MARATHON RULES
ARE CABLED FOR

With thirty-two entries for the big
Marathon race, the success of the event
is now assured. The latest thing to
come un is the matter of rules. There
are several contestants who think that
no rubbing down should be allowed and
that each man should be restricted to
the lowest limit possible of kokua.
This matter has been taken up by
the management and a set of rules
has been cabled for to the Coast. This
race viii be run on exactly the same
lines as the Marathon races in New
York and San Francisco, and each rule
will be strictly enforced.
Nobody seems to know just what the
rules are in the matter of being rubbed
down, but, so far as can be judged by
the reports of the eastern papers there
was nothing of this sort in the big races
between the champions, such as Long
boat, Shrubb and Dorando.
A man who takes a rundown is GER
tainly losing time while he is getting
it, but it has been pointed out by one
or two Of the contestants that this puts
too much on the ability and shrewdness

who lacks the proper backing might be
outdone by a less capable runner who
has several expert rubbers to grab him
from the track, refresh him with hard
massage, and then set him on his feet
again. One contestant states that on
the mainland the runners are not per-
mitted to leave the track and that if
they do they are disqualified.
Jackson states that he is scared of just
two men. One is Scharsch and the other
is Connie Hayes. H'That fellow
Hayes says Jackson, els slayer,
what I mean, and can certainly hang
on when it comes to reeling off the
laps. AS to Scharseh, you know how
he made the pace during the first part
Of the last race. When I get ahead

DANCE TO OPEN
CANOE SEASON

The members of the Outrigger Club
are getting ready for very prosperous
season. The ladies' annex building is
completed and the graunds have been
cleared up generally.
"A proposal is ON foot to have the
opening of the season celebrated by a
grand ball with Examinations on the
lagoon during the dancing. Another
very excellent suggestion is with regard
to the grounds. 1t has been proposed
that the club have an "Arbor" day
and that all the members get together
and plant trees and plants on the
grounds, the which would add very
greatly to the attractive and pictur7
esaue look of them.
The Outrigger Club is undoubtedly
one local organization that should GER
tainly not be allowed to languish. A
live coterie of sportsmen is now in
charge of the club, and there seems to
be every outlook for a fine season this
year. The ladies' annex is the finish
ing touch to make the club the attrac-
tive social and athletic institution it
now is and should remain.

JAP TARS AT BOYS
FIELD AGAIN

There was a repetition of the big do
ings for the japanese sailors at the
boys field yesterday afternoon. All
those sailors who were unable to be
present on Monday were entertained,
and they had just as good time as
their shipmates did the day before.
The geisha girls were again a center
of attraction, and the smiling iuggler
with his clever manipulation of gaily-
colored balls was again big hit He
introduced new stunt yesterday af
ternoon that made some of the specta-
tors open their mouths and wonder
First filing his mouth with peas, he
took four cane-cutting knives and kept
them going IN the air. Occasionally he
would spit a pea from his mouth and
hit it squarely with one of the cane
knives, sending the pea clear out into
the middle of the audience.
The fencing was continued and at
tracted an even greater crowd than on
Monday The agility and speed of the
little athletes was even more pro-
nounced, and the line of talk they
handed to each other was, If possible,
more strenuous than the day before.
The kindly assistants in the refresh
ment booths had no sinecure, and the
good things to eat disappeared so rapid
~ that one began to wonder just where
it all went.
The little brown sailors had the time
of their nves, and the much larger
number of Americans present than the
day before was evidence of the friend
ly feeling that exists everywhere in
town toward our great little visitors.

A benefit concert and stereopticon
views win be given at Cooley Chapel,
Kaljhi, this evening at 1880 o'clock,
under the auspices Of the Kalihi Ath-
letic Club. There will be several in
teresting numbers on the program, con-
sisting of both instrumental and vocal
selections by well-known artists in
town. Edwin Fernandez, president of
the club, will exhibit some rare films
on the screen, and, with the assistance
of Mr. Ed. Towse, who has SO kindly
offered his services, a crowded house
will no doubt be the order of the even
ing. as the admission is only two-bits.
Several well-known quartets of the
city have promised to take part in the
entertainment. This is only the be-
ginning of a series of entertainments
planned by this club, and in the near
future these concerts will be regularly
given. more especially for the benefit
of the residents of that section of the
town.

MIR. BoNINE's PROTEST.

