AS soon as DIR. Noel perceived the
dead man In the bed his face dorkened,
aud. hurrying back to the door which
he had left ajar. he hastily closed and
double locked It,
"Upw he cried. addressing Silas In
strident tones. This is no time for
weeping. What have you done? How
came this body in your room? Speak
freely to one who may be helpful. DO
you imagine would ruin you? DO you
think this piece Of dead flesh on your
pillow can alter In any degree the sym

me? Credulous youth. the horror with
which blind and unjust law regards an
action never attaches to'the docr in the

Thus encouraged. Silas gathered him
self together and, in broken voice and
helped out by the doctors interroga-
tons, contrived at last 10 put him In
possession of the facts. But The con-
versation between the prince and Ger

understood little Of its purport and had
no idea that # was in any way related
to his own misadventure.

CHANGES IN THE
FOOTBALL RULES

The New York Sun says of proposed
changes in football rules:
Suggestions without number have
been made to the football rules COM
mittee for changes in the playing rules.
Some OF the suggestions, instead OF
tending toward simplicity, which Is
needed in the game, would make 1t
more complex, and the best place for
them is the waste basket. There's been
too much tinkering with the rules al
ready.
One suggested change is that after a
tumble or blocked kick the ball be-
comes dead and goes to the other side
where the misplay occurred. It is ar
gued that when one team carries the
ball a long distance it is not fair that a.
single long run resulting from a fun
Bile or blocked kick should Offset all the
other teams hard work.
Another suggestion is to do Away
with the wholesale substitution OF
players toward the end of a game to
get fresh eleven in the field, and still
another, and one which will be widely
supported, is to decrease the value of
a field goal in relation to a touchdown.
All kinds of suggestions are made on
this point. one to rate the field goal
according TO the distance the ball is
kicked.
A third suggestion is that six men
shall be in the line of scrimmage all
the time, but if seven men are in the
line the first man receiving the ball
from the snapback may run with it.
It was found last year that the new
rule requiring seven men to be in line
in certain parts of the field did not en-
courage the presence of light fast
backs, but put premium on avoirdu-
pois behind the line.

DEATH OF AGED
INSURANCE Man

Milton NJ Rhorer, for twenty-eight
years the Deputy Insurance Commits
sioner for California, died at his home
in Berkeley on April "a after an illness
of two months. He was known from
one end of the State to the other and
insurance men of Honolulu also knew
him we'll Mr.. Rhorer was born in In.
diana in 1880. He went to California
in 1872 and spent few years farming
in the Sacramento Valley. Then he
removed to San Francisco and engaged
in insurance. How high standing he
attained in that business may be judg-
ed from the fact that he held the office
of Deputy Insurance Commissioner
through the successive administrations
that controlled the political machinery

GRAND JURY
IN QUESTION
Iesta's Abatement Plea
to His indictment
for Libel.

1
F. J.. Tesla. on being called to pleat
Ito his indictment for criminal libel be
fore Judge De Bolt yesterday, by hi
attorneys, T. McCants Stewart and C
A. Long, fled a plea in abatement
supported by defendants affidavit, up
on the following grounds:
First That the indictment herein
Is illegal and invalid. in that certain
persons are on the jury panel, and act
ed as jurors. and participated in tn,
proceedings of the grand jury finding
said indictment without being legally
lqualif1ed to act as grand jurors in and
for this court
Second. That said indictment is lille.
gal and invalid. in that it was not
found by the number of jurors required
by law TO find an indictment
The prayer is that the plea in abate-
menf be sustained that the alleged
Indictment may be quashed and that
the defendant may be discharged from
further attendance upon this court.
Defendant, in his affidavit. makes
allegations that, condensed, are as fol-
lows:
That the following named are serv-
ing as grand jurors at the present term
of court, viz: j. II. Schnack, Winfred
n. Rabbit, Fred. Turrill, Henry Hick-
ey. Joseph Andrade, H. p Benson. Jas.
Mott Jr., John Edwards, Alex. Lyle, d.
j. Styne. J. C. Axtell, F. P. Mcintyre,
John A. Baker, VIM. Mulch and Guy
Owens
That certain OF said persons are not
qualified to serve as Jurors, and were
~
ceedings of the grand jury when said
alleged Indictment was fpund. ITO the
prejudice and injury of this defend
ant, viz:
John Edwards convicted in the Po-
lice Court of Honolulu on Feb "a, 1880,
of larceny and sentenced to one years
at hard labor and to pay
a fine of SIS and costs. Further, that
said John Edwards, on April %, 1881,
in the District Court of Honolulu.
pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny
and was sentenced to one years inn
at hard labor and fined
$40 and costs. Further, that said John
Edwards, on December 81, 1903, was
committed by the District Court of
to answer before the Circuit
Court to assault and battery with q
loaded revolver on one Mauna.
Henry Hickey, who on February l.
1899. pleaded guilty to the charge of
having opium or a preparation thereof
in possession and was sem
fenced therefor to pay a fine Of $3.50
and costs.
Finally, That deponent verify be-
Iieves, and upon such belief so1emnIy
suggests, that said alleged indictment
was not found by the number required
oy law to find an Indictment
Deputy Attorney General E. C. Pet
ers being present for the Territory, by
consent of counsel the court set the
of the plea in abatement for
, o'clock this morning.
