egg blue suit that the sun ever shone
upon. As long as it was on land II had
all the other bathing suits flying flags OF
distress. But the other youngsters re-
venge came in due time. The young man
donned his robin egg blue suit, stepped
out, dived into the swimmers pool and
splashed toward the edge.
When he came out there was a pro-
ionged cheer of admiration from his
companions. That suit had started to
run-and as a runner it had the Greek
gentleman who ran from the plains Of
Marathon to Athens whipped by three
city blocks. There was gray in 1T and
dabs of sickly yellow and sort Of
bilious green. The only color it didn't
seem to have was robins egg blue.
The early day was brisk enough to
keep the young swimmers. on the jump

devised by a bright spirit who had
been there before, was to sit along the
edge of the pool and kick up huge

PRICES IRREGULAR
IN STOCK MARKET
Weakness in Gould Properties
Causes Falling 0ff-Mis-
souri, Pacific Leading.

NEW YORK. July s.-Continued
weakness in the Gould properties,
Chesapeake and Ohio and New Haven
caused price levels in the local stock
market to become irregular this morn
ing. The recessions, however, were
sharper than the advances.
Missouri Pacific was the weakest of
the Gould stocks, selling off IL points
early in the day to 117s. a new low
level. Denver and Rio Grande, likewise.
receded. the common stock losing
five-eighth of point, and the prefer
red seventh-eighth. This sharp re-
action is due to the aeneral impression
that the Gould properties will have to
undergo a thorough capital reorganl-
zation which will involve a severe seal
ing down of the securities.
Chesapeake and Ohio lost IL points
on the continued -rumor that the next
dividend will be reduced. IL not passed.
New Haven, which receded sharply
yesterday. sold off IL points as a result
of the dissatisfaction with the bill
which has been enacted bv the Massa-
chusetts legislature looking to . dis
position of the Boston and Maine
stock, and the announced determine
ton of the Government to institute
suit against the company unless its
agreement to sell the Boston and Maine
stock is carried out.
Lehigh Valley was the strongest Of
the railroads, advancing a full point,
Reading also showed n good fractional
gain.

CHINAMEN IN OUR MILITIA
They Are Expected to Form a hes'
ment in HaWaii-NatiVes OF
Honolulu.

Washington.-A company of China
men. all citizens of the United States,
has been mustered into the military
service of this country. A second COM
pany is preparing to take the OATH
with the probabilities that within
year there will be a regiment OF chi
nese in the militia organization.
The Cinnamon who have been ac-
copied by the government are natives
of Honolulu and the first company con-
sists of about sixty bright young men.
Colonel Jones, adjutant general OF
Hawaii, and Lieut.. A. l., Bump, U. D
A, the spector-instructor OF the Ma
tional Guard of Hawaii, have reported
that the new guardsmen are as enthu
| siastic as any civilian soldiers they
have seen anywhere.
The guard officer to whom mos
| credit Is due for the organization Of
the Chinese company is Lieut.. W. V
Kolb, n. G.. of Hawaii, who has take1
a deep interest in the young ChinameI
and who gave them the necessary pre-
liminary instruction. Every man II
the company is a graduate Of one o
the Honolulu high schools and ever
ore was born in Honolulu or some par
Of the Hawaiian islands.
