Root Takes Same view.

Secretary Root, in a letter which was
read at the meeting. says:
81 do not consider that the granting Of
suffrage to women, would, under the eN-
listing conditions, be any Improvement in
our system of government. On the con-
trary, / think 1t would rather reduce than
increase the electoral efficiency of our
people. / am inclined to Think, however,
that If the women of the United States, or
any very large majority of them, should
really come to want the right of suffrage
for themselves, they would ultimately get
il. For the purpose of exercising the right
of suffrage il they should ever get 1t, and
for the purpose of determining intellt-
gently whether they really want 1t, the
women of the country generally ought to
have and to seize the opportunity for a
greater degree of education in questions
of government and in the practical art
of government than they had had up to
this time"

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The attitude OF
President Roosevelt and Secle,a y Of State
Eilhu Root on the subject OF woman SUI
frage was disclosed today at a meeting
under the auspices Of the National League
for the Civic Education Of Women.
Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor OF the
outlook, in the course of an address in
opposition to granting the right to vote to
women read the following letter from Presi-
dent Roosevelt. which he said he read with
the presidents permission, although 1t was
not w.itten FOR publication nor for this
OCCASION"
Personally, l believe in woman's suf-
frage," said Mr.. Roosevelt at the outset Of
the letter, which is dated November 10,
1913, but / am not an enthusiastic advo-
cate OF 1t because 1 do not regard it as a
very important matter. l am unable to
see that there has been any special i'm
provement in the position of women in those
states in the west that have adopted woman
suffrages as compared with those states
adjoining them that have not adopted 1t,
I do not think that giving the women suf-
rage will produce any marked improve
ment in the condition of women.

NATIONAL GUARD TO HAVE
MOST EFFECTIVE WEAPONS

. !
New arms for the. National Guard
Will be issued to the men within a
very short time, among the munitions
of war arriving by the Siberia on Mon
day being a thousand new model
Springfield rifles. many thousand
rounds of ammunition of the recently
adopted pattern and large shipment
of army overcoats. caps and other
supplies. These are now being taken
to the armory and the work OF casing
up the Krag-Jorgensen rifles. now in
use. and shipping them back to the
War Department, in exchange for the
new arms, will start at once. AS a
result OF the arrival OF the new rifles
and ammunition, the guardsmen will
be put to work on the range, familiar
izing themselves with the weapon and
getting in practice for the matches in
which a rifle team to represent Ha-
wall at the national match this sum-
mer will be chosen. There was some
doubt among those in authority as to
whether Hawaii would be able to send
a rifle team this year, but there is
no doubt now.
The new Springfield is regarded by
the experts as the very finest military
rifle in the world. The new cartridge,
which has been adopted to be used in
it. is also said to have practically revo-
lutionized work at the targets, the
scores made with them at the last in
ternational match for the Seagirt
trophy having been phenomenal. At
that match, in which teams represent
ing America, Canada, Australia and
Great Britain took part, every one of
the British teams made scores higher
than the highest scores ever before
made, but the American teams score
overtopped them all by large mar
gin, making in fact another class alto
gether. And this, as is generally
agreed. was due to the superiority of
the ammunition used, particularly the
bullet. The bullet in
the cartridge formerly used was blunt;
the new one runs to sharp point, and
the difference is that the sharp bullet |
has a velocity in excess of the blunt |

In these words Manager c. g. Bal.

sit & Land Company disposed of the
rumor that as result of the deter
minatioh of the Board of Supervisor:
to. pave that street with blocks from
Fort to -Nuuanu the existing track
there would be taken up. In making
the denial Mr.. Ballentyne was most
positive. Il guess they would like US
to get off that street, but we do not
intend to go,'i he added in conclusion
The street car manager expressed
himself as not at all in sympathy with
the plan of putting down wooden block
pavement at the present time. how
ever. He considers that the Super
visors are showing too much haste in
adopting the plan and thinks that the
matter has not received the considera-
ton it should before twelve thousand
dollars is put into it, as authorized.
What he advocates is that the county
sends some competent man on tour
of the cities of the Southern States
where climatic conditions are some
there to study the street work and see
what others are doing. Their to report
back to the Supervisors and on the
basis of his report have a comprehen-
sive scheme prepared and adopted for
the laying of permanent streets
throughout the entire business section
of the city. To pay for this he pro-
poses to floating of county bonds.
Honolulu has no business to spend
one cent for experiments" he said.
"An the experimenting has been done
and we should profit by it."
The interest being taken in the ques-
ton of permanent street pavements by
the Rapid Transit company is because
by the terms of their charter the COM
pany is obliged to pave their right of
way with the same material and at the
same time as the pavement decided on
is laid by the county. In the event
of any particular pavement proving
unsatisfactory and having to De re-
placed. the expense would have to be
shared to quite large extent by the
company without their having any
thing to say about either the original
pavement or the one chosen to re-
place it.
The question of paving Queen street
with nor'west fir blocks was settled at
the last meeting of the Supervisors
and cabled orders for apparatus for
concrete mixing and bitumen laying
have been sent to the Coast The
order for the blocks has not yet been
sent and tenders for the supplying of
these maybe called for In the mean
while the macadam of the street is

