age Of these immigrants are unable to
read and write, their children learn
quickly in the public schools after their
arrival, and, in view of the racial con-
ditions in Hawaii and the Importance
of increasing the Caucasian population,
il is highly important that, if congress
should apply a literacy test to immi-
grants, Hawaii should be excepted.
The conditions which might call for
such test on the Atlantic Coast do
not hold for Hawaii. Immigration as.
sisted by the Territory consists princi-
pally of selected agriculturists in fami.
lies. Legislation should be enacted by
congress also to prevent Caucasian i'm
migrants assisted to Hawaii by the Ter
ritory from proceeding from the Terri
tory to the mainland unless they can
conform to the immigration laws in re-
srect of literacy and unless they reim-
burse the Territory for the expense of
bringing them to Hawaii. AS it is, a
large proportion of the immigrants thus
brought from Europe apparently take
advantage of the assistance offered by
the Territory merely to go from Europe
TO the Pacific Coast, thus, at the same
time, taking an unfair advantage of
the territorial government and evading
the spirit of the federal immigration

Needed Legislation by Congress.

Inc Governor leads his recommends
tions under this head by an appeal tor
the elimination of the Territory from
the provisions of any immigration legis-
lation that imposes literacy test upon
newcomers. He says:
Legislation by congress, if any
should be enacted imposing literacy
test upon immigrants, should except
from the test Caucasian immigrants to
Hawaii. The reasons advanced for such
test in the case of European immi.
grafton to the mainland do not apply
to such immigration to Hawaii. The
former is largely of self.selected single
men, while the latter is almost exclu-
sively of government selected agricul.
turist families, whose children, as expe.
rience has shown, quickly become edu.

example, for it shows the style at its

NOTED BASEBALL MAN
DEAD AT ST. LOUIS
Chris Won der Abe Spent His Money
Like Water During His Prosperous
Days Long Ago

st. Louis, June Chris Won der
Abe, owner of the old st. Louis cham;
pion ball team of 1SS5-SS, and years
ago one of the best-known baseball
magnates in the country, died at his
home here yesterday.
Won der Abe has been seriously i'll
for two months. Death was caused by
cirrhosis of the liver and dropsy. He
was 81 years old. He was born in Ger
many and came to this country in 1870
The eccentric German sprang into
fame in 1881, when he bought major.
ity of the stock in the st. Louis Base.
ball Association for $500. In the fol.
lowing year he made $4,000 from the
investment. When the st. Louis club
joined the old American Association,
Won der Ahe's Browns became the IA
nous four-time pennant winners of
1SS5.6-7-S. His luck lasted for eight,
his last winning club being that of 1891 ,
which finished second in the American
Association. In 1892 he entered the l2-
club National League, but his teams in.
variably finished last or next to last
until 1899, when SpOrtsman's Park
and club were sold to satisfy the de-
mands of Won der Ahe's creditors.
In his prosperous days Won der Abe
spent water like money. His chief de.
light was to out-spend and out-drink
other prosperous men. He bought cham
pagne for everyone that walked up to
the bar in which he happened to be
standing. The last few years have been
lean ones. A little saloon he maintained
hardly brought in enough to keep him.
Old-time baseball friends contributed
regularly to his living.
