NOMINATIONS TO
: CONVENTION

Meetings were held in the vari-
Gus precincts of the island last
night for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidate to be voted upcr
next SATURDAY evening for election
to a convention to be held III Ho.
nolulu on the 24th. inst. for the
purpose of revising the Rules and
Regulations Of The X publican par
ty.
The Lihue meeting was held il
the court house, and nomination,
were held open between the hours
of 7 and O, clock. II. y. Wishard
presided and a. G.. Kaulukou Off
ciated as secretary. The latter sta
ted the objects of the meeting and
read the official call.
Nominations were then called
for, and (. II. Rice presented the
following names: II D. Wishard.
!. H. Coney and w. H Rice Jr.
No other nominations being forth
coming, these men will undoubt-
edly receive their credentials, as
the precinct is entitled to Just three
delegates.
Mr. c. A. Rice produced and
distributed copies of the proposed
new rules, in both English and
Hawaiian; and discussion thereon
was had at considerable length.
Numerous questions were asked,
and were answered, for the most
part, by Mr.. Rice.
AS was to be expected, ques
ton mark was introduced after
the provision that one fourth of
county collections should go TO the
Central Committee, and attehtion
was also directed to the provision
that IS per cent of the Central
Committees collections should be
paid over to the counties, unless
specifically prescribed by the donor
that any particular subscription be
paid to some designated county
committee. Ideas as to how this
omplcX system would work out
seemed to be hazy,
Mr. Wishard wondered if the
rules were not a sort of cut-aud
dried proposition anyway, and the
work OF the convention be largely
matter of form.
Mr.. c. H. Rice replied that just
the opposite would likely be the
case. He knew of one thing that
was sure to bring OH a scrap"
and that was in regard to the
Central Committees position in
the primaries. He knew of one
verv prominent Republican leader
at Honolulu (whose name he
mertioned) swho intended to fight
for the actual domination of the
primaries by the Central Commit
tee. Personally, he was opposed
TO any such thing, and believed
majority felt as he & J, but

SHINGLE SPENDS
WEEKEND HERE

Robert w. Shingle, president of
I. h Henry Waterhouse Trust
Company, came up on the last
Kinau to spend a few days with
his old friend, Charles A. Rice.
He returned home by the same
steamer, sailing Saturday after
noon.
While here, Mr.. Shingle was
on the go" most of the time.
Wednesday was given over to a
hunting trip over Koloa wav, re.
sulting in a bunch of pheasants.
ct was rumored that Shingle and
Rice sat under lauhala tree and
talked politics, while a native b y
killed the pheasants; but ;he boy
could not be located to confirm the
reportD
On Thursday the two gentlemen
left for Makaweli, calling up
on Manager B. d. Baldwin and
other prominent men over on that
side. Friday was spent around
Kealia and Kapaa, the host that
day being Mr.. Gaylord p. Wilcox
On Saturday trip was made to
Kilauea, where h hoepitable
home of Mr.. J. R. Myers was
thrown open to the visitors. The
return to Lihue was made in time
to catch the steamer for Honolulu.
Mr.. Shingle is chairman of the
Republican Territorial Committee
and Mr.. Rice is Republican Ma
tional Committeeman for Hawaii.
Naturally, that throws ali element
of doubt on the lauhala tree story.

MRS. JAMES KULA
TO Be PRINCESS

Mrs. Lipi Kealoha Kula, of Ko-
loa, will be the Kauai Princess i'll
the Floral Parade at Honolulu.
This was definitely decided at a
meeting of the special committee
of the Chamber of Commerce. on
Floral Parade matters, held in the
office of President H. Rohrig last
Friday morning.
Mrs. Kula is full Hawaiian,
young woman and is the wife of
the we'll known garage man Of Ko-
loa. She is rider of skill and
grace, and will undoubtedly be a
striking figure i'll the parade.
AT the meeting there were pre-
sent with Mr.. Rohrig: Rev. J. NJ,
Lydgate, E. +. Nahum, j. H.
Cohey and Mr.. Hale, the scenic
artist who fas been engaged to
paint the Spouting Horn for the
Kauai float.
49, Mr.. H ale. displayed a pretty
water color sketch of the Spouting
Horn, from which the large paint
ing will be made. Everyone pre-
sent was highly pleased with the
sketch.
1t was decided to have 1000
promotion" pamphlets printed,
to be made up into the shape of
fish. These will presumably be
caught from the water pooled at
the base of the Spouting Horn and
will be thrown out into the crowds
along the streets as the float passes
tS, Each of the fish pamphlets will

small Niihau shells, to give the
package weight in throwing. 1t
was also decided to order a large
lumber Of leis for celebrating
V decorations on the float.
y an effort will be made to secure
horse from Francis Cav for
\ula to ride.
lex, matter taken up by
1mittee was that Of the pro
VI tour of Mr.. Baker, with his
Y views, taken over here some
I, tbs ago. 1t was decided to
have Mr.. Baker come over next
week and display the views one
night each in Lihue, Koloa and
Waimea. He has a new machine
for the purpose. The Chamber OF
Commerce makes a guaranty of a
sufficient amount to cover ex-
penses, so that an admission fee
will be charged.

