Nobuto 0hama Pitches Eight
Games and Wins All of
Them In a Row

After losing the first game to the
I.ihues at the opening of the first series
of the Kauai Leagues, the McBrydes
spnrted up, winning her eighth straight
and final game which decided thu
championship, from the Makawei las
Sunday by score of IL to 5. By doing
so they have set Q record in the Kauai
League for straight games won.
The McBryde team has played con
sistent ball throughout the season un
der the able management of J. G..
Moura and the efficient captainey Of
,Denichi Takeuehi, who is considered
the peerless short fielder in the Kauai
League.
Winners Deserve Praise
The McBryde team as whole de-
serves heap of credit for the showing
II has made considering the fact that
some of the players have not partici.
pated in the Kauai League in previous
years. Nobuto 0hama, the kid finger
of the McBrydes who has not had any
previous experience on the mound and
who is, by the way, only seventeen
years of age, created a sensation and
placed him in the first place in the from.
ranks.
Eight games won in row for q
youngster who is not out of his teens
is something unique in baseball in
Kauai and is record for this island
that win undoubtedly stand for many

Were Strong On wailops
The McBrydes were strong both on
the offensive and in the defensive, par.
,ticularly. in the latter where they have
done some clover folding in the infeld,
and their teamwork was the main fac.
tor in capturing the pennant. Their
timely wallOps and clever base.running
also were very much in evidence.

PLOTTER EXPOSED
Intelligence Department Of Army
and Navy In Honolulu Gathered
Evidence Against Schirmann


II was learned yesterday that the in.
telligenee department. Of the army and
navy in Honolulu Npss responsible for
the evidence gathered against Konrad
sehirmann, the young German chemist
Of San Francisco, who was arrested in
that city and charged with plotting to
bomb vessels plying between the Isl.
ands and the mainland. 49,.
As the story was told yesterday by
federal agents, petty officer on the
Dutch cruiser iceland is responsible for
the information concerning the plans
Of Schirmann, who, while the vessel
was In San Francisco, Is alleged to have
offered him twenty-five dollars IL he
would allow two letters to be enclosed
in his own mail to Holland which would
be placed in n sealed mail bag and not
opened by the censor.
This the officer agreed 10 10, so he
took the letters, SchirmaDn, the federal
authorities say, promising to meet him
the next night with the money, Schir-
mann returned and without referring
to the money in question asked the
Dutch officer whether he had despatch.
ed the letters as promised. He said
he had, after which the German told
him he could not make the payment
that night bnt would do so the follow.
ing evening. The Dutch officer never
saw Schirmann again, 80 he kept the
letters which he had in his possession
when he arrived here with the iceland
on her voyage TO the Ne'lerland East
Indies. s n ..,. "
Both of the letters, one addressed to
Schirmann's parents and the other to
'any German consulate in Holland,
were turned over to the local depart
ment. In one of the letters he stated
that IL communication between San
Francisco and Honolulu could be IN
terrapted, the result would have a great
effect detrimental to commerce in
America and elsewhere. He said hack
of money was the only thing that pre-
vented him from carrying out his plans
information gained here was eabled
to District Attorney John W, Preston
at San Francisco, Schirmann's arrest
following shortly afterward. "a
1t is said by the authorities that the
Dutch officer whom Schirmann ap.
proached made statements while under
the influence of liquor, which led to an
investigation by the, local federal Off
Ger. His remarks were overheard by
one who understands the Dutch lang
uage and il was the latter who inform
ed the authorities.
With the aid of a local Dutch inter
prefer, the officer, told the federal agent
the whole story; how he had been
asked by Schirmann, 10 place the letters
in the, sealed mail pouch; how Schir,
manh/had promised to pay but failed
to do SO; how he had come TO make the
remark which later caused the arres,
of the German chemist in San Fran
cisco; in fact everything that could be
of assistance in running down the con
spirator.
The feeling as expressed in the city
yesterday is that Schirmann power
has been somewhat over estimated by
San Francisco, 1t is said that he could
not have been q master spy" for h6
never had an opportunity to put hi.
plans into effect. He is regarded more
as a radical than a systematic plotter.

