Kids Off the Stage Sport in Sand and Brine.
PolIard's Wards Under Strictest Dis
cipline Even in Play.

kin fellah WEAKLY float out heah
if he kips is mouth shut?" inquired
Master Charles Donaghey, one of the
Lilliputians, on that sunny afternoon
last week when the children of \the
company journeyed to Waikiki to try
the bathing. Charley is thirty-two
inches tall in his stockings and is pos
sessed of a gravity off the stage that
is something almost sepulchral. The
spot indicated by his pointing fore
finger, where a fellow could float, was
midway between the beach and the
raft, and there was a grave doubt in
his voice Many of the other Lillipu-
tians were frisking on the sands or
splashing merriIy near the shore line.
Charley was late in getting out of the
Guilty in reaching all the buttons be-
hind and there was no one who could
spare the time to help him.
'Git. out. Y'u couldn't kip yer mouth
shut if y'u could fly said Master
Freddie Heintz, spatting Charley with
a handful of wet sand, whereupon the
two made catch-as-catch-can Crap
pie and reeled into the surf.
It was just boy and girl that after
actor or actress dancer or singer-just
them almost babies. Unless some one
of the scores of townsfolk would per-
sist in talking stage to them, which
the children could not in politeness ig-
more, there was not one thing connect
ed with the theater mentioned among
the boys and girls, nor by the older
ones who accompanied them. They
were straight, plain kids out for a
holiday, and they wanted to forget all
about their lessons if people would
only let Them.
Dainty Miss Ivy Pollard screamed
with delight when a big drake stood
on his tail in the water to see the
children go by and the hundreds of
quackers in the Waikiki duck ponds
pleased her as much as she pleases
the hundreds who watch her at the
Orpheum every night. And other
things that the children of Honolulu
pass daily made the midgets of Pol
lard's company sit up in wide-eyed
wonder. 1t was a grand outing, that
day at Waikiki, enjoyed by the chill
dren almost as much as by the many
who thronged the beach to watch them
and take kodak pictures of them by
the score, beginning with street-car
ride and swim, and ending up with
a picnic on the grass of the Moana
lawn.
Manager Pollard and two or three
other grown-ups watched over the
children during the afternoon, not let
ting one get out of sight. Outside of
any personal feeling that Mr.. Pollard
mi ght have for the children, and there
is no doubling that there is much, he
has of necessity to guard them very
carefully from any possible harm. The
children are in his care, placed there
by parents who have full confidence
in him, and all are indentured as ap-
prentices to learn the actor trade. He
must return them to their parents,
when their apprenticeship is up, or
take the consequences. This, if there
were no other reasons, would Justify
the strict discipline maintained among
the boys and girls, a discipline soften
ed very, very much by the affection

Waiting at the Post

A Ribald Parody.
I've had nice bit of trouble, confess
Somebody with me has had game;
should by now have fortune n the bank
Instead of not penny to my name;
owned horse that II call Tom Thumb.
Matched him with another blooming skate,
Bet on him quite freely and drove him run
1 walked back home such my cruel fate.
CHORUS:
There was he waiting at the post,
Waiting at the post, waiting at the post;
When I my stack of greenbaeks roast
Lord how it did upset met
When the starter dropped his little flag,
My hopes began sag, my horse did nought but lag,
He didn't get away to the that day
The jockey wouldn let him. H. MA

LITTLE RED ROAM
BEAT THE MULE

Quite a crowd visited the Kapiolani
Park racetrack on Sunday morning to
witness a mile race between a mule
ridden by Alex Morrison and a red
roam horse with Billy McCourt UP.
The Ironworks sent a large delega-
ton to the track and a big commission
to back the mule was executed.
The race was run in the rain and
was a walkover for the sassy little
roam.
Owing to a dispute over the start,
another mile was run, the horse again
winning easily.

