Rev. l. l.. I-oofbourow, in an inter

ing. Where Greatness Became
Great" He told of the letter which
Lincoln once wrote to a friend, in
which he said, 81 am profitabiy en-
gagged in reading the Bible Take all
of this book upon reason that you can,
and THE balance on faith, and you will
live and die better man." .:... H..
Mr.. LOofbourow continued:
NO other American statesman
quotes so largely from the Bible in
his speeches and state papers, After
1858 no address is preserved that does
not draw, from that source. One may
find a half dozen direct or Indirect
Scripture quotations on single page.
And some of his state documents draw
both thought and language from the
Bible, and move On It's high level OF
moral and religious feeling. So no.
ticeable is this that Richard Watson
Glider long ago called Father Abra-
ham a statesman with the heart Of a
prophet. :~.. ..-....
Views On Moral Questions. ...-....
"His views on moral questions were
determined by the Bible. So it was
with slavery. I know that there is
God. and that he hates injustice and
slavery. see the storm coming, and
I know that His hand is in it. If he

OFFICER
WILLNOT HAVE
REHEARING
Civil Service Commission De-
CIineS to Reopen Case on Pc
tition of Jesse Gray

Jesse Gray, Wahiawa police officer,
was this noon denied a re-hearing or
the charges against him by the Civil
Service Commission. After reading
summary of the additional testi-
mony he has declared in the petition
for q rehearing that ne could offer. 1t
was decided that there was nothing
TO warrant a re-opening of the case
and the petition was denied.
Comment by the commissioners on
the testimony to be Offered was TO the
effect that IL was but repetition IF
what had been offered before. There
is nothing here to disproye the charge
that he accepted money for the pro
lection of the chefa games" said the
chairman of the commission. Lorrin
Andrews. as the reading was finished.
Besides We are in the position of the
sheriff-to decide whether or not
Gray is the right sort of man for his
position on the force, not to decide
whether or not he is guilty Of a crime
that will all be settled by the grand
jury, according to the city attorney.
- A. NJ. Brown, city attorney, spoke
when the last paragraph of Gray's Pc
tition had been read and asked per-
mission to make word of comment
on it. Gray came to me with blood
in his eye the day after the newspa-=
pers published this petition and want.
ed to know where the last paragraph,
that declaring he told Deputy Sheriff
H. II. Plemer he believed there was.
chefa in operation in Wahiawa and
asked his help in closing up the bank
only to be denied, had come FROM" he
said. HE wouldn't believe it was in
the petition until showed it to him
and then he declared it was all false,
that he never had made any such
statement. The last | saw Of him he
was bound for the office of the attor
neys who drew up the petition for
him." " .*.

Lymers are on the mainland and
friends of theirs who have the house
were spending the weekend on Tanta-
lus. The Japanese man got pistol
and fired to Tighten the would-be in

added their voices to the report of the
gun, they succeeded ir sending the
prowler awayben the run. - J..

star players by the more prosperous clubs, to the disadvantage of the second division organizations. The Tease of the New York club is held up as an example of the abuse of the trading and purchasing practice late in the season. Tn landing Zim- merman, Herzog, Sallee and Me Carty, 1t is pointed out that the clubs selling these players were weakened.
 As a result of these protests, it is very probable that the National League, when 1t meets in New York next month, will draft q new rule prohibiting the sale or trade of a player after August 1. In fact, some of the clubs will make a fight to prohibit sales after July 15.
 The sale of Iris Speaker by Bos- ton to Cleveland in the American League drew a big protest from seS- eral American League club owners, and 1t is not at all unlikely that the younger league will also make a new ruling against the practice.

Kid MoCov Game. AnywaY.

Kid Mccoy, the old-time middle weight champion. is 48 years old. The Kids ring career extended over nearly a score of years, but appar- ently he hasn't got all the fight out of his system yet. When Uncle Sam called for men to protect the Mexican border Norman selby-to give him his real name-was among the first to respond to the sum mons. Failing to get any action in Texas, the Kid is now threat ening to cross the pond and lick the German army. The Kid has always been fellow who was willing to try anything once, and, between fights, he has followed every known profession and business, and invent ed a few new lines.

