Will FIGHT
CASE : :

Il am back to fight a case to be
carried in the courts wherein Captain

TO say at this time in regard to this
claim was the statement offered by
Father Emmanuel Rougier, the well.
known "Copra King" of the South
Seas, who has figured in series OF
interesting events in tie development
of the copra estates OF the little coral
islets in the South Pacific.
The elimination of the British
steamer Kestrel from the service be-
tween Honolulu and Tanning will
greatly depend upon the possibility of
disposal of the steamer. The vessel
is in the market and / understand
that should Armstrong & Armstrong,
the present owners of the craft, sue
coed In selling the steamer, then other
arrangements will be made in the
transport OF supplies from this city to
the South Seas" said Father Reugier,
who returned on the Manehuria. to-
day.
As far as / have learned; the deal
has not been closed and the Kestrel
is. now on the way to Tanning. ! had
barely reached San Francisco before
summoned to return to Honolulu to
defend action, for damages filed in the
local courts
Father Rougier simply laughed
when confronted with the story APP
pearing in a morning paper, which
had to do with the possibility of the
federal customs officers taking steps
to confiscate an alleged rope of
pearlsy said to be the property of his
ward, Madame X. Cecllle. According
to the South Sea island magnate the
pearl necklace is myth, no such ar
tic of personal adornment being in
the possession of the lady in ques-
ton.
The presence of the jewels is said
to have rested solely IN the fervid
of a sailor in the Kestrel
Father Rougier disclaimed any. deal
as pending that would involve a
change of ownership of islands in the
Pacific other than Washington and
Tanning.
Il can not say what may happen
later" he added with knowing smile
as he turned to declare several huge
pieces of baggage before departing
from the wharf for his hotel.

and May Be 0usted as
Assembly Leaders.

Springfield, Ill, March 13.-Despite
the passage of a resolution by both
the republicans and progressives for a
combination to break the double sena-
torial deadlock, the progressives at the
last minute changed their plans and
on the 10th joint ballot declined to
vote for Sherman for the long term. In
stead, as for weeks. they voted for
Funk for the long term.
Seventeen progressives signed the
resolution, which follows in part:
"Inasmuch as 1t has been brought to
our attention that in joint caucus re-
publican members of the house and
senate have offered to vote for Funk
for the short term senatorship, provid-
ed the progressives will vote for Sher-
man for the long term. and,
CLEAN SOLUTION.

clean solution, free from any taint of
Lorimerism or democratic connivance;
therefore,
Resolved, that we. progressive SEN
ators and representatives, favor such
combination as the best possible solu-
tion of the deadlock and pledge our
support to such combination

ton providing that when the senate

SENATEDOOR
MANACCUSED
INAMYSTERY

Washington, March 13.-Charges
that Loeffler, acting assistant door
keeper of the senate, had been respon-
sible for the disappearance of the
Holstlaw certificate of deposit pre-
sented during the Lorimer trial in the
senate made today by Senator Gore
when Loeffler's reelection was pro-
posed. The certificate was never To-
Gated. The senator said his inform
ant was a page of the senate who de-
livered the certificate to Loeffler after
securing it from Senator Bailey.
The disappearance Of the certificate,
which was depended upon for one Of
the proofs of the use of money in
the election of Lorimer, was one Of
the sensations in the celebrated case,
and the mystery was never cleared up.
Loeffler, the only elective officer
awarded to the republicans, was in
cluded in a general resolution pre-
sented by Senator Kern.
Gore at once objected. but declined
for a time to specify his charges.
Republican senators declared they had
a right TO name whom they pleased.
Bacon and Williams, democrats, up
held their view. Gore finally present
ed the information. A long and heat
ed discussion followed. Loeffler was
warmly defended by republican sena-
tors. Gore said he had been given
the information three weeks before
Iorfifief vas seated, but Never used It.
Senators Root and Smith also defend
ed Loeffler, declaring he had been in
the service of the senate "a years, had
been repeatedly promited and was en-
tirely trustworthy.

ANNUAL RACE
BYAQUARTER

battle of the blues" for the aquatic
honors of the year between eight
cared crews representing Oxford and

London began to surge over the
bridges crossing the Thames between
Putney and Mortlake and waited pa
tiently along the banks for one fleeting
glimpse1Cf move they could hope to
catch of the contestants.
The Oxford crew. as usual, was the
favorite. Oxford had a distinct ad-
vantage during the training season,
owing TO its greater opportunities for
practice on the Thames. The Cam
bridge crew, in preliminary training,
is restricted to the little river Cam.
Expectation was general. the dark
blues would make it five straight. The
Oxford crew, half veterans of last
years famous eight, was heavier than
has occurred the dark blue shell in
many years. The Cambridge men were
lighter and less experienced than their
opponents.
They were pronounced by experts
the best crew from the Cam in a
decade. For the first time in an an
nual race between the two varsity
crews. Cambridge rowed in a center
seated boat. Two Rhodes scholars
from Australia occupied thwarts in the
Oxford shell
Great precautions were taken to
guard against any outrage by militant
suffragets which might mar the race.
Boathouses were watched with great
vigilance during the night and women
were forbidden to stand on bridges
under which the racing crews passed.
! Oxford won by a quarter length.
! The start was made at ABB. Cam
bridge took the lead and was half
length in front at the middle distance

quarter mile The course was Az
