ALL WAS NOT STAKED
ON FIRST PERFORMANCE
Duke Kahanamoku's Chance Is
in Shorter Distances Next
Wednesday.

According to cabled dispatches, Duke
Kahanamoku and Vincent Genoves will
take part today in the national 500
yard swimming championship at Pitts
burgh. When Duke left for the main
land it was not his intention to enter
this race, but the eagerness of the
boys has undoubtedly led them to put
forth every possible effort to make
good. This attitude has no doubt been
increased by the unfortunate result of
Thursdays race when Duke was taken
with cramps in the 220-yard dash.
To local followers of the Island
swimmer, this news was a great sur
prise. Duke has never before been
troubled with cramps and has never
suffered from any physical disorder
when up against competition. AS to
handling himself in the water, he has
practically lived in it all his life. 1t
is the opinion of many of his friends
that Duke was i'll from the long, hard
trip, or that he was suddenly taken
with some intestinal disorder.
The temperature of the water could
hardly be considered at fanlt, for in
tank swimming it is always kept fairly
warm. -,
The events in which Duke expected
to make good when he left here were
the 50-yard and 100-yard dashes. These
will be held in Chicago next Wednes-
day. Unless his indisposition is seri-
GUS one, he will no doubt be afforded
considerable opportunity to get into
championship shape for those events.

STRIKERS FIGHT
PITCHED BATTLE
WITH THE POLICE

LAWRENCE, Massachusetts,, Febru.
airy 26.-Strikers and their sympathiz-
ers yesterday afternoon met the police
in a pitched battle, and drove the Of
ficers in utter route through the streets.
The strikers were armed with clubs and
stones. The situation was saved by the
arrival of the state militia, called out.
some days ago by Governor Foss.
During the fight the police used their
clubs to little effect, although number
were seriously hurt. With the arrival
of the troops, the mob dispersed, but
not until their leaders had forced
promise from the city's officials that
the expectation of children would be
stopped. This of late has been the
chief trouble in settling the strike, al
though the condition of the youngsters
is pitiable.

BUDDHISTS PLAN
GREAT TEMPLE
Japanese Will Raise a Hundred
Thousand Dollars for the
Hongwanii Mission.

Believing that the presence of sixty
or more thousand Japanese Buddhists
in the Islands warrants q house of wor.
ship for them competent with their num-
Der, plans are now being laid for a
new Hongwanji Buddhist temple to
costs 100000 1t is to be constructed
if possible, with funds raised among the
Japanese of that faith. According to
the present program $4,000 Will be
raised each year for two years, build
ing to then commence and the balance
to be raised while it is in the colrse
of construction.
The Rev. Imamura of the Hongwanii
mission is the moving spirit and has
planned the entire proposition and
placed it before the Japanese commun-
ity. A veritable storm of comment,
pro and con, has been evoked and it
stands today the chief topic of argu-
ment in the Japanese community.
At the present time the mission has a
splendid building on Fort street which
has in many ways become the center
of the literary life of the local Jap.
anese rs well as their most important
spiritual center. Classical interpreta.
tions and lectures are of frequent oc-
currence there and 1t has filed an ex.
ceedingly important place in the Jap
anese community.

Community Split.

That community is now split on the
argument that this Importance should
be recognized by 100000 temple
The Japanese newspapers have taken
the matter up, the three most important
taking different sides. The three-cor-
nered argument that is now being wag-
ed is furnishing most of the present
excitement.
The Nippu Jill went on record when
the proposition was first advanced as
bitterly opposed to it, arguing that
not only did the Hongwanji temple not
warrant the outlay of such sum but,
that if it was to be raised it would
seriously effect economic conditions as
far as the Japanese merchant commun-
ity was concerned. The Daily Chroni-
Gle which is considered an organ of
the mission, promptly took the other
side of the case and attacked the Jill IS
stand on the ground solely that the
temple of the Hongwanji Buddhists was
worthy of so great an attention from
worshipers in that religion.

Shinpo Aloof.

The Hawaii Shlnpo did not step into
the editorial ring until it was accused
by it's contemporaries of being on tho
fence at which it came out and pro-
nounced both the other parties to be
wrong. 1t then retired to regard the
increased velocity it had add to the
storm.
The Shinpo took the stand that
the Jill was wrong in declaring that
economic conditions would be effected
as there would be no perceptible eff
feet on Japanese business. The money
would stay in Hawaii, wlureas great
sums now left the Territory anyway.
After celebrating on this pount it
declared that the Chronicle was wrong
in stating that the 100000 temple was
nothing but competent wit, the dig
ity of the church. The Shinpo contend
ed that while it was proper for the
sixty thousand Buddhists to raise $780,
900 if the few Japanese Christians
could raise $4,000 for new church.

POINTER HERE FOR FARMER
One Good Thing, at Least, That He
May Place to the Credit Of
the Auto.

Tho farmer may not venerate the
automobile. but he must admit that.
although the automobile teaches 9TH
ers extravaganza. 1t has taught him
q very valuable lesson in economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice. or
aphis, overrun and destroy plants and
how the sole protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
ders more or less costly.
But Of late years farmers have no
uced that. while all the plants in field
or garden were covered with aphis.
all the roadside growths. white with
dust from flying automobiles. had not
q single aphis on them.
Hence an experiment. Turnips. peas
and cabbages were coated with ordi-
nary dust instead Of costly powder.
Result, disappearance Of all insect par
asites.
Tho automobile, in a word. has
taught the farmer that dust, which
costs nothing. will protect his plants
from plant lice and other pests Just as
completely az the most expensive
powder can.
