Two Autos Burned.

A fire Thursday night destroyed
the garge of d. d. Doty on 4th
avenue and also burned up two
automobiles in the building. Mr..
and Mrs. Doty were not at home
that evening, and very few people
were in the neighborhood, as most
of them were either at the COM
amencement exercises or the revival
meeting, and consequently the fire
was not discovered until too late to
save anything in the building.
One of the machines belonged to
DR.. R. E. Gray, and has been In
litigation for some time, but was
recently returned to him by decis
ion of the Supreme Court. The
machine had never been used very
much. The other auto belonged to
Mr. Doty.
The fire was supposed to have
been Of inccndiary origin, as Mr..
Doty did not take his machine out
that day and no lights we're around
the building. Garden City Herald.

MEADE, PROTECTION BALL GAME.
DOUBLE HEADER.
Protection Victor in Both
Games.

Last Tuesday the League team
from Meade Center crossed bats
with the Protection Sluggers ON the
home grounds. Two games were
played, one at o:3o a. m. and the
other at 2:I5 p. m. Protection
took both games.
The battery for the first games
was Angney and Myers for Protect
ion, but we did not learn who for
Meade. During the Ist inning
Meade made two scores with ease
principally on errors by Wood at
short, wild pitch by Myers and
fumbled ball by Angney, but Meade
did not score again during the en-
tire game. One of the features of
the end inning was double play
from home by Angney to Roberts
at first and S. S. Wood on second.
During this inning Hugh Van Horn,
Projections left fielder, had his
hand badly mashed by pitched
ball, but Hugh showed the proper
mettle by staying in the game to a
finish. In the 3rdinn1ng Protection
started the fireworks right as Perry
Myers raped the horse hide for a
two Dagger and scored on a single
by Blue who stole around the
diamond and scored on three
Dagger by Rowland. Brilliant
work was done during this game by
Tee Woods at short who after his
error in the first inning played a
star game, and the way Perry Myers
purloiond the bases from the Meade
boys seemed shame, just took 'em
whenever he wanted them. Roberts
did fine work at first, and consider
ing the fact that Angney had not
played for three years which coupled
with his sacrifice hit in the 9th gave
him good record also, and little
Rowland and the outfeld were there
all the time. During this game
Frank Baker had his shoulder badly
injured while sliding in home.
A large crowd was in attendance
at the second game. The battery
was Woods and Myers, twirlers,
and Roberts behind the bat. Meade
scored one in the 1st inning. When
Protection clutched the hickory
slabs E. Myers hit for 3 Dagger,
Perry singled, Roberts sacrificed,
and advanced Perry to and, then
Blue took swat at the sphere and
tried to lose the burned thing, max
ing home run and bringing in two
scores. Meade changed pitchers
il the 3rd, and Rowland made fine
play and recovery at second. Van
Horn after a fine run muff1ed
high fly because of his mashed
! finger. Meade made a 3 base hit in
the 4th and In the 5th Woods with
three men on bases and one out let
in only one score. DIR. Myers cut
up a shameful caper in the 9th by
waiting for one just to his taste and
hitting for a home run. Ia this
inning Langly of Ashland arrived
and was put in the box for Meade
for the 9TH. He singled but made
three bases on errors by Protection.
A good crowd was present at both
games. The score for. the first was
2 to s and in the second ] to 8 in
favor of the Sluggers.
The Meade boys were a gilt edge
set of ball players, and while they
made several fine plays we are un-
able to record them because we
were not furnished with their names
but Meade played ball from the
first tn the last in a gentlemanly
and sportsman like manner.-The
Protection Post.

Base Ball News.

On Monday the Meade base ball
team chaperoned by Dick Griggs
came over from Mead in two
automobiles and played game
with Ashland in the afternoon, went
to Protection where they played
two games with the Protection team
Tuesday. They made the forty
mile trip from Meade here in two
hours and twenty minutes. We are
always glad to have the Meade ball
boys come over here. They are
gentlemen on the ball ground and
off of it, and play high class of the
national sport.
The game Monday was much
better than the score would aihdi-
cate. The three home runs-one
by Hays in the 9th which netted
three runs for Meade, the perfor-
nance was repeated by Lostutter in
the last half of the 9th netting three
runs for Ashland and in the last half
of the 9th, with the game tied at II
and IT and one out, Langley hated
the ball over the east fence for a
home run bringing in Lostutter.
The following IS the lineup;

