vA plan for the reorganisation of the

may be admitted to membership U be
ing considered by the member, since
the business meeting held last last Hat
pny night In the clnb quarters in the
former beach home of C. C. Kennedy at
kotMl 'a Bay.
The plaa U t torn the nautlral club
into a country elub with provisions for
tie entertainment and enjoyment of
women members. it is propose? that
t Caterer be granted a concession at
the elub home so meals and other re
iraaunients ean be secured when want
dt Those in faVor of the plan say
that if this is don the woman members
whs) liud club quarters an excellent and
pleasant place for recreation where tea
and a swim could be enjoyed every
ai be. noon.
Hi Boat Shed Necessary
'It is also argued that the nautical
ivities of the club would not have
' to -be droHMl on account of a change
fn "the membership plan. The plans
for the training of racing erew could
, be carried out as before, in fact bet
ter than before, as the club would,
Wifh the new membership, have addi
tional funds with which to erect a boat
swarf and make other needed improve
melts for which a sum of about $400
.is. necessary.
v-'lt Is the need of financial aid which
has created tha proposed admission of
VWucn to membership in the elub.
T&tire are enough men interested in the
etob"ia Hilo to provide sufficient funds
for itariisiutenauce, it is claimed. As
tbf Kennedy home was alwaya a fav
stle gathering place for women and
children who like sea bathing it is lie
Keyed that the women will welcome the
spportuuity to join the club, and by
'doing save it from its financial diffi
culties. Wfll Seyort On Troposal 1

business meeting, of the club it met
with some objection, but ther were

After considerable argument it . was
derided ' to appoiat a committee to

committee is to mane its report at an-

GET WORST OF IT
W. T. Rawlins Says Hawaiians
Were Winners of Main-
(anrf Relay Race
According to latest advices from
Ssu Francisco, the Hawaiian swimmers
who competed, in the indoor A. A. lT.
events at Sutro Baths July 16 and 17,
ran up against a heap of trouble which
was not recorded, in the newspapers.
Duke !. Kahanamoku was compelled to
defeat Arthur Katheil twice In one
evening to score la the 100 yard swim.
In the first meeting of the stars, Duke,
acronting to William T. Rawlins, won
from Itaithel by fully twelve inches.
The judges ruled the race a dead heat
and ordered it swum over again, Duke
winning the second time without a
doubt in the world's record breaking
time (o:."3 1-5), breaking his own prev
ious mark of 0:54 3-8, made in the same
tank lat vear. -Rawlins
Filed Protest
Kawlins filed a protest with the
judges after the first race over the
IDOyard course and pointed out that
even Kaithel had acknowledged Duke
a winner and had congratulated the
Hawaiian on hie performance. Judge
VS illiam II. Humphrey decided other
wine following n long consultation with
his associated ' " '
The representative of the Hawaiians
also filed a protest over the decision
of the judges in declaring the 300 yard
relay rare a dead heat between Duke
Kahanamoku and ferry McOillivray,
Hawlirm setting 'up a claim that Kaha
namoku had finished all of a foot
ahead of his oponent. Again Judge
Humphrey decided asrainst the Hawai
ian iuui mill in the im off, the t hi- J
cago Athletic tub won out, Itrenking
the world ' record to accomplish the
feat. It was the winning of the relny
that gave the Central Asxoeiution
swimmers first place in the meet,
brut i eitounsnuet
Even so, the Hawaiians have nothing
to be .Ar.i.uim-d of; iii fact their per-to'-msnees
at Son Fraueisco were far
more remarkable than those of the
Central -Assoclatidai swimmers. This
v 'uii.jUoii had' the pick ot the Mid
dle West swimmers, including Kaithel,
Juctiiliivray, llebn.r, Vosberg and Me-
Dermott of the Illinois Athletic, Club
j ,nd , otuprl! whil(1 the Hawaiians
.had to (leM.Iia on three men Kahana-
moku, Lane ami Cunha in the spriuta,
back stroke and breast stroke, and
these three and Kruger in the relay.
Clarence lane came in for an abund
ance of praise for the great showing
he made in the 50 yard swim and Swim
ming experts predict he will soouer or
latter become a world 's champion.
George Cunha also swam in great
form but had the inisfortunate to get
the worst of the start in the 100 yard
awim, and despite a gallant effort, bad
to content himself with third place.
8a a Francisco newspaera and fol
lowers of the game there persist in re
ferring to Miss Frances ( owells as the
eham ioi. womhn swimmer of America
and dwell with great length on her
swimming ft) yiir.lM in the record brea1"
ing time of 0:XI. This mark was hung
up by Mixs CowcIIh lUiring the women'
events held earlier in the montA. lour
ing the eveiitn of July 17, Miss Cowells
swam the diHtanco in 0:33 1-6, which
according to the San Francisco papers,
is only two fifths of a second shy
of her Pacific Coast record made in the
recent P. A. A. meet."
Neither of these marks are a record.
Miss Lncelle Legros of Honolulu ia the
champion swimmer over the 50-yards
coarse, having covered the-distance in
0:32 2-5, at a regularly sanctioned
Amateur Athletic I'nion meet held here
June 11, 1915. Previous to this, Miss
Dorothy Keeker of San Francisco held
the record, having beaten Miss Ruth
Stacker, February '11, lit 1.1, in the first
race ever swam under the auspices of
the A. A. r., at which records and
times made by women would be ac
cepted. While Miss Prances Cowells may be
a wonderful swimmer, and her per
formances show that, it is not fair for
the maiiilunders to proclaim her a
ehampioii over the ."ill yard course when
the records of the A. A. V. plainly
show that she is yet to equal the maik
set by Miss I.egros, let alone beat it.
Due in WllheLmina
Hawaii's llig Six Kahanamoku,
George itud Lawrence Cunha, Clarence
Lane, I.ukela Kaupiko and Harold
Kruger are due to return home in the
Wilhelmina next Tuesday. According

