After watching Hans" Wagner beat
the New York Giants one afternoon, a
youngster remarked that when Wag-
ner hits the ball, the only time it stays
inside the grounds is when he hunts,
and then he knocks down the infield ;"
The remark was more picturesque
than accurate, but it is safe enough to
say that the veteran Pirate shortstoD
has always worried the National
League pitchers more than any other
batter. Most hard hitters wait for the
ball to come somewhere near 4 choice
place, but Wagner hits them every,
where, and he never seems to be anx-
ious to get his base on balls. His own

: s. .1if
This evening the Oahu League win
hold its regular meeting. at 1880 at
the Office of Charles Chillingworth.
The meeting is of unusual interest
because the question of playing the
postponed game next Sunday will
come up for reconsideration.
The league officials decided last
week to play OF the postponed double
header, but now there Is talk OF call
ing on the games, which have no
bearing on the winning of the first
series. The Stanford-St. Louis game
is scheduled for Sunday at Moiliili,
and there are many fans who think
that it would be good policy for the
league to cancel this extra date, and
postpone the start OF the second Sc
ries until July rs. SO that there would
be no conflicts.

JoHNSON'S CHARGES
DON'T BOTHER M'FADDEN

Jack McFadden, the well known 10
cal sporting man, laughs at the
charges made by Young Jack Johnson,
that he, McFadden, robbed Johnson OF
his fight with Opo at Wailuku last
Friday.
You've seen Johnson fight, and you
know how he whales round at every
thing in sight" said McFadden, when
shown the communication from john
son published on this page yesterday.
He plainly fouled Opo, and ! gave
the only decision possible. AS to my
being financially interested in the
fight, | wasn't even interested to the
extent of getting paid for working as
third man in the ring. Johnson and
his charges are both jokes"

PARIS. Jan. 9.-one of the most striking sentences in the diary of Count Leo Tolstoy printed last eve ning in The. Journal des Debats as his hitherto unpublished testament but displaced by abrief formal will dated July 27, 1910, in which he lett all his literary property to his daugh- ter Alexandria, reads:
 If the people of the world wish to read my writings, let them dwell upon those passages where l know the di- vine power has spoken through me, and let them profit from them through out their lives"
 The diaryis printed on the authority of Count Sergius Tolstoy It was writ ten by his father under date of March 2. 1895.
 Count Leo Tolstoy asked that all re- rrain from saying good of him after his death. After referring to him self as the interpreter of divine pow CT, he said;
 oI have had moments when felt myself to be the medium for the eX- pression of the divine will. I have sometimes been so impure and so subject to personal passions that the light of this truth has been obscured by my own obscuity but, despite all, I have served at times as the inter. mediary for this truth, and those have been the happiest moments of my life. May God will that passing through me. these truths have not been sullled and may mankind find in them it's pasture. It is only that that my writings have importance ~

 He continues Let there be no flowers no wreaths, no discourse and, if possible. let the funeral take place without priests and without liturgy but if that is disagreeable to those who bury me, then let me be inferred with the liturgy, only as simply and cheaply as possible
 After asking that announcement of his death appear in the newspapers and that no obituary be printed, Count ToIstoy writes at length concerning the disposition of his works. He pre- scribcs that only those of his unpub. pshed writings be printed which will .be useful to mankind"
 He asks his heirs to abandon to the public the right to publish his former
 
 works-that is, to renounce the auth or's rights.
 After giving instructions relative to the classification of his papers by his wife and daughters he orders his diaries to be destroyed when what i, worth nreservfng has been extract. ed from them. This applies partic- u}arIy to the journals he kept when o bachelor. when, he says he led the usual miserable life of young men without principle Then he adds;
 After all let my diaries remain as they are. It may be seen from them that despite the plautude and misery of my youth God did not abandon me- and that as I grew older learned however little it was, to understand and love Him"

 So as it seemed improbable thaJ any decision could possibly be reached bv the Federal Court in the limita, ton proceedings before the twelve months elapsed Mrs Natsch was ad- yised to disregard Judge Hough's in. function and enter her suit at once. When the fact that sae had done sol was brought to the attention Of Judge Hough in the Federal Court he de- clared her attorney Mir.

 Mir. Bougham then appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals in the hope of prevailing upon it to reverse it's own judgment. Moreover, in this ap- neal he hoped to bring up the amount os to the law under which the amount of damages for which the White Star line was liable was to be decided If it is the American law it will with little doubt, be limited to the$9G,- Ooo which the company has suggest ed is the proper sum. If it is the Brit isb law then the Titanic claims will be assessed under the act which makes a steamship company liable to the amount of $75 a gross ton Of the vessel lost, which in the case rune Titanic would be sS,OOOOOO
 If the White Star Line can show that. though the Titanic was a Brit, ish vessel, on the high seas it i3 amenable only to the American law, it can matter little to the claimants whether they have their claims out Iawed by the conjunction of Lord Campbell's act and the course Of the Federal Courts or not. There would be so little to divide among them that it would hardly be worth their while to press their claims. On the other hand. if the British law on Admiralty was to prevail the company would be forced to pay those who prove their claims a substantial sum.
