CASH ABOARD
SHERMAN HAS CUR
RENCY FOR PHILIPPINES-NOT-
ABLE PEOPLE BROUGHT.

Aboard the transport Sherman, when
arrived from San Francisco this morn
ing, is treasure in Philippine currency,
for circulation in those islands,
amounting to three million dollars in
value. The transport also carries
great number of Army wagons and a
large supply of provisions for the army,
consisting NANNY of meats.
She is supposed to sail at O'Clock
this evening for Guam and Manila, Dur
she has LOO tons of coal to take on
board and it will require unusual hust-
ling to bunker her. Three barges are
working in the Naval slip on the star
board side and three gangs are laboring
on the wharf. She came in with a
twenty-degee list to port and expects
the stevedores to trim her before five
o'clock.
Eleven passengers arrived for Homo
lulu in the Sherman. Major William
G. Ham of the Coast Artillery is here
on fertilization work and is accom-
panied by his wife. Mrs. M. s. Dun
ming, the wife of Major Dunning OF
the Twentieth Infantry, Fort Shafter,
arrived. Isaac S. Logan, foreman OF
the engineer corps, was a passenger,
and Mrs. Josephine Cornwell returned.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
w. H. Babbitt also returned. Other
Honolulu passengers were five men OF
the Twentieth Infantry, Fort Shafter,
Sergeant Charles e. Simons, CorpOrals
Guy L. Chesney, Luke E. Nichols and
Henry B. Henson and Recruit Earl K.
CroXton.
Among the through passengers is
Captain Frank S. Randall, who has
been appointed master of the transport
Warren at Manila. Captain Horsman
at present in command of the Warren
will return to San Francisco.
The Thirty-Fifth Coast Artillery and
number of casuals constitute the mill
tary contingent aboard She altogether
carries BAL passengers.

THE POLO
SEASON

Charles Rice, captain of the Kauai
polo team, will leave shortly for the
Horner Rancn on NAVAL. The object
of his visit is to secure a string of
about ten polo ponies which will be
used in the coming games. The horses
will be shipped here and trained at
Moanalua.
The Makawao Polo club will start
polo practice this week preparatory to
it's coming matches with Kauai ana
Oahu. Last years Maui team was
composed of the following players:
Frank and Sam Baldwin, Dave Fleming
and c. c. KrumOhaar.
An interesting thing about the Maui
team is that Fleming and Krumbhaar
have been married since last years
games. 1t is also possible that some
of the Oahu team will follow the lead
set by the Mauites. AS a matter Of
fact John Fleming will soon be a bene
dick, as MS marriage to Miss Adele
Morgan will probably be solemnized IL
the near future.

Gentle Sex
No Account

The will of G. Winan, deceased, was
admitted to probate this morning by
Judge Lindsay, and the widow, Ching
Tam Shee, appointed executrix. The
property is said to be returning a net
income of 1920 per annum.
The widow Of the deceased is one OF
the Chinese small-footed women, and
the exertion of her reaching the court
room in the second floor, with the or
deal of getting through with the court
formalities, so exhausted her that she
tainted and had to be carried down to
her carriage by officers of the court. A
dozen Chinese who were present re-
fused to offer any aid to the PROSTATE
woman, one of them even stating that
she didn't need assistance, but liked
to lie about that way. 1t is under
stood that her feelings over the ad'
ministration Of the estate were the
cause of the peculiar actions.

three months for perjury in connection
with Georges case, will have complet-
