priation for his State of Maine, the
Prince, who never made a speech IN
Congress, went before the committee
and got an appropriation for the i'm
provement of Honolulu harbor. Little

Combating the assertions which have
been so freely made by the Democratic
speakers on the stump that Bryan was
sure to be elected, Lane said that there
was nothing sure about the matter. He
went into considerable detail in regard
to the electoral vote to show the inn
probability of Bryan IS election. Lane
closed with an assurance that the Re
publican candidates, if elected, would
carry out the pledges of the party plat

Harry Won Holt s speech was all in
Hawaiian, as all of his speeches so far
except the one at Waialua have been.
1t was composed principally of badl-
mage. He said the Democrats had held
the Office of treasurer long enough, and
it was about time the Republicans had
a chance at it to see what they could
do. He said that he was as much
child of the country as any of them,
and in this connection he gave his
genealogy after the manner of the
genealogies of the Bible, telling the
Hawaiian names by which his parents
and grand parents had been know. This
part of his speech provoked much
laughter.
John Wise said he had been in the
insurrection of 1895, fighting for his
people. and he was in this campaign
fighting for them. He said that it had
been the proudest boast of kameha-
meha the Great that he had made 1T
safe for old people to sleep by the
roadside, and that if he were elected
Sheriff it should be his endeavor to
make life and property as safe IN this
county as it had been under the Con-
queror.
Referring to his opponents, Jarrett
and Iaukea, he told his auditors to ask
them where they were in 1895, and If
their reply was that they were IN Ha-
wall, then not to vote for them, because
they were not with the insurrectlonlsts
and fighting for their people and their
Queen, and therefore they were not as
good friends of the Hawaiian as he
was.
OF Taukea, he said that he had re-
ceived high honors from the monarchy,
but was one of the first to declare for
annexation.
In conclusion, Wise told the women
present to be sure to keep their hus-
bands sober until after they had voted,
and then they could get drunk.
Brief addresses were made by James
Bicknell, candidate for Auditor; d. Ka-
lauokalani, Jr., candidate for County
Clerk. and Ella A. c. Long, candidate
for Representative, and these brought
the meeting to close.

BIG jim WRITES OR
MAY BE PRESS AGENT

The fine spencerian hand of one Ed.
Griffen, press agent Of the Jetfries
Athletic Club, is seen in the following
supposed to be written by big JEFF him
self:
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26.-The old
time members of the sporting fratern-
ity love to get together and talk OF
the bare-knuekle days and of the
period when two great fighters trained
for weeks, and even months, before en-
gaging in an important battle on the
turf. [ don It begrudge the veterans
the privilege of living over again the
far-away events that have become a
cherished memory with them, but L will
have to take issue with them to the
extent of stating my beller that the
real "palmy days" of the ring are the
present ones.
One has but to stop and consider the
enormous amounts of money that have
been paid out in support of the boxing
game during the past five years to real
ize what a tremendous hold this great
red -blooded sport has obtained upon
the American publie-upon the entire
English-speaking world, for that matter.
A nation that win support pugilism
will never become nation of weak
lings. The enthusiasm and nerve-rack-
ing interest that attends meeting be-
tween two well-trained boxers is ia it,
self an inspiring sight. Teach your
young son to box and he will grow up
to be better man both morally and
physically. Take him and the neigh.
bor' boy out behind the barn and let
them slug away at each other for two
or three rounds every afternoon. Some.
body may come out of the fray with
bloody nose or cut lip, but these lit
tie things soon heal, and you are
strengthening the character Of the lad.

MARINE
Catinat Courtesies.

Commodore Buehard of the French

Admiral Swinburne yesterday morning

the port gangway, the starboard side
being taken up by the wharf, and Com
modore Buchard and his staff stayed
for the better part of an hour. On
their leaving the vessel they were salut-

"JOHANNE DUPREE ADAMS
Apropos our article concerning the
many signs and secret passages in
the bottoms of Topeka the police have
given out an interesting piece of in
cellars under the old hall at the cor
ner of Crane and Madison streets.
This old hall has been refuge for
gamblers. convicts, robbers. and crooks
of every kind for a good many years.
But it is watched with such a series
of secret ways that the police have
never been able to capture anyone in
its passageways.
The hall was once brewery and it
has been a good heavy shadow of one
ever since. It is estimated that more
beer and whisky is "heisted'' in this
hole than In any other place in To-
peka. The basement of the building
is a marvel for secret entries and
exits. The soil is sandy at this place
and easy to bore through. The police
have discovered as many as twenty
different side sub cellars leading out
from the main hole. 1t is not known
what is back of these because it is
possible to drop an enclosure of sand
at the slightest provocation.
The police have several other dug
outs in this locality spotted and some
of these days a little dynamite will
reveal all of the mysteries of the sub
way bottoms.

Paving Same Scale

Employees of the United States
Steel Corporation have received the
same scale of wages this year as in
1907, the most prosperous season in
the corporations history.
While reduced production has
not enabled the corporation to give
steady employment to its men, they
have not suffered a general reduc-
ton in wages owing to the period
of depression. Officials ofthe COM
pany say their employees are today
receiving the highest wages in
years, although the steel corpora
ton has been operating on practi-
cally a SO per cent basis since Nov
ember of last year.
When the big Gary mills are in
full operation the United States
Steel Corporation will employ very
close to 24O, 900 men in normal per-
iods. Wages paid by the corpora
ton last year totaled $160,S25 1922.
