Honolulu s seventeenth annual Re
gatta Day is now matter of history
and it must 90 down as the biggest
and most successful ever celebrated in
Hawaiian waters.
No greater interest has ever been
shown than was exhibited in the nu-
merous and exciting rowing and other
events of yesterday. From purely
local affair of former times, the day
this year assumed a national aspect for
the first time, and the coming years
will see this come more and more true
in the best sense of the word.
The presence of the celebrated row
ing crew from Alameda, California,
reputed TO be the best and fastest on
the Pacific Coast, added increased in
terest TO the day. Mrs. Desch's entry,
in a special race with Miss Stacker
of Honolulu in the thirty.yard swim,
won by the local young lady, attracted
femininity in greater numbers than
ever as spectators of Honolulu's big
annual aquatic day. The fact that
Mrs. Desch, known as the Pacific Coast
woman swimming champion, lost to the
Honolulu entry was in itself sufficient
compensation to local pride for the los,
of the main rowing event to the cracl
crew of the Golden West. In more
than one sense Honolulu and Califor
MIA broke even.
Thousands Out to See.
The whole waterfront was lined wit
thousands upon thousands of men
women and children of all stations an,
classes in life; the rich and the poor
old, middle-aged and young, choere
and waved their favorite colors side b.
side. The lighthouses were paeke
with people in holiday attire, as wa
the Channel wharf and other wharve
along the waterfront which command
cd view of the race course. OceaI
going and coasting steamers, launche
and boats of all descriptions by I'll

Even the Rapid Transit peop
awoke to the occasion and put a c'

Murder Of Roosevelt
Attempted at Milwaukee

following day when the daily papers
reached the people containing a
lengthy account of the shooting.
1t appears that political crank,
John Schrank of New York City, had
been following the Colonel for the
past two onths for the purpose of
killing him, and that the opportunity
to commit the crime did not present
itself until Monday evening when he
met the Colonel in front of the Kill
patrick Hotel, just as he was leaving
for the Auditorium where he was
scheduled to give an address.
Schrank approached the automobile
and fired, the bullet striking Mr..
Roosevelt in the right side and pene-
trating to depth of about three
inches. No vital organs were touched
by the bullet and the report is given
out that Mr.. Roosevelt has every
chance of recovery unless infection
sets in.
For sometime after the shooting
Roosevelt did not know that he had
been injured and after he discovered
that he had been hit he insisted that
he 90 and deliver his address, which
he did, speaking for more than an hour.
After his address was finished he was
taken to the hospital where an ex-
animation was made and the
physicians gave out the report that
the wound was serious one and the
Colonel was rushed to Chicago where
he is now at the Mercy hospital.
Latest reports are to the effect
that the Colonel is getting along
nicely and will undoubtedly recover.
He has been compelled to give up his
speaking tour and will not likely
appear again before the people during
the present campaign.
The reason given by Schrank for
the shooting is that Roosevelt should
not run again for the presidency and
that he had a dream in which he was
impressed that it was up to him .tes

Alfred BeauSoliel Meets Sud-.
den Death Monday
Fell From Ladder From
Which he was Painting.
Almost Instant Death.

Alfred Beausoliel, a resident of
this city for the past twenty-seven
years, was accidentally killed last
Monday just before the noon hour
when he fell from the roof of the
engine room at the Washburn Steam
Laundry, landing on the top of the
coal box, receiving injuries which
caused almost instant death.
Mr.. Beausoliel was standing on a
step ladder on the roof of the engine
room and was engaged in painting the
main part of the building. 1t is
supposed that i'm reaching over to
paint the ladder tipped over, causing
Mr.. Beausoliel to fall. He landed
across the end of coal box, landing
squarely on his breast, causing
internal injuries that caused his death
within few minutes after the fall.
Doctors were called Immediately
after the accident but nothing could
be done for the unfortunate young
man.
The funeral was held this morning
at nine o'clock from the St. Louis
Catholic church, Rev. Father w. Al
Beaudette being in charge of the
funeral services. Interment was in
the Catholic cemetary.
Alfred Beausoliel was born in
Alpena, Mich. and was SO years of
age at the time of death. Twenty
seven years ago the family moved to
this city end they were among the
early settlers. Alfred was well
known throughout the city and was
well liked by all who knew him.
He is survived by mother, two
sisters Mrs. Ed. White and Miss
Mary Beausoliel, and two brothers
Napolean and Albert. The family
have the sympathy of all in their sad
bereavement.
