PUBS DEFEAT
CHINESE TEI
The Chinese Atliletics were given another
surprise yesterday afternoon at
Aala park by the Palama A. C. This
was in the championship game between
the two teams, in which the Chinese
nine was beaten by the score of 7 to
3. The game was fast all through and
at times some of the plays made were
equal to those at the senior league
grounds. The usual big crowd was on
hand and all nationalities were well
represepted, especially Hawaiians and
Chinese.
In the first inning both of the teams
failed to score. The second inning was
another goose egg for each team. In
the third inning, Kekaha started things
going by bringing a run homo for his
team on a wild throw of W. Ayau.
Kaahiwinui also scored by Hong
Chack's error. The Chinese team was
again shut out from scoring in this in-.

Charles Lyman caught for Oahu College

much to do with the winning of the
championship. He has taken the ability

For centerfield, Aylett of the St.
Louis team, and Joe Fernandez have
been chosen. Both are hard hitters.

NEXT SEASON
From the preseni prospect there will
not be a race for the now Irwin Cup,
which is offered for a contest between
the first-class yachts of the Hawaii
Yacht Club, till next year. The
Committee called on W. G. Irwin,
the donor of the cup, yesterday,
to inquire his wishes in regard to the
conditions under which the race should
be sailed. He stated at the time that
he doubted if it would be good policy
to sail the race this year, as the
weather could hardly be depended on,
and it would hardly pay to take a
chance which might result in a fizzle.
The actual presentation of the cup
to the club has not been made as yet,
as Mr. Irwin desires to pick it out him
self, and has been unable to find anything
in the city that he thought was
suitable. He leaves for San Francisco
early in next month, .however, and on
h" arrival will out the trophy

The last half of this inning 'was one
of the best on the part of the
when a pretty catch was made by
Kaahiwinui in leftfield followed by a
double play at second. In the fifth
inning, Kealoha. should be given credit
for sending two men home by a hit
into the stream. He also managed to
score himself, which in all gave the
Palamas 3 runs in this lucky inning.
The Chinese got another goose egg in
the last half of this. ,
In the sixth inning, the Chinese scored
two runs oy Chi Bui's two bagger.
The eighth inning gave the Chinese
boys another run. This was made by
Lo.
From every standpoint, the Palamas
outclassed their opponents all through
the game.
Chas. Paaluhi, .who pitched for the
Palamas, was in his usual good shape
and nfanaged tojtcep the Chinese
guessing most of the time. Next
Sunday these two teams will again
meet, two games out of three being
required to decide the championship.

it has been appropriately inscribed.
"While the members of the committee
were talking with Mr. Irwin he
brought up the subject of the transpacific
yacht and before they left had
drawn a check for a generous donation
to the funds which are now being
raised. Beyond this he promised the
committee, after they had urged him,
that he would act as the representative
of the Hawaii Yacht Club in Los
Angeles, at the time of the race, provided
that ho was in California at'the
time. In case he was unable to be
present himself, he stated that he would
niako arrangements that John D.
Spreckels should act as the representative
of Hawaii.
The obtaining of this promise has
been a great relief to the committee
which has been in a quandary as to
Nvhom they could obtain to represent
the club at the start of the race. All
agreed, however, that no man more
suitable for the position could be found
than Mr. Irwin, who has been interest
ed in yachting here for many years,
and is also known all over these islands
and the Pacific Coast. His cordial
cooperation in all matters which
have to do with the transpacific race is
greatly appreciated by all concerned.

