NIB. THWINa INQUIRIES.

Mr. Thwing has addressed the fol
lowing communication to the Adver-
tiser discussing the definition of a fight
which the Attorney General gives in
his letter:
Editor Advertiser Under Federal
law what is considered prizefght
and what is simply boxing contest,
are questions of considerable interest
to some Honolulu people just now. by
the letter received yesterday from the
Attorney General it would seem that
in the opinion of the Department of
Justice the whole question depends on
whether fEthere is an intention of the
parties engaged to do each other IN
jury or not In any of the contests
held on Memorial Day. and since then,
in Honolulu, has intentional bodily in
jury been done or not? May this
question be decided fairly according to
the facts. Those who are against
'prizefghts' are not opposing boxing
for sport or for points, where there is
no attempt to iniure or knock out the
opponent. But contests that have been
described. as have some of the follow
ing, would seem certainly contrary to
the law Fights of this kind can never
bring any good to Honolulu, and there
will be continued opposition to them.
They have been reported as:

DENVER, July 6.-The Hawaiian
delegation got in Sunday night, al
though E. NJ. Watson arrived Saturday
evening. The delegation has headquar
tiers in the Savoy. where they also are
quartered-six in a room.
The delegation is attracting good
deal of attention and although the Ter
ritory has no vote for President, the
delegates are receiving more than their
! share of notice from the other dele
gates.
f. NJ. Watson win be the Hawaiian
member of the resolution committee,
important because of the fight on the
anti-inj junction plank.
Mr.. Watson has prepared plank ex-
tending the land laws to Hawaii which
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma. who is
chairman of the platform committee
has promised should be inserted in the
original draft of the platform. You
will probably know by cable whether it
went through or not. Watson saw the
Oklahoma man personally and he re-
ferred him ito Mr. Murray, another
member, and agreed whatever Murray
did would be approved by him. Muir
ray helped to draft the resolution.
r. B. Kidd, who held Palmer Woods s
proxy as National committeeman, met
the delegation here and procured seats
and badges for them. Coke, Harvey,
MeGonagle, Herbert and Shipman, are
here besides Watson. They are taking
back to Honolulu some elegant badges
for the alternates, who were unable to
attend.
There is a little story on Kidd which
I don't believe he would object to
my telling. He is out here for the
Hearst service but is not on the regular
staff, being more a personal represen-
tative of the millionaire Californian

but didn t know whether or not Woods
would give second one to some one
else or not, so kept quiet Well, fortu-
natelv for him Palmer hadn It changed
his mind and so Kidd is sitting with
the National Committee. Also he is
wearing a gold committeeman s badge
and has more convention seats than he
knows what to do with. while the other

favor. He addressed the letter to Hon.

United States District Attorney
Breckons yesterday received letter
from Attorney General Bonaparte in
regard to the alleged prizefghts which
took place at the Orpheum some weeks
ago, following which Breekons was ar
rested on a warrant sworn out by
Theodore Richards.
The Attorney General indicates that
he can understand how a man would
feel at being arrested under such I'M
iustifable circumstances. He also dis
cusses the question of prizefghts, and
it is said draws the conclusion that
contests of skill such as are allowed
in the States are not forbidden by
Federal law in the Territories.
A fight, the Attorney General seems
to consider. is a contest where each
contestant tries to injure the other
and to compel the other to desist
through exhaustion.
Rev E. w. Thwing, who was one Of
those active in seeking to prevent
these particular contests, has received
the following letter on the subject
from Attorney General Bonaparte. 1t
is a reply to letters sent by Thwing
to Bonaparte and to the President:
Washington. D. c., July 7, 1908.
Rev. Edward w. Thwing, Honolulu,
Territory of Hawaii.
Sir: Referring to your letters to the
President and myself, relative to the
recent alleged prizefght in Honolulu,
I beg to say that I have received a
report from the United States Attor-
ney on the subject which is not entire
" conclusive, for the reason that
neither in his letter nor in your cor
does it appear definitely
the incident TO which you
refer was actually prizefght-tha is
to say, whether there was an intention
of the parties engaged to do each other
whether it was boxing
contest simply. Definite information
on this point is necessary to enable
the department to pass definitely on
the subiect-matter, and I have, there
fore. directed Mr.. Breckons to advise
me more fully on this point. Very
respectfully, ID

that no money shall be charged at
