Fred Clarke Made Wise
Move in Quitting Pirates

CHICAGO, Sept s.-Two years ago
Fred Clarke resigned as manager Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates. He had been in
the game so long that he tired of it and
thought he would retire to look after
his farming interests. An article in
The Free Press" OF Winfield, Kan,
says that Clarke has just completed
thrashing wheat raised on the Little
Pirate ranch. His wheat ran from
thirty to thirty-two bushels an acre,
and amounted in all to 10000 bushels.
Most of it was sold at $3.50 bushel.
From the several farms he owns in
Kansas it is said he will make $4,000

on his young team mate, Leo Glebel,

/ all that the vice committees report had said of

and WHISTLES were seized. In one place-a Chinese

GoDan Cupid One
Better and Stage
Real Hopement

They sought to fool their friends
and were successful-unth today,
when the news leaked out. However.
it is the hope of their many friends
that they will not regret the exciting
adventure that comes to but few
couples who plan to see minister, ana
that they may live happily ever
after" as the story books say.
William G. Matthias is assistant
bookkeeper at Eva plantation. Mrs.
Matthias, who was Jessie Cannon, Is
employed by Henry May & Co. They
had been the best of friends and
finally their acquaintance ripened to
an extent where Dan Cupid decided
to take hand. The little winged goo
of love took a big handful and last
Saturday evening mysterious party
off uor persons sneaked down to the
home of a Hawaiian minister at Waia-
lua.
1t was an elopement with all the ex-
element one reads about in the maya
zines, SO the witnesses assert. The
young couple had intended to keep
their marriage secret, but details oil
the adventure leaked out In a mys-
terious fashion, and when Mrs. Mat
thias reached her desk this morning
ii was decorated with a profusion OF
flowers, rice and probably few dis
carded shoes. It is rumored that
there was not a little excitement when
the happy groom wandered into the
plantation office this morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthias have a host
of friends in Honolulu and in the
country who doubtless will be sur
prised to learn of the ceremony. They
have made no definite plans for the
future, but probably will make their
home at Eva. The witnesses at the
ceremony were Miss Miriam Stacker
and Ira Davis. -ss 3

WAIKIKI LOOKED LIKE
BEAN SOUP ON SUNDAY

Tourists who had come thousands
of miles to see Hcnolulu's far-famed
Waikiki had an opportunity to look
upon it Sunday when it was the color
of thick brown bean soup and about
as pleasant to swim in. There was
plenty of nourishmert in the water,
but not for human beings. It would
have made excellent garden fortified.
The water was dark brown for nearly
half mile out.
The discoloration of the usually
clear water along the beach at that
point was caused by the floods of muddy
water which Friday and Saturday
poured into the sea from Manoa
stream, which empties into the ocean
between the Outrigger Canoe Club
and the Moana- 1t was still flowing
in and was very much coffee-colored
Sunday afternoon at sunset.
At the Halekulani and further Eva
along the beach, at Fort De Russy
and the Pierpoint, the water was fine
and clear, because no stream flows
into the sea at or near those points.
Completion of the Waikiki reclama'
ton project would divert the flow OF
Manoa stream now emptying at the
Outrigger and cause it to meet the
sea at a point where there is no
bathing, thus freeing Waikiki of the
present pollution after each heavy
rain. ~

CONTROL OF SALOON LOCATIONS

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
. Sir: While it may hardly be eI-
pected that the license commissioners
will take the responsibility OF abol-
ishing the liquor traffic in Honolulu
by the negative method Of refusing
licenses, yet there is one means
whereby they could and should mit1-
gate the nuisances. attaching TO the
saloon system. This. is to make re-
strictions as to locations Of saloons,
as President Dole did under the re-
public when he decreed that the grant
ing of licenses in the principal re-
tail trade section should cease. He
thus drove the last saloon off lower
Fort street.
When the projected widening OF
Hotel street at Fort is accomplished.
saloons ought to be tabued on that
thoroughfare as far from Fort street
as Maunakea, if not throughout its
whole length. At least the theater
section-taking in the Empire, Ha-
wall and Bijor-should be protected
from saloon contact.
GOOD ORDER.
