TRIES TO EXPLAIN
CITY MONEY WASTE
SMITH AIDED IN PURCHASE OF
VOTING MACHINES
County CLERK Demands Appliances for
Elections Shall Be Removed from
Room in Court House
Where Stored

Right in the heat Of the campaign
when George a. Smith, a candidate
for mayor, is trying to explain why
lie wasted about $4,000 of the tax
payers money i'm engineering the pur-
chase of fitty-tWo voting machines
through the riverbed franchise coun-
ell, of which he was a member, the
old ghost has again arisen and been
made to rattle its dry bones by a de
mand of the supervisors that the coun-
ell take the voting machines out of the
room in which they have been stored
in the courtroom.
In a letter signed by County Clerk
c. G. Keyes and addressed to city
Clerk Lelande the statement is made
the room the machines occupy in the
courthouse is needed for other pur-
poses and the council is asked to re-
move the machines Immediately.
If the city is to retain possession OF
the machines they will have to be
stored i'm some warehouse and an ad-
ditional expense added to the insur-
ancc. interest and other incidentals
that would make them expensive lux
uries even if they could be used. While
the actual cost of these machines was
500 each or $36,400 for the fifty-tWo
machines, freight had to be added
to the cost and this year, after the de
probation of several years has been
deducted. they are carried on the audi
tor's books at $4,000.
These voting machines never have
been used Gnd most of them never have
been out of the packing cases in which
they were shipped from the factory. 1t
is not definitely known even whether
the machines will do the work they
were guaranteed to do. When the
machines were first purchased 1t was
found the number of candidates and
questions to be settled ON the ballot
we're so numerous that they could not
all be put on the machines. But there
have been elections such as bond and
annexation elections when they could
have been used. but We're not.

CHINESE JOIN THE
NEW OAHU LEAGUE

At a meeting of the Chinese Athletic
Club held last night it was decided by
unanimous vote that its baseball team
should withdraw from the Riverside
League and join the new Oahu Baseball
League.
There was little discussion of the
matter, the question having been gra-
dually settled between the players be-
fore the meeting started. Mr.. Goo
Kim, who had been appointed com
mittee to interview the Riverside Lea
que and also the promoters of the new
league, made his report, carrying no
recommendations. Motions as above
were thereupon offered and carried in
each case by unanimous vote.
This action by the Chinese Athletics
settles their own troubles and at the
same time makes the Oahu Baseball
League the strongest organization OF
the kind established here in years. The
Japanese A. c. will follow the lead Of
I the Chinese. and the Riverside League
will probably go up the fiume for pure
lack of support.

victory for Marcallino over Ingalls,

A THOMAS FLYER
BREAKS RECORD

The San Francisco Examiner, arriv-
ing by the Virginian last night has
the following to say Of the latest re-
cord breaking run of Thomas Flyer
from San Francisco to Los Angeles:
No feat of the present automobile
season has caused so much discussion
as the breaking of the San Francisco
Los Angeles record by H. l.. Brassey
and his Thomas Flyer That the time
of Fernando Nelson could be lowered
was the opinion of most of the motor
lists but the fact that over fifty at
tempts have been made during the last
two years all of which proved fail
ures, showed that the II hours and II
minutes of Nelson and his White was
no easy matter to equal.
No record in the history of coast
motoring has been so much sought
after as the San Francisco-Los Angeles

trophy This is partly due to the
great distance of the course and also
to the strenuous and dangerous con-
dition Of o great part of the route. Ever
since Fred Jacobs, in a two-cylinder
Rambler; and II. l.. Whitman, with his
Fr6nklin car started the record-break-
ing feats, the motorists OF Los Angeles
and this city have been interested in
the car that could make the best time
over tie five hundred miles of rough
roads.
so keen is the desire of the motor
dealers and enthusiasts to hold this
record that Brassey, the present hold
err of the trophy made preparations for
all obstacles, even carrying along suf-
ficient funds to pay possible fines for
speeding. At Santa Barbara Brassey
had to put up bail money, and If he
/ had not taken the precaution to be
prepared for the emergency the arrest
would probably have caused him the
. loss of the record.
| e. p Brinegar, manager of the
Pioneer Automobile Company, local
representative of the Thomas cars, in
discussing the result of the race said:
."Of course ] am elated over the record
of the Thomas We do not as rule
favor such contests, but in the inter
ests of sport and to demonstrate the
durability and speed of our car, we
lent our assistance to Brassey who
handles the Thomas cars in Southern
California. That he broke the record
is no surprise to me, as | was sure
of the speed of the machine. In the
hands of such competent men as those
that operated the winning car, there
was practically no danger. An i'm

race was the absolute lack of trouble

JEFF AND CORBETT
PLAY BASEBALL

CHICAGO, May 27.-James ]. JEFF
fries today proved that his victories
over ames Corbett at oney Island
and on the coast were not tiukes by
defeating him a third time at the SoX
baseball park.
Jeff captained a team composed OF
Sox players and won over another di-
vision of the SoX captained by Cor
bett by a score of TO 6.
Jeffries drove in the winning run in
the ninth inning with a three-base
soak when the bases were full, thus
placing Corbett and his bunch among
the also rams.
When the SoX reached the South Side
grounds in the morning they found
Jeffries and Corbett present. The two
tossed for first choice. and then each
chose his nine from among the men of
the Sox squad The game went the
full nine innings and was tie until
Jeffries sent the two runs across with
his wallop for three bases.
