ITHEBASEBALL
EXCITED FANS THREATEN TIE
The baseball situation is becoming
warmer and warmer.
The Japanese committee, consisting
of Messrs. Onodera, lida, Abe, Maru-
yama and Yashomorl. have been
threatened with violence for not tak-
lug a firmer stand at - last night's
meeting, at which, by the way, tho
Japs got considerably less than what
they considered was coming to them,
To quote from this morning's Ad-
vertlser:
"Tho meeting was a very solemn
affair. Everybody patted everybody
on the back. Tho Japanese commit-
tee was as nice as apple pie. Tho
fact is, It did not know what it
wanted. In fact It had nothing com-
Ing to it, and, therefore, got nothing."
Members of the committee were
called up on the telephone time and
time again during the morning by
wrathful countrymen, who upbraided
them for not having taken a firmer
stand at last night's meeting, and
who threatened to beat them up when
n chance to do so presented. Boycott On. '
Certain members of the committee noports come to hand that the Jap
are so scared at the threats that aneso boycott against the athletic

SAYS GOUWTY WILL NOT TRY .
TO BUILD THE BELT
As far as Honolulu Is concerned,
there will be no contest over the
question of whether the counties have
a right to bid on the belt road contract,
Incidentally, tho discussion of the
. matter may have served to bring out
nuothcr of the possible Kuhlo
"charges" agiinst Governor Frear. Up
to a short timo ngo, the local super-
visors were anticipating putting In a
bid. They would easily have been
successful against any private bidder,
mid it was tho understanding among
lmny of the politicians when the np-
proprlations wns made a territorial
one, that the counties would do tho
work just as if it was a county pro-
in i itl. U

,r . .
However, the opinion seems general
anionc attorneys tnat uio coun
.ties can not bid, City and Coun
ty Attorney Cathcart, of this
county, will advise tho local board
to this effect. "I haven't specially
looked tho matter up," ho said, "but
when I first heard of tho proposition
of a subdivision of tho territorial gov
ernment bidding on such a contract, it
struck mo as somothlng unprecedent
ed. 1 know of no law under which tho
counties can bid and don't believe
there 5s any. As far as I am aware statements made by tho attorney-gen-tho
siiDorvisors here don't Intend to oral's department, that tho Territory's
try to bid, but will leave tho belt rone"
fund commission to carry out Its own
plans."
Politicians In the Air.
The political end of the proposition
comes in disgruntled Republicans' dls-
Suasion of the loss of power to tho
county organizations.
Here Is where
Kuhlo Is said to have a lively
kick. During the campaign Re

Eventually it was decided to let the
matter go over till Monday night's
meeting.
"I never made a bet on a; ball game
In my life and my work has always
been honest and straight as the local
people are well aware. As to advis-
ing how to bet on the game I would
not advise my own mother. There
nas been too much pandering to these
almighty Japanese in tho past and
that is the root of the whole trouble."
Betting Caused the Trouble,
"Ginger" Mayne said:
"Betting is nt the bottom of all the
trouble and It Is knocking out base-
0nll here the same as it will knock
out all sports connected with It in
the long run. The Japansee are also

Chinese and this protest about Bert

that tho Japs may 'save their face', as
the saying Is."
the belt road fund to be spent
by the counties. It was a party
pic-.dge. But in the legislative session
the belt road fund was knocked out
as a direct appropriation, Governor
Frear finding that the financial situa-
tlon made it impossible. In this view
the legislature ngreed with him, and it
was decided to make tho belt road
money a part of the loan fund. This
proposition, however, is said to have
carried with the understandiiif that
when the Territory cimo to, spend the
money, tho counties would put in the
lawest bids and get the contracts,
