From the sentiment generally ex-
pressed by members of the club in
New York, / am profoundly encour
aged and hopeful. Each man appeared
to be impressed with the energy and
sincerity of Baltimore and to appreci.
ate that we are thoroughly in earnest
in our demand for the meet. OF
course, none was prepared actually to
commit himself in favor of any partic
ular city, especially members of tho
executive committee, and l can read
lily understand their reluctance to
take positive position at this point,
but all gave us the utmost encourage
ment, and eevn intimated that they
would work for Baltimore and Wash
ington."
Similar reports were made by 9TH
ers of the party, and the feeling pre-
vailed that a vast amount of good had
been accomplished by the visit to
Gotham.

the arrangement of long-distance bal.
loon trips from Baltimore, and Mr..
Hillery Beachey is preparing flights
for enthusiasts in this section. Mr..
Beachey's first trip of the kind, made
several days ago, was an unqualified
success, and balloon flights are ex.
pected to become almost as popular
as trolley rides or automobile jadnts.
1t is understood that a resolution
will be introduced in the council ask.

the fund to advertise Baltimore, and
while the city has no power to so ap-

e 1GHTEEN red oak trees have been
l. planted recently along the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue between
Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets,
Washington, with view to the perma-
nent improvement of that prominent
thoroughfare. Ten of these large trees
will be placed in front of the state,
war and navy building and eight in
front of the treasury building. The
sidewalks at those points are wide
and at present devoid of ornament,
natural or artificial. They are con-
spicuous on account of their barren
ness as well as for their exposure to
the sun in summer and the wind in
winter.

neers. The greater part of the manual
labor has been done by the regular Iur-
I1ish soldiers without extra pay.
The Damascus station of the railway
is situated at the extreme southern end
of that part OF the city called the Medan.
In viewing Damascus from the heights TO
the northwest the city resembles a sauce
pan or q spoon with a round bowl, the
main part being round and the quarter
called the Medan corresponding TO the
handle The latter is practically sin
Gle long street. The station consists OF
several buildings. some of which are ware
and baggage hOESes. Large repair shops
are being erected. The present station
building is a small affair, but IL is prob
able that a suitable structure viii soon
be built.
On leaving Damascus the road runs
southwark, entering what is known as
the HauTan. This is a vast plateau al
most entirely devoted TO the raising of
wheat and barley, both of excellent quail
ity. Shortly after leaving Damascus the
snOW-capped HermOu can be seen to the
west. All the rock in this district is
black basalt, indicating a volcanic origin.
The buildings of the villages passed and
the ruins of ancient cities as well are
constructed of this material, which tends
to give a weird aspect TO the scene, espe-
ciaIIy after the grain has been harvested
ana the ground is bare and brown.
The first station of any Importance
reached is Daraa. To the southwest a
large village is i'm view. The station con-
sists of a number of buildings one of
which is a large repair shop where many
disabled locomotives can be seen. waiting

PILIKLA
CHINESE AMI JAPANESE ATH-
LETES DIDN'T LIKE REMARKS
ATTRIBUTED TO DoUTHITT

Some of the baseball teams sshedul-
ed to play at the new athletic park
started to withdraw yesterday, on ac-
count of a statement attributed to
Manager Douthitu, that the park was
not for Chinese and japanese In
dignation meetings were soon in pro-
gTess and pililda was in sight. Mr..
Douthitt, however, was easily able to
explain that he did not mean to make
the statement quoted, and now all-is
sunshine again.
Through a mistake that may have
been mine said Manager Douthitt, Il
was quoted in The Star last night as
saying that the new park was not for
Chinese and japanese. OF course l
never meant anything of the sort Such
a remark would be ridiculous. What
| intended to say was that we had
accommodations for all the town and
wanted everyone to come.
Situated as it is, in the oriental
quarter | thought the park might be
regarded by some as exclusively for
japanese and Chinese players and
spectators, and / wanted to say that
we are bidding for all kinds of people.
The mere fact that the very first
games / have arranged for are between
japanese and Chinese teams shows
of course, without my saying any
thing more, that i never could have
had any idea of saying the park was
not for them
However, what Mr.. Douthitt wish
ed to say was that Athletic park was
not intended for the exclusive use of
Asiatics-or, Chinese and Japanese, as
he expressed it. While it is recogniz-
ed that they will form a large pro-
portion of the patronage, people of
other nationalities will be extended an
equally cordial welcome.
A. V. Gear, the originator of the
Athletic park idea, states in explana-
ton of the position of the owners of
the place that it is intended as an
athletic resort for all nationalities. Be
ing situated in the Palama district,
it has been presumed and calculated
upon all along that a large proper
tion of the patrons would be Chinese
and Japanese.
Work is being pushed with all vigor
at the park and the place will be in
the finest of shape for the grand OPP
ening on Sunday next.

