OF the eight battle captains

Ia Bay May ], 1908. four arsbut
memories in the hearts of the
american people, for with the
death December 5, of "Hock der
Kaiser" Cog6lan, the fourth Of
this little galaxy of naval stars
was piped to quarters. Not even
one Of the surviving captains is
IN active service today, for all,
with the ranks of rear admirals,
have been retired, and are living
m different parts os the country.
One, now Rear Admiral Lam
Berton, makes his home in Wash
5ngton.
Once a year the Dewey cap
sains gather at dinner, when the
old battle is refought and the old
memories retold But a few
months ago, on the anniversary
of that May mornings BATTLE
i've ofthem dined together. Now,
before the year has passed, Adj
miral Coghlan has gone, andnext
May but four of the grizzled sea
dogs will join hands and hearts
over the board.
Then what of the men who
who by death of Rear Admiral
Joseph B. Coghlan have been
brought again into the public
eye? The eight captains who
answered along the line the sig
nails which to Capt. Gridley read:
eFire when you are ready" and
hurled their ships through the
network of mines which lined
the harbor and against the belch-
ing Of. the guns of Cavite wrote
hitherto untouched page in the
history, of naval warfare. The
aggregate tonnage of the Dewey
squadron, some 19,O61 tons, was
less than the single tonnage of
that ship, the first of the new
type of American Dreadnought
launched recently, the North Da-
kota.
Gapts. Gridley, coghlan, Wild
aud Wood are dead, and those
who still live prove no less the
quality of the stuff of which the
battle captains were made, and
their little alcove in the hall of
naval history is unique and I'M
like all other.
Capt. Gridley presents the
characteristic example of the
sterner stuff of which these men
were made. When the Spanish
squadron was sighted that morn
ing and the orders to ego ahead"
were given Capt. Gridley was Ill
in his stateroom. The admiral
had selected the Olympia, Grid
ley's ship, as the flagship, and
the captain unfinchingly ascend
ed to his post of duty, still rack
ed by the pains and agues Of
Asiatic fever. The order came
to fire, and Gridley stuck to his
post, fighting his ship with ad-
mirable clear-headedness until
the white flag appeared on the
Spanish forts and naught else re-
manned of the Spanish squadron
but the masts and towers pro-
truding above the blue of the

once upon time a man happened TO
be staying in a hotel room which had
originally been part Of a suite, but
which was tnen cut off from the 9th

which sounds carried clearly.
1t was about eleven o'clock when the
occupants of that next room came
home. The man heard the door oDcn

the shares were worth nearly $500

pool died, and what do you think he
did? Split up his shares and willed
them to all sorts OF persons. He left
two to an old woman out on Long Is-
land who had some claim or other on
him, and that's where the story comes
in. This old woman doesn't know q
share of stock from royal flush. but
she realized that it was worth some
thing, and seeing my name on the
certificate she wrote to me saying it
seemed to be worth 500, and asking
If I'd pay that much for it. What do
you think of that? Two shares for

DOLE
CONFIRMED

Hon. Sanford B, Dole received a
cablegram from Washington the other
day saying, Confirmation appoint
ment mailed. This means that the
Senate, probably on Monday last, had
confirmed his appointment for an ad-
ditional term of six years as First
Judge of the United States District
Court for the District of Hawaii. Since
his first term expired a month or two
ago Judge Dole has served under a re-
cess commission from President Taft.
His new term dates from the day of his
regular commission.

WOODRUFF OFFENDED
WASHINGTON BY HIS
SUDDEN RESIGNATION

Judge Woodruff did not please the
Washington people in any manner but
very much the contrary, by his abrupt
surrender of Office before he had more
than warmed the seat. Disapproval
OF his action in resigning the second
judgship of the Federal court here
does not appear indeed to have re-
lated so much to the loss of his
services by the Department of Justice
as to the matter of principle involved
in throwing up the important position
SO soon after accepting it and so
suddenly as to interfere seriously with
the business of the court

THINKS
THERE IS
BLACKLIST

1t was made to appear, in Judge
, De Bolts court this morning, that
the Japanese have a black list of
jurors, men whom they do not want
to sit on the trial of such of them
as may be in trouble with the laws.
There were only fourteen jurors to
draw twelve from, for the trial of
Kaeo, charged with assault with
deadly weapon, when the case was
called. G. H. Mcbride, attorney for
defendant, challenged three and then
there were but eleven. F. w. Milver
ton, city and county attorney had
waived challenges on his turn. A
special venire for six talesmen re-
turDable forthwith was issued.
Kato's deadly weapon, according
to the Indictment, was a knife, with
which he is alleged to have cut, stab
bed and wounded one Harry Fuku-
shima. 1t is hideous looking knife
too, shared like one leg of a pair of
sheep shears.
When it came to his third challenge
Mcbride asked if there was a juror
named Bolster on the panel. A. d.
Bolster, painter, having been called
in place Of the latest one till then
challenged was identified and Nc
Bride promptly excused him AS the
of hoA 81
passed Bolster for cause, his need to
have the juror identified later show
ed that personally he knew nothing
about him. The incident therefore in.
dicated the existence of black list
of jurors. At least that is the way
the juror interpreted it.
Bolster outside expressed himself
as feeling very sore at having been
Spotted" in advance and then chal-
lenged entirely on his name by an
attorney who had to have him point
ed out before excusing him.
When three talesmen had beer
brought in, the jury was completed
as follows: Geo. H. Greene, San
Kamakau, w. L. Austin, John A
Bootfeli, John X. Clarke, Rurolpt
Muller, Thos. c. Mcclure, Hiram Ko
lomoku, W. X. Isaac, w. E. Tirrell B
R. Campbell and George Karratti..
Mr.. Mcbride made a fight, on th'
opening of the case, to have Harry
T. Lake, the detective attached tC
the city and county attorneys office
excluded with the witnesses from thu
courtroom. His motion to that effec
was overruled Mr.. Milverton ha
stated that Lake was not going to b.
called as a witness unless develoI
ments made it necessary, and strone
ly protested against Mr.. Mcbride
assertion that the prosecution woul
have to call Lake to prove the hnc
ing of the weapon.

prised of Judge Woodruff's resignation.

done. He did not consider it was

RAPID TRANSIT TO
BUILD new CAR BARN

The Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land
Company has decided to build a new
car barn somewhere near the present
one, and to be about the same size and
capacity as the latter. This improve
ment has been made necessary by the
proposed double tracking of King
street and additions to the service in
various parts of the city. Under the
new plans at least twelve and probably
more new cars will be required, and

Just where the new barn will be To-

land between the present barn and
Beretania street belongs to the oom-
pany but it is desired to reserve this
for the club house and other conve-
niences of employees. The land OPP

 The indictment comes as no surprise in this city for since the recent appearance of Mrs. Dun can at RiSon where she went when the grand jury was empan- e,ed and aske1 to be permitted to go before that body, it has been the impression here that an indictment against Day would result. Attorney T Havis Nixon of this city who prosecuted Day at the preliminary hearing given him immediately after the killing of Duncan before Magistrate Roe buck at Rison also visited C.eve- land county soon ~after the grand jurors were instructed
