RECORD BREAKING NUMBER OF BILLS
Do Nothing Congress Is Pour
 ing in the New Laws
BAIT FOR NEGRO VOTES
President Has Promoted His Barber To Bookkeeper's Position-Tariff Revision Planned To Come
 After the Elections.

Washington, March 19.-(Special)-In respect to the number of bills introduced the present Congress, it is already evil dent, will be a record -breaker.
 It may be a do nothing Congress so far as getting legislation Is concerned but representatives and senators continue to pour in bills at an amazing rate all of which makes many people glad that the committee on rules Is as hide-bound a~ It's critics accuse 1t of being. Since the House convened there have been about twenty-two thousand bills, resolutions, etc, introduced.
 In the same time the Senate has in t,oduced about seven thousand measures of one kind and another calculated to relieve the country.
 Last summer when the President issued his order dismissing the soldiers of the Twenty y-fifth infantry for shooting up the town of Brownsville he followed within few days afterward by the appoint ment of Ralph Tyler, an Ohio negro, to tlle authorship of the navy department in the hope of somewhat appeasing the oHlO neSIOtS lHc Notci D in general
 It was announced today that white clerk of bad habits in Tylers office had been reduced from $500 to $500 year. His place will be taken by negro, Will liam Dulaney. Dulaney has been attached to the White House force since President Roosevelts incumbency.
 His duties consist in daily shaving the President. Under Tyler he will drop the barber's trade to become bookkeeper.
 Representative Tawney of Minnesota, the chairman of the House appropriation committee, is said to have a resolution up his sleeve which he will attempt to rass before the closing days of Congress. It is a sort of a sop to t.-e standpatters.
 It directs the ways and means commit tee to employ experts to make an inquiry this summer and fall into tariff condi- lions and after the election the ways and means committee is directed to hold hear ipgs. TO do so before that time would it is argued, bring the tariff into politics, which all republicans are very anxious to avoid.

RETURN TRIP
WO0ds-Fisher's All-American
Ball Team TO Start East
in November.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-The
tour of an All-American ball club,
headed by Jess Woods and Mike
Fisher, to Japan, Manila and Hawaii,
now looks assured. Both Japan and
Manila have been heard from, and
these places are enthusiastic over the
idea of having big league stars visit
their respective countries.
The benefit that the game will de-
rive in these different places by a
visit of such a classy ball club as the
managers propose taking can hardly
be appreciated. In Japan the colleges
and schools are just as wild over the
great American game as our own edu-
cational institutions. They, however,
have little chance to learn the game
in Japan, and although fair ball is
played, exhibitions by the best men
in America would show the natives of
Nippon, Manila and Hawaii the fine
points of the game Two years ago
Waseda University of Japan sent
ball club to the United States to learn
the game. They got no further than
California and had no chance to see
the game AS it is played by the big
leaguers. BY a team invading Japan
not only would Waseda derive the
benefits, but all ambitious teams and
players in the country could have the
advantage of seeing the game played
in its highest form.
By the Manila League and the Jap
anese League sharing the expense the
financial end of the deal can easily be
taken care of. Games in Japan now
draw from $1,000 to 10000 spectators.
Woods and Fisher will ask Toxic to
break the worlds record in attendance
when the All-Americans play there.
Toxic has the population to do it and
the Japs would realize the advertising
they would get.
The city of Manila is as large as
San Francisco and is crazy baseball
town. President Sebree of the Manila
League is confident that his end of
the deal can be well taken care of.
Mike Fisher had a. talk with 'tJiggs"
Donahue and Doc" White of the Chi
cago White Sox and both are crazy to
make the trip. The reputation of these
two players needs no comment. Chance
of Chicago, Chase of New York and
Bill Lange, the greatest fielder that
ever lived, all have expressed their
desire to be on the touring team. The
fact of the matter is that most any
player in the United States would be |
only too anxious to take such a glo- |
rious trip.
The team will start about the first of
sailing direct to Japan, |
thence to Manila and stopping at Ha- |
wall on its returns. F. Bulletin.

