CAN NOT VOTE AT ALL.
Those Who Signed Both Republican
and Democratic Petitions.

Assistant Attorney General John
Dawson, in an opinion today holds that
a man who has been so unwise SIS to
sign both a Democratic and Republican
nomination paper, has thereby dis
franchised himself as a voter at the
primary election
There are probably not many such
cases in Kansas, but it seems that there
may be some in Trego county, for
County Attorney Herman Long has
written to inquire about the effect of
such an action. Mr.. Dawson says in
his opinion:
Persons who have signed both Re
publican and Democratic petitions are
in a peculiar predicament. I do not see
how they can legally and safely vote
at the primary; if they call for Re
publican ballots on the ground that
they are Republicans, they are subject
to challenge, and they must then take
an oath that they have not signed the
petitions Of any candidate on any other
party ticket than the Republican tick
ct who is seeking nomination at that
primary. And If they take the oath

falsely, they are liable to punishment
for perjury, and precisely the same pre-
dicament awaits them if they profess
to be Democrats and ask for a Demo-
cratic ticket. They would be subject

Aurelio Herrera for purse of $4,000
The money was put in a shoW-window
and the gate receipts were up to nearly
$4,000 on the day set for the battle.
Herrera came to weigh in, but the
scales We're out of order and there was
a fuss on the instant Herrera and
his manager went off to supper and
Nelson went to a Turkish bath to
weigh IN on proper scales.
At the ringside Nelson claimed the
weight forfeit, which was quite right
and proper, and Herrera foolishly re-
fused on account of the scales not hav-
ing been ready at the time set for
weighing in. Then Nelson walked into
the ring and stated that he would fight
Herrera at any weight and waive the
forfeit money. Herrera accepted, and
the fight was just about to start when
Billy Nolan butted in and refused to
allow his man TO fight. He thought
he was making a big bluff and would
get the forfeit money, but, instead, he
got the execrations of the fans and a
name that is about the same as

! The crack Santa Clara College base
ball nine, intercollegiate champions of
the West, will try conclusions next
Wednesday with the navy boys from
the U. s. S. Milwaukee, who have
trimmed everything with a reputation.
Both teams have demonstrated their
class, and viii undoubtedly treat the
fans to a battle royal. Both teams
have the honor of claiming stars Kill
burn and Shafer of the Mission College
lads have enviable regulations in the
baseball world, while Captain Daniels
of the Navy boys is a big league posi-
bility.
The collegians viii use southpaw
Kilburn and "Pudgy'' Shafer to dish
up the fireworks, with Daniels and Fort
opposing them. Both teams are in rare
fettle for thrilling contest, and each
team expects victory. The sailors will
make the nimble eollegians go some if
their performance of Saturday is taken
as criterion. Their record on the
Coast is replete with brilliant perform
ances, having trimmed aH-comers.
Here is the probable lineup. The

point quite so high as the Gladys, can
outfoot her in any kind of sea and
it is quite possible that Bob Scott viii
show his lights to the judges on the
wharf before they see the red, white
and blue of the Hawaii.
In speaking of the race, Mr.. King
of the Gladys said: "This is going
to be an awfully hard race for small
boat like the Gladys, but. we want to
go in for the sport of the thing and
show these visitors what some of our
small yachts can do. With the rain
hanging round it is quite possible that
we shall have light winds, and then you
MAX look out for the little Gladys.
C. T. Wilder, acting commodore Of
the Hawaii Yacht Club, will leave for
Hilo this morning on the Mauna Kea.
He will reach the finishing point be-
fore the yachts and will make arrange
ments there for proper Judging, so that
there may be no mistake as to who
comes in first.
After the race, the visiting yachts
will remain at anchor in Hilo harbor
for few days while the yaehtsmen
visit the volcano. Then they will up
anchor and set sail for the Coast-the
Lur1ine and Lady Maud to San Pedro,
and the Gwendolyn III. to Seattle.
All arrangements for the start have
been made, and launches will be on
hand to tow the yachts out to the
starting point. Young Brothers boat
will take the Lurline out. and then act
as judges, starters and press boat.
The start of the race will be one well
worth witnessing, as it may be long
time before six yachts of that size
can be seen iockeying for start of
the mouth of the harbor-a wonder
fully picturesque sight.

quently guilty of this than the average
fight manager. Here is one Frank
Macdonald, commonly known as
Molly He is a short, thiek-set in
dividual and has smattering of
knowledge about boxing and physical
culture
BY mixture of gall and e1everness
he managed to butt in and get Cans
to allow him to pose as his trainer
for the fight with Nelson at Goldfeld
Everybody in the know smiled, for
Cans is wellknown as his own trainer,
and MOLLY" was well laughed at
while he posed and strutted around
telling everybody that he was the
greatest trainer in the world. He
made such q nuisance of himself in
Los Angeles that Tom MeCarev order
ed him out of his office and the chief
of police handed him a foater a few
DAYS later.
Now " Molly comes out with long
talk about Cans not being properly
trained for his latest fight with Nell
son. He intimates that this was due
to the fact that Macdonald did not
do the training. If the Coast papers
would only cease to give ear to these

less opposition to the best game on

RACE TO HILO

Continued from Page One)
Molokai to pass the island on the
weather side.
There is no handicap for any of the
entries and each yacht will sail on her
own merits over course that is about
the hardest of its kind in the world.
The wind will be dead ahead part Of
the way and not fair enough for light
sails over the balance of the way The
sea will be big and nasty and the larg
est of the yachts will have no dry
spot on their decks during the race.
It is race for a hard working crew
and the men who take their yacht first
past the whistling buoy at Hilo will
know that they have been in race.
With the changes that have been
made in her ballast, the Hawaii is
conceded to have a splendid chance to
win. In her trial on Sunday she acted
more like a thing of life than she has
done before and those who are to sail
on her all express themselves as being
sure that she viii be very fast on the
wind under the new conditions.
Those who were out in her yesterday
expressed themselves very emphatical-
ly as to the immense Improvement eff
feeted bv the removal of the ballast.
Mr. Sam Lyle delivered himself Of a
veritable 'sbon mot when he was ask
ed what he thought about taking out
the FIVE tons of ballast. He said, She
is twice the boat she Was.3
Mr.. Lyle s. sentiments are expressed
by all the others who were out on the
Yacht. and enthusiasm will be. aided
by confidence when the Pride of the
Islands skins over the starting line to-
day. Commodore Cooper reiterated his
sentiments as published in the Adver-
tiser yesterday, and stated that he felt
sure that the yacht would surprise
everybody when she started on the long
beat to windward.
Ray Rietow, the yachtsman who sail
ed on the Hawaii on the transpacifc
race, expressed himself as delighted
with the change "She is as stiff as
a church, he said. EYou could take
out a whole lot more ballast and then
not get her lee rail under. I believe
that she would carry more sail and
still stand up nicely when other boats
are wallowing and making a hard time
of it, -
Prince Kuhio was well pleased with
the showing made by the yacht, and
states that there will be one man
aboard whose heart is in the race and
whose muscles will work overtime if
necessary. Those who know the Prince
feel assured that every ballard will
be bowsed down and every sheet bow
stringed while the Hawaii is thrashing
the waves to windward.
Judging by the forecast of the
weather prophets, there IS chance
that the wind will fall light. Should
this be the case. there is every hkeli-
hood that one of the two sloops will
be the winner. The Gladys can point
better than any of the others on the
wind, and in a light breeze she is liable
to nose past all the larger yachts and
make the Hilo landfalI before any Of
them. IF the wind should be fairly
light and the sea still rolling high, the
