CUPS HERE, BUT
NO INFORMATION

One Of the afternoon papers took
occasion yesterday afternoon to call
on the Outrigger Club to wake up with
regard to some cups that are being
exhibited in the window of local
store 1t seems that these cups have
been put up as trophies for regatta
to be held here when the Clark tourists
arrive.
When seen on the subject yesterday,
the captain of the club said, 81 know
absolutely nothing about the cups. The
Outrigger Club has never been notified
in any way what they are for, when
they are to be raced for or what the
conditions of gift are. The matter has
never been brought up at a meeting
of the club.
81 understand that Mr.. Ford ar
ranged for the cups to be given by
the Clark people. But he has not
written to me on the subject nor, SO
far as 1 can make out, to anybody
else who is an officer of the club.
E'If the club is expected to get up
a regatta for the entertainment of Wis
itors, it is certainly capable of doing
it. Anything that we have gone into
SO far, has always been a success. But
we must certainly know something
about what we are expected to do. No
body seems to know where Mr.. Ford is,
or when he will be here.
"Our position in the matter is that
we are willing to take part in a re-
gatta and to do the best we can to
make it a success, but we have no
information about anything and also
we have very little money. a regatta
is not produced without certain neces-
sary funds and it is certainly not pro-
duced with nothing to go on but an
exhibition of cups that nobody knows
anything about.
II would suggest that, if Mr.. Ford
started this thing, as he evidently did,
he at least communicate with me or
some officer of the club and give def
mite information. If there is to be a
regatta and the club is notified of it.,
YOU may rest assured that the boys will
come through and do their best to
make the affair the splendid success
that all our regattas have been so far. !"

Jewels Have Full Team.

The Jewels are not too confident of
winning, they are out for practise ev-
cry day and should have a really strong
team. Both Eddie Fernandez and Sum
ner are back with them and have been
out for practise during the week.
Leslie will do the twirling for the
Diamond Head team. This pitcher has
a very hard delivery and also a bunch
of curves that is liable to fool even the
veteran player The only chance that
the Japanese have is to keep steady
and not swat at Leslie too hard. If
they let him work a bit and hide their
time for the right instant in which to
his, they should be able TO find him for
a few bingles.
Winnie viii catch for Leslie He play
ed very steady and reliable game dur
ing the short season of last summer
and NAV be looked 70 for the right
brand of bali.
At the very important post Of first
base. the Jewels will have Eddie Fer
nandez. acknowledged TO be the best
first baseman on the Islands. The 9th
er positions will be filled by tried men
and it looks as though the Japs would
have TO get up and hump themselves
to make a good showing against these
veterans of the big league.

|NTERLEAGUE
GAMES SUNDAY
Japanese and Jewels Working
Hard for First Game Be-
tween Leagues.

If only the weather remains fair the
first game of the big baseball series at
the Athletic Park on Sunday viii be,
without doubt, one of the biggest at
fractions ever seen in Honolulu.
There has been plenty of talk about
the event around town recently and
the one fear expressed by the fans is
that it will rain and so make the game
impossible. But the weather man is
usually pretty good round Christmas
time and SO hopes are high for fine
day.
The two teams are taking that first
game very much to heart. The Japa-
nese have made no bones about their
belief that they can win the first game,
if not all of them and they are work
ing every day to make this belief be-
come a reality.
The diamond at Athletic Park is by
no means in bad condition, IN spite of
the recent rains and, should there be
no heavy wetness between now and
Sunday, it will be in fine shape.
Jack Motley is out to coach his play
ers every day and the extra week s
time, allowed by the postponement from
last Sunday, is giving him an oppor-
tunity to put really fine edge on the
team.

SPARE THE DUMB I'M
mn

In another column is printed an
editorial from the Houston Post
which might be copied with advan-
tage by every paper in the state. BY
this it is not meant that the ideas
expressed are original with the Post.
No one with spark of humanity in
his breast can witness the cruel treat
1nent often accorded our dumb SER
wants without entering a protest.
Probably the great majority of papers
have at one time or another raised
their voice in an earnest appeal for
at least simple decency in the treat
ment of animals.
1t is hare to understand how peo-
pie who are not monsters can show
utter Indifference to the sufferings
of animals The Post speaks of
horses being tied for hours in the
sun. To be sure, it is not always easy
to find shade, but little considera-
ton would do much to make things
easier for the patient animals. It
surely ought not to be necessary to
leave them standing for hours with
out food or water
Many things are allowed to be, not
from sheer cruelty, but because men
and women are criminally thought
less. Why should diseased, half
starved animals be allowed to roam
the streets? A little trouble would
put them out of their misery. Why
should not the powers that be see to
the matter? Make an ordinance pro-
viding for such cases, if people are
not humane enough to do it of their
own accord.
In the case of animals nominally
under the care of their owners, one
would suppose that self-interest
would dictate humane treatment If
that is not incentive enough a hui
name society should have authority
to investigate cases of alleged cruel
ty and be armed with full power to
inflict suitable penalties. Houston is
not the only place which needs a
society with the long name. Let
Brownsville show herself willing to
lead in a movement for the better
treatment of our dumb friends.

Commission Form of Government.

Evidently the commission form of
government would be a good thing
for the nation in some ways, the Deni-
son Herald thinks. Says The Herald:
1T would have been less expensive
and saved a world of time and en-
ergy if the whole tariff matter had
been referred to a committee COM
posed of Senator Aldrich and few
members of the senate and house who
would follow his leadership and do
what he desired done without any
fuss. This is practically what the
framing of the tariff bill amounts to
as it is being whipped into shape,
with the possible exception that some
of the members of congress are man
ufacturing a little political buncombe
for future use" 1t does look very
much that way, too. Outside of the
very few, there are hardly any men,
bers of the senate or the house that
seem to be known in this matter, mad
so the tariff bill when completed will
be the work of very Terrell

BAKER CASE SETTLED
MRS. WALLACE GETS DAM
AGES FOR HUSBANDS DEATH
o. II. q \. Company Had No Objec-
ton To Reasonable Settlement i'm
Matter.

a case that has attracted consid-
cradle attention was settled yester-
cay afternoon without trial in cir
cult court, says a Baker City dispatch.
1t was the case OF Mrs Lee Wallace
versus Oregon Railroad & Naviga-
ton company, for the killing of her
husband at the railroad crossing on
Fourth street in Baker City last April.
Mrs. Wallace sued for the limit al
lowance made by the statute in such
cGses, and a compromise was effected
by the company paying her $275O and
$50 for court expenses.
Those who supposed the railroad
company intended to fight the case
to the last court of appeal were DOOM
ed to disappointment for there was no
sposition apparently on the part of
the company to take the case into
court If a settlement was possible.
Judge Bennett, of The Dalles, and
Saxton and Goodwin of Baker City
represented Mrs. Wallace, and the
company was represented by G. A
Jt hns, local attorney, and the COM
pany's legal department at Portland
including Mr.. Cotton and Mr.. Spen-
| Ger.
Lee Wallace was in the transfer
| business in this city. One morning
last April he was crossing the rail
road on Fourth street when fas
train struck him. He was instantly
| killed and his horses were also Kill
| ed. In the case it was alleged tina
| the train was running very fast ant
because of the secluded crossing Mr.
Wallace was in no way to blame 10

tained is not known as the case di'
