| nunciation of newspaper influence in
connection with the fight over free
print paper legislation in the last ma.
| tional campaign was made by former
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, in his Wig
orous speech in the house yesterday
in connection with his opposition to
the Canadian reciprocity bill.
There has been a good deal of talk
about the price of print paper, good
deal of talk that has run over several
years." said Mr.. Cannon.
THE committee on ways and means
of the sixtieth congress, when John
Sharp Williams introduced his free
print paper bill and it went to that
committee by an unanimous vote as
am informed, postponed action for that
session of congress and did not even
hold a hearing on it.
Il was speaker. They unloaded lC
on me. We had stormy time. News
paper publishers thrfngh their repre-
sentatives, one Of whom | shall name,
Mr.. Herman Ridder, demanded that
should do what never had been done
before in the history of the republic
that l should recognize Mr. Williams
or somebody else to rise in his place
and move to discharge the commit
tee from further consideration of that
bill, which they had postponed for that
session, and by the time the next
session would come, the presidential
election would be over"
Mr.. Cannon said he replied he could
not do it, that it would not be just to
his party.
What happened?" he continued. Il
was informed in the presence of wit
nesses that if the republican party did
not promptly put print paper upon the
free list, that great and good man who
headed the Publishers association, Mr..
Ridder, would support Mr.. Bryan for
president and contribute $4,000 to his
election. We did not pass it. When
the time came Mr.. Ridder was made
treasurer of that committee and
guess he gave you boys on the demo-
cratic side $4,000, did he not? The
newspapers say so and l have never
seen it denied"
When last fall the democrats swept
into power, in the house, Mr.. Cannon
said he looked about for some means
tof defense and introduced bill Great
ing a special committee to investigate
the print paper question.
81 appointed that committee and
Mr.. Mann headed it. The criticism
from one end of the country to the
other, by resolutions passed by the
Associated Press, by denunciations in
the newspapers, was wholly against
me for that action.
The committee made an honest in
vestigation They found a deficiency
of 50 ton between the cost of pro-
duction in Canada and in the United
States. 1t was a unanimous report,
the democrats on the committee con-
curing"
Mr.. Cannon said the house adopted

where there was compromise be-
tween Sc, which was the law, and So
the amount in the house bill, of 1915
The difference between the tariff
board and Mr.. Mann's special COM
mittee was that Mann said 50 would
represent the difference and the tariff
board said $414 would represent the
difference.
"In this bill you reject both of them
under this treaty, and let it in free"

N OF Dead in Fire.

Chicago, April 2O.-Three persons
supposed to have been burned to death
in a fire which followed an explosion
last night at the wholesale liquor
store of Joseph Morici & Co., were
reported today as having left the build,
ing safely. Morici and his partner,
Peter Misuracek, whom the police ar
rested for alleged suspicious actions
during the fire, had each loaded re-
volver when taken into custody. Moth
ing was found which confirmed theor-
les that the explosion resulted from a
black hand plot or had been caused
by safe blowers.

Representative Slayden of Texas, one

MARCH TO Be A LIVELY MONTH
FOR COLLEGE SPORTING EVENTS

Next month will be a noted one for
college sporting events, for no less
than four field and track meets are
scheduled to take place. Three are
dual meets, while the fourth, which
will conclude the series, will be a tri.
angular meet in which the Oahu Col
lege, College of Hawaii and the Ka-
mehameha School will compete.
The teams to represent the Oahu
College, or Punahou, and Kamehameha
are already in training, while the boys
from the College of Hawaii will set
tie down to systematic work on Mon
day next.
The first meet will be that between
the College of Hawaii and Oahu Col
lege on March 4th, and it is antici-
pated that there will be some very
keen contests. The Oahu College has
a lengthy list of athletes to depend on,
and though the College of Hawaii have
fewer in number, they have all last

was played in Honolulu that the news
that one will be arranged between H.
M. S. Kent and the local club will be
received as good news by those inter-
ested in the English national game.

quite long time, but this is the

Is desired, cricket games are not ex-
pected. But the players are now com.
ing out of their retirement and as soon
as arrangements to that end can be
completed a match with the sailors
from the Kent will be arranged. The
match will be played on the Makiki
Field and will serve to open up the
cricket season. Other matches are in
sight for the Honolulu eleven, and ii
is hoped that another team may be or
ganized to play right through the sea

SPORT S
BASKET BALL
SERIES At Y.M.C.A.

