NO MORE KAPU
WAHINE CLUB
0utriggerites Have Arranged
for Women Members at
Waikiki

At a meeting of the directors of the
Outrigger Club yesterday afternoon,
held at the office of R. H. Trent, it was
decided to begin construction immedi-
ately upon the breakwater in the la
COON, the club lanai and the new cause
way direct from Waikiki road to the
property of the club.
Most of this work is to be completed
in time for the regatta and feast on
Saturday, December 5. In the mean
time the ladies' bathhouse will be open
ed, and wives, daughters and feminine
friends of the club members invited to
make use of it.
The following letter has been pre-
pared and is being sent to those of the
gentler sex who have expressed a hope
that the time would come when the club
would be open to women:
"'The Ladies Auxiliary membership
cards are now ready and the ladies
bathhouse and exclusive quarters on the
outrigger grounds in preparation. Ca
noes on the lagoon and for surfing will
be reserved for the ladies, as well as
specially -made light surfboards. The
dues, from now to the end of 1909, will
be So, for which check should be sent
to r. H. Trent, treasurer, upon receipt
of which membership card will be IS
sued to you. The ladies bathhouse will
be under control of the lady board of
directresses, who will provide constant
attendance of a chaperon. There will
also be woman employee on the prem
Uses. Your name has been received as
that of prospective member of the
Ladies' Auxiliary, and the Outrigger
Club will be pleased to enroll you.'
Hereafter two caretakers will be To-
Gated on the grounds of the Outrigger
Club, the central grass house being
placed in order as a habitation for
man and his wife The duties of the
kept in order and the small boy return
the club surfboards to the racks, and
the canoes to their proper places under
the sheds. He will also prepare hot
lunches for those who will buy. On Sat
lrdays and Sundays, or upon any special
occasion, night bathing, boating and
torch fishing from the club will be in
Order
The ladies in charge of the several
feast booths are preparing for the
events on December 5, and the young
people of both sexes are preparing for
he canoe and surfbOard races.
1t is hoped by all the workers that
he floor, at least, of the club will be
in time for a dance after the
evening events in the surf; the very
young members even look forward to a
lance after their events, while their
elders are eating and preparing for the
big races, rowed by moonlight and
'earchlight.

HAWAIIAN DOES
DARING FEET

BILOXI, Miss, Aug. BE w. Kop-
Ike, a native of Honolulu, performed a
most daring feat here this morning.
With his hands and feet tied, and ham
pered by a severe eruption on his left
thigh, this Hawaiian professional, who
has startled the Gulf Coast by his aqua
tic feats, leaped from pier near the
Yacht Club pavilion and swan to Deer
Island, distance of seven eighths of
a mile. His time of starting was
11:47:25 a. M, and the finish took place
at 12:16:05 p. m, this making the total
time consumed less than 90 minutes.
To those who were accompanying him
in a skiff, among which number was
the writer, it seemed that Mr.. Kopke
was swimming with as much ease as an
ordinary man could with his limbs free
AT no time was he within touching dis
lance of the boat.
The swimmer S utter lack of exhaus-
ton was shown both by the nonchalant
way in which he spoke to the specta-
tors between strokes and his appearance
on arriving at Deer Island Upon be-
ing unbound, he quietly stepped into
the boat and rowed it back to the
clubhouse.
When interviewed about his feat, Mr..
Kopke remarked that his greatest and,
in fact only difficulty, was in the
breathing. The trammeled stroke of his
bound hands was scarcely sufficient to
afford him time for inhalation. Even
as it was, however, his vigorous left
side stroke, accompanied by halfscis-
sor kick, propelled him through the wa
ter at an amazing speed.
Mr.. Kopke is well-known in swim
ming circles, for, while in Hawaii and
the Pacific Coast, he has participated
in many of the matches held there, car
rying off the honors on several occa-
sions.

ROYALTY TAKES
ANOTHER DEFEAT

The crowned heads had to take an
other bow to defeat yesterday after
noon when the girls of the Kaiulani and
Royal schools met in a fast and score
some game of basketball. It was a
very fast game and the scoring ability
of the girls on both sides is well shown
by the final total of 40 to Is.
Basket shooting is a very hard thing
to get down to a fine point but our
local basketball players seem to have
reached that point and the ball found
the rim every time. The Kaiulanis
were better at long passing and defense
AID their shooting was only a little
better than the losers although that
little was more than enough to win a
hard fought game for them.
Following was the lineup:
Kaiulani-Mokehaua Daniel, Mulan
Ahu, basket; Lizzie Bolt, Mary Nc
CURE, guard; Mabel Cordes, Julia Aki,
center; Rosie Rowan, captain; Rosie
Bell, manager; Julia Alapai, Sarah Ma
koako, linesmeR.
Royal School-Eva Kauamu, Libbie
basket; Annie Maku, Levana
guard; Lille Watson, Annie
Hohu, center; Libbie Robinson, cap
tain; Annie Hohu, manager; Sarah
Stone, Rose Mahoney, inesmen.

