PEARL 1ARBOR EXCURSION
IS MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS
tFrom Monday. AdxertIsct.l

Hats on to Captain Miller To Mrs.
Miller and To- Eben Low. the Pirate
Kid. These were the three people who
made the excursion from Honolulu toI
Pearl Harbor yesterday possible, and
II was they who made the affalr the
grand success II was.
The whole truth is out at last IL
Is bound to come out sometime, and
now that the excursion Is over. there
is nothing to keep II back. 1t was
entirely owing to the sportsmanship
and courtesy of the directors of the
MILLER ships" or whatever they call
the good company that has charge
and ownership OF the Mokolii, the
Alden Besse and whole bunch of
other seaworthy craft, that the excur.
sion was possible.
When Captain Miller heard OF the
event being planned he stated that the
yacht club could have the use of the
Mokolii. the Luka and Spray. without
price Of any kind. but he requested
that his name be not mentioned in
the matter. Mrs. Miller is the owner
or the Luka, and she heartily en-
dorsed Captain Milers offer. After
the good time that everybody had on
the excursion to Pearl Harbor yester-
day. II IL only fair to give credit to
| Captain Miller and Eben Low for the
work they did In putting their boats
in commission and taking down the
largest and most enthusiastic crowd
that ever went on trip In the Ha-
waiian Islands.

Harbor Busy Early.

Shortly after 5 o'clock the harbor
was a scene of much getting busy on
the part OF the captains and crews
Of the yachts. The Hawaii was made
fast to the outer edge of the Oceanic
wharf, and Alec was busy getting the
sailcovers off and casting gaskets
loose. Farther up the bay the Kane
hameha. Gladys and Charlotte C.
showed signs of activity. and the
Helene, also warped to the Oceanic
wharf, was being made ready for the
twenty five b. p. o. Els. who made the
trip aboard of her.
BY $3.50 the harbor was dotted with
sailing craft. fitting back and forth,
waiting until the Mokolii should start
out with the Luka behind her. The
power schooner left her berth at the
Hackfeld wharf shortly before 10
o'clock. and towed the Luka over to
the Oceanic wharf, where a large
crowd had collected. The band was
playing, flags were flying, the sun was
shining, the breeze was blowing and
gaiety was in the air.
AS soon as the passengers were all
aboard the Luka, the signal was given
and the stately schooner yacht slid
gracefully through the water after her
less picturesque towboat.

A Beautiful Sight.

Then followed one of the greatest
aquatic sights ever witnessed In Hoo
nolulu. Following the Mokolii and the
Luka came a fleet of white-winged
sailing boats. not strung out In reg
ular line, but fitting over the water
apparently as aimlessly as ea-gulls.
First one would take the lead. with
pun OF wind that did not reach the
others, and then some other yacht
would catch a breeze and slide out
ahead.
over towards the far shore the Ha-
wall. with goodly deckload of fair
live ballast, was eating out the lee of
the other yachts Next to her was
the Kamehameha, with the Gladys
slightly ahead Behind came the
Charlotte c. and Spray while the
launches made speed with their en-.
gines going at "full speed ahead" and
plowed through the water faster than
the light breeze would carry the mere
sailing boats

Weather Ideal.

The weather was ideal for n yacht
ing cruise. There was just enough
wind to send the yachts along under
full sail, and not enough to make It
necessary to have a man at the main
sheet ready to slack of. or to make
things uncomfortable for the landlub-
bers of the party.
1t is hard to say who had the best
time. Those who went on the Luka,
under tow of the MolSoii, thought
they had the best of It. but the big
bunch of live ones on the Helene
stated loudly that they had had the
best time, and the smaller parties on
the other yachts were equally certain
that they had the best of everybody
in sailing with their own friends.
AS matter Of fact, everybody who
went had the best time. From the
start of the feet out of Honolulu har-
Dor to the time that the yachts re-
turned and passed their load of sun
burned passengers ashore, there was
! not hitch. not a sign of any pilikia.
The boats all reached Pearl Harbor in
good time, there was plenty to eat for
| everybody, and everybody was put
ashore in Honolulu in plenty Of time
to get home for supper.

