MAKE PENALTIES HEAVIER
Foul Play and Brutality Are as Repre- hensible as Cheating at Cards or Striking a foul Blow
 In Boxing.

Philadelphia, November 20.-Dr. J. Will liam White, professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, and mem Der of the committee on athletics, return ed tonight from Washington where he had been summoned by President Roosevelt to discuss matters relating to football. In an interview tonight pr. White said:
 ''The President did me the honor of ask ing me to lunch with him at the White House today for the purpose of discussing with him the situation as to American last weeks Outlook was the occasion of the invitation. As to what took place during my visit the President has per- mitted me to say that we are In complete accord as to the need of the abolition of brutality and foul play: of the increase of the powers of the officials, and of the severity of the penalties as being neces- sary to bring about such abolition as de- sired, and change of any rules that might be required to minimize danger while pre- serving the essential, manly and vigorous characteristics of the game and as to the urgent need of earnest effort to secure a simple and uniform eligibility code for all American colleges and universities.
 Continue the Game.
 "The President said he emphatically be- lieved in continuing the game. The Presi- dent continued:
 Foul play and brutality should be given the same punishment as a man who cheats at cards, or who strikes a foul blow in boxing. The umpire must have the widest latitude in enforcing this prin- ciple as to the effect of ordering not only individual players but the whole teams off the field, and college presidents should hold to the sharpest accountability the umpire who permits foul or brutal foot ball in any game We want simple rules, not complicated rules, because compli- cated rules offer too many loopholes. The responsible authorities of the several col 1eges whose teams play together. should have what may be called gentlemans agreement among themselves that these rules shall be enforced in spirit as well as in letter each being held responsible for what goes on in his own college and each seeing to the permanent removal from the game not only of the foul or brutal play CT, but of the man who is not bona fide student and amateur It would be real misfortune to lose so manly and vigorous game as football, and to avert such a possibility the college authorities in each college should see, to 1t that the game in that college is clean.'"

 BECOMING NORMAL
Poles Willing to Be Faithful
 Russian Subjects
BUT THEY WANTAUIONoMY
Prominent Delegation Pleads the Coun- try's Cause, Saying the Poles Know That Independence Is Dream
 Impossible of Realization.

St. Petersburg, November H.-Normal conditions of life are being resumed here. The workmen are returning to work, the electric light plants are in operation and telephonic communication has been re- morning.
 St. Petersburg, November 20.-The dele gation of twenty-one prominent Poles, comprising representatives of all the prin- clpal parties in Poland. except the social ists and also including members of the Catholic, Evangelical and Hebrew churches which came to St. Petersburg to plead the cause of Poland, to make known the attitude of that country to- wards the government, and to outline the demands which ought to be immediately granted in order to restore order, was a manifesto issued to the Russian people reviewing the sad history of Poland in the last century. declaring that the Poles have no thought of separation or of inde- pendence, and seeking the support of all parties in Russia.
 Must Have Autonomy.
 The manifesto firmly declares that the normal and peaceful existence of Poland will only be made possible by the granting of autonomy, permission to use the Polish language in the schools and in the courts. and by the local administration and the entrustlng of the Poles with the govern ment of the kingdom. The assertions re- gently made in government communica- ton regarding the causes which led to the declaration of martial law in Poland, are categorically denied. It is insisted that the country is not in a state of revolution, and that the acts of violence which form ed the pretext for the imposition of mar tial law were not the acts of the Polish people as a while but of the same revo- lutionary elements which were to be found throughout all Russia.
 Will Be True Russian Subjects.
 Count Krassezinsld, leader of the dee- gation, who Is grandson. of the famous Polish poet, declared to the Associated Press tonight not only that the Polish parties recognized that the restoration of Polish independence was a dream im- possible of realization, but that the econ omic future of the country was bound up with that of Russia, and that if given autonomy and freedom from the domina- ton of Russian administration, the Poles would be willing to become faithful Rus sian subjects and share the same aspra- tions for the future development of the empire and its expansion towards the Balkans and the Dardanelles.

Receive Secret Advice.

