Tells of Dining With Father Before ths
 Latter Was Killed by Thaw.

New York, Jan. 13.-The second trial of Harry K. Thaw for the killing Of Stanford White opened here this morn ing, when the state presented its case.
 Assistant District Attorney Francis P. Garvin outlined the states case in a ten minute speech.

 Lawrence Grant White. son of the man Thaw killed. was the first wit ness. He told of being with his father immediately before the shooting and of dining with him at the Cafe Martin, where Thaw also was dining with his wife and party of friends.
 Engineer Warner Paxton of the Mad ison Square Garden. an eyewitness of the shooting. told how he saw White sitting at a table, of hearing a shot and then. on looking around, seeing Thaw with a smoking revolver in his hand, standing within a foot and be- hind the stricken architect.
 Scores of detectives are Investigating a story to the effect that one of the jurors expressed an opinion decidedly favorable to Thaw.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Advocates of the Scheme Hope to See
 Measure Passed.

Washington, Jan, 13.--Hope is growing in the minds of its advocates that ship subsidy measure will he enacted at the present session of con- gress. It has developed that, during the early days of the session and dur ing the holiday recess, combination represent Atlantic and Pacific coast districts for the advocacy of any req sonable measure that will benefit the America merchant marine. ssf
 Representative Duncan E. McKin- ley, of California, has had much to do with the arousing of general inter- est in subsidy legislation. He has made study of the commercial situa- tion, particularly in the Orient and ill Central and South American coun- tries. Since he conducted party of congressman to the Isthmus of Pana- ma, he has been particularly enthusi- astic in favor of the establishment of merchant lines of steamships that will ply between parts of the United States and those of Central and South America. He says that the merchants and manufacturers of this country are losing golden opportunities in those countries because of lack of suitable transportation lines and he proposes to advocate the payment by the government of reasonable sub- sidy to steamship companies that will put direct lines of transportation be- tween America and the southern countries into operation.
 Behind Representative Mckinley in this effort will be a solid body of con- gressmen from the Pacific coast states and practically a solid body from the Atlantic coast states, although some of the southern representatives are opposed, on principle, to subsidy measure. The Pacific coast members have formed a sort of legislative asso- citation and propose to stand together in the support of such measures as they believe will benefit that part of the country.
 Opposition to the subsidy measure comes chiefly from the Northwestern states and from the south. The real ization is becoming general, how ever, that the development of the for eign trade ports in the south not oHly VIII De Ol llllIedldle DeHelL tU that section, but to the agricultural states of the middle west
 My belief is" said Representa- tive Mckinley, that one of the sur est and quickest ways to develop our foreign trade is through a graduated and carefully considered subsidy The countries of South America last year purchased the worlds markets pro- ducts to the amount of $360,000, ,000. Of this vast amount, America sup piled only about $50, ,000-less than 25 per cent. If we had ade- quate transportation lines, America could do more than half of the busi- ness in South America, perhaps three fourths. In the Orient, particularly in Japan, the situation is similar The Japanese are using American machin- cry in the manufacture of cotton goods and under what amounts to a govern ment subsidy, the manufacturers are building up an immense trade. That trade all comes out of our industries It is high time that American man. ufacturers. especially of cotton goods, were up and doing to protect their trade and to promote our commerce in the far east as well as in the fay south.

TAFT IS ANXIOUS.
His Great Size Is a Cause of Much
 Worry to Him.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Secretary Taft is built on ample specifications, both mentally and physically. He is just a bit sensitive about his physical makeup and, during the past year or two, has been devoting himself assi- duously to a reduction of his weight. On his return from his globe trotting trip he remarked with some pride that be had succeeded in reducing his weight materially, although he admit ted that even yet he was no pigny.
 In this connection. he tells a good story in which he. himself, plays part. At the opening of the present session Of congress. Representative Weeks. of Massachusetts, induced two members of the house of representa- lives each to draw a seat for him, in the biennial allotment of seats. One of them drew seat far down in the front of the house and tho other drew one in the rear. The latter was good seat, from which fine view of the whole assemblage can be had. and very desirable from many points of view. Mir Weeks chose the rear seat.
 Secretary Taft says that Weeks got off better than he did, if an exper- fence he had at a ball game is to be taken as criterion. The secretary of war is fond of a ball game, although he has little time to indulge himself in such recreation. When he does attend a game. however. it is his custom to obtain his accommodations in ad- vance, the accommodations being in the form of two seats. so that he may have room enough to spread himself when he becomes enthusiastic.
 One day last spring the secretary sent for his customary two seats, to a game which he desired to attend. They were sent to him. When he reached the grand stand that after noon he discovered that his seats were on opposite sides of one of the main aisIes. The joke. whether intentional or not. was on him, and he recOunts it with appreciation

MAY ROPE At
CHEYENNE SHOW
Eben P. Low Sets Ball Rolling
for Territory to Be
Represented.

