CLEMENT TO RAGE
 CHAMPION STUBBS
GREAT ENGLISH MOTORCYCLES TO MEET LOCAL CHAMPION IN RACES AT FAIR GROUNDS NEXT uRDAY-GREAT SPORT.

The motorcycle races that are billed for Saturday at the fair grounds promise to be the best ever held here.
 The Birmingham Motorcycle club. after a great deal of trouble and expense. have secured Mir, Clement of England to race Robert Stubbs d series of matches Sat urday. MT, Clement has been following the motor game for a number of years and still holds the worlds record for one mile standing start in one minute fiat. l4e also won the classic motorcycle race oI the world 10S miles on a hily course, at an average speed of 401a miles per hour. Clement will use the same ma chine that he used so successfully In Europe and expects to give Stubbs a good drubbing. On the other hand, Stubbs ex- poets to make his little four-horsepower Indian take the Englishmans measure in two straight heats. He figures while the other machine may be faster on the stretches that ne can more than make up for it on the curves, so at best the race will be of the kind that kills
 Besides the big match race the club has put on four other races for local talent.
 They have already secured a sanction from the Federation of American Motor cyclist for this event
 Races begin promptly at o'clock.

Durmever Is a Winner.

Columbus Miss, April 2.-(Special.)- J. Samples tricks and bluffs and Mays hard work in the box were a vastly different sort of ball playing. The latter made Vicksburg lose the third straight game to the locals.
 Durmeyer was the feature today. Four times up he made two drives for two sacks each; a clean single brought in two of .the four runs. and he accepted 10 pretty chances and his error in the first inning was not costly at all. Sample IS a wonder It is plainly visible that he Is no pitcher, but his bluffs and tricks seem to get the best of those who face him. Score. R.H.E.

HONOLULU WILL NEED
ANOTHER SCHOOLHOUs|

An appropriation to build a new
twelve-room schoolheuse in Honolulu,
added funds for the repair and exten.
sion of the existing schools and $740,.
900 for the payment of teachers saia.
ries will be asked for at the next ses.
sion of the Legislature by the Super
intendent of Education. Already Su-
perintendent Babbitt is figuring on the
wants of his department afor the next
biennial period, and the above will be
some of them.
just now he is figuring to make both
ends meet on the balace of the appro-
priations made for the schools at the
last session and the way the demand
for money has run ahead of the supply
is taxing his genius as a mathematician
to find a solution of his problem The
growth In school attendance has been
large, so large that the calculations as
to accommodations have already been
largely exceeded. Conditions during
the past year were better than ever be-
fore, but this year is going to witness
more overcrowding of schools. while
within the next two years, with the
additional population that will certain
ly come to this island as a result of the
opening up of Pearl Harbor. the estap-
fishing of fortifcations and the good
times generally with the plantations.
there is going to be great pressure on
the schools to provide anything near
adequate accommodations.
AT the present time, according to Mr..
Babbitt, the department could use TWEEN
ty more teachers to advantage, but be-
ing short of funds, not having sufficient
to meet the advances in salaries called
for under the adopted salary schedule,
the question of engaging more teachers
is out of reason.
At the teachers meeting on Monday
the final readiustment of positions viii
be made and the teachers will be mott
fed of the positions that the depart
ment will have to offer them.

Although appreciating the Governor s
kindly suggestion, itself a commenda-
tion of the work of the Atlantic Fleet
committees, it was the opinion. of many
of those present yesterday that the
committees are too bulky, and smaller
ones would be preferable. Although
none desired to shirk further duties III
connection with the coming of the Pa
cifc fleet in September, yet it was
deemed better for the Governor to ap-
point smaller committees, especially on
the subcommittee, giving two men, at
least, the work to do instead of twenty.
In order that this expression might be
conveyed properly and a full explana-
tion made, the chairman was authorized
to confer with Governor Frear in the
premises.
A letter which was read at the meet
ing gave notice of a new departure in

Honorable Oe0rge w. omICn, HONOLULU,
T. II.
My dear Sir: In the absence of Mr..
Carter, chairman of the feet committee,
[ take the liberty of addressing you as
next in line on that committee. / un-
derstand that the members of the COM
mittee are considering or are about to
consider the question of resigning and
turning over the funds remaining in
their possession to myself or some other
custodian. While it is only natural that
the members of the committee should
contemplate such action now that they
have fulfilled the duties for which the
committee was called into being, it
seems to me, inasmueh as there is a
balance of funds on hand and another
fleet of large size, the Pacific fleet, Is
expected here only about a month from
now, that it would be better if the
committee and subcommittees would
continue to serve until after the visit
of that feet and regard themselves as
clothed with authority to act with rer>
erence to that visit The members or
the committee and subcommittees are
now in better position to act by rea>
son of their experience than new COM
mittees would be and, indeed, If new
committees should be appointed they
would almost of necessity include many
and perhaps most of the members OF
the existing committees. 1t would seem
much better to avoid unnecessary diff
fieulties, inconyenienees and confusion
by attempting a. change. | hope there
fore very much that the members Of
the committees viii see their way clear
to continue to serve in their present
capacities with reference to the expect
ed visit of the Pacific fleet.
Very truly yours,
