MORSE UMPIRES
CONVICT BASE BALL
One Time Banker Sees First
Game in Many Years,

Within the gray walls of the Allan
"a, Ca, federal prison on Sunday was
a hodse of baseball fans cheering wild
ly at the hits and misses of two oppos-
ing base ball teams, but singularly
guarded in their roofing, as if they
feared the silent men who stood close
by with guns.
The players were in uniform, but
not the knickeTbockers and spiked
shoes of the usual teams. They wore
the blue uniform of first grade men
convicts in the prison, whose good be-
havior had entitled them to certain
privileges, and it was the first game
of ball on the new diamond laid out in
the big field within the newly COM
pleted wall.
Behind the batter, as umpire, stood
Charles w. Morse, ex-millionaire bank
er and steamship magnate, serving
fifteen-year sentence. He moved heav-
lily about, though evidently enjoying
the fresh air and exercise, and seemed
to have forgotten none of the fine
points of the game he used to love.
AluOu6 Tic pay VI NAO wv
"choose-up" nine were Lupo, "the
Wolf" a notorious Black Hand man,
sent from New York, and Edward Val
entine Lee, alias Carmichael, the
thieving paymaster's clerk of the bat
tleship Georgia, who was recently
caught in Buffalo.
On the improvised grand stand were
Christopher C. Wilson and F., x. But
Ter, of wireless" fame, who recently
began their terms in the prison, and
a dozen others, whose names have
been feared in the underworld or bla
zoned in high finance.
| Warden Moyer built the base bal
diamond and introduced the game a.
part of his policy of treating convict
humanely and getting as far as posi-
BILE away from the old solitary eel
and whipping post idea.

LIVELY BUDGET OF The
Won HAMM--Y YOUNG CO.

The Won Hamm-Young Company re-
PORTS business unusually good in all
departments this week. There has
been plenty If activity "A the sales
department, as may be seen on the
honor roll, which includes six names
The great decrease in the cost of
up-keep is impressing more and more
people, and the tact that an automO-
bile is a necessity rather than a lux
ury is being demonstrated more fore
IDLY all the time. There was a time,
several years ago, when an automobile
owner was continually hunting a
garage, and if he did not visit re-
pair shop ct least once a week he con-
sidered himself very fortunate. To-
day conditions are entirely different;
there is not one-tenth the trouble with
the machine, os formerly; road trou-
BILE is on a very rapid decrease, and at
this stage of the game an automobile
is within the reach of most anyone.
Take, for instance, a Hupmobile run
about. A prominent man stated the
other day that he had been running
his Hupmobile for about a year and
had covered seven thousand miles
He stated that he was still using the
original tires which came on the ma
chine; his gasoline and oil bill was
very nominal, and he had visited re
pair shop but twice. This is merely
one instance among thousand others
which could be quoted without any
trouble.
The Cadillacs are as popular a:
ever, and a new shipment is expected
by the Won Hamm- Young Company il
a week or ten days, most of which are
sold to arrive. The popularity of the
Cadillac seems to be the same the
world over, as reports indicating as
much come in very often from Eng
land, France, and even Australia.
Mr. Crozier, who is the Auckland
agent for the Cadillac, passed through
Honolulu this week and reported tina
the Cadillac is the most popular ca
in his territory. He also reported tina
the Cadillac is the one car in his ter
ritory which requires but very littl'
garage attention.
The honor roll this week consists
of the following:
Mr., George Wilcox
Mr. NJ. Il. Silva.

