costly building, containing a gymna-
stun that was designed and built by
men of note who were representing
some one of the largest and widely
known construction firms and who
did not have the least conception of
what a gymnasium was intended for.
And quite a number of the Associa-
tions that possess such buildings are
working overtime trying to devise
some scheme to overcome the seri-
GUS mistake made by influential,
laundering committees; and the mis-
take referred to that Is causing more
anxiety than they wish to admit, is
the building of one immense room
that was intended to serve for a
Glass or Apparatus room and Athletic
Game Hall combined, and, which has
failed to produce the desired results.
There are only two ways to remedy
that mistake, the first is, to employ
one or two assistants to help the
Physical director (Which many have
been compelled to do) and the sec
ond is, to remodel their buildings,
such a thing they do not dare to men
ton for fear of showing their ignor-
ance and short-sightedness while en-
joying an inflated reputation of being
long-headed, conservative men. or
course none of them are going to
come out flatfooted and admit it, for
ninety men out of hundred have not
the moral courage to admit their
mistakes. Nevertheless they are
feeling the mistake and cannot help
recognizing the error just the same
and, if do not make a bad guess,
the Honolulu Association Is not go
ing to make any such mistake.
We must keep in view the fact

proven to be the most important with
some of the large Associations in the
states.
The three trouble makers or mis-
takes made by many of the Associa
lions are: 1st., poor heating and
ventilation; End, improper arrange
ments of the water pipes, and 3rd.,
inattention to the details, in CON
structing the athletic section of the
building.
The first mistake referred to, will
cause little or no trouble here, the
second, needs only the simple sug
gestion that we insist that the hot
water pipes shall not be placed

that all the pipes shall be, too large

They then headed for Sandusky in the
Parsons, which was due there at six
O'Clock in the evening.
While all this was occurring on Lake
Erie, Cole was in Sandusky with his
plans designed for the party that
would call practically all the officers
on the Michigan and on Johnson Is
land well away from their posts of
duty. They were supposed to start
on the merry-making jaunt from San
dusky in the afternoon Cole and
young Wilson waited for the tardy
guests. and finally Cole, becoming i'm
patient, said to his companion:
IT'S strange that these officers
haven't come ashore before this. You
go off and see what's keeping them"
Wilson shook his head, obviously.
They wouldn't be likely to come for
me" he said. you had better take a
boat and go yourself"
Cole, who usually dressed in dark
attire, was wearing suit of gray. He
discussed the matter of going over for
the officers with Wilson, who walked
down to the dock with him, and said:
Here's a boat belonging to the
Michigan, now. Go off in her and get
your men, and I'll go with you"
Cole, following out his usual extrav-
agant methods. handed a ten-dollar
bill 10 the coxswain of the crew and
told him to take the boys to the near
est bar for drink. All went except
the boat-keeper, who waited with Cole
and Wilson. and James Hunter, an of
ticer of the Michigan, who was ashore.
When the crew returned they willing
ly pulled off to the Michigan, lying
three miles off Sandusky. About half
way out, Cole, who seemed to have
presentiment of trouble. changed his
mind about going to the ship and re.
auested the crew to turn back.

came known as G. C. Beal. One week
after Cole arrived at the West house
young man registered there as John
U. Wilson of New Orleans. He was
none other than Murray, who had
taken this means of scraping an ac-
quaintance with his quarry. In the
course of few days Wilson met Cole
casually, as guests staying at the
same hotel are apt to meet, and they
drank together and became quite in
