SALOON MEN AND
BAPTISTS) OPPOSED

John a. Chamb erlain of Cleveland,
lawyer and head of the Baptist
Brotherhood, which is trying to close
the saloons on Sunday, now has the
fight Of his life.
II never knew before I got into this
how bad a man wants drink when he
wants it, nor how anxious the saloon
man is to sell it to him." remarked the
leader of the brotherhood, when he
found the saloon men had tried a ruse
of which he had not thought.
Mr.. Chamberlain believed he had the
lid fastened down on Sunday in the
city which, till short while ago., had
Colder Rule chief Of police. Sud-
denly he discovered that the saloon
men had given all their customers
keys to their places. The locksmiths
of the city were working night and
day to turn them out The printers,
who had to get out fancy cards Of
membership also worked overtime.
The head of the Baptist Brotherhood
does not believe the saloon men have
found a successful method of keeping
open on Sunday, and he is digging into
the law to find one t. overcome them.

If the seed corn has boon tested,

Rainy days are q splendid time to

ship at anchorage and it is expected
that the repairs to the vessel will be
completed to permit the vessel resum-

Storage passengers to Mexico. The
vessel is one of several operated by
Chinese immigration companies be-

steamers in this line keep we'll to the

repairing the machinery will be done.

WHO SLIPPED
THIS HOT ONE
TO THE 'T|SER?
Duke. and a 'Man-Eating Eel
Do Battle in Print-Qu;ck,
Officer, the Padded Cell

Duke kahanamoku's terrific battle
with a high-powered, man-eating eel,
described in a first-page story in the
morning paper, is branded by Duke
himself as untrue and a fake.
That story Of q fight for life ten
feet beneath the water, Ct his choking
the sea-mOnster to death and thus
freeing his body from it's beacon
strictor embrace is a subject for
laughter today and for anger on the
part of many people who declare that
the yarn hurts Waikiki beach and it's
reputation as an unusually safe bath
ing-placG.
The horrible wounds sustained by
the worlds champion swimmer turn
out to be comparatively slight
scratch on the index finger of his
right hand, whose only seriousness
lies in the fact that it was not i'm
mediately treated.
To tell the whole story briefly,
Duke was nipped by small eel when
he stuck his finger into a crevice of
the coral. The rest Of the yarn, says
Duke. is hot air and imagination.
Duke sat at his office desk in the
public works department this morn
ing The index digit of his right hand
was bandaged, but it didn't seem to
interfere much in the exercise of the
pencil with which he was working on
a mass of mysterious figures.
Il think ] saw the eel. but I'm not
certain" he said, "it was perhaps two
feet long. l was bitten by something.
l learned that when l felt a tug at
the finger and on examining it found
a little piece of skin had been cut
off. as with a knife.
II was just playing around the raft,
diving down to the bottom and run
ming my hands around among the
rocks, when something nipped the
finger. / came up at once and ex-
amined it. = There was little blood,
and as l glanced down / thought I
saw an eel wriggling off through the
water"
