TURN down KILEY

BOARD OF LICENSE COMMISSION
ERS SEND FOR WESTON TO APP
PEAR TOMORROW.

The Board of License Commissioner
took final action at it's meeting yes
terday afternoon on the application for
a saloon license of Fred M. Kiley at
Bethel and Hotel street. The applica-
ton was turned down.
After the new liquor law went into
effect, Kiley applied first for a restau-
rant license with liquor privileges, but
this was refused by the Board for the
reason that there had been a good deal
of complaint about the kind of a place
Kiley had conducted in the past. He
then applied for a straight saloon IL
cense, promising to conduct his place
strictly in accordance with the regula-
tions of the Board, but a very strong
opposition was manifested against him
by property owners in the neighbor-
hood, and so the license was refused

plete the structure to the additional
ten feet in height recommended by
Engineer Schuyler.
At the present time about seventy
men are at work about the dam, a por-
ton of them working on the rock fill
for the toe of the dam, and others
making the fill on the high ground
to form the wing of the structure up
near the Pail road. Most of these men
are working for Contractor White
house, and the few others which are
being employed directly by the De-
partment of Public Works in the mat
ter Of pumping and sluicing, are also
being paid by the contractor, for the
reason that the Auditor has refused
to approve payments from funds which
he holds were not intended for such
purposes, all other available appro-
priations being pau
Governor Frear and party had a
look at the sluicing system which mas
been vigorously condemned by the
contractor and others for reasons more
or less obvious. AS to just what are
the merits of one system over the 9TH
err of moving the great quantity of
earth required for the fill, as yet has
not been passed upon by competent
disinterested party, so this will prob
ably be one of the points which the
Governor Will have to look into AS
yet Superintendent Rowland has not
succeeded in getting the new $4,000
rotary pumping outfit to work salts
factorily but claims he will be able
to do so. At the speed recommended
the manufacturers the pump is not
putting up the guaranteed amount OF
water by a large percentage, and the
consequent amount of earth brought
down is small and is easily supplied to
the sluice by five or six men. 1t is
Howlands intention to speed up the
pump by changing the relative sizes OF
the drive pullies on the engine and
pump. He maintains that this is en-.
tirely feasible without injury to the

machinery and will then do all that
is expected of 1t.
The question of whether the $780,
600 voted in the loan bill by the last
legislature will be sufficient to COM
plete the worG, and as to whether or
not Contractor Whitehouse can make
good HIS claim that his contract will
continue when more money is avail
able for the work, are points which
the Governor will look into very care
fully before he takes any steps in the
matter.
In the latter case, Superintendent
Holloway holds that Whitehouse's
contract will expire as soon as the
money set aside for him is exhausted,
and that with a new appropriation, he
will be out of the matter entirely. 1t
is this difference OF opinion which
threatens legal complications, as Hol-
loway wants to go ahead without con-
tracing the balance of the work. when
more money is available, while White
house will probably insist on having
the courts decide the matter.

SPORTS
ST, LOUIS TEAM
MAY co TO JAPAN
LOCAL BALL PLAYERS MAY TAKE
THE PLACE OF A STANFORD
TEAM

On account Of the baseball team OF
Stanford University being unable to
make the trip to the land of Nippon
to play baseball with some of the
teams there, the chances are very good
that the st. Louis team here will, ii
necessary arrangements can be made,
take the trip instead. A Japanese
student who has seen the ball that the
Saints play, has been very much i'm
pressed with their playing and has
written to the team mere about COM
ing out to Japan in the near future and
playing a series of games with some
of the crack teams in the land Of the
rising sun.
Letters are being sent on the Maru
today and it is very probable tnat
word will be received by cable In an
swer to these letters, and that team
will go. The team of the battIeship
wisconsin were able to defeat all Jne
teams in Japan, and when they played
the Saints here early in the season, the
Saints were able to defeat the sailors
by a nice margin, and this same stu
dent who saw the game went back to
japan and told them that the st. Louis
team would be very attractive draw
ing card in case they came to Japan.
If arrangements are made the Saints
would leave here in September, and
as the Coast team will be down short
ly afterwards they will have to decide
whether they would rather stay here
and play against the Fisher bunch OF
ball-tossers, or go out and give the
sons of Nippon a good lesson in how
to play our National game.

YESTERDAYS POLO
WAS POORER GAME
NEITHER TEAM UP TO THE FAST
PACE SET FOR THE MATCH
GAMES.

