Much Disputed Title.
The lightweight pugilistic champion
ship, for which Joe Cans and kid"
Herman are to battle at Tonopah has
been an open and much disputed title
since the adoption of the Marquis of
Queensbury rules. Jack McAuliffe and
Cans are about the only claimants to
the title whose superiority has not
had doubts cast upon it.
McAuliffe showed his first champion
ship from when he knocked out Par
SON Billy Frazier in 81 rounds at Bos-
ton October 80 1886, in a contest ad-
vertised as for the lightweight cham
pionship. The stake was 5000 side,
for this was before the days Of big
purses. McAuliffe won the champion
ship of Canada also, and clincned his,
claim to the title when he knocked out
Harry Gilmore al Lawrence, Massachu-
setts, i'm % rounds, January IA, 1887.
Then came the famous international
lightweight contest between McAulffe
and Jim Carney. at Revere, Massachu-
sets. November 16, 1887. The fight
went "A rounds and was decided a
draw. The memorable 64-round draw
with Billy Myer, at North Judson, Illi-
nois. February IS, 1889. was McAu-
liffe's next important championship
contest.
In 1880 McAuliffe went to San Fran
cisco. and on March II of that year he
fought Jimmy Carroll there winning in
Al rounds. After defeating Austin Glib
bons in six rounds, September II, 1891,
at Hoboken. New Jersey. McAuliffe did
not defend his title again until Septem
Der 5, 1892. when he knocked out Billy
Myer at New Orleans in Is rounds.
McAuliffe was never beaten for the
title. At a big benefit given him in
New York in 1895 he spared six rounds
with kid" I.avigne and formally
turned over the title to the Michigan
boy. Lavigne won the championship Of
England, June 1 of that year. by knock
ing out Jim Burge in London In II
rounds. Lavigne was then admitted to
| be champion lightweight of the world,
and he held the title until July 3, 1899,
when he lost a decision to Frank Erne
in 90 rounds at Buffalo. -
Erne held the championship three
years, losing it when Jos Cans knocked
him out i'm one round at Fort Erie. May
IS. 1902, acquiring the title that has
not yet been wrested from him.

hands of the whites through the cleo
lions, but there Is great populatioy

who will have the elective franchise,
and they may be depended upon to

This temperate and comprehensive
statement foreshadows the political as

the japanese In Hawaii II is dan
gerous state OF affairs when any In
tegral part of the United States must
cell for American immigrants in order
10 save the Americans already there
from being placed on plane with

tiles In the Hawaiian situation. The
United States may be eventually COM
PEELED to govern little Japan in the
Pacific, for the benefit of Japanese
whose connections in peace and SYM
1athy in war would be with Japan.
Ii present tendencies continue to the
logical conclusion, all the white resi-
dents Of Hawaii. except the owners OF
sugar plantations. must work for
coolie wages or get out. In view of
the present proponderance of Japa-
nese, It is questionable whether Am
crican farmers will be willing to go to
Hawaii to face the possibility of COM
peting with the Asiatics for living.
The problem that confronts the Amer
leans already there is, therefore. ex-
tremely serious. When It is better un-
derstood, as 1t will be, the American
people will take care that there shall
be no duplication of such conditions

Shows His
Position

County Attorney Cathcart this fore
noon gave out the following statement
in regard to his appointment of A. M.
Brown as his assistant: ..
| did not consider that | was called
upon to make any statement concern
ing the proposed appointment OF Mr..
A. NJ. Brown, as Prosecutor before the
District Magistrate Of Honolulu. until
late in the afternoon of yesterday Mr..
IIustace, chairman of the Board OF SUI
pervisors, personally informed me that
he would oppose that appointment.
In view OF the attitude of the Chair
man Of the Board, deemed It only
fair to myself, to Mr.. Brown and to
the public to explain the course that
took before decided to appoint Mr..
Brown
The Police Court Prosecutor appears
day after day before the District Mag
istrate, and | think 1t only right that
the District Magistrate should be con-
suited as to the appointment, because
I would not appoint any one person
ally unacceptable to him.
In the same way, | considered II
only fair to consult the Sheriff and the
thief OF Detectives, because their
work to be successful must be properly
handled by the Prosecuting Officer.
l did not and do not consider that
any one has the right to dictate my
appointments. But would not con-
slider that was acting fairly with the
District Magistrate and the Police Au-
thorities II ] appointed any one with
whom they could not work harmoni-
ously.

pertinent Of Mr.. Brown was approved
by the District Magistrate and by the
Sheriff, and this statement is abso-
lutely true. | stated subsequently to
both the District Magistrate and to
Sheriff Iaukea, that unless they APP
proved that appointment, would not
appoint Mr.. Brown.
II l do not know that the exact word

