BEGINNING Of
LEAGUE GAMES

The opening games of the military
baseball league, to be played at the
baseball park next Sunday afternoon, I,
will form a distinct sporting event OF
the month. Moreover, it will wear
social frills of interest, as special in
vitations have been issued to military
officers and tneir wives, as well as Ha-
waiian government officials and their
better halves, to be the guests of the
league on the occasion. That many
will accept is certain.
These being the first games OF the
series, every effort is being made to
bring around an suspicious getaway.
For instance, the Hawaiian band will
play, the regular Sunday concert be-
ing called off for the purpose. Anoth-
er feature will be that Colonel Schuyler
of the Fifth Cavalry, will throw the
first ball over the plate, thus giving
an official flavor to the character Of
the send Or.
The first game Sunday afternoon
will begin at 1870 o'clock and will be
between the Fifth Cavalry and Twen-
tieth Infantry. The second game be-
ginning at $3.50 will be between the
National Guard of Hawaii and the U.
S. Marines.
Edwin Fernandez has been selected
to umpire both of the games The Of
fetal scorer will be w. Tin Chong.
An important meeting of the officers
and representatives of the Kalanianaole
League will be held at the office Of
Senator Charles Chillingworth at
o'clock tomorrow "wednesday even
ing for the purpose of arranging for
the postponement of the Aala park
games schedufed or next Sunday after
noon, in order that all may attend the
grand military opening.

hall will probably not be ready by that
time. The new date will be announced
later in the present week.
In the service league there will be
two games of baseball at the ball park
next Saturday afternoon. The first
will be U. S. Infantry VS.. U. S. Cavalry
and the second U. S. Marines VS.. N. G.
II. Both games should be well worth
seeing. The National Guard team is
in fair shape, but will meet a hard
proposition in the Marine nine. The
regular infantry and cavalry teams are
not so well known in town, but they
are said to be goers of the first class.
The lineup of the Marine barracks
crack baseball team is as follows:

SECOND GUN
CLUB SHOOT

The second weekly handicap shoot
of the Hawaiian Gun Club, best two
in three for Il cup, will take place at
the Kakaako range at o'clock to-
morrow afternoon.
In the first shoot last week the re-
suit was remarkable in that three
men tied for first place. In the shoot
off between E. l. Spalding, Walter E.
Wall and j. w: Harvey the latter
won. This shoot was interesting in
that it showed how close together the
marksmen are running.
All persons Interested in the sport
are invited to attend the shoot tomor-
row afternoon.

RICE FIELDS
At THE FAIR

D. Howard Hitchcock is complet-
ing an immense painting of a Palama
rice field for use in the Hawaiian eX-
hibit at the Yukon Exposition in Sc
attic. 1t is IL by 16 feet in size and
is designed to form a striking back
ground for the rice display. 1t is a
faithful portrayal of the Palama rice
fields as they are to be seen from
seward, with the Nuuanu gap at the
back. Mr.. Hitchcock has done some
of his best rough work on the paint
ing and is proud of it.
The exhibit Tor the great fair is
now being packed and will go forward

lions the transports are available only
to army and navy officers, civilian en-
ployes of the government travelling on
duty and their dependent relatives
As a matter of fact the connection
with the army and navy of many pas
sengers is very remote, and it is no
uncommon thing to read on a transport
passenger list the name of some well

ton, Dependent relative of Lieutenant

COASTWISE laws TO.
BE MORE ENFORCED

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-The
refusal Of the treasury department TO
remit tile fine of 5000 imposed upon
Mrs. E. J. Lord of Honolulu meets with
unqualified approval in the shipping
world. Mrs Lord booked passage on
the liner Alameda, from Honolulu to
this port. The Japanese liner Chiyo
Maru left Honolulu the same day as
the Alameda. The Chiyo was a new
ship with a reputation for great speed.
Somebody in Honolulu-Collector or
the Port Stackable, Mrs. Lord said
suggested that the fine of 5000, provd-
ed to protect American ships from for
eign competition between American
ports, was a mere matter of form, and
that if she wished to travel on the Chi
20 the 5000 fine would be RENTED upon
application at this end.
In the past this has been true, but
the leniency of the department has
been abused Where the vioator Of
the law has had a fairly tenable eX-
cuse the American ship owners have
been silent, but when Mrs. Lord DELHI
erately and without any reason beyond
her own fancy knocked a shingle of

all small prizes. The several prizes
of $40 and IS each in the late Marathon
had the effect of attracting into the
race number of men who had no
other reason for entering than the
possibility of overhauling a small
stake. The entry list was overloaded
with draft horses, while the interest OF
the public was centered inland con-
fined to the speedy members. BY get
ting together a bunch of sprinters able
to sight a good limit, at least interest
would be greatly increased and even
greater satisfaction would be given.
That is the way Scully looks at it.
Then, there is the matter of the
speed prizes as he would have them
BY cutting out the small rewards II
would be easily possible to increase
the top prizes. For instance, he would
increase the first prize from 500 tt
$3.50. That would justify runner glv
ing overtime to training and effort
The second prize he would increase
from $50 to S125, and the third from
$25 to, say, SIS. These sums would
be large enough to bring out all there
is in the best runners, and leave The
ham footers in the bleachers where
they belong In furtherance Of the
idea, Mr.. Scully would set a time limi'
for each class On Sunday, without
such a time limit, there was della,

