heresy hunters are out of a JOB. A

Jonah swallowed the whale was the

he is not travelling so often On half

good old days had a remarkable fond

Cash and Courtesy
in Railroad Traffic.

The Florida railroad commission
has issued an order Interpreting the
state laws in regard to passes and to
mileage books Issued On credit against
open accounts for advertising, bal
ances payable in cash at stated inter
walls.
The Florida commission wisely says,
as regards intrastate passenger traffic,
what the Hepburn law wisely says re-
garding Interstate passenger traffic:
Cash must be paid the railroad for
transportation issued, unless to per-
the operating necessities of the road,
as part of the operating system of an
other road, families of employees and
their dependents, or under valid
eleemosynary stress.
Good for the Florida commission
1t might have claimed an assumed
right to construe the state law less in
consonance with the language of the
law and more in consonance with the
views OF those who want to ride on
passes but deny them to others. By
its ruling that newspapers and other
publications can not keep open &C
counts, with advertising on one side
and intrastate transportation on the
other, balances being payable in cash,
the Florida state commission has in
terpreted the state law according to
its obvious, intent, which, to the credit
of Florida, is in harmony with the
equitable, common-sense, special priv
neges to none" sentiment of the
whole American people, as written in
the Hepburn act.

who was formerly boxing instructor at
the Olympic Club, writes to the Bulletin
as follows about the Murphy Welch
fight:
az am writing you about the WEIGH
Murphy fight which took place here
last night, to let our San Francisco
friends know that it was n very hard
and fast contest. From the first to the
seventh round it was a very even one;
from that to the twelfth everybody was
surprised to see Johnny outlook the
clever Englshman, and had he followed
that style he would have had a great
chance to win. But he went back to
boxing in and smuggling, and from that
time on Welch gradually pulled ahead.
Both boys were greatly handicapped by
wet ring, caused by heavy dew
falling. 1t made it almost impossible
for either to keep his feet. Many who
bet that Johnny would not stay twenty
rounds were greatly disappointed when
he passed the twenty rounds strong.
Considering his nineteen years of age
and the fact that he had never travelled
in such fast company before, he made a
most remarkable showing. Should he
continue to improve as he has in the
past year he will soon be with the top
notchers. | write You this, as / feel
that he is entitled to a great deal of
credit for his work. -

ONE DESIGN
CLASS COMING

1t is coming, not now, but very soon
a one-design class of small boats for
Honolulu harpor sailing. Gradually
but surely, the seed has sunk deep into
the hearts of the local yachtsmen and
is taking root. just exactly how "a
seed takes root in heart it is hard to
say, but it is doing it just the same.
The picture of boat designed by
Walker, published in the Advertiser
last Sunday, is the first of many ideas
to be brought forth for consideration.
The dimensions of this design are 10
feet over all, 4 feet inches beam,
feet q inches draft with center board
down. Sail area, 95 square feet in
mainsail and Is sqaure feet in jib.
This makes very attractive design,
but some of the local sailors have crit
icisms to make. The beam is hardly
sufficient to insure absolutely against
capsizing, which is a sine qua non with
a boat of this design in waters where
sharks abound, so they say.
This little craft should be very
fast one in moderate breeze, and is
just right for two men to handle. There
is one other disadvantage to it, and
that is the price. If a class of this
kind is to be started, the price must be
kept down as low as possible, and the
total of expense should not exceed 800.
This is about as much as the average
Corinthian can afford, and in order to
enable everybody who is enthusiastic
enough to buy boat to get into the
game the cost should be held down to
the capacity of the smallest purse.
A meeting of the Yacht Club will be
held soon, and it is expected that the
matter of small boat class will be
brought up then. There is no doubt
about the enthusiasm aroused on this
subject, and as soon as a practical
working design is submitted and pass
ed on there will be at least eight and
probably ten of these little craft built
and launched in the lIarbor.
w. II. MeInerny, G. II. Wilder and
others prominent in yachting circles all
speak favorably of the idea, and state
that they are anxious to see this small
class started. Mr.. McInerny goes so
far as to say that he knows of several
recruits to yachting who are anxious
to get in on the small boat start and
learn how to handle yacht in this
way.
Experience in other places shows that
this is great way to get people inter
ested in the grand sport of yachting.
After man has had small boat for
some time and has won few races he
is anxious to try his skill with a larger
RACER, and thus thirty-foot class is
started and the yachts sailed by men
who have learned the joy of racing on
the water in. small boats.

GERMAN WRESTLER COMES TO
AMERICA.

NEW YORK, August 15.-Another
foreign heavyweight wrestler is COM
ing to this country Ernest Siegfried.
who has held the championship Of
Germany for many years. Those who
have seen him perform on the mat
regard him as physically superior to
even George Hackenschmidt or the
late Turk, Yousouf. He stands six
feet three inches tall, weighs 252
pounds in condition, and is only 2S
years old. He measures twenty inches
around the neck. has a fifty-one inch
chest measurement and has a fore
arm covering fifteen inches and wrist
nine inches. His thigh is twenty
seven inches, calf seventeen inches and
bieeps eighteen inches.
Siegfried was born in Bremen and
entered the wrestling game in 1908. He
has defeated the best men all over
Europe, and It is said that he has re-
peatedly challenged Hackenschmidt,
whom he agreed to throw twice In an

ROLLERS DECISION
PLEASES SPORTS

No definite answer has been obtain
ed from the three wrestlers who are ex-
pected to meet DR.. Roller as yet. There
is little doubt, however, that they will
be there, and meanwhile the announce
ment In yesterdays Advertiser that
DIR. Roller would appear on the mat in
public here has caused small commo-
tion in town.
Everybody was talking about it in
sporting circles and in other circles be-
sides. This big athlete has kept very
much to himself and has been loath to
court any kind of publicity so that few
have had a chance to meet him and see
him work.
A man may keep to himself, but he
will be talked about just the same, and
every sportsman in Honolulu has been
anxious that the big man should make
a public exhibition of his skill. "Say,
have you seen Roller work7n or els
he as big as they say9" md hundred
other such queries may be heard every
day on the street.
BY consenting to appear publicly the
Doctor will make hit with the people
of Honolulu, and will leave behind him
the kindly memory which such fine
specimen of manhood deserves.

COAST EXPERTS
I DO NOT AGREE

sHow different are opinions taken
ON two points of view especially with
Regard to fights, is well illustrated by
rhe two following clippings from the

q sporting paper of that burg.
The first is from the pen of Mano A.

best informed sporting writers on the

The second is from De Witt Van

Z LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.-When
freddie Welch finished his job on
Johnny Murphy, the northern lad, last
might at Jeffries' Vernon Arena, the
tough San Francisco boy looked like
half.brother to liver sandwich. With
Z his face and left eye battered to pulp,
Murphy stuck through the last ten
rounds of the toughest going he ever
saw, and every fan who witnessed his
was able to stay to the end.

lclassed by a mile and a half. At no
+ station along the mussy route did the
Irish lad show he had anything that
would give him chance. Although he
exhibited all the gameness in the world
and kept on the return for all the
slaughter that was dshed up to him,
and time after time it looked as though
he was gone, he was no more than a
chopping block for the clever English
man, who could hit him whenever he
pleased. In the opening rounds Johnny
had the crowd with him for the manner
in which he went to work, as he looked
as though he was going to be able to
get at Welch at the infghting. 1t did
not take but short time for the Briton
solve that problem, and after that il
{L56ls nothing but an exhibition of how