WALTER G. SMITH
IS POSING AS
SMALL FARM MOSES

Under the title "Hawaii's Problems
the Washington Cd. c. Post-now
controlled by John II. Mclean, the
proprietor of the Democratic Cincin-,
natl Enquirer-publishe the following
editorial:
The assurance Is given occasionally,
by Hawaiian officials and others sub
servient to the powerful sugar-grow-
ing interests, that the whites of Ha-
wall are entirely willing to see the
Islands overrun with japanese, and
that the races live In perfect harmony.
Few specific denials Of these assur-
ances are heard from responsible
quarters. for the reason that any ut
;erance tending to loosen the grip OF
the sugar growers upon the cheap la
bor' market is likely to act as BOOM
erang upon the head of the person ut
.sring the sentiment, II he Is within
The sphere Of retaliation. 1t Is only
here and there that facts leak out re-
vealing the truth Of the situation in
| Hawaii. u..,. ...3
One of these significant facts is the
presence in the United States of Mr..
Walter G. Smith, editor of the Pacific
Commercial Advertiser OF Honolulu,
on an errand designed to, encourage
the emigration Of white farmers ~ go
Islands for the purpose OF preventing
the japanese from obtaining rull ssng.
nercial control OF them. Mr. snlln 4
observations are worth the study rf
those who cannot understand why
Japanese laborers should be excluded
from the United States. He says, in n
recent interview:
THE japanese are slowly acquiring
commercial supremacy They are
working with that object In view, ana
the whites of the group are seeking in
every direction 4 solution of the diff!
Guilty. 1t is impossible for white labor
to compete with the Japanese mode OF
living, and workingmen and tradesmen
are compelled to leave the Islands. We
think We have secured a solution of
the difficulty In inviting the. white
farmers to our shores The new Ter
ritorial administration is pledged to
that purpose. and we shall endeavor
10 have Government land In addition
thrown open to the white farmers.
Should we fail in securing the
opening of the land and the aid OF
whites, we will be at a loss for an
effectual way of fighting the Japanese

Bad. Money
] Making
RI. IT.. Contest

A row has broken out among the
counterfeiting fraternity OF this Terri
tory. ana United states District Attor-
ney Breckons Is thinking of taking ad-
vantage of It to institute novel con-
test. He proposes to have counter
feiting match,r IN ;determine which of
his bunch OFT Korean prisoners can
turn out phbnsy money that most
closely resembles the real mazuma.
Kim Bong ching on one hand and
Kong Chi Soon on the other, head OF
Two separate bad money gangs, are in
tepsely jealous Of each other, and each
says that, while the work OF the other
has merit along certain lines, 1t is far
behind his ownG -.
Kong Chi Soon and his confederates.
Chu Hong Young. Kim Keen Moon, Pa
iTu No and Hong Moon Sun, were
brought up from Honokaa this morn
Ing by Marshal Hendry, who went
down there for the purpose Of arrest
ing them on warrants charging them
with counterfeiting. The men were
already in custody, having been cap
tured by the local authorities of Homo
kaa. The arrest was due to the at
tempt of two of them to pass some
imitation mopey on a storekeeper.
In addition to his prisoners and half
dozen witnesses. Hendry brought
lack a whole plant for the manufac-
ture Of the queer. Stacked up in the
Narshal's Office now are dies, tools OF
all kinds, from a sledge for breaking
up the metal, to files, fine saws, chisels,
etc. There are number of electrical
batteries, used In plating the coins;
bottles OF gold dust for the same pur-
pose, molds. silver. the composition
metal used for making the coins.
There is also pocketbook containing
a number of bad five and ten dollar
pieces. And the Marshal has turned
over to the United States District At
torney several dies for making the
coins. The latter might very well pass
II rendered with others of like denom-
nation. They are too light, and the
color is Off and there is no ring to
them, but considering the tools with
which they were made they are re-
markable productions.
! The evidence seems to be complete
for the conviction of the prisoners, and
they look upon 1t In that light. Two
of them have already confessed, stat
ing to Marshal Hendry that they knew
he had them and they might as well
give up. You have been after us II
.ong time" they said, "and now you
have u.s." .'"'
The capture OF this gang leaves but
one man, so fur as the authorities
know, to be run to earth, and the Gov
ernment officials are confident OF
landing him before long.
These men are thought to be mem
bers OF different gang from those
who were caught some time ago. This
morning Kim Bong Chung, the man
who for some time was busy in the
Marshal's Office making counterfeitina
dies to show the officers how 1t Ii
done, was sent for and asked to pass
his opinion as ar expert on the worl
OF his competitors. Kim appeared tc
relish the job immensely and ex
amined everything carefully and will
much eagerness, Offering his criticism:
OF the various points.
Breckons says he is going to get NJ
a counterfeitipg match for Regatta
Day.