Merchant to Hospital

All Chock, TIL e we'll known
Chinese merchant of Kapaia, was
removed to the Lihue hospital near
the weekend, it being the opinion
of his physician that he could re-
ceive more systematic attention
there than at home. He has not
been we'll in quite awhile, but not
until lately did his symptoms call
for more careful treatment.

FOOTBALL GAME
RESULTS IN TIE

The football on t e st Sunday
afternoon between the Makaweli
and All American teams on the
Lihue grounds was probably the
hardest fought battle of the season.
Both sides went into the game i'll
a weakened condition. Makaweli
was minus several good PLAYERS,
and had TO play substitutes; while
the All Americans were short in
tbs same way and had to add thc
same number of men to make up
their team. This knowledge of
weakness, however, as sometimes
happens, caused the men to play
with unusual determination, O
that there was real ginger in every
part of the game.
RICHARDSON HURT
In the first period Richardson,
of the Makawells, and Hill of the
home team collided, and the form
er was laid out by nasty cut
acoss the shin, inflicted bv Hill s
shoe. The accident was unavoid-
abe, as could b e plainly seen;
and no one manifested more regret
for it than Mr.. Hill himself. DR..
Putnam hastily dressed the wound
and the injured man was removed
beyond the side-lines in order that
the game might proceed.
THE GAME
With the loss of Richardson,
the Makaweli team was so weaken
ed that defeat seemed easily posi-
BILE. 1t was then that the soccer
spirit of the visitors showed itself
Every man from the smallest up
to big Hayselden fought like a
tiger for points of vantage. Joe
Fassoth, although with one hand
still tied up as a result of his re-
cent injury, never played wi h
more determination, while Muir
doch and others of the team gave
the homers all they could handle.
In one side kick the Makawelis
struck the post and only missed
a goal by the ball bounding the
wrong way. ~ E
Undoubtedly the All Americans
played the heaviest game they have
yet put on. An unusual amount
of head work was displayed, while
the speed was excellent. When the
game ended, honors were exactly
even, and the ball was almost on
the spot from which it originally
started.
The teams were as follows:
ALL AMERICAN ; MAKAwELl
Fred Morrow Goal +. Huddy
T. Hill Full back d. Hay selden
A. Robertson " Glenn Akina
w. Rice, Jr., Half back Kapuniai
Fred Woodside A Kalakanui
Harold Morgan " Harry Burgess
f. Fountain Forward Joe Fassoth
+. Hussey Harry Oneha
M. Thomas " Waialeale
S. +. Hannestad Richardson
II, Vincent +. Murdoch
The standing Uf the teams is
now as follows:

Mr.. BR|DGEWATER
TO FACE CHARGES

L B. Bridgewater, who returned
10 Honolulu bv the Kinau Satur-
lay night, was arrested upon the
arrival OF tue steamer their Sunday
morning on charge of Gross
cheat. On Monday he was releas-
ID on bail i'll the sum of SlOO 90,
the case being set over to a future
late. The Honolulu Star Bulletin,
't.vesierday afternoon, had the
following to say of the matter:
+. B. Bridgewater, publisher of
t h c defunct Sentinel arrested
Sunday OH a charge of gross cheat
based upon h i s representations
while publishing the paper, was
released from the Jail this morning
IN bail, a cash bail set at 500 and
furnished by Harry Gregson.
Ihe prosecution OF the charge
against him is to be made on a
warrant sworn to by II. S. Canario,
a street car conductor, who com.
peted for prize i'll the contest
undertaken bv Bridgewater for
subscriptions to his weekly paper.
Canario maintains that he was en-
titled to a motorcycle because of
his success in the contest. He saws
that Brldgewater gave h m a
motorcycle. 1t is here that the
charge of gross cheat enters, The
conductor says at not long after
the motor was returned to him, il
was taken away from him by the
real owners, who proved to him
that Bridgewater had never had
title to it, but had only been al
lowed to use it for a test ride.
Prosecuting officers say there
is a possibility of other charges,
falling under the head of gross
cheat also, being made against the
editor. So far Bridgewater only has
one warrant against him."
Mr.. Bridgewater had been over
here for week or ten days, spend.
ing most of his time around Ha-
nanaulu and Lihue. He was aware
of the charges Git being reported
that others will follow the one
made by Canario) being worked
up against him at Honolulu. but
expressed confidence that he would
be able to explain matters to the
satisfaction of every one.
Before leaving for Honolulu,
Mr.. Bridgewater, at tn request
of THE GARDEN ISLAND. wrote
out the following statement of his
case as he then understood it, for
the information of his friends OH
Kauai:
Concerning that which the Ho-
noluln press has had considerable
to say relative to my business af-
fairs in Honolulu, / will state that
unforeseen circumstances which in
cluded non receipt o f sufficient
subscription money with which to
paw for prizes offered is the cause
of NV present difficulties. There
has been not the least intent nor
attempt to defraud anyone and
am returning to Honolulu this
afternoon where l intend to face
the charges whatever they may be.
At all events, every paidup sub
scriber will receive his dollar back,
This will probably take sometime,
but those who know me, must also
know that though I've failed to
make good in this instance. l am
equal to the occasion. Being down
and out doesn't mean pan" by a
jug full, l have a position offered
me, and as soon as l get this mat
ter off my hands will accept it and
hope soon to catch up again"

