The inter-sectional aspect of
next Sundays game has 'em all

resentative of the Atlantic coast,
while Rock Islands team certainly
is representative Of the class of
professional football in the middle

should put them in position to
command attention from Buffalo

breaks cost them q victory over
Akron, and another break cost
them a well.earned scOreleSS

Alexander says Rochester
wants a winner, and that Is
what he guaranteed the fans Of
that city when he undertook to
run the club this season. He
says he'll prove the team is a
winner by beating Rock Island.

When Alexander appeared at the
meeting of the members of the Ma

Der, he made known the list Of
players he was lining up. Now l
can get these men to play for me

The result was that &Doc"
took back q completed schedule
and he has come through with
the list of stars. Rock island
Is paying him q big guarantee
to bring his costly performers

here want the best and there Is
no doubt they are willing to
pay for the best.
Alexander showed himself to be
keenly alive to ythe situation when
he signed French of West Point.

for the Army beating the Navy las,

Grand Jury Will
Get Guild Case
Today,Expected
City and County Attorney
Heen Believes He Will
Plead Guilty But Plea Of
Insanity Suggested
ASSOCIATED PRESS,

HONOLULU, Aug. 24-Insanity rs
a possible defense for John Guild when
he is brought to trial is suggested in
news article in the Star-Bulletin TO
day. 1t says that since the exposure
of his shortages which amount to an
proXimately S150,000 he is reported ia
have acted queerly and made ramb
ling statements. On the other hand
he is reported to have made a detail
ed confession of what he had done and
how it had been accomplished to in.
innate advisers of the family last Sat.
urday night in an intelligent manner
and with cOhension and sequence of
detail. His confession is reported to
have been highly dramatic and de.
livered in perfectly rational manner.
His physical condition is reported as
improving and he is said to be recov-
ering from the shock of his exposure.
Alexander & Baldwin announced
that Guild confessed several days ago
to the actions which resulted in the
irregularities of his accounts amount
ing to $750,000. 1t is announced that
he had a supply of duplicates of all
of the statements and accounts station
cry of the New York, San Francisco
and Seattle branches which enabled
him to carry on manipulations between
the various offices and shift their bal
ances in accounts thus covering up his
actions.
Alexander & Baldwin has notified
City and County Attorney Heen that
they will have detailed statements of
the case ready for him in few days.
Heen says he will then proceed with
the presenting of the case to the grand
jury.
Church Funds Short
In auditing the accounts of the
Episcopal Church it was found that
$4,000 of securities were missing. OF
these securities to the amount of $780,
600 were found in possession of Dui-
senberg & Wichman, brokers as secur-
ity, with certain real estate for priv
ate account of Guild amounting to
$4,000 or $4,000. Demand on the
brokerage house for the securities was
made and refused. The auditors re-
ported they were unable to trace the
remaining $1,000 that were missing and
Guild sent word to them the securi-
ties were in his private safety de-
posit box. The brokerage house re-
ceived the bonds from Guild believing
thev were his private property.
Wednesday transfer of the Guild
real estate by John Guild and wife to
Alexander e Baldwin was recorded in
the office of the register of convey
ances, including his Manoa and beach
homes and lots in the College Hills
tract.
Much curious speculation is voiced
as to what became of most of the
funds that Guild admits having mis-
appropriated for the estimated value
of the property that has been reached
is about 100000 and more than
100000 remains unaccounted for.
William H. Heen, City and County
Attorney of Honolulu, arrived on Maui
this morning. He told Maui News that
he expected the Guild case would be
placed before the grand jury this morn
ing and the expectation is that Guild
will plead guilty.

