CELEBRATEDON
SMALLER SCALE

.On account of the heavy demand
for funds made on the community
during the past year, It has been
found necessary to celebrate the
Fourth of July on a smaller scale this
year than has been the custom in the
past" said Ed Towse, recently ap-
pointed by the merchants associa-
tion as chairman of the committee in
charge of the celebration, this morn
ing. more than two thousand dollars
were expended last year in this re-
spect, and this year we find that only
about $1,000 will be available"
In spite of the lack of funds, the
committee in charge of the 1913
Fourth of July celebration is already
making a number of unique plans for
the occasion. The merchants as
sociation will have complete charge
of the affair, the Hawaiian Band has
been secured for the day, and the
police and fire departments have ex-
pressed willingness to take part in
the parade It is also the plan of the
committee to get a number of auto
mobile owners interested, in order
that they may appropriately decorate

ASK FOR A
REHEARING

Renewing his former arguments and
laying particular stress on several
points not so prominently mentioned
before, Attorney General Thayer to-
day is preparing petition which he
will file in the supreme court this aft
ernoon, asking for a rehearing in the
test suit brought by the kpokaa Sugar
Company. The supreme court few
days ago handed down a decision in
this case, awarding judgment to the
plantation and against Tax Assessor
{. T. Wilder.
This is the suit brought to obtain
an Interpretation of the new special
income tax law. The supreme court,
in it's recent majority opinion held
that the statute affects the 1912 as
sessment. The territory contends that
should no affect the levy OF the pre-
vious year.

STANFORD GAME

The Oahu Baseball League is trav-
cling q rocky road this year. After
adopting the phrase make II snap
pys as its watchword. and inaugural
ing a businesslike policy in regard to
playing out its schedule. It has been
first raided by an outside promoter,
Guy w. Green, and is now threatened
with internal disruption on account
OF the coming visit OF the Stanford
University team. Nine players, rep
resenting four league teams, have
signed up to play two Sunday games
against Stanford, July 1S and 20, The
Coast Defense team is the only one
that has kept faith with the league
as a whole in the matter of contract
jumping.
The men who are looking after the
interests of the Stanford team during
its visit here, S. F. Chillingworth, Jr,
and T. p. w. Gray, first went to the
Oahu league management with q
view to securing Athletic Park for
Sunday games. The terms offered in
consideration of postponement of the
regular league games, and the use of
the grounds, didn't meet with the ap-
DTON4l OI 0toy anu ShatAAhS WI VI.
According to the former. Manager A.
O. Marcallino of the league made
two alternate propositions. one being
for the league to pay the expenses
of the Stanford team, run the entire
series at Athletic Park, and give the
promoters 10 per cent OF the net
profits. The second offer was for the
league to give the promoters 45 per
cent of the gross receipts, the teams
expenses to come out of this cut.
Couldn't Agree.
GRAY and Chillingworth wouldn't
listen to these terms for a moment
and Marcallino wouldn't listen to post
ponement of the league games unless
the league had a finger in the finan-
cial pie. Negotiations were sus-
pended.
Gray and Chillingworth then pro-
teeded to secure the Moiliili grounds
and to schedule six games. An All
Service team and the Punahou Ath-

GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO PREVENT
ALLEGED MONOPOLY BY THE .. P.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 27-The
United States today began an action be-
Tor the interstate commerce commission
to prevent what is called an attempt bv
the Union Pacific Railway company TO
mOnOpOlize all the traffic bound for the
Pacific northwest from points in the
middle west and great lake points.
This action was brought through the
interior department. which alleges in its
petition that the Union Pacific on De
cember Is, 1911 published a tariff cover
ing through shipments from points on
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and
the great lakes to points on the Oregon
Short Line. The rates provided. the
petition alleges, were not aunlicable un-
less shipments were turned over to the
Union Pacific at its eastern terminals
at Kansas City, No; Council Bluffs.

It IS the contention of the interior
department that this provision IN tba
tariff prevents the shipment of FREIGHT
from Mississippi and Missouri river and
great lake points over the Northern Pa
cific railway, which, it is eontended. is a
shorter route.