The most one-sided game yet played
in the Y. NJ. G. A. basketball series
was that which took place last night
in the Associations gymnasium be-
tween &c" and %" teams, the former
team winning by &c points to a. The
winning team inflicted this crushing
defeat on its opponents by playing a
star game, in which Marcallino and
Biart shot baskets from all conceiva-
BILE angles. Bill Rice played a star
game at guard for the winners.
1t was not generally known that a
game would be played last night, as
originally no games were set down
for that cate, but in order to get the
competition out of the way and to per-
NIT the students to train for the col
lege fieldmeets, it was decided to re-
arrange the Gates. Thus last night
&c" and %" met, and on Monday
evening &c" and &C" will meet, while
the two last games of the series, in
which &C" and "E" and "B" and %"
meet will be played on Thursday next.
That is, of course, providing there is
no tie.
AS the competition stands at the
moment &C" team is ahead, having
won each of it's matches, but both e.
and "a" are only a point below, with
two wins and one defeat. On the
showing made by CO. last night it is
expected that &C" team will have a
very hard tussle on Monday evening.
The &C" team is captained by Honon,
who was in last years first team, and
has made good so far. In addition to
meeting e." the leading team has
yet to meet "a team, captained by
Ben Clark, and there is also a strong
possibility that the tables will be turn
ed on it in this match. AS matters
now stand &C" team must win both
matches to win the series; winning
one and losing the other would put
&C" team level with the team which
beats it in the next match; losing both
would put "a" and &c" team level
for the championship. Therefore un-
less &C" wins both games an addi-
tional game must be played to decide
the series.
The lineup for last nights game was
as follows:
"E" Team-Forwards Marcallino
and Biart; center, Kuhns; guards
Rice and Garden.
| D"Team-Forwards, Dwight, Klein
me and Maby; center, Cotterilli
guards, Bum, Maby and Dwight.

At THE THEATERS
Family Of Artlsts al Rllou.

Such scene was presented at the
Bijou last night as falls seldom to the
lot of the Honolulu theater-goer. The
Columbians put on a show that en-
dured for a satisfactory period and
was one continuous delight from the
rising of.the curtain even unto the go
ing down of the same. Lanita, the
youngest Columbian, ten years old,
charmed in her clever approximations
of prima donnas, and her "Yama va
ma Man" stunt was applauded to the
echo She is a toe-dancer of the
first water, young as she is, and a
whole show in her delicate prettiness
and wonderfully winsome manner.
Her two sisters, mother and father
are four other excellent acting treas
ures. The dancing of the minuet is
pretty and fascinating in the extreme.
Comedy enters to a large degree in
the scene between Caro- Miller, who
IL papa Columbian" and Lew Pistol.
Pistol should be better named Re
volver, for he is constantly turning
the fun and popping it out like the
crack of a pistol. Then he has silent
comedy, he and Miller, and they both
pop the silence with their pantomimic
wit. It is uproarious, teasingly funny.
Moving pictures, Of course, and
good ones.

TENNIS GAMES
FOR WALL CUP

The competition for the Wall Cup,
which is now held by Anterior Rich
ards, will be commenced on the Bere-
tania Clubs court on Wednesday
next. The competition is confined
to members of the Beretania Club and
entries will close on Monday next at
five O'clock 1t is expected that there
will be a large entry and that the play
will be of a high standard, as the
leading players of the club are in good
form.
Athcrton Richards is playing very
well, while A. L. Castle, c. H.
Cooke, r. A. Cooke and M. A.
Novel; who will probably be
the back-markers in the tourna-
nent, are also handling the racquet
well at present. The tournament is a
handicap event and will be played
each afternoon from Wednesday next
until it is completed, play commenc-
ing at $3.50 Or later each day.
Visitors to the club will be welcom-
ed AMI arrangements for the comfort
of spectators will be made. The club
louise has Just been treated to a coat
of paint and by the time the tourna-
ment is started it will present a very
cheerful appearance. The courts are in
fine condition and generally every
thing is favorable for a successful