SEASON STARTS
ON MAY FIRST

The Honolulu Baseball League had
its annual meeting at the Office of
Frank E Thompson at noon yesterday,
present being:
F. E. Thompson, F. E. Steere, John
Wise, q. Lemon, P. Gleason, and E.
Fernandez.
Before the meeting was called to
order the proposed triangular series
between Keio University, Santa Clara
College and a local nine, was discussed.
Mikami is representing the japanese
in the matter and En- Sue Kong is
looking after the interest of the Chi
nese ball players.
1t is estimated that the expenses OF
the, series will be in the neighborbood
of $4,000, of which between $500 and
$4,000 will be used for transportation
expenses.
Santa Clara College want to come to
Hawaii during their summer vacation
which extends from June to September.
The meeting started with the read
ing of the minutes Of the past year.
The following officers were elected
to serve during the coming year:
D. P. R. Isenberg, president: Frank
E. Thompson, secretary and treasurer.
These gentlemen were the retiring Of
ficers but have done their work so well
that it was decided to treat them to
another term of office.
F. E. Steere suggested that the
league and the trustees handle the
financial end of the triangular series.
F. E. Thompson suggested that the
division of profits after the payment
of all expenses be left to an arbitra-
ton committee to be appointed by the
financiers of the series.
Messrs. Steere, Lemon, Gleason, Wise
and Fernandez were appointed a com
mittee to draft plans for the series and
to report to the league as soon as pos
sible, the league to then present the
plans to the trustees for their consid-
Grafton.
1t was decided that the season OF the
league shall consist of two series OF
nine saturdays each, the first games to
be played on May l. June IL and July
4 will be left open so as to give other
sports a chance or to allow of the
league putting on any special attrac-
lions which may present themselves.
1t was mentioned that there are like
" to be horse races on June IL, and
that on July 4 a great many of the
league players viii be on Hawaii or
Maui for the holiday.
Messrs. Steere, Gleason and Wise
were appointed a committee to arrange
the schedule of games.
Punahou will practise at the ball
park on Wednesday and Tuesday,
and Friday will be drawn for
by the other teams. Monday will so
in turn to each of the teams.

The Hawaiian regiment is one of the
first of the National Guard regiments
of the Union to be armed with the new
Springfield. In December last Adju-
tant Jones received private advices
that the War Department would soon
be ready to Issue the new. rifle in ex-
change for the Krags and he imme-
diately asked Acting Governor Mott
Smith to make requisition for enough
to arm the Hawaiian regiment. This
requisition went forward crossing an
official notification from the War De-
partment that the new rifles were
ready and that Hawaii could have not
more than one hundred at once. The
idea in sending the hundred was to
enable the best shots to get in trim
for the national rifle match.
The arrival of Acting Governor
Mott-Smith's request for thousand
rifles, however. brought happy results,
the notice that one hundred was the
limit being speedily followed by an
other notification that all REQUIRED
would soon be on the way These are
the rifles that arrived on Monday.
Just as soon as the new arms can
be issued the work at the butts will
commence. Quite recently a new set
of bars and medals for marksmen and
experts arrived and these will be shot
for in the regimental shoots. There is
going to be keen rivalry among the
rifiemen this year, a large number
having made up their minds to make
the team for the mainland If there be
anything in practice and persistence. !
The men feel, too, that the new arm
will help them greatly, 1t being such |
that UP to five hundred yards no ele- |
walton of the sights is necessary, while !
the velocity of the bullet is such that |
no such elaborate calculations for |
wind allowance have to be made as
was the case formerly. The only cause
for worrying over the new gun and /
carriage is whether the sand backing
Of the targets is thick enough to stop I
the bullets and this Colonel Johnson is
attending to.