PARADISE.
SOME OF THE TROUBLES NOT ADJ
VERTTSED BY THE PROMOTION
COMMITTEE.

Jose Mildorando, unctiously disre-
putable, was in police court this morn
ing to explain how it was officer Fred
Weed and other watchful guardians
of the law were in the habit of seeing
him beg.
Jose was caught on his knees in the
Paragon market, praying for meat;
also has he been observed, hat off ana
the other hand extended, whining to
women for aims; likewise has he
been seen disfguring the Sunday morn
ing scene at the Catholic Cathedral,
begging for dimes and leering greasily
to excite sympathy.
He's a crying beggar, but since he
had been working a day or two at
strikebreaking Judge Andrade merci-
fully suspended sentence for a while.
A Portuguese woman this morning
called to see Deputy Sheriff Rose in re-
gard to her husband. She owns her
own home, and her husband, it seems,
! has tired of her and wishes TO spend
| his time in company with other wo-
men The wife takes it quite philoso-
phically and is willing that her hus-
band love the rest Of the world as long
as he keeps on her premises.
But the stingy man insists on stab
| ling his horses in her stables, wants TO
kill her chickens for his meals and has
threatened to take away her sewing
machine.
Instead OF beating him over the head
with a garden-ralie, as he might de-
serve, the lady. being of peaceful
mind takes her troubles to Charlie
Rose who is something of an arbitrator
! in such delicate matters.
He has promised her TO send for
the husband and talk some sense into
his selfish head.
Fred Keack was fined $40 this morn
ing for whipping Pringle. Keack had
| had his fun and paid the price.
The case Of Blackwell, George Car
ter's chauffeur, charged with violation
of city ordinance regulating the opera
! ton Of automobiles, was this morning
continued for the TENTH time.

morning was continued till tomorrow

Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Binn, who
lately died in California, was once a
favorite figure on the stage, under the
name of Nellie Holbrook. She was in
Honolulu years ago with the Charles
b. Wells company and played at the
old Royal Hawaiian theater, on the
site of the present Masonic temple.
This was before the first Opera House
was built. After adding Blinn to her
name the actress came here again and
was present at the Punahou jubilee.
Director f. H. Newell of the Recla-
nation service believes that the pine
apple is about the only fruit that is
improved by canning. He says the rea-
son of this lies probably in the fact
that it is very difficult to get a per-
fectly ripe pine. Persons who are un.
accustomed to handling them do not
readily acquire the art of cutting or
opening a ripe pine in the best man
ner. These ideas are given in a let
ter from Mr.. Newell to Secretary Wood
of the Hawaii Promotion Committee

HIS LITTLE SAY
Sporting Editor STAR

Sporting Editor Star
| wish through the medium of your
valuable paper to deny in toto the
statement of Jacob Tavares, known as
Young Nelson, which appeared in this
mornings Advertiser, and in which my
name was mentioned
In the first place, it is absurd on
the face of it to suppose that boxer
of Young Nelson's caliber could by any
stretch of the imagination be worth
$500 to any promoter of boxing bows,
even if he had contracted to box a
dozen different men instead of two
| promised Young Nelson a lump
sum of 500 to box Rafferty, and Dixon
and not only kept my word with him
but threw in a fifteen-dollar bonus.
it is strange that Young Nelson
should have reserved his roar till this
late date, and it would be interesting
if you could print the exact circum-
Stances which have caused him to stir
up an already settled matter, evidently
with the idea of discrediting myself

The Brownsville Incident.

Senator Foraker goes out of public
secured the enactment of a. law by
which the members of the Twenty
fifth infantry, who we're discharged by
President Roosevelt for alleged COM
vile several years ago, may secur
their vindication and reinstatement.
The bill passed by congress provides
that members of the discharged bat
board, to be appointed by President
Taft. The board shall be composed
of army officers and their report may
exonerate the ex-soldier of the charge
of being implicated in the shooting,
If this is lone and the soldier is al
lowed to %re-enlist, he will be entitled
to his back pay.
If Senator Foraker was induced to
make his fight for the negro soldiers
in order to embarrass Mr.. Taft, who
was then secretary of war and a can
didate for the republican presidential
nomination, his calculations woefully
miscarried. The republicans of the
country sized the Brownsville incident
up as a local issue and not a national
affair, and Senator Foraker fell by the
wayside in the political fight. If he
took up the fight, in which he made
many bitter enemies. from a belief that
a wrong had been committed, he will
find much consolation in his final vic
tory, for his is the credit for the en-
actment of the new law. If any injus-
tice has been done the negro members
of the regiment stationed at Browns
Vile at the time of the shooting, the
ways are now open to have such injus-
tice corrected.
