and one of Honolulu 5 best known

off a woulibc highway robber, while
with the other she guided the automo-

possible danger and brought it to a
halt while attention was given to the
capture Of the man who had sprung Oh
the running board of her automobile
while it was proceeding at speed OF
about ten miles an hour along King
street near the Palama FIRE station.

Miss Ward is duly appointed Off.

that \. G. Robinson, her cousin, was

As the car was passing Bates ran
onto the street, shouting "Stop! Stop! -
As he did so he sprang upon the

complaint that will probably result in
sending Bates to prison. The young
woman did not show the least trace OF

have been issued by Carranza and the

FAMOUS YACHT
CASCO MAY BE
NNEXT RACE

That the old schooner yacht Casco,
in which Robert Louis Stevenson Wis
tied Hawaii years ago. may be an
entry in the next trans-Pacific race, is
the latest bit of gossip for the deep
sea amateurs.
The Vancouver News-Adyertiser of
recent date says:
One of the largest yachts ever fit
ted out in British Columbia will be
the fast schooner Casco. anchored
during the winter off Deadnnan's isl
and, which is to be placed in COM
mission during the next few weeks
for cruising during the coming sum-
mer. Mr.. ]. Sydney Smith, of the
Atlin Fisheries, Ltd, of Prince Ru-
pert, who purchased the craft last fall,
intends TO fit the trim little schooner
with new suit Of canvas and all the
incidentals required to make her COM
Portable and up to her old-time beauty,
when she Wps used by the late Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson in the south
seas.
1t Is expected that Capt Buckholtz,
enc Of the best-khown sailing masters
IN the North Pacific. wiz be ct the
helm of the craft, whose owner stat
ed his intention recently Of entering
her in the next Honolulu race from
Los Angeles, or San Francisco. during
1914. The Casco is known to have
all kinds of speed and was designed
and constructed by Turner, of the bay
cities, who built the schooner Lur-
line, which won the Honolulu race
three times.
The Casco is a trifle longer and
leaner than the Lurline, and in run
ming down the trades to the Hawai-.
ian islands from this coast would
give the San Diego craft the closest
race she has ever experienced. The
casco has q loftier rig, despite the
fact that she spent several years seal
ing in northern waters. That the
Gasco may receive a challenge for. a
match race from one of the big
schooner yachts down the coast dur
ing the coming summer is probable
ity, when it is learned that she is
going to be placed in commission.
The schooners Lurline, Martha,
Marian, Seafarer, Lady Ada, Bonita
and several other yachts of large size
below the border have. all competed
WIN each other The Seafarer Is fast
ii light airs, but the Lurline appears
to hold the speed when the wind
blows. The Casco has always been
in distant waters until she became a
sealer, and since she is again to be
used as a yacht it is quite possible
that a race may be arranged in San
Francisco waters, where the Caseo
will probably be taken on a voyage
this summer.

FOURTH CAVALRY

MATERIAL

Especial Star Bulletin correspondenceI
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, April g.
The call has gone out for all candi-
dates for places on the Fourth Cavalry
regimental ball team to get into uni
form and to appear for practice the
coming week. Already number of
old hands at the game, well known in
the regiment. have been getting into
trim, and several of the recruits who
have shown class in the inter-troop
series now on, have been told to re-
pert. 1t Is bit too soon to announce
any permanent lineup for the cavalry,
as the candidates have had no prac-
tice together, but few of the likely
candidates are 1st Sergeant Mathews
of E Troop, Kerby of + Troop and
Cakes of G Troop, who are aspirants
for pitching honors. Sergeant De Shaw
of 3 Troop, though he is at present
nursing sore hand, will probably
play short. There is q catcher in r
Battery of the Artillery named Row
nosh, who has made application to e
Troop, who will probably do the catch
ing, and this arrangement will release
Glamath of / Troop for third base.
Glamath is a good catcher, but the in
field is his place, and the cavalry team
will be considerably strengthened by
the change. Sergeant Donaldson is
mentioned for the initial sack, with
Touhy of X Troop for second. There
are several candidates for the outfield
and prominent in the bunch are Far
rfer Dowd Of E Troop, Smock of the
machine gun platoon, and Meis of H
Troop. ..& e.. -.
