NEW YORK July 10.-Fear OF
top heavy race in the two big leagues
viii be dispelled in the American
league, at least, unless the two lead
ers-Boston and Chicago-take a
brace.
Today the two Sox are almost at
deadlock while the Cleveland In
dams, with three straight victories
pver the Red Hose. are gradually
drawing nearer as challengers.
The Red Sox, so far have failed to
live up to past road performances.
In the last campaign they kicked all
the opposition out of the west and
won their pennant while battling on
foreign fields.
The White Sox are losing time.
With their strongest competitors on
The uneven side of the scales in their
Invasion, the Sox have the oppor-
tunity now to widen the gap that
separates them from the second
place club.
The Athletics have begun to gum
up this chance by whipping the Row
land athletes two games out of the
present series. If they can't do bet
ter against the stronger clubs their
chances are slight at the present
stage of operations.
New York is oyerbalancing the Ma
tional league array. Unless some
thing happens, hope is going to fit
from five to six baseball towns in
habited by National league clubs.
The Giants won again from the
Cardinals and will take another
whack at Miller Higgins precocious
pretenders today.
Meanwhile the Phillies have been
tagging, the Cardinals have failed to
gain, and only the Reds have shown
any pronounced signs of life.

The Call For Volunteers

Within the next few DAYS will be determined the
fate ofhe volunteer system applied TO the United
States army
The national administration apparently will not
attempt 10 put through universal service bill until
the volunteer system has been given tryout. Pre-
sident Wilson, after some years Of evident opposi
ton decomposition, recently made ic known that he
now agrees withlthe army heads that the time
honored optional enlistment plan will not answer

Piston has struck snag. Speaker Clark and Chair
man Kitehin Of the ways and means committee told
the president that the house would not stand for
transcription.
Signs point TO the fact that the administration
will now put the volunteer system to the test 1T is
significant that almost Immediately after the
Wils0n-e lark Kitchin conference the call for mme
date enlistment OF national guard organizations to
full strength went ont over the country from the
department through the governors of states and
territories. The wording Of Governor Pinkham's
proclamation, ppbljshed in the news columns last
Saturday and the ADVERTISING columns today, is
equally Significant. In part ii SAYS a.All men en-.

In and around Hilo there is estab.

These men have been sworn in as
special police officers and they are
being paid by the county. When the

committee OF safety, only one super

wanted to know what the appropri-
alton asked for was intended for.

the guards were at once installed.
Some time ago 1t was decided that

lection for certain proper ties,
special guards should be obtained.
especially as the governor would not

police force could take care Of itself,
but that the Island Of Hawaii was

This step was considered to be ALSO

had happened In other countries as
soon as war was declared.
In the event of the militia leaving
Hawaii there will be nobody to pro-
tect the county in Daseof riots or
raids. The police force Is too small
and there win be- no trained men to

CHARTER REVISION WITHOUT IMPROVE
MENT - .."-.--

The city charter bill which came out of the senate
Saturday afternoon offers no guarantee of improve
ment over the present charter. How il would work
is of course only to be told definitely by experience
but Of its features seem certain to breed fac.
tionalism and encourage either indifference or in
competence in Office. Ill.
The charter as proposed is not step toward a
shortballot charter, and hence its alleged concen
tration of responsibilities in the hands of few. is
not real and hardly apparent move of progress.
The senate's charter would put tremendous power
in the hands Of two men--the mayor and superin-
tendent of city works; ii would reduce the super
yisors powers and discourage high-class men from
running for the board; it would promote logroling
and porkbarrel politics between the fourth and fifth
districts.
The fact that the mayor is to make several very
important appointments and that he must secure
the approval of three supervisors for confirmation
opens the way for all sorts of trouble In practise
the mayor would probably curry favor with three
members in order to make sure his appointments
would 90 through.
The choice political proposal of the late charter
superintendent of city works job
is retained in the senate charter.
A number of other objections might be pointed
out On the whole, there is reason why this new
charter should be preferable to that under which
Honolulu: is working Why make any change I'M
less it is definitely and Enthusiastically in the direc
tion Of sound modern municipal practise?
Chief Justice Robertson's advice that the legisla,
ture should drop charter revision altogether is abso
lutely correct He has diagnosed the situation with
his accustomed astute observation and his counsel
against tampering with the charter until public
opinion is more intelligentls informed comes at a
timely moment.

DEATH ISEVD
OF PISTOL DUEL

The liveliest Honolulu shooting af-
fray in months was staged. on King
street near South street Saturday
night in front OF the Olympia room
ing house by two negroes, J. Brooks,
proprietor OF the place. and Pvt. John
Duncan, l. Company, 18th Infantry. As
q result Duncan Is dead and Brooks
is being held at the police station
without bail, for investigation. Depu-
sty Sheriff Asch has called for an in
quest Wednesday.
Between five and 10 shots were
fired, only one taking effect when It.
pierced Duncan's heart. As a result
of a longstanding quarrel Duncan
emptied his five-chamber revolver at
Brooks and the police believe the lat
ter retaliated with as many although
only one empty shell was found in his
pistol. Capt McDuffie says queer
angle to this, however, is that the
gun Is clean and shiny while only one
shot fired through the barrel would
have left marks OF powder and smoke.
s just how the fight started and pro-.
crossed has not been fully learned
but viii be brought out at the Inquest.
The police have the story that Dun.
can went to Brooks place SATURDAY
night, got into an altercation with
Brooks reyiving former trouble, Left
the place, was followed and fired upon
by Brooks, returned the fire and al.
nally was shot down.
2 Duncan was with other soldiers in
an automobile and they say they saw;
Brooks going into his room after his
revolver. Thel they. tried - take
Duncan away with them but be Ee-3
fused to retreat. Dnncan's companis
ons' story goes on that Brooks chased
Duncan around the machine in the
street and finally tired the first shot.
The victim was hurried to the de-
partment hospital at Fort Shafter but
died before he arrived Policeman NJ.
d. Barboza was despatched to bring
Brooks in and crested him with no
difficulty. Both revolvers, each IS
calibef gun, have been taken as eyi.
dence.
Brooks has Am excellent reputation
In Honolulu as an ex-nayy man and a
former empl0ye OF the Schuman Car
rage Co. Since he was discharged
from the U. S. s. Alert three years ago
he and MrS. Brooks have been run
ming the robming hoase in an orderly
