the boys to visit Cheyenne. The

of course, by far the major portion.
Mr. Low not only hustled round among
the big ranehers and raised subscrip

worked untiringly to see that the trip
should be a success.

VS.. ALAMEDA

The sailors from the Alameda will
have another try at the Honolulu c. @
eleven this afternoon and they an
nounce that they are going to do a
whole lot better than they did last
time they played at Makiki park. At
ter that game in which the local team
slogged them all over the field, they
got together and promised to practice
assiduously at every chance.
They could not get very much chance
to practice on board but when they did,
they certainly took it. A half seasick
passenger was edited one morning
when staggering down to breakfast to
find one of the stewards and the purs-
er's assistant having a great game with
one of the tables for pitch. The bat
was a tray and the ball ripe hard
boiled egg. When the egg flew out
of one of the port holes it was loudly
declared boundary hit and the stew
ard took three runs and the game.
There have been rumors of strange
talk on the part of the sailors. The
lookout is said to have announced that
he saw something to leg on that looked
like an NJ. c. c. but he eouldn t quite
tell, and a pompous old passenger who
was playing shuttle board was petrified
when an excited individual in uniform
rushed up and yelled to him to look
out or "He'd be out leg before
wicket
All this goes to show that the sailors
are very anxious to win the game and
have been going at it in the proper
spirit. The game will begin at Ills
sharp on the Makiki park grounds and
there will De the usual seats in the
shade of the trees for spectators.
The Alameda lineup will be VIM.

CALL ON SANTA
CLARAS' ARRIVAL

The San Francisco Call of September
2 has this to say about the arrival
of the Santa Clara team:
'sThe speedy little Santa Clara col
lege baseball team arrived from Homo
lulu yesterday on the Alameda after
a victorious campaign in the Hawaiian
islands. The boys all had great trip
and made an enviab1e reputation for
themselves. They met every big nine
in the islands and emerged victorious
in most of their games. Their fast
work met with the approval of the ma
tive and American fans and they were
invited to return next year, when an
other schedule of games will be arrang-
ed in their honor.
"Hawaiian islanders are baseball mad.
When Mike Fisher and his stars in.
vaded the land of the hula last winter
they sowed the seed and it seems to
have taken root to the extent that ev-
ervbodv is for baseball first, last and
all the time.
s<The Santa Clara boys not only met
the teams of natives and Americans on
the islands. but they went against the
Japanese nine that come all the way
from Toxic for experience. These Jap
anese played a snappy game.
s'The Santa Clara team is made up as
follows: R. P. Broderiek, G. w. Byrnes,
C. NJ. Freine. J. K Jarratt, G. j. Ken
nedy. C. P. Knburn, J. L. Latin, H. A.
Mckenzie, D. j. Peters, v. G. saIberg,

upset by that, however, and he mad,
a side throw. Then al the experts
shook their heads and said that hi
/ could never make it. But they didn .
know about the times that he had done
the same thing on the mountains il
Hawaii, where the wild bull he wa.
after would be charging along the sid'
of a hill with him behind and above
it. He took one turn round the horn
and allowed the strain to come slowly
as one Stacks rope round Delaying
pin aboard ship, then, when he had
the steer right, he took another turn
made fast and the steer was on the
ground. Then the twenty thousand
spectators went up in the air and, as
Purdy said, "I could not hear myself
tie the steer up. =
The Wyoming people tried to get
them to go on first the opening day,
but Archie and Ikua had eonsulta-
tion and they asked Jack Low to go
in first, which he did. They wanted
to get the other ropers sized up, and
when they rode out on Friday, the
second day, they knew pretty well
what they were up against.
Jack Low made very pretty throw
and would surely have made second or
third place had it rot been for his
physical condition. The high altitude
affected his breathing, and when he
left his horse to run and tie the steer
he could only walk and was forced tn
stop twice while tying, to get his
breath again.
They arrived in Cheyenne four days
before the contests opened and were
met aft the train by Charlie Irwin, the
manager of the contests in the arena.
Mr.. Irwin told them of two good
horses that he had for them, but these
never materialized, so they waited
round for four days without a chance
to take a little practise riding and
find their seats well before the con
test: after travelling such long dis
lance without as much as seeing
horse
The other contestants were very
courteous to them and they received
offers on all sides TO take their choice
of horses, bat they were satisfied with
those provided save that Archie Kaaua
took friend s horse the first time he
rode. as he found that his was all to
the bad.
Both Archie and Ike made phenom-
email throws on the last day during the
wild horse race. At different times
two horses got away and were running
amuck when, in the first case, Archie
and. in the second ease, Ike threw
quickly and stopped the bronchps be
fore they could reach the crowd and
do any damage.
Ike IS throw was particularly clever,
as there was a horse between him and
the runaway, but he threw high a:rd
spurred past the intervening animal
lust in time to drop the festive
in his tracks.
The day following the final contests
was Sunday, and the boys went out to
a nearby ranch to spend the day and
night with friend they had made
during their stay there. Early Mon
dav morning a telephone message came
TO saw that Charlie Irwin would back
Hugh Clark. the second man in the
finals. to the extent of $500 against
either or both the Hawaiians and that
the latter might take half the gate
receipts.
They hustled into town to accept the
challenge. but could find neither Of
their men. So they let the matter drop.
Eben Low is very emphatic in his

