Maui GuardSmen In
Night Sham Battle
Men Of LIST. Battalion Getting VigOr-
GUS Pratice - Athletic Contests
Planned For Near Future - Lack
Of Equipment A Handicap

AS a result of a visit made to La
haina week ago, by Major II. B. Pen
hallow, Capt. f. A. Lufkin, 1t. Seabury
Short, 1t. Geo. Weight, and Sgt. Wetz-
ell u. S. A, there promises to be a
large amount of friendly rivalry in a
short time between the companies of
the 1st and End Battalions of the 3rd
Regiment, N. G.. II. This will be prob
ably be marked in matter of athletics.
A challenge for an indoor baseball
game with one of the Wailuku COM
panies has been made by the Pukolii
Company, and will probably take place
soon in the Wailuku armory
The WailulIu companies are show
ing much interest in getting their
armory fitted up ,and already there
has been little practice in the rifle
gallery, and on the volley ball court.
Last week, a practice night march
was executed by the 1st Battalion,
in which a small sham battle was
fought, Company A representing the
enemy and being supplied with a few
rounds of blank ammunition. The eX-
ercises We're of considerable interest
and the men all entered with zest
into the work. d Company formed the
advance guard, and the detachment
at the point of advance which located
and engaged the enemy" was in
charge of Sgt. Frank Sylvia. The eX-
ercises were of much interest, and the
men entered with spirit into the work
in hand
Target Practice Soon
Under direction of Capt. Whitehead,
the ranges in the sandhills are being
rapidly put into shape, the 200, the
300, and the 500-yard ranges be-
ing now completed, All of the COM
panies of the 1st Battalion will soon be
hard at work perfecting themselves
in the use of the rife.
Lack of equipment has been the
most serious handicap to progress in
the Maui companies. Only a small
part of the troops have uniforms, and
few of these are complete. And in
the matter of arms the deficiency is
stiE worse Although the men are
doing well considering this lack of
really necessary material, it is GER
tain that much greater interest will be
shown when uniforms and rifles are
available for all companies.

WIG. Ogg'S Suicide Is
Shock To Friends
Man OF Many High Qualities Former
/ Resident OF Maui = Left No Word
To Explain Deed - Held Respect
OF All

The tragic death of William G. Ogg,
manager of the Hawaiian Sugar Com
panys plantation at Pahala, Hawaii,
news of which first reached here last
Friday, was the occasion of the deep
est regret on the part of the many
Maui residents who had known the de-
ceased well. The fact that the unfor-
tunate man had died by his own act
added to the shock Though it is re
ported that the deceased had appeared
to worry over the effects of the dry
weather on the cane on the plantation.
the agents of tn emcoan Ply
the agents of the company, C. Brewer
Company, did not credit the idea
that business worry could have been
the cause of the fatal act. However,
no other possible cause has been pub
licly advanced, and so far as is known
no hint was given of the contemplated
act, nor written word left by the de-
ceased to explain it.
Mr.. Ogg shot himself with a 80 cal
iber automatic revolver through the
mouth, the bullet ranging upwards
through his brain, and death must
been almost instantaneous. The act
was probably committed on Monday
evening of last week, but the body
was not discovered until about noon
on Wednesday when Mrs. Ogg and Dr.
Alfred r. Thomas found it in grove
of trees not far from the Halfway
House, some miles above Pahala.
Left Home Suddenly
A report from the Big Island gives
some further details as follows:
The last that was seen of Mr.. Ogg
was on Monday afternoon. He re-
turned to his residence from the fields,
changed from his working clothes into
the garments he usually wore about
the house, and seemed about to remain
home for the evening. Befor having
dinner, however, at about five o'clock,
he made a remark regarding dry or
burning cane, and left the house, using
the company's Ford runabout automo-
bile. Nothing further was heard of
Mr. .Ogs until his body was discovered
by Mrs, Ogg and DR.. Alfred r. Thomas
shortly before noon on Wednesday.
Apparently no anxiety was felt at
Mr.. Ogg's absence from his home on
Monday evening or even on Tuesday,
one of the servants stating that Mrs.
Ogg informed her that her husband
had left for Hilo. 1t was not until
Wednesday that inquiries were first
made. Then Doctor Thomas and Mrs.
Ogg set out in Doctor Thomas auto
mobile, and when passing the old pic

States Rights and the New Army.

Champions OF the National Guard are Just
now before the house committee in Washington
urging their plans for training soldiers in pref
erence to the presidents OF the experts OF the
war college. This brings the question Of stste's
rights a. applied 70 national defense squarely
into consideration. The adoption OF the plan for
a Continental army. or for the expansion Of the
regular establishment means practical extinction
for the National Guard organization. at least so
far as IL lie a state institution relied on to supply
! sufficient fighting force in time of war.
Whatever plan is ultimately adopted. certain
defects OF the National Guard must be done away
with before IL can become an effective part OF
the nations military force. The underlined status
Of state troops has proved embarrassing ip every
war in which our people have engaged. The ex-
perience OF the campaign in the Philippines Is a
good illustration. II was necessary in 1899. at
most critical period OF the operations. to
muster out the state troops then in the islands

valor. but because they we're subject TO the mali
cous meddling OF scheming politicians.
The Continental army has one appealing
recommendation; It will be out Of reach OF local
politics, while the National Guard is not and
may never be.

Nebraska knows when to jump. but whether
he knows how to alight remains to be seen. He
has Just written to Chairman Kitchin OF the
house ways and means committee a note that

gone before friendly court.
However. II is not so utterly and completely
