went to them. This set went to the
Maui players 6-3. The final set went
the same way but each service was the
opening stroke of prolonged rally and
the score sheet shows a series of wan,

the final set 6-5 and seventeen games

scored
ENGLISHMEN PLAY WELL.
Forster and Davies went in against
Collins and Krumbhaar shortly before
twelve clock. The sun was high and
it was very warm but the Englishmen
played a rafting good game and kept
the home players hustling to keep ahead
of them. The first set had gone to the
Maui side 60 when there were SOUNDS
of lunch in the air. Outside the grounds
long table had been set up and a
crowd of Japanese walters were wait
ing to distribute the lunch to the crowd
inside the grounds. The hurrying and
scurrying of the little men caused some
commotion round the court so, the fifth
match having been finished on Mum.
Der One Court, the players changed
over. Even then the people began to
stream from the grandstand on to the
grounds for lunch and it was hard fer
the players to see just where they were
at But they kept playing and finally
finished the match with a victory for
the home players, 6-3, GO and Ga
After lunch great many of the spec
tators left the grounds for the victory
of the home team was assured as they
had a score of 81 to 70. The last match
between CONFESS and Castle for Oahu
and Frank Baldwin and Thompson for
Maui aroused great deal of enthusi-
asm from a crowd of ardent Oahuans
who lined the far side of the court.
CONFESS played in great form and serv
ed we'll but, both he and his partner
found the heat very trying and, after
winning an exciting set Sc they lost
the last two 6-1 and GO.
MAUIAN HOSPITALITY.
All the arrangements for the comfort
and convenience of the visitors were
perfectly made. Those who arrived on
the Mauna Kea last night were driven
in automobiles from the landing to Fu-

Puunene club. A special train met the
arrivals on the Mikahala this morning

ports of the various committees were
received and adopted without a muir
muir and not an attempt was made by
Atkinson or his forces to foist a Taft
instructed delegation on the conven-
ton. 1t was evidently recognized that
this was useless and it was allowed to
fall by the wayside without so much
as a murmur. Atkinson sat still in his
place among the delegates, as did
George R. Carter among the specta-
tors, and it seemed as if Taft had been
totally forgotten.
The committee on credentials was
the first to report and simply turned
in list Of the delegates who had been
duly accredited. The committee on
rules and permanent organization

ing that the temporary organization
be made permanent and outlining the

said. They We're as follows:
BE 1T RESOLVED by the Republi-
can Territorial Convention of Hawaii
in assembly convened at Honolulu ON
the 18th day of April, 19OS
l. That we heartily indorse the wise
and patriotic administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, commencing his prin-
ciples as being designed to promote
the best interests of all our people and
to secure the greatest good to the
greatest number.
2. We heartily endorse the wise and
conservative manner in which the af-
fairs of the Territory are being admin
istered by Governor w. f. Frear.
We most heartily endorse the course
pursued in Congress by our delegate,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-04-14

in said Convention as a unit, and that
said delegates are hereby instructed
accordingly.
On motion the nominations were
closed and the secretary was instruct
ed to cast the ballot The same pro-
cedure followed with all the other nom
nations. For alternates r. w. Breck-
ons was nominated by w. F. Drake and
]. M. oDwsett by A. F. Knudsen and
unanimously chosen.
The next business was the nomina-
ton of four more delegates, to be seat
ed if allowed by the National conven-
ton. w. o. Smith rose and placed
John Lanes name in nomination, say
ing that he was known to all and
praising his work in the legislature.
He stated that if seated in the con-
vention he believed that Lane would
do Hawaii honor. Senator e. A. Knud-
sen was nominated by G. H. Fairchild,
w. G. Walker, by E. e. Richards, ana
w. T. Robinson, by Senator S. e. Kala-
ma. The nominations were closed and
the secretary cast the ballot.
Then came the surprise. Nomina-
lions for alternates were called for and
A. l.. c. Atkinson was first on his feet.
He nominated F. NJ Hatch, thus break
ing into the slate which had been
made up. Judge Kaulukou nominated
G. B. Mcclellan, Bernard Kelekolio
named A. D. Castro, C. VOTERS Of Ha-
wall named Charles Weatherbee and
H. p Baldwin ended with the name OF
Joaquin Carol a. This made five can
didates and as soon as the last name
was sprung, Castro announced his
withdrawal, while a Portuguese dele
gate enthusiastically seconded his ac-
! ton, showing that bad blood existed
somewhere The secretary then was

WATER SUPPLY FOR MANILA
System Completed at an Outlay OF
$2,OOO,OOO.


$2,000,0O0.
Manila, Nov. 13.-Manila's new wa,
ter system, constructed during a
period of three years at an outlay OF
$2,000,000, is complete. The water
was let loose at the source of supply
in the Mariquina valley and sent
coursing on it's twenty-mile journey
to the city. At the invitation of the
municipal authorities Governor Gen.
eral Smith turned the wheels which
operate the dam gates and for the
first time the mains in the city's
streets were filled from the new sup
ply.
In it's twenty-mile journey from the
higher attitudes the water is carried
part of the distance through a steel
pipe line and the remainder of the
way in concrete conduit. Owing to
the difficulties of construction the
conduit in some places crosses the
streams on high bridges and in other
localities tunnels beneath mountain
ridges for considerable distance.
The assurance of a supply Of pure
water for Manila is regarded as one
of the greatest improvements made
by the Americans during their occu-
pancy of the Philippine islands.