All of yesterday and last night the
topic of conversation among the sport
ing fans has been another great Mara
thon While there is little or not dis
satisfaction with Sundays results, each
combination and each enthusiast has
figured out a way by which some res
pective favorite may win. And this
talk is not confined to the rabble, al
though the grandstand pullers have
had much to do with setting it going
Jack Scully, who must be credited with
driving the last go to its splendid con-
clusion, is being besieged by lovers of
the sport to "do it again And, mark
you, he will yield. He has not told
anyone that he would even consider
the matter but the pressure is becom-
| ing so great that he has already been
found to don his thinking cap and
start figuring.
Scully made no money on the last
Marathon. He hardly expected to. He
! broke even, and is satisfied. Con-
sidering that it was the first Marathon
carrying an entrance fee the results
were not discouraging. 1t is, rea-
sonably figured, too, that the immense
boost given the sport by Sundays sue
cess spells larger receipts next time
Then, experience has shown how eX-
penses may be curtailed without injury
to the program.
Mr. Scully states, however, and in a
most positive manner, that if he does
promote another race it will be on
lines different from the last. For in
stance he would sweep out absolutely

to Manila on an army transport is
about $l5. The fare on a merchant
liner is 1925. The difference between
these amounts is the reason for the

with thrifty travellers and the reason

POLAR HEROES

TN a fair review of the polar con-
troversy the London Daily Tele-
graph says: "Laurels belong on
the brows of both of the intrepid
Americans, Cook and Peary. They
worked Independently of each other and
were ignorant of each others where
abouts. Both deserve success. DR..
Cook has been warmly received, and so
will Peary. History tells of many
similar condolences. Witness Charles
Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace,
and the theory of the survival of the
nttest. Both published the hypothesis
nearly at the same moment. The
reformation was the work of at least
three men-Luther, Melancthom and
Uranus. The great discovery that the
sun does not travel around the earth.
but the earth around the sun, is as
sociated with the names of Copernicus
and Calico. The discovery of America
was not due to Columbus alone, but to
number of hardy sailors who bat
tied ceaselessly with the Atlantic"
And we don't need to go to ancient
history for condolences. Human
thought has habit of travelling along
similar lines in far separated parts of
the world. For the locomotive engine,
for airships and for wireless telegraphy
coincidental inventions were claimed,
and most undoubtedly there were CO.
incidental inventions in every instance.
And what does it matter which
American explorer was first at the
pole? Won't it be all the same a hun
dred years hence?
Posterity will give credit both to
Cook and Peary, and this laudable
example might well be anticipated by
the people of today. German edi-
tor says he thinks the public will side
with Peary! We hope the public won't
be so foolish. We prefer to believe the
public will unite with Cook in con-
graduating and thanking Peary, and
unite with Peary in congratulating and
thanking Cook.

RATES TO HARBOR

T P. GREGsON. traffic manager of
III the Associated Jobbers of Los
-" Angeles, is attempting to per-
suade railroads to lower rates between
Los Angeles and San Pedro before any
attempt is made to handle freight from
San Pedro by wagon or motor truck.
And A. S. Cheseborough of Bates &
Cheseborough, agents for the great
Clipper line Of sailing vessels plying
between New York, Philadelphia and
Pacific coast points. and owned by
5ewall & Co. of Bath, Me-, told the
transportation committee Of the cham
Der of commerce:
"The advantages which you people
have gained in securing a port at San
Pedro are of little value to you until
you can get rate from the shipside
or tidewater, which will enable you to
take advantage of low water rates on
your merchandise"
Mr.. Cheseborough says the rates Of
his line to San Pedro will be just the
same as they are to San Francisco, but
he adds: "Of course, at that point
they have only a small charge as
against your high rate Of 50 a ton
from San Pedro to your homes.
''If you will take care of the charges
from one end of your long, narrow city
TO the other, I will get freight to your
city at rates which will make all Of
you money on such stuffs as you can
handle, but I cannot take care of the
charges from the tidewater to your
business district. We are meeting with
much success in the northern part of
the state and expect to do the same
here sooner or later. We have the
means Of transporting large quantities
of low grade freight at low rates, and
this always has a good effect on reduc-
ing all freight rates"
1t is certain the freight rate problem
within the boundaries Of Greater Los
Angeles will get a square deal. To
have brought about consolidation
without prospect of a satisfactory set
tlement of the rates question would
have been to have left a great UNDER
taking incomplete. The question will
be settled.