Government officials now admit that they have received various secret advices regarding contemplated uprisings before election day in various parts of the island, particularly In the provinces of Santiago, Santa Clara and Pinar del Rio, with a probable attack on the palace in Havana. The object of the latter, according to the officials, appears to be the removal pos sbly by assassination of President Palma. The plotters it is pointed out are well aware, since there is now no vice pres ident, that the election of President Pal mas successor would, according to the constitution, be in the hands of congress. and that the liberals, with the help of a few independents. could control both houses

Special Measures Taken.

The government has not revealed It's information as to the extent of these plots, but special measures have been taken for the guarding of the palace. The facts that the president and his family are re- maining at home ond that troops are be- ing sent to the points where. according to report the plotting originated, are consid- cred significant. So far as known, how ever, these plots are not generally backed by any large party and whether they are widespread or otherwise, the active watch fulness against any form of uprising IS bound to have squelohed any of the am bitions of the plotters.
 President Palma's eldest son, who ar rived today from Vera Cruz, entered on a five days quarantine.
 The generally accepted theory, how ever, Is that the remainder of the plots are intended by his enemies to imbue President Palma with the idea of resign ing and that there are no actual plots to do him physical injury.

SUPERINTENDENT CRAW'S RE-
PORT.
October 10. 1905.
Board of Commissioners of Agriculture
and Forestry, Honolulu, 7. H.
Gentlemen: The importation Of
plants and trees by freight and mail
has been light. The receipts of fresh
fruits and vegetables have been liberal
and with a few exceptions have been
very free from insect pests or disease.
All fruit subject to the attack of
Anarsia lineatella has been carefully
inspected and all that showed the
slightest trace of the larvae of that
moth has been destroyed. Several
shipments of lemons that were infest-
ed with scale insects were returned at
owners expense and other infested
fruits that the consignees refused to
deport have been destroyed by fire.
In August five large Wardian cases of
plants arrived from the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, ID. c., ac-
compapied by certificate that the plants
were free from insect pests and a priv
ate letter to one of the owners after
stating that a certificate of inspection
was attached to the case earnestly ex-
pressed the hope that the quarantine
inspectors at Honolulu would make no
trouble for him. Naturally the owner
considered that such a certificate would
be carte blanche and require no fur
Their inspection. AS this Territory is
most interested in the condition of such
imported stock we prefer to make our
own examination and in this case we
found the following Injurious living in
sect pests. The owner was present
during the inspection and personally
saw the insects that they were alive:
Coccus longulus, in various stages;
Saissetia oleae. containing eggs; Pull
vinaria camelicola, Lepidosaphes bee
xii. Aspldlottis ficus, in various stages
Aspidiotus sp.
Five of the first named scale in
sects were sufficiently numerous so
that no experienced inspector should
have overlooked them. The entire ship
ment was fumlgated with hydrocyanic
acid gas and has been twice subse-
auently inspected without finding any
living insects.
The sending out of such infested
plants I consider nothing less than
criminal, and the enormous loss sus-
tanned by the people of the country by
imported insect pests (as published by

