GUARDSMEN TRY
To MAKE TEAM
FOR BIG SHOOT

In the anticipation of eventually be-
ing selected as member of the rife
team which will represent Hawaii dur
ing the annual shoot at Camp Perry,
Ohio, from August Is until August 30,
every member of the National Guard
of Hawaii who is eligible to compete
for a place on the team turned out
with rife and kit yesterday and par
ticipated in one of the two very sue
cessful practice shoots which were
held during the day, one at the Fort
Shafter range and the other on the
Kakaako field.
The trials practically marked the
beginning of the rifle competition
which closes June 5, and which will
result in. the picking of twelve prinCi-
pals who will compose the Hawaiian
team. A number of coed records are
reported to have been made on both
ranges, and in the opinion OF Major
w. R. Riley, better results were OBJ
tanned yesterday than at any preced-
ing meet of which he had a recollec-
tion. Many of the guardsmen, shoot
ing over the 600 and 1000 yards
ranges, made as high as AZ out or a
possible so, while others made in the
neighborhood of 45 and 46. Out at
the Fort Shafter range the new meth
cd of fire, called the surprise 200
yards, was tried out and proved to be
successful In this method the guards

TWO CIVIL SERVICE
APPOINTMENTS MAY
BE HELD INVALID

A serious question of whether two
appointments tentatively made by
Mayor Joseph Fern as members of the
Civil Service commissio mare valid,
in. view of the provision of the or
ganic act prohibiting a member of the
legislature being appointed or elected
to a territorial office during the time
for which he was elected to serve as
a legislator has been raised, and the
question has been submitted to the
attorney general for his opinion.
Both of the appointees so far
named, Senator A. J. Wirtz and Re-
preventative Kupihea, are members of
the legislature. The point upon which
the opinion of the attorney general
will turn is whether such a commits
sion is TO be construed to be one "of
the territory of Hawaii" or whether
being municipal body with local
jurisdiction, it is exempted from the
provision of the organic act.
The opinion will probably be hand.
ed in late this afternoon or tomorrow.
