FIVE TIED IN
CUP CONTEST

The twelfth weekly Challenge Cup
shoot of the Hawaiian Gun Club took
place at the Kakaako traps on We'd
nesday and was won by ]. E. Whitney,
who did the best work which he has
ever done in a match. He was allowed
a handicap of four in the twenty-bird
shoot, and, much to the surprise of
everyone, made a perfect score, taking
all twenty-four birds without a miss.
AS matters stand now there are five
men tied for the cup, which must be
won three times, not necessarily in
succession, in order to become the
property of anyone. Whitney's win
Yesterday put him into this class. The
lucky ones who have done such good
work are +. E. Whitney, ]. Common, j.

Several letters were received yester-
day from Designer Crowninshield, who
has charge of drawing the plans for the
yacht which will represent Hawaii in
the race from San Pedro to Honolulu
next year. They were chiefly in regard
to the details of construction and full
of advice in regard to the care which
should be used in obtaining builder
who would be honest and careful. The
chief news, however, was that the plans
were to be completed and to leave Bos-
ton not later than yesterday, Septem-
Der 10.
There has been a great deal of work
on the plans and they are due to ar.
rive here either on the Korea, arriv-
ing on September 80. or on the next
steamer bringing mail from San Fran
cisco. As soon as they arrive the
building of the vessel will be started
by Sorenson & Lyle. They can be re-
lied on in every particular, on account
of the fact that they are both menu
bers of the yacht club and Lyle is the
vice-commodore.
The money for the yacht is coming
in very well indeed, and considerable
amount has been raised, all of which
has come from men of limited means,
those who are expected TO come in with
large contributions being left till the
last. The active work of canvassin9
for subscriptions has been commenced
by the committee in charge of raising
the funds and will be pressed from now
on. The first draft from Crownin-
shield, for $3.50, has been received and
has been honored. Other expenses.
such as the printing and mailing or
circulars, have also cost considerable
money, and the committee has collected
enough to defray these and also to
leave a very respectable amount in the
treasury for the work, which will be
commenced as soon as the plans are re-
ceived.

BAILEY USED WINE,
 WOMEN AND MONEY
SAY HEARST NEWSPAPER MEN, AND RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED BY THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE TO INVESTIGATE.

Austin Tex, January 2s.-The action Of newspaper men in attendance upon the Texas legislature are to be investi- gated. This is due to telegram alleged to have been sent from here to certain papers controlled by William R. Hearst, charging that Senator Bailey corrupted the morals and secured the voting strength of the legislature in his race for reelection as United States senator by "the use of wine. women and money"
 The members apparently resent this statement and the senate today appointed a committee to investigate the conduct of newspaper men to see which one, of any one. sent out such a story.
 In both branches of the legislature committees were appointed to conduct the investigation.
 While the matter was under discussion in the house 2 resolution was offered pro- viding that inasmuch as it was also charged in the public prints that Senator Bailey had a lobby influencing legisla- tion, that the same should be investigat- ed This resolution was voted down.
 The legislative Investigating committee was again in session today and tonight without developing any material facts H. Gruet did not appear before the com mittee today as was expected, the pro- ceedings being confined to an examna- ton of MT. Naudain, auditor of the Wa ters-Pierce Oil company, which developed nothing particularly new or interesting

LOOKS INTO BARREL
 OF BIG A PISTOL
OFFICER HAS A THRILLING EX- FERENCE AT DIXIE RESTAUR- ANT AND IS GIVEN SOME AD- VICE BY OLDER HEADS.

If you would know how it feels to look down the barrel of a A and realize at the same time that a desperate ne- gro has his finger on the trigger, ask Officer Shoot.
 The officer had such an experience last night, and now, since the negro has made good his escape, he Is very anxious to arrest him.
 The occurrence was at the Dixie restau- rant. The Dixie restaurant is on First avenue between Eighteenth and Nine teenth streets and is patronised some times by bad characters.
 Such was the last last night. The off cer was leisurely patroIling his beat when a female approached him rapidly, begging that he interfere with a crap game that was progressing in the rear of the joint" The officer leisurely sauntered across the street and walked down the aisle of the restaurant. When he turned the counter, he was confronted by a big revolver. The negro behind the gun looked threateningly, and the officer could do nothing. The negro in the meantime moved quietly towards the door, keeping the officer coEered all the while. When he reached the door, he leaped quickly to the sidewalk, and ran with all his might and main. The officer gave pur- suit but the negro is still uncaptured
 The officer told of his thrilling experi- ence at headquarters last night. The old CT officers gave him some advice It was pointed out that he should always have his pistol ready when he attempted to disturb negro crapshooters

Ensley, January 2s.-fspecial )-Perhaps the largest political meeting of the Ems ley campaign was held in the opera house tonight It was held under the auspices of the primary nominees, but both sides were represented and the house was crowded to the doors.
 P. c. Bowman and Col. E. l.. Higdon of Birmingham were the speakers of the evening. Their remarks were received with applause and listened to intently. R. L. Daniel and T. C. Mehaffey, two To- cal men, made interesting addresses after which the crowd dispersed.