COMMITTEE To CANVASS

Hills, Punahou, Palolo and Waialae In
fact. the chair remarked at the close
of the meeting he had never before
seen such a large crowd turn out for
such an occasion.
Judge Weaver, who was responsible
for the call issued by Mr.. Buffandean
for the meeting, presented the desires
of the Mandates. He suggested a com
rnittee be selected to canvass the pre-
einct and ascertain the sentiment of
the voters as to candidates for nomina-
ton, so that when the nominating took
place every part of the precinct would
be equitably represented. He moved
that committee of five be appointed
to carry out this suggestion and named
Montague Cook, Samuel De Freest, G.
B. Mailie, Mr. Kaanoi and Charles Bon.
Charles Lucas inquired whether this
would be binding on the club and was
informed in the negative. Ed Towse
seconded the motion. Then some Ha
waiians, who had not caught the mean
ing of the motion through lack of in
depreciation, made objections. Jack
Kuamoo thought it was a scheme for
the haoles to capture the ticket. Mr..
Makalemi was rather Navy about it, but
WITH the committee was SuldI2Cu W
seven and his name and that of Charles
Lucas were added, he was satisfied.
Makalemi, however, thought it would be
well to divide up the representation of
the precinct into as equal divisions as
possible. For instance, three from Ma
noa, three from Punahou, three from
Palolo and so on. 1t was about to be
seconded, when it was suddenly dis
covered that such a division would
hardly be equal, as some sections We're
more heavily populated than others. It
was decided to leave this with the com
mittee.
The motion of Judge Weaver prevail
ed and the canvassing committee as
finally constituted was as follows: Mon
tague Cooke, Samuel DeFreest, c. B.
Male, Charles Bon, Mr.. Kaanoi, Mr..
Makalemi and Charles Lucas.
The chair announced that the club s
roll book will be available during the
week at the Territorial Treasurer s Of
fee in the hands of Mr.. Kaanoi.
A collection was finally taken up to
defray the cost of advertising the meet
ing in the Bulletin and Star, the Ad-
vertiser having given notice of the
meeting pro bono publico.
On Friday evening the nominating
meeting will be held at the corner of
Young and Alexander streets in the
Rapid Transit cottage.

PHYSICIAN IN DAILY ATTEND
ANCE

A publication appeared yesterday by
which it was sought to be made to
appear that the INDECENT sick of the
city applying at the City Dispensary
were eeequent1y unable to get the ser
vices of a physician and that the pay
of such physician had been going on
for some months without the services
being rendered.
Tt is stated at the Dispensary that
there is never day that a physician
is not in attendance twice a day.
Either DR.. Humphris or DR.. Collins Is
there every day, or have been during
the absence on leave of DR.. Sinclair,
who before he went on leave was IN
attendance daily.
The hours for physicians are from
10 clock in the morning until all
patients have been treated, and from
half-past one in the afternoon until
all patients have been treated.

Washington. Special: Francis NJ.
Cockrell, now a member of the inter
state commission, Is reputed the most
inveterate whist player in Washington
and the man with more card sense"
han anybody else in the memory of
this generation Of card players.
The commissioner, who, when q few
a ago he was retired from the Sen
ate was n Of the veterans of that
body and widely known as an assist
ant republican, is one OF the most mild
hammered men on earth. He has as
many friends in Missouri as CullOm has
in Illinois. Both of them are known
to everybody lat home" and both are
beloved.
But there Is one occasion when Sen
ator Cockrell gets ugly and shows some
of h fighting spirit hat made him
a mighty good soldier Of the cOnfed-
eracy and enabled him to fight his way
to the top in politics. That is when
he Is playing whist with somebody who
doesn't 10Y the game.
To Cockrell 1t Is u~nforgivable TO make
a misplay. When that happens he rises
In his place and "CusseS out" everybody
in sight with enthusiasm and JUNCTION.
Among the young men around the COM
mission offices it is regarded as a PRIV
ilege to go out and play whist Of an
evening with the senator, provided, al
ways that they get away alive.
TO fall under the wrath Of his con-
demnation Is a fearful fate. 1t always
convinces the victim hat the safe thing
for him is to resign. He goes AWAY
sure that his job isn't worth a farth-
ing: and the neXt morning he meets
the suaVe old senator in the hall and
is assured jocularly that he plays q
right good game. but needs to read his
Hoyle a bit closer" Then he decides
1Ot to resign.

Thousands of tons of good food are

what is left over from the second cabin

venture the opinion hat the food wasted

be sufficient to feed all the hungry of

KNOCK.

THAT famous railroad man, the late
Samuel Sloan" said a New York bank
loved fast trains and hated slow
ones. They tell a story about a trick
once played on a railroad whose
was VIGOROUSLY slow.
Having several times to use his
railroads afternoon accommodation, he
caused q sign to be painted, which he
took from his pocket and hung in the
front Of one Of the cars when nobody
looking. The sign read:
Passengers are requested not to
pluck flowers while the train is in mo-
