track meets and other athletic contests
for the men,
THE appeal of the national sport is as
strong in prison as it is without. When
it is made privilege and the reward OF
good behavior it becomes specially eff
fective instrument of reformation.
1t is far shift from the humane
methods of Colorado to the antiquated
ways of Florida in the treatment of prison.
ers, but none the less interesting. In
Florida, among negro prisoners in the tur-
pentine and lumber camps, baseball is the
chief sport, especially on Sunday after
noon during recreation hours.
No Frills in This Series
RUT in Florida there is no ball ground
with smooth clay surface and con-
crete fence There the convicts play in the
palmetto stubble, and sometimes in their
bare feet. Nearly all the men in the il
lustration are in their bare feet, which
does not hinder their running bases as
gracefully as Ty Cobb or Baker, though
perhaps not so rapidly. Their feet are al
most too swollen from constant standing
in swamp water or heavy dew and running
back and forth from tree to tree, as they
dip the turpentine, resin, or pitch, to fit
into the confines of baseball shoe.
There is hardly common shoe that
would fit some of these misshapen clubs
of feet.
But it does not by any means ruin the
spirit or zest of the game. The pitcher
swings his arm with all the Importance
and gusto Of big league twirler.
! The convict catcher makes only pre-
tense of catching the ball: this for the
principal reason that his mitt is small pro-
lection to his hand. 1t is constructed OF
hemp sacking. stuffed with grass or straw,
and it needs constant repacking and
handling to keep it in any kind OF usable
condition.

privilege bestowed only on the best be-
haved. The moment a player breaks Il
prison rule he no longer will be consid-
cred a member of the team, and the fan
who is recalcitrant will be barred from
the games.

 Guns Thunder Salute.
 As the presidents yacht, con- voyed by four destroyers, cached the flagship Wyoming, the first in line, the presidents salute of twenty one guns boomed across the water and reverberated back and forth between the Palisades and New York's sky scrappers. Each ship, as the Mayflower passed, thundered a similar salute, 336 guns in all.
 The Mayf1ower was followed by the dispatch boat Dolphin, carrying As sistant Secretary of the Navy Roose- welt, the yacht Irish of the commerce. department, the Yankton, as press boat ' the Dixie with the wives and friends of navy officers aboard; and a municipal ferryboat for the city board of aldermen. Their bands saluted each battleship with the playing ot the Star Spangled Banner, which the battleships' bands returned.
 President Wilson kept up a con- stant stream of questions to those

BILE AND BIL|OUSNESS

Coated tongue, bitter taste in the mouth, indigestion, headache, lack of appetite, constipation and a feeling of fatigue are effects of excessive secretion of bile. 4
 This condition is called biliousness and points directly to the need of something to regulate the liver. For this purpose Pinklets, the new laxative, are greatly superior to old-fashioned liver medicines which over-stimulate the liver and, when their use is stopped, leave it more torpid than before. Pinklets are tiny, sugar. coated granules that do not upset the stomach orcause gripping.

 Refuses to Keep Hat On.
 The frequent playing of the Ma tional Anthem kept the presidents head bare during most of the review. Despite the mist, he refused to keep his hat on.
 T have too much respect for the fleet and the anthem," he remarked.
 A miniature boat called the "Suf- frage," hanging on the Michigan, which later appeared in a water car nival last night, attracted the presi- dents attention, but he only smiled.
 Dinner Guest on Wyoming.
 The president remained aboard the yacht after she had again cast an- chor and at 730 was taken, in a navy launch, to the flagship Wyoming, where he was a dinner guest of Ad- miral Fletcher and officers of the fleet.
 The days program ended with a race, under the glare of searchlights. among the battleships' boat crews and the water pageant consisting of a

ATLANTIC FLEET IS REVIEWED BY WILSON President Bats Head Despite Mist
 While Anthem is Played.