Count Zeppelin Says General Butter.
 field sneaked 1t Away.
 Count Zeppelin, the inventor of the dirigible balloon. Is not stranger to the United States. for he saw service with the Union army in the war be- tween the states In his recently pub lished "reminiscences he tells this anus ing story of General Butterheld, who was chief of staff in the Army of the Potomac:
 In planning operations General But terfield attached special significance to knowledge of the probable weather conditions, and for this reason he be- came especially fond of an excellent aneroid barometer that had obtained from London and paid a lot of money for.
 He saw this instrument in my tent, borrowed 1t from me, then found 1t i'm possible to give 1t up. He kept it a longer time each time he borrowed 1t until at last he failed to return it at all. When 1 was about to leave the army 1 asked him again and again to return it, and finally became so pressing that he said he would go to his tent and fetch 1t out.
 After waiting outside long time ] followed him into the tent It was empty. With my barometer in his hand he had crawled under the canvas and disappeared.

French and the German dispatches, we can believe them both, in spite of their wide variances-can, that is, after making due allowance for the circumstances.
 Of downright, intentional, and con- scious lying by the distributors of rofficial" news considerably less is probably doing than their contradic- tions of each other seemingly indi- cate. They conceal much, but most of what they tell is presumably told as they see it from their respective points of view.
 All of us are apt to mistake de- termination to do for accomplish ment, and what we think ought to be for what will be, or even is. Com bining the conflicting stories into an approximation to the truth is task not very difficult. and those who per form 1t intelligently are saved from echoing the current stupidities as to the untrustworthiness of the news. In detail it is often incorrect, but the facts do all come oIt without much delay.

black cross on both these flags repre-. sents the famous iron cross" of the Teutonic order.
 The imperial standard of the Ger man emperor is yellow powdered with black eagles and the "iron cross sur rounded with white border. In the center of the banner Is a shield car rying the arms of Prussia with a crown above, bordered by the distin- guished order of the Black Eagle.
 In the German ensign, the black, white and red flag we so often see, it iB interesting to note that the black and white stripes represent the might of the empire, being, as has been said, the colors of the Hohen- zollerns and of Prussia, while the red and part of the white stripe also |symbolize the remarkable commercial genius of the nation. The famous Hanseatic League, from whose flag these colors were taken, was found- ed as early as 1241, when the towns of Lubeck and Hamburg took unit ed action for the purpose of secur- ing for their merchants the safety of the road connecting the North Sea with the Baltic, and they were soon joined by other maritime cities which took steps to protect their common interests. As early as 1166 the mer- chants of Cologne had a guild hall in London and had formed a Hansa or association of merchants there.
 As the strength and reputation of the legaue grew all the most pow erful German cities sought to be ad mitted to it, and it flourished until the middle of the seventeenth cen tury, when, owing to internal jealous ies and also to the fact that it had no one strong ruler to back it, as had the merchants of France and England, it gradually disintegrated. In land some part of which was always at war it had encouraged trade with the whole of Europe, protected it's mem- bers from the extortions of petty rul- CTS, from the thievery of robber ba- rons and from the depredations of less well-born highwaymen. It had encouraged art, freed the skilled ar tisan from many expressions and built up that backbone of any nation, the prosperous middle class, so its colors well deserved a place on the German flag.-Ex.
