HAROLD CASTLE TO TRY OUT
FOR AMERICAN POLO TEAM
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
AFTER LOCAL NAN AND
HAWAIIAN POLO PONIES

Harold K. l. Castle, Honolulu busi-
ness man and star polo player, may
help defend the international polo cup
against the British invaders next sum-
mer. He has been selected to try
out for the American team, and will
begin practice with the eastern stars
at Meadowbrook as soon as the polo
season opens.
News to this effect has been re-
ceived in connection with negotiations
for the loan of Carry the News, the
Hawaiian pony that proved the class
of the last international polo series.
The officers of the American Polo As
sociation want a local player as we'll
as local ponies this year, and Castle
has decided to prolong his stay in the
east and try for a position. 1t Is un-
derstood that Walter Dillingham;, now
in the east, was also offered an op-
portunity to try out for the team,
but that business prevents his giving
his time to polo, and that he sug-
gested Castles name to the commit
tee.
Castle has a great reputation 10
cally. He has played the game for
about 10 years, usually as No. 2. The
fact that the Meadowbrook team, the
big Four" will not be selected as
a combination to defend the polo
trophy, leads to the supposition that.

famine COMES
IN FOOTSTEPS
OF EARTHQUAKE

Following closely in the footsteps
of the recent volcano disaster at Ka-
goshima. Japan, due to the eruption
of the volcano intake, which de-
stroyed both life and property, FAM
inc is sweeping the northern part Of
Hondo, the largest island Of the
Japanese empire, and threatening the
lives of the millions of people who
inhabit the eight stricken districts.
The facts concerning this new disas-
ter are set forth in an official cable
gram received from Toxic Saturday
evening by ACting-eonsul Hachiro
Arita.
According to the cablegram, the
famine is due to a shortage in the
rice crop of last year, eight prefec-
lures IN the northern part of Hondo
being the ones suffering the most
These procedures are Niigata, Saita-
ma, Miyagi, Fukushima, Iwate, Yama-
gaia, Aomori, Akita and the province
of Hakkaido. The local Japanese
newspapers have printed the official
cable, the following being the Nippu
Jiji's translation:
The peasants of the several pre-
lectures are suffering from a famine
which is due to a shortage of the
rice crops of last year, the crops hav-
ing been partially destroyed by the
floods during the summer which
swept the northern part of Hondo as
we'll as the province of Hakkaido, the
second largest island. On account of
this, the rice output was decreased
from the usual 95 per cent to 20 per
cent, and the millions of inhabitants
are suffering from the lack of their
staple TODD. In order to wipe out the
present conditions, the imperial
household has contributed relief
fund and the treasury department has
made TWO separate contributions, the
first being 100000 yen and the sec.
ond 100000 yen. The governors of
the several stricken provinces are
making every endeavor to relieve the
situation. 1t is expected that the
home government will send -four, rice
and other necessaries to the scene of
the famine at an early date"

KEALOHA TRIAL
IS ON; JURY Is
FINALLY PASSED
[speclal star-Buiietln wtrelessl


HlLo, Jan. 19.-The prosecutlon's
intention to press the cases Of aIIeg-
ed enbezzIement against Supervisor
John kealoha to finish was evidenc-
ed today when his trial began with
the picking Of jury.
Considerable maneuvering was
shown by both prosecution and de-
tense, and the jury was passed only
after hours of examination. .
The defense challenged three
white men, the only ones on the We
nire, and the prosecution challenged
three HaWafians. Two Cinnamon
were excused for having expressed an
opinion on the pase previously.
One Portuguese was dismissed BY
the court after H.. w. Kinney, editor
of the HiIo Tribune, had testified that
the man had expressed the opinion
that kealoha would never be sent TO
Jail. *.-
All Of the jurymen passed are ISL
and-born, the majority being young
Portuguese-Americans. ...s>
Attorney cIaudius II. Mcbride, Of
the defense, declared to the court that
the jury is satisfactory to the defense,
and the trial for embarrassment starts

not work much mischief. experts here
say. Its navy has been increased by n g
addition Of two German armored cruis-
ers the Breslau and Goeben. but the
Russian Black sea fleet is regarded as
more than a match for these.
American warships WIN watch.
Because Of persistent rumors Of posi-
BILE anti-Christian uprisings as result
OF general disturbances, Ambassador
Morgenthau at one time advised that
an American warship be present in Tur.
kish waters for salutary effect and TO
lend aid TO Americans in case OF an
emergency. The cruisers, North Caro-
lima and Tennessee, which were cent to
Europe with gold for relief purposes, are
now and probably will be maintained in,
the eastern Mediterranean. i
The policy Of Greece, as previously 4
nounced by Minister Schliemann here.
would cause Greece to enter the war in
case any of the Balkan states should
take up arms. Minister Schliemann sug-
gested that 1t was possible that the re.
ported action of the Turkish warships
might have been prompted bv a mutiny
of the crew. as in the case OF the Potem-
kin in the Russian revolution.
The full war strength of Turkeys army
Is 100000 trained men, according to stat
istics here, but In addition it is believed
that there are about 100000 irreguiars
available.
The regular army corps Is composed of
thirteen army corps, most OF which are
in Turkey in Asia. The infantry is said
now to be the strongest branch. The ar
tillery lost many of its guns during the
recent Balkan war.
Turkeys naval strength consists OF
three battleships. four cruisers. three tor
pedo gunboats. ten destroyers, ten tor
pedo boats, twenty-eight small gunboats,
a coast defense ship and some auxiliary
craft. The battleships are old and none
have guns larger than eleven-inch.
Two of the four cruisers are the Goeben
and Breslau, recently secured from Ger
many.
The personnel of the navy, according
to latest information available here, con-
sists of one vice and eleven rear admir-
ais, 2OS captains, $50 commanders, 22s
lieutenants, 1877 ensigns, $1,000 sailors and
1900 marines.

of Factionalism in

paign just closing. The statement fol-
lows:
1t is indeed gratifying to state that 1
believe the present campaign will for
ever end the factional fight which has
rent the republican party in the state for
years, and that in the future there will
be united progressive republican party
presenting a solid front end battling to-
gether against the common enemy. In
the campaign which is Just closing l have
had the united support of the leaders OF
both factions and have no cause for COM
plant. That the result next Tuesday will
be Overwhelming for the entire ticket,
senatorial, congressional and Gtate, there
is no doubt.
Not only have the leaders Loyalty sup
ported the ticket, but with few eXcep-
lions the rank and file have responded
nobly whenever / have called upon them.
Factionalism has been thrust aside, err
sonal ambitions have been forgotten and
united the battle has been carried on
with no friction or dissention whatever.
1 accepted the position of state chair
man because I believed that the. time
had come when it was possible to unite
the party, and the result has been moro
than gratifying. The final reports which
are now in more than justify me in stat
ing that not a single candidate on the
republican ticket will fall by the way
side next Tuesday.
This is my final word to the repub-
licans of the state of South Dakota be-
fore the close of the campaign, and
trust that every man will do his duty
next Tuesday, and the result will be one
that will heal over the wounds and cause
future battles to be easy (Signed)