New York, May 1S.-President Will son-the man on whom the eyes Of the world are turned because of the international situation-yesterday re- viewed the Atlantic fleet in the Hud- son river and at a luncheon given to him on shore by the city of New York, told distinguished gathering of navy officers, army officers and civilians what the country and it's navy stood for. The great battleships that lay in the river. he said, were engines to promote the interests of humanity"
 Waylaid by Suffragists.
 When the president left the room where the luncheon was held, women stepped out of an anti-room and, con- fronting him, exclaimed:
 Votes for women! Votes for women! MT. president. we have q message for you.p
 They got no further in their appeal. Four secret service men seized them and quickly took them away The president smiled.
 Off for Review of Fleet.
 The president boarded his yacht for the review at o'clock, after 8 quick trip from the Hotel Biltmore, where the lunchean was held. A half hour was spent in receiving of ficial visits from the flag officers and captains of the fleet and then the Mav- flower got under the way The president, together with Secretary of the Navy, Daniels, Secretary Lane, Secretary Redfield and Acting Mayor McAneny, stood on the yachts bridge. The fleet stretched ahead up the river for four miles, each ship dressed from stem to stem with pen nants and ensign, the national colors fiutterfng over the taffrails and at mastheads. The crews in blue ser vice uniforms, the officers in gold lace, manned the rails. Overhead dark clouds hung sullen and gray mist blew over the river, harmonizing with the gray of the battleships. but so thick at times that the furthermostl ships of the line could scarcely be distinguished from the Mayfiower's starting point.

AMERICAN KILLED
 BY MAYO INDIANS
Yaequs MtaaeiDg Mex can T(WI
 at BeCuul.

Washington, May 1S.-Immediate fears for the safety of 65 or more American settlers in the Yaqui val ley Mexico, where Yaqui Indians are on the war path, were relieved today by advices to the state and navy de- partments. The Americans, the re- ports said, had concentrated at Ia qui, Pueblo, on the railway within reach of the coast, but for the pres- ent they were waiting and hoping for restoration of order.
 A message sent Sunday by General Sosa, Villa commander in the Yaqui region. to Governor Maytorena, of Conora, was transmitted by the Amer ican consul at Nogales. General Sosa, said the Yaquis who had been attacking Yaqui Pueblo, an old settle ment where the Americans had con- centrated. had withdrawn and now were menacing small party of Mex ican soldiers at Becum. Colonel Racanegras. with 200 soldiers was pro- ceedine to Yaqui Pueblo to escort the Americans. to F'undiction or Tabaribay, where thev could be picked up by cruisers of the Pacific fleet.
 Losses Arc Heavy.
 "It is said" state department summary stated, that this arrange ment was made in order to give the colonists an opportunity to leave the valley in comparative safety. It is reported that the losses suffered in the present raid are heavy, and that until a permanent garrison is estab- lished in the valley there will be danger of the destruction of Ameri- can property.
 "On May 15, the manager of the Richardson Construction company at Guaymas telegraphed the American consul at Nogales that William stock e., who was wounded in the recent fighting with the Yaquic, has been sent to Empalme; that the bodies or Donovan, Wilson and Fay have been found and that there have been no further casualties among the Ameri- cans reported.
 Situation Improved.
 Consul Simpich states that from all he can learn the situation seems temporarily improved, although the Indians still control practically the whole region from Lencho to San Bias in Sinaloa.
 Officials of the United Sugar conn pany have informed Consul Simpich l that one of the American, employees | of the company was killed lately by l Mayo Indians with bows and arrows.
 Travellers Should Be Advised.
 Consul Simpicn states that Ameri- | can travellers should be advised of the turbulent conditions prevailing in Sonora and warned to refrain from entering the state. ~Fs

BOOM in CITY
BUILDINGS IS
NOW PREDICTED
Settlement of Federal Site to
Hasten important Construc-
ton Projects
LIVELY BIDDING FOR
-MAHUKA PLOT CERTAIN
Real Estate and Business Cir
cles GIaddened by Progress
Toward Public Structure

Stirred by the good news published
In the Star-Bulletin yesterday that the
federal building bill had passed the
lower house of Congress and the mil
lion-dollar structure would soon be
started, businessmen of the city pre-
dict much real estate activity as q
direct result.
The federal governments choice of
either the Irwin or the Spreckles site
for the building will leave the Mahuka
site, in the heart of the business dis
trict, available for general business
uses. It is prophesied that when the
government auctions off this valuable
piece of property the bidding will be
keen.
An unconfirmed report Is that the
government will fix an upset price OF
$4,000 on the Mahuka site. Real
estate experts this morning declared
that Uncle Sam will have no trouble
getting rid of the property at this fig
ure and 1t is generally believed that
the site will bring considerably more.
The real estate men generally do not
wish to put any figure on the property
value now, stating that they them
selves are likely to be bidders.
In 1907 the Mahuka site was bought
by the government for $104,125. Hence
during the seven years delay in def.
nitely getting a site, the property has
increased at least 100000 In value.
A well-informed businessman said
today that he looks to see a banking
center established around the Mahuka
site, particularly If the treasury de-
partment chooses the Spreckles site
for tie fedefal building. The First.
National Bank might hasten plans to
put up q building on its property at
Merchsnt and Bishop streets and part
of 1e Mahuka site might be taken
by another bank, 1t was intimated.
The real estate men are optimistic
over the prospects for activity in bust,
ness property as soon as Uncle Sam
signs a contract for the erection OF
the building. Several important con-
struction projects have hung fire large.
ly because of the delay in the fed
eral building.