COM MISSION LOOKS
 UP HANKS RECORD
NEWSPAPER REPORTS ABOUT SPENDING u. s. MONEY TO SHOW RAILROAD RATES CAN BE RE- DUCEp.

Washington, January es.-senator Cu.- person secured the adoption of the 1oi- lowing resolution by the Senate today;
 whereas, according to press accounts, Charles S. Hanks, in a recent address de- livered before the Boston chamber of commerce, said among other things:
 Since last June have been at work in Washington at the interstate com merce commission, and I have spent ssv- eral thousand dollars of the good money of the United States in clerical services to show that the freight and passenger rates of this country can be reduced 10 per cent without affecting the dividends of the stock of any railroad or the wages of any employe. In connection with this work certain other facts have come to my attention which may interest you
 'Therefore, be 1t resolved, That the in terstate commerce commission be and is hereby directed:
 "l To inform the Senate whether said Charles s. Hanks is employed Tn any caipacity in connection with said commits sion, and if so, what capacity, by whom employed and from what appropriation he Is paid
 ''2. To send to the Senate a full state ment of the facts found by said Hanks which show or ought to show that the freight and passenger rates can be re- duced as stated by him in said address
 At the interstate commerce commission no information was obtainable regarding MT. Hanks work there or of any facts which it may have disclosed. It was ex- plained there that pending the prepara- ton of the reply to the Senate resolution, the commissioners could not with proprie- ty discuss the subject From other sources, however, it was ascertained thai MT. Hanks, who is political economist, and who had been classmate Of the President at Harvard, and George N. Harrison of Boston had been temporar- lv employed in the statistician's office of the commission. It is understood they had expressed to the President senti- ments substantially In accord with the statements made by MT, Hanks al Bos- ton and had been given temporary em- ployment with the commission to make good their contentious. These disagreed with the conclusion of the statisticians of the commission, the differences being attributed to variations in bookkeeping employed by Hanks and Hartman and those in vogue at the commission. Pres ident Roosevelt manifested lively in- terest in the matter and talked with th:e commissioners about It.

COMPLICATIONS FOR HAWAII.
Taft Will Forward Letter for ln-
 creased Appropriation.

Washington. January 2s.-Secretary Taft tomorrow will forward a letter to Senator Perkins, chairman of the sub committee which has under consideration the bill for increased appropriations for coast defense for the Philippines and Hawaiian Islands, setting forth the req sons why the present available appro- priation is not considered sufficient for the proper defense of those islands. The pending fortifcation bill carries $500,000 for coast defense work in the Philippines. Although that sum Is regarded as suff- cient to meet present and prospective conditions 1t is accepted by the military authorities as all that may be reasonably expected from congress at this time. The secretary will ask that the available ap- propriations of s260,O00 for fortification works in Hawaii be increased by an ad- dtional appropriation of 1850, 900 in order to carry out the approved project.

COMMISSIONER TO
 TAKE TESTIMONY
GOVERNMENT MISSES IN THE
 SHIP CASE ARE ANNOUNCED. COUNSEL INDIGNANT AT FEAR
 TO TESTIFY IN CHATTANOOGA. A.

Washington January 2S-in the su- preme court of the United States to- day. Solicitor General Hoyt stated that James D. Maher, assistant clerk of that court. practically had been agreed on by both parties as commissioner to take the testimony for the court in the con tempt proceedings against Sherin shipp and others charged with complicity In the lynchng at Chattanooga last March of the negro Ed Johnson. after the court had assumed jurisdiction in his case
 MT Hoyt also presented for the op- posing counsel brief in the govern ment's motion to change the place or taking the testimony in the Shipp case frome Chattanooga to Washington. The brief expressed indignation that the wit nesses of the defense would refrain from giving all the facts for fear Of conse- ouences to themselves if examined at Chattanooga It is asserted there would be no more restraint on them in Chatta- nooga than in Washington.
 The brief is signed by attorneys Gen. W. C. Hamlee and Lewis Shepperd Of Chattanooga, and in part reads:
 we say there is no reason in the world why the witnesses LOT tHe SoNci ment should not tell the facts about this case at Chattanooga just as freely as at any other place. And if after the hearing is commenced at Chattanooga any witness is intimidated the court has power to change the place of hearing and also to punish the offending party, if such a case were possible. Public opin- ion is in a mood now to hear freely, frankly and unreservedly all the facts of this case at Chattanooga without intimi- dation towards anybody To take those witnesses away from Chattanooga and deprive the defendants of the right to meet them face to face as must neces- sarilv result, is a great hardship upon them and particularly so if they are in nocent as they claim to be, and especial ly on account of their poverty"
 In view of these and other circum- stances which they adduce, the attorneys say that to grant the motion of the Att torney General would admit a denial of Justice to their clients.