Hope to Take Up Note.

II was decided TO go on with all ar
rangements for the big excursion, In
spite of Mr.. Coopers letter. because
there seemed to be every reason to
believe that the note would be taken
up before that date.
Last Monday there was no less than
$500 promised, and much hustllng
brought the amount nearly up to what
was required before Thursday night.
on Friday two members Of the trans
pacific committee had an interview
with Mr.. Cooper and asked him to re-
frain from preventing the Hawaii
from taking part in the excursion.
Mr.. Cooper stated that the two men
whose power of attorney ne held had
tacit understanding with Mr.. VIII
der that the yacht should not leave
her moorings until the note had been
taken up, and therefore he refused to
give his consent to having the Hawaii
take part in the excursion.
There was only one thing to do, and
that was to get the money. This was
done so well that the note was taken
up before noon yesterday, and, until
a committee is appointed to take
charge of her, only the port captain
of the Hawaii Yacht Club has any
thing to say about the boats move
ments. AS he is one OF the most en-
| thusiastic yachtsmen on the Islands.
/ the yacht Hawaii, already warped to
| the Fort street wharf, will start for
Pearl Harbor this morning at 10
o'clock with party OF ladies escorted
| by prominent local business men.

YACHT HAWAII IS TURNED
OVER TO THE YACHT CLUB
tFrom sundays Advertiser)

There was considerable enthusiasm and
people spoke well OF the idea. But
Just about the time that things SEEM
ed to be going WELL Alfred D. Coop
er wrote to c. T. wilder the following
letter. In which he expressed the hope
that the matter OF the yachts particle
patton in the program for May had
come from an irresponsible source;
Honolulu, T. H., April 20, 1909.
Mr.. Chas. T. Wilder, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: 1t has come TO my notice
through the medium Of the newspap ers
that the yacht Hawaii is TO take part
in cruise under the auspices of the
Hawaii Yacht Club, on the 9th of May.
Knowing that there is, among the mem
beers of the sub OF executive committee
of the Transpacific Yacht Race Com
mittee, very definite understanding
regarding the use of the yacht, | have
heretofore regarded these reports as
wholly unwarranted, so far as the Ha-
waii is concerned; but their persistence
now leads me to ask you for a state
ment of your position in the matter.
Should there be any foundation to
these rumors, in order to avoid dis
appointing any who may be shaping
their plans upon them, ! think that
the matter should receive immediate
considerations and TO this end would
suggest that meeting of the general
committee be called for as early a date
!, as practicable.
II is to be regretted that so fine a
boat as the Hawaii should lie at anchor.
Perhaps the present is a rather oppor'
tune moment for making particular
effort to finally dispose of her. i should
heartily favor any negotiations under
taken with view to etiecting some
permanent arrangement, which would
meet the approval of the donors, or at
least majority of them, and, at the
same time, relieve my principals from
further responsibility.
Under the existing conditions. how
ever, it does not appear reasonable that
the yacht should participate in the
coming event, and / take this oppor
tunity of expressing my intention OF
maintaining the same attitude taken
by those whom i represent, viz: that
the yacht is not to be used until def
mite plans regarding her disposal have
been agreed upon, and the financia
obligations contracted by the members
of the committee settled.
Hoping that the entire matter of the
yacht S participation in the program
for the 9th of May has originated from
an irresponsible source, remain, re
spectfully yours,
ALFRED ID. COOPER,
Attorney.in-fact for Henry E. Cooper
w. H. MeInerny.
p. S.-ShouId there be any need TO
meeting, l should suggest tomorrow
at noon, as this hour viii be convenien
for at least one member of the com
mittee. You may consider the ofiie
of Mr.. H. E. Cooper available for thi
purpose. wish TO be advised of an.
meetings that are to be held.

