The Latest
In Sports
What the WrestIers, Boxers and Base
Ball Artists Are Doing.

The American Olympic committee
has put a sudden and emphatic
quietus on any attempt by athletes
or their friends to buy their way
into the Olympic team by offering
to pay their own expenses. "A un-
animous ruling by the cJmmittee
declares that the committee will,
under no circumstances, accept
money to pay the expenses of any
athlete the donor might name"
The committee instructed it's
secretary to inform clubs or others
seeking such privileges that if an
athlete is qualified to make the
team he will be selected, and any
offer to pay his expenses will have
no effect in the selections made.
This action was made necessary
because of the offers from prominent
Western clubs and many Western
universities to contribute amounts
equal to what would constitute the
outlay necessary to defray the ex-
penses of the men they would like
to name.
Battling Nelson, although still
clamoring for lone more chance"
at the lightweight title, may be

nouncement of the old battler him
self. Undaunted by his many me-
diocre showings against second
raters since he was stripped of the
lightweight crown by Ad Wolgast

still believes that he is the present
champions master, and that he
will prove it if given chance.
After one more championship fight,
he says, he will retire, win, lose or
draw, if not forced to do so before.
Nelson started fighting sixteen
years ago. His debut as a profess
sional was made in 1896 in Ham
mond, Ind, when he knocked out a
lightweight travelling with Wallace's
circus. Since that time he has pro-
badly fought more battles than any
other man living.

German
Invention
New Engine Which will Make Obsolete
Modern Battleship.

The British Admiralty has re-
ceived news from a reliable source
that a type of internal combustion
engine has been brought well toward
completion by German experts
which, if il fulfills the expectations
of its designers, should give the
German navy an immense advan-
tage in its race for supremacy
against the British, as well as other
navies of the world.
A prominent engineer who has
learned the main details of this en-
gine-which its designers have
endeavored to keep secret-said to
the Associated Press:
/ can conceive that vessel may
be designed using these engines,
which would make the latest Dread
noughts obsolete, and it looks as if
the revolution were imminent. For
such Il vessel the radius of steaming
might be multiplied by three or
four, or the thickness of armor it
would carry greatly increased, or
the vulnerability much dimin-
ished."
In one of the principal works in
Germany marine plant has been
completed, after exhaustive studies
and expensive experiments by
most able and confidential staff,
which can be destined only for use
of the navy. 1t is of $4,000 horse
power, consisting Of three engines
OF 5000 horsepower each, one to
each propeller. Each engine has
three cylinders producing 2000
horse power each, the cylinders be-
ing double acting, the explosion
occurring on both sides of the
pistons.
The incorporation of such an in
stallation in vessel means the
abolition of boilers and smokestacks,
also the saving of the space occupied
by bunkers, as the engines would
require less than one-half pound
per horse power hour, which would
mean 100 tons of oil per twenty
four hours for full power, full speed.
Any grade of crude or refined petro-
leum may be used.
During the last three or four
years great revolution has been in
progress in perfecting the reliability,
performance of duty and economy
of the type of engine. The princi-
pal problems have been to obtain
perfect combustion, to enlarge the
cylinder units, to make the explo-
sion transplre on both sides OF the
piston.
Germany has led in the study
and evolution of this engine, and is
far in advance of other countries.
The internal details of such an en-
gine are easily kept secret and the
perfection of successful counter
design by any other nation would
necessarily require long period of
experiments.
1t appears to the scientific men
who know of this work by the Ger
man engineers, that the German
navy may have profound advan-
tage over its rivals in this engine,
which apparently is nearly ready
for use. No other navy, it is be-
lieved, has advanced nearly SO far
in work upon internal combustion
engines.

Chamber Of
Commerce
Meets and Passes Resolution in Answer
to Harbor Commission.

Iic udul CtldtlUcI VI SOllilHCICC
met Wednesday afternoon in the
Supervisors Chamber. The minutes
of the previous meeting were read
and adopted. A communication
was read from Mr.. Clifford, stating
that the sum Of 81 900 had been set
aside for use in fighting the fruit
fly on Maui.
A communication was then read
from the Secretary, of the Harbor
commission and after some discus
sion resolution was adopted in
answer thereto. The Chamber was
a unit in standing behind their pre-
vious resolution regarding the Kihei
wharf, and resented the curt reply
from the commission, who evident
ly imagine they are too big to be
even criticised. We give herewith
the communication from the COM
mission and the reply of the Cham
ber of Commerce.
Honolulu, Feb. Is, 1912.
Gentlemen:-This is in acknowl-
edgement of your communication of
February 10th, together with Reso-
luton of your Body relative to the
Kihei Wharf.
In this connection 1 have to in
close herewith excerpts from the
Records of the Board in regard to
this matter; copy Of letter from the
Chairman written after his return
from Maui last week: and remarks
by the Chairman before the Board
yesterday.
I have also to inform you that
the following motion was made and
unanimously carried:
Mr.. McStocker: II would move
that the Secretary be instructed to
address a communication to the
Maui Chamber of Commerce re-
questing them to inform themselves
fully Of the conditions before they
pass Resolution, on things of this
nature; and that copy of the ex-
cerpts from the Minutes be sent
them, together with a copy of the
Chairman's letter to the Board; and
the remarks of the Chairman.
Motion seconded and unanimous
ly carried.
Very respectfully,
| EMIL A. BERNDT,
Secretary, Board Of Harbor Com
missioners.
Maui Chamber of Commerce,
Wailuku, Maui.
To the Honorable Board OF Har.
Dor Commissioners, Houoluln,
Oahu.
Gentlemen:-Referring to your
letter and enclosures of February
18th, which were considered at the
March meeting of the Trustees of
this Chamber, and laid on the table
for further consideration, l would
now say that l am instructed by
motion duly put, and carried, to in
form you that the Resolution to
which you object so strongly was
introduced on February 9Th, 1912,
after discussion ON the Kihei Wharf
matter, during which it was stated
by w. f. Pogue that he had been
informed by the Chairman of the
Board, as follows:
That the Board of Harbor Com
missioners were favorably consider
ing proposition to delay work on
the Kihei Wharf, because the ap-
preparation OF $1,000 was too small
to do anything more than make a
boat landing" or words to that
effect.
Thus threatening a delay of some
considerable time in the construc-
ton of the said wharf.

