IMPROvEME BONDS
APPROVED BY TAFT

Governor Frear received a cablegram
yesterday morning from Frank Pierce,
Assistant Secretary Of the Interior at
Washington, stating that the public i'm
provements bond issue of the Territory
of Hawaii had been approved by the
President.
The bond issue was approved by the
Legislature during the last session. 1t
amounts to 100000 and is for two
principal purposes. Half of it viii go
to the improvement of Honolulu harbor
and most Of the other half toward the
Kula pipe Line on Maui
Dillon and Hubbard, the New York
financial agents of the Territory, have
the matter in hand and were cabled
yesterday by Treasurer Conkling to go
ahead and have the bonds issued. The
United States Mortgage and Trust Com:
pany will print the bonds and send
them to Honolulu for signature as soon
as possible. There is no doubt about
the placing of them on the market as
several offers have already been made.

NNHAU COMES
HOME LEAKING
Steamer Pounded on kamaIo
Reef for TWenty-Four
Hours.

Slightly leaking and with cracked
steam pipe the Inter-Island steamer
Niihau, Captain Oness, arrived in port
at 1890 last evening after having
spent twenty-four hours pounding on
the Kamalo Reef, along the Molokai
coast. The vessels hull is damaged,
but just how much so will not be
known until she is placed on the ma
rine railway.
On Monday afternoon the Niihau
left Kahulm intending to go to Kau
for a load of sugar. An hour after
leaving the Maui port the steam pipe
cracked and for safety the captain de-
eided to return to Honolulu. He steam
ed northward and Rugged the Molokai
coast, so that if the pipe cracked en-
tirely he would be close enough inshore
to drop anchor. He continued to hug
the coast and when darkness came on
he picked a light and took it for the
Kaunakakai light.
The vessel was steaming along slow
ly and suddenly the bow lifted, the
vessel shivered and before the engines
were stoppd the Niihau had slid her
entire length on the reef. Captain
0ness worked the engines but to no
purpose. The boat hung on the coral
barrier. Wireless word was sent to the
Honolulu Office and the officers con-
tinued their efforts to release the ship.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon the steamer was worked over
the reef and she slipped back into deep
water and started off for smoke which
came from the funnel of the steamer
Claudine. which had been despatched
to the steamer assistance. The Mi
hau signalled that she was in no need
of help, and started for Honolulu.
Meanwhile President Kennedy and
Captain haglund of the Inter-Island
company left Honolulu on the. Mauna
Kea yesterday noon and intended going
to the rescue of the stranded vessel.
The president was surprised to see the
>Niihau coming along the channel late
in the day. He and Captain Haglund
were transferred TO her in a small boat.
The officials arrived on the steamer last
night.
E.The buoy on Kamalo Reef should
be lighted at night was President
Kennedy's comment last evening. "Ka-
maIo Reef is dangerous to navigation
and navigators should be protected to
the extent of having the buoy lighted. ,"

Late last night the jury in the con-
spiracy cases came in with verdict of
guilty in the third degree against Ne
goro, Maxine, Sega, Tasaka and Kawa-
mura. They had been about six hours
In reaching decision.
According to the law, conspiracy, not

exceeding one year and by fine not ex-
ceeding $500.
It could not be. learned last night
when sentence would be pronounced.
Attorney Lightfoot made fve-hour
address to the jury yesterday, going
far in his attacks upon the prosecution
and the planters. It was supposed that
in view of the assault on Sheba dur
ing the course of the trial, he would
carefully avoid all reference to the
editor of the Shinpo. Instead of that,
Lightfoot rushed in and attacked Sheba
bitterly While making no reference
to the attempt at assassination beyond
mentioning it as something that the
defendants regretted as much as any
body else, he took the ground that
Sheba got no more than he deserved
when he was ostraeized by the Japa-
nese. Sheba, he said, was sneak who
ran to the sugar planters and tattied
to them about what his countrymen
were going to do to Try to better their
condition. ssWhy should the sycophant
not be ostracized9' he demanded. che
deserves it and he got what was COM
ing to him.
Professor Dening. the expert from
Japan, Lightfoot held up to ridicule
and Attorney Kinney was bitterly at
tackled because of some of the methods
he employed in trying to win his. case.

CHAUFFEURS ARE
OPTIMISTIC men
Find Summer Business Good
and Feel Winter viii Be
Better.

Chauffeur Wood of the Young Hotel
auto stand. who owns one of the larg-
est machines in the public service,
states, that, despite the pessimlstic
views of some Honolulans that the auto
men would suffer this summer for lack
of business, the tourist trade has kept
up so that about all the auto men are
doing well.
They are assured, he says, of large
tourist traffic for the rest of the season
and the coming winter looks better than
ever. The machines are kept busy day
and night. Although they can not com
plain about patronage of Honolulu folk,
vet they say that the tourists are very
liberal patrons indeed.
Some of the auto people have heard
that R. P. Scherwin, general manager
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
who is now in Honolulu, has expressed
the opinion that Honolulu is really en-
titled to a Pacific Mail boat being in
port for twelve daylight hours. This
would give time for the auto trip
around theisland. When the belt road,
which Supervisor Jim Quinn is most
anxious should be not only built but
put in the finest possible shape, is COM
pleted, the auto people are assured that
they will have full loads from almost
every ship for the 'round-the-island -
tour. This trip is talked of on the
steamers by the officers, and passengers
are extremely anxious to make 1t, even
though the cost is fairly high.

