TAYLOR WILL GET
A PROVOST GUARD

Chief of Detectives A. p. Taylor,
who is in San Francisco looking into
fleet welcoming conditions from a po-
lice standpoint, writes that he feels
certain of being able to arrange for the
landing of provost Is guard from the
battleships to assist the local police in
handling the situation here, Chief Biegy
of San Francisco having arranged to
do the same thing in his city. The
Chief reports that there is an appalling
amount of crime in San Francisco at
the present time, holdups and robber-
les being of everyday occurrence.
In watching how the San Francisco
police handle crowds the Honolulu Of
feer became one of the hunted for
short time He says: - I heard Emma
Goldman make one of her speeches on
anarchy. She plainly calls it AN
archy,' and urges her audiences to
break any law they choose TO. The
police watch her closely. Last Sunday
she spoke in a hall, and I stood on

police charged across the sidewalk. and

MOVE EMENT AGAINST
SUNDAY PRIVILEGES

There is a movement on foot to in
duee the Board of License Commission
ely to refuse the renewal of the Sunday
privileges to the Grill and Scotty's. Not
much publicity has been given to the
movement but it has been presented
to the commissioners and they are now
struggling with the problem. So far
there seems to be no disposition to
shut off the Sunday booze at the IL
censed hotels
The commissioners are divided over
this question, at least one of them be-
ing inclined to listen to the antis and
vote against any downtown Sunday
beer. At the other end is at least one
commissioners who thinks that there
ought to be at least one more Sunday
license granted, thinking that he two
places now favored will not be able to
handle the Sunday thirsts when there
are several thousand sailors ashore and

a flash. Roberts was rushed TO the
ropes and both men went down. The
sailor was as slippery as an eel, how
ever and managed to avoid danger He
got Mitsuka down with combination
choke hold which the referee would
not allow and amid a scene of wild
excitement the men took their posi-
tions again.
Both men We're wary for a while and
neither was able to get an effective
hold. Roberts did some foxy and pref
ty work on the defensive and seemed
to look on the bout as a joke. He
patted the Jap on the back and told
him not to be discouraged.
Mitsuka went to the mat and it
looked as if Roberts would pin him.
The Jap bridged well, however, and
Roberts was only able to get one
shoulder down. Mitsuka showed great
strength
The referee got the men on their
feet again and Mitsuka rushed the
sailor to the ropes and both went down
in one of the corners. Roberts got
both of Mtsuka's shoulders down, win
ming a fall with a half Nelson.
The house was in pandemonium

fore they viii help to defend 1T.
All should unite then in wishing that
all the efforts of the government may
be devoted to making Honolulu the
citadel of the Hawaiian Is1ands-for If
it is well fortified and garrisoned no
attack will ever be made upon it by
any foreign power-because the difficult
ty and expense of taking it will be so
great. and no nation with whom we
might be at war. would attempt to
secure a position on any Of the other
islands. as long as Honolulu was well
fortified well garrisoned and had at Its
command a proper naval force.
I believe that the government intends
to make Pearl Harbor a strong Naval
station and Naval base. If so, so much
the better for Honolulu and the Is
lands-for, in time of war. there must
be a strong garrison to defend the
Naval station and also a strong fleet
to defend both the station and the city.
In conclusion let me say, that firm
ly believe that in case Of attack by q
foreign power, the larger portion Of the
foreign population of Honolulu would
be found fighting on our slde-and /
feel quite sure that the Hawaiian Ma
tionaI Guard and such other militia as
might be on hand at that time, would
give satisfaction-and do its part well
in defense of our beloved city and
country.

RUSHED AT EACH OTHER
LIKE TWO WILD STEERS
Roberts Beat Mitsuka by Superior Skll---Match
Was Sensational and Created
Wild Excitement

A large crowd filled the Orpheum
last night to witness the wrestling and
boxing bouts and enjoyed a good
evenings sport. The events were al
well contested. and everything passed
off without hitch.
The main event, catch-as-catch-car
contest between Mitsuka, the. giant
Jap, and Sailor Roberts of the Iro-
quois, was won by the latter in straight
falls, after sensational encounter.
The Jap was there with the strength
and aggressiveness, but Roberts had
it on him in skill, and skill won out.

so per cent. of which went to the
principals in the main event, on the
basis of 10 per cent. to the winner and
% per cent. to the loser.
The program started with two pre-
liminary contests for the Japanese
wrestling championship of the Terri
tory, with Mitsuka barred.
The entrants We're all big, willing
men. and furnished capital sport.
Isoarashi won from Ichinoto in the
first bout, getting the first and third
falls.
Mashikiyama lost to Akiraka in the
second preliminary, the latter getting
the. first and third falls. The third
fall took fifteen minutes to secure.
Isoarashi was suffering from a very
sore shoulder, and on this account the
final round consisted of only one fall,
which Isoarashi won. The ex-champion
is strong and game and was treated
to a generous hand when he downed
his man with a pretty throw.
Between the first and final rounds of
the wrestling preliminary, Young Scott
and Greek Anderson figured in a four
round sparring exhibition, in which no
decision was given by Referee TAFT. If
there had been decision Scott would
have won. He was in good shape and
boxed well, using pretty left to ad
vantage. Anderson was bu1r fat, but
showed that he has improved with the
mitts since last seen in the local ring
Charlie Chillingworth kept time for
the bout
The way was thus cleared for the
main event. Announcer Ayres intro
duced the men and Referee Harry
Cobb. Roberts was warmly applauded
on appearing, and Mitsuka was not
forgotten in this respect either.

was attended by three of his country
men.
Roberts, who looked in the pink of
condition, weighed $50 pounds. Nit
suka was fifteen pounds heavier.
The men went at each other like
mad bulls, and Mitsuka rushed his
man to the ropes and, picking him up,
threw him face downward among tha
chairs.
Referee Cobb called both men to the
center of the mat and gave them hold
for hold. The Jap threw Roberts on

every man who wished to the opportun-
ity to appeal directly the people for
an election, thus saving large expense

Seth Q. Pulver, who has recently
opened law Office in Owosso, having
come from Tuscola county where the
political game is played as fast as it is
in any county in the State, responded
to calls and gave brief talk which drew
forth repeated applause. He too, was

in the campaign, said he knew the Re-

to allow any soreness over defeats in
the primary to sway their action and
predicted sweeping victory in No

present that Mr.. Pulver will be great
help in the campaign as he is vigorous
and entertaining speaker.
Chairman Bigelow referred to the

he felt sure of its election and promised

You feel so important and happy and tall
You have some new dresses, ana in your new

New studies with lovely queer jumbles and

And teacher looks fresh and q little bit fat,
And wears the most fummery, summery hat;
You wonder how some day twill feel to be old,
And never be scolded, and never be told"
The blackboard is painted all shiny and black
And somehow, it really is good to be back.
There's Amy and Harriet, Mary and Gwen,
And Maribel Mathers, who has the gold pen.
And Maribel's doing her hair new way.
And has new bracelet that's locked on to stay.
You wish that mama weren't so strict about

That you could wear brooches and bracelets
and rings

And teacher, quite often, goes out In the hall;
We whisper, but teacher comes back with a
