Grays revenged their treatment by Rorty in Providence, Saturday night, by first influencing Tommy Leahy that the shin pads which Mallory wore last week and also wore last evening were not over nine inches, and by also defeating the locals in a whirlwind game by the score of 5 to 2. However, surrounding their double victory there remains film of doubt, as George Bone announces that he will protest the contest.
 When Leahy stepped up to Nal lory and measured his guards the crowd of nearly 2,100 fans hooted and yelled, Make him take them in" Leahy after two or three measures stepped back and pom dered, then measured them again. Bone, seeing that he appeared in doubt concerning their size, skated up to him and told him that the rule from Secretary Fyne to each of the referees stated that there must be no side appliances on the guards. Tommie, not having been home since the orders were sent out to the officials, said he had received no let ter and that as the pads were but nine inches wide there was no reason why the game couldn't pro- ceed. Bone stammered words of protest while McGilvray, although knowing he and the referee were in the wrong, would not give in, but told Leahy to get busy and start the game. Seeing that there was no use in arguing, Bone did not protest further. The lineup and summary:

Democratic Territorial Meet Called for Sept

the Republicans.

edge over the Wailuku malcontents
The first Kepoikai fight was between
these factions, although time has
seemed to show that in winning the
Baldwin forces made losing. The
latest Kepoikai dilemma is hailed with
glee by the Coke-Case wing, which
however, had to submit TO being push
ed to one side at the last precinct
club election in their own camp.
1t IS to take advantage of this fac
tional strife that the Democratic lead
ers are fastening to Maui.
NEW REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
Political gossipers about the fishmar-
ket, where the political pulse is sup
posed to beat, had a new candidate for
the mayoralty to talk about yesterday.
This time it is Fred Beckley whom the
office is to seek, a small but busy
bunch circulating the news in hoarse
whispers that at last the Moses had
been found who could lead the Hawai-
ians to the promised land of political
patronage. 1t was stated that Beckley
was only waiting for boom to be
headed past him to hop on and ride
into office.
His boosters are the members of the
Hawaiian Sons Voters hui, who claim
that Beckley is the only man who can
go into the fight and beat Harvey at
his own game among the Labor party
voters. Harvey, by the way, is deny
ing that he has any idea of getting into
any contest with anybody for the big
civic job. being satisfied at the pros
pect of going back again as a Demo-
cratic supervisor.
In order, probably, to magnify Beck
Iey's chances it was also talked around
yesterday that Beckley would be cam

Cupid withdrawing for any reason but
would not consider any nomination, no
matter how much the popular demand

as his friend, the present Delegate.
wanted the post This was referred
to as being particularly magnanimous
on his part.
In response to the story published
Yesterday that A. NJ. Brown still har-
bored a shrievalty bee in his bonnet,
there were many denials from many
sources, various representatives OF
various factions all uniting in their
statements of belief that Brown was
out of it entirely The use that Vierra,
Vincent, Willie Crawford and Clark
and some others in the Fifth We're
making of Browns name was declared
to be entirely without authority and
without the knowledge of the former
sheriff All of which may be so. 1t

Republican party now looking for NOM

RELIGIOUS EDITORS AT ODDS
OVER SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
Dr. GuIick Would Have the Puritan Sunday
and DR.. Scudder Contends for a
More Reasonable One.

Rev. DR.. Oramel H. Gulick con-
tributes the following to The Friend:
In The Friend of July, over the sig
nature of D. s., DIR. Scudder gives his
views upon Sunday baseball, in the fol-
lowing language:
"a stroll in Gods open air. a horse
back ride, a drive. a refreshing swim,
a game of golf itself the acme of quiet
exercise. baseball, who will dare to set
a limit and declare one to be a sin
and the others innocent? We live in q
day when honest men will endure no
befogging of issues. The Church can no
longer say this or that is tabu' unless
there is clear moral distinction be-
tween the thing forbidden and those
tolerated. Sunday has two reasons for
being, both fundamental. The first is
the need for rest. The second is the
necessity for social worship. IF a man
is confined closely within doors six
days every week, the physical demand
for rest will force him to take outdoor
recreation on Sunday"
1t is a matter of deep regret to me
that DR.. Scudder should feel himself
called upon to use the columns of The
Friend for setting forth the views in
dicated in the above quotation. | do
not think them to be in accord with the
commands of God as given in the Old
Testament, or in harmony with the
teachings of the New Testament.
They are subversive of the teachings
of those who SO effectually planted the
Gospel seed upon these islands. 1t is
especially uniting that The Friend,
established and maintained by the
Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical AS
sociation for the conserving and up
building of the Gospel Kingdom, should
be thus used for the pulling down rath-

