ming both races before the largest crowd
that has gathered in the grandstand

successful entries.

straight heats, barely nosing out Boiler

Binoko gave Duty Bound a hard fight in
the first heat, but, the latter won out
on the home stretch. A. s. Nolan of
Alexander City is the owner of Duty

The 2:3o pace went four heats, Brown
Gentry finishing second in the opening
heat and winning the three remaining by
only a narrow margin Oxomis won the
first heat, but fell down to fifth and
third places in the remaining heats. The
best time for the heats was made in the

Walsh and Scott threw out Myers by
a spectacular play. Scott rushed in
and got Myers sharp grounder in front
of second and whipped the ball to Hob
litzell as the Red Sox fans cheered.
Then came the climax. Hoblitzen
drew his fourth base on balls in his
sixth trip to the plate He went to
second on Lewis sacrifice, Smith to
Cutshaw Amid intense excitement and
a terrific din Carrigan sent Gamer in
to bat for Gardner and McNally ran
for Hoblitzell. Gamer had one strike
on him when he laced the ball to left
field McNally dashed around third and
the crowd cheered frantically when
they saw Wheats throw to the plate
go wide and McNally easily tailed the
run which gave the Red Sox their sec
ond straight victory.

NAVAL TRIBUNAL MAY
PROBE FISKE CONDUCT
Departmental Inquiry Possibly Will
Result from Impeachment of
Daniels Veracity.

The possibility that naval court OF
inquiry may be the outcome of the
quarrel between Rear Admiral Bradley
Fiske and Secretary of the Navy Daniels
was widely discussed yesterday.
Secretary Daniels now has before him
the letter of Rear Admiral Fiske. made
public yesterday by the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee, in which the Admiral
substantially accuses the Secretary OF
misstatements.
Admiral Fiske's letter was written in
reply to a statement by Secretary Daniels
that he had no knowledge Of a report
on preparedness which the Admiral wrote
November 10. Admiral Fiske maintained
he showed the report to the Secretary.
Navy Department officials point out
that IL Secretary Daniels desires. there
could be a court of inquiry to determine
whether Admiral Fiske has violated navy
regulations or is guilty of conduct unbe-
coming an officer.
There is a great deal OF feeling on both
sides in the controversy and If court
of inquiry is held, either on the initiative
Of the Navy Department or on demand OF
Admiral Fiske, the proceedings will per-
haps be as interesting as those OF the
famous Schley court OF inquiry.

EVERYBODY KNEW,

THAT PIER BULGE
Engineer Morgan's Statements
Draw Forth. h.Emphatic Reply;
Rumor>IncIudes Forbes

J. G. Morgan's statement made yes
terday to the Star-Bulletin that he
alone of the territorial officials AMI
engineers on Piers 8, and 10 knew
of the bulging out OF the Pier 9 wall
is unqualifiedly contradicted today by
Ed Lord, president of the Lord Young
Engineering Company, contractors.
To direct question put to him as
to whether or not Charles r. Forbes,
superintendent of public works and
chairman of the harbor commission,
knew OF the bulging out of the pier,
Lord gave an answer that does not
directly implicate this official
He says, with significant emphasis:
Everybody down there knew it. Any
engineer who looked at the job with
half an eye couldn't help knowing it. :"
When the Star-Bulletin brought to
many weeks ago he stopped the dredg-
ing and fill on finding that the wall
was bulging, and that Forbes was
acquainted with this fact, Lord said he
preferred to say nothing at this time.
AS to the other members of the har-
Dor board, Lord frankly says he does
not believe they were aware of the
facts and he gives them Individually
and as body credit for acting in all
sincerity and good faith.
Lord also says frankly that the now
famous "lie" incident at the board
meeting, when he and Forbes passed
the "Short and ugly" word, was due
largely to his own amazement and
enger at hearing from the superin.
tendent of public works the statement
that the wall had not bulged
After knowing as ! knew that the
wall had bulged, and knowing how
common the talk of its condition had
been for weeks, this nearly knocked
me off my feet" he said Il knew
that Morgan and Greger were &C.
quainted with the facts and that every.
body seemed to be aware of it.

Just how small the world is and

Tenney Peck, president Of the First
National Bank of Honolulu, who re-
Gently returned with his family from
six-months' tour of the United States
and Canada, tells of novel expert
ence in the Canadian brush.
He left here with the intention of
spending recreational vacation, pure
and simple, and he says he was sue
cessful. His physical appearance
bears ou. the statement. Intending
to go into the Maine Businesses, Peck
heard that trout fishing was magnifi-
cent in the virgin forests about 100
miles north of Quebec. and he spent
three wonderful weeks there thinking
he was the only one from Hawaii who
had trod such happy fishing ground
To mis- surprise, however, he ran upon
the name of Wells, former manager
of Wailuku plantation, carved in the
log of a little cabin far up in the
mountains about 80 miles from no.

closely while in New York and re-
ports that IL is the hope of great men

New York and not London, Paris or
Berlin will be the great center
through which the transactions of ma
tions will be cleared
The rate on "calI' loans took a
higher turn while Mr.. Peck was in
New York. chiefly on account of
diminutiCn of the reserves of banks
handling them. Trading on the ex-
change is more brisk than ever be.

and the drain on the Allies bank rolls
has been so severe that English SOW