Three New Members
Of Accident Board
{ Named By Governor

Three new members of the Maui
Industrial Accident Board have been
named by Governor Harrington, il
was announced to Maui News on
Wednesday. The new members are
Dan II. Carey, Ralph w. Wilson and
c. c. Conradt. They succeed w. H.
Field--and- Worth o. Aiken, resigned
and George Weight whose term had
expired The other members of the
board are George Freeland, chairman,
and Joseph H. Gray.
Ever since Former Magistrate Nc
Kay. resigned from the board and w.
H. 2ield left Maui the commission
has been "short handed" usually with
a bare quorum. Prior to that time
there were practically only four mem
bers for w. ]. Cooper did not re-
sign for more than year after he
went to the mainland. Gray was ap-
pointed to fill his position and about
the same time Magistrate Mckay re-
signed. For a time there were four
members again and then w. H. Field
went away which left only three on
the Island. The Governor appointed
Worth o. Aiken but after two or
three months he resigned. Fields
resignation was handed in about the
sanS time and again Freeland,
Weight and Gray all had to be pre-
sent to hold meeting though there
was only occasion when a quorum
faded on a regular meeting day.
Meantime Governor Harrington has
been casting about for available mem
bers. He selected Carey and Wilson
and decided that as Weight is a ter
ritorial official and has to be away
from Wailuku often on board of
health business he would appoint
COnradt to that place, at the same
time appreciating the good work
Weight has done on the board.
Members of the Industrial Accident
Board serve without compensation
and for that reason the Executives
tasA in filling it to the full member
shin of five was less easy.

periences of the party on Tangawa,

of whom only 12 are men.
The captain says that his ship was

Right To Regulate
Pool Halls Upheld
Appeal is Expected

/ Use of he words billiard tables
in the statute covering the licensing
OF billiard tables and bowling alleys
/ is a generic term and covers pool
tables, is the decision of Magistrate
Mossman in the case of the Territory
VS. T. Yeshita charged with keeping a
billiard table to be used for pay, with
cut a license. The case is a test
case, submitted on an agreed state
ment of fact and upon its results
hinges the right of the county trea.
surer to regulate the hours for the
conducting of pool rooms or halls. II
was understood that the case would
be taken to the Supreme Court to
secure a ruling from such higher court
on the Interpretation that shall be at
tached to the words billiard table"
1t was admitted by Attorney Muir
ply for the defense and by the county
attorney that the defendant kept for
hire two tables in all respects similar
to what is commonly called billiard
table" except that they were provided
with pockets, one at each corner and
one in the middle of each of two sides
and are commonly used for playing
the game or games called pool
Magistrate Mossman went deeply
into the subject and his type written
decision is of four and half type
written pages. He traces the law and
its amendments from passage of the
original act in 1896 and says" There
can be no question but the words
Billiard table" as used in the sta
tutes prior TO 1918 were employed as
a generic term including the form
adapted for playing pool or in other
words both classes of tables, those
with and those without pockets. In
support of that view he cites Skies
VS. the State, 67 Ala. p. II, City of
Clearwater VS. Bowman 80 Pac. SGT
and State VS. Johnson, 26 Ala. 76.
Even at present, the decision says
the words are used as a generic term.
If there be difference in the games of
pool and billiards both are played
on tables which are invariably des-
cribed by photographers as billiard
tables with or without six or four
pockets. 1t quotes the definition OF
the Century Dictionery of pool as a
game played on billiard table with
six pockets and the Standard Die
tionery "as one of variety of games
played on a billiard table with six
pockets.
Further the decision holds that if it
had been the purposes of the legis-
latOrs to exclude pool tables from IL
censing and restriction it could readi-
ly have been done by the insertion of
a few words.
Numbers of the pool rooms of Maui
appear to be awaiting the outcome
OF the case and refusing to obey the
regulations as for hours which pool
rooms may operate as laid down by
the county treasurer of Maui, ]. Pia
Cockett.
The Maui Chamber of Commerce
passed resolutions urging the clos
ing of pool rooms during GER
tain hours so as to not encourage idle
ness among workers at time of labor
shortage and there is a sentiment
for the introduction of regulative

announced from the Hawaii Tourist
Bureau in Honolulu Tuesday after
