nonsense:
THE kilograms statement in Sat
urday's baseball extra to the effect
that Umpire Holland was escorted
from Union Park by policemen after
the game with Fairmont is most GER
tainly fragrant error. As "a matter
of fact Umpire Holland walked from
the grounds in the usual manner and
unmolested."

instructions to accompany Umpire

Ella Wheeler Wilcox's coming to Ho-

signal for a host of people to send UP
cards to room SO at the Alexander

when she who has advised, in poesy

door a regular mat of cards bearing
the names of folks who begged an
early audience Some We're from peo-
pie who just wanted to feel the pres

Rocky Mountain News-A claim to
property of enormous value in Homo

settled through diplomatic negotiations
between the American and Swedish
governments, is held by Mrs. Mary l..
Smidt, an aged Swedish woman living
in Denver. Mrs Smidt s claim, if final

estimated at millions of dollars. She
is preparing to leave in a few weeks
for Honolulu, where she will make ev-
ery effort to locate the real estate
whieh was owned by her husband thir-
ty years ago.
Mrs. Smidt lived until recently at
1907 Walnut street. At present she is
rooming on Blake street between Thir-
ty-sixth and Thirty-seventh streets. She
has lived in Denver for years and is
well known among the Swedes in her
neighborhood.

The supervisors held the star chat.
tering bout of the past year at theil
session last night. Things went a1ons
swimmingly and at $50 o'clock il
looked like an adjournment right
away. Then Fern introduced reso-
luFion that a new head of the Gar
bage department pc appointed on the
absurd ground that the cleanliness OF
the city demanded it and that Sam
Johnson, the present superintendent,
was too busy to give the work the
attention that it needed.
1t looked like a cut and dried thing
"a premeditated salary graft and the
Democrats fought for the resolution
tooth and nail.
Chairman Hustace wanted a vote
on the resolution deferred until the
next meeting. Fern and company
thereupon got up on their hind legs
and roared, For two hours and a
quarter the wordy warfare was waged
with both sides insisteat on their
points and it was not until 1925 that
Fern and Harvey succumbed to ex-
haustion and Hustace rushed through
a motion to adjourn.
The matter will come up for fur
ther discussion next Wednesday and
in the meantime both sides will grid
themselves carefully for the fray.
The Garbage department as now
run gives satisfaction and for some
time past the finances have taken on
a roster tinge. There is every pros
pect that this desirable state of af-
fairs will continue.
The proposal to put new man at
the head of the department is cloth
ed in vagueness as far as the ques-
ton of ways and means is concerned
and there is no doubt that the re-
suit of such an experiment would be
that the salary of the position would
go to pay a political debt or to Sc
cure mortgage on political assist
ance. The county would be put to
greater expense and the city wouldn'ti

son Mrs. Smidt is trying to have her
claim looked up by the Swedish gov
ernment.
In 1868 Charles /. Smidt went to
Hawaii. He stayed there until 1880
and acquired large amount of real
estate in what is now the heart of
Honolulu. Finally he got into some
trouble and left the island, return
ing to Denver He left his property
in the hands of three friends as trus-
tees. The names of two of the men
were Chamberlain and Park. The name
of the third trustee is unknown
The management of the property by
the trustees was decidedly unsatisfac-
tory and Smidt made up his mind to
return to Honolulu and take charge
of the property himself. Before he
could make arrangements to go back,
however, he died in the late sos.
Mrs. Smidt has retained Wayne C.

message to Congress about the i'm

Since then the President has been
showing further interest in fortifying
Hawaii. He has been writing to mem
bers of Congress calling their atten-
ton to the conditions there and to the
necessity for appropriations. He has
also talked with many Congressional
callers about the need of liberal ar-

Coast and in Hawaii. ~g
CHAIRMAN HULLS VIEWS.
Chairman Hull, of the House Com
mittee on Military Aaffirs, has re-
ceived one of the Presidents letters.
Incidentally it has converted him to
the Presidents way of thinking, and
while Mr.. Hull is not a member of the
committee which prepares the forti-
fications measure, he stands ready 20
give his support to a liberal bill.
+'I endorse every word the President
says about the desirability of fortify-
ing not only the Pacific Coast, but the
Hawaiian Islands, said Mr.. Hull re-
Gently.
THE Presidents letter referred ex-
clusively to Hawaii. which he appar-
entity regards as the vital point, in a
strategic sense, in the West. There is
no place on the entire continental Uni
ted States so greatly in need of pow
erful batteries as Pearl Harbor. IN
my opinion it is far more essential to
fortify it than San Francisco, Puget
Sound or any of the other coast cities.
1.-The reason is simple. If an enemy
We're to take possession of Hawaii it
would have a base from which it could
