EASTERN TEAMS

Providing favorable answer Is re.
soeived today in reply to the cablegram
sent to Charles Comisksy, president Of
the White Sox baseball club, b. the
local promotion committee last Tues
day with regard to games between
that team and. the New York Giants
during their stay in Honolulu en- route
on a tour of the world, plans for the
games and for the reception of the
two aggregaticns will be discussed at
the meeting of the promotion erganiza
ton at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon.
The first intimation of game be
tween the White Sox and the Giants
during their stay in Honolulu came
when word was received that they
could be secured to play in this city
providing they were guaranteed $4,000.
This proposition was Immediately Ia
booed by local persons interested, who
were aware that the gate receipts CT
single game would probably not
amount to that much. The promotion
committee, however, Gabled Comiskey
last Tuesday recommending that the
White Sox and the Giants remain in
Honolulu between boats and play at
least four games here. 1t is believed
by the promotion committee that such
plan would net tie payers a suffi-
cient amount to make It worth while
making the: stoppage. The answer to
the cablegram is expected at any time
this afternoon and in case it comes be-
fore or during the meeting of the
committee, plans will be launched for
the games and for the entertainment

power, and the same is true of her solo
in the second act. Her fine contralto
asserted itself in all the concerted num-
bers, and her rendition of Home to Our
Mountains was beautiful from every
point of view. The hearty applause with
which the audience showered her was
fully deserved.
Leonid Samoloff sang well from first to
last. His Manrico is lyrically a most
creditable performance. He was par

was in splendid voice and sang THE
Tempest OF the Heart in such style as
to warrant favorable comparison with
some of the great barytones that have
been heard in this role. Paul Vernon
sang the part OF Fernando acceptably,
notably the recital of the gypsy's crime.
The chorus gave good account OF itself,
especially in the soldiers battle song.

CATO SELLS GETS PLUM.
Name Sent to senate ss Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs.

President Wilson yesterday nominated
Cato Sells. of Cleburne. Tex, as Com
missioner of Indian Affairs.
In 1894 Mr.. Sells was appointed United
States District Attorney by President
Cleveland. and during his term prose-
Cuted a large number OF attorneys and
their associates in Iowa and adjoining
States In the notable pension conspiracy
cases. The convictions which MIR. Sells
secured in these cases resulted in the
wiping out of the pension-fraud con-
spiracies and saved the Federal gov
eminent many thousands OF dollars.
For this work he received the COM
mendation Of President Cleveland for the
fearless and energetic manner in which
he had unearthed and successfully pros
ecuted the guilty parties
About ten years ago Mr.. Sells became
much interested in Texas. where ne had
gone on a professional visit. and finally
determined to make his home there.
which he did in 1897. moving TO Gle
burne. where he established a bank and
engaged in several other business enter
prises. Although prominent in the indus
trial and civic associations OF Texas,
Mr.. Sells took no active part in politics
until the last national campaign. when
he was elected national committeeman
and waged a most successful campaign
for President Wilson.
Secretary of Interior Lane believes he
has found in Mr.. Sells a man of the
most vigorous type, who is at the same
time broad-minded and judicial. Such
man is needed for the Commissionership
of Indian Affairs, as that bureau has
500. ooo,000 worth OF property and S1,Og
people in it's care.

ure to Compel Director to Be
Practical Printer.
FRIENDS HIS ENSE

Representative A. o. Stanley of Ken
lucky yesterday introduced in the House
a bill providing that hereafter the Direc-
tor of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing shall be a practical plate printer.
This. il is said. is an attempt to leEis-
late Director Joseph f. Ralph out of
office.
The bill is in line with the desire OF or
ganized labor to have a practical plate
printer at the head Of the engraving
plant. The dictatorship of the bureau
is under the Civil Service Commission
Under rules Of the commission, Director
Ralph cannot be forced out of office for
political reasons. Friends of the director
say that. as there is no other way Of OBJ
tanning his removal. plate printers have
appealed to Congress to make 1t neces-
sary for the director to be plate printer.
Mr.. Ralph is not a practical plate printer.
There has been contention in the bureau
for several years between the director
and the plate printers. The agitation
was started when a movement was made
TO install power presses.
The reply by Mr.. Ralph's friends last
mig. was that il is not necessary for
the dir ,ctor- to he practical plate
printer. Responsibilities Of the position.
entailing executive ability, they claim.
call for a business man rather than
plate printer.
Then. it is claimed. that Mr.. Ralph
showed. during the investigation as to
the advisabiity of installing power
presses his knowledge of the plate print
ing art. That he was fully conversant
with the technical as well as the admin
istra tive details Of the bureau. was shown
to be self-evident. 1t is urged.
Friends of Mr.. Ralph also say the posi-
tons of Public Printer and Director of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
are by no means analogous. While the
requirements of the office of Public
Printer, they say. are largely technical
Mr.. Ralphs duties require business abil-
ity to a large extent.
MIR. Ralph has been in the Bureau OF
Engraving for twenty years He worked
his way through nearly all Of the posi-
tions in the bureau. Since 1885, the di-
rectorship of the bureau has been under
the rules of the Civil Service Commits
sion.

see no particular harm to the public

the stories are inherent Objectionable.
In this class we would place divorce

actions, low crimes and articles going
into minute details as to the commit
ting OF any form of crime. Articles
Of the latter description often provide
instruction for criminals in their pre-
datory operations and encourage
youths to try their luck at acts OF
violence. For much the same reason
suicides should not be described too
m;nutely. Invariably "yellow" stories
or suicides are followed by a multi
plicity of atta1tpts by weakminaed or
respondent persons to follow the same
method employed by the central figure
in the affair.
Will IA story handled in given way