Ikua Purdy, champion steer roper O.
the world; Archie Kaaua, who tool
third place at Cheyenne, and Jack Low
who was sixth, arrived in Honolulu
aboard the Alameda yesterday.
The boys looked very well and happy
and some of his friends were surprised
to see that Purdy had shaved off his
mustache. When asked why he re
piled, "You see the girls were so crazy
after souvenirs that / had nothing left
to give them. They took our leis, oul
belts, our chaps, our spurs and every
thing removable that they could find
about us. So when more of them clam
ored for souvenirs / took off my mus
taehe and gave them each one hair and,
say, there was just enough to go
round -
There is no doubt about it, our boys
made one grand big hit in the prairie
city of Cheyenne. They not only made
many personal friends but the crowd
took to them as soon as they appeared
on horseback and, when they saw their
method of roping with a loose rope,
they simply went crazy in their admira-
ton of what to them is marvellous
feat
The difference in the Hawaiian and
prairie methods of roping IS this. The
cowboys of the plains always rope with
one end of the lariats made fast to
their saddle horns. After they have
thrown the moose and caught the steer
all they. have to do is set their pony
which tautens the rope and the steer
falls. With the Hawaiian method it
is different Roping in this country
must be done in some very difficult
places where there are precipiees and
sudden holes in the ground that would
mean death to the roper if he were
caught in bad position with steer
struggling at the end of the rope. For
this reason a Hawaiian always casts
his loop with the other end free, so
that, should it be necessary, he can
always let go of his rope and save
himself and pony.
1t is a very difficult matter to make
the rope fast to the horn after the
throw has been made, but our boys
have this down to fine point and they
can fasten the rope to the horn after
a throw so quickly that you can t tell
that they have done it.
1t was this EXPERIENCES in making fast
after the throw that brought forth ad-
miring cheers from the crowd and caus-
ed appreeiative comments from. some
of the greatest fat country riders in
the world
Had it not been for Purdv's skill
in this direction he would never have
thrown his first steer. He started after
the animal and found to his horror,
Just before he threw, that his pony
would not guide well or the neck and
so could not be made to follow the
steer as he should.

own range and they felt very much at
home.
While the other marksmen were
wondering what windage to allow and
how to figure out the changing light,
they sat down, tucked their rifles into
their chins and began to slaughter the
targets. From being way down the
list, this long-range shooting brought
them up and they actually finished in
twenty-sixth place, after apparently
being on the track with the tailenders
1t was great exhibition of shooting
and brought forth congratulations
from all sides.
Barry Saves Life.
Tt was on their return trip that Ser
geant Barry brought into good use his
Hospital Corps. They were on the
yer and Rio Grande and had just pass
ed Green River, a small station about
Us miles west of Grand Junction. The
train stopped and people came running
back from the first section ahead OF
them ASKING IOr 0OctoT
AS no doctor could be found, Ser
geant Barry ran ahead to see what he
could do. He found, where there had
been an engine, set of trucks stand
ing on the track, with what was left
of the boiler and cab a hundred yards
away. The boiler had exploded and !
the engineer lay twenty-six feet from
the track in a badly damaged @ond;- |
tion.
The fireman had been about to take |
up a shovel of coal at the time of |
the explosion, so that his back was
turned to the boiler. He was badly |
burned down the back, but his clothes |
protected him to a great extent, and |
he was thrown out on the left side |
of the engine and escaped any serious |
injury.
With the engineer, however, it was
different. He was seated with one
hand on the brake control and the
other on the reverse lever at the time |
of the explosion, and his left arm was
friphtfully burned up to the shoulder. |
His head had several nasty gashes, and !
one cut was so deep that If affected |
the mans brain and he was delirlous |
when Barry arrived. /
Barry had nothing in the way OF |
frst-aid appliances with him, but he
hurriedly sent for olive oil and flour |
from the dining-ear and dressed the |
man IS hurts carefully with what ban |
dages he could obtain. Then arrived |
some man with hypodermic syringe, |
who claimed to be a doctor and in /
sisted on using his ''gun" on the I'M
fortunate patient This had no effect,
however. so Barry took charge and |
saw that the engineer was properly |
cared for.
After time an engine and caboose |
arrived from Green River and the in |
iured men were made as comfortable |
as possible. Barry turned his patients /
over to the division surgeon on the /
eaboose and made sprint for the /
train, which he just managed to reach /
after shouting for them TO stop, as the |
train was starting.
The officials of the road insisted on
being told Barry's name and address,
and il is probable that some suitable |
reward will be sent to him, as he most
saved the life of the en-
yineer and prevented the fireman from
being crippled for life.

