the election.of a United States sena-

campaigning over the state, not for

republicans to send a delegation to
the national convention for Secretary
Taft, but for the sole purpose of
advancing the cause of Coe. I. Craw-

has been working day and night on

has been directed toward that one
idea. and there Is no question but
what the governor is putting an
immense amount Of faith and hope

according to the report Of the state
auditor a tax Of s1O5, 329 was levied
for bond payment and s421,3 le was
levied for deficiencies. The next
year, when the state tar was se40. ss1.
sene sum Of sl3l.827 was levied for
debt payment. The state tax for
1907 contains only sls, 29l for
defctencies. The legislature Of 1905
appropriated Oh, 1873 for deficiencies,
andthstot 1904 appropriated s2s, oes.
This means that the Crawford
regime can not escape behind the

For one who observed things at oil

MOTOR CAR MADE
BAD SUBMARINE
Exciting Experience of a Westerner
On the Island of
Oahu
SURF RIDING IN AUTOMOBILE
The Machine Saved From Quicksands
BY the Friendly
Natives.

The Denver, Col, Motor Field has
the following story from Honolulu:
Surf riding in a motor car was re-
Gently inaugurated at Honolulu by Mel
son S. Riley, a Western enthusiast,
driving a Studebaker car. There was
plenty of excitement for all concern
ed, but it is unlikely that the sport
will ever prove popular among the de-
voices of the motor way. The event
occurred at Hauula beach, which is
considered an impossible barrier to
motorists of Oahu. Riley, with a num-
Der of friends, was touring the beach,
when he noticed that a preceding car
had ventured out toward the water in
preference to hugging the thin strip OF
sand.
without stopping to think that the
other car was smaller and lighter than
his own, Riley turned the Car into the
water and turned on full power. Then
things began to happen. For an in
slant car and sea engaged in desper-
ate encounter for supremacy. The
! flying wheels whirled the water into
spray, and for an instant it seemed as
if the car would triumph. But the sea
had an able ally that came to it's as
sistance with a rush. The car became
stuck in the treacherous sand and
stopped Then it commenced to sink
and went down to the hubs in the
quicksand. The tide also commenced
to come in, ana it seemed as if the ma
chine must be abandoned to its fate.
by this time large crowd Of grin
ming natives had collected. Ropes were
fastened to the car, which by this time
was nearly engulfed. After many
anxious minutes and much hard work,
the machine was snatched from the
roaring jaws of the angry waves. A
careful examination disclosed that the
machine was not damaged, although
it was partly filled with sand. The
car was brought back to Honolulu in
good shape, considering the mishap
through which it passed. Riley is well
known in California and Colorado by
reason of the records he has made with
his car

HAWAII HAS FLEET FEVER.
Sends a Man to San Francisco to Get
Points on Celebration.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.-With
letters to Mayor Tay1or and James D..
Phelan, chairman of the fleet commit
tee, A. p. Taylor, chief of detectives OF
Honolulu, has arrived here to get
pointers for a celebration that will take
place in the Hawaiian Islands during
the weeks stay of the battleships there
on their way around the world.
Taylor says that the patriotic ISL
anders are preparing to make the occa-
sion the gala event Of their history.
Automobile rides, sight seeing trips to
points of interest about the islands,
dinners, receptions, dances and enter
tainments of all sorts have been ar
ranged by a committee of sixty citi-
zens.
Fleet week." said Taylor ION the
islands will be a continuous series OF
holidays and festivities The Hawaii
ans are anxious to give the jackies the
time of their lives"
Taylor will return to Hawaii on the
transport Sheridan on May 6.

The Kalihi A c. will meet tomorrow
night at the regular time.

The Beretania Tennis Clubs invita-
ton tennis tournament starts on We'd
nesday afternoon.
The Hawaii will probably be towed
down to Pearl Harbor some day this
week, and kept there until it is decid-
ed whether there will be any race for
the cup.
Just as soon as the cable arrives
stating that there will be race, the
Hawaii will be sailed up here and Civ
en- a dry-doclling and made ready for
the trip up.
Captain Harris, who was to have
gone as navigator, in the event of Lyle
going as sailing master, will probably
be given the sole command of the
yacht. The crew will also be changed,
as the committee are not anxious to
have any yachtsmen who are likely to
be below the best part of the trip. The
! prospects for a race look very bright
at present, and the odds are in favor
of a race being called within thirty
days.

LIMITATIONS ON sLEUTHs.

WASHINGTON May 1.-The house
spent all of today's session in consid-
ering and passing, paragraph by para
graph, under suspension of the rules,
the sundry civil appropriation bill. AS
the outcome of determined effort to
strike from the bill a restriction pro-
hibiting the employment of secret SER
vice employees in any detective WORK
other than the guarding of the presi-
terfeiters, which effort was vigorously
opposed by members of the appropria-
lions committee, the limitation was
agreed to and the paragraph adopted
in substantially its original form.

Hot, sizzling ball was the sport Sat
urday afternoon at the league grounds
where the Punahous won from the
Kamehamehas, two to one and the
Diamond Heads froze out the st. Louis
boys, three to nothing.
The latter game started with errors,
but Strengthened out remarkably well
and had it been played all through as
it continued after the first inning the
score would have been nothing to
nothing at the end of the ninth and
the game would have been called for
darkness.
The Kams made their one run in
the lucky seventh, the Puns winning
the game the first rattle.
Both games were scorchers and the
crowd was well served.
