PETERSON IS
STILL WILLING

Peterson is very anxious to have an
other try at the Hawaiian Islands
champion and also to
make good before the public of Homo
lulu. Day before yesterday he received
a letter from the Coast stating that his
little girl was i'll with typhoid fever and
his wife begged him to return.
To show that he was willing to come
back and meet Sullivan, Peterson de
posted forfeit of fifty dollars with
Mr. Cohen. He states that the forfeit
is minor matter but that he is very
anxious to meet Sullivan again and
show that he can defeat the local cham.
pion.
The San Francisco boy was anxious
to have the bout brought off before he
left for the Coast but, as the Reilly
Smith go was already arranged, Joe
Cohen could not see his way for this.
Peterson viii, therefore, leave for the
Coast on the next steamer and return
as nearly as possible within month,
to claim his forfeit. and show what he
can do with Sullivan under the latter 9
advantage in the rules.

MOTORCYCLE
MEET PROPOSED

It is very probable that there will
be motorcycle meet at kapiolani
park on Washington $ birthday after
the Floral Parade Several local en-
thusiasts are agitating the event ana
the Rapid Transit company has gone
SO far as to offer to fix up the track,
if it is arranged.
The chief attraction will be five
mile challenge race between two In
dams and Reading standard. The
last named has a six horsepower engine
while the other two are of two and
half horse power only. In race hell
on Thanksgiving day Berger on one
of the Indians beat the Reading Stan
dard. This time he will ride the latter
machine and expects to prove that the
riding had much to do with the victory
Herrick and Sang, two well known
local riders, win be in this race as We'll
as in other events. There will be a
five mile free-for-a1l and the usual
speeding events including attempts to
lower local records for various DIS
tances from two up to ten miles.

GLASGOW SPORT
WRITER A MUTT

The following absurdity is typical
result of the average press agent $
brainstorm. The sporting editor of the
Glasgow Evening Times may be a can
ny Scot but he is surely typical of his
home town, or the town he works in,
for he wields hammer of goodly pro.
portions. He doubtless thought it very
funny to pass over d knock on Homo.

This same sporting man doubtless
thinks of Honolulu as peopled by half
naked savages and he would be the
most surprised man in the world if he
were told that Honolulu has as fast
and good soccer league as any aggre.
cation of amateurs, in Glasgow. He is
one of the kind, evidently, who does
not even know that Rugby is being
played on the Pacific coast. He would
say you lied if you told him about Ho

vice that is not confined to Glasgow nor
any one city in the world.

PRAYER IN HOUSE
TRIBUTE TO HALE

\ touching tribute was paid 10 the
memory OF Dr, Edward Everett Hale.
chaplain OF the Senate. by the Rev. Mr.
Couden in his prayer In the House to-
day.
Mr. Couden said: Our hearts are
touched profoundly by the news OF
the death Of the Rev. Edward Everett
Hale. chaplain of the United States
Senate. who for so Ions has been a
conspicuous figure in the affairs of
our nation, contributing in his ser
mons, In his writings, in his prayers,
i'm his life to the uplift of mankind
God grant to be with lite aged wife
and the children that hey NAV be
comforted in the thought of all he
has contributed and left to US. and
Thine be the praise forever, Amen"

no dissent. Every one recognized the
eminent fitness Of DR.. Hale for the
place and gave unanimous approval to
his selection. The resolution for his Sc
lection as chaplain was offered by the
late Senator Allison of Iowa, who was
himself a great friend of DR.. Hale.
Despite the fact that DR.. Hale was
eighty-one years of age when he was
chosen chaplain. he was regular in his
discharge of his duties as chaplain. He
was always IN the Senate chamber when
the hour of noon arrived and the time
for the opening OF the session of the
Senate at hand. In spite of his great
age, even when his physical condition
became weakened. his mental faculties
were not in the least impaired. It was
his custom to read a short selection
from the Scriptures. and then to follow
this with a brief invocation, which he
offered extemporaneously.
Became III In April.
It was last April when the great
weight OF years began so to tell on DR..
Hale as TO alarm mis- friends. He grew
so weak that it was with difficulty be
could go TO the desk OF the Vice-Presi-
dent 10 offer prayer. His friends pei
suaded ham to so to Massachusetts and
his place was filed in his absence by
The Rev Dr. L. G. B. Pierce, of AL
Souls Church, this city.
DR.. Pierce and DIT. Hale were close
friends, and every Sunday for the last
several years DR.. Hale has occupied
the pulpit of DIR. Pierce's church. The
two were like brothers. This is the
church which President Taft attends.
The last time that DR.. Hale offered
prayer in the Senate was in April, lust
before he departed for Massa chusetts
He was so weak that he asked Dr.
Pierce to accompany him TO the rostrum
on which is the desk If the Vice Pres
ident. This wa the only time DR. Hale
| ever required assistance in carrying out
I his duties in the Senate. Even then, ne
announced the prayer in a fifsn voice
and left the atform ulaided.
Dr. Pierce Affected.
Dr. Pierce today was deeply affected
at the death of DR.. Hale. His only
comment was:
1T was the way man should die.
DR.. Hale'S daughter always accom-
panied hiDl 10 the Capitol. He always
/ arrived there about IL o'clock or II 30.