He had, however, used up al the

1t takes a hundred men to make

1t takes hundred men to make
an encampment, but one woman
can make a home. I not only
admire woman as the most beauti-
full creature that was ever created,
but | reverence her as the most
redeeming glory of humanity, the
sanctuary of all the virtues, the
pledge of all perfect qualities of
heart and head. 1t is not Just nor
right to lay the sins of men at the
feet of woman, 1t is because
women are so much better than
men that their faults are considered
greater. A mans desire is the
foundation of his love, but a wo-
mans desire is born of her love.
The one thing in this world that is
constant, the one peak that arises
above all clouds, the one window
in which the light forever burns,
the one star that darkness cannot
quench, is woman's love. 1t rises
to the greatest height. it sinks to
the lowest depths, it forgives the
most injuries. 1t is perennial of
life and grows in every climate.
Neither GOODNESS nor neglect,
harshness nor cruelty, can extin-
guish it. A woman's love is the
perfume of the heart. This il the
real love that subdues the earth;
the love that has wrought all
miracles of art; IT, gives US music
all the way from the cradle song
to the grand closing symphony
that bears the soul away on wings
Of fire. A love that is greater than
power, sweeter than life and
stronger than death.-Robert G.

CARS REFUGEES.

Commissioner Foote, of Chicago,
has decided to send the Russian
refugee, Christian Rudowitz, back
to the Gar of Russia and a United
States marshal will be appointed
to take him back to the murderous
dictator unless the president inter
venes.
The Chicago Public well says:
I'VE behold in these Russian
extradition cases what seems like
a systematic effort to bring our
government into cooperation with
the oligarchy of Russia in a bloody
crusade against patriotic Russians.
We are asked to give up to the
merciless and lawless government
of the Gar men whose offenses are
that they have defied it's depotic
authority and resisted its licensed
assassins. What matters it that
this is demanded of us under pre-
tense of extradition for crime? 1t
is shame upon us that we have
extradition treaty at all with the
lawless Russian oligarchy. If our
criminals escape to Russia, let
them go. What punishment could
we intlict that would be worse thsn
exile to country 80 despotically
ruled? If the Russian oligarchy
seek their escaped criminals here,
let us tell them that we surrender
no man-not even criminal-to
the vengeance of barbarians. This
ought to be our attitude, even if
no political considerations were
involved 1t is all the more I'M
portant, if n treaty for criminal
extradition is abused for the pur-
pose of making Russian patriotism
an international crime and drag
ging Russian patriots from the
shores of America to the scaifolds

worlds patriots mobile or peasant)
our country should he inviolable.

remain. The Russian patriot whom
the Car cannot seize with his
own authority, he should not be
allowed to seize with the aid of
our authority. Where he cannot
pursue boldly with swords and
guns he must not pursue PREACHER
ously under cover of nm extradi-
ton treaty and with the co-opcra-
ton Of our federal officials"

THE SHORT SESSION.


message was read and referred to
committee The message is very
lengthy, as have been all his pre-
vious messages, and but few will
take time to read it in full.
The Denver Times summarizes
the message as follows:
The federal government alone,
the president declares anew, should
exercise complete and paramount
control Of all agencies of interstate
commerce.
The Sherman antitrust law is
denounced as worse than folly, its
enforcement working almost as
much hardship as good, and it is
urged that there be substituted for
it a law to permit combinations
that are in the interest of the pub
lie, subject to full control and
supervisor by the federal govern
ment, with express provision for
publicity as to all their affairs and
for executive. and not judicial,
checks upon them.
The railways should be, it is
urged, under the exclusive juris-
dietion of the interstate commerce
commission, which should have
summary power to fix rates. as
well as to prevent watering of
stock. The commission should be
given power to authorize combina-
tons of railway and traffic agree
ments. Rates must be just to
shippers and shareholders alike
and never 10 low as to necessitate
reduction Of wages.
Telegraph and telephone CON-
panies should be brought within
The jurisdiction of the interstate
commerce commission.
To abandon the effort for ma.
tional control of corporations, the
message asserts, means to abandon
the effort for all adequate control;
for state legislation cannot achieve
the purpose sought for.
Short. term franchises for cor
porations are advoca:ed; including
the water power corporations.
A progressiN- ~~stance tax on
large fortunes i. ,aeried.
Emphatic declarati, y, in favor
Of sweeping emplo. rs liability
law and an old-age pension system
are made. There should be no
distinction in the empN ysrs' LA
bility law between hazardous and
nonhaIardous occupations and the
doctrines Of contributory negli-
gence and assumption of risk
should b. scarcely recognized.
Special provision should be made
for payment of liberal sums to
dependents of those whose lives
are sacrificed in enforcing the laws
of the land.
The principle of the eight hour
day should be rapidly extended.
1t is earnestly urged that the
salaries of all judges be doubled
and In connection with this recon.
mendation and comments on the
Judiciary the president protests
against long delays in the admin
istrntion Of justice and against the
over-rsgard for technicalities
which, in some noted recent cases,
has resulted in striking denial
OF justice and fragrant wrong to the
body polite"
Legislation requested by Com
pers and his associates is bitterly
denounced by the president, par
ticularly the demand for trial by
jury in contempt cases.
