Capitol Fence Needless and

MRS. F. j LOWREY, Chairman.
RY 8. L.N

The object Of the existence Of the
Outdoor Circle of Honolulu is to
make Honolulu a better and more
beautiful place to live in.
Incidental to the main object of the
existence of the Circle is the secur-
ing of the removal of the disfguring
fences. -. 2
The efforts of the circle have met
with some success; but there remains,
as standing encouragement to the
maintenance of other fences, the high
fence around the Executive Building
the Royal Palace. II radical sue
cess is to be achieved along this
line of identifying Honolulu, certain

set by the Government itself.
This fence is q survival of the old
days Of royalty. which felt that 1t

Originally 1t was solid wall some
two or three feet thick and eight
feet high. surrounding the entire
block. At the time of the one day

While the Outdoor Circle is bending
its efforts toward the beautifying Of
Honolulu, Il would be Q source of great

children.

PLANTING or TREES.
On Young street, during August, we
with the help Of men from
Oahu prison, some 40 or more Jacaran-
ia trees, furnished by the Territorial
Experiment station. Encouraged by.
IN interested oyerseer, these men did
food conscientious work. carefully Dig
ging the holes and planting the trees.
and after giving them sufficient
amount Of water to keeH them from
thirst for q few days, left them to the
care Of property owners upon whose
premises they had been planted and
who had signified a willingness to CO.
operate with us by caring for the trees.
Nearly two weeks went by before
members OF the Outdoor Circle were
able to direct their attention to this
section. When they did, however,
nearly two-thirds OF the trees had been
pulled up and carried away by boys
and girls who evidently had found 1t
an entertaining amusement.
TREES MuTiLATED.
Trees planted ON Kapiolani street
some time ago. which had grown to .
considerable height. had also suffered
greatly, being broken and mutilated.
The time consumed by these chill
dren In this destruction was valuable,
Tor had It been utilized In augmenting
he efforts OF the Outdoor Circle TO
beautify Honolulu, the result would be
gratifying indeed
Would parents and teachers help us
by impressing the children with the.
necessity for grasping the beauty of
things before considering their actual
value, and inspiring them with per.
sonal pride and responsibility for the
success Of the work being done, Ho-
nolulu would soon pay rich dividend
In beauty on the time invested and
the individual service rendered her.

The Yard Is immense and has great
possibilities. The officers houses are
pretty, convenient, not too large, and
are built with great wisdom II con-

merely shelters from rain and wind
and dust and heat and publicity. II

MORGAN COMPANY MAKES STATEMENT Show Financial Relations Between Company and
 N. Y., N. H. & H.

New York, March S.-In letter to Howard Elliott chairman of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company, J. P. Morgan x Co.,, made public a statement of fiscal re- lations between the house of Morgan and the 9ailroad and Its allied com panies during the 20 years from 1894 to 1914, in which these relations were maintained.
 The statement shows that in this pe- riod the Morgan house took part in the handling of New Haven and subsidiary companies securities of the par value of S333,0S2,S03, from which the firm realized a total net profit of $350,265 being "at an average rate of s17,OOO a year" The statement shows that on some purchases of New Haven secur- ities the Morgan firm sustained a net loss.
 The letter was in reply to one from Chairman Elliott requesting a detailed statement of the financial relations.
 The letter states that none of the Morgan firms nor any member of them ever had any interest in any properties such as West Chester, the steam rail
  ways. the trolley lines or any of it's subsidiary companies,' with the ex- ception of the fact thta the late J. P Morgan inherited 1922 shares of the stock of the South Bay Wharf and Terminal company and later exchanged this stock for S14 shares of New Ha- ven stock.
 The letter says J. r. Morgan X Co. advanced to Oakleigh Thorne and af- terward the Millbrook company vari- ous sums aggregating s11.155.000 and that these advances were made by or der and for account of the New Haven Railroad company. Tn none of these transactions was there any profit or commission to our firms or to any member of them," says the letter, which adds that none of the Morgan firms or it's members had any interest in se- curities in properties purchased by the Millbrook company or any enterprises or properties that afterward became q part of the New York, Westchester and Boston.

R|TCH|E FAVOR|IE
 OVER AD WOLGAST Betting FavOrs Lightweight Champion to Dispose of
 Former Title Holder

Milwaukee, March S.-The rejuvenation of A. D. Wolgast and the reported over confidence of Willie Ruche have failed to dethrone Ritchie as favorite in bet ting for their 10-round bout here Thurs day night. Ritchie wifi defend his title of lightweight champion against the man from whom he won it.
 Wolgast's recent defeat of Rivers, the Mexican boxer. and other indications that he had "come back" has made promot- CTS of the bout confident he would put up great fight to regain his laurels. The public generally, however, does not share in this belief.
 It took guarantee of s10000 to in- duce Ritchie to enter the ring. He has been stunning numerous boxers who as- pired to a chance at his title. holding off for "big money" This he succeeded in getting, for the Milwaukee club has promised him, it is said, an alternative of 40 per cent of the gate receipts.
 Both men are training in Chicago.

 Speaking of this rule, Dean Briggs wrote
 So far as l know, We have no inten- tion of changing it." He also adds, 1T wonder whether you have ever commun- icated with a former Amherst player named Kane. He was an extraordinary pitcher in his day, played summer ball. and Was, I think either directly or in- directly. the cause of falling out be- tween Amherst and another New England college, which objected to him on the score of professionalism. X year ago he spoke in an exceedingly interesting way at a meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic association in New York. His subject was Summer Baseball, and he dwelt if I remember rightly, on the dis advantages and dangers of it. on the money rewards of it, and on the desire ableness of warning undergraduates about it in perfectly clear language"

They will decide as to the num- Der of entries and the purses and stakes for each race.
 Joe Spanier, who will have charge of the races, said yesterday that indica- tions pointed to better races at this years fair than at any heretofore held Mir. Spanier said he had been in com munication with several of the horse men who were here last year and that many of them were going to enter their stock again.

New York. March S.-That the status of the collegian who plays summer baseball will remain unchanged at the leading eastern colleges and universi- ties appears certain from recent state ments issued by those in positions of authority Notwithstanding that num- Der of varsity team captains have pub licly stated their belief that a student may play baseball for money or other
 inducements during the summer vaca- ton and still preserve his amateur ath- letic status while in college. these Uto- plan days are not for the present world of undergra duate sport
 A consensus of opinion among the ath- letic governing bodies, university facul- ties and prominent amateur athletic au- thorities shows an overwhelming major ity against the innovation which would permit a baseball player to jump from amateur to professional ranks and back again according to the calendar of his college. recent canvas of the insti- tutions whose baseball teams appear on the Amherst schedule, undertaken by the official organ of that institution, indicates that of Il colleges, including Yale. Har- ward Princeton, Dartmouth, William, Wesleyan, Columbia, Brown and Young Mems Christian Association college but two, Tufts and Massachusetts Agricul- tural college favor summer baseball. Three colleges, Yale. Y. M. c. A. college and Tufts are noncommittal and have taken no definite stand. while six col leges, namely, Harvard, Princeton, Dart mouth, Williams, Wesleyan and Colum- bia, have definite rules prohibiting sum- mer baseball. The Harvard authorities call attention to the fact that Harvard has entered into no agreement to permit summer baseball, in spite of reports to the contrary, based on the opinions of the team captains thaS Yale, Harvard and Princeton contemplated such an agreement.
 Dean La Baron R. Briggs quotes the Harvard rule governing the case as fol- lows:
 NO student who has played on any semi-professional nine or in any such so- called summer baseball nine shall rep resent the university in any public ath-
