STRECKFUS is PENALIZED
Rock Islander Has License Revoked
for Violating Regulations.


Keokuk, la, Nov. 19.-Captain Roy
Streckfus OF the steamer Sidney has
been found guilty of improper con-
duct in the new government lock on
August %. by Steamboat Inspectors
Rees V. Downs and Joseph w. Kid
ney. The verdict was received by
Major NJ Meigs. Streckfus' license
is revoked for sixty days.
The suspension of Captain S-reck-
fus comes as the result of a hearing
at the federal building last month
before the steamboat inspectors for
this district. The sentence establishes
the paramount rights of the govern
ment officials over the boats entering
the government lock.
The case against Streckfus grew out
of an incident which occurred when
the Sidney entered the lock last Aug
ust. AS usual a line was thrown out
and the lockmaster's assistant started
to tie il over a certain snubbing post.
The mate OF the boa objected and or
dered the man TO attach it to another
post. This he refused to do, and the
boats crew, or members of il, were
said to have charged the lock employe
and fofcibly changed the lines.

BALL FANS GLAD
HARMONY Is
REACHED

Baseball fans and local lovers of
clean sport were glad to learn yester-
day that Capt. Norris Stayton and the
management of the Moiliili field base
Iail series have patched up all differ
ences and that Capt. Stayton viii um-
pire the remainder of the Stanford
games here.
Captain Stayton's stand for the
strict enforcement of the rules has
been upheld by the management, and
at the same time harmony has been
reached by spirit of better under
standing all around. Those who know
the developments Of yesterday do not
take the truce as an approval Of row.
dyism or anything like 1t, but as an
agreement that will help along base
ball and end the controversy over
last Sundays game.
The management yesterday visited
Capt. Stayton at Fort de Russy on a
mission of peace and after q confer
ence il was announced that Capt. Stay
ton had consented TO don his mask
and wind-pad again and rcalf 'enap
with his usual accuracy. It was adj
mitted that there was misunderstand-
ing on both sides, and that both sides
wished 10 do the square thing.
Capt Stayton proved that he has no
personal feelings in the matter by
asking that Barney Joy be allowed to
pitch next Sunday, in the st. Louis
Stanford game. The management
says that it win back up the umpire's
decisions absolutely.
The full statements of Ben Holm
ger, president of the st. Louis Alumni
Association, and Capt. 6tayton, made
in the Star-Bulletin yesterday, helped
20 clear away the heated atmosphere
and to show that the row Of Sunday
was largely due to rstanding,
particularly as to whether or not the
extra run let in from third should have
been allowed. Capt. Stayton insisted
that such was the ground rule, while
st. Louis men took the opposite view.
However, the management took the
proper step to win public favor by go
ing to Capt Stayton and frankly talk
ing the matter over with him, and
Capt. Stayton agreed to continue off
eiatings He ulnpifed at the game yes
terday and his decisions were web re-
ceiyed throughout.
The best umpire in the world will
make mistakes sometimes and SO will
anyone else in the excitement of the
game. The disposition of the fans Is
now to cooperate with the manage
ment and the umpire in seeing that
the games are run off without wrang-
ling. So far as the stand against UNI
disciplined protests and rowdyism is
concerned, that has been upheld, both
by public sentiment and the officials
by their latest action.

VAUDEVI[LEIS
AFTER OURDUKE

According to the San Francisco pa
pers the lure of the fOotlights is being
pointed out to Duke Kahanamoku by
vaudeville managers, but the Hawaii
an is turning a deaf ear to the offers.
8 says:
Duke Kahanamoku and his fellow
Hawaiian swimmers left for Los An
geles last evening. They will remain
in the south, where they are to race,
until Sunday and then return to San
francisco, from where they will sail
home to Honolulu.
The Duke is leaving a trail of ru-
mors behind him. aPre-eminent among
them is that he is being lured into the
limelight of the theatrical profession
by flattering offer.
He has not been made any offer,
however, although the agent for one of
the vaudeville circuits has been hot on
his trail for the past two days wanting
to talk with the worlds record-holder
concerning the possibility of making a
tour on the stage.
When approached on the subject
just before leaving last night, Kahana-
moku stated that he had not been ask
ed regarding such an engagement and
that he was not at that time prepared
to say whether or not he would enter
tain proposition of the kind, never
having given the idea serious thought.
Should the Duke take to exhibiting
his athletic skill on the stage, he will
forsake the amateur ranks forever and
therefore figures he Should think twice
before taking such step.
Dame rumor also has it that Kaha-
namoku has made application for
membership to the Olympic Club. This
is not so, however, and is entirely
groundless, says Manager William 7.
Rawlins of the Hawaiian team.
