morning the daughter, Berndath, aged
six years, was taken with the disease
and she died Wednesday evening. The
funeral of the little girl was held this
afternoon, Both children were buried
at the family plot at the Polish ceme-
terry. i.
A number of cases of scarlet fever in
this virulent form are being reported
to the health department and the most
vigorous possible steps are being taken
to prevent the spread of the disease.
The officials are badly handicapped on
account of the fact that in some of the
eases the presence Of the disease is not
discovered until few hours before the
death of the children. The Vilker fam
lily have another little girl but as yet
she has not been taken with the disease.
Several new cases of scarlet fever have
been reported in the city but a majority
of these cases are Of a very light form
of the disease.

I would be available. The war game
is governed by hard and fast rules,
which must be observed carefully If
any real good is to come of maneu-
vers. In real warfare a man is down
and out when he has bullet hole
through his anatomy, but when blank
ammunition is used, questions of
range. exposure and other things
must be considered. In the first place
there must be no doubt as to the
identity of bodies of troops that may
get contact, and every noncombatant
must wear a badge of designation, SO
that no shots will be wasted on him.
1t is also necessary for the umpires
to call for a cessation of hostilities
at frequent intervals, in order to
make their rulings.
General Macomb, who will be di-
rector of maneuvers and chief umpire
as we'll, will probably establish head.

Campbell, adjutant general of the de-

field, so that with. the exception of the
Engineers and Coast Artillery, all the

a hand in the war game.

Not Properly CARRIED for Func'

in Tropics

Two of the chaplains at Schoield
Barracks, Chaplain Pruden of the
Second Infantry and Chaplain Feinler
of the First Infantry, are taking a
leading part in a controversy which
is being waged by army clerics
through the columns Of several SER
vice journals.
Chaplain Pruden is the authorized
representative of certain chaplains
who desire changes in the uniform,
and nave petitioned the War Depart
ment to authorize the same. They
believe that the uniform for chap
lains is not diversified enough to be
suitable for all occasions, and wish
more latitude in the way of dress No
sooner was this petition made public
than another faction took the field,
violently opposed to any changes at
all, and even favoring still less in
sigma of rank and office, and, in fact,
everything pertaining to the military,
on the ground that it was a hindrance
to gaining the confidence of the en-
listed men.

BEDIENT Is Y0UNGSTER
WITH SPLENDID RECORD

Hugh Bedient, the Young Red Sox
pitcher, who, by holding the Giants
to three scattered hits has almost
cinched Boston's claim to the worlds
baseball championship, Is the young
est member of Stahls pitching staff.
and is serving his first year Of major
league ball.
A year ago last spring he was
taken with the Boston team on its'
training trip to the Coast, but was
handed over to the Providence club
of the then Eastern League before
the season was started. At the lat
Ter end of the season he was traded
to Jersey City, and the Red Sox man
agement had to hand over five play
ers to get him back this year in the
Boston fold.
After attracting widespread atten.
tion by pitching twenty-four inning
game against the Cory (Pa.), team
for his own home team at Falconer,
". Y, striking out forty.two men in
the contest, he was secured by the
Fall River club of the New England
League, coming from there to the

CONKLING SAYS
BUSINESSMEN
MAY need DEsHA

That the commercial bodies of Ho-
nolulu and Hawaii should make haste
slowly" in arriving at determination
to select someone other than Dele,
gate Kuhio's private secretary to rep
resent them at Washington, D. c., is
the opinion of Territorial Treasurer
Conkling.
+ He recalls the fact that the one fea-
ture which made Geo. Nick. Mcclellan,
Kuhio's former private secretary. val
liable to the commercial bodies as
their personal representative at the
national capital, was the very fact
that he was officially representing the
Delegate. In such capacity he had the
privilege of the House, to approach
any member at any time, no matter
what business might be under consider
alton, and to enter any and all com
mittee meetings.
Should someone other than the Dele
gates private secretary, now Jack
Desha, be selected by the business in
tcrests to represent them at Washing
ton, he will nave no official standing
iE official circles and have little oppor-
tunity to confer with oficia1s except
es a lobbyist, pure and simple.
AS this is a topic bordering on po-
litics, Conkling declines to discuss it
further or make any suggestions as to
how it may be remedied. 1t is mere
ly a problem, he says, that is up to
tie commercial bodies of the Territory
to consider, and which should require
some serious and deep thinking.

in Mortified silence, Rose narrated
how he had hired the gunmen through
