CHECKERS" ON
BOARDS TONIGHT

Checkers" the play that made a
hit last week will be repeated tonight
at the Opera House. There will be
no matinee this afternoon as the
young actors have been working
mighty hard and the management
thinks it better not to put too much
work on their shoulders.
There will be songs interpolated as
usual, principally in the second act.
In the third act, the great race-track
scene in which Alfred Goulding as
Checkers wins $4,000 on a rank out
slider, Teddie Mcnamara expects to in
troduce little piece of work that will
add to the effect of the scene.
Teddie is Push" miller the tout
who steers Goulding on to the Long
Shot and he is very clever in the
part. In this scene he steers many
other bettors onto different horses
trusting to luck to get one or two TO
bet on a winner so that he will get
his commission. Unfortunately he
happens to be found out in his scheme
and there is clever piece of by-play
by the young comedian.
On Thursday night there will be
more vaudeville. The Pollard com
pany has undoubtedly made its big
gest success in this line and the way

Monday night has encouraged them

CITY WILL HAVE
.PETROLITHIC ROADS

Much time was consumed at the re-
gular meeting of the Board of Super
visors last night in discussing oral re-
ports from Mayor Fern, Supervisors
Kane and Quinn and Engineer Gere re-
garding the reconstruction of Waiahole
bridge, Koolaupoko, which collapsed in
a storm flood. The work has drawn
on the districts allowance until there
is only $3.50 left for April. A note or
$199 was passed last night to pay for
labor the rest of the month.
There was a little breeze over a pc
tition from about twenty Hawaiian
road laborers for an investigation of
the complaint that more than the sta7
tutory hours of work was imposed on
them. Mayor Fern wanted the Board
to act on the matter then and there,
but as some of the Supervisors were
informed that the end of every trouble
in the department was wholesale dis
missal of Republicans, and the explana-
ton OF the road supervisor on a former
occasion, which was accepted without
question, had been disputed since by
the aggrieved laborers, a motion to
have o thorough investigation by the
road committee was carried.
Bids for supplying a twenty horse
power engine, petrolithic roller tam
per, spike disc, harrow and cultivator,
were opened, tenders being offered by
the Won Hamm- Young Company and
the Honolulu Iron Works. The Won
Hamm- Young Company offered to 1ur-
nish the engine for S104S on wheels
and for $3.50 on skids; the petrolithic
tamper for $500; disc harrow for $50
and cultivator for about the same price
The Iron Works bids were $1157 for the
engine; petrolithic roller $7S3,75; disc
$77 and cultivator ST.. The bids were
referred to Engineer Gere to report VI
those for the engine, he having stated
that the plants for petrolithic roaC
making were identical, hence the low
contract for that machinery.
Supervisor Quinn submitted a pro
position, which was accepted, to secur
a quantity of gravel from Mr.. Swanzy'
place. He said it would enable
stretch of the belt road to be finishe,
with gravel top dressing for few hun
bred dollars which otherwise woul
cost thousands
More time was allowed the fire ue
partment committee to consider Chic

National Guard Bill.

Mr.. Strickland. in the House. has
put in an amended copy Of the bill
presented two years ago to compel the
organization OF the state militia to
conform to the regulations OF the
United States army. This bill was de-
feated in the Sixteenth General AS
sembly on the plea that 1t was pre-
sented for the purpose Of legislating
out OF office certain OF the officers OF
the guard. and the plea gained
strength as 1t was found the nationa!
army is not now organized on the
brigade formation" OF which army
men speak. Had the proposed law been
enacted. It was stated, the ONCE OF
brigadier general would have been
abolished. Mr.. Strickland has avoided
this objection by providing that all
present officers of the guard shall hold
their Offices for two years. or until
January OF 1910.

from a citizen of Huerfano, and a
man who has taken part in the coun-
ellis of the state, though refusing to
give his name.
The letter stated that election
frauds had prevailed in Huerfano and
Las Animas for eighteen years; that
while the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com
pany owns more than either the Rio
Grande or Colorado & Southern rail-
road companies, its annual assessment
was based on valuation OF 100000.
while the Rio Grande was assessed on
a valuation of 100000 and the Colo
rado G. Southern on a valuation Of
100000. The result, the latter
claimed, was that the revenue of the