Editor Advertiser: In regard to the
recent discriminating "show bill =
which seems to have been raliroaded
through the House of Representatives
on a very narrowgauge track, l feel
called upon to express publicly my
utter disapproval, and feel that / am
but voicing the sentiment of the better
people throughout the Islands in con-
demning that which purports plainly to
be one of class and race distinction,
as no such measure could possibly have
been considered by an intelligent as
sembly anywhere else in the United
States.
The specifications designating just
how Legitimate or a moving pic
ture theater should be designed, or
what they should contain, only puts a
limit to all progress and future inge-
nuity, and is quite as obnoxious as
the present license measure which de-
mands "fne' of $1,000 per year for
an innocent and instructive entertain
ment which has delighted and famil-
iarized people of all ages with scenes
of places and events from all parts of
the world.
just why it should interest patron
of the house whether the big beer ad-
vertisement on the drop-curtain was
painted from "paint- bridge" instead
of a step-ladder or some other kind
of an elevation, or if the proscenium
be arched or square, or if the chairs
fold, I fail to see as plainly as L can
discern the ark-compiected gentleman
in the woodpile, out of step and in
capable of marching to modern music.
The modifying excuse which accom-
panies the present measure, that
some of the moving picture theaters
are willing to pay, even $1,000 per
year, in order to keep out competi-
tion,' is ridicuously silly, and but
smatters of bribery and dirty money
This bill is not only intended to af-
feet the moving picture theater, but is
direct slap at all the little Oriental

MID-PACIFICS
LEAD LEAGUE

LAHAINA, April "a lively game
of baseball was played on the Kilohana
Park between the Mid-Pacifics and the
crack David Malos last Saturday, the
former winning from their opponents by
the large score of % to IL. The game
was interesting from the beginning,
with plenty of excitement. The Middies
played an uphill game right through,
and several fine plays were made by
the winning team.
Pitcher WaiIau of the Middies pitch
ed a very good game, with nine strike
outs to his credit The features of the
day were the home runs made by
Smith, Kamaka and Chas. Mokeau for
the winners. This was the second game
in which the Mid-Pacifcs defeated the
poor David Malos.

space in your valuable columns to call
the attention of the authorities to a

There are also other similar spots in

is no sidewalk at all.
If there is no law governing the con-
struction of sidewalks to a certain ex-

there should be. One of the foremost
things in identifying city is having
decent streets and sidewalks. Thank

Don't Dare Marry That Girl!

Judge Foster of the court of general sessions
New York, seems to be the last of the spotlight
judges who look upon themselves as only a little
lower than the angels-if any.
He entered order the other day under
which Albert b. johnson must go to jail if he
marries.
johnson is said to have been several times
arrested for larceny, and was out on suspension
Of sentence. He had done something that yio-
lated his parole, and when he was brought before
the judge for it. a girl who claimed to be his
fiancee interceded for him. And then Judge
sA.- II HAVE NO INTENTION OF PERMIT
TING MARRIAGE THAT WILL BREED
MORE CRIMINALS. WILL SUSPEND SEN
BUT IF HEAR OF YOUR MARRIAGE WITH
OUT FIRST OBTAINING MY CONSENT
WILL SEND YOU TO JAIL FOR LONG
TERM"
How does Judge Foster know that this
young mans marriage would tend to breed
criminals? Does he not know that there are
very few OF whose ancestors have not been
thieves-H any? Does he not know that we are
descended from savages among whom stealing
was UNIVERSAL and that II thieves had not been
allowed to breed he would himself never have
seen the light? Does he not know that among
the ancient Spartans stealing q much
esteemed art, and that among the Spartan
virtues" that of the boy who let the stolen fox
eat out his vitals rather than be caught ranks
highest?
What does Judge Foster know about the
laws OF heredity. anyhow? Can he point out
any such thing as hereditary larceny?
This young man was evidently considered
by Judge Foster safe person to be at large.
II he was to be trusted far, what right has
Judge to make of him only half a man by
refusing him wife, home and family?
Does not this Judge know that the man denied
these things is more likely than any other to
become a criminal, to relapse into wrong
doing? Does he not know that many a man has
done wrong in his youth and been saved by a
good wife from repetition of the offense? And
how many men have seen the image of their
children rise up before their eyes like angels
to restrain from crime!
And why does this judge think that the
refusal to criminals of the right to marry will
prevent the breeding of criminals? A vast ma
1ority OF our criminals are the offspring of law
abiding citizens. Criminologists say that most
criminals are normal people who have gone
wrong through environment. And among the
things IN our environment that make men go
wrong Is the poverty that prevents them from
marrying.