The polo game yesterday afternoon
at Moanalua, was attended by quite a
number of people but nothing like the
number that were present at the games
between Maui and Oahu.
The game started promptly at three
o'clock with the Blues defending the
makai goal. A few minutes after play
started Sam Baldwin who was playing
for the reds made the first goal OF
the day. A short time afterwards the
Blues made a goal and the score was
tied The best playing of the game
was done by Sam and Frank Baldwin,
and at times Harold Castle for the
Reds showed some good form but TAX
ing it all in all the playing was very
ragged and poor during the entire
game.
Many times the combined players
rode over the ball and no one seemed
to be able to see the ball. Peck put
up a very fair game, and during the
third period was thrown from his horse
but quickly mounted and continued in
the game.
In the second period Clarence Cooke
for the blues, made very pretty run
of half the field and was able to score.
In the last few minutes of play in the
fourth period Frank Baldwin made the
longest run of the game and only miss
ed the goal by very narrow margin.
If he had scored another period would
have been played, but the game ended
a few minutes afterwards with the ball
in the middle of the field.
The final score was Reds 4 Blues j.
The following is the lineup of the
wo teams.
Reds-Arthur Rice (captain), Harold
Castle, George Dennison and Sam Bald
win.
Blues-Charles Rice (captain), Ed
Peck, Clarence Cooke and Frank Bald
win
Bob Shingle and Lewis umpires.

GOVERNOR GETS
MORE RESERVATIONS
FREAR RECEIVES AND TURNS
DOWN MORE FORMAL OFFERS
TO RELINQUIsH OFFICE.

A number of formal designations of
members of various commissions, with
in the appointment of the Governor,
were presented to Governor Frear this
morning and turned down by him, as
he has previously announced that he
does not consider it necessary for such
form of courtesy from this class OF
Territorial servants. The resignation
of Carlos A. Long, as a member of the
License Commission, was not however
one of these. 1t is presumed that with
his appointment a few days since TO
the position OF District Magistrate, he
will now resign from the Commission
which at any time might cause him
embarrassment in his new office, even
if he can legally hold the two.
The Governor has not yet made APP
pointments to fill number of vacan-
cies in various commissions, among
which is the position made vacant on
the Tax Commission, occupied by him.
self until his appointment as Governor
and the other vacancy on the same
Commission, caused by Judge Wilder's
resignation.
Among the callers upon the new
Governor yesterday was General Ed
ward Davis, U. S. A., retired, who paid
his respects in a brief chat.

WIRELESS TO JOIN
COAST AND HAWAII
CAPTAIN LYMAN OF TRANSPORT
THOMAS BELIEVES 1T SIMPLE
ENOUGH.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 14.-rhe
most notable feature of the homeward
voyage of the army transport Thomas,
which arrived Monday night from the
Philippines, was the successful opera
ton of the troopers wireless tele-
graphy apparatus. Captain Lyman,
commander of the Thomas, believes
that with wireless station located on
Twin peaks in this city and one at Ho-
nolulu on high elevation, both equip
ped with powerful apparatus, commu-
nication could be maintained all the
way between here and the islands.
The Thomas chartered like a magpie
on the way from Manila and main
tanned long distance conversations
with numerous points. The station at
Honolulu is not equipped with a very
powerful apparatus and the Thomas
did all the talking with the islands for
many miles before the receiver on the
transport told of Honolulu's ability to
join in the wireless chat.
The best record made by the trans
port was at p. m. August 10, when
communication was opened with the
station at Northhead on the Columbia
river. The transport was then $40
miles distant from Northhead and 700
miles off shore. 1t was a perfect night
for wireless eloquence and messages
were received, sent and acknowledged
promptly with as much ease as if they
had Travelled by wire.

NUUANU DAM
VISITED BY FREAR
GOVERNOR AND OTHERS MAKE
A STUDY OF THE BIG RESEk-
VOIR PROJECT.

Governor Frear and his party of Ter
ritorial officials spent over two hours
yesterday afternoon in looking over
the uncompleted Nuuanu Dam project
In the party besides the governor were
Superintendent OF Pubic Works Hol-
loway, Secretary Mott-Smith, Attorney
General Hemenway, auditor Fisher,
and Contractor l.. M. Whitehouse, be-
sides ]. H. Rowland, formerly Assist
ant Superintendent of Public Works,
but now performing the duties of that
abolished office and supervising the
dam work under the title of, and draw
ing his old pay of $3.50 per, as plain
engineer, architect and craftsman"
The Governor went very carefully
over the whole extent of the work. He
had the construction infinitely explain
ed to him, and inspected in detail the
progress of the construction. His years
of judicial training made him keen
questioner, and there is little DOUBT
that when he has had time to go over
the agreement with the contractor and
the mass of engineers reports on the
work, he will have an unusually COM
prehensive idea Of the Nuuanu dam
and its troubles.
The difficult part of the construction
has now been finished and the princi-
pal work which remains to be done is
to make the great earth fill back of
the core wall requiring about 1870 thou
