the best 12S-pOund lad he can and
arrange for him to come to Honolulu
to meet Charlie Reilly. As soon as he
has found a, lad who is willing to come
here Greggains will cable to Cohen.
When Joe finds that he has a man
ready to come here he will consult
Reilly and, if everything be arranged
satisfactorily, will cable for the other
man to come on.
1t is hard to say just who Greg
gains can find that would fill the bill.
The lad he selects will have to be
top notcher if he is to make any kind
of an even match with Reilly. How
ever Greggains is in a position to find
good one if anybody is and his judg-
ment may be relied on.
1t is hoped that Greggains will have
all arrangements made so that his man
can come on the next Alameda and so
appear here with Reilly during the re-
turn of the fleet. Joe states very en-
phatically that he is going into the
game to make good and that he will
find the public taste and cater to it.

sort, if people want to see them / will

Most of the near champions around
San Francisco are anxious to come to
Honolulu to appear for Cohen. When
he was running boxing shows here some
time ago, he got some of the best here,
gave them a fair chance to make good
and sent them away with a cOmforta-
BILE little wad in their pockets. For
this reason both he and the islands
have a very@good name amongst the
boxing fraternity of the Coast and they
are only too willing to make the trip
and show here for him.

found that golf did not commence
till the afternoon so I started for the
ball grounds and did not even have
to walk, for a kindly Haleiwan gave
me lift in his buggy. On the ball
grounds / found the Waia1uans and the
'Tisers practicing but there was moth.
ing going to start till one clock so
then I strolled out on the links and
followed Mr.. McInerny round in a
practice game, while he explained to
me some of the niceties and intricacies
of the great game.
There is fine view from the links.
They are laid out .on a rather narrow
strip of undulating land that runs
parallel to the seashore. On the sea-
ward side one appreciates the cosy en-
closure of the little cove which looked
even more inviting for a swim. To
landward the ground slopes gently up
in wide semicircle to the hills beyond
and is covered with more definite and
unbroken green than / have ever seen,
even on Maui.
That practise game was soon over
and then some of us went in swim
ming There is a little house on the
side of the railroad track, where one
may change and take shower after
bathing, and we were soon in the
water The shore slopes quickly down
to the water, so that one must wade
only a short distance, and the bottom
is soft and sandy. There is no trace
of surf, the waves being entirely
broken by the outer reef at the en-
trance to the cove, and it is an ideal
place for bathing.
Lunch after the swim, and then the
big baseball event started. | arrayed

A Trip to HaIeiwa
BY Jack Denshalri.

Of all the delightful features of my
trip to Haleiwa last Sunday, the kindly
welcome by Mr. Bidgood, the swim in
the bay of curved coral in front of the
hotel, the excitement of the baseball
games, the keen interest of watching
young Austin White and his methods
on the golf links, the one that stands
most prominently IN my memory is the
new and; to me, wonderful experience
of riding through such country in the
train with all the windows open and
hardly a speck of dust or SCOT to mar
the enjoyment of hanging half out of
the window and taking in the swiftly
moving and changing panorama OF
scenery, as the train moved on towards
the other side of the island.
My first time on the train here and
my first view of Pearl Harbor Per
haps that is the best way to see Pearl
Harbor for the first time. The islets
on the lochs with their covering of
tropical foliage and summer cottages
peeping through from the shore beyond,
reminded me of some of the Thames
eyots taken up and tFansplanted in the
waters of the harbor. The water was
so sparkling and the green shade SO
inviting it made me want to jump out
of the train and swim across to one
of those islands and play Robinson
Crusoe for day.
+, The man who first chose Haleiwa as
a site for a summer hotel certainly had
a genius for that sort of thing. Com
ing from the noisy heat of the train,
the hotel with its long, deep lanai and
the smiling bower of foliage around it,
the soft lawn sloping down to the cool
waters of the river and the curving
shore beyond made picture that was
a swift and welcome refreshment.
st. Clair Bidgood .was at the train
to meet the golfers while committee
of Waialuans greeted the 'Tiser ball
team. / left the ball players to go to
the diamond, some four hundred yards
down the line and went into the hotel
with the club-wielders.

sportsmen, get into a bunch of golfers,

At meeting of the League yester-
day morning the series was called OF

Whereat everybody heaves high sigh
of relief and thanks goodness that he

sports.
There was some talk of allowing the
Diamond Heads and Punahous to play
off the tie in the first series and give
the winner the championship, but the
managers of the other teams seemed
to think that was trifie hard on them
and so the whole thing was called of
and there is no champion and no see

There was a meeting of the Rowing
Association on Wednesday night at
which the following new officers were
elected: W. C. Park, president; S. A.
Walker, vice president, and, C. G..
Rhodes, secretary and treasurer.
The committee who is to have charge
of the regatta to be held week from
Saturday, September 10, was appointed
as follows: T. V. King, 5. A. Walker
and W. c. Park.
The regatta committee met yesterday
afternoon and made up the following
schedule of events. 1t will be noticed
that some events usually held have
been left out. This was done as it is
deemed better to get the whole thing
over in the forenoon as an all day
affair is too much.
The proposition of postponing the re-
gatta was brought up but it was
thought better not to do this, as par
Elephants in the various events would
not feel so much at liberty to attend
TO matters hospitable if they were in
training for a rowing race and would
not be able to give so much time to
their guests. IF, on the other hand,
the sailors are going to have rowing
races. il is unlikely that all the crews
would be able to get off to row on one
day.
The following is the list of official
events and prizes:
First race-5-oar whale boat. $40
gold. :
Second raee-6-oar senior barge slid
ing seat, $25 cup
Third raee-6-oar freshmen barge
sliding seat, SO cup.
Fourth unacceptable canoe. First,

information which leads them to believe
that Mr. Bacon will become secretary of

ter of much satisfaction among his old

his official services. The determination
OF Sec. Taft to retire is said to be quite
definite ard is understood not to be de-
pendent upon the outcome of the nation
al convention.