According to the wyoming Tribune.
the Frontier show will be held this
year during the last week Of August.
The receipts for the three days last
year were sI5.s4s.
Eben P. Low is already working up
proposition TO send some Hawaiian
cowboys to Cheyenne to represent the
islands al the great festival
He thinks that two ropers and a
broncho-huster should make the trip.
and suggests that to avoid any dispute
afterward. the trio should be chosen
by vote OF the Hawaiian cowboys.
Personally he favors Archie Kaaua.
Ikua Purdy and Joe Kini. Mail1aI Ke-
niIike or Jim Naihe
Angus McPhee is Of the opinion that
Kaaua would more than make good
He holds the roping record Of the Ter
ritory OF e:3S "a, and is sensible,
level-headed fellow who Is not apt TO
get ratified under any conditions Nc
Phee says he is the surest roper that
he has ever come across.
Purdy is another top-notcher with
the rope. and MaikaI KeIiilike can both
ride and bust.
Joe KIM and jim Naihe are perhaps
the two best riders of wild horses IN
Hawaii today.
Eben Low has written to E. W.
Stone, the manager OF the Frontier
Day affair. about sending three local
representatives to Cheyenne in Au-
gust,
Every ranchman and ali interested
in bringing Hawaii to the front should
gladly contribute something toward
making the trip possible. On their re-
cent showings the mainland cattle
chasers have nothing on the local
boys.

Editor Advertiser: On several oeca-
sions during the past week the writer
might have been seen gathering up par
tieles of glass at various parts of Ka-
lakaua avenue, lest Others might be in
convenienced by riding on their rims.
That this glass is being scattered
with malicious intent is evidenced by
the fact that at 12:45 0 clock, Monday
afternoon. that thoroughfare about four
hundred yards beyond its junction with
King street was free of glass; and a
half hour later three broken bottles of
distinerively different eolors had been
thrown upon the roadway 10 catch the
unwsry autoist.
This premeditated injuring Of the
property Of others is misdemeano nor
that can and.should be stopped. If the
drivers and owners OF automobiles will
take the initiative and invite cyclists
and the decent element Of hackmen and
drivers Of delivery wagons TO cooper
ate with them. they can speedily bring

PLEASURE CRAFT
ARE DISAPPEARING

The owners of small boats living
along the Beach road are indignant
over various thefts of craft which
have occurred within the past few
months.
]. Cassidy has lost no less than
three pleasure boats. which he firmly
believes to have been stolen by Japa-
nese. sam Nainoa recently lost a fine
boat and only a day or so ago a skin
belonging TO H. L Herbert nyster7-
ousIy disappeared. Besides the craft
mentioned. the native fishermen living
along the Kalia flats have lost nurn-
Der of boats.
Sometimes boat works loose from
its moorings during a strong tide, but
Mr. Cassidy is firmly convinced that
in the majority of eases the loss of a
boat is due TO thieves who take the
boats over to the other islands and sell
them.
It is a curious thing that there Is
hardly an instance of boat lost from
the Kakaako or Kalia district having
been recovered.
A few months ago a large model
yacht valued ar $500, and owned by a
son Of J. Cassidy. got away while the

FroeIecher came to Hawaii for the
purpose Of wrestling Hitchayama when
he passed through on his way home.
He was very disappointed man when
he learned that the big Jap had gone
home by way of Europe.
''Hitchayama tried hard TO get a

mainland wanted none of his game. He
scared them by his size and weight.
He has now gone to London, where
the game is good and where he is

Eddie Tate. the local vaudeville man,
has $500 real money which says that
Froelecher can defeat the best Japa-

catch-as-catch-can rules He even
doesn't bar tiujitsu.
Froelecher, by the way, is an ex-
pert at jiujitsu. and Tor nearly two
years was instructor in this form of
physical torture at the National Sport

1t is probable that Froelecher may
be seen in bout at the Japanese
theater in the near future.
