ONLY TOO ANXIOUS
TO TACKLE WALKER
Still Believes He Can Beat the
Great South African
Splinter.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. Jan. S.
Although President Roosevelt has writ
ten n personal letter 10 Jim Rector,
urging him on TO another race with
Walker the man from South Africa,
Rector cannot take part iu such a con-
test without endangaTing his life.
The President did not know that this
uitimatum had been issued by the doc
tors when he wrote 20 the flyer asking
him to compete.
Rector, who is taking law here, and
has done moCe to bring the University
OF Virginia into popular notice than
any man since the days OF Thomas eff
feISOn, founder or the college has been
warned that he cannot live two years
~ he continues in training.
Rector Still Confident
Rector was one of the athletes who
went To Oyster Bay 10 meet President
Roosevelt on his return from The ath-
Ietic games ia England The President
knows RectOT's people in Arkansas, and
a L that time ne expressed himself as
more than pleased 10 meet a man who
could lead his class in studies and az
the same time lead the country as a
l0Q-yard runner
Rector Was Just as positive when he
talked with Mir. Roosevelt that he could
beat Walker as he is now. He came
hack 10 the university and resumed his
studies. disappointed but unconquered,
when the doctors here discovered that
he had weakened the &C
tion OF his heart.
He came back from abroad with all
sorts OF houOrs, and il was thought his
head would be sWeiled. Most mems
would have doubled. But no, so with

To keep the peace with the new Class
IA leagues the commission granted
more to them than was asked at New
York. Mr.. Powers explains the indif-
ference Of his associates by the fact
that the minors have no players OF
great use to the majors. while the ma
Jors have many men who would look
good IN Eastern or Association uni
forms.
The greatest triumph Of the minors
was in the overthrow of the yoke of the

WAINIHA GROWING

LIHUE, Oct. 9.-The Improvement
In the times at Wainiha, due mainly
to the decrease In business and pop
ulation which has been brought
about by teh development Of the
field of the Kauai Electric Company,
has resulted In a new postofiice for
that section. which will be inaug-
urated next month. The first post
master will be w. e. Smith. who
has been busy getting the official
papers filled out and otherwise pre-
pairing for his duties. The new
building In which the office Is to be
located will be placed on the Haenn
side of the Wainiha River, at tho
makai end Of the new carriage road
which leads up the valley to the
power house.
A new postofiice Is also to be plac-
ed at Kappa in the near future, to
take the place occupied by the for
mer Office in that place, which fas
discontinued several years ago
when the postmaster then holding
office was convicted of embezz;ing
the funds over which he had con-
troll. Mrs. c. B. Gray is to be the
postmistress here. and her official
residence is now being built on Ka-
paa Flat.

WAIN|uA hui MEETS

Lihue Oct. 9.-The animal meeting
of the Wainiha Hui was held In the
Hui Hall. Wainiha. September 80. 1t
was known that the countryside had
teen searched for fat juicy pig. Ev-
eryone was there, and II was the social
event of the year.
The original members of the Hui
were n In number They bought the
land from the chief who owned II and
organized the Hui. Most of these Orig
inal owners have passed away and
their interests have fallen to their
children, grandchildren, etc. so that
the original shares have been subdi-
vided into small fractions, yearly
growing more diminutive and compli-
Gated. Accordingly the calling of the
roll-to ascertain II quorum was
present-was complicated and
lengthy proceeding. as each small frac-
ton must be accounted for and when
finally the roll was completed, II was
n problem In least common multiple
to add the shares up. The Intelligence
of the Hui was appointed q committee
for this purpose and the meeting adj
jOurned to give them time and quiet
to wrestle with the problem. The task
seemed a hopeless one until the bright
idea struck one OF them, of converting
the fractions into decimals, when II
was q simple matter oadd them. A
quorum was then speedily declared,

new CHARTER FOR BOSTON.

As n result of the work of the H.
nance commission. Boston is to have
n new city charter. The principal
parts of II were embodied in law by
the Legislature without giving the
people. chance to say whether they
wanted them or not. There is pro-
vision. however, for a referendum
upon two alternative features of the
charter.
Like the charters of New York and
Philadelphia, which have not been
productive of good municipal gov
eminent, the new charter of Boston
vests all important powers in the
mayor and renders the city council
little more than a debating society
In fact the Boston charter goes far.
Their in the direction of making the
mayor dictator than does that OF
any other city.
All appropriation ordinances mus,
originate with the mayor. The
council may reduce, but may not in
crease any item. Loan ordinances
as prepared by the mayor become. ef
fectiye unless rejected by the coun
Gil within a specified time. Tn,
veto of the mayor upon measures
passed by the council is absolute
The power of appointment also Il

departments, must be recognized ex
