NO SHOOTING GALLERY
I'M Y. M. C. A. BUILDING

That there will be no shooting ga
L ley installed in the Young Men
Christian Association building was the
decision handed down yesterday at
ernoon at special meeting of the
house committee of the association
which is composed of r. j. Pratt,
chairman; F. G.. Atherton, George
Guild, c. B. Ripley and G. r. Frazier
The lack of sufficient space for such
feature is given as the reason.
When the matter of installing a
shooting gallery in the association
was first taken up some time ago, L
was Thought that less room would be
REQUIRED than is actually needed. AIT
er an investigation it was found that
space Is feet wide and 80 feet long
would be required, which makes IL
impossible to install the feature In
the place chosen. The matter, there
fore. has been indefinitely postponed.
but il is likely that the gallery will
be installed at some time, either III
the yard or on the roof.
The matter of assigning rooms Ill
the dormitory was also taken up a.
the meeting, and it was voted that
preference in electing members to the
dormitory should be given to the
younger men who come to the CITY
for the first time and who have neith-
er homes nor large amount Of funds
This plan would make the dormitory
q real home for the young men VINO
are strangers in Honolulu.
The committee again recommended
10 the board of directors that an cleo
trio sign be placed on the Hotel street
SIDE of the building, considering tina.
the name which is already on the
luilding is not conspicuous enough,
and that an electric sign would serve
the required purpose both day and
night, helping the association to at
tract the newcomers. 1t was the or
iginal plan of the building committee
tn install such a sign. but in trim
ming down the equipment TO fit the
iuIds on hand at the time. the sign
could not be cons adhered.

JUST HAD TO PAY
THE MESSENGER
N 0 RE

Always philanthropical Senator Ma
kekau,. the bright and shining legal
light of Hawaii's finest district, sprang
to the rescue of the attaches of the
senate this morning, only to find his
benevolent intentions blocked by the
parsimony of other members of the
upper house. He managed, however,
to secure salary of five dollars a day
for the senate messenger and an in
crease in the pay of the chaplain. who
every morning for the space of thirty
seconds communes with Heaven in be-
half of the solons.
The fat started to fry when the
senate took up the consideration of
the report of the accounts committee
relating to the salaries for the at
taches. The committee report set the
pay of the clerk at $12 per diem, the
assistant clerk at So, the sergeant-at-
arms at So, the messenger and janitor
at So.
Hardly had the report been read by
the clerk, when Makekau jumped to
his feet and proposed to amend the
report and resolution by submitting a

parliamentary law, thing abhorred
by the Hawaii solons arose, and a
sharp little conflict ensued. When
the smoke of battle cleared away
President Knudsen announced that
the senate would take up the question
of salaries one at time, beginning
with the highest amount suggested
for each place, and going on down
the line John Wise was the first
victim, as clerk of the senate. Make
kau's resolution would have paid him
SIS per diem. the committees but ST..
A show of hands cut his pay to $12,
with which he will have to grub
along as best he may, helping out his
meager stipend with what little he
can profit by handling the journal of
the senate at the rate of seyenty-five
cents typewriter page.
The assistant clerk came in for q
good word from Senator Coke, who
declared that his duties and response
bilities are but little less than those
Of the clerk and therefore should be
with salary hardly infer
ior TO that paid his superior. He failed
to persuade the rest of the senate. and
the assistant will receive SIS per day
with slight rake-off on the journal.

And the Explanation Is That
Lyman Was Given Wrong
One to Introduce

A queer mixup has brought two di
rect primary laws, amanating from the
same source. into the house within
one week.
Attorney w. T. Rawlins was ask.
ed by the Republican legislative steer
ing committee to draw up a primary
bill in accordance with the G. o. p.
platform. He did so, and in the pro
cess accumulated stack of bills and
information a foot high on his desk
down in the Judd building.
Just before the session opened, the
Republican committee parceled out
among the various legislators. the bills
that had been prepared for introduc-

taken at their face value. According
to several Bourbon members OF the
house, deep sea soundings Of Demo-
cratic sentiment toward the governor
were made but the lead failed to touch
satisfactory holding ground and the
factional bark continues to drift.
To leave metaphor for bald state
ments of fact, the affair was this. Led
by the Hawaii hui in the house the
anti-Frear men planned to introduce
a resolution expressing confidence in
the administration and asking for an
investigation of the whole house and
senate into many of the charges made
by the delegate. The faction is not
strong enough to carry the matter
through successfully by its little lone,
so Democratic assistance was sought
The scheme of the Kuhio men was
to get the Bourbon support needed by
the promise OF support on many moot
Bourbon measures. This would have
worked out well, for with the aid Of
the Democrats they could have passed
their resolution and once more opened
up the long standing feud.
Unfortunately for them the Demo-
Gratis declined to nibbIe at the bait.
and Bill Sheldon and the other Ha-
wall representatives argued and
pleaded in vain.
The attitude of the Democrats as
expressed by one Of them this morn
ing, was that I'VE are expecting to get
into power up stairs soon enough as
1t is, and even If we were not we be-
lieve that 1t would be bad politics to
form combination with a factious
minority that can help us little IL any
in real fight, should one come up
after awhile as we anticipate.

