Matty has fallen below 500 per cent In
only one year Since 1903 his mark has
been well above COO each season. His
record In 1906 was below that Of this year.
He has shown no more indications Of in

three less victories.

Full of Confidence

John ]. McGraw, manager OF the
Giants was plainly confident last
night concerning the outcome OF the
worlds series, but, following his Gus
tom, he refused to make a prediction
or venture an opinion. He did say
however:
"My men are in fine condition, and
know that they are ready to give GOOD
account of themselves. Further than
that, they have had the experience OF
worlds series. and that means some
thing. We gave the Athletics hard
fight in Eve OF the six games last faii'
and I do not think the Red Sox are any
stronger. II as strong"
Jake Stahl. manager Of the Red SoN,
was not inclined to talk when ne
reached here last evening from Bos-
ton. but reiterated some of his pre-
vious statements by saying:
my team has played consistent base
ball in winning the American League
remnant, and will play consistent base
ball In winning the worlds series. be-
lieye that my pitching stan is the best
in the country, and everything else being
equal, this will count. Gardner Is fully
recovered from the injury to his finger,

INITIATIVE FOR
A CITY CHARTER
Civic Federation Opens Cam
paign to Secure Modern Sys-
tenn of Government.

Decisive action was taken by the ex.
ecutive committee of the civic fedora
tion at meeting held in the public
service rooms, yesterday afternoon, for
presenting to the people of Honolulu a
plan for new city charter containing
provision for government by elective
commission. The action taken by the
federation is the first gun in the cam
paign for a modern and progressive re.
form in city government in the adop-
tion of which all citizens, irrespective
of party, can take part.
Believing that it is within the prov
ince of the civic federation to take the
initiative in arousing public sentiment
along lines for the betterment of the
city in non.partisan sense, President
Arthur Smith appointed a special com
mittee of three, consisting of A. l..
MacKaye, chairman, and Prof. w. A.
Bryan and j. NJ. McChesney, to make
the preliminary arrangements for a
mass meeting of citizens at which
speakers versed in the lore of govern
ment will explain in a lucid manner
Just what government by commission
and the direct primary means for a city
like Honolulu, where the problems are
many ana intricate.
1t is proposed to increase the mem
bership of this committee to embrace
oth the principal parties, as well as to
include representatives of the import
ant associations, for the purpose of
drafting a plan for consideration at the
mass meeting, which will be expected to
name committee to place the matter
before the legislature in the most prac
teal form for tn needs of the city.
Governor Frear and Doctor ScuddeI
have been the ones who have aroused
/ public interest Mt this time, and Presi
dent Smith of tie civic federation, aS
well as the members of the executive
committee, are in unanimous accord
with their views as to the absolute
necessity for immedinte action in be
| half of new citv chaltcr. 1t is the
( idea of the federation 70 assist in arous
| ing public attention to its need anC
help in any practical way possible tt
carry it to n successful issue.
! The civic federation recently took F.;
( vote of its members in regard to th'
question of government by commission
and the responses were overwhelmingly
in favor of the modern idea of an elect
i've commission, in which the mayo
would be one of the commission IL
which responsibility would center.
However, as to the final constitution
of the proposed charter, this will be ;
matter in which the federation pro
roses to invite the assistance of all will
ing to put their shoulders to the wheel
and once its form is decided upon and
as for as possible, Endorsed by the PEG
nile the federation will use all the in
fuence of its five hundred members t.
help the good cause along, irrespective

SUPERVISORS RE TURN
BILL FOR CORRECTION
TiCkled to Find Apparent Error
in One of Evangelical
Association.
(Mail SPECIAL to The Advertiser.)

(Mall Special TO The Advertiser.)
HlbO, November 1.-THE board of
supervisors and the Hawaiian Evan
gelical Association have clinched again.
The County Fathers are highly indig-
on the part of the Evangelists to do
the county out of $4S.
The matter was brought up through
the receipt of the following letter to
John X. Kay, county clerk from Theo.
dore Richards, written on October ..
"On or about June 18th, we wrote
you n letter concerning the Honomu
school rent. There has no money come
in on this account since the payment

siderable discussion about this matter,
and the board ever since has been oc-
supying that building. 1t is probable
that no other body save ourselves
would have been treated that way,
and on the other hand, possibly few
beside ourselves would permit further
occupancy of the building Please do
not understand me, however, as for

part.

