limited only by the physical endurance
of Senators and the provisions of the
Constitution, the Senate by a vote OF
76 to put power in the hands of two
thirds of its members in the future to
limit discussion and to say when

Republicans had approved the change
in caucus and Senator Martin, the ma
jority floor leader had given notice
that the Senate would be kept in con-

nearly everyone looked for a much
longer discussion. Senators Cummins,
Kenyon, Kirby, Lane, Norris, Stone

William Bachrach when asked what
was his feeling regarding his depart

rach returns to San Francisco with
the three women swimmers and the
two Chicago swimmers which he
brought here for the Labor Day meet.
Highly pleased with the reception
the swimmers have received in the

The meeting was then adjourned
and a meeting of the board OF gov
crnors was called to elect the off,
GERS for the year. Just before the
opening of the second meeting A. l..
Castle offered a criticism OF the meth
Cd of handling the registration cards
OF the association, by way of a sug-

Mr.. Castle suggested that the regis
tration committee might adopt meth

ran out that would avoid the contu-
sions arising when men learn thai
their cards have expired only a short
time before a meet.
by assisting rather than acting so

Mr.. Rawlins stated that the causes
for complaint on the grounds men
toned by Mr.. Castle were unf0unded
and added that the secretaries Of the
clubs were more at fault in this par
ticular matter. Following further
explanation of the matter ey Mr..
Soper, Mr.. Castle agreed with the
stand OF the association.
1.-THE present board has been &C
cused Of using A. A. U. money and
that such had been the case was the
statement made to the head Of the
Myrtle Boat Club. 1t was stated then
that Mr.. Soper had been party to
the arrangement whereby the asso-

in discussing the attacks that had
been made upon the association. That
such had been the case he Gefed
anyone to prove by examination of

Girls Swimming Meet During
October Plan of Promoters

is now boosting girls swimming.
That The meet next month Will -
the first women's swimming meet
held under the auspices Of the A. A.
L. is the belief Of those who are max.
ing the arrangement The idea or q
big womsn's meet was conceived
early in the summer and during Aug
uSt a meet was held in the Palama
tank which brought out many new AM
good swimmers.
The, success of this event warranted
starting preparations for . second
meet. All of the arrangements, all
Of the swimmers. all of the specta-
tors, and all of the judges will be
wcmen-not one man will be allowed
to have anything to do with the
event The women have already
proved their ability to handle such
big meet alone and the scheme
will become a big swimming event in
itself.
Stringent Supervision Assured
With stringent supervision as
sured. promises of many entries have
been made. Punahou academy may
enter swimmers in team. Meets have
been held for the girls OF the sch(1
for long time now, and many god
swimmers have been developed. Pa
lama will undoubtedly enter a team
while the Kunalu boat club, the Y.
w. c. A and the Outrigger clubs have
plenty of swimmers to compete as
members Of the clubs.
A feature of the meet will be the
relay. Just what shall be the length
of the race has not been decided as
yet. Each team will probably consist
of six girls.
While no chairman Of arrangements
has been appointed yet. Miss Ruth
Stacker has been directing the plans
for the meet and is calling the meet
ing next Monday night She was
largely responsible for the meet Of
last August which was held In Pa
lama and proved Q great success.

Some fifty years ago the family OF
William Devery, living in tenement
district of New York City, received
news that their favorite sons name
had been added to the list of members
of the New York police force
That was back in the old days when
BOSS Tweed ruled our first city, and
big Bill"-for as such was young
Devery known-received schooling ir
the tactics of the police under the
man who later served a prison sen
tence for graft.
Big BilI' Devery was adroit men
tally as we'll as physically. and his
advancement on the force was swift
Year by year he stepped a rung high
er until at the end of fifteen years ne
won the highest niche in the depart
ment-that of Chief of Police, under
Mayor Van Wyck.
Mayor Van Wyck was what he
termed "liberal-minded," and although
the administration of police affairs I'M
der the supervision of Big Bill rapid
ly grew in disfavor of the town, he
was fond of characterizing the police
head as ''the best police chief New
York ever had
New York didn't hold the same idea,
however, especially when citizens
watched virtually the whole district

Their protests were unheeded, and
"Big BilT' continued in office. Mean
while his bank account grew monthly
more plethoric. Attempts at revenge
of disgruntled lawbreakers, irritated
at being forced to divide their money,
were futile "Off with their heads"
was the order. and they soon were no
more dangerous.
The end finally came, however. o.
fetal investigation of Devery's reign
brought before the public the fact that
the city was suffering from immortality
such as had not been witnessed since
Boss" Tweed's heyday.
Tammany was unable to save Dew
cry, as it went down to defeat at the
next election. He was indicted on
numerous counts, but the charges
were dismissed, and, while further evil
dence was being sought, Tammany
was victorious once more and Devery
again became chief.
In 1901 he was legisIated out of
office, but was Immediately appointed
Deputy Commissioner In reality he
was actual head of affairs. as the
Commissioner was a physical wreck
Just when he had started to place the
Tenderloin on its old basis, Tammany
found out it could not stomach him,
and in 1903 Devery was ousted for
good.