The chairman of the finance and pub
lie utilities committees of the board of
supervisors reviewed, with the city
engineer, yesterday the plans and esti-
mated expenses of the trip to be taken

TO PAY FOR PLANS
OF Ten ARCHITECTS
Competition of Craftsmen for
Hall of Justice Ideas
Is Proposed
Similar Contest for Obtaining
Hospital Drawings May
Be Adopted

Another competition among archi-
tects was conceived by the supervisors
building committee yesterday in the
recommendation to the board of an ap-
of $1,000 to divide among
10 craftsmen submitting the best plans
for the proposed bond issue $1,000, 600
hall of justice. Upon the submission
of the plans the successful one is to
be chosen, according to the scheme. by
board composed of the city architect,
member of both the police and the
works commissions, the mayor and two
supervisors.
A similar scheme, but involving the
expenditure of $4,000 in $1,000 lots,
has been proposed by the committee
in relation to the plans for the new
S2,OO0.000 hospital. Supervisor Mcheran
suggested yesterday that the board
might not take kindly TO these tenta-
tive expenditures for plans foredoomed
to be unused. but the project will be
put before the board for its approval.
Architect William Mooser was on
hand to assert his right under an old
appointment as the designer of the
$1,000.0Q0 hospital, unbuilt from the
1908 bond issue, to design the proposed
S2,000,600 structure, but pending the
opinion of the city attorney as to this
new claim nothing was done for him.

night as being slightly improved. Last
night and this morning his condition

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


SANTA BARBARA, July 2S.-With a
great hole stove in its port side, the
wreck of the steamer Anubis on the
reef off San Miguel nears its final
swirl into the depths of the Pacific.
Captain Won Salzen has abandoned
hope. All Sunday and yesterday west
early gales kicked up hign seas, which
caused Wrecker Greenwood to with
draw to safety, while all hands de-
serted the wreck and gathered on Flea
island.
Great seas pounded the wreck upon
the submerged peak tnat rammed far
through it's bottom and holds it pris-
ol1er. This morning a section of steel
plates on the port side gave way and
sank. leaving hole through which the
breakers dashed in fury. Power craft
on salvage bent returned here tonight
with tales of the beginning of the end
Ashore on Flea island the Chilean
and Mexican stevedores, who, with
weapons ready, have menaced one an
other for days, ceased hostilities in the
presence of the ships peril and watched
the vessel buffeting with the cruel, ir
resistible force upon that merclless
pinnacle.
Everything movable has been shifted
to shore or wrecker, and, practically
stripped, the Anubis awaits the last
grim moment when. split in twain by
impact on the reef, it will sink forever.
Hundreds of tons of flour, sugar and
grain have been salved by local mar
iners and the stuff is finding ready

Emergency Hospital
ChOked into InsensibiIity Before
Steward 0'Dea Comes TO
Assistance

Two nurses at the central emergency
hospital. Mrs. Catherine Fennessy and
Matron Ma" Kane. were attacked at
different times yesterday when they
entered the cell of Mrs. Frances Hall.
"A patient in the detention ward, who
had become suddenly violently insane.
Mrs Fennessy. was choked into insensi-
bility and nearly killed.
With her finger nails as weapons the
maniac woman guarded her fainting
victim as cat docs a captive mouse
when Steward James O'Dea and DR..
Charles Pinkham tried to rescue the
nurse. and she scratched their faces
I'LL the blood ran before they could
OVerpewer her. Mrs. Fennessy, who is
Of slight physique, did not recover con-
sciousness for 10 minutes after her
battle in the cell with the insane
woman, the marks of whose fingers
were printed deeply in her throat 'She
was sent TO her home at 261S Sacra-
mentO street in an ambulance.
MatrOn kane's experience was less
severe, for when she was attacked later
i'm the day by the still raving woman
she was able to look out for herself
until help came.
Mrs. Hall. the wife of an iron worker
living at 9IS Parker street, Berkeley,
became deranged after the birth and
death Of her fourth child several
months ago. A few days ago she was
sent to the hospital, but she seemed
very tractable. Yesterday morning, as
Mrs. Fennessy came to the cell with the
woman's breakfast, she told the nurse
that She was too weak to get out of
bed. Without thinking OF the danger
Mrs. Fennessy went inside.
In an instant the patient grasped the
nurse by the throat. The maniacal
shrieks OF the insane woman brought
DIR. Pinkham and Steward ODea just
i'm time, for Mrs Fennessy was already
unconscious. Mrs. Hall was finally put
in a straitjacket.
Nearly 10 hours later she seemed so
quiet that Matron Kane entered the
cell and undid the straps. The next
instant the matrOn herself was battling
for life but help was close at hand,
and this time the woman was strapped
10 her bed.
