STEAMER LANDS STOWAWAYS
ON KAUAI; FOUR MEN ARE
TAKEN OFF AT PORT ALLEN

Four stowaways from the steamer
West Holbrook were landed at Port
Allen last Friday. The stowaways
were found after the steamer had
left Honolulu for the Orient and
while she was off Kauai.
A wireless was sent to Honolulu
and Honolulu notified the sheriff
office who in turn notified Captain
Leavitt of Port Allen. When the
steamer appeared off Port Allen
Captain Leavitt went out in the Ka.
uai R.R. Co.'S launch and brought
them ashore. They were turned over
to the police.
They told the police that they were
sailors and were out of a job. They
said they could not get a steamer
out of Honolulu and as they knew
that there was plenty of work for
sailors at Shanghai they tried to get
there by slowing away on the West
Holbrook.

came to Lihue where they obtained
work on the Nawiliwili breakwater.
They say that they are mighty glad
that they were landed on Kauai as
they found that the West Holbrook
was bound for Kobe, Japan, and it
meant that they would be put ashore
there and probably go to jail while
awaiting transportation back to Ho'
nolulu. They think that Kauai beats
any Japanese jail that they ever
heard Of,

SIX BIG RACES
ARMisTIcE DAY

Entries for the American Legion's
racing program on Armistice Day
are beginning to come and Chairman
Jimmy Spalding Of the racing COM
mittee says that it looks to be the
best program yet held at the Wal
pouli track.
Interest is centering around the
special mile race for Japanese own
ed horses. Two horses only are enter.
ed in this race to date. Sakamoto has
entered. Dinner Bell and Rikemaru
has entered Golden Spray. These
two horses are old enemies on the
track and as Golden Spray took the
last race in which they met, Dinner
Bells followers are out for revenge.
1t is claimed that Dinner Bell was
not ridden as we'll as he might have
been in their last meeting and that
he will show his heels to the old
stallion at this time. Golden Sprays
hackers are positive that he is the
master of Dinner Bell at any time
for the distance Of a mile. This race
has divided the local Japanese
colony into two camps and many
bags of rice are going to change
hands over the result.
There has been considerable ella.
tion in local racing circles when 1t
was announced that a special mile
and one-quarter would be put on to
enable Dinner Bell Mary Jay and
Bridgeplayer to get together. The
dopesters have it all figured out
that Dinner Bell will finish ahead
of the two mares. .-..
Dinner Bell beat Mary Jay handily
on July 4th when they met in the
mile and quarter. Mary Jay beat
Bridgeplayer in the mile race on
Maui at the fair, therefore Dinner
Bell can beat them both here in
this race. @. E. d. Dinner Bells
hackers claim that Bridgeplayer can
not go the distance. They admit
that up to a mile Johnny Fernandez
mare is the best on the island, but
will admit no superiority for any
distance. beyond that. Johnny is not
discouraged with all the talk and
continues to train his mare for the
race. When someone sprung the a.
bove dope on him, Johnny quietly
stated that no races were ever won
with paper and pencil. He said that
he would be in much better posi-
tion to tell the winner some time
after 10 O'Clock on Armistice Day
His personal opinion is that Bridge
player and Mary Jay will run one,
two, on that day.
All the interest of the day is not
behind the longer races by any
means as there are plenty of fans
who are all tied up in the three
races that are for Hawaiian bred
horses. Can David Luke's Pegasus
take the quarter and three-eighths
1t will be necessary for him to out
strip several good horses If he does.
Johnny Fernandez will have Silver
Dust in the quarter against Pegasus
and Jimmy Spalding will have either
Forty-Niner or Fancy. Any one of
these horses will give Luke's horse
a race and it will not be a runaway

From the white house came a
telegram and message over long

Italy sent his expressions by the