A NUISANCE

TT is to be hoped, now that public
opinion on the subject has been
II expressed in such a way the coun-
ell cannot misunderstood it, the city
legislators will proceed to carry out
the wishes of the public by adopting
an ordinance forbidding smoking on
street cars where the practice is likely
to be annoying and perhaps even
harmful to nom smokers. We think it
is right the council should recognize
the force of public opinion in this mat
ter and should see it is within the
councils jurisdiction to regulate smok-
ing in public places or on public con-
veyances where smoking may become
in every sense of the word a nuisance.
The policy of procrastination is one
that settles nothing, and since smok-
ing on ears and in public places has
become a question demanding settle
ment we think the council will find 1t
will best serve the public by recogniz-
ing the public demand for a restriction
of the smoking nuisance and will adopt
an ordinance by which smoking will be
forbidden in places in which the prac-
tice annoys, Injuries or trespasses upon

ADMISSION DAY

II ROGRESS and prosperity unpar-
alleled in the history of the states
4 of the Union are celebrated in the
celebration of the forty-ninth anniver-
sary of the admission of California 10
the sisterhood of states.
California was admitted to the Union
upon the express condition that the
people, through their legislature, shall
never interfere with the primary dis
posal of the public lands within its
limits, and shall pass no law and do
no act whereby the title of the United
States to, and right to dispose Of the
same, shall be questioned: and that
they shall never lay any tax or assess
ment of any description whatsoever
upon the public domain of the United
States: and in no case shall non-resi-
dent proprietors who are citizens Of
the United States be taxed higher
than residents and that all navigable
waters within the state shall be COM
mon highways and forever free, as
we'll to the inhabitants of said state as
to the citizens of the United States
without any tax, impost or duty thers-
for: provided, that nothing herein con-
tanned shall be construed as recogniz-
ing or rejecting the propositions ten
dered by the people of California as
articles of compact in the ordinance
adopted by the convention which
formed the constitution of the state"
California has an unbroken record of
-
has ever been that of the Union. AL
though in the days before the railroad
it was SO far remote from the seat of
government it could easily have de-
clared independence and become the
nucleus of western republic, it re-
solved instead to pledge allegiance to
the flag and to the republic for which
it stands one nation, indlvisible, with
liberty and justice for ALL"
The Importance of California's rela-
tionship to the Union is being recOg-
nized. The people of the east are aware
of the fact that the western shore is no
less important than the eastern shore
and it's safety is of equal moment.
Railroads and seaports combine to
bring California into the Union in
literal and practical sense. It's busi-
ness interests are growing immensely,
prodigiously. amazingly. Never was
such growth recorded in the history Of
mankind.
And Southern California is coming
into it's own. It's commercial capital,
Los Angeles is now A seaport citv and
is taking the leadership in industrial
activity. In literature, art and educa-
tion, it is the unrivaled queen of the
west, and with the development of it's
great harbor, San Pedro, it's supremacy
in other departments of human activity
will not long be challenged success
fully.

CONVINCED THAT WOMAN is
NOT HER OWN WORST ENEMY

OCEAN PARK, Aug. 31.-[Editor
Herald] Will Modern Young Mother
please pat her shoulder for me very COR
daily and enthusiastically because of
her remarks relative to certain bitter
personal attacks on Mary Magdalene?"
She has given added confirmation to
my firm conviction that the adage, "A
woman is woman's worst enemy" is
untrue. While some women see fit to
indulge in absurd and vindictive con-
demnation of other women vastly more
women agree with Modern Young
Mother" even though they may not
take occasion to say so.
There is nothing in the letters of
MARY Magdalene" to indicate she is
other than a good woman. To her
poignant sorrow she has encountered a
pitfall, and with rare conscientiousness
she would warn others who might walk
that way, undeterred because to do so
is not merely to suffer humiliation but
to become the target for cruel abuse as
pitfall may journey serenely through
the world, needing not and so unheed-
ing IN. MS" warning call. 1t is not for
their ears, but why condemn? Whether
through fault or misfortune one woman
bears, by her own admission, Jagged
scars and a lifelong burden of regret
How can people who for very kindll-
ness OF heart would carefully avoid in
flicting pain on even the lowliest of
animals, add one atom to that burden,
or fail to see that their railing accusa-
tions are evidence that they are view
ing people and things through warping
and distorted lenses?

BELIEVES PRISONS SHOULD
REFORM, NOT PUNISH MEN

GLENDALE, Sept. 2.-[Editor Her
add: Being a reader of your valuable
paper for some time, notice letter of
Economist in Letter Box regarding
the recent prison congress held in Sc
attic and the views expressed by some
of the delegates there.
That the criminal is sent to the peni-
tentiary to be punished and that he
should be kept under discipline while
there, either chained or tortured, so he
is disciplined. We see in this statement
that the old idea of revenge Ga relic of
the dark ages) is still dominant; that
crime against criminals will still go on
till the truth is accepted that crime is
a disease and should be treated as such
by turning our prisons into reforma-
tories, where the latent good inherited
by every human being may be fostered
and nourished, and the poor unfortun-
ate helped to rise up into the sunlight
of right thinking and right living.
Could we but lift the veil to the Grim