KULA SUFFERING
FROM DROUGHT
No Rain Since Last November
and Great Suffering
Results.

| The following letter describing the
| drought situation in Kula, Maui, was
I.received yesterday by Governor Frear.
1t was referred by the Governor to Su-
perintendent of Public Works Marston
Campbell. Mr.. Campbell has kept in
touch with the situation there, and had
expected to go there this week him
self to investigate, bnt the accident he
met with prevented him. Assistant
Superintendent Kluegel will go up next
week.
1t is hard to see what relief the
government can give. There is no ap-
preparation for any such relief as the
letter suggests. There seems no way
of bringing relief.
However, Mr.. Kluegel will go and
will make a thorough study of the sit
uation and if there is any way by
which relief can be brought he win
suggest it. In addition he will secure
such information. as, embodied in
report will furnish the legislature with
complete knowledge of conditions.
Among those who have signed the
communication TO the TOVefHoF are H.
F. Baldwin, H. A. Baldwin, f. F. Bald
win and W. o. Aiken. Many Chinese
and Portuguese are among the petition
ers.
The petition is as follows:
To the Honorable W. F. Frear. Gov
ernor of the Territory of Hawaii.
''The petition of the undersigned
citizens. voters, residents and taxpay-
ers of Kula, County of Maui, respect
fully represents;
!" That since the month of November
last there have been no rains in that
section of Kula between Makawao and
Ke0kea;
''That animals are dying daily in
great number;
THAT almost all your petitioners
are now without water for domestic
purpose;

ORRAMEL H. GULICK.
July goth, 1908.
In later sentence of the above arti-
derss good-natured rejoinder:
It We're we'll worth the effort of a
hundred editorials to evoke such a
splendid little bunch of hot shot as that
contained in the communication from
Fellow Editor Orramel Fl. Gulick on
another page. At a recent meeting of
our Editorial Board one of the most
ardent of our number suggested that
The Friend would improve with more
matter in a lighter or livelier vein. All

Mr.. Gulick's communication fills the
bill. It also gives the occasion for say
ing a bit more on the Sunday question.
That little editorial of last month
which gets such a basting could hardly
be expected to cover the whole ground.
Tt had but one objective, namely to
show that while the Church does not
(and should not) bother itself with
laying down rules as to how individuals
must act on Sunday in contradistinc-
tion with other days, it is tremendously

cations and men lovers generally in de-

only will the city be filed with the
delegates to the Republican Territorial
convention, but the Democrats have
decided to have their Territorial con-

This date was chosen at a meeting
of the Democratic central committee
last night and a committee appointed
to formulate the call and pave the
way fer successful gathering of the
unterrifed.
This committee consists of Ed. Ing.
ham, chairman of the central commit
tee, and John Emmeluth the secre-
tary, who will select the dates for the
precinct nominations and elections and
arrange all the preliminaries for the
Territorial and county convention

three days after the G. 0. P. names
are known, with the elections of dele.

The Democrats do not intend to let
any grass grow under their feet and
will evidently push the fighting in the
campaign from the start. Following
the meeting in Aala Park last Satur-
day where the slim attendance was

given of the meeting, it was arranged
last night to hold ratification meet

same place, to have the band out and
to advertise the affair thoroughly. At
this meeting the nomination of Bryan
is to be ratified and the delegates
course endorsed, while the local cam

land and bring the scattered sheep
into the fold. while McCandless will
study the land question from the other
side and gather some material for his

The Democrats on Maui are said TO
be in bad shape. Tt is acknowledged
by the Republicans that the Democrats
have majority of the votes, when
combined with the Home Rule and
