Il Was a Showdown"

Supervisor +. II. F. WoIter precipi.
tsted storm at the meeting OF the
board at noon today when he intro.
dnced resolution endorsing Governor
q Pinkhams opposition to the Honolulu
Rapid Transit 4 Land Company's
franchise bill, now pending in con-
gress. All the other members warmly
objected TO WoI.ers measure and he
withdrew II before IL had been second
ed and given a vote.
In withdrawing II he made little
speech that apparently got under the
skins Of mis- fellow members. and was
rouHdly scored by NJ. G. Pacheco for
making grandstand play" -

honorable brethren. But / proposed

End out just how much gumption
these different members have got i'm
their pants"
VOTERS resolution, AFTER three
whereases, accusing the Rapid Transit
Company OF depriying the city OF a
81 100000 sale, OF ignoring the rights
Of the taxpayers and causing fran
chise bill 20 be framed that was en-
tirely In the interest of the company,
proposed that the mayor and board OF
supervisors go on record as being
highly opposed" to the passage of said
bin and the granting of said franchise.
II also proposed that copies of the
resolution be forwarded to Delegate
Kuhio, Secretary of lie Interior Frank
lin X. Lane and the Honorable s.
Houston, chairman Of the committee
on the territories.
Mcclellan declared this was not the
time nor the subject for the board to
engage in controversy, particularly
since one already Is waging between
the governor and the company. To
engage In IL now. he said, would re-
qusre more time for study of the
franchise bin than the present board
viii have before leaving office. Les
ter Petrie agreed with this sentiment,
saying that the governor had to EN-.
ploy an expert to help him before en-
tering into discussion Of the fran
ciiise bill, and that the board had no
knowledge OF the measure sufficient
TO warrant radical action now.
Il am opposed to the franchise,

MORE WORK FOR
UTILITY BOARD

A far-reaching movement to have
amended in the next legislature GER
tain laws to the extent that all mills
and canneries in the territory, which
use the products of individual farm
ers, would be brought under the jpris-
diction of the Public Utilities Com
mission, he's been commenced by the
East Hawaii Cane Planters Associa-
ton. In letter read at meeting OF
the utilities commission this after
noon, the planters association outs
lines the movement and asks for the
opinion of the commission.
Acting Chairman j. n s. Williams
stated that the association Is formed
largely of homesteaders and men toc-
cupying land Under lease from plan
tations, and suggested that, before
taking any action, the commission OBJ
tain from the Members Of the -associa-
ton a more concrete statement as to
how they propose to have the statute
amended. The canneries and sugar
mills are chartered corporations, he
explained, but hardly are public utili-
ties. The commission decided TO IN
uuire OF the planters as to along Just
what lines they desire the commission
to act in the matter.
In resolution passed at q recent
meeting of the cane planters associa-
ton 1t is pointed out that lit Is the
sense Of this meeting that the Public
Utilities Commission created by Act
SO. of the regular session OF 1913 Oh
the legislature OF the Territory OF
Hawaii, should have supervision and
control OF all mills and canneries
within the territory, using, in their

FORMER BALL Player
IS OUT FOR Sheriff

MUSKEGON, Mich, July "a Frank
Kitson. former big league baseball star,
now putting up fight for the Office of
sheriff of Alegan county, first attracted
the attention of organized baseball
scouts by his work, with the old Mus
kegon News team, the fastest of the
semi pro clubs in western Michigan at
that time.
Fifteen years ago the name Of Frank
Kitson was one Of the familiar ones in
the baseball world An Allegan county
boy. his performances were watched by
all state fans with particular interest.
He was in the big leagues for many
years. Unlike many bali players he'sav-
ed his money. and when his ball playing
days were over purchased fine farm
near his old home in Allegan county.
Today he is considered one OF the veal
thiest farmers in his county.
kitson became candidate for the
Re blcan nomination for sheriff OF Al
l legan county recently and is making a
/ lively canvass for the position. IT he
makes as good an officer as he does a
ball player Allegan county viii have The
hest sheriff it ever employed, should h'
be elected
The last major league work done b,
Kitson was with Washington. TO which
club he was traded by Detroit. lie was

ANENT Salaries OF
THE BALL player
RuSie Drew Paltry 5000 as
Compared With Matty'S
$4,000 Seasons Income

Comparing the baseball salaries Of
the present day with those of the
past IS just like comparing a pony
to an elephant-there's just that
much difference in the general bulk
OF the pay envelopes.
Amos Rusie, regarded by many Of
the veteran fans who have seen the
best of the past and present perform
ers as about the greatest pitcher of
all time, got only a paltry $4,000
year in comparison with Walter
Johnson's $4,000, Nap Fuckers ST.
500, Mathewson's $4,000 and Joe
Woods $4,000. The amount that
Amos used to draw down for his bril-
liaut work Is an amount that even
the twirlers fresh from the bushes
" ould sneeze at in these days.
George Van Haltren had few peers
as a base-runner, few as a fielder and
thrower. few as a brainy player and
usually could he counted on for a
goodly number OF safe hits each sea-
son. In the old days Van Haltren
was figured to be of as much value
to his team as Speaker is today, yet
George got only S2,100 a year. while
I 2 ris takes unto himself about SiS.-
{ 600.
Herman Long takes rank as the
very best shortstop the game has
ever known. with the possible excep-
/ tion of Hans Wagner. Yet Herman
/ got only $4,000 for his labors q sum
less than half that paid any of the
major league stortstops of the pres
ent day.
I II Big Dan BrOuthers we're in his
prime today he could command and
get at least $4,000 a year. But Dar
played in the old DAYS OF poor pay
and was perfectly satisfied with ST..
200 salary that he drew.
Buck Ewing got only $1,000 a veal
and he was worth $4,000 at least
according TO the present day stand
ards. Tim Keefe had few equals al
a pitcher, yet he got only $4,000

flee fly gave Wilmington two runs

WANTED NORWICH MAN
 FOR MAYOR OF TACOMA
William B. Coffee Declines to Run for Head of Western City's Govern

William B. Coffee of Tacoma, a ma tive of Norwich, who is president of the Wilson Marshall club in that city. has been urged to run for mayor Of Tacoma.
 In his letter of declination to the Tacoma Progressive Democrat Mir Coffee says:
 "A man to be mayor must and should give his whole time to the work. He should study municipal questions and above all find some way to lower the present taxes. If we do not get a lower tax we will not be able to invite our friends to come to this city to live. Tacoma seems to have too much steam and too little fuel. We are trying to run at @ break neck speed in all of our city affairs. We are trying to build a city here in few years that took hundreds of years to build back where I came from. No one likes to see well paved streets, good roads and all modern improvements any better than I do, but I think we have been going too fast in all of our work. We should get grip on our selves and reduce expenses. We seem to elect officers with no other ambi ton than to spend the peoples money"
 T believe that l could have made Tacoma a good mayor. I have a bus mess experience that I believe I could have used to the taxpayer's advan tage, but at this time I do not feel like shouldering the burden necessary to put Tacoma back on a paying basis where the people could pay the taxes without a hardship. In this day of a commission for everything that comes up, it would place an old fashioned business man in a hole should he go against the reformer's wishes in such matters and if he should do the bid ding of every faddist that comes along, the taxes would be higher two years from now than they are at present. do not care to be placed in a position where I would have to shoulder the blame."
 The Democrat declares that MT. Golf fees refusal will be a disappointment to his friends and the loss of his ser vices will be felt by the tax ridden peo- pie.
