.AUX|L|AR|Es OFF TO
FORM WIRELESS CHAIN

Going before the battleships to the
south in order that the fleet might be
able at all times TO keep in telegraphlc
touch with Washington, the naval aux
iliaries Panther and Yankton sailed
yesterday for Page Page. following up
the collier Ajax in order to coal quick
ly at the Samoan port and swing off
toward Fiji, toward which point the
Glacier will sail today. Thus a chain
for wireless messages will be estab-
lished.
There is cable station at Fiji, and
there the Glacier will lie ready to file
any official dispatches from the fleet
after the battleships get out of touch
with Honolulu, the Panther relaying on
the Connecticut ethergrams to the Gla-
cier. At no time between Honolulu and
sydney will the Atlantic fleet be more
than a few hours away from President
Roosevelt and the Secretary of the
Navy.
The Panther is sailing via Iahalna.
making a detour to that point to carry
mail for the battleships of the third d.
vision coaling there.

DENVER, July 6.-The Hawaiian
delegation got in sunday nlgnv, al
though E. NJ Watson arrived Saturday
evening. The delegation has headquar-
tiers in the Savoy, where they also are
qllartered-six in room.
1.-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.
Z. NJ. Watson will be the Hawaiian
member of the resolution committee,
important because of the fight on the
anti-iniunction plank.
Mr. Watson has prepared plank ex-
tending the land laws to Hawaii which
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma, who is
chjlrman of the platform committee
HAD promised should be inserted in the
original draft of the platform. You
yin probably know by cable whether it
Rent through or not. Watson saw the
bl,lahoma man personally and he re-
erred him to Mr.. Murray, another
member, and agreed whatever Murray
Aid would be approved by him. Muir
ray helped to draft the resolution.
II r. B. Kidd, who held Palmer Woods g
proxy as National committeeman, met
the delegation here and procured seats
and badges for them. Coke, Harvey,
McGonagle, 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 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 personal represen-
tative of the millionaire Californian.
The other members of the newspaper
staff were jealous of Kidd and when
it came to distributing the seats for
the convention, Kidd was left out and
got neither a press seat nor a badge.
He had Palmer Woods 3 proxy with him,
but 9Iidn't know whether or not Woods
woulA give a second one TO some one
else Or not, so kept quiet. Well. fortu-
nate1y for him Palmer hadn't changed
his lmind and SO Kidd is sitting with
the National Committee. Also he is
wearing a gold committeeman 3 badge
and has more convention seats than he
knows what to do with, while the other
Hearst service men turned green with
ehvy when the Honolulu newspaper
man strutted back into press headquar-
tiers.
I Gilbert Waller viii be the next Ma
tional committeeman and he would have
taken part in the later deliberations of
the committee had he been here. Wat
son has his proxy.
The delegation also is telling a joke

United States District Attorney
Breckons yesterday received letter
from Attorney General Bonaparte in
regard to the alleged prizefights which
took place at the Orpheum some weeks
ago, following which Breckons 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
Unsuitable 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.
I A fight, the Attorney General seems
to consider, is 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 z, 1908.
Rev. Edward w. Thwing, Honolulu,
4 Territory of Hawaii.
I Sir: Referring to your letters to the
Z President and myself, relative to the
recent alleged prizefight in Honolulu,
/ beg to say that I have received a
report from the United States Attor-
ney on the subject which is not entire
ly conclusive, for the reason that
neither in his letter nor in your cor
respondence does it appear definitely
whether the incident to which you
reft ,r was actually prizefght-that is
to lsay, whether there was an intention
of the parties engaged to do each other
in1iury-or whether it was a boxing
CONTEST simply. Definite information
oNn this point is necessary to enable
1.-THE department to pass definitely on
i(he subject-matter, and I have, there
tffore, directed Mr.. Breckons to advise
bme more fully on this point. Very
d respectfully,

Attorney General.

held on Memorial Day, and since then,
in Honolulu, has intentional bodily in
jury been done or mott May this
question be decided fairly according to
the facts! Those who are against
oprizefghts' are not opposing boxing
for sport or for points, where there is
no attempt to injure 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:

And so many other comments might
be noted. These have been continually
called "prizefghts" by those who
have seen them, and they are certainly
not simply scientific "sparring bouts
for points. Too often it is the inten-
ton to do the other fellow and knock
him out. This spirit will kill the true
sport, bring in bad element and put
the whole matter on moqey-making
basis.

that no money shall be charged at
their exhibitions. Opposition to prize