To GET ON A
BUSINESS BASIS
Democratic Leaders Discuss
Few Plans for City Govern
mont in Coming Period.

"Discussiug matters informally with
a view to getting the government Of the
city down to business bass, said l..
L. McCandiess yesterday, in response to
a question as TO what the Democrats
are doing. "Of course, the matter of
the municipal administration is in the
hands of the mayor and the supervisors,
and ANYTHING that we might do or dis.
cuss is merely advisory - he continued.
~ do not believe that any taxpayer
will object to the elimination of un.
necessary features in the city's admin
is tration, We have been hearing for
a long while that the taxpayers want
business administration and, If we can
get one, we intend to do it. At the
present time there is much unnecessary
duplication in the work of the various
city departments and we are going over
the situation with view of seeing
where profitable combinations of depart
ments NAV be effected. We want to sys'
tematize the government. That's mod.
ern development and progress, and we
Democrats want to show Honolulu that
we are both modern and progressive.
"Any talk that we are out seeing
where we can cut salaries is bosh and
circulated only TO make trouble for us
at the start of our administration. We
are doing nothing, as ] say, except in
formally discuss matters in order that
we may have some constructive ideas TO
lay before the supervisors, and the last
thing we are thinking of is cutting sal.
aries. If we once get the city on n
business basis we can increase salaries
and still leave the taxpayers ahead. We
may abolish certain Offices, of course, if
we find that they are unnecessary.
Governorship Party Matter.
Mr.. McCandless was asked about the
status of the governorship matter and
agreed with The Advertiser that the pc.
dignity to be scrambled after.
"The one thing claim about the
race for the governorship, he said, "is
that whoever may be appointed should
have hack of him the endorsement of
the party. ] believe that should go
without saying. Heretofore, the matter
of the governorship has not been made
party one. 1t has been more of a
business matter, and the ones who have
been consulted heretofore have been the
business men and not the party men.
Take Governor Frear's case, for in.
stance. Do you suppose he could get
the endorsement of his party for reap.
pointmenti He could not, yet he is to
be reappointed.
-"Now, we believe that that system
is wrong. We believe that the gov
ernorship is a political appointment and
should be made from the political stand
point. We intend to make a party mat
ter of it.7'
Charter Revision.
Mr.. McCandless said that he had not
given any particular thought to the
question of charter revision and was not
prepared to express any opinion on the
question of the advisability of the
adoption in Honolulu of the government
by commission system.

Commissioner Wakefield Gets
Executive Session of the
Harbor Board.
IS 1T PIPE LINE MONOPOLY

On motion of Commissioner Wake.
field, the harbor commission went into
executive committee of the whole yes
terday afternoon in an effort to arrive
at some understanding with the Asso
siated Oil Company as to the use of
the pipeline which the Territory has
built at a cost of some $4,000 and
which the Associated Oil Company is
only willing to use if no other company
is granted the same privilege.
In making thu motion for an execu.
tive session, Commissioner Wakefield
said he thought some private arrange
ment could be made which would be
satisfactory to all concerned.
The harbor commissioners authorized
the exchange of harbor land with the
inter-Island Navigation Company,
whereby the latter obtains ingress to
the site of the proposed floating dry
dock at the foot of the Bishopstreet
Shp.
President Kennedy agreed to an
amendment to the resolution whereby
the harbor line and land thus secured
by the navigation company, shall revert
to the Territory whenever the company
ceases to use the site for a drydock.

Commissioner Wakefield seized the
opportunity to ask Lows opinion to
the plans of the commission to fix a
tariff for the use of government
wharves on the other islands. Low was
of the opinion that tho government
ahould derive revenue from these
wharves, at least sufficient to pay for
repairs and the interest on the money
invested, but thought that the charge
should be laid on the freight to be
paid by consigners or consignees.