Official Report Clearing
Captain Turner,
. LONDON, July 1 1 ' Torpedoes
fired by a submarine of Oerman na
tionality " caused .' the ' loss - of ' the
steamship Lnaitana and Its- passea
gera, according to the findings of the
court of inquiry appointed to investi
gate the disaster. Tb court held that
ao blame for tha tragedy -attached
either to Captain Turner, commander
of the vessel, or the Cunard Jlne, the
owners.
ia tha opinion, of tha court the act
waa done not merely with the Inten
tion of sinking the shin, but also with
the intention of destroying the Uvea of J
the people on board,' aays the report.
Other salient featurea of tho report
are that the lifeboat and lifebelt, ia
eilities were adequate; that demeanor
of the crew wae above all blame . and
that the conduct of tho passengers.
barring a slight panie when the steer
age passengers came . On deck, was
praiseworthy, '. r " , . v r
Finds There Waa Ho Explosion '.
The court also found that tho ship
was unharmed and that her cargo wss
general one. .the ammunition aboard
consisting only of 6000 cases of Cart'
ridges, from which there, waa no eiplo
sion. ' .'
The report waa a distinct disappoint
ment to the American survivors, who
expressed indignant surprise . at ' the
portion of the report which exonerated
Captain Tnrner and the Cunard line
from all -niamo and commflnaoa tae
discipline of tho crew.'" auLfrt,A,
Several attorneys representing Amer
ican clients listened elosely to ta read
ing of the judgment, which may have a
great effect on actions brought against
the steamship company. . ,-. t,"
Among the spectators were;' Walter
Webb-Ware, representing tho - TaBder
hilt family i Maj. F. Warren Pearl and
Mrs. Pearl of New York, and F. B.
Jenkins of Chicago, survivors, and Wil
ham Criehton of New York, whose wife
was lost.
Before the reading began 'Major
Pearl expressed the opinion that the
derision would, sharply condemn the of.
Peers of the ship and of the Cunard
line for negligence. . "
No doubt there were" .'mishaps' to

liar on Mersey found that 'Pnptain
Turner was fully advised brtSeMBrrtish
admiraKy at to the best codHMr'tO'foh

he did not follow these out. The court
pointed out,- however, that tha 4d Mtr al
ly instructions were not tutwnaedi'to
nrcvenWaptaln Turner froHfXeWkWis
ing bis individual judgment ah 'that
hia failure to follow the admlrhltv ad
vice to the letter was no 'reason for
blame. The reduction of "the"lrflsltn
nla'a speed from 24 to 19 knots still
left the vesset raster thaaanyrlother
boat on the Atlantic, said Barpn Mar
sey, and he foand there Was' no reason
to blame the Canard eompany-for this
economy during war time.
Relative to the admiralty inttrue
tions, the court said this phase of the
inquiry was private and that It would
b contrary to public interest to dis
cuss It.
Lord Mersey saidSn part)
"The captain of tbe ship, Mr, Thomas
Turner, gave his evidence truthfully
and well. I am quite satisfied that tho
two captains and the officers ere com
petent men and that they did their
duty. Captain Turner remained An the
bridge until he was swept iafro the-sea
and t aptain Anderson was working on
deck until he went overboard''nnd was
drowned."
Tribute to Young Hero
The court praised Leslie F. Morton,
a member of the crew, who .shipped at
New York and who waa acting as extra
lookout man at the time the Lualtanla
was toredoed, saying:
"He was only 18 years old but' he
seeius to have exhibited, great courage,
self possession and resource. Its was
the first to observe the approach of the
torMioes and before they had touched
the ship he had reported them o the
bridge by means of a telephone.' t
Though' knocked off hia feet . when a
torpedo hit the Lusitanla and. later
having to swim for hia life, Lord Mer
sey said, the youth, aided by a mem
ber of the erew named. Parry, righted a
collapsible boat and waa instruments'
in saving nearly 100 lives. The, court
here analyzed the passenger list, giving
the saved and lost by sex, by national
ity and commenting on the lack-of a
gsueral panic. He added:
"Home passengers attempted 'to as
sist in launching the boats and in BJ
opinion they did mors barm thaa good,
tt is, however, quite impossible tp imw
Ikmwi any blame to them. They all Wrr
working for the best.
Two Torpedoes Fired
"The eargo was a general cargo of
the ordinary kind, but a part eousisted
of cases of cartridges about $000. This
iiiiniuuition was stored Well forward on
the upper and lower decks sad about 60
yards away from where the torpedo
struck the ship."
Lord Mersey then reiterated that the
Lusitanla carried no masked guns nor
troops. The warnings, issued by th
(lei mans before the ship left, he fouafd
only aggravated the crime of her sink-
lnu.
"The blow of the first torpeflo bok'f
"n H lifeboat to srtiitera,'l said lord
Mersey. "A second torpedo wait Bred
almost immediately afterwards, which
also struck the ship ou tho starboard

that they had diligently collected all

meant for bis most serious and careful