March Term Opened Wednesday, Judge
Kingsbury Presiding.


Circuit Court was begun Wednesday
morning. When Judge Kingsbury
took his seat on the bench, the
court room was filled with jurors
and spectators, all present listening
intensely to the courts instructive
charge to the jury, which was short
and to the point.
The grand jury spent all day
Wednesday and Thursday going
through the matters presented to
them, and filed their report with
the court Thursday afternoon. In
all twelve indictments were returned.
Following is the charge to the
jury:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:
We habitually enjoy the great and
innumerable benefits of our benefi.
cent laws and institutions, with lit
tie or no thought of how we come
to have them.
They are not inventions, nor are
they of spontaneous growth--but
rather are developments and fruits
of the agonizings of nations of the
highest character and culture which
in all times since history began are
the links of chain drawing to us
the best results of the greatest efforts
of the advancing peoples Of past
ages.
They have grown, blossomed and
borne fruit in the light of Eternal
Truth, rooted in the soil OF a love
Of Liberty, but not without great
labors; purchased at the price of
strenuous efforts of agonizing pains,
of sufferings and deaths innumer-
able,-the blood of nations poured
out as vicarious atonement for ma
tional sins of injustice, tyranny and
oppression, in order that we and
other free and enlightened peoples
of today may enjoy the liberty,
security and happiness offered by
the benevolent governments of our
times.
Of all the great gifts so purchased
and handed down to us by means
Of this governmental chain, none is
more precious than the Jury system.
1t is of the fulness of wisdom,
bounty and benevolence in govern
ment. AS we now undertake its
use and service, it is most fitting
that we remember its cost, its worth,
its use and its powerful agency for
our good.
Of old, it was the palladium of
liberty-protecting the people from
the tyranny of oppressive Rulers.
For us it is such 30 far as is needed /;
but with it liberty of the individual
has been so established that it is
now more especially the palladium
of the national life of a free and
self-governing people the palla-
dunn of self-existent nationality.
1t is SO truly and plainly an exer-
else of self.government by the peo-
pie that it offers no vulnerable
point for the attack If the anarchist
or government-hating class. The
birthday of the jury system after
the atonement Of the nations for the
sins of their Rulers is the first gov
ernmental Christmas.
The Jury System is in two parts:
the Grand Jury and the Trial Jury.
The Grand Jury comes to us un-
affected by the many changes and
unshackled by the many obstructing
rules and unimpeded by the many
obstacles that now pertain to the
use of the Trial Jury. These be-
came attached to the Trial Jury in
times of the recent past under diff
ferent conditions than now prevail I;
80 that if they were ever demanded,
they are no longer of any beneficial

The Theatres
The orpheum.

Probably no bill that Manager
Fowler of the Fargo Theatrical Co. has
presented to the patrons Of the Or
phepm theatre suited them so well as
that of the first half of this week, and
the bright and shining attraction is
that of Miss Minnie Palmer and her
company Of six talented young lady
musicians, who gave a concert Of
twenty minutes that was most heartily
enjoyed. 1t was artistic music, inter-
spersed with catchy tunes that called
for many a recall, the three large au-
diences of yesterday apparently not
being able to get enough.
George S. Hall, the single turn en-
~tertainer, had a good place on the pro
gramme and acquitted himself most
acceptably. Tony johnson has a new
dog show which suited young and old
alike. His dogs are well trained and
several new canine stunts were intro
duced that proved effective
Thomas & Wright have a new and

scope moving pictures and the Profess
sor Coscio orchestra, making a bill of
rare excellence.

Stella Murdoch. tired OF life. made
an attempt to end 1t all at her room
on uppe Front street near Sixth
street yesterday afternoon about $3.50
and but for the timely arrival of DR..
McGregor, would probably have been
successful.
Yesterday afternoon the young lady
who had been rooming with Miss
Murdoch came to the room and found
the latter was lying unconscious on
the bed, with a handkerchief over her
face which had been saturated with
chloroforn1.
The nearest physician was sum-
moned and after working with the
young woman for some time pro-
nounced her out of danger. 1t was
stated that she had taken some Of
the poison internally, but this proved
to be not the case She had almost
entirely recovered q few hours after
the occurrence.
Miss Murdoch came to the city from
one Of the country towns Of the
state and as she had but very little
money it 500 disappeared for her or
binary expenses. and then she went
to work In a laundry, but the work
was hard and she evidently thought
that life was not worth the living.
Her girl companion stated that she
had several times threatened to kill
herself and IN ms occasion a bottle
Of carbolic acid had been taken from
her. She ts about 20 years of age.
