time to think it over at more length
johnson expressed indignation at Sto-
Wallis attack and intimated that more
punishment might be in store for the st.

against public decency.' he declared. Il

PHILLIES LOSE PROTEST.
Two Games Lost to Giants Will
Stand as Played.

NEW YORK. May s.-The New York
Nationals had no undue advantage over
the Philadelphia club in the games played
at the Polo Grounds late in April by rea-
SON of the fact that there was a hole
scooped out of the diamond back OF the
pitchers box. This is the finding OF Pres
ident Thomas J. Lynch OF the National
League on the protest of the Philadel-
phia club, and he orders that the result
OF the games shall stand as played.
The Philadelphia club protested the
games played April % and "a. alleging
that hole several inches deep was
scooped out back of the pitchers plate.
I'm violation OF the rule which requires the
field to slope from the pitchers plate TO
every base line. New York won the first
game. 3 TO 1. and the second. to 4.
During the series President Locke OF
the Philadclphias made a verbal com.
plant to headquarters relative to this
hole, and Umpire Klein was instructed 10
have the groundkeeper leved off the
ground in order to avoid the possibility
of a ball thrown from center field striking
back of the rubber The New York club,
I'm answering the protest. stated that 10
became necessary this season to put in a
new pitchers plate at the Polo Grounds,
and that owing to the rains and the fact
that the field is In use every day by the
National or American League club a
slight depression resulted back OF the
plate.

of the remaining two.
If the Nationals can win with their
present makeshift team they ought
to do better when Gandil and Foster
get back in the lineup. Both are
badly missed. there Is no doubt of
that. 1t was the errors Of this pairs
substitutes which put Engel in bad in
the fifth and gave the SOx their first
two runs. Gandifs bruised toe is
mending slowly and it may be several
days before he will be able to resume
his place at first. while no one expects
after the team returns from Its pres
ent trip. Ray Morgan came in for his
first severe scolding today. He blum
dered on a play which might have lost
the game. 1t was the fifth inning. when
Clyde Engle got a life because La
porte fumbled. Janvrin sacrificed and
Laporte made a good play on the ball
and would have thrown Engle out at
second but Morgan was not covering
the bag and he then had to make
hurried throw to first and Williams
dropped the ball. To make matters
worse. Cady sacrificed and Engel heav
ed the ball high over first base and
this resulted In two runs. The entire
mix-up was blamed on Morgan, who
was given a stiff reprimand by Grif-
fith when the inning was over. Nor
gan. In a manly fashion. admitted his
mistake and gave assurance that Re
would never be caught mapping in a
similar manner again.
Morgan has been the teams mainstay
with the bat in the Boston series. In
twelve trips to the plate he has hit safely
eight times, which is some record. Up to
that eighth inning O'Brien seemed to
have 1t on the Nationals. They got an
occasional hit. but when there was dan
ger of scoring he was at his best. The
eighth inning seems to be hOodOo for
O'Brien, for 1t was in this inning that
the Nationals beat him out In Washing
ton. and they tied the score yesterday in
this inning. O'Briep depends on his spit
ball. and GrifFlth contends that no pitcher
who depends on that delivery is ever re-
liable.
Having won four of the six games from
Philadelphia and Boston. the Nationals
feel that they have nothing to fear in the
west. where the teams are not believed
to be as strong as the ones they have
just played. But Griffith is not going to
take any chances. and proposes to make
every effort to get lead in the race at

LITTLE ANSWERS
KAIMUKI KICK

Declaring that the good people Of
Kaimuki seemed to think themselves
& community apart from the rest oil
the city with special privileges and a
water reservoir for their sole benefit
Superintendent Little of the water
works yesterday pointed out just
wherein lies the necessity of using
The Palolo spring water to piece oui
the artesian supply that furnishes Kai.
muk as well as almost dozen other
communities.
I'VE are always anxious to furnish
our consumers with. good artesian
water" Little stated, "but ia this case
It is necessary for the time being to
relieve the drain upon the artesian
supply by adding 10 it some of the
surface water. The reservoir which
supplies Kaimuki also supplies Kapi-
nlani Park, Kapahulu, Waialae, Ocean
View, Kahala, Waikiki, Moiliili, etc.
When this supply runs low it is nee
essary for the good of all concerned
TO help out with surface water. The
reason why the reservoir has over
flowed as complained of is due to
the fact that one pump is pumping the
water into two reservoirs, one at kai-
muki and one at Diamond Head. These
two reservoirs are at different heights
of elevation and it is therefore impos.
sible from the pumping station to tell
Just when they are about to overflow.
We are installing, however, electric
1ell-tales and when these are installed
We will be able to stop the waste re-
sulting from the OVERLOOKING of the
tanks
Little made the above statement in
answer to an article appearing in the
morning paper which stated that the
people of Kaimuki had entered objec-
tions against the introduction into
their pure artesian supply of surface
water from the Palolo springs.

DISTRICT COURT
BILL IS Fought

| The first step of the supervisors Of
Honolulu to fight II. B. 113, which is
9 measure to regulate the expenses Of
district courts of Hawaii was made
yesterday when that bill came before
the senate, sitting as a committee OF
! the whole.
Senator Judd, directing the opposi
tion to the bill 50 far as it applies to
Honolulu, introduced Chairman w
| Glellan, of the ways and means com.
mittee of the supervisors, who. pre-,
scented figures to show that III. B. 113
would entail an extra expense of $1,000
a year to the county.
Several of the supervisors were
present, as. we'll as Mayor Fern, and
though none of them spoke it is un-
dcrstood that they arc antagonistic to
the proposed bill, which, if enacted,
would closely regulate the expenses OF
The courts. IT was this arbitrarinesS
OF the bill which nettied the 6pposi-
ton, as it was claimed that in htlmer-
Gus instances it would increase the
sum new used for costs of the district
courts.
Following the statement made by
Mcclellan, Senator Judd moved that
so mulch Of the measure as applied 10
Honolulu be stricken out, and his ac-
tlon brought out similar and anala-
Eous ones from other senator's. who
were, beginning to look with some dis
favor on the act.
AS a result of the motions, Senator
Coke, who was presiding, had it as
signed to special committees repre-
senting Hawaii, Maui and Kauai to the
end that the interests of those coun-
ties in the bill may be gone into. The
several committees will report to the
committee of the whole, which asked
leave to sit again.

Davis Creates Sensation

Attorney George A. Davis created
mild sensation in the U. S. dis,
trict court Saturday when he declared
to the court that it has come to him
upon good information that High
Sheriff Henry was using undue in
fluence to get Samuel d. Hausman,
the aged Seattle merchant appre-
hended some time ago upon charge
of smuggling opium, to plead guilty
to the charge against him. Davis
stated that his client is an old and
unfortunate man and that Henry had
been taking advantage of him in an
attempt to save the government the
trouble of prosecuting the case.
Davis accordingly entered a plea that
his client be released until the time
of the trial upon his own reeogniz-
ance. This afternoon at two O'Clock,
the motion to dismiss the Indictment
against Hausman, entered some time
ago by his attorney, will be heard in
: the U. S. district court.