There is hardly a char acter in this great biz production, } of the male sex, that she does not pull the wool over their eyes and gets away with it for a time and ,then-but that would be telling Of some of the big climaxes And the cast-it is practically an all star cast. From the man. the laborer who works in the grimy, molten lead room at the foundry to the fash ionably dressed leading characters. al. are stars. Destruction" is a la bor play, an Educational photo play, educational from the artisans viewpoint as well as from that of the student of economics. The blending of the industrial and the narrative sides of the picture, how ever. is exceptionally well done and neither side suffers thereby.
 The Selig Tribune is also good. Both will be given for the remain der of the week.

oAvenpinp Conscience. ,

As picture, taken from all angles Averaging Conscience is a remarkable one. As a subject it is grewsome in parts. horribly so, but there is just enough cheerfulness to cut in on the morbidness. AS for acting. the smallest parts are han died by stars. Averaging Con- science" is taken from portions of the various Edgar Allen Poe works. Every portion is well handled and for those who have not seen "The Birth of Nation" the work of Henry B. Walthall in this produc- tion should be seen. He oyorshad- ows Blanche Sweet and the many other stars. Averaging Conscience" lis just what the title means, the conscience illustrated of a man who has committed a murder. This will be on tonight and tomorrow.

Kind of Stuff That Wulf Has
 Brings Winners.

"YouIl need this tomorrow" said Capt. Jack Wulf of Milwaukee, Wis, recently, handing an excellent likeness of himself to a Chicago chronicler of sporting events at the Grand American Trapshooting tour nament in St. Louis, Mo-, for l am going to win the Grand American Handicap today" Wulf may have been joking at the time, but it was no joke when he finished the event for he had won.
 At the time of the above remark Wulf was one down in twenty hay- ing missed his sixth target. There were several with scores of twenty and a number of others who had to- tailed forty without a miss. But Wulf did not miss any more, finish ling with an unbroken record of ninety-three. Then he proceeded to break into small pieces another fifty targets-more or less-for the benefit of the movies" and other camera fends.

Mary PickfOrd.

In "The Girl of Yesterday" which opened at the Dream last night for the weekend run, Mary Pickford, the dainty star, goes right up in the air not Gguratiyely speaking but literally. In this production Miss Pickford is seen aeroplaniug with Glenn Martin. But that aeroplane ride is only incidental to the main plot. Miss Pichord as usual is ex- cellent and sh6 is sUarrounded by a strong company and the scenery in this play is good. "The Girl of Yes terday" is a modern play built around happenings of today and not one that has gone back a century or so.
 Besides Miss Pickford there is a comedy and the Paramount side bit pictures which are always inter- esting.

No Place for Peace Dove

William Jennings Bryan and Hem ry Ford. chaperons of the Dove of Peace, could have had an ideal day in the Los Angeles Lasky studio, where Paramount-Lasky pictures are produced. last week.
 That wonderful air. Mans Hu- Imanity to Man" permeated the en- tire studio. Nothing but sympathy, love. kindness and devotion was shown by the different actors and directors.
 In one part of the grounds for the Lou-Tellegen production of "The Victoria Cross, the Sepoy Mutin- Ieers were playtully shooting down women and children within the walls of Cawnpore. Over on the stage. Theodore Roberts. as Anton, in Anton the Terrible" was com hitting suicide while right next to him Marie Dcro was beating Veda .McEvers with riding crop for the Lasky production of "The Lash in which Miss Doro is starring.
 Still further along, Blanche Sweet was having a fight with an old woman for the production Of '"A Woman's Victory" Fannie Ward was watching her mother die from witches potions for her pro- duction of "Witchcraft."
 It was a great day and much re- gret was expressed that William and Henry could not have been there to see the wonderful effect their peace propaganda has on the photo dramatic art.

Great hittcr1 produce some unique records in the way of roll ing up their ayei ages. Take the case ol Ty Cobb. Last season Cobb led the league in hitting and piled up a total of POS hits. In compil- ing this record, Tyrus was slamming the ball consistently. Only once during the 1915 season did he amass as many as four hits in one game.
 During the season just closed Ty- rus was forced to bow before the slugging prowess of Iris Speaker. Tristan led Tyrus both in the mat ter of hitting average as well as in the number of hits registered. Cobb
