afterward the big man lost interest in the
contest and the little fellow had only one

see the little man win. but he did not,

AMAZING FEATS
BY TINY NEGRO
Diminutiye COlOred Person
Fruslrates Conspiracy of
Four Bigger Men.

Four athletic looking negroes climbed
into the ring last night al the Manhattan
club when the battle royal was an
nounced. and presently. when the quar-
tette retired 10 corners tifth negro
was discovered in the center Of the stage.
He WAS SO short that the crowd AT frs,
thought he was seated and his presence
thero savored strongly OF magic.
No one had seen hlm enter tho ring,
but IL was plain the other negroes re-
scented his being there. They were 80
supple; strong and agile thai they con-
sidcrcd it a reflection on their prowess
compete with them.
The runt." rs The crowd quickly
dubbed him. seemed disinclined to leave
the center Of the ring,
''Yo all is q strange cullud gentleman
in Salt Lake." inquired the heaviest
negro and thero was menace in his
tones that the dwarf did not seem to
"Yas. ! como from Denver and "A
mighty pcart town II is answered the
small man
''Yo all is built consid'blc like Il kag
oh beer" observed another burly con-
testant in the battle roval.
Beat it while you kin" advised the
third negro.
Battle Royal Begins.
Then time was called. In a battle
royal the boxers attack one another at

flfth hitS any head in sight.
Last night tho four stalwart negroes
considered II their first duty to dispose
Of the runt. The presumption Of man
considerably less than five feet in stature
entering a battle with wellbuilt ath-
letes had astonished them a first. but
now they we're indignant. So The four
made II rush for the d!minutivc Den
ycritc.
All four struck him. but tho last two
blows caught him while he was sailing
through the air from the impact Of the
first and second blows. He landed in
into a wide and wicked grin. He was n
positive likeness for Billiken. if that
pagan God had been an African.

weight negro. bu, the little negro got

He got up angry and in the meiec that
the dwarf made the rounds,
smashing his four advcrsarlcs while their
attention was engaged elsewhere.
Then the combat waged so fierce that
the little fellows strategy passed un

a Gmasterly approach from tho rear and
laid out his man, In one instance of that
kind he put two combatants TO the floor
with successive blows.
Occasionally two or three Of the big
men remembered the little fellow and
combined against him. but by trick and

THERE IS STILL
SOMETHING DOING
IF. E. Thompson Announces That
the LeiIehua Water Fight
Is Not Abandoned.
fFrom saturday . Advertlser.l

"The report made on the McCrosson
Jeilehua Bill by the secretary Of war
was favorable one to u.s. reports
Frank E. Thompson, who is associated
with John T. McCrosson in the effort
being made before congress to secure
the water rights of the Leilehua mill
tary reservation, the presentation Of
which bill created an uproar here a
short time ago. "The report that came
to Honolulu to the effect that the Wa
hiawa company had ''the best right !"
to the water omitted a very important
word. What the secretary said was
that the Wahiawa people had the best
moral right, but that we had made de-
cidedly the best offer. That best offer
still stands, too, and there is no idea
entertained by Mr.. McCrosson of drop
ping the bill,p
Mr.. Thompson returns in the usual
good spirits, although he expresses some
feeling at the terms used by those OPP
posing the McCrosson measure, who
have publicly denounced the bill as a
"steai" and who have called McCros-
son and his associates "gumshoers"
and "speculators.
"The Wahiawa Water Company has
been taking water they do not own for
ten years and here in Honolulu kept
referring to their rights in this water.
1 notice they didn u have anything to
say about rights in Washington.
The Kau Ditch Bill.
Mr.. Thompson, who returned from
Washington yesterday and was busy
most of the day greeting and being
greeted, did not care to enter into any
particulars of the matter at issue at
present, only remarking tina there would
still be something doing.
Concerning the so-called Kau Ditch
measure, which he says is grievously
miscalled because it was not a Kau
Ditch bill but general irrigation bill,
he was more explicit.
"We dropped that matter because the
amendments proposed were such as
would have made the financing of the
Kau Ditch, which we were particularly
interested in, impossible. 1 think the
general irrigation bill, even with the
proposed amendments, would be a good
bill for the Territory, but as it WASH It
our bill and one that would not help
us in the least in our particular project,
that of constructing ditch for Kau,
l saw no reason why we should fight
for it. We notified the committee on
Territories that we would ask for no
further hearings in the matter, and let
it drop. As it was proposed to amend
it, the bill was nothing for US to worry
over, and Mr.. McCrosson agreed with
me in this.'
The Hawaiian gazette., 1911-02-07
WOULD HATCH
ACCEPT POST
ON THE BENCH?

Considerable doubt exists in some
quarters whether Judge Hatch would
accept the appointment of chief justice
of the supreme court if it were offered
him. 1t was only recently that he in
formed Honolulu friends that he would
not be in position to consider any
such an appointment, and it is not as
yet known definitely whether he has
changed his mind or not.
In view of this, those of the bar as
sociation who have been canvassing for
him, have more or less openly an
nounced their intention of throwing
their support to Federal Judge Robert
son as second choice. Judge Robertson
is regarded as being eminently fitted
for the position and can unquestionably
get the bar association support if J1dge
Hatch is out of the running
Judge Cooper will have some consid-
cradle backing in the bar association,
but it is altogether unlikely, Judging
from the preliminary canvass made,
that he would have a majority over
either Hatch or Robertson. Cooper,
however, has many strong friends at
Washington.
AS yet, although the matter has been
before the public nearly twenty-four
hours, no one has named any successor
to Judge Robertson, should he leave
the federal bench for the supreme
court.

American horses are entered, has been
postponed.

SIDEWALK OWNERS
INTERESTED HERE

The arrest of nine offenders against
the statute forbidding the riding of
bicycles on the sidewalks, yesterday,
by Officer Abreu, has developed a legal
twist that might be an uncomfortable
one for a certain county ordinance
dealing with expeetorating.
While the nine offenders were all
charged under an innocent section,
number 627, there is stuck away in an
odd corner Of the Revised Laws an
other statute saying that the property
owners facing a sidewalk can com.
mence suit and collect five dollars dam
ages from the offenders for trespass.
TO BIZ exact, the statute says: "Any
person using a sidewalk with
mule, horse or team, or who shall drive
wagon, bicycle OF other wheeled yehi'
Gle on such sidewalk, without permis-
sion Of the owner, shall be liable to the
owner in the sum Of Eve dol.
lars for each tTespass
The police are now wondering IL
when they arrest some one for splitting
on the sidewalk fronting his own land
