BAGGERLY USES
THE ADVERTISER

The Mique Fisher bunch arrived in
San Francisco on February II, and
the genial manager made a Decline for
the newspaper offices. The San Fran
cisco Bulletin has lively account of
the games in Honolulu, and Baggerly
gives great credit to both Barney Joy
for his umpiring and to Dick Reuter-
for his pitching.
The word of man like Baggerly
goes long way with the magnates,
and it may not be very long before
good old Dick is properly signed up
at decent salary. He was perfectly
right in his holdout last time; and
every local fan will be glad to hear
that he is being boosted on the Coast
and will probably have really salts
factory offer in the near future.
Mr. Baggerly has paid the Adver-
tiser left handed compliment. He
has worked the sport stories and scores
that appeared in this paper into his
own stuff, and has given no credit for
the same The scores and the main
stories of the game amount to nothing,
but he, has used 'sfreak'' dope and
jingles without a word as TO the paper
thew were taken from.

ALFRED MAKES STIR
ON s. s. ALAMEDA

Alfred Freitas, well known in Homo
lulu, and who electrified San Francisco
messenger services about two years ago,
returned to Honolulu yesterday. How
ever, Alfred made something of a stir
aboard the Alameda.
His name is not on the passenger
list, but that is nothing new to the of
fcers.
1t is said that. Alfred decided to pay
as little as possible, and so came aboard
with Miss Davis of San Francisco and
was supposed to be her small brother.
She kept him under her wing all the
way down but many regarded the dap
per little fellow passenger of the young
woman as a remarkably precocious
young fellow who is nineteen.
When the quarantine officer boarded
the Alameda yesterday morning and
called off the list Of passengers and
came to Miss Davis name and then
"your brother,'' there was ripple of
laughter from the assembled group of
passengers.
Freitas says he will return again to
San Francisco. He says he sold out his
messenger business, at a profit, and
thereby hangs a tale. An ordinance
was passed that all messenger wires
should go underground. Freitas thought
this would be too expensive and he
looked around for purchaser, found a
buyer, sold out, and then the new owner
found himself up against messenger
trust, and lost the business.

whalers Life Not Happy One.

WnalerS Lie Not Happy One.
Captain Shorey, the negro skipper of
the whaler John and Winthrop, which
was anchored off this harbor for sew
eral months about year ago, has had
pecks of trouble as result of his
latest expedition. When he returned
to San francisco short time ago afler
not sighting a single whale during the
cruise, the men on the ship claimed that
1t was due to Captain Shoreys fond
ness for the dusky society of the South
Seas that better luck was not had.
They said he kept the vessel in ports
extra time in order to crafty his own
pleasure, and consequently the men

On February II, two suits were filed
IN San Francisco against the captain,
charging him with brutal treatment
shortly after the vessel left Hakodate.
1t is interesting to note that it was at
Hakodate that three sailors on whaling
ships were smo shered like rats in the
hold of vessel with sulphur fumes
because they deserted their righttul
ship. This happened away back in the

Dotted With Armored Posts.


Oahu is becoming dotted with Army
and Navy posts and has gone beyond
the paper-and plan stage of military
preparedness. 1t may surprise many
to know that there are already five
military and practically two naval
posts on the Island of Oahu, and con-
siderlng the marines as class detach-
ed from the Navy, to some extent, at
present, Camp Very forms still another
post.
These posts are Fort Shafter, housing
a battalion of the Twentieth Infantry;
Leilehua cantonment, garrisoned by
the headquarters, band and two squad
rons of the Fifth Cavalry; Fort Ruger,
the eight-mortar battery on the slope
of Diamond Head. with six mortars al
ready in position; Fort de Russy, at
Waikiki beach, where work is under
way to prepare for two gun stations
for heavy ordnance, and where a com
pany of U. S. Engineers are eneamped;
Fort Upton, at Queen Emma Point
Pearl Harbor channel entrance, where
in few weeks, two 12inch guns will
be in position, the first of the defensive
works to defend the Pearl Harbor Naval
Station.
Then there is the Honolulu Naval Sta
ton and the one at Pearl Harbor which
is to be built in two years. The marine
garrison of 450 men at Camp Very
forms another post. On the naval res
ervation point at the entrance to Ho
nolulu harbor the Army will construct

More Cavalry Horses Coming.

80 More Cavalry Horses Coming.
In the neighborhood of eighty cavalry
horses will reach here on the Arizonan
on Monday morning from San Fran
cisco, the last of the mounts for the
cavalry cantonment at Leiiehua. Most
of these were held at San Francisco
for quarantine purposes. Among the
nouns may be the forty polo ponies
for use of the officers, five to troop.
There are also seven additional horses
on the Arizonan, private horses, but
they are probably intended for private
owners in Honolulu.

Still Fight for Marines.
That the removal Of the marines from
cruising ships by President Roosevelt :
executive orders is not dead issue as
far as Congress is concerned is the be
lief in Congressional circles in Wash
ington. 1t is believed to be almost GER
tain that the Selate Committee on
Naval Affairs viii ameud the naval APP
preparation bill so as to require the re-
instatement of the marines.
It is understood that the Senate
Naval Committee, in secret session, has
brought up the subject and discussed it
One member of the committee said to-
day that the sentiment IN the commit
tee is to challenge the right of the
President to remove the marines from
cruising ships and put the matter up
to the higher branch of Congress.
Senator Ravner. of Maryland, is also
pressing his resolution that the Presi-
dent be requested to inform the Senate
by what right he issued the executive
order which is operating in the remov-
al of marines from sea duty.
The House Committee on Naval AT
fairs unanimously reported the naval
appropriation bill containing the
amendment that the marines be re
stored to duty on cruising ships, but
when the bill came up for passage in
the House the provision went out on
a point of order, members of the com
mittee conceding the point well taken,
as the amendment was new legislation

FAKE BILLY HAD BETTER LOOK OUT
 FOR REAL BILLY
Famous Middleweight Champion of a Generation Passed is Here and He
 Shows the Gods.

The real Australian Billy McCar- thy. with the evidence on his person in the form of pictures and newspa- per clippings showing him to be the hero of many hard fought fights, wis ited the sporting editor of the Farmer yesterday.
 He dropped in to cor&,nend the sport ing editor for his exposure of the fake Australian Billy" Mccarthy, who has been sticking out his chest at Jim Jacques place, and claiming to have participated in fights that he never saw. and to have won victories that he never was nearer to than the newSpa- per that printed the report.
 The real Australian Billy does not frequent Jacques place. He would rather walk the streets than do it. He is a permanent resident of this city. a painter by trade. and a big sturdy fellow. He has papers show ing an honora ble discharge from the United States navy and a letter of re- cOmmendation from Joseph l.. Berry, commissioner of public parks in New York city.
 The real Australian Billy is willing to fight Sailor Burke in spite of the 5o years that Billy has seen. If he can not do better with Burke than Me Sherry did he will take long sleep in the cold waters of the harbor.
 It will be well for the pretended Australian Billy" who hangs out at Jacques and brags about fighting. if he does not meet the real Australian Billy If he wants to meet the req article he has only to visit him at SS State street.

BRYAN ON THE CABINET

Lincoln, Neb., March 12.-Mr. Bryan is caustic in his criticism in to-mor- rows Commoner of MT. Tafts Cabin ct. He says:
 NDoes the Presidents Cabinet strike you as a reform Cabinet?
 "Secretary of State Knox, ex-attor- ney of the steel trust, after conference with MT. Prick, he as Attorney Gen eraI advises the killing of the only an- ti-trust bill passed by the House in re- cent years Is he likely to encourage the President to attack the trusts?
 Secretary of War Dickinson, attor- ney for the Illinois Central Railroad, an ex-Democrat, drawn away from his party by his corporate connections.
 'Secretary of the Treasury Mac Veagh, ex-Democrat, who left the par ty when the party separated rom Wall Street.
 "Attorney-General Wickersham, not known for any activity in connection with regulations of railroads or the prosecution of monopolleS or nation al character.
 'When has a Chief Executive select ed a more conservative Cabinet? There are no reformers in it. The progress is as completely ignored as was the progressive element by MT. Cleveland during his second administration. Will the result be the same?
 MT. Taft's Secretary of Commerce and Labor, the official who will be in charge of the work of gathering infor- nation concerning the trusts, is MT Charles Nagel of St. Louis. MT. Ma gel was at the time of his selection for the Cabinet attorney for the Standard Oil trust.'
 After quoting a newspaper predIc- ton of some months ago as to NagePS coming appointment MT. Bryan contin- ueS:
 "It is plain that all that was nee essary to secure for this Standard Oil trust lawyer a place in MT. Taft's Cab inet was a dignified presentation Of his name from the right quarters. Gan it be possible that the Nagel appointment was one of the subjects under discussion when Messrs. Taft and Rockefeller met in Georgia during the month of January"