There was little difference of opinion
as to the sergeant-at-arms' pay. He
will receive five dollars per day, but
when the senate came to vote on the
pay of the messenger, down on the
committee schedule for three dollars,
there was a split. The vote stood
seven to seven, and President Knud-

with a slight smile, voted for the
larger sum as set forth in the Make

TO SIGN CIVIL BILL
President Wilson Says He
Fayors Sundry Measure.
Congress Demonstrates 1T
Wants 1t, He Says.

Washington, May 10-President
Wilson told some of his callers re-
Gently that he would sign the Sundry
Civil bill as it passed the house and
senate, but strong pressure is being
brought to bear to induce the presi-
dent to change his mind.
Mr.. Wilson's own friends and ad-
visers are divided on the issue and
have told him they side with Presi-
dent Taft, who vetoed the same meas
ure because he regarded as class leg
islation the provision in it exempting
labor unions and farmers organiza-
tions from prosecution with funds set
aside for the enforcement of the Sher-
man Antitrust laws.
The impression that came from
some of the presidents callers was
that while he would sign the bill, it
would be with a protest outlining his
objections to attaching of any such
legislation in the future to supply bills
The president is reported to have
taken the position that inasmuch as
the house has passed the bill three
the senate also has approved it twice,
mination of congress to enact the bill.
1t also was stated at the capitol by
those who have discussed the subject
with the president recently that he
does not feel any principle of sub
stantive law is involved by the exemp-
ton clause. which is effective only for
the short period of the appropriation,
and that If labor unions or farmers
organizations violate the antitrust
laws, they might be prosecuted with
other funds

DEATH in MINES
Accidents Cost 1902 Lives i'm
Year 1911.
Serious Injury to S62-S9
Widows, 129 Orphans.

Washington, May 10.-Accidents in
quarries, coal mines and metal mines
of the United States during 1911 re-
suited in losses of life to 3,602 men out
of the 1,005,2S1 men employed. The
bureau of mines, which since it's es-
tablishment has endeavored to pro-
mote safety and efficiency in the
mines and quarries of the country, has
just issued its first summary of quarry
accidents. 1t shows 18S men were kill
ed during 1911 out of 110,954 men
employed, making the death rate 1.69
per thousand. In coal mines 72S,325
men were employed of whom 2,719
were killed, making the death rate
3.73; in metal mines 165, ,979 men EN-
ployed, 695 killed, making the death
rate 4.19.
Approximately one-half of the
deaths in and about quarries were due
to three causes in the order named:
Explosives, falls or slides of quarry,
material, and falls or slides of over
burden.
Accidents resulted in the serious in
jury of 862 men, or 7.77 per 1000;
slight injuries 4,52S or 40.81 per 900.
The statistics were collected from
1920 quarries in which 110,995 en-
ployees worked, an aggregate of 25,-
325,094 days developing s149,541,722
in products. The men killed left SO
widows and 129 orphans.

SHAWNEE CASE OF Bee ADAMS
Montgomery Sheriff Exceeded
Authority in Selling Liquor.
Actual but Not Exemplary
Damages Against r.. R.

The 1911 law which says that a per-
liquor law may be sent to the peni-
tentiary, is constitutional and may be
enforced, according to the decision to-
day in the case of the state against
F. NJ. (Bee) Adams from Shawnee
county. Going still further, the court
held that the fact that a man con-
victed of selling liquor before the new
felony law became operative may be
considered in evidence in determining
whether the defendant is a persistent
violator of the law.
Under the law which was passed two
years ago, a man convicted twice for
the sale of liquor, may be deemed a.
persistent violator, convicted of a fell
ony and sent to the state penitentiary
Tor term of from one to five years
Adams was first convicted of selling
liquor in 1908, but was not tried again
upon the charge of breaking the LIQUOR
law until after the felony law had
gone into effect. The state asked for
the conviction of Adams under the fell
ony clause of the new law. 1t was
argued that an offense prior the opera
tfon of the new law could not be held
against the defendant, but the jury
proceeded to bring in a verdict of guilty
and the case was appealed to the su-
preme court. The court today held
that the jury was justified in consider
ing the 1908 conviction, which in sub
stance opens the doors of the state
prison to persons convicted of selling
liquor under the old law and are
caught in the net since the passage of
the 1911 act

Cincinnati, May 10-Additional men
