The TRUE DEMOCRAT received
the following letter, yesterday
from Hon. r. G. Wickliffe:
House of Representatives
Washington
April q, 1909
The TRUE DEMOCRAT,
st. Francisville, La.
In regard to the matter about
which you wired me, will say that
[ have taken same up with the
Bureau of Navigation at the Navy
Department here and have re.
ceiVed every encouragement
from them as to the Battleship
Mississippi stopping at Bayou
Sara. | went over the matter at
length with Admiral Pillsbury,
Chief of the Bureau of Naviga,
ton, and he gave me to under.
stand that the request would un-
doubtedly be granted if safe an
chorage could be had at Bayou
Sara, and as there is no doubt
about this, | have every reason
to believe that the ship will an
Choir at Bayou Sara on her trip
up and remain several hours dur.
ing the day to allow the residents
of the surrounding country to
visit and inspect her.
The ship will enter the mouth
Of the Mississippi River on the
18th of May and will remain in
the river until the 9th of May
and will certainly go up as far as
Natchez. This will make a period
of IA days from the time the ship
enters the mouth of the river
until it leaves the mouth of the
river which ought to give ample
time to stop at many points.
From now on / will work to
get the Department to let US
know positively and unequivocal.
ly if they will permit the ship to
stop at Bayou Sara, and if so,
what date. If | can get this pos
itively fixed you will then be in a
position to advertise the exact
date. | can say that when it
does stop it will be on the way
up, hence it will be some time
between the 18th and Goth that
the ship will stop at Bayou Sara.
If you have any further sugges-
tion to make I pray that you will
not hesitate to let me know at
once. Will wire you just as soon
as I get anything definite, though
it may be several days, or a week,
or possibly more.
With kindest regards, | am,
Yours very sincerely,
RoBT. G. WICKLIFFE.

KAPIOLANIS TO
SETTLE AFFAIRS

An important business meeting Of
the Kapiolani Baseball League will be
held at the residence OF John f. Silva
this evening. 1t is practically settled
that the league will play the new Sc
ries with only four teams, aud sche-
dule of games on this basis will be
made out. Another matter to be TAX
en- up will be the report of the arbi-
traitors on the protest of the last game
played by the Kalihis.
In regard to grounds, the conclu-
sion is, practically, that the Kapio-
lani League will play at Aala park.
Kapiolani park will be abandoned.
There is no objection to the field out
there, but the players find it too far
from town. A game will, therefore,
probably be arranged for next Sunday
morning in Aala park and all other
games will likely be played there.
There was some talk and thought of
playing in the new Athletic park, but
whether intentionally or mott the
promoters of that place have given
the Kapiolani League officers the i'm
preston that the new park is already
rather topheavy with baseball.

EXCURSIONS TO
OTHER ISLANDS

Both the Mauna Kea and Mokolii,
going out Saturday for the other ISL
ands, will be crowded to their respect
i've limits with pleasure seekers. Most
of the travellers will be destined for
Hilo, in the Mauna Kea, the princi-

AMERICANS WIN
POLO IN LONDON

LONDON, June 2S.-The first of the
games for the American polo cup was
won today at Nottingham by the
Meadowbrook team of Long island, 9
goals to s.
Several of the younger members of
the royal family occupied the paw
lion on one side of the stand, where
hundreds of English polo veterans and
FoXhall Keene, Craig Wadsworth and
other Americans were.
The Englishmen conceded that the
American team was the finest ever
seen in the field. The Americans piled

READY FOR BATTLE

Dick Sullivan and Jack Cordell will
both ease up on training after today.
Each man considers himself in the
best of condition and the respective
trainers are satisfied. tomorrow the
work of both the men will be light
and Saturday will be one of rest.
There has been very little or no bet
ting on the fight, despite lots of talk
Yesterday one man began to buzz that
he had bet S25 on Cordell; but when
investigated it turned out that this
fellow had friend whose brother
lived in Kaneohe. This brother had
written over that some friend of his
had said that neighbours brother
in-law would, if he had the money,
bet $25 on Cordell. That's about the
way the betting is going.
Whether the st. Louis has fighters
aboard or not, there will be no entry
from her Saturday night. The pro-
gram has settled down to the prin-
cipal fight and a few preliminaries,
all of which have been repeatedly an
nounced.
The principals in the leading fight
have not yet decided upon referee,
but will do so tonight.