HOTEL STREET WILL
De MADE WIDER

Arrangements have been concluded
with sthe owners of the property on
.he makai side of Hotel street, be-
tween Alakea and Richards streets,
whereby that thoroughfare will be wild
ened in the near future. The Terri
torial surveyor will run the lines at
once and as soon as the stakes are set
the County win improve the street.
More widening will be done opposite
the Hotel stables than at the corner
of Hotel and Alakea streets. but this
is unavoidable. An auto garage is be-
ing erected in the corner lot on Alakea
street, to be similar in design to the
Young Hotel stand in Bishop park.

WOULD LAND SALIVA JOB.
T. st. Peter Told What He Did to
Roads.

Theo. st. Peter attended meeting
of the SaIina good roads enthusiasts
Tuesday night and tried to land the
job of working the roads the COM
mercial club proposes to improve
The Union says:
T. St. Peter, road builder, was pres
ent from Dickinson county. He is the
builder of the Enterprise road, a
famous stretch of road between Abb
Iene and Enterprise. 1t is three miles
long.
IT can make a good road as easily
as l can a bad one," said st. Peter.
Early in the spring is the time to put
the roads into shape. First, clean out
the bitches and burn the trash and
then level the roads. People won't
believe it, but l can make good roads
faster and better with sled than l
can with a grader All the grader Is
good for is to shape the road. Then l
don't touch the grader any more that
year. can easily take care of twenty
five miles of road with four teams
and keep it up in season.
1.-THE Enterprise road l built for
$3.50. l made $3.50 profit on the
whole job l built that road simply
to show the people what could be
done in the way of road making.
mat was three years ago and since
that time the road has not been
touch ed. Yet it is still in excellent
condition.
H. ~. lee, who brought Mr. st.
Peter from Dickinson county, stated
that he had lately driven over the
Enterprise road and that 1t was as
fine as any Kansas City boulevard.
Mr.. Kirkland said he has also taken
a spin over the road in an auto last
fall and found it In excellent shape.
At that point Fred Quincy called
attention to new law. He said the
law provided for the appointment Of
county engineer to oversee all road
matters in the county. The town
ships, however, could limit the work
as they saw fit. The county survey
or may be appointed to this position.
Mr.. Quincy said it would be neces-
sary to get the consent of the town
ships as well as the engineer before
private contractors could take care
of the road.
In Saline county the road engineer
has not yet been appointed.
Some wanted to hire st. Peter that
night to build roads. Mr.. Watson
and others favored the offering of
prizes.
Finally on motion of Mr.. Kimball,
a committee consisting of H. D. Lee,
W. W. Watson and F. H. Quincy was
appointed to devise plans for road
improvement. These plans are to be
submitted to those who subscribed to
the road fund and, II the plans are
the committee will be
to go on with the work.

Salina Union: One thing can be
said in favor of Abilene; it will have
a lot of enthusiastic and pretty girls
who will fight to a finish for that
team. A Union reporter met bunch
of Abilene girls Sunday and they
were absolutely baseball crazy. They
we're willing to bet anything that
Abilene would win the pennant.
Salina Journal: If Abilene can
put out as good a league team as 1t
has in the high school line, the
others had better look out. That kid
team is setting too fast gait for the
other teams of its class. OF course
It may be due to sommers, who will

the college players will hardly have

The Abilene management has a
new scheme. Its players will also
play in the band. Thus the league
and the band will sort of go "havers"
on expenses, making a saving for
each side.
1t will probably be pretty dull in
Mid-Kaw baseball circles now until
the players begin to report for prac-
tice. Most of the teams have sign
ed practically all the men they ex-
pect to use, for the first few weeks
of the season anyway, so the dope
writer's over the circuit will have lit
tie or nothing on which to work un-
til the practice season begins.

Salina Union: The press and
preachers only will be given passes
in the Central Kansas league. Fav-
orites will have to pay the same as
other people. The courtesy Of
pass is generally extended to minis
tiers while, because of the fact that
the press is compelled to properly
report the games, 1t is only fair that
they should receive passes. And they
give, in free writeups, a whole lot
more than their tickets would cost.

Junction City is to have a tip top
official scorer. Tom Dorm has been
named for the place by President
Hoffman, at the recommendation Of
officials of the local association. Dorm
is a thorough fan and has been
close student Of the game for many
years. He will be an unusually COM
petent oficIal scorer. Mr.. Hoffman
seems to have the faculty Of getting
exactly the right men for the oficial
posltions-and he is exactly the
right man for the place he holds.

terested In the selection of official
scorers than are the fans. The scor-
ers make up the records from which
the individual fielding and batting
averages are figured for the season,
These averages are looked to by man
ayers the country over as indicating
the class Of the players. However,
there are a few exceptions to this
proposition as a general rule. oc-
casionally a man complies a batting
average of $50 In one of the minor
leagues. He goes higher and 1t de-
velops that 225 really expresses his
a:tual batting speed. The reason is
easy. He has been favorlte with
one of two scorers in the lower lea
que class and they have been credit
ing with safe hits, when instead
some fielder on the opposing team
should have been charged with an
error. When the scoring rules are
fairly applied to the batting Of the
favorite player his average shrlnks
and he soon goes back to the brush
league in which his average was pad
ded. 1t is to be hoped that there will
be a minimum of that sort of work
on this curcuit. City I'm