RESOLUTION RESPECTFULLT
SUBMITTED.
At the meeting in the office of the
President of the Board of Health yesterday
afternoon there were present,
besides Mr.-Pinkham and the private
secretary of Governor Frear, Delegate
Kalanianaole. Senators Lane and Chil-
lingworth. Supervisors Lane, and Harvey,
H. J. Mossman, Charles K. Not-ley,
J. M. Poepoe and William White.
Senator Lane presented the resolution,
explaining its purport, to which
President Pinkham responded briefly,
reviewing again his various confer
ences with Wallach and the lack of
anything tangible for the Board of
Health to so upon in the matter.
WALLACH NOT THE QUESTION.
Senator Chlllingworth, speaking for
himself and stating that he believed
that he voiced the sentiments of the
others of the delegation, said in support
of the resolution:
"I wish in this matter to express my
own position and I believe that I am
right in stating that in doing so I
express the position taken by nearly
all of us present. I want to think
you, Mr. President, for calling this
meeting In order to get an expression
of our position in this matter and I
want to state mysell clearly, as some
of the things I have spoken in this
matter have been misconstrued and
made to mean what they did not
mean.
"You know and I know that this
leprosy question touches us Hawaiians
more closely than any other na
tion, for here we have segregation
which Is not had in most of the other
countries. We, the members of this
delegation, are here today simply as
law-abiding Hawaiians, who feel that
they are more or less responsible for
the actions of the people of their race.
We young Hawaiians have received an
education and we should advise and'
lead our people if they will let usi
In this particular matter there has
been a question raised over leprosy
and an agitation Is going on. There is
also an agitation over the claims of
Wallach. and claims are freely made
that he can cure leprosy. Whether
he can cure it or not I do not know,
but that is not the question. The
question is that practically one hundred
per cent of all the Hawaiians do
believe that Wallach can cure or at
least effect an Improvement much more
than any other doctor has been able
to do before. We feel it our duty,
therefore, as leaders to take the matter
up, study the situation and take
such action as may be necessary. The
Hawaiian leaders have agreed on this
resolution and it Is now before you.
A mass meeting was called to see if
we were taking the right step. If you
had been present at that meeting, Mr.
President, you would know that the
Hawaiians are taking a great interest
in this question. The fact that so
many stayed, paying strict attention
In spite of the rain, showed that we
are right.
"If the Board of Health were to
retuse wanacn a chance to try his
Miri' thfrt will be a great deal of dissatisfaction.
As a result it may be
that things will be done that will be
against good government. Nor will it
be for the good of the community that
he be refused a trial. The majority of
the population believe that he has a
cure, as evidenced at that meeting,
and we believe that unless we took
charge things would have been and
will be done for which we would all
be sorry." We come here in all respect
to the Board of Health. We recognize
the legality of the Board of Health
and the necessity of the Board of
Health, but we feel, irrespective of thel
logic of the situation, that things have
come to such a pass that something
must be done. Perhaps this situation
could not have arisen In any other
country on earth but this, but we have
to deal with a situation which rJeople
away from here could not and cannot
understand. We have to deal with a
people sympathetic and kindly, who
feel that it is their duty to stand in
all things by those poor people on
Molokai. Whether it Is right for the
people to listen to the claims of Wallach
or not is not for us to say, but
speaking for the Hawilians I say that
something must be done now in this
matter.
"Now, iMr. President, we are not
here to coerce the President of the
Board of Health; not to show that the
majority of the voters feel as we do
in this matter: but we come as humble
servants of the people to ask you as
president to use your influence with
the Board to grant Wallach an opportunity
to demonstrate whether he can
cure or not. The time has passed to
argue as to whether Wallach can really
cure or not. The majority believe
that he can and - as Hawaiians who
feel for Hawaiians we say that this
step should be taken. Every Hawaiian
here, even the delegate, feels that
this is not a question of the glorification
of Wallach but a question of what
the Hawaiian people feel. Our duty
is to respectfully ask the Board of
Health to grant him the permission he
asks.
"I do not come here as a champion
of Wallach. I want that distinctly un
derstood. But I come here as a humble
servant of the Hawaiian people to
their wishes to you."
"Do I understand that there Is any
question of the sympathy felt by the
Board of Health towards the Hawaiians?"
asked Pinkham.
"I do not believe that there is," answered
Chlllingworth, "but I am glad
that you have asked. I think that
matter ought to be cleared up now."
"I think so, too," said Pinkham. "If
there is any such feeling amongst those
present I want to hear It now."
The president then went on to refer
to the various occasions when charges
had been openly made in the Legislature
against the Board of Health. He
referred to the fact that in the Settlement
now was one Hawaiian" woman
from whom Dowie, the late "Prophet,"
