AS there are nine games to each
series. it will readily be seen that the
seven games still to be played in the
first half may materially alter the
above positions. The four teams are
evenly matched, more so than in any
previous season and none are so strong
that they can afford to shirk continual
practise.
The Punahous and Kamehamehas
meet in the first game and close con-
test should result. Reuter- and Jones
will be the battery for the Kams and
the Punahous will pitch either Johnny
Williams or Hampton, with Ringland
at the receiving end.
The second game will be between the
with Burns or Busnell in the box and
Bruins catcher for the Saints and Chill
lingworth and a new man in the same
capacity for the Diamond Heads. This
game should be good one. The Dia-
mond Heads improved considerably in
their second game and Chillingworth
allowed only six hits in the game with
the Kams. The game will be well con-
tested, the Saints will endeavor to
keep their lead and the Diamond Heads
will leave no stone unturned to get out
of the 000 column.
A large crowd will be present as the
snappy games being played has re-
vived interest in the sport, in a re-
markable degree.

THEY FINALLY MARRY.
Two Divorces and a Scandal Didn't
Stop B. MI. Robinson.

Galena, Kan, Dec. 4.--B. M. Robin
son. a rich mine owner of Joplin, Mo-,
divorced by his wife, was married hero
last night to Mrs. Alice NJ. Fuller, di-
vorced wife of A. Roy Fuller. This is
the latest move in a series which be-
gan when Fuller became Robinson's
secretary and Robinson, although mar
ried, fell in love with Mrs. Fuller.
Fuller did not believe that Mrs. Fuller
returned the affection of Robinson until
he heard of a buggy ride June II, 1906
Then the Fullers separated and Fuller
sued Robinson for $4,000 for alternating
the affections of his wife. Fuller won
the verdict.
Then Mrs. Fuller. angry at her hus-
bands actions, sued him for divorce on
the ground that he had slandered her
and offered her indignities. Divorce
was refused. But then the husband
"got busy In his turn he sued for
divorce and was granted it.
In the meantime, Mrs. Robinson, wife
of the mine owner. sued her husband
for divorce. He resisted bitterly. but
lost and was forced to turn over
share of his estate to her. She went to
Kansas City with ner children.
After that, Joplin waited to see if
Robinson and Mrs. Fuller would be
married. Joplin wasn't disappointed.
They started on their wedding trip to
New York last night.

CONFER OVER PLANS.
The President and Senators Discuss
Reform of Currency.

Washington, Dec. A conference
was held at the White House last ev-
ening bp the president and Senators
Aldrich of Rhode Island and Crane of
Massachusetts on the subject of cur
rency legislation. The president called
in these two leading senators in order
that he might have their views con-
corning the many propositions that
have been made to him during the last
several weeks in favor of plans for re-
heving the currency stringency under
such circumstances as has occurred
recently. Senator Aldrich stated at the
conclusion of the conference that moth
ing definite had been decided upon.
The president has been in receipt of
many communications from all parts
of the country urging him to recon-
mend special plans for relieving the
money stringency and his chief purpose
in the conference seemed to be to dis
cuss the suggestions that have been
made to him. He outlined many of
those suggestions, and Senator Aldrich
gave his views freely on all of them,
He showed that If an emergency arises
1T Will be necessary to carefully guard
the security that should be given for
such currency as may be issued. He
explained that if it is left to bankers
in various communities to decide when
to put out emergency circulation there
Will be difficulties ahead of a very SER
fous nature. 1t would also be neces-
sary to provide conditions under which
called in Without such precautions
question would arise whether the treas
ury department or the bankers or
both had the power to put out and
withdraw emergency circulation
An interesting phase of the confer
ence was that the president himself had
no particular plan to urge. He was
simply endeavoring to satisfy his own
mind as to the various suggestions that
have been brought to his attention, He
was looking for information rather than
seeking TO secure concurrence in any
view he maintained
The two senators arrived at the White
House at $3.50 o'clock and the confer
enee was prolonged until $780, The
president appeared to be hopeful of a
lettering of the present condition. but
did not appear to apprehend that con-
gress would be inclined to rush into
any particular scheme of legislation.
He realized that the matter win have
very mature consideration at the hands
of congress and that both the senate
and the house will discuss the problem
fully both in committee and on the
floor. He appreciated also the fact that
whatever was done would be done with
reference to the future, and that it
would be necessary to proceed with
great caution in order to avoid the es-
Establishment of system that might
under some circumstances work much
more harm than the system of banking
and currency now in vogue

BANQUET FOR TAFT.
The Secretary Makes a Speech In
Which He Denies Many Rumors.

