CARRYING PHILIPPINE GUNS

SAN FRANCISCO, February 2S-
By the time the guns going forward
on the steamship America Maru reach
Manila there will be more than $4,000
new Springfield rifles there, or four for
every soldier in the service of Uncle
Sam in the archipelago. The shipment
being made on the japanese steamer
America Maru. which is to leave port
next Tuesday afternoon, amounts to
1880 cases, containing ten rifles each,
or total of 1890 guns In previous
shipments a total of $4,000 rifles was
sent to Manila. There are about 1900
regular troops in the islands, accord
ing to the latest official figures.
The America Maru, despite her ma

STREET CAR RAN
OVER 4 cow

Excitement was furnished to the peo-
pie living near the Kahauiki hill yes
terday evening by street car running
over cow and Japanese fourishing
a revolver in the crowd that gathered
at the scene of the accident, the two
affairs coming off shortly after z
o clock AS a result of the mix-up
between the COW and the car the former
was killed and the service temporarily
deranged, while as a result of the gun
play the police are looking for the
Jap.
The car swept around the curve at
the head of the hill just as the COW
meandered across the rails to get a
choice bit of green growing on the
cutbank. The hill there is steep and
the motorman was not able to do more
than check the speed of the car slight
ly before the cow was knocked down
and the car was rolling over it, both
trucks passing clear over the animal.
Among those who hurried to the
scene was a japanese and a dispute
of some kind arose between him and
number of Hawaiian boys, resulting in
the japanese pulling a revolver and
challenging the boys to come on. They
did, but in the direction away from
the japanese and towards the nearest
where they informed the po-
lice of the gun. The police have not
as vet located the man.

COOLEY FOUND
No KNOCKERS
Was Urged on Volcano Trip and
Found 1t Decidedly
Worth While.

Making use of the Shorter and
man of the Ellefords, who have for so
many weeks entertained Honolulu,
said last night: ''It is all a lie, this
talk of people knocking the volcano
trip. We have just come from the
volcano, and throughout the trip there
was not word of disparagement from
any except one baseball player in Hilo,
who remarked that it was not worth
the trouble. Everybody else seemed to
think it was more than worth the
trouble; / know we found it so.
In Honolulu before We left, during
the trip, and on our return, all we
heard of the volcano trip was In praise
of it, and the concensus of opinion
seems to be that even if there was not
a spark of fire to be seen, the trip is
we'll worth taking; that there are
things to be seen that would never be
forgotten; which would leave impress
sions that would never wear away.
My wife and daughter enjoyed It to
the full and 1 did also.
1--WE went as near as we dared and
saw as much as we could, and there
seemed to be special little phenomena,
fascinating performances, pulled off for
our special benefit.
"One moment we saw a sinuous and
threatening crack, although what IL
threatened was not clear in our minds
at the moment; then, of a sudden,
there was a dashing, squirming streak
of hell-fire and a zip and an uplifting
and the blowing off of the head of a
cone, and all, as it seemed, for our
special benefit.
1--WE found the treatment of guides
and hotel people and all others better
than we expected; everything was
better than we expected. 1t was
grand-see!"

BLAST KILLED MULE
At ALEWA QUARRY

AS the result of an extra heavy blast
at the Alewa quarry on Saturday there
is a dead mule on the garbage dumps
and a luna looking for job. 1t was
at about the quitting hour on Sat
urday that Luna Pulehu instructed his
quarrymen to throw in an extra can
or so of giant and rip the face of the
cliff Off There was some little de-
murring on the part of the man whose
duty it was to touch off the shot, but
he added a few more feet of extra fuse
and carried out his orders.
Everyone scuttled for place of
safety when the fuse began to sputter,
and it is fortunate that they did, for
the big charge hurled rocks to every
section of the quarry and threw one
giant boulder into the mule stables
two hundred and fifty feet away from
the face The rock. which weighed
several hundred pounds, came through
the side of the stable and struck
mule squarely on the flank, caving his
whole side in and killing the animal.
An investigation on the part of the
Road Supervisor placed the blame on
Pulehu, who is now no longer boss Of
the quarry His dismissal is said to
have resulted in a second explosion,
this time in the camp of Charley Achi,
for Pulehu is one of Achi's men, CO.
incidentally, and his dismissal was
Immediately seized upon and taken up
as a piece of political spite work on
the part of those responsible. As no
amount of talking appears to be able
to resurreet the mule. Pulehu was still
fired at late hour last night.

J. J. Hammond, a quiet appearing
Moana from the Colonies, the other
day, to remain a few weeks, is one
of the worlds wizards with the breech-
loader and in line for the worlds blue
rock shooting championship. He is a
Wellington IN. - man and followed
farming till he learned that he could
earn more money with his gun. He
has shot matches in New Zealand,
Australia, London and Monte Carlo,
and two years ago at the latter place
shot into third place for the Casino
prize of 10000 francs. competing
against the best marksmen of Europe
He is going from here to Los Angeles
to take part in a big shoot and will
be in Monte Carlo in July to have an
other crack at the big Casino prize.
Hammond visited the traps of the
Hawaiian Gun Club yesterday and had
little practise at the clays. He is
new at this kind of shooting, however,
and this, together with the fact that
he has been out of practise for a long
time, placed him at a disadvantage as
far as good scoring went. He was i'm
pressed with the work done by the
local shooters and said that they shot
to a very high standard of excellence.
It's all live bird shooting where I
come FROM" said Hammond yesterday.
We look on the clays as pretty low
sport. Blue rock shooting is much
more difficult. At Monte Carlo one
must stop his bird at from II to q IL
yards from the trap or else a miss is
counted. If your bird drops over the
fence, no matter how dead it may be,
you miss just the same. It's next to
impossible to stop a blue rock under
80 feet.
In New Zealand and other places
where much shooting is done two bar
rels are allowed. Here one barrel is,
the rule. I shot two yesterday and
some of the boys laughed at me. Down
under We shoot at unknown angles
from unknown traps.
The record for clays is 400 straight
birds For live birds the best on rec
ord is think ninety killed out of a
hundred. A. M. Gorrick did this. The
best Australian shot today is D. G.
Macintosh. In New Zealand the
king-pin is Duncan Fraser.

JAPANESE CUSTOM
MAY Be STOPPED

The custom the Japanese have, pecu-
liar to themselves, of promiscuous
commingling of the sexes in their pub
lie bath houses will very likely be
stopped in Honolulu within a very
short time. The local authorities have
never attempted to interfere in the
manner of conducting these bath
houses, of which there are many
throughout the city, as they were used
exclusively by the japanese, who re-
garded the bathing together of the
sexes quite as matter of course and
innocent of the transgression OF any
law. moral or otherwise.
An edict has recently been promul-
gated, however, by the Emperor or
Japan against the sexes bathing to-
gether, and with this to back them it
is probable that the authorities will
take steps to enforce changes among
the bath houses.