A meeting of the Honolulu Baseball
League was held yesterday afternoon
present being President D. P. R. Isen-
berg, Frank E. Thompson, F. E
Steere, Lester Petrie and John Wise.
In connection with the proposition
to bring a college team to Hawaii
from California and Japan, F. F..
Steere reported a number of sugges-
tions for preliminary arrangements.
The report advised that the trustees
OF the baseball league handle all fl
nances connected with the bringing of
the college teams here, and that as
soon as the visit of the co1legians be-
comes certain, season tickets for the
series at S. each be issued. The teams
would be here the best part of six
weeks. Local merchants to be asked
to finance the proposition and they to
be reimbursed from the gate receipts.
After~all expenses have been paid, So
per cent of the net proceeds to go to
the league.
Steere's idea is to play two games
on Saturdays and Sundays.
The report was accepted.
Frank Thompson reported a balance
of s94.14 to the credit of the league.
It was decided to reserve the old
bleachers for the use of children, who
will be admitted on payment of ten
cents.
The meeting adjourned till Thurs

WHITE SOX
WILL COME

SAN FRANCISCO, March 16-Jess
Woods, who gained fame and dollars
by successfully promoting the trip of
the Coast League Stars to Honolulu
at the close of the 1907 season, has had
a long talk with President Charles
Comiskey of the White Sox and it is
practically settled that the one-time
worlds champions will do some Of
next year. During the conversation
yesterday Woods proved to the Chi
cago magnate that he could make ex-
penses on the trip and at the same
time get his team into shape. Comis-
key stated that he was well satisfied
that the trip could be made and that
at this time there was nothing on the
horizon that would prevent him sailing
over the seas at the opening of the
next training season.
Comiskey thought that he could ar
range so that the team could leave
San Francisco in February and get
back before the first of April. This
would give him three full weeks in the
islands and with the sea voyage would
nave plGIty u mt Sldl0O
that the trip to Honolulu would in no
way interfere with the coming of the
White Sox to the Coast next year.
The Recruits could play here just as
they have this. year and the regulars
could play three or four games before
going to the islands and three or four
upon their return.
Comiskey will leave San Francisco
for Los Angeles this evening or tomor-
row morning, but in the meantime
Norris O'Neil will meet Woods and
make all the arrangements for the trip.
These plans may upset Woods pro-
posed trip with a Coast League team
to Manila but as yet he has not fully
decided whether he will give up the
journey or not.

FISHING OUGHT
TO BE EXPLOITED

c. F. Maxwell, of Auckland, who is
visiting Honolulu and who is an en-
thusiastic fisherman, IS of the opinion
that fishing round Honolulu is good
enough to be a promotion asset and
thinks that the Promotion Committee
might do worse than give some atten-
ton to the matter.
II found it extremely hard to get
any information about fishing here, -
said Mr.. Maxwell yesterday. People
told me that it was no good to go
fishing here as the fish wouldn't bite.
I brought my tackle witlAeme but if it
hadn't been for reading the fishing
articles in the Advertiser, shouldn't
have used it.
Where I come from the trout and
sea-fisbing draw many visitors to the
country. It is surprising what a num-
Der of people are fond of angling and
who will take their tackle wherever
there is a chance to catch anything.
Il have been out a number of times
in the vicinity of Honolulu and have
had good sport on every occasion. II
information as to the fishing round
Honolulu were available for tourists it
would supply a much needed some
thing to do when all the sights have
been seen and beside drawing tourists
here would help to bring them back
again. The sights when once seen have
been seen for ever, but there is the
glorious uncertainty of fishing which
makes the sport 50 fascinating.
Every Saturday during the summer
season a steamer leaves the Auckland
wharf for the fishing grounds The
charge for the trip is fifty cents each
person and bait and hot water are pro-
vided free. Rods and tackle can be
hired aboard. About three and half
hours fishing is allowed and catch OF
twenty fish, mostly snapper, weighing
from two to five pounds is quite COM
mon. The wives and children OF the
anglers frequently go to the fishing
grounds and during the afternoon tea
is served

SOCKER GAMES
ARE FINISHED
Foster Robinson'S Team Wins
Alii0lani Scratch Six
Contest.

