Use Crate, to Hiae . Eo,t.

United States army engineers have
begun the construction Of two large
tunnels through the rim Of the great
extinct crater Of Diamond Head, Just
east Of the city Of Honolulu, Hawaii.
The tunnels are an adjunct to the great
1c-inch mortar batteries now nearly
completed on the slope Of the big cone
farthest from the ocean. They will
penetrate into the big bowl Of the
crater, the floor Of which includes some
twenty acres, surrounded by almost
perpendicular cliffs from ffty to 200
feet high. Erosion Of ages has covered
this crater floor with a layer of earth
averaging perhaps six feet In depth.
while small lake occupies one side
most Of the year. from rains which nnd
no outlet.
Within the mountain unusually secure
ammunition magazines will be con.
structed, and 1t IL possible that the
quarters for troops may also be con-
structed within the great Enclosure
formed by the crater walls.
The batteries OF elght>>big mortara

TIED WARRIORS IN LAST MATCH
Westerly Team Won Out on Last String by Pins-Will
Have to Roll Off Westerly No. Takes Big Share
of Prize Money-Basebal Results.

With the duckpin league champion
ship practically in their grasp, the
Norwich Warriors fell down on the
last string of their match Monday eve
ming at the Rose alleys, allowing Vest
erly No. 1 to beat them out in that
string by pins, thus tying them up
for the lead and compelling a roll
off at some future date yet to be de-
cided. 1t was missed spares in the
last string that did it, Murphy, Gray
and Captain Harris being the particu-
lar performers who had a chance to
win out for the home team if they had
been able to clean up with the second
ball on a number of boxes.
Captain Holdsworth's Westerly team
took the first game on a moderate
sized string Of 445, the Warriors find
ing things breaking hard for them and
getting only 422. A great tin horn
chorus was on hand and kept things
sizzling in the way of noise while
small band of Westerly sports Loyalty
came back with all their lung power
The Warriors rallied in the second
string which they won with the high
est team score of the evening, 400, in
which Gray's 100 was high for the eve
ming and Murphy put down 101.
The last was hot finish with West
erly winning the string by three pins
463 to 400 and with it the match The

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
READINGS WIDE RANGE.
From 143 SD at the Lowest to ISL 1-2
at the Highest.

New York, May 3.-.The violent con-
tortions of the quotations for Reading
today belied the assumption that the
supreme court decision in the cornmod-
tiles clause would prove without stock
market influence in either direction
The market became stagnant before
the announcement Of the decision and
became almost equally lethargic in the
period OF perplexity following the first
report OF the scope OF the decision
The extreme range in Reading was
from lab 5S at the lowest to ISL IL
at the highest, the latter figure repre-
senting the highest price touched since
the boom in the stock in 1905, which
eliminated in the price of 164 in Jan
uary of 1906. There were intermediate
fluctuations Of cOnvuiSive violence. The
Reading movement was the index of
the whole market. but In IT'S most ex-
aggerated terms. No other stock ap-
preached 1t IN point Of activity or
range of movement. The, market gain
ed perceptibly in breadth and strength,
however, in the latter stages of the
Reading advance. The disposition of
the commodities clause, It Was felt
put out of the way a factor that has
been overhanging the market with re-
presSive effect for months. The gem
eral effect Of the decision. also, was
regarded as cheering and helpful for
property and corporate interests. The
three per cent. call money rate Of last
Friday left an expectation OF possibly
tirmer money rates for a day or two.
No higher rate than two per cent was
touched during the day and opinion on
the money market settled back into
conviction of prolonged ease. The
promise Of extended abundance of
money seemed to be the cause Of
sharp advances in a number of indus
trial preferred stocks, United States
Steel leading with a rise of two points
TO the record price of III 1-2. The
war among the trunk lines over i'm
port freight rates and the fear Of an
unfavorable showing Of progress by
the crops in the forthcoming govern
ment report of condition had some in
huencc on the early heavy tone. The
Outburst Of speculative excitement fol-
lowing the commodities clause decision
opt away all other considerations
ait the market was strong at The
close. Bonds We're irregular. Total
sales, par value. So. 100000 United
States bonds were unchanged on call