Excursion Is Arranged.

Then came the meeting of the yacht
club regatta committee. at which II
was decided to have the big opening
and excursion to Pearl Harbor. The
question was raised as TO the possi-
bllty OF using the Hawaii. II was
stated at the meeting that there was
no doubt that the note would be paid
off by May .. and so ID was decided 20
go ahead and book passengers for the
Hawaii.
Notices OF the event came out in the
papers, and everything seemed lovely.

What's What in Sports
All the Time
MAY BAR FIRST
YEAR MEN At |
Faculty Considering the Adop-
ton of Freshman Rule in
Athletics.

AT the meeting of the faculty of the
University of Utah Monday afternoon
steps were taken for the modification of
the present eligibility rules for the puT-
pose of introducing the One-year rule
into the Utah athletic code. This will
mean that hereafter no freshman viii
be permitted TO take part in college ae-
tivities against another college team.
The proposed introduction of the one
year rule was proposed for several rea-
sons. One of the most important is that
it will put Utah athletics on a par with
Colorado and other western school attn
fetics. and will enable Utah to secure con-
tests with these schools. This year con-
tests with Colorado schools other than
the Golden Miners could not be secured
on account of the Colorado schools adopt
ing the one-yesr rule and pledging them
selves not to participate ia athletic con-
tests with schools which did not have the
one-year rule.
The second reason for the proposed
adoption is that during the freshman year
men who are allowed to play football do
a low grade of work This is accounted
for from the fact that the jump from
high school 10 the university is broad and
the freshmen are not given enough frne
for their studies.
Other reasons for introducing the rule
were to reduce the possibility of the ath-
letic tramp. Under the present ruling a
man who has an appetite for football can
register at the university and by swear
ing that he did not play on another college
team the previous year is permitted to
play. AS soon as the football season IS
over the tramp leaves. and as a re
suit men are continually turned out OF
the university who have no other cOnnec-
ton with the university except football

back at school and il is therefore up to
him to bring out an entirely new team.
He has some promising material and
some more is promised him before the

has been brought about by the eliminat-

GOAL LINES remain UNCROSSED
IN GRIDIRON BATTLE At LOGAN

Coach Mcintosh of Montana said that
many of the penalties inflicted on his
team had been unjust. Much wrangling
marked the game.
Most of the Montana gains were made
on old-fasAiOned rushes through the Lo-
gan line They we're not consistent, how
ever. and the line always held before
striking distance of the goal was reached.
On the forward pass and by skirting
the Montana ends were most of Logan S
gains made In advancing the ball Egg
bert and Jones did the best work In
the second half forward passes from Egg
bert to Jones netted two 20-yard gains.
Egbert's quarterback runs were also
features.
Poole played brilliant game for Mon
tana until an injury to his leg in the
second half caused him TO retire.
Owing to the slippery ground many LO-
gan forward passes failed the local
eleven being forced 20 kick on account of
the penalty and in several cases their
opponents recovered the ball.
Al crucial times the Montana line
showed great strength, the defense of
their goal being particularly strong.
Despite the cold a large crowd at
tended the game aaj the roofing through
out the play was lively.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Logan, Nov. 1.-THE basketball man.
ayers here are now busy with the task of
preparing for the seasons work and the
indications are that while there will be
two teams here there will not be the in
terest in the game that there has been in
former years. This is largely due to the
fact that the Is. Y. G. which was the
holder of the state championship for two
years and which has always been in the
very front rank of basketball in the past
seven or eight years, is practically out
of the game as far as the state league is
concerned
At the beginning of the year the B. Y. c.
conferred with L. d. S. L. relative to the
formation of a high school league to in
clude the principal high schools of the
state but this plan was found to be
impracticable as nearly all the high
schools of the state had joined one or
another of the leagues in the state and
did not care to make any other arrange
ments for this season. This left nothing
for the two Institutions named to do but
quit the game or get in the college league.
and the b. Y. c. has decided to adopt
the latter course
