court when the
aforesaid will was presented for pro-
bate Just how Lau Len managed to
execute the document in question
two weeks after he left this vale OF
tears is a question even the Judge
was unable to solve, and he contin-
ued the matter until someone could
be found to explain how it was ac-
complshed. 1t is possible that there
is a clerical error somewhere. On
the other hand, the theory is advance
ed that the spirit of Lau Len, trou-
bled at having left this important
matter unattended to, returned to
earth and persuaded some receptive
mortal to draw up the will for him.
In the latter case spiritualistic Sc
ance will probably have to be held in
the courtroom in order to get the
testimony of the departed Celestial.

PICKED COAST NINE


The above letter has been received
by Jess Woods and proves to be the
most interesting proposition that has
happened in local baseball circles
since the time that A. G. Spalding
brought through this country two
All-American baseball teams and
gave exhibitions in this city.
Here is a proposition that should
interest every lover of sport in this
Territory. What man, woman or
child is there here who would not
dig up their last cent to see picked
team of ball-tossers from that fast
Coast League cross bats with Ha-
waits cream of baseball players with
our own Barney Joy in the box?
1t would be the greatest boost that
the game ever received here to have
such an aggregation meet the local
lads. Mike Fisher is perhaps the
biggest factor in the baseball world
on the Pacific Coast. He has turned
| out more National League players
than anyone there, and if he brought
team to Hawaii it would be fast
che well worth seeing. The local
lads would be in a position to gain
new knowledge of the National
sport and in fact it would put the
same on a higher standard here than
ever before.
A picked team from the Sugar
| Cane League properly trained would
give Fishers lads an awful rub and
there are many who think that they
would win about as many games as
they would lose out of series of
games with the Coast boys.
| Woods claims that if he is given
the proper support by the local peo-
pie that he will put the deal through.
He has ideas whereby the PROPOSE
ton can be successfully handled ard
he assures the public that in the
event visiting team does come, the
local people will be treated to a Sc
res of baseball games that will go
down in history and long be remem-
bered by Honolulus sporting public.

BOARD TRANSLATES
ONLY
ROUTINE BUSINESS

Only routine business was trans
acted at the meeting of the License
Commission yesterday afternoon, the
subject of the injunction obtained
against the Board being carefully ig-
nored. There was, however, a star
chamber session after the public
meeting, and it is probable that the
matter was considered then.
The first application for a license
considered was that of Hamamura
Futimatsu, who wants license to
run a saloon at the corner of Bere-
tania and Aala lane. He was for
merly at the corner of Kekaulike and
Hotel streets, but has moved on adj
vice of his attorney, A. M. Brown
Brown appeared for the applicant
and urged that the license be grant
ed, stating that with the closing up
of Joe Clark's place he thought there
was room for another saloon in that
neighborhood.
There was a protest against the
granting of a license to Y. Okumoto
st Kahuku, the protestant being An
drew Adams, manager of the Kahuku
plantation. The plantation, he said,
does not want any saloon there at
all, there being no one to patronize
It except the plantation laborers.
Okumoto was represented by A. NJ
Brown, who said he knew nothing
against the man.
The third application considered
was that of Hop Chong, who wants
to run a saloon at Waipahu. He was
unrepresented and nothing was adj
yanced either for or against him.
Nothing was done in the matter OF
! the application of b. 7. White of the
| Pearl City Hotel. 1t was stated that
Colburn had withdrawn from the
business and that White had chang
ed his application into one for res
| taurant license instead of saloon
! license, but there was nothing to
show that these changes had been
made and Chairman Ballentyne stat
ed that he wanted statements in writ
ing concerning the alleged changes
| before the matter could be consider
| sd. 1t therefore went over

MACFAR[ANE OFFERS A CUP

f. w. Macfarlane has offered cup
to be raced for by second class yachts.
The conditions OF the cup have not YET
been made but it is expected that 1t

This cup is silver one and stands
fourteen inches high. 1t is beautiful
thing and well worth winning
There is much interest in yachting
circles just now and it is expected that
more cups will be offered in the neal
future.
C. w. Macfarane has received the
following letter from H. H. Sinclair,
the owner of the Lurline, which set1
forth the doings of this yacht:

There is no question but that if you
had not come up from Honolulu in La

that if the Anemone had not entered

the race if our two yachts were the

1t appears that the story of how
j. D. Gaines of the Cable Company
was hit by a, golf ball has been e%-
Pggerated very considerably. The
correct version of the incident is as
follows: Gaines was coming up to
the ninth hole and c. j. Hutchins
was driving to the eighth. The lat
ter pulled his ball somewhat and il
struck Gaines just below the lobe OF
the heart. Gaines was not rendered
unconscious, however. He was not
knocked out, but remained standing,
and after he had facetiously reprov-
ed Hutchins on the improperly of
the wireless trying to knock out the
cable, he went on with his game.

Imposing FUNERAL OF BIRD.
Sparrow Buried by spaniards with
Military Honors.

Remarkable was tho funeral of q
sparrow In Cuba which was attended
by no fewer than 5000 soldiers. says
the New York Tribune The story Of
this singular event is both curious and
dramatic. At the commencement Of
the ten years war the Spaniards chose
the sparrow as their emblem, typi.
flying the courage and pcrtinacity with
which they intended to prosecute the
war, while they contemptuously spoke
of the enemy--the natives--as eats"
Ono day In March, 1869, so runs the
story, Spanish soldier saw "a cat
pounce ON u sparrow; he rushed to
tho rescue, disabled the cat with a
blow from his rifle, and took the dy.
ing bird from Its mouth.
The tragic event was reported to
the general commanding the Spanish
forces, who promptly gave orders that
the cat should be court.martialed, and
that the sparrow should be Inferred
with military honOrs. All the princi-
pal officials and residents OF Cuba
were invited to the funeral. which tho
bishop OF Solanz was ordered to con-
duct. A bier was prepared, and the
dead bird was placed on bed Of
lilies and roses. the sorrowful tribute
of the officers wives. and to the sound
Of muffied drums and the tramp OF
G,000 following soldiers the long pro-
cession wound Its way to the out
skirts of Havana, where tho sparrow
was laid to rest with full military hon.
ors.
To find parallel to this singular
homage paid to q bird one has to go
back nearly 1000 years to the days
OF Claudius J., fourth Roman en-,
peror, when the death OF crow
plunged all Rome into mourning. For
many a year the bird had been a
great fayorite Of the citizens. and its
talents and tricks were constant
topic Of conversation. One day, to
the anger and grief OF thousands, the
bird was killed-a crime which cost
tho culprlt his life--and It was de-
cided to give the crow state fu-
neral. The dead bird was borne to
Its grave by "a couple, OF slaves, pre-.
ceded BY a military band playing
ihournfiil music. and behind the corpse