ST. Petersburg, Dec. IA plea for
world peace was the topic of a speech
oelvered by Secretary Taft at the
american banquet here last night which
was attended by several high Russian
onicials in addition to some sixty
Americans. Responding to the speech
OF welcome delivered by F. M. Corse
VINO presided, Secretay Taft said he
hoped the traditional friendship be-
tween Russia and America would in
crease and become stronger. The SIM
flarity in the development of the two
countries, he said, ought to produce a
sympathetic feeling, and he drew g.
parallel between Russia and America
with reference to their immense extent
and the difficulties arising therefrom.
Personally, the secretary had strong
feeling of affection and regard for Rus
STA. on account of the two years resi-
dence of his father there as American
minister. His present trip, he said, had
given rise to a number of suggestions,
the purport of which was far from the
truth. It had been suggested that he
was rounding the world on diplomatic
mission to various countries to carry
some ultimate policy Of the United
States, but Americas policy was the
peace Of all nations. His only official
function he continued was that con-
nected with the inauguration of the
Philippine assembly and he was return
ing home by way of Russia to avoid the
voyage across the Pacific which he had
already made many times. He sought
an audience with the emperor In order
to express his personal gratitude for
the hospitality which he had enjoyed
on his Transsiberian trip and to assure
him that deep desire exists on the
part of the Americans for the welfare
and prosperity Of Russia.
The secretary declared that intima-
lions that his trip was connected in
any way, with a prospective war In the
far east were without foundation. In
his judgment there was no possibility
of war between the United States and
any country nor was there any reason
for it, The world needs peace for It's
real growth and the happiness OF the
Individual. Civilization, said the secre-
tary. is indebted to Emperor Nicholas
for the initiation of international EFFORTS
for permanent peace, and the mitiga-
ton of war by the organization Of the
Hague conference.
AT the conclusion of his speech he
toasted the emperor
Count Konitz, who is acting as 1mper-
iaI aide to Secretary Taft. responded
with toast to President Roosevelt
which was drunk amid great enthusiasm
and the singing of the national hymns
of both countries.
During the afternoon the secretary
visited the duma. where he was an
object of great attention from Premier
Stolypin and the other ministers He
remained there only a short time and
was unable to visit the floor of the
house but hopes to meet the leading
deputies later. az
His audience with the foreign minis
ter, NJ Iswolsky lasted an hour, inter-
national relations being touched. upon
only in a general way.

HE is BACK AGAIN.
Twelve Year Old Russian Boy De.
ported Six Times in Year.

New York, Dec. 4.-Bentamin Axle
rod, a 12-year-old Russian boy who,
within the past year has made seven
trips between Europe and America, is
again in the detention room at Ellis
island. Each time the lad slowed away
on a steamer and each time he was
deported promptly on his arrival at
New York. Every time he put Off at
Rotterdam on the return trip and
there he waited for the next ship and
promptly stole aboard and hid himself
away. This time the boy arrived on
the steamer Arconia, on which he had
made one previous trip. The Hebrew
Charities society has taken an inter-
est IN the boy and are seeking two un-
cles who are supposed to live in New

TOO MANY MAIDS.
The New York Servant Girl Market Is
So Overstocked.

New York, Dec. 4-There are more
women and girls in New York seeking
positions as house servants than there
are places for, according to Mrs. w. E.
Wi1merding, head of the bureau of So
cial requirements. Every ship enter
ing New York is bringing more of
them according to the reports, and the
employment agencies are overwhelm-
ed with applications for places.
Mrs. Wilmerding states that there
has been a decided cutting down in
the number of servants employed by
the wealthy in New York in the past
month which fact is partly responsible
for the large number of idle servants.
Both the French and German charity
homes which care for immigrants are
crowded to overflowing and the man
ayers say it is impossible to find
places for the girls who are arriving
on every ship. q.
