Good umpirinE means more 20

consider, and for that reason the
arrival OF good arbitrators Is al
ways welcomed by the men in
charge OF the game.

Encouragement OF positions In the
road, water and sewer departments Is
contemplated by the present board, it
was learned today. >~f !,
The general plan which is now be-
ing considered Is to separate By ord
inances the road department from the
engineering department and place the
former with the water and sewer de.
partment with one man in charge of
both. George Collins, 1t was declared
ut the city hall, will probably remain
as city and county engineer. Who the
new appointee will be has not been
definitely decided, but Harry Muir
ray is being considered for the posi-
ton. BY this plan a partial form of
city management will be established.
The board at its meeting Tuesday
night established, by ordinance intro
duced by Ben HolIinger, the position
of superintendent Of parks and play
grounds and superintendent of Kapio-
lai park and public baths and If this
new step is put through its hackers
believe that they will have gone a
long way towards making it easy sail
ing for the Republican members of
the new board.
Talk OF reducing the standing COM
mittees Of the board from, seven to
five still persists. but many men &C
quainted with affairs are doubtful as
to its feasibility.

What does the flag mean 10 you
You have heard the significance o:
its colors explained here. Is it mere
~ a matter Of protection to you? Or
is it an emblem that demands your
devotion and solicits your strength
and courage Every man and woman
owing allegiance to that flag has i
duty to perform, and If We do not re
spond to that duty we are as much
OF a Stacker as the man who runs
away to avoid enlistment.
1T mean mean stricter economy.
Perhaps it will mean doing bit to
assist the Red Cross and similar char,
tiles. Perhaps it will mean the use Of
money, the purchase of a Liberty
Bond. Perhaps it will mean service
at the front that will call for lies
blood.
The Flag at a time like this needs
our life's all. If we have this spirit
We can proudly and honestly say Our
Flag If we lack it, then we must
get right with our Flag.
do you remember, when the Revo'
luton came apace, of the spirit OF
Paul Revere and Israel Putnam? Do
you remember the example set by
Nathan Hale who, when he was about
to be hung as a spy, said I only re-
greet that l have but one life to give
for my country" Do you remember
Molly Pitcher who, on that hot July
day, carried water to quench the
thirst of the men at the cannon and
who, on one trip, found her husband
dead, and who helped to remove her
husbands body and then took his
place at the gun?
1T is these examples that demand
our attention at this time. President
Wilson said This is the time for
Americans to show that a Democracy
like our own is efficient in trial OF
this kind
THE flag is not only the emblem Of
truth and virtue, but stands as we'll
for devotion, courage and loyalty.
What are we going to be in our sew
eral stations? Allies of the enemy by
failing in our duty or stand with our
country for the triumph of human
rights?
I'VE must stand by our country so
that when the war is ended Old Glory,
unstained today, will come out still
1ntarnished and with added luster,
having been the true friend of man
kind in establishing a reign Of free
dom and equality"

McEldowney, naval militia officer,
represented the navy.
The sailors story was that they
had come into town from Pearl Har-

ern and on the way back had stopped

was made by the police at the corner
of Hotel and Smith streets. There
were five sailors in the party, includ-
ing Chief Yeonlan II. F. Gallon and
Seaman Fam, who were not arrested.
Gallon was the first witness. He
stated that he was ahead of the rest
and had Just passed Smith street
when Bateman called to Him to come
back as the boys, we're in trouble. Just
as he turned to fetrace his steps Hen
dy, In charge Of a policeman, came
around the corner. He heard Hendy
ask what the. trouble was and the
policeman replied, "Trouble-I'1 show
You what the trouble isl" and then hit
Hendy with a club. ' 4
Hendy testified that he had follow
ed Fam, who had turned down Smith
street to speak to q soldier. Sudden
ly he received a smashing blow on
the back. He turned TO find out what
the trouble was and received another
blow on the shoulder He said he
made no attempt to resist the officer.
Bateman, the next witness called,
said he was standing at the corner

along wher something hit him on tae
back. As he turned he was hit again
on the hand and still q third time over

With Hendy and Elliott, who in the