David A. Stein of the wholesale cloth.
Ing firm Of Ederheimer, Stein & Co.
The arrested men In the alleged
blackmailing plot were Charles Ger

Rankin. Their plan, according to Ma
rconey's story to the police. was to
gather information" about young
Stein and then to demand $4,000 of
the young mans father on pain of
having scandalous stories spread. It
is said that loud voiced quarrel
among the three men on the street,
each accusing the other of attempting
to cheat, brought about a revelation
of the conspiracy. .c
Young STEMS suicide came as an
unexpected and tragic sequel to the
arrests. He is said to have been pro-

extort money from his father. He
left letters to his parents and to the
hotel manager on his dresser and an
other he mailed to an undertaken.
When the latter read it he telephoned

GERMS IN Her SYSTEM
Every Woman Should Read This.

The number of diseases peculiar
! to women is such that we believe
this space could hardly contain a
mere mention of their names, and
1t is fact that most of these dis
eases of are of a catarrhal nature.
A woman cannot be we'll if there
| is a trace of catarrhal germs in her
system.
Some women think there is no
help for them. We positively declare
this to be a mistaken idea. We
are so sure of this that we offer to
supply medicine absolutely free of
all cost in every instance where it
fails to give entire satisfaction and
does not substantiate our claims.
With this understanding, no woman
should hesitate to believe our hon.
esty of purpose, or hesitate to put
our claims to a test.
There is only one way to cure
catarrh. That way is through the
blood. You may use all the snuffs,
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more than temper
airy relief at best. Catarrh is caused
by germ. That germ is carried
by the blood to the innermost
part of the system until the mucous
membrane is broken, irritation and
Inflammation produced, and flow
of mucous results, and you can
probably realize how silly it is to
attempt to cure such an ailment
unless you take a medicine that
follows the same course as the germ
or parasite.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of
an eminent physician who for thirty
years made his speciality catarrh,
and with this medicine he averaged
90 per cent of cures where it was
employed. No other remedy is so
properly designed for the ailment
of woman. It will purify and
enrich the blood, stop mucous dis
charge, destroy ali germ matter,
remove all impurities from the sys-
TEN, soothe, heal and strengthen
the mucous tissues, and bring about
a good feeling of health and
strength.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
tone on our guarantee. If you are
not benefited, or for any reason
not satisfied, simply tell US and we
will hand back your money. Rexall
Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, SOC
and $1.O0. Bankers Drug Store.

klLEY TO THE RESCUE.

E. G.. Kiley, in the Grand Rapids
Herald-Review, tries to convict
the Pioneer of several kinds of
crime and tells his readers that the
Pioneer is without standing, etc.,
etc., simply because we dared to
mention the name of the Hon. Dan.
Gum of Grand Rapids.
Well, we are glad to learn that the
Herald-Review man is again in the
land of the living, and that his
strong right arm is once more at the
helm of the Herald.Review.
Go it, brother; you are welcome
to any comfort you can derive from
throwing hot-shot at this grea,
family necessity; anyway, it is rather
interesting to note how exceedingly
thick" you and the Hon: Dan have
become of late years. 1t used to be
different.

PIONEER SCORED "SCOOP."

The Daily Pioneer "scooped'
every evening daily paper published
in Minnesota in giving the full &C.
count, of the Wisconsin, Minnesota
football game in the last Saturday
evenings issue.
The Pioneer gave the lineup of
the two teams, the officials, and
every move from the blow of the
referees whistle until the close of
the game.
The twin city dailies did not give
the full account of the game until
after supper" and then only in
their extra sporting editions.
The Duluth Evening Herald gave
the "short-form" account of the
game, emitting the lineup and sew
eral other details, a brief account
compared with the Pioneer.
The Crookston Times and Crooks
ton Journal made no attempt to
cover the entire game; and the
Daily Pioneer alone gave its readers
the full account. What is more, we
got our paper away on the NJ. & L.
passenger train to our north. country
readers so that they had the account
of the game the same evening.

CHINESE EMPEROR
IS SERIOUSLY ILL
Refuses to Accept Western Med.
iCaI Attention.

Peking, Nov 13.-It is the consen.
sus of opinion in Picking that the en-.
peror of China is very sick and he is
reported as still sinking. He will not
accept Western medical attendance.
The condition of the emperor is so
serious that the various legations here
are sending cabled reports thereon
to their respective governments.
The emperor has been suffering for
ten years past from chronic nephritis,
a condition now complicated with
diabetes and sciatica. It is admitted
that his brain is affected.
The legations stand ready to lend
their physicians to attend his majesty,
but In August of this year the dow.
ager empress declined offers to this
end made by the British and German
legations and consequently no further
proffers have been made.