WINNER MAY BE
A DARK HORSE

Sundays play for the Tansan Cup

cles, perhaps. than any event this
year. The reason is that each player
sees chance tucked away somewhere
and not one of them will venture to
forecast a winner.
The general sentiment around town
yesterday was that dark horse Will
very probably win. The reason for
this is that the Oahu Country Club

escape from a serious accident while
riding horseback in Rock Greek park.

president leaned forward in the saddle.
On reaching the top of the bank the
horse reared again. The president

Chicago, Ill, June 1.-According to
the statements Of Chairman Harry 8.
New, Of the Republican National Com
mittee, that body is likely to have
strenuous work ahead of It in the con-

been brought before it for settlement
before the Republican National Conven-
ton is called to order.
Chairman New today said: There
are 22e contested seats, and we esti-
mate that it is going to require la
hours to hear and consider the evidence
in all of these cases. OF course there
is chance that some of the contests
will not be brought before the commit

them will come up for solution. The
national committee plans to begin the
hearing of these contests at IL O'Clock
Friday morning, and it will be com
PEELED to sit every afternoon and even
ing until June 10th; and even then it

GOOD TINES COMING.
Many Cotton Mills Resume Old Schedule
In New England.

Boston, Mass, June 2.-The close of
the first five months of 1908 marks what
is believed to be the beginning of the
end of the depression in New England,
which has hung over the cotton and
other textile manufacturing centres
since the weeks following the financial
disturbances last fall. Today many
mills which have been on short time for
months, started their machinery on full
time schedules. Some have increased
their output during the past week, and
thus far manufacturers, employing
about 35, 900 persons, have given notice
of the abolition of short time schedules.
The welcome change is due largely to
an increased demand for textile goods.
The long period of curtailment has de-
pleted stocks in the hands of jobbers,
and the spring trade has revived busi-
ness with the retailers.
Though they feel that the crisis has
been passed, the manufacturers do not
anticipate a boom until the political
situation has bean cleared. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be more or less
short time during the summer and pos.
sibly wage cuts in some instances.

Court Says II Is Constitutional In The
District Of Columbia.
LIMITS RECOVERY FOR 4 DEATH.
Court OF Appeals Declares Congress Has
Jurisdiction Over Commerce In
The District.

Washington, June 2.-The employ
cry liability act of 1906, which the
United States Supreme Court, in jan
uary last, held repugnant to the con-
stitution of the United States and nom
enforcible in the States, was today
held constitutional, as to the District
of Columbia by the Court of Appeals.
In an opinion by Chief Justice Shep-
ard, the court declares that as the
legislative power of Congress is ple-
nary for the District, its power ex-
tends to the regulation of all COM
merce of whatever natural that may be
carried on within its boundaries.
The decision was rendered on an
appeal of Christiana Hyde, admins
tratrix of Richard Hyde, who sued the
Southern Railway Company to recover
$40, 900 for the death of Hyde, an en-
ploye of the company. The District
Supreme Court sustained a demurrer
by the company, following the United
State Supreme Court decision. The
Appellate Court reversed the action
of the lower court and remands the
case for further proceedings.
The Appellate court held that the
provisions of the act relating to the
District of Columbia were clearly sep
arabic from the provision relating tG
the States, and that it could be fairly
inferred from the language of the act
that Congress intended to exercise
as we'll its plenary power in respect
to the District of Columbia as it
power to regulate commerce under th'
constitution.
The amount of recovery under th'
state is also held to be unlimited ant
unaffected by the District code, whicl
limits recovery for death to $40, 900

MEMORIAL DAY.
A Very Interesting ueeasion-E. Lee
TrInkle The Orator, and He Pleases
a Large Audience.

Large Audience.
Though the weather was threatinine,
and at times during the day inclement,
on yesterday q large crowd gathered
in town to participate in the cele-
bration of Memorial Day by the
Daughters of the Confederacy. Owing
to the weather conditions the exercises,
as laid out in the program, could not be
held at the cemetery. But the court
house was vacated at eleven o'clock by
Judge Henson, and turned over to the
Daughters, and the exercises were
held there.
Captain A. ]. Tynes, Commander of
Brown-Harman Camp of Confederate
Veterans, called the meeting to order
and presided over its deliberations.
The opening prayer was offered by
Rev. S. o. Hall. Then Judge S. c..
Graham, in brief and chaste speech,
introduced E. Lee Trinkle, Esq, of
Wytheville, Va. He made q very elo-
quent address, and it was in excellent
taste. 1t was a tribute to the gallantry
of the Confederate soldiers, living and
dead, and to the noble mothers and
daughters of the South. The court
room was packed almost to suffocation
while Mr.. Trinkle was speaking and not
more than half the crowd could get into
the room.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Trinkle'
address the rules for the bestowal OF
Crosses of Honor were read by T.
Crockett Bowen. A roll of the veter-
ans was then called and more than 6
hundred were found present.
At the conclusion of the roll cal
Crosses of Honor were presented t.
fourteen veterans by q committee oi
the Daughters of the Confederacy.
The benediction was pronounced BY
Rev. G. C. Rector, and a large part o.
the crowd repaired to the High Schoo
hall, where an excellent picnic dime
was served and enjoyed by the veteran
and number of others.
The audience at the court house wa
composed very largely of ladies an
children, and they seemed to enter mos
heartily into the occasion. Upon tn
whole, the celebration reflected grea
credit upon Tazewell Chapter U. D. {
Very good music was furnished by tn
Tazewell Brass Band.
