Less Than a Third Vote


The whole vote cast apprOximatsd
$4,000 or a little more than one-half
that cast at the special election called
for the ratification of the Hetch
Hetchy municipal water project. The
total vote cast was considerably less
than one-third of the registered vote
and but little more than one-third OF
the average vote cast at municipal or
general elections.
The returns indicate but light diner-
ence of attitude on the part OF the
voters as related to those PROPOSE
tions which involved purely economical
problems and those which involved in
greater or lesser degree the socio-
logical question

was largely an economic proposition.

PUNAHOU FIELD

The Y. M. c. A. authorities have re-
ceived permission to hold their annual
field and track meet at Alexander Field
and a meeting of the field and track
men has been called for tomorrow
night at the Y. M. c. A. to decide whe-
Their the meet shall be pulled off on
February q, as per schedule, or be
postponed for a week in order to allow
the field to be put in as good shape as
possible.
All interested are urgently requested
to attend the meeting tomorrow night.
The track at Alexander Field is said
to be quite fast and what is more i'm
portant, is perfectly accurate. When
the interscholastic field days come to
be held there is more than likelihood
that some records will go by the board

CRACK MINES
WOULD COME

Pat Gleason is in receipt of a letter
from the manager of the Santa Clara
baseball team, stating that the team
would like to pay another visit here
this summer
The manager of the Stanford has
also written asking if there is any
chance of visit being arranged.
Both teams would be willing to come
provided their expenses were paid.
Neither wants to make anything out OF
the trip over and above expenses.
. The matter is up to the trustees of
the Honolulu Baseball League. The
fans, of course, would howl their heads
off getting the mines here but once the
teams were in Honolulu would prefer
to stay down town and learn the result
of the game by telephone or read about
it in the papers.
The trustees have not been encourag-
ed by the crowds which have rewarded
their enterprise in bringing visiting
teams here in the past and Honolulu
will probably have to worry along with
such ball as the home boys can put vi
until the local fans experience q
change of neart or of pocket.

There will be a meeting of all inter-
ested in the local Marathon in the
roof garden of the Young Hotel this
evening at 1880 o'clock.
A large attendance is requested for
at this meeting many important details
of the race will be threshed out.
Messrs. Hopwood and Chiffon of Ka.
mehameha Schools and Fort Shafter
respectively, will be unable to serve
on the committee owing to pressure of
business and C. F. Chillingworth and
A. X. Vierra have been appointed in
their place.
Training is becoming general and al
though entries have not been called
for as yet, judging from the talk on
the street there will be as many as
forty in the race.

START TRAINING

frankie Smnth and Charlie Reilly
have started training for their fifteen
rounds go at the Orpheum which takes
place a week from Saturday
Both lads want to get the decision
and will use every effort to get into
such shape as will effect the desired
consummation.
Reilly is working at the Orpheum
and Smith will do his stunts at Fort
Shafter.
Eddie Hines will spar with Reilly
and will probably be seen in a prell-
minary with Soldier McCunough, who
made a very favorable impression in
his recent go with Young Scott.
The other preliminary has not yet
been decided on.

MAXWELL HAS
A MURDER CASE

LItIUE, February Camp " Maka-
well had a nader committed in it's
midst last Sunday and in the heat OF
the excitement forgot to take the first
steps to have the murderer arrested,
that of notifying the police.
1t was about ave in the afternoon
last Sunday when the whole camp was
aroused by The finding of the body OF
one of the Japanese with the head
nearly severed from the trunk. A
number Of the Okinawa tribe of Japa-
nese are living in the camp, and this
was one of them. The Okinawas have
a dialect that is not understood by the
japanese as a whole, and it is difficult
to get anybody who can interprete from
their language into English. AS far
as can be learned the murderer is con-
sidered halfwitted by his countrymen
and of a very excitable temper.
Last Sunday afternoon he Joined a
group of them, and seeing a friend in
a STOPPING position Of a sudden grab
bed a cane knife, and before anybody
could prevent it dealt the man two
cuts, either of which was mortal. In
the CONSERVATION that followed the
deed the perpetrator managed to es-
cape.
It was half past eleven o'clock that
night before Sheriff Crowell was no
titled of the deed. He Immediately
set out on a hunt for the murderer
but the latter had such a start that the
police found themselves baffled. Meth

1t may not be generally known that
Bob Levy, the popular local jehu, at
one time cut quite a swathe in athletic
events at the Coast and even TO-DAY
holds a worlds record, a record which
has stood for great number of years
and which is likely to remain intact
indefinitely.
He is the only man in the world who
ever beat a man on foot in a six-day
go-as-you-please race, riding on horse
back.
The race took place in Mechanics Pa
viliOn, San francisco, and was enter
ed by men and horses from all over the
world, the objects being to cover the
most distance in six-days.
In previous races the man on foot
had always won and on the occasion
of the race in question big odds were
offered against Levy. He was backed
to win S25, 900 and managed to pull the
big coup off for his friends, though he
himself got little or nothing out of it.
Levy made 500 IA miles in the six
days and was so far ahead of his near
est competitor thirteen hours from the
finish that he was instructed to stop
and finished the race at a walk.
After the race white Hat" Nc

Carly drew a gun and threatened to
shoot Levy over some difference about
a wager. Someone rushed in and grab
bed the gun just in the nick of time.
Among famous horses which took
part in the race was Controller, which
had trotted twenty miles in an hour.
Ever since then the man has beaten
the horse in a similar race
Levy was recognized after the race as
the champion long distance rider of the
world and issued challenge which
was never taken up.
Bob was a great jumper in his young
: days and also figured successfully in a
: number of long-distance pedestrian
contests.
{ He made a record of 81 feet 6 inches
I for three standing jumps without
e weights.
Tommy Patterson, now in Honolulu,
e helped Levy to train the horse he rode
e in the race at Mechanics Pavilion. He
. was a great rider, his favorite propo-
< sition being to ride twenty miles on
. horseback while man was covering
e half that distance on foot

Shoots Another Lion.

Theodore Roosevelt bagged one
more lions at Wami, near Kapiti. This
gives him total of four lions on the
present expedition. Kermit Roosevelt
succeeded in bringing down a cheetah.
The hunting was exciting, and both
marksmen did excellent work.
Kermit, during the greater part of
the day, did more effective work with
his camera than he did with his gun,
he and the other members of the
party allowing Mr.. Roosevelt the
much-prized shots.
Ii is rumored In native sources, but
the report lacks confirmation, that the
Roosevelt party will arrive at Nairobi
May Is, before proceeding to Sotik.
The lion killed by Roosevelt was
brought down at close range. His
quick work with the rifle saved the
lives of some of his mounted escort,
who had narrow escapes from the in
furiated beast. The accuracy of
Roosevelts craftsmanship is a matter
of establishment.