machine will certainly be a very great
addition to the equipment of the ex-
pertinent station and will not only
save them money, but great deai Of
time in getting abcu, to the different
plantations.
Mr.. E. E. Dodge of the Won Hamm-
Young Company returned this week
from a ten-days' trip to Hawaii. In
speaking of conditions on Hawaii, he
claims that the outlook is very bright
for plenty of business in the near flu
ture. The island is very well equipped
with machines at present and the IA
Cilities and supply stations are Of the
best. The vast amount OF rain which
has fallen has certainly put the roads
in a deplorable condition. Just as soon
as they are put in good condition The
automobile roster will no doubt be eX-
tended by a good many more ma
chimes. There are plenty of good rent
machines on Hawaii and they are
working at an exceptionally reasonable
figure
The Packard is very popular ma
chine on Hawaii and those which are
on the island have been doing very
good work. One machine which has
: been in the rent service there for the
: past three years is running just as
we'll and develops just as much power
5 as it did when it was brand new. This
!, machine often makes two and three
t trips to the volcano in a single day
and is in commission all the time.
e Two Cadillac owners were inter
/ viewed during this trip, one of whicl
L stated that his repair bill for the pas
y six months had been so cents, and tn
n other $3.50. These are certainly yer,
e wonderful records when one consid
IT ers the roads over which these ma
II chimes are used and the number 0
e miles which they have travelled il
this short space of time.
N News was received last evenin
u from Ahuimanu to the effect that tn
- three-ton Packard truck, which be-
II longs to Mr.. P. NJ. Pond, is haulin
II pineapples from the dock to the car
y merry In counting up one of thei
'e average loads, it was found that tn
le machine was carrying four and a ha
y tons. The car is doing wonderful

CHALMERS $50" TAKES GLIDpEN
TROPHY

All doubt Of the right of the Chal-
mers Motor Company to the possess
sion of the Glidden Trophy has been
set at rest by a decision of Justice
Marean of the New York Supreme.
Court, dismissing the action brought
by another contestant to set aside the
award # the trophy to the Chalmers
$50" No 3.
Frank E, Howes, manager of the
Associated Garage, local dealer for
Chalmers cars, has just receveived a
definite announcement of the decision
which settles the Glidden Tour con-
troversy, and leaves the Chalmers
go in undsputed possession of the
trophy, and of the laurels it won in
: the longest and hardest touring CON
test ever held.
1t will be remembered that, at the
close of the tour, the referee, in spite
OF a protest by the Chalmers COM
pany, awarded the decision to the
Premier car. The Chalmers company
protested this decision before the con-
test board of the American Automobile
Association on the ground that the
Premier car had carried in the tour
other than regular stock equipment
under the rules.
This protest was sustained by the
contest board, and the Chalmers go
declared the winner of the tour.
An application was made by the
Premier company for an Injunction
against the delivery of the trophy to
: the Chalmers company. This was re
g fused and the prize was delivered to
t the Chalmers company. Plaintiff then
}, carried the case through for trial on
: it's merits.
d The action came up for trial before
4 Justice Marean of the New York SUI
g preme Court on April s. Three days
d were consumed by the taking of tes-
}. timony and argument of counsel.
/ After several adjournments at the
L request of plaintiff, the action came
e up for decision on June 26, on which
II date Plaintiffs attorney consented to
It the dismissal of the action without Of
t. fering further evidence.

Stevens is doing excellent work.
Another Stevens-Duryea car was
sold to Mr.. S. Kurahawa of Maui

SWEEPSTAKES CO
To THE CADILLAC

The CT" that had the highest scores
ana won the most prizes in the Little
Glidden tour in Iowa was a Cadillac
curing car, driven by d. s. Kruid-
enier, the owner, This car had a per-
feet score in the technical examina-
ton, which is the real test of a car
after a reliability run.
Thus the Cadillac won the trophy
for its class, and the sweepstakes
prize, because it was the only car
which showed perfect scores on the
road and in the hands of the techni-
cal committee. In addition to these,
Mr.. Kruidenier also won the owners
prize, which was hung up for the
most conspicuous performance of a
car driven by an owner.
While this recorG was being made
over Iowa roads, other Cadillac cars

When you think that each one of
these trucks can do the work of sew

excessive stable costs and unneces-

the great economy without taking the
increased business into consideration.
