SIX DAYS OF DEPRESSION
ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE

Honolulu Amusement Co. 70 fit up the
theater lately built at Schofield Bar
racks. In the daytime the place will
be used for a roller skating rink.
Three cables about the sugar tarin
were received from different sources
yesterday, and each gave a different
bill ss the one that would probably
pass the Senate.
A firm in New York and one in Ber-
lin, together with the Offices OF the
two local English dailies, put in bids
for printing the 1913 carnival poster
The bids were referred to Secretary
H. p. Wood and B. Won Damn by the
Hawaii Promotion Committee. The
Berlin firm has written that it is for
warding poster design made by the
best artist in that line in Germany.
II may be here in time for the 1914
competition for a design.

The investment demand for securi-

ing materially subsidized Foreign Mar
kets as well as our own show
symptoms of congestion, following re-
cent enormous security issues, and it
Is satisfactory to observe that there
has been at Ieast a partial cessation of
the latter. The present outlook in
this market is for moderate activity
with limited fluctuations in either di-
rection. Intrinsic conditions continue
sound and encouraging; so, while the
tendency at the moment seems toward
lever prices, there is no reason to an
ticipate any sharp break in the mar
ket. Good investment securities may
still be purchased with confidence,
and the timidity now having its foun-

afford shrewd buyers a better oppor-

OF all the poltlcal disquiet there still

that the administrative affairs of the
nation will be safe in the hands of
whichever candidate the people may
decide to select next November.

Tobacco Items.

Tobacco Items.
A late Washington dispatch says:
indications point to the rejection by
the House Committee on Interstate
Commerce of the proposition of the
Department of Agriculture to place
tobacco under the pure food act. The
startling declaration OF DR.. Wiley dur
ing the hearings that he considered
Ecorice in tobacco as an adulterant,
and the inference being that the pure
food board would so rule as mis- friends
are on that board, will, it is believed,
influence the committee not to include
tobacco in the pure food law.
1T is understood that although be
introduced the bill which places to-
bacco under the pure food act, Repre-
sentative Richardson, of Alabama
chairman of the subcommittee, is in
clined to eliminate the provision now
and it is believed the subcommittee,
will strike out this provision. 1t is
certain that the full committee viii
follow the report of the subcommittee.
1t is the hope of those interested to
have the bill reported at this session,
but is is not intended to take it up
this session. .
The following is a clipping sent
without credit of origin to the Star
bulletin:

SWEEPSTAKES

NOME, Alaska, March 27.-Few en-
tries have been received for the 1912
All-Alaska sweepstakes, the great dog
race of the North, which will be run
next month over the 412-mile course
from Nome to Candle and return. The
only contestants in sight are A. A.
(Scotty) Allen, driver of the dogs
owned by Mrs. Charles e. Darling of
Berkeley, CAL; Charles Johnson, Alex
Holmsen and possibly Bleachford.
Holmsen will drive Colonel Sir James
Ramseys team of Siberian wolf
hounds, taking the place of John John
son, the famous dog team driver who
mas always handled the wolves and
who is marooned on the Siberian
coast. Johnson went to Siberia late
last fall to get dogs for the race and
was left stranded when the ice NOV
ing down from the Arctic drove his
schooner back to the American shore.

TOGO AND MANAGER ROBINSON

Eddie Robinson, manager of the
Japanese phenomenon, Young Togo,
and the man who brought Carl Morris
out, writes to the sporting editor of
the Star as follows:
Several months ago l promised my
family and Togo that l would give
them a trip to the islands, as my wife
is very DESTROYS of seeing that country
and Togo is anxious to see his brother,
who lives there, and as he has been
in constant training for the past four
teen months, with a record of twenty
five knockouts and two draws in that
period, l feel that the little fellow is
justly entitled to a breathing spell.

