DECISION HAD NO EFFECT
ON AMERICAN SECURITIES
BY Associated Press.

London, May 30.-The decision OF
the United States supreme court hold
ing the American Tobacco Company
to be a combination in restraint of
trade and monopoly in violation Of
the law had little effect on American
securities today and prices opened a
fraction higher. The cut in steel
prices put United States Steel shares
below parity but these losses were
partly recovered by noon.
New York buying of Canadian Pa
cific shares caused a squirt of 3 points,
while Union Pacific jumped 1 Ia.
The rest of the market hardened IN
sympathy. At noon the market was
steady with prices ranging from 2 ga
aboev to IL below yesterdays New

May Start Criminal Prosecutions
of Members of Tobacco Trust

differ somewhat from the Standard OH
case. In the latter, Attorney General
W1ckersham said that no criminal
prosecutions were under way but de-
clined to say positively that none was
contemplated. Certain questions re-

involved are very delicate ones.
Sentiment in favor OF amending the

of the law instead of only ''Inreason-

several senators today as perceptibly
reduced by the decision Of the supreme

Tallahassee, May 3O.-The house con-
current resolution. providing that the
legislature of 1911 shall adjourn sine
die on Friday, the End day of June
at II noon, was passed today. This
measure is an innovation on the prac-
tice Of this body during the past sew
eral years, midnight having been the
hour of adjournment. At least, mid
night was supposed to be the hour
but, by some Sigular coincidence, the
clocks of the capitol, together with
watches of the members, have always
refused to run on schedule time that
last night, and the citizens say that
midnight at the state house always
came at least two hours later than in
the city. Perhaps midday will this
year come somewhere along in the af-
teTnoon.

THE FINAL CAME

L. M. Judd fought his way to the
final game in the Castle cup tennis
tournament yesterday by defeating R.
Sinclair three sets to nothing. Each
set was taken by Judd by the sub
stantial margin of five games, for Sin
clair could not hold his own against
this player, let alone concede him
the handicap he was asked to do.
However, Sinclair was not playing in
his best form, though even had he
been it is difficult on the play to see
how he could have broken even with
Judd. 1t was late in the afternoon
when the match commenced but
as the sets were finished with speed
there was plenty of time to bring the
match to a satisfactory conclusion;
satisfactory, at least, to Judd.

Y. NJ. c. A. WON A
STRENUOUS GAME

After a strenuous game of basket
ball, in which the Y. NJ. G. A. players
had the better of matters in the first
half and even play characterized the
second spell, the home team won out
against Kalihi last night. The game
was the fourth of the series between
the two teams and now both have
won two matches, each winning the
games played on it's own floor The
fifth game will be arranged within a
day or two and will take place on neu-
trail ground, probably at Palama.
Last nights game was decided in
the first half, for the Association boys
got early in the game and ratified up
twenty five points, while Kalihi could
only score eight. The second half
was marked by much closer play,
each team scoring ten points, so that
the final scores were thirty-five to
eighteen in favor of the Association.
The game was not at all free from
fouls, most of which were of tech
nical nature, however. Each team was
penalized fourteen times and off the
Kalihi fouls the Y. NJ. C. A. team
scored seven points while Kalihi
scored six points from the penalties
against the Y. M. G. A.
Altogether fourteen goals were
thrown by the Y. M. c. A. boys, of
which Clarke made six, Bechert five,
Mott two and Honan one. Kalihf
retted five goals, O'Sullivan throwing
four and Ledward one.

SOCCER PLAYERS
SEEK PRACTICE

This afternoon on the Makiki Field
bunch of association football play.
ers will gather round about five
o'clock to indulge in practise prepare
tory to arranging a team to visit Maui
on the 18th inst Already, o. p
Soares, who is managing the trip has
list of players ready to take the
field against the Maui players, but a
series of practise games in order to
permit the players to get into each
others style of play is an essential.
1t is hoped that sufficient players
will be on hand this afternoon to pro-
vide a scratch game, but in any case
a match will be arranged for Satur-
day afternoon between the team for
Maui and the best available men. The
Maui aggregation is not the best that
Honolulu could put up, but it is the
best that could be obtained to make
the trip. If the selected team is able
play together in only a couple of
matches the result will be beneficial
to them and will probably strengthen
the team considerably.
Individually the men are all right,
but as a team much is required of
them and they need all the practise
they can get. A general invitation to
all soccer players to turn out this aft
ernoon is made; the more the mer-
rier.
The team will leave for Maui on
the Claudine on the 10Th inst, arriv-
ing at Kahului next morning. After
the game the team will proceed to
I.ahaina and catch the Mikahala on
the return trip, expecting to get back
to Honolulu early on Sunday morn
ing.

Keen Competition in National
League.
The keenest struggles, however
are taking place in the National
League, as will be seen from the
table appended The battle between
the Giants and Philadelphia is one
of surprising interest to the follow
ers of the game.
AT the close of play on the I'd inst,
Philadelphia headed the league with
a percentage of .S13, representing
thirteen victories and three defeats,
while New York was on the .643
mark, with nine victories and FIVE de.
feats. Since then, however each
team has played six games, but
whereas Philadelphia has only bro.
ken even with three each way, New
York has won five and drawn one.
Daily the two teams drew nearer
each other until yesterday they
crossed paths, New York taking first
place with 1856, and Philadelphia
going into second with 1877. Phila-
delphia is now closing a series with
Pittsburg and will then cross bats
with Cincinnati, following on with
Chicago and st. Louis. New York
is now at home to Chicago, after
which she will meet st. Louis, Pitts
burg and Cincinnati.
It is a point worthy of note that,
with the exception of yesterdays
victory against Chicago, New York
owes its position entirely to victories
against Boston and Brooklyn, having
seven wins against Brooklyn and six
against Boston, and four losses to
Philadelphia. Pittsburg is maintain
ing her place on the table, or rather
is slightly improving, while there has
been very little difference in the rest
of the teams during the week.
The table in this league is as
under: - ~;
