SPEAKER CANNON has marked him.
self for relt cation to the ranks in the
next Congress, if Roosevelt, Tsit and
their supporters can bring it about. This
was decided by the president and Secre'
tary Taft, at their recent conferences al
the White House. The Illinois con-
gresham has irritated the White House
frequently by opposition to measures adj
vocated by the president, but he has
gone beyond liberation in his fight al
Chicago, threatening the president
supremacy in the patty. tits intimated
in quarters close to Roosevelt and Taft
that the overthrow of Cannon, if TAFT is
elected, will not be difficult; that large
element of the majority in the House
has needed only leader or substantial
backing to elect another speaker. Here
tofore the White House has taken no
stand against Osnnon's election, bu'
war has now been declared.

CHICAGO, H., July Woe for
the college youth, the negro gambler,
and the ilashy bartender. The tailor
convention today, figuratively speak
ing, tore freak clothes to tatters.
What was left of the drop front. the
fOur-inch trousers cuff. the frilly
pocket flaps, and other innovations
of the season wasn't enough to inter-
est the ragpicker. Indignation of
the tailors over the bizarre garments
rose to high pitch, and they vowed
that even college boys would have to
submit to conservative clothes in the
fall, even If football gatherings came
to look like camp meeting.
In the campaign against cherished
fads John +. Spann sounded the
keynote" in his speech "Your sal
walton lies in stemming the torrent OF
freakish garments" he said to the
assembled cutters. 'Tailors origi-
mated the so-called gingerbread
styles for their college patronage, but
they have got beyond US"
Unusual fabrics were also selected
by the tailors for discard. Conserv'
atism in shades will replace all re
bra" styles.

IWILEI CASES A
DISMAL failure

The ten Japanese women who were
arrested at the Isoi place at Iwilei
some days ago. appeared In the Po-
lice Court this morning, each charg-
ed with keeping disorderly room.
The first case tried. that of a woman
named Yoshi. resulted in her dis
charge. The case of the prosecution
was lamentably weak, not a single
fact of the material allegations be-
ing brought out by evidence, and, on
the whole. the case was failure all
through. Another case was then
tried, but the result was the same,
and finally all the rest of the cases
were nolle prosd. Judge Andrade
stated from the bench that not q
scintilla Of evidence had been produc
ed to show that the place was one OF
ill-fame.
Sheriff Iaukea stated later on that
in view of the fact that the evidence
had been found to be insufficient, he
would now have both men and wom-
en- arrested in the future. as it was
his determination to have the place
closed.

new ROADS TO
Be BEAUTIFUL
Campbell Avenue Now
in Process of Con-
struCti0n

For the first time since the Fleet ar
rived here, the full force of the Road
Department went to work this morn.
ing under the direction of Road Super.
visor Tom Cummins. There are In
the neighborho0d of 400 men in this
department, and the amount of work
that is done during each day amounts
to considerable.
According to Supervisor Cummins.
Campbell Avenue, which leads out
from the end of the short kapiolani
Park road to the forts on Diamond
Head, will be one of the most beau
tiful roadways in the city of Honolulu
when It is completed. Work has been
gong on on this avenue for some time
past, and as 1t Is wide. yet sheltered
thoroughfarc, 1t will undoubtedly be
Il popular road for automobiles. 1t Is
being macadamizcd, and is sloped OH
at the sides. The road does not quite
reach the forts, In fact there Is a
branch road leading to these. but no
work will be done on this until the
hauling of heavy guns and material
has been completed.
Another road which II Is claimed
will be beautiful addition to the
driveways Of Honolulu is at present
beng constructed in Pauoa. Consid,
cradle difficulty has been encountered
In the construction Of this road, but
the worst of this has already been
overcome, and the road is progressing
in good shape now.
The reason that II has been hard
for the Road Supervisor to keep his
full force working during the past
week has been that so many of them
have had friends on board the ships,
and they were inclined to shirk lit
lie. To avoid this, Tom Cummins laid
them off for the time being, especially
the teamsters, but they are all on duty
aud the full force Is at work today.

Charles Townsend, young man
employed In the removal Of the flag
decorations which had been strung
across to streets to welcome the Fleet,

cident. He was sitting on pole about
ten feet above the roof of the building
on the corner of Fort and Hotel streets
occupied by A. b. Arleigh, when his
hand caught live wire. The shock
caused him TO lose his balance and he
fell to the roof.

the men, went up on the roof and car
ried Townsend to a room below, where

Why sHe SHOOK HER rRIENn
shopper Preferred to Be Alone When
Purchasing shoes. i

A woman sat down In the shoe do.
pArtment Of New York store and
babe the clerk hurry. II left q friend
at the lace counter" she said, land
! want to get my shoes fitted before
she gets here"
The clerk apparently appreciated
the circumstances. He worked fast.
and in an incredibly short time the
woman had selected three satisfactory
pairs Of shoes.
Il wonder why she was so anxious
to get through before her friend
came" remarked another customer.
For the same reason that makes
every woman want to shop alone when
buying Shoes" laughed the clerk. she
has rather large foot, and she didn't
want her friend to find out what num-
Der she wears. It Is seldom that the pur.
chasers of shoes shop in pairs. They
may hang together when buying any.
thing else in the store, but when 1t
comes to shoes each woman strikes
out for herself. The only exception is
the woman who has an unusually
small foot. She would take her whole