boxing in Honolulu He may take a
well-earned rest instead l regard it

OLYMPIC LIGHTS
WON'T SHINE

NEW YORK, March 23.-George
Bonhag, distance runner, and Fred
erick Thomson, all-round champion,
may not compete in two of the chief
events of the Olympic games at
Stockholm next summer because they
are scheduled for Sundays.
Both athletes have religious scru-
pies against Sunday games and it is
said that Bonhag may decide not
to contest in the 1000-meter run sche-
duled for Sunday, July 7th, while
Thomson may not take part in the
pentathlon on the same date and five
events of the decathlon on Sunday,
July 14th.

ent absentee from the Olympic games
this year will be John ]. Flanagan
who won the hammer throw at Paris
in 1900, ST. Louis 1904, and at London
in 1908. Although the veteran has
been throwing as well as ever, he
will not be able to go to Stockholm
on account of the death of his faith

AS TO LIVING HIGHER.

There are men and women in Ho-
nolulu who are prone to blame the
butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker for the cost of living
which from all accounts is higher
than it was fifteen years ago when
as matter of fact there are so many
diversions to take the money from
the wage Garner that when it comes
to necessities the kick comes also
whether the prices are higher or not.
The management of Haleiwa is charg-
ing the same prices as were charged
the first day the hotel was opened
and the cuisine has in no way suffer
ed from the extra cost of materials
without proportionate increase in
the rates. The o. r. & L. trains
will take you to the door.

TENNIS IS REMARKABLE EXCEPTION
TO ATHLETIC RULE OF YOUTH

San Francisco Chronicle: OF ali
games lawn tennis appears to afford
the only exception to the rule youth
will be served" Youth takes a back
seat on the tennis courts and age
and experience combine to hold the
upper hand. Though this game calls
for the agility of youth more strongly
than any other sport, the veterans
appear able to offset this quality
which is plainly against them with
craftiness and stroke control, which
can only be acquired through long
terms of hard practice.
The cracks of yesterday are the
cracks of today. and they continue to
calmly brush aside the younger aspir-
ants, seemingly saying mot yet" and
forbearing to even add but soon" The
Larneds, Clothiers, Wrights and Lit
ties, who were making tennis history
in America ten years ago, have been
able to block the Behrs, Touchards,
McLoughlins and other phenomenal
players of the younger set from the
first place. In England it is true
that Wilding, the champion, is only
about thirty years Of age, but he is
veteran player, having won his first
important tourney in 1898.
His English championship was won
in 1910, when the old English veter.

ans, II. L. and r. F. Doherty, A. II.
Smith and F. II. Risely had all retired
from play, and in the last two years
he has retained his honors with con-
siderable difficulty, not from young
players, but from Dixon, Barrett and
Gore, the latter of whom is forty-four
years old, while the other two are
each close to the forty-year mark.
In Australia, Brookes ten years ago
was the leading player, and he has
maintained his supremacy ever since.
Even sectional championships have
been generally held by experienced
players throughout America. The Pa
cific coastn is the oe section in which
youth has frequently succeeded in top
ping the old-timers from the place
of honor.

Johnson laughed and babe his

INGLE OF HILO DRAWS
WITH STURDY TOMMY NJ FARLAND

George Ingle, the Hilo lightweight,
who obtained a couple of decisions
over Ben de Melo and who boxed a
number of contests in the Rainy City,
is doing good work with the gloves in
San Francisco and is iustifying the
good opinion of him frequently ex-
pressed in these columns.
Ingle writes to the sporting editor
of The Star as follows:

as a probable investment in allowing
the little fellow to completely relax
while down there.
"He has made a wonderful reputa-
tion for himself in the past year and
has added greatly to his bank roll
during that time, and if he never
fights again he will not need to worry
as to where his chops. are coming
from.
Togo may fight in San Francisco
before we sail for the islands, which
will be on May 16.
Several newspaper men will be in
the party when we sail. They are
from various parts of the country and
are all old friends of mine"
Young Togo is twenty-one years
old, feet 10 inches high, and when
in condition weighs within the ban
tam limit. He has met boxers of all
weights and has yet to be defeated
His last performance was with Bat
Ting Nelson, with whom he fought a
six-round draw.
So well did he perform on that oc.
casion that negotiations were entered
on with a view to matching him with
Johnny Coulon, the worlds bantam
