Newspaper men who are coming to Honolulu October 10 as delegates to the Press Congress qf the World wg]l find that shark hunting goes hand in | hand with other sports, and, although |intensely exciting, is in no way dan- gerous. The shark hunters go to sea in a launch or sampan which tows a dead white horse. When the fishing | grounds are reached, the boat begins to circle about, and soon the fins of sharks may be seen cutting through the water. If one is expert, he may harpoon 'MOOSE LODGE TO HAVE NEW CLUB ROOMS SOON Will Occupy Second Floor of Building Being Erected By | Bemidji Hardware Co. | The Moose Lodge is to have a new | home in the very near future.

A fine large lodge room, 50x60 | feet with lobby and club rooms will be provided for the organization, and |it is expeeted that the building will be ?rmuly for occupancy by about the I first of the year. The large increase | in memebership of the order during the last year has made it necessary to secure larger quarters and when the hall is completed it will be the finest. hall available for public pur- poses as well as lodge purposes in the city. The lodge has sccured one of the foremdst speakers in America to de- |liver an address to the public of Be- midji Sunday afternoon in the new armory and in the evening in the | Mothodist church, in the person of Darius A. Brown of Kansas City. Mr. Brown is now delivering his address on “The Men and Women of Tomor- {row” in Northern Minnesota cities and is being greeted by crowds where | he appears. He is speaking to Kiwan- is, Rotary, Commercial, Lions and other club organizations as well as church organizations. His message is one of child conservation, prompted by his experience and observation in the handling of boys and girls in the great institution at Mooseheart. He der was the supreme dictator of the Moose order last year and, while act- ing uch, devoted his entire time to its mission. The local lodge sccured Mr. Brown to speak in Bemidji in the hope of being able to strongly impress the value of child conservation, the spe- cial feature of the order, WHITE ROBED FIGURES TAKEN FOR KU KLUX KLAN Durant, Okla., Oct, 7.—Shots were exchanged between — Sherilf Taylor land deputies by what officers believe was a Ku Klux Klan meeting, when they discovered white robed fipures in a pasture here last night.

The shark is a furious fighter and once harpooned or caught with hook and line displays amazing strength.. But he finally tires and is gradually hauled aboard and then dispatehed. There are few Hawaiians living to- day who care to mect a shark in the open water and fight him as his an- ors did. In the olden days a Ha- an armed himself with a hard, wooden, double-pointed javelin, about 18 inches long, and with the center portion large enough to permit a good grip. He then let himself down into the water. As the shark nppronched and turned over to strike, its great jaws open to their full width, the Hawaiian, with a quick movement, thrust the javelin between the jaws, one point penetrating the roof of the mouth and the other the lower jaw. The shark, thus unable to close his mouth, and helpless, was either speared or allowed to swim away as the Hawaiian chose, ES IN SEVENTH INNING SENSATIONAL THIRD TNNING OPENSSCORING Both Pitchers Blow Up in Third and Each Side Scores Faur Runs BASES FULL WITH RUTH UP CAUSES SENSATION Toney Replaced -By Barnesj Likewise Shawkey Gives Mound to Quinn PR (By Unjted Press) Polo Grounds:"“fl.
