Mayer was declaring that Hart was
not short in his accounts; that he had
not robbed the Standard Oil Company
and, if one would believe Mayer, his
thieving clerk and self-confessed ar
sonist, was a model young man.
Later when Hart was jailed and he
commenced to squeal, Mayer admitted
that he had caught his clerk grating
and forced him to make restitution.
The question naturally arises: When
Mayer discovered that Hart was a
thief, why did he not have him pro-
secuted? Why did he not discharge
him? The answer is expected to be:
That Hart knew too much about the
Standard Oil bill and its "gum-snoe"
journey through the legislature.
The authorities refuse to make pub
lie the full text of Lionel Harris con-
fession in the matter of the attempt to
burn the government oil warehouse at
Kakaako on Sunday evening, August
IS. This confession was taken down
verbatim and will be used in the prose-
cution of the case. The reason for not
giving out all that Hart told is said to
be because it might interfere with fur

Although Hart takes all the blame
Of the incendiary attempt on himself,
it is stated that he told some other
things which will likely lead to other
parties being involved in the crooked
work which the destruction of the
warehouse was planned to conceal.
Probably little will be done in the
matter for a week or two until the
arrival of a representative of the

AS the two crews came to a stand
still, the Myrtles gave three cheers for
the Healanis, and the Healanis return
cd the compliment. The crews we're
followed by a number of launches who
kicked up a nasty swell and many pro-
tests were made over not having a po-
lice launch to keep the course clear.
AT 80 the Kamehameha and the
Hawaii started, followed shortly af'er-
wards by the Gladys in the race for
first-class yachts. A few minutes af-
forwards the second class yachts start

the second class yachts getting away
in a bunch. At the start of the race
for the first class yachts the Hawaii

ahead of the Kamehameha, followed
seven minutes afterwards by the

water front, Fort street wharf. Alakea
street dock, Naval Wharf No 1, the
Healani Club, Channel wharf and the
Myrtle Club were all filled with a gay
holiday crowd in their BEST attire. all
ready to cheer for their favorites.
Berger with his band was stationed
on the Eva end of the Channel wharf
and played martial airs at five minutes
intervals.
The harbor was filled with the yachts
getting ready for the start of their
races. The small row boats were
very much in evidence, plying
back and forth to the different vessels
anchored in the harbor All the ships
and boat houses were gaily decorated
with various colored flags, and the
scene was all that one could wish for
such day.
Promptly at 9:35 the PREPARATORY
gun for the first race was fired from
the Judges boat, and the crews came
alongside and Capt. Carter tossed up
coin for position. Crew No. 2 won
the toss and chose the makai position
The crew from the Iroquois chose the
center course, while the Pilot boat crew
took the mauka course. The starting
gun was fired at 9:41. No. 2 boat got
on at a jump, followed a second later
by the Navy crew who broke an oar on
the port side forward. A second lat
er new oar was shipped and the crew
started at a quick steady stroke. AS
the crews reached the lighthouse, Crew
No. 2 crossed to the center of
the course and the flag anchored on
the mauka side of the lighthouse was
turned over by the starboard oars of
the Navy boat
At the Spar buoy the boats were
punched together but the Navy crew
crept Slightly ahead, and as the boats
turned the Navy crew were a short dis
lance in the lead, the other two crews
following closely behind.
On the home stretch the boats were
very well punched, the Navy boat be-
ing slightly in the lead AS the boats
were abeam of the lighthouse the Navy
crew were at least six boat lengths in
the lead, followed by Crew No O. The
last crew gave up the race before they
reached the lighthouse.
1t was 1O:3O:20 when the starting
gun was fired for the second and big
gest race of the day. The two crews
got OF about even and with a steady
36-stroke started on their way.
AS they reached the Judges boat
about six inches separated the two
crews. Both crews were rowing very
steadily At the turn the Myrtles were
in the lead by at least a length. On
the trip back the Healanis seemed to
loose heart and the Myrtles pulled
gradually ahead At the lighthouse
the Myrtles were leading by siI
lengths, pulling a steady 32. The Hea.
