Of OAHU's CAPITAL
STOCK IS DENIED

There was persistent rumor about
the street yesterday that the Oahu
Sugar Company is planning to increase
its capital stock to four million dol
lars, and also to declare very nice
extra dividend.
The truth of this rumor, however,
is denied by F. Klamp of II. Haekfeld
& Co., agents for the Oahu Sugar Com
pany.
Il have heard this rumor several
times today said Mr.. Klamp, ''but
don t know where it originated.
There is no truth in it whatever, nor
is there any truth in the rumor of an
extra dividend The story was prob
ably started by some of the stock
holders who hoped it might prove to
be true. But there is absolutely moth
ing in it. -

FOOTHILL WOMEN'S CLUB
PREPARING FOR SEASON
Speakers and Lecturers Already En-
gaeed-study of Drama Will Be
Taken Up-Mrs. Loa v.
Chaplin Engaged

MONROVIA, Sept. IL. - Notwlth-
standing the fact that the Saturday
Afternoon club of Monrovia enjoyed
a most successful season last year, the
plans which are now being formulated
by the members for the approaching
season point to an even brighter out
look.
At a recent meeting OF the executive
committee, held at the residence of
Mrs. Charles F. Slosson, a general out
line of work for the coming year was
taken up. The program will be ar
ranged with dates but three months in
advance and already several we'll
known singers and lecturers have been
engaged. Prominent among those who
will contribute toward the program are
Mrs. Lou V. Chaplin of Los Angeles,
who will speak on current topics, and
Mrs. r. Bandini of Pasadena, who will
deliver what promises to be an inter-
esting series of lectures on the early
Spanish history of California.
The club will branch out in many
ways this year and study of the
modern drama will probobly be under
taken. Prof. C. M. Nichols of Mon
rovia will deliver an address in Oc-
tober on IAN Appreciation of the
Drama" and it is more than likely
that other lectures on this subject will
be heard.

NATIONAL SHOOT
AT BISHOP RANGE
LOCAL CLUB SHARPSHOOTERS
COMPETE
Los Angeles Revolver Club Members
Make Good Scores in Big Con-
tests-Records Turned in
to New York

The outdoor revolver and pistol
championship matches of the United
States Revolver association were held
in all the large cities throughout tho
United States during the past week.
The contests began Saturday, Septem-
ber 4, and ended yesterday evening.
The local contests of the association
took place on the Bishop street police
range, under the auspices of the Los
Angeles Revolver club, the contestants
shooting their scores Saturday and con-
tinuing until sundown yesterday. The
matches that were held here were the
"any-revolver" and "any-pistol' COM
petitions, known as matches A and B.
The match A contest includes any re-
volver within the rules, while the
match B contest includes any pistol
within the association rules. Either
hand-loaded or factory ammunition
can be used in either of these contests.
I. c. Douglas was the first local con-
testant to shoot his scores. He entered
the match A contest Saturday after
noon between 3 and o'clock. Douglas
was somewhat nervous and could not
settle down and hold as he usually
does. His highest score was SO, the
first score of the five. A. B. Douglas,
H. D. Thaxter, ]. E. Holcomb and DR..
L. M. Packard all shot their scores
yesterday. and I. c. Douglas also shot
the match B scores yesterday after
noon.
In the match A contest A. B. Douglas
was high man of the local marksmep.
He made the excellent score of 438 out
of a possible 500 winning an honor
medal. The association gives any con-
testant medal who makes a score of
425 or better in the match A contest,
and also a medal to any marksman
who makes a score of 435 in match B.
Young Douglas will no doubt rank
high in the state championship.
1t will be several weeks before the
results will be known, as all targets,
score cards, etc, are sent to New
York for verification, after which the
scores and rank of each contestant is
published.
Each marksman who enters the
match A or B contest must finish his
score of fifty shots within one hour
after firing the first shot.
Following are the scores of the local
marksmen:
