Scott Up|loIds His Ruling by
Citing Leagues Powers
By A. w. Scott Jr.
Chairman Civic league

]" HE confusion in this matter
arose from a misunderstand
ing on the part of some of
the delegates as to the power
and functions Of the Civic league,
etc. The Civic league is q body
composed OF delegates represent
ing every Improvement club in
town. At this meeting there were
Ss Improvement clubs represented
by their delegates.
The league has no independent
power. 1t is merely a council or
a clearing house organized for the
mutual benefit of the several i'm
provement clubs. The matters
brought before the league can
only originate in the clubs them
selves. which are the sovereign
bodies.
DELEGATES UNAUTHORIZED
The delegates are not author
lied TO vote on Independent sub
5ects which may arise at the gen.
eral meeting without special au-
thority being conferred on them
by their clubs.
On this particular matter of the
Endorsement of the graft prosecu-
tion, the delegates who opposed
the vote may nave Deen as
strongly in favor of the motion
as those proposing it. The only
thing was that the delegates had
no power to vote upon that with
out special authority from their
clubs. The matter was referred
to me in a point of order, and as
chairman ruled that the dele
gates could not discuss this sub
ject at a general meeting. There
was absolutely no question raised
as to sides or positions on the
main subject
ALTMAN TOOK NO PART
The statement that School Di-
rector Altman or Boyle led the
argument is absolutely false, as
they were simply invited guests
representing the school depart
ment, and neither of them uttered
one word during the entire even
ing's discussion.
Ny personal opinion IN the mat
ter of the graft prosecution has
been too often publicly expressed
10 need a repetition at this time.
Whoever gave out the report to
the press either misunderstood my
position in the, matter, or else It
was a deliberate attempt to put
me in a false light before the
public

very seriously, as it means much to
both of them. If Reilly makes good
here, he expects to stay and earn a
reputation, while McFadden has enough
of reputation to protect.
The weight question has not yet been

ritory between the proposed new first
precinct and Punahou street extended
to the sea and to the mountain.
The people of the Waialee and Pu-
pukea region ask for the formation of
an election precinct in their region. AZ
present they are part of a precinct
that includes the greater part of Koe-
laupoko. The polling place is at Ha-
uula, and some of the Pupukea people
have to go thirteen miles to vote. While
they do not urge that thirteen is an
unlucky number, they do urge that
thirteen miles is a long way to go to
vote and that as there are upwards
of thirty voters in that region all of
whom have to go eight or nine miles,
it is impossible for all of them to leave
the region on the same day. 1t is sug-
gested that the polling place be located
at Waialee, which, though it is nut
the center of the district is accessi-
BILE, and is perhaps the only place
where a. room for a polling place could
be provided. AS an alternative to
this request the suggestion has beeR
made that the polling place of the
present precinct be changed from Hs-
uuia to Kahuku, which would be near
er the center of the precinct as it is
now constituted
Another petition asks, for a change
of polling place from one house Mt Ka-
alaea, Koolaupoko, to another house.
From Maui Il petition has been re-
ceived asking for the establishment OF
nf 1.n Ia a.
Wailuku and Maalae Bay with a poll
ing place at the Waikapu school house.
These voters now go to Wailuku court
house to vote. but it is a long way
| and few of them have horses and a
voting place nearer is desired.
The voters of UlSumehame and Ole
walu have asked that these two dis
tricts be created new precinct With
polling place at Olowalu. At pres
ent the polling place for these voters
| is mt Lahaina which is six or eight
miles away 1t is stated in the pet1-
ton that many of the voters have ma
means of getting to the polling place
except by the assistance of someone
| else, and that as a matter of fact the
only assistance available is "interest-
ed assistance" so that free and I'M
trammeled vote is impossible.
The people of Malawao and of Kan
pakalua want to be erected into 3
new precinct. AS it is now some OF
them have 10 90 six or seven miles
southwark to vote, and others six or
seven miles northward.
! On all these requests Governor Frear
would be very glad to receive sug-
gestions.

The new Alexander Field on the
Oahu College grounds is rapidly show
ing the results of irrigation. The field
proper is entirely grassed over and the
moving machine has been passed over
it often followed by the roller. When
the college opens for the fall term the
field and the cinder track surrounding
it will be in good shape for use. The
slopes on the Manoa side, which give
the field an amphitheater effect, have
also been planted with grass, and the
roadways above are in readiness for
use. A carriage entrance to the up
per road which winds along past the
presidents house and into the college
grounds below, has been made through
the stone wall on the Manoa road about
opposite Iyer's. The street car sta
ton, opposite Swanzy's, also marks the
entrance for the general public. The
Alexander Field was made possible by
liberal contributions from Mrs. s. T.
Alexander. This field will be used by
the upper classes for baseball and foot
ball, while the old campus is to be
given over to the younger students of
the Preparatory school.

landing some good ones on the body

Trying out with lad that outweigh

showed very good class. There is no
doubt that he is really clever and can
duck and clear with great precision.
He has very awkward lead with his

style of leading. may prove to be a
good opener for his right.
Being the first try-out, Reilly did not
work very hard nor let himself 60 But
he loosened up once or twice from a

a way that would invite a cleverer man
to break his arm, and he leads with his

This is the second annual event of its
klnd and will be brought off once a
year in the future. The Baldwins have

are determined to repeat their success
of last year and come back with the

ers will be aboard the Mikahala when
she leaves Honolulu but it is expected
that there will be more than those who
have already signifed their intention
of going.
The tennis games are played in gen.
tlemen's doubles, eighteen games for
each team. After all the games are
played the number OF games won by
each team are added together and the
aggregate result decides whether the
cup comes to Honolulu again or STAYS
in Maui.
The players to represent Honolulu
have already been selected and some
of the cleverest racket.wielders on the
island will be there to keep the Maui
players on the love level j. p. Cooke

in the tournament.
| The Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
company is the Deus Machinsrum of
the meeting and the Baldwins have
made every arrangement for the enter
| tainment and convenience of visitors.
The Mauna Kea will arrive Mt Nc
Gregor's landing Tuesday afternoon
and they have made arrangements for

The lnter-lsland Steamship company
has made round trip fare of $40 for
this event and tickets will be good for
return on the Mikahala or the Claud-

leave Kahului before sunset but special
arrangements have been made to hold
her over until eleven O'Clock so that
those who wish to take part in or wit

the dance in the evening and yet get
back to Honolulu the following morn
ing, may do so.
After the tennis on Wednesday there
will be a dance in the big barn at Pun
meme and the music will be provided
by ten players specially brought from
Honolulu for this occasion.
Thursday will be given up to polo
when the Oahu and Maui teams will
play for the inter.island championship
The Maui players are in very good
shape to win hard game but the Ho.

and there is very good possibility
that both the tennis and polo cups will
come to Honolulu for the ensuing year.

Come, dousc your lids to Tommy King
And all the GLADYS crew
For they reefed their sail in booming yale
When the weather stays began to fait,
Like tried and true
The waves rolled high tho squalls came down,
The rigging broke apart,

OF sturdy hearts that would not fail
However tight the place.

1T appears that the case against the
Hilo Baseball League is even worse
than represented in the Advertiser
yesterday. The Honolulu Baseball
League did not expect the IIiloites to
bear all the expenses of the trip in
the first place. They merely asked
them to cooperate with them and allow
them all the receipts above necessary
expenses. Whatever the Honolulu
proposition was, it might be expected
of decent sportsmen that they would
say, "Sure, Wen bring the Santa
Claras over here. Great guns, you fell