have forged ahead of other countries
in music in the public schools, and to-
day America stands at the head in this
line of work. The methods employed
in teaching music in the schools in
America have obtained better results.
TT is not our aim to turn out finished
musicians. but we do aim to give every
boy and girl in the public schools n
foundation in music such as they get
in other studies. The first and most
important secret of teaching children
music is to teach them to listen. After
acquiring Il good ear for listening they
make rapid progress. When children
begin TO understand music they grow
more appreciatiYe and are anxious to
learn.
The progress that has been made in
teaching music in the public schools
has been slow. but sure. The subject
of psychology when introduced has
made a wonderful change"

west testified he engaged Beaverton as
counsel in suit which he desired to
file in the Municipal Court. The wit
ness said he paid the lawyer s1.S5
which he asked for, but that suit was
not filed.
Beaverton, who had pleaded guilty
to the charge. testified he intended 10
file the suit. but through some informa-
ton he had received he did not do so.
He offered to refund the money to the
complainant.
The court held him guilty. Judge Null
lowry, in imposing sentence, said he
would refer the case to the probation
officer.
Beaverton, who has been blind all of
his life, has been a well known figure
about the courts for a number Of years.
Lawyers and court attendants some
years ago furnished funds for him that
Law School, from which he received a
degree. Later he went to the middle
west and started to practice. His
af1iction, however. was a handicap to
him, and he returned to this city.
Several months ago Beaverton was

This he denied. Judge Pugh took his

To HEAR THE SMALLER ~
PAPERMAKERS FIRST
Federal Trade Commission Will Not
Make Report Until Their
Side Is Presented.

Pending arrangements to be made this
afternoon by the federal trade commits
sion, the question as to whether the pro-
posed hearings to be held by the commits
sion this week with newspaper publishers
and news print paper manufacturers are
to be public or private is in allegiance
Members of the commission decided to
open up anew the whole controversy be-
tween manufacturers and publishers, fol-
lowing the startling proposal made last
week by the leading news print paper
manufacturers that the trade commission
fix a maximum selling price for their
product and supervise the distribution.
Desiring to hear from smaller manu-
facturers. the commission has decided
to hold it's report on the big manufac-
turerss PROPOSAL until it can hear the
side of the smaller manufacturers
throughout the country. 1t is felt that
additional hearings are absolutely nee
essary.
1t was understood here this morning
that the hearing to be attended by
manufacturers of print paper and
newspaper publishers would be in the
open, but later in the day it was found
that this question was still to be con-
sidered,by the trade commission.

HALIFAX AS CALL PORT
FOR CARGO SHIPS ONLY
So Many Difficulties Encountered
That Kirkwall May Be Used
for Passenger Vessels.

British authorities have encountered
so many difficulties in the plan to make
Halifax a port of call instead of Kirk
wall that they may abandon the idea,
or at least limit 1t to cargo ships. The
British government has been giving
this subject careful study, but up to to-
day had not reached decision, although
II had been expected that formal notice
would be issued last week.
While disposed to adopt the new prac-
tice partly in the interests of neutrals,
the British authorities have found so
many practical difficulties in the way
that they are inclined TO insist upon ad-
herence TO the old rule that ships coming
within the war zone must report at Kirk
wall II is said to he certain that if
any examinations are permitted at Hall
fax they will be limited strictly TO cargo
boats for the reason that mail and pas
senger ships require much more extensive
inspection force, estimated as high as
5000 men who would otherwise be in mill
tary service.
The State Department has been unable
20 make any official request to make
Halifax a port OF call because 10 do SC
would involve a recognition of the whole
scheme OF the entente blockade.
