BY winning the 100-yard race Duke
not only establishes himself as an anna
teur American champion, but demon
strates that the national Olympic com.
mittee made no mistakes in selecting
him as a member of the team of
athletes that will represent the United
States in the 1912 Olympiad at Stock.
holm, Sweden.
His time of ffty-seven seconds in
last night Is race is slower by one and
one-fifth seconds than his unofficial
worlds record made last August, but
is better than any record of the recent
year on the mainland and faster than
he has made the distance in COMPETE
ton since he went East. At Pittsburgh
Duke swan the 100 yards in 81 As sec
onds, in Philadelphia 81 2.5, and in
New York 81 LIS.
This makes the fourth big race won
by Duke since he went East, and there
were number of smaller races in
which he figured, notably with the Uni
yersity of Pennsylvania IS intercolle.
giate champions. At Philadelphia he
bettered the American intercollegiate
record for the 100 yards.
Dukes loss of the 50-yard race Tues.
day night did not discourage his friends
here, for it is well known that the 100
yards is his best distance. His perform
ance at Chicago must be considered re-
markable because of the fact that he
appeared in fresh water and is a COM
plete novice in tanks, where turns are
necessary. Both amateur and profess
sional swimmers spend years in acquir.
ing the knack of doing these turns and
have made it matter of science and
skill. 1t is well known that faster time
can be made in tank swimming because
of these turns than on .straightaways.
Only since his arrival on the mainland
has Duke had experience along this
line. 1t is hardly reasonable to suppose
that he has acquired anything like skill
in the turns, and this, coupled with the
fact that his speed is slowed consider
ably by fresh water, makes his perform
ance last night at Chicago compare
favorably with the world 3 record time
of 80 4.5 in his local race last August.
Last nights event ends the national
championships, as far as Duke is con-
cerned, and the party probably win
start home Immediately. 1t is not
known here whether or not Duke will
be required to go into training on the
mainland under American Olympic
coaches before the date set for the
sailing of the American athletes for

property had large frontage on Fort
street, but very little on the harbor
front, he said. If the transports took
cargoes to Pearl Harbor, then the wa
terfrontage of the Fort street property
would be of little value to the army.
He said it might be arranged with the
secretary of war to get authority from
the President to turn this property
back to the Territory, but the reasons
for this must be made very plain to
the secretary of war. From a CONNER
eial standpoint he thought the bulk
heading scheme might be beneficial,
President Kennedy of the Inter-Island
company said that any scheme which
would provide more storage room for
freights appealed to him.
John Drew of Castle & Cooke said
that his firm recommended the bulk.
head plan. As to the Oahu Railway and
Rapid Transit lines being extended
along the waterfront to tap all govern
ment wharves he said the opinion of
his firm is these should be controlled
by the harbormaster, but that the oper.
ating and switching of cars be left to
the two traction companies.
George f. Davies favored the plan.
although in his opinion the adoption OF
the bulkhead scheme should not be con-
sidered as final.

MURRAY BALKS At
.ROADIMP ROvEMENT.
Supervisor Refuses Request of
Nuuanuites to Furnish
Money for Repairs.
(From Thursdays Advertiser

~NO'Ai ~AuNNAbioCisJ
Nuuanu Valley citizens were told
very plainly last night by Supervisor
Murray that they need not expect his
help toward any movement to complete
the Nuuanu Valley road to Puiwa Lane.
Murray fatty declared that he didn t
care whether the road went to pieces
during the next six months, for during
that time he intended to keep the road
making equipment on King street and
Beretania avenue. The rebuff to the
members of the Nuuanu Valley I'm
proyement Club was rather unexpected.
w. III. McInerny declared that the
city was morally, if not legally obligat-
ed to the Nuuanu Valley property own.
ers to complete the road, as the owners
had contributed long portions of the
their frontages to widen the street in
response to the request of the board
of supervisors. To leave the road nm.
completed at this stage will spell the
ruin of the side of the road completed,
he said, and it would also be dangerous
to users of the thoroughfare. Mr.. Me.
Inerny stated that there was no iustif.
cation for the board to withhold appro-
priations for the completion of the work
under way. The thoroughfare was one
of the tourist assets of the city and
aside from King street was the most
used road in the island.
Murray Stubborn.
No arguments moved Murray who
fatty said his policy was after work
had been carried on one road for some
time to turn his attention to other
roads and when a certain time had
elapsed to go back to the uncompleted
roads and finish them. This policy sur.
prised the Nuuanuites, and Supervisor
Dwight of the road committee, who op.
posed it vigorously, and declared he
was in favor of appropriating the
$04Oo, estimated by the city engineer
as the amount needed for completion.
Murray then said he was in favor
OF letting the work out by contract any
how, remark which brought Dwight
to his feet with the declaration that
some time ago when the road committee
proposed contract work Murray and the
rest OF the supervisors downed the rec
Ommendation.
Mr.. McInerny said he did not have
much faith in promises to return to an
unfinished road, and cited Emma street
as an example.
Mayor Fern joined with the Nuuanu.