had secured J1200 for a cure. Ho
also explained Ihe principle of medical
ethics in regard to the making public
of medical discoveries and Bhowed
clearly why such was necessary. "I
take a back seat to no one in the matter
of sympathy for these poor people,"
he said. "There is no man among you
who has shed more tears for the women
and children of the settlement
than the President of the Board of
Health. There Is no harshness any"
more In the matter of treating lepers,
neither Is there any haling of suspects
away to Kaiihi. On the very day following
the last meeting here a man
and his wife came to see me. The
woman Is the mother of three children,
with one yet to be born. She suspected
that she was a leper, but she had con
fidence hi (me and came to see me.
We talked the matter over the same
as it would be talked over in a family
and I told her to go back home until
her baby was born, then to come and
we would talk the matter over again.
She was not chucked Into the lej.er
wagon, as some people think we do.
Other people come to me. They have
confidence in me. At the Settlement the
very first man to express Indignation
at the reflections made upon their law
and order was William Notley. I slept
there with the doors and the windows
unlatched. I know those people. They
know me. When I passed over the
pali on my way back, and that pali
is dangerous, there were many prayers
that I might pass it in safety. If the
Board of Health were properly represented
to the people there would not
be this feeling against the board thi.f
is abroad. In doing what I shall proD
ably do in the matter of this resolu
tion and petition, I shall not probably
be guided by my reason."
ALL PRAISE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The remarks of the president were
followed by short speeches from nearly
every member of the delegation.
every one of whom stated that the
Board of Health was doing all that was
possible for the lepers and was worthy
of commendation In practically everything
the members had done, with the
exception of the stand they had taken
on the Wallach matter. Charles Not
ley said that the Hawaiians were
clinging firmly to this one hope and
urged that their hope in Wallach be
not taken away without the man being
given a trial. Senator John Lane re
minded the president that if the HaJ
wanan electors snouid be forced to it
they had it in their power to elect a
'straiKht Hawaiian ticket by drawinsr
the color line. He stated that Wallach
was 'not to be considered in the matter
at all, but the wishes of the Hawaiian
people. H. J. Mossman, Frank
Harvey and J. M. Poepoe followed
along similar lines, and Supervisor
Fern concluded his remarks by saying
that the Hawaiians would know what
to do with Wallach if his trial should
prove him a faker.
'' William White informed .the president
that this was a case "where he
had to exercise his faith and not keep
insisting on proof of Wallach's cures
being presented. He stated that he had
seen neither Queen Victoria, George
Washington nor Jesus Christ, although
he believed that there had been such
people. He wanted to have- another
meeting between the president and the
delegation, something which was sat
down on severely by the other members
of the delegation.
At the conclusion of the meeting Mr.
Mossman moved a vote of thanks to
the president, which was seconded by
Senator Chillingwortn and carnea.
WAYS AND MEANS.
After the meeting had broken up,
President Pinkh'axn -discussed the matter
in an informal way. He called to
the attention of the delegates the fact
that the monthly appropriation for
medicines for the settlement was $1250,
while last month the expense had been
'over $1700.
"That's all right," said
"you overdraw if you wish to.
We'll see that you get what you -want."
"Well. when I ask for a hospital next
time, you give it to me. I want to tell
you that that hospital is being built
anyway just as fast as we can save a
dollar to put into it. We are crowded
ail the time for money, though. There
has never been a time when we could
give the people regular hospital treat
ment and you can't make the people
take their medicine regularly without
it. You can't take even a leper by the
scruff of the neck and make him swal
low medicine if he doesn't want to.
He'll just spit it out. As it is, though,
we are doing a lot. I want to tell you
that we have had just as many 'cures'
at the Settlement as you have ever had
in Honolulu."
WANT TO COME TO KALIHI.
While as a result of the meeting
yesterday it can be taken for granted
that Wallach is to be given the chance
he wants, it was not brought out definitely
just what is to be done for him.
The resolution of the lepers themselves
states that they want Wallach to have
absolute charge of his patients, and this
is what the Board of Health will undoubtedly
insist on, washing their
hands of all responsibility. But the
lepers want to come to Kaiihi for their
treatment.
In the letter received on this subject
by the Advertiser from Kalaupapa,
enclosing the resolution quoted above,
occurs this paragraph:
"President Pinkham gave assurance
if the board approve or J. Lor Wallach
and his treatment he -will have
the new hospital now built at the Settlement
for that purpose and that we
committee of seven will bear all the
responsibility in looking after J. Lor
Wallach. that he should not go beyond
of what he is permitted. I suggest
to you to tell J. Lor Wallach to insist
ofj having his treatment carried on at
Kaiihi, which is better all round for
him and his patients, for this reason,

