TO Change DATES
OF ELECTIONS

Presumably to give legislators an
opportunity to thoroughly look into
and pass upon the proposed new city
charter for Honolulu, Representative
Lorrin Andrews, in a bill introduced
in the house Wednesday. seeks to set
one month later the cate Of the gen.
eral election OF officers OF the city
and county Of Honolulu
The adoption OF this bill, and its
becoming a law, would automatically
change the date of the local primary
election, setting it one month later
than the present fixed date. 1t is con.
coded that, IL the 1917 primary cleo
ton is held in April, as now provided
by law. the legislators will not have
had time to thoroughly consider and
pass upon the charter.
1t is now provided that the local
1917 general election shall be held the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in May. The primary election, 1t is
provided. shall be held on the fourth
Tuesday prior to the regular election,
which would be in April.
Andrews bill provides that the gem
eral election shall be held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
June, 1917. and every second year
thereafter. The bill provides that of.
ficers so elected shall take office on
the first day OF July. The BIN now is
on second reading and has been re-
ferred to the committee on municipal
affairs.

BILL STRIKES At
INDETERMINATE
SENTENCELAW
Andrews Would Restore DiScre.
ton of Judge and Prevent
All Sentence Committing

At the instance of Circuit Judge
Ashford. who presided over the crimi-
nal work Of the local circuit court foT
nearly three years, bill will be intro
duced In the house by Representative
Lorrin Andrews next week, which, II
Ii become law, will do away with
the indeterminate sentence.
The hackers Of this measure con-
tend that the indeterminate sentence
has worked a hardship on prisoners
and that 1t has required them 70 serve
a much longer sentence than presum-
ably would be required under the old
system, where the Judge has complete
discretionary powers. Under the IN
determinate system the maximum
penalty is fixed by law.
For instance, II the maximum pen
atty is 10 years and person is SEN
fenced to prison for not less than five
years, he must remain in prison for
five years before he becomes eligible
for parole. II he is not paroled at the
end OF five years he may be compelled
to serve the entire maximum, or 10
years.
To Change Parole System
Another bill, proposed by Judge
Ashford and to be introduced by
Representative Andrews. win have
bearing on the parole system OF
prisoners now In vogue In the terri
tory. Il Is asserted that this system
now is bound with red tape.
Il have consulted with Judge Ash
ford as to the working OF this sys-
tenn" says Representative Andrews,
and he has suggested bin, which,
II II become a law, win make the
present system far more workable.
giving substantial justice to persons
applying for parole
Circuit Judge Ashford recently
brought up the question Of the right
of the governor to commute sen.
fences; for instance, to commute to
life imprisonment the sentence of a
person who has been sentenced to
death.
Right TO Commute Sentences
Supporters OF proposed bill. which
is expected to come before the house
next week, contend that the governor
has been committing sentences when
there Is nothing in the Organic Act
giving him this right. II is proposed
to introduce q bill which VIII put the
question sQuarely before the legisla.
ture. leaving that body to decide
whether the governor shall have this
power OF communication, or whether
he shall not.
II is understood that number Of
other bills Of importance, all affecting
the Judiciary. are being prepared for
introduction In the house at an early
date.

rather sharply to deep short field. The
shortStop had to sprint several feet to
his right in order to stop the ball.
Then he had to recover his balance
and set himself for long, hard throw.
al this took time and although the ball
went straight and true into the first
b2Semau's nit, it took n large frac
ton of second TO travel across that
intervening space. The batter made 4
quick getaway from the plate. Half
the success of beating throw is in
getting Il good start He was reason
ably fast man and he ran well. But
he knew when he hit the ball that
he had no time to spare. He was GU
rious TO see il the ShortStOp field
cd the ball clean and just what were
his chances of beating out the throw.
This curiosity led him to cast one look
out across the diamond to where the
shortstop was trying to field the ball
and although he did not cease running,
in that oRessiook, extraordinarily
Slackened his speed. How much time
did he lose? Probably at least two
iifths Of Il second. and that robbed
him of n hit and perhaps robbed his
teammates Of the victory.

In the Baseball Magazine Ed Reul-
bach has an article disclosing how
much two-fifthS of a second affects safe
hitting. We quote in part from his
magazine story
"Out," yelled the umpire. The base
runner ran hard. He dug his spikes
into the ground and hurled himself at
the bag. But the ball beat him out in
the race by perhaps one-fifth of a
second.
The infielders tighten their belts.
clap their hands to their gloves and
call to one another. "That'S the boy
get the next one now" They are on
their toes, alert, spirited, eager. The
base runner, hopping his face, ambles
back to the dugout and takes his place
dejectedly on the bench. Perhaps
someone asks him why he didn't beat
the ball. He answers CURLY that he
ran his best. There is a general feel
ing that he did run hard under the

Babe Ruth seems to be going well

that has to win game to get into the
standing.
The University Of Pennsylvania beat

contributed only two hits, but Williams
helped runs along with errors and bat
terry mistakes.
Although Maranville and Evers each
made two errors yesterday Barnes de
feated Alexander by a score of to !.
Maranville contributed triple and a
single that made up for his errors.
After looking over the lineup Of the
Pirates it is no wonder that Callahan
is credited with wanting Fred Merkle
to play first. Also it is no wonder
that Merkle objects to leaving his
berth with Brooklyn
While the attendance III the west al