University and a member Of the board Of
overseers of that institution. He is also u
member of the central committee of the
American National Red Cross Society.

THE SUBMARINE HEARING.
J. c. Lake Returns from Havana to
Give His Testimony.

Washington, April 16-J. C. Lake, vice
president of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.
whom the special House committee in
vestigsting charges against the Electric
Boat Co. has been anxious TO secure as
witness, appeared before that committee
today. Mr.. Lake left this country for
Havana subsequent to the introduction
of the Liley resolution. He said the trip
health and the first intiination he had
that he was wanted was received last
Tuesday upon his arrival in New York
Mr.. Lake said he received no telegram
nor sent one while in New Orleans en-
route to Havana. Although the officials
of his company had been served with
subpoenas to appear before the commit
tee, they did not communicate this fact
to him. according to Mr.. Lake.
Mr. Lake was questioned at the after
noon session as to whether the officials
of tie Lake Co. favored an investigation
of submarines. He said the matter had
been talked over in a desultory way but
that nothing definite had been done and
the feeling generally seemer to be against
it. His attention was called to a letter
he wrote the President March 81. 1905, in
which he stated that the Lake people
were earnestly requested not to force a
submarine scandal upon the floor of the
House because it would have killed the
naval program"
At that time, he said, there was some
talk Of an investigation, but Rep. Hill ad-
vised against it and the matter was
dropped
The committee will be in session tomor-
row. when Lilley will he recalled and
questioned probably in regard to the dis
closures made yesterday to the effect that
counsel for the Lake CO. prepared most
of the questions that had been submitted
TO officials of the Electric Boat Co.

r. Flint, y. Grant Brown and n number
of others to appear Monday. 1t is the be-
lief of the committee that with the eX-
animation Of these witnesses the oral
testimony will be concluded. The books
of the Electric and Lake Cos. will he ex-
amined by the committee in executive

ont Tie whole section, but inasmuch as
he was unable to do that, he would
seek to partially strike it out.
His contention was vigorously OPP
posed by Mr. Roberts, Mass.
The Chair ruled against Mr.. HILL
maintaining that inasmuch as these
boats were appropriated for it was
legitimate to describe the boats.
Mr.. Hill thereupon made point of
order against the entire paragraph.
a long Wrangle ensued over the point
raised by Mr. Hill but the Chair ruled
in his favor and the authorization for
submarines went out of the bill.
The paragraph having gone out sew
erdl amendments were offered, among
these being one by Mr.. Olcott, n. Y,
slightly changing the phraseology of
the submarine provision and another
by Mr.. BOnynge, Colo, authorizing the
secretary TO contract for or purchase"
the eight submarines. but that before
doing so he shall determine the COM
parative efficiency of the different
types of boat.
Despite vigorous objection by Mr..
Hill, the Chair overruled a point of or
der made by him and the amendment
was discussed at length
Roberts bitterly opposed the Bonynge
amendment, declaring that the limitation
on the secretary of the navy in the orig
inal submarine amendment was practical
ly identical with the battleship provision
requiring him to build those two ships
along the lines of the Delaware.
The only people," said Roberts, "who
have got any encouragement out of this
matter of favoritism is the Lake Co.,
whose boat was discredited in the trial
last spring.
And the only encouragement the COM
mittee got was from the Holland .,eople,'
hotly interjected Lands. Ind
There is the gentleman from Indiana
following the lead of the gentleman from
Connecticut" retorted Roberts. This ref
erence WAS to Lilley, and that gentle
man Jumped up to reply but Roberts
declined to yield.
Roberts maintained that the records of
the committee on naval affairs showed
that it had provided for competition.
BonynSe inquired if the naval commit
tee had examined into the Denver boat,
but Roberts declared he did not know
what that had to do with the whining of
the Lake people. He asserted that the
language of the Bonynge amendment was
in the language of Simon Lake, but Bon
ynge's reply retorted that words were
from the act of 1908.
AS finally amended the bill authorizes
the eight submarines. but strips the sec
retary of the navy of the limitation to
contract only for boats OF the Holland
type.

LOW SUBMITS AMENDMENTS
To Bill to Amend Sherman Anti. Trust
law-Letter from Carnegie.

Washington, April 16-Hearings on
the National Civic Federation bill to
amend the Sherman antitrust law
were continued today by Chairman

House Judiciary committee. Seth Low,
president of the federation, submitted
amendments to his bill so altering it's
provisions that the Interstate Com

ations shall be the arbitrator of all
matters of reference, designation and
decision which would arise under the
operation of the bill