INHERITANCE TAX
In the matter of the estate of Ju'la.
Anthon Paty, a somewhat peculiar
state of affairs is described by A- T.
Erock in an" affidavit filed in the Circuit
Court yesterday. Brock says
that himself, E. H. Wodehouse and
W. R Sims were appointed fo' appraise
the personal estate of the decedent
July 17, 1905. Before the appraisers
could get together and appraise
the estate, Brock went to the
coast and didn't get back until October
3, 1903. Meanwhile Wodehouse
had gone to the coast and did not get
back until November, 1905. Then
some of the heirs were out of the Territory.
Then Sims went to the coast
in November, 1906. Then John
was appointed in Sims' place.
Meanwhile the personal property of
the deceased had been divided up
among the heirs and the appraisers
had a lot of trouble, apparently, to get
the property together again so it
could be appraised. Finally they ap
praised it and made their report De
cember 21, 1906, but meanwhile the
eighteen months since their appointment
slipped away and terminated December
17, 1906. The personal property
is described as consisting of jewelry,
furniture, sugar stocks, etc.
The matter is of importance because
of the inheritance tax which must be
paid.
INTERESTING QUESTION.
M. T. Simonton, as master, has filed
a report in the matter of the estate
of Antone Kodriques, deceased, with
Judge' Lindsay touching the question
of what the principal of the estate
consisted of up to and including December
31, 190G. The estate is an old
one and a former executor of the will
proved insolvent and legal proceedings
had to be prosecuted to collect
from his bondsmen. The estate is small
but some interesting questions are
raised in the report.
LILTHA STREET CASE.
An order has been issued to James
Horner, the court reporter, to prepare
a transcript of the testimony in the
injunction proceeding of the Territory
of Hawaii by Charles R, Hemenway,
Attorney General, against the Honolulu