Another speedy girl swimmer has
forged to the front In Coast competf

that she will come to Hawaii for the

merrier the meet. =. III
The latest sensation in the swim

turned from San Francisco In the

Miss Coles is considered just as fast
sprint swimmer as Miss Becker
and that her friends in San Francisco
are very anxious to have her make
the Honolulu trip. The proposition
has been made that San Francisco
raise $75 and Honolulu like amount,
and that Miss Coles be brought here
for the swimming meet
The Hui Au Kai has already rails
ed 5000, which has been turned over
to the Carnival committee, but this
organization is willing to tackle the
financial problem again If by doing so
they can add another outside entry to
the races. Miss Miriam Stacker will

tional SIS fund Anyone having sug-
gestions or real money to offer can

her way to the front to rejoin the Red
Cross corps. Mrs. Orlob Is going TO
her home in Germany. ..~'-.. .-...
Their picturesque stories were told
the Star-Bulletin last night shortly
after the arrival Of the Siberia. Sis
ter Elizabeth remained on duty in
Tsingtau during the entire siege of
that city, while Mrs. Orlob was one
of those who left the city shortly be-
fore the siege began on the "collie"
ship Paklat, governmentchartered
steamer, bound for Tientsin. Both
were eye witnesses OF the scenes
which they described.
The Germans surrendered Using
tau to the Japanese not only because
Of shortage of ammunition but large
ly because Of the Overwhelming odds
against which they. were fighting"
said Sister Elizabeth. Before the
siege the Germans numbered about
$500 men, the invading Japanese near
ly 100000 The German garrison was
well stocked with provisions at the
time Of the captnre.- A large part Of
the German ammunition was used
long before the actual siege began"
Kept Busy in Hospital.
Sister Elizabeth said She saw but
little of the actual fighting, as she was
indoors the greater part Of the time
caring for the wounded. She declined
to tell the number of Germans killed
during the engagement.
We were very glad when we saw
the steamer depart with the women
and children aboard" she said. That
was August %. There were six Ger
man nurses at Tsingtau and 35 pri-
yate nurses came and helped us after
the fighting had commenced. There
was plenty of food, enough to last
long time. There was not very much
ammunition, but it was not the lack
of this that caused the Germans to
surrender. 1T was the overwhelming
odds which they were fighting against.

CHARTER BLOCKS
Fight TO REMOVE
Lane APPOINTEES
Supervisors PoWerIesS to Re-
& consider Approval of White
house and AyIett

On technical legal point hangs the
question of whether the board Of su-
pervisors can force a reconsideration
of the appointment of several new
city officials by Mayor Lane The
principal appointees involved are l.. NJ.
Whitehouse. named to succeed City
Engineer Wall. and r. w. Aylett,
named superintendent of the garbage
system.
According to City and County Clerk
Kalauokalani section in the munich
pal charter, section 131, prevents such
reconsideration. This section reads:
ANY city and county officer may
remove from office any deputy, assist
ant or clerk appointed by him. And
any officer who shall have been APP
pointed by the mayor with. the approv-
al of the board of supervisors, may
be removed by the same authority"
A territorial statute gives the super
visors power to reconsider any action,
but according to Kalauokalani this
power does not extend to approval of
appointments. The only way, accord
ing to him, that Whitehouse and Ayl-
EFT could be forced out of office would
be their removal by Mayor Lane and
the supervisors approval of that re-
newal. The initiative, he says, must
be taken by the mayor and until the
mayor does something their hands are
tied.
Inasmuch as some of the supervisors
have indicated a positive intention of
making fight to have Wall remain
in office and especially to force out
Aylett because Of his past record, 1t
is possible that expert legal advice
may be sought on the point.