TARS AND MALES
IN A CLOSE CAME

The baseball game at the league
grounds yesterday afternoon between
the Males and St. Louis giants re-
suited in victory for the former by
the remarkable score of TO 0.
There was a remarkable lack of
errors in the game, but this was pro
badly due to light batting. There
was scarcely any fielding or base run
ming to do. The pitchers of both
teams came up heavy and really did
most of the work
The general work of the Males
showed that, with some team prac-
tice, the old nine would come up
quite strong. The st. Louis players
were rusty, not having played togeth-
err before. w. Prestidge, who pulled
the game off, feels well satisfied with
his work and is preparing for chal-
lenge for a swift return go.
Bill Hampton appeared in the game
for the first time in quite a while.

ANXIETY INTENSE.
Owing to the fact that Chevrolet
was the tenth entrant in a field of II
and that BourQue crowded so perl
lousy close to him in the final laps,
the Knox car, No. on the list, was
the first to pass the tape, his time
being S:02:44 At this time Chevro-
let was somewhere near the begin
ming Of the long south stretch with
eight miles in which to secure the
prize. AS he flashed by the stations
along this part of course the news
of his location, transmitted by wire
to the judges stand and through the
watchers, wrought them to climax
of enthusiasm. The intense anxiety
regarding his movements to the last
foot was due in the main to a lively
sense of the possibility of a disaster
involved by multitude of rough ex-
periences characterizing the day.

Local Historic Spots.

Visitors to Washington find the city
spotted with small wooden tablets. made
in imitation Of bronze. erected by a COM
mittee Of citizens under the direction Of
the inaugural committee These tablets
mark certain historic places. buildings in
which famous men once lived or worked
sites upon which their homes stood. hotels
and churches identified with the lives Of
statesmen. the scenes of important hap
penings. There are In all nearly two hun
dred of these markers. every one of them
interesting. Studied by the stranger with
catalogue in hand. they disclose the long
historic perspective Of Washington. They
as it is written in the records of men and
events.
Many of the landmarks are passing
from view. for Washington is in a state
of change. 1t Is growing rapidly. and its
growth involves sacrifices The older
buildings are being replaced by new ones,
and steadily the urban area is extending
into the suburbs and the newness of
modern residence and apartment house
construction is enveloping the territory.
In a few years. unless permanent marks
are established. most of the historic build
ings will have been swept away. without
traces left to note their existence.
The committee on marking points of
historic interest has this year produced q
form of marker strongly suggestive Of
a permanent bronze tablet. II. in fact
these wooden tablets were thus replaced
with enduring metal visit to Washing

instructive than at present during

program Of the former was too elabo-
rate. while that Of the latter was con-
sidered unwise. Congress. in the main,
went it's own gait. took a conservative
course and helped along the republican
nominee. Judge Taft found the record
in good shape. and stood upon 1t. joy
fully and firmly, with both feet.
The second session opened with some
expectation that number Of measures
coming over from the first session would
now go through. But this had no war
rant. "A new lease Of power for the re-
publicans suggested that matters Of i'm
portance about which there was dis
agreement should have more considera-
tion than could be given them at a
short session. and that the appropria-
tion bills should be maneuvered to block
the way to things that could wait. This
was done. Uncle Sam gets his annual
allowance. and the new Congress. at
next winters session, will. address it,
self to some of the matters that failed
this time.
Mr.. Fairbanks retires and Mr.. Sher
man comes in as the presiding officer of
the Senate. Mr.. Cannon will succeed
himself as Speaker Of the House. Things
look well for the republicans, although
they have some knotty problems to
solve. But they have been solving knotty
problems for almost fifty years, and
have grown familiar with the job.