This is preparatory to an appeal by
the Rapid Transit company In the
Llllha street Injunction case.
LIBEL FOR DIVORCE.
Chang Akana has filed a libel for divorce
against Malia Akana on the
ground of desertion.
WILDER PRESIDES.

Wilder presiding, denied the motion
of the plaintiff-respondent in the
case of Oahu Railway & Land Company
vs. James Armstrong that the

only property left was a house and
lot on Kuakinl street, near Llllha, estimated
to be worth J3000.
BEFORE JUDGE DOLE.
Nectarlo J. Lulz was arraigned
in
the United States District Court yesterday
morning, but" reserved his plea.
He is under Indictment with Isabella
for violation of the Edmunds Act. Isabella,
however, did not appear. She
will be brought in by process of the
court. , ,
Lam Yip and Lam Shee, indicted for
peonage, were also arraigned and plea
reserved. Lam Yip, for violation of the
Edmunds Act, pleaded not guilty and
his trial was set for November 11,
The court will meet at 9:30 o'clock
this morning.
DEMURRER OVERRULED.
Judge Robinson yesterday overruled
the demurrer of the defendant to the
plaintiffs complaint in the case of
Ethel Barr vs. the Honolulu Rapid
Transit & Land Company.
NEW TRIAL ASKED.
In the ejectment proceedings of Mrs.
Elizabeth Booth vs. J. H. Schnack,
tried before Judge Robinson and a
jury, a motion for a new trial has
been filed by the attorneys representing
Mrs. Booth.
DISCHARGE IN BANKRUPTCY.
Judge Dole in the United States District
Court granted final discharge in
bankruptcy yesterday to Edzel Markle
and Joaquin M. Camara. Markle's
blllties were $737.45 and his assets
$2.90. Camara's liabilities were $17,-298.57
and his assets $11,789.63.
they are confined there and can not
get out, here they will get out, get
drinking swipes, etc., and the treatment
be worthless. I know this foil a
fact in regard to Dr Gote's patients.
Another reason, food Is plentiful there
and also the drugs, while here we have
only of what rations we get from the
board and drugs it takes two weeks
to get here. With this it is a drawback."
Wallach has publicly announced,
however, that he will do jusUwhat Is
arranged for between the Board of
Health and the Hawaiian leaders, but
it is possible that there will come a
further jangle and the matter be reopened.
WHAT IS THE
HOUSE'S COLOR?
A written opinion was filed yesterday
In the Supreme Court in a case previously
decided orally. The case was
that of Tsuruda vs. T. F. Farm. The
story as told in the opinion, which is
by Chief Justice Hartwell, is interesting.
In part it Is as follows:
OPINION OF THE COURT BY
HARTWELL, C. J.
The plaintiff brought replevin In the
District Court of Honolulu lor "one
puakea (dun colored) horse, with black
mane and tail and dark legs, and
branded on right flank M E (the latter
letter 'being indistinct)," and the-defendant
obtained judgment. On appeal
to the Circuit Court, jury being
waived, the plaintiff In November, 1906,
obtained Judgment, which was set
aside and a new trial granted for absence
of a material witness for the defendant,
to wit, one Hyoda. In De
cember the case came on again for
trial, resulting in a decision for the
plaintiff.
The defendant's exceptions are (1)
to the denial of his motion for a
for a material variance between
the description in the complaint and
bill of sale of the horse put in evidence
by the plaintiff, whicli is translated
from Its Chinese characters to
read: ("This bill of sale for one red
horse for the price of $26 and the-money
was paid in full today, and
branded on the left hind leg with a
brand M E. Dated December 27th.
1903, Kong I. In and stamped Kong
Hoon"; (2) to the refusal to allow the
defendant to testify from his recollection
as to the testimony given by the
witness Hyoda in the lower court, the
defendant having obtained a subpoena
for Oahu issued November 26, and,
upon its return December 6, unfound,
another subpoena the same day for
Maui, returned unfound December 18,
the day the case came on for trial; (3)
to the decision on the ground of the
material variance above mentioned.
The plaintiff's witnesses described
the horse as of a "dirty white color, "
the color of the wall," designated by
the court as "coffee au lait." This
answers well enough the description in.
the complaint, "dun colored," as well
as the description in the bill of sale,
"red horse." The brand, stated in the
complaint to be ME on the right
flank and in the bill of sale ME on
the left hind leg, when the horse was
examined by the court, was claimed
by defendant's attorney to be W F on
the right hip, which the plaintiff ex-
plained by saying, "The hair was long
before and it looked blurred. My mark
is exactly the same with the exception
of that." The plaintiff, corroborated
by other witnesses, identified
the horse by pointing out, among other
marks of Identification, a mark on the
right eyelid, a piece of which had been
accidentally cut off, he said, while the
horse was In his possession.
The cases cited by the defendant
are to the effect that a complaint for
two bay horses, when the proof shows
that one of them is a sorrel horse, is
a fatal variance (Taylor v. Riddle, 33
111. 567); that the recorded brand and
the brand upon the animal must correspond
or the discrepancy be satisfactorily
explained (Myers v. State, 24
Tex. Ap. 334; 6 S. W. 192); that a brand
recorded as upon the hip, while the
evidence showed it to be on the ribs,
is too great a variance (Priesmouth v.
State, 1 lb. 4S0); thatA recorded brand
as on the left hip, with evidence that
It is on the side, did not preclude admissibility
of the record in evidence,
and that the record, unsupported by
other evidence, would not be sufficient
proof of ownership (Harwell v. State,
22 lb. 251;, 2 S. W. 606); that a
of twenty-five head of cattle
branded with a specified brand on the
