MILITIA
NEEDS ARMORY

Senator J. H. coney, chairman of
the senate military committee. has
made up his mind that Hawaiis Naval
Militiamen shall have a proper arm
ory in which to drill Coney said this
morning that this is one of the propo-
sitions which he will favor strongly
in his committee.
Coney was much impressed with the
parade yesterday and as much as any
with the showing of the Naval Militia.
He remembered that the only place
the group of boys in natty white uni
forms has to drill is the old Bungalow.
The military committee chairman
expressed the belief today that the
ancient structure is unsafe for large
gatherings of men.
We had public hearing there on
some question last session, he
says. and was in mortal fear all the
time that the place would collapse
with the crowd 1t certainly can't be
a very safe place for men to drill
Coney believes that practically all
of the requests for armories will go
through the legislature These things
are needed, he says, and are cheap in
comparison to the use they may be
put to.
What about the governors request
ed contingent fund.- he was asked
Il expect to see it cut down-way

WIRELESS Plans
TO GO FORWARD

J. A. Balch, treasurer and manager
of the wireless department of the Mu-

today with the welcome announce
ment that despite proposed legislation
that had Nthreatened the life of his
company he is sure the Mutual COM
pany would continue its policy of inn
provement and expansion in step with
the times.
A successful meeting of wireless
telegraph men from all over the Unit
ed States at Washington, ID. c., in
which Balch's part to show the house
committee the gross injustice of the
wireless bill il. was considering, al
though he modestly assumes little
credit, the local man worked uHtir-
ingly and the bill died with assur-
ances from its navy sponsors that only
government ownership would be pro-
posed in another bill to be introduced
the next session This he does not
believe will pass. He was gone a
month and was thanked by Secretary
Daniels OF the navy for the offer OF
the entire plant and personnel of the
Mutual company when negotiations
with Germany were severed.
Daniels told Balch that government
ownership would come eventually but
this will not discourage the local con-
cern. Balch says Honolulu shall have
the best service possible to give and
that as soon as wireless telephony is
perfected we shall have that. too. Now
it is in the experimental stage.

BLO0DTOWN' IS
WARNED IN TINE

Wahiawa is still living UP to the
sordid nickname "Bloodtowri," from
an account brought back by Acting Lii
euor Inspector John Roberts of the
wretched conditions there
Roberts went down on blind-pig
raid Saturday morning, hoping to
make 3 big sweep of Illegal liquor
sellers. but caught only one, Yama-
sbita, a japanese. who was fined 800
. in police court this morning.
The latter. however, had enough IL
Quor 10 maintain a thirst-quenching
emporium for. some time. with 105
quart bottles OF beer to start with,
which were confiscated
II ali the beer and other intoxicat-
ing drinks in Wahiawa were found it
would require several cars to bring it
to town, according to Roberts.
The liquor inspector declares that
the soldier frequenters OF Wahiawa
have set up an elaborate warning sys-
tenn which is hard to beat and besides
are becoming bold in their open defi-
ance of authority from Honolulu.
Made Open Threats
According : to. Roberts one soldier
vented his spleen upon the late in
spector, w. P. FenneIl. by a profane
remark and another. who gave his
name as Williamson. and is said to
he with the artillery at Fort Kane
hameha. told Roberts. "lf you come
down here again we'll knock your
block off.
Policeman NJ. ID. Barboza, borrowed
from the Honolulu department for the
raid. was Roberts only assistant and
together they advised a crowd of sol
diers that was following them and
showing a generally belligerent atti-
fude that they had better not start
anything.
II IS almost impossible to get near
Wahiawa now at night by the ordin-
arv methods. says Roberts. due to out
nosts of soldiers on the roads, who
fake turns passing the word along
when Honolulu officers approach.

the most prominent players now in
competition will take part, as sort OF
preliminary training for the greater
events to come.
As one who has seen Miss Marion
Zinderstein, of West Newton, Mass,
give Miss Bjurstedt one of the hardest
struggles that noted player has had
in her victorious career on Eastern
courts, we would like to see this young
girl invited to compete in some OF
these special tournaments, with pos
sibly Miss Marie Wagner also, so that
a round robin series could be played
between the former champion and the
two Fasteners. We rather imagine
that Miss Zinderstein would create
sensation even in such great company

The race between Roush, Of the Reds,
and Cruise, of the Cardinals, for the
National League batting honors is one
of the most exciting that the parent
major league has seen in its forty-odd
years. One week ago the pair were
tied. at BAT. This week finds them still
tied, though at 1871, instead.
Bill Rariden has the honor Of lead
ing the Giants. He is hitting 1916
which is three points better than the
veteran, Hans Wagner. has been able
to maintain through his wonderful
comeback. George Burns, with 1903
is the only other 800 batter Of the
Giants. Zimmerman and Kauf seem
bent upon holding their own. with .296.
Zach Wheat continues to lead the
Dodger hitters, though he has fallen
away to .294. Olson and Stengel are
close to him, Ivy with POI and Casey
with .2Ss.

there are other clubs that will have 20

Oliphant Has Rival
AS a Star Athlete

Philadelphia, July 21.-So much has
been written of the marvellous all
around athletic proficiency of Oliphant,
the West Point man. that the fact that
another has made an even greater rec
ord for the army is being generally
overlooked.
The youth whose record is even
greater than that Of Oliphant is Lieu
tenant Leland Stanford Hobbs, of Phil
adelphia, son OF a high official Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
While Oliphant is credited with be-
ing the only man to win the four let
ters in varsity sport at West Point,
Hobbs accomplished the same feat and
went Oliphant several better.
Hobbs made letters in football, base
ball, basketball and track sports. as
did Oliphant, but Hobbs also was the
best gymnast. boxer. fencer and swim
mer in West Point, and received a
sword on graduating high in his class
for all-around proficiency.
The thing that most clearly reflects
Hobbs's athletic glory is the fact that
whereas Oliphant entered West Point
a full-hedged college athletic star from
Purdue University, the Philadelphian
went from high school without a shred
of athletic skill, his closest approach
to sports being the position OF foot
hall cheer leader.

The occasion for the prohibition was

complaints Of the overrunning of the