The last game of the AIiioIanf
Scratch Six Seeker League took place
yesterday afternoon. and after a stub
born contest resulted in win for Fos-
ter Robinson's team by one goal to
nil The schedule of matches had been
arranged to give each of the four con-
testing teams six games each. From
this series of games the sides cap
tanned by F. Robinson and p. Hoapilf
came out with eight points each to
their credit. This necessitated an adj
ditional game to decide the Champion
ship.
The play yesterday afternoon was
very even, although Robinson's team
appeared to have more determination
and staying power. During the first
half Keola was greatly in evidence for
his side and brought off several speedy
runs. lie lacked support of the other
forwards. however, and his rushes
We're consequently blocked by Xiii
Fong and Nett, both of whom played
great game. In the second half Fos-
ter's side had the advantage OF the
hill and kept the ball in their oppo-
nents territory. Suemoto and James
Fern showed up remarkably well and
only need a little more practise to be-
come really good players. Harry Field
did some good work for his side and
for one so small played a plucky game.
The whistle found no goal scored by
either side and it was agreed to play
an extra interval each way to decide
the event.
The youngsters had now been play
ing for some time, but this did not
slacken the game, and both sides still
played all they were worth. If any
thing, however, Robinson,s men play
ed with more confidence and dash. In
spite of the efforts of Field and L.
Hoapili, their opponents kept the ball
dangerously round the goal and Kane
ALI was called upon two or three times
to save. The first extra half was un-
productive of result and the teams
again crossed over.
The game now appeared to be for the
team which could show the most en-
durance, and in this Fosters side now
began to assert itself. After nearly
scoring, however Keola broke away
and after a speedy run nearly Melted
the ball. Directly after this Foster f.
nally managed TO notch a point and
won the game.
After the game the following menu
bers of the winning team were pre-
scented by Mr.. Blackman with silver
medals: Foster Robinson (captain),
Yataro Suemoto, w. Nett, Xiii Fong.
James Fern and S. Bellina. The game
was refereed by J. C. Anderson.

MORE ATHLETIC
RECORDS FILED
Information on the Subject
viii Be Thankfully
Received.

The quest for island athletic records
is being rewarded, and it looks as ii
an absolutely correct and complete list
would be compiled.
Research shows that the Kameha-
meha Schools team ran the mile relay
in $40 at the Y. NJ. C. A meeting held
December 2. 1905. The record until
then was held by the Punahou team
which had made 3:46 some time pre-
viously.
The holder of the half mile record OF
2:0S is Edward Deverill. He is at
present on Kauai. The record was
made at KapioIani Park, March 80
1901.
the Oahu College journal, and the files
of the daily papers, L. H. Miller, on
March 80, 1901, at Kapiolani Park, ran
the 120 yards high hurdles in Is 4-5
seconds. Pa, then running for the
Kams, finished third. There is a
previous record of 16 Ia seconds made
by H. Hapai of Oahu College in 1895
The Punahou team on May IL, 1895,
ran the mile relay at Kapiolani Park
in S:46. This time was tied by the
Kamehameha team in the following
year.
The record for the 22O yards low hur-
dies was made by William William
son in 1901, the time being q 1-5
seconds.
Examination of the files shows that
in 1897 NJ. A. Cheek, competing for the
Y. NJ. c. A, put the 16-pound shot
SO feet II LIZ inches. In 1900, Oliver
Jones of the Kams threw the 16-pound
hammer SS feet.
The record for the 900 yards dash,
made by Akana in the Oahu College
Kamehameha meet in 1902, was % rs
seconds. The performance of Rice on
Saturday, therefore, established a new
record.
Any further information pertaining
to local records will be thankfully re-
ceived.