KONA PLANTATION AGAIN
UPON ITS own DOMAIN

All OF the litigation that has hung
over the corpse of the Kona Sugar
Company has been settled. Discontin-
uances of a batch of suits were filed
late yesterday afternoon with Henry
Smith. Clerk of Judiciary, as they were
In the Supreme Court and the First and
Third Judicial Circuit Courts.
Frank b. McStocker and associates
have come into possession of about one
thousand acres of land, including the
mill site, by purchase from the Kapio-
lani Estate, Ltd. 1t was the mill they
were really after, as they could have
done without the lands. The considera-
ton named in the deed is $4,000, but 1t
is understood this refers to the lands
only. For the present at least the
entire price of the purchase is conf
Dental.
For some time past, in common
knowledge, Mr.. McStocker has been
keeping the cane on the property in
good cultivation. 1t Is said that a fund
OF $4,000 was in hand for maintain
ing the plantation as going concern.
Now that the parties have the mill,
a great revival Of activity in North Ko-
ma may be anticipated.
The stipulations for ending the
heart breaking lawsuits were signed by
C. w. Ashford for the Kapiolani Estate
and Cathcart & Milverton for C. ].
Hutchins and associates in the fight.
Mr.. Ashford last night gave an Adver-
tiser reporter the following connected
account of the litigation:
THE original case was brought by
the Kapiolani Estate against c. j.
Hutchins, trustee, in the District Court
of North Kona, for writ of possess
sion. 1t was for the Waiaha 1 and the
Kahului lands, which included the
sugar mill site. The Estate won out
in the District Court, and the defense
appealed to the Circuit Court.
Meantime the Estate hired a steam
er one Sunday and skinned up to Kali
lua and obtained writ of possession.
which was promptly executed by
Charlie Chillingworth, as deputy of the
High Sheriff. The defense then
brought a writ of certiorari in the SUI
preme Court to set aside the writ of
possession. The Supreme Court set 1t
aside on the ground that the District
Magistrate had no jurisdiction to issue
it during the tendency Of the appeal.
But the Estate hung on to possess
sion just the same. The appeal was
heard before Judge Edings at Kailua
in May, 1904, and the District Court
judgment in favor of plaintiff was sus-
tanned. Another writ of possession was
taken out in the Circuit Court and
executed. Ever since the Estate has
been holding under that writ
When Judge Matthewman came in
to office the defense secured an order
setting aside the judgment given by
Judge Edings and granting a new trial
The new trial was held before Mat
thewman at Kailua in January last

A CURIOUS TROUBLE TO WHICH

Mrs. Blacksten Tells How She Was

trembling, cramps and even paralysis.
Writers, telegraphers, tailors and seam
stresses are among the classes most
threatened in this way with the loss of
their power to earn living. The only
safeguard Is to keep up the supply of
nerve force through the blood, which
carries to the narves the food that sup
port their strength. The following in
stance shows that nerve power may be
recovered after it seems entirely lost,
IL the right means are taken. Mrs. o.
S Blacksten, of No. 5s4 North Bowman
street. Mansfield, Ohio, says:
For years my hands would become
SO numb at times that 1 would drop
anything 1 attempted to lift. Later
they became so bad that 1 could not
sew any longer, and at last I could
scarcely do anything at all with my
hands. At night the prcking sensa-
tons would come on worse than ever,
and my hands and arms would pain
so that dreaded to go to bed My
family doctor gave me some nerve tab
let's. They helped me little, but only
for short time after l had taken
them, and If happened to be without
them for a day or two 1 would be as
bad as ever or even worse. Finally 1
got box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and began to take them.
"The result was surprising. BY the
time l had taken the last pill in my
first box 1 could see gain. Few
know how much it meant for me to be
able to sew, and when / first found I
could not feel the needle between my
fingers 1 was alarmed. Thanks to Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. I am now all
right. I can sleep undisturbed by pain,
and for two years 1 have been as well
as 1 ever was in my life"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills feed the
nerves by making new, rich blood and
in this way have cured nervous diseases
of every description from simple rest
lessness to paralysis. They have BAN
ished the fortunes of neuralgia, the
weakness of nervous prostration, the

and he decided In favor of defendants
upon the single ground that the lease
under which they held provided that
1t could not he forfeited unless all of
its covenants We're broken, whereas
the plaintiff claimed that only few
of the covenants had been broken. The
plaintiff took exceptions to the judy
ment and later, when the defendants
gave notice of motion before Judge
Matthewman for an order to restore to
them the possession, the Estate went
into the Supreme Court last June and
obtained n temporary writ of prohibit
ton, restraining further proceedings In
the main suit in the Third Circuit. and
that suit of prohibition is on the pres
ent calendar of the Supreme Court
and was continued October to the
November session, in view of the then
pending negotiations for settlement.
I'm the meantime the. Kapiolani Es-
tate had, rs claimed by 1t, become en-
titled to one-third interest in all Of
the estates OF the defunct Kona Sugar
Co., as sold at auction at Kailua, May
3, 1909, and purchased by Robert W.
Single as trustee for c. ]. Hutchins
and others. This claim was resisted by
Eutchins and resulted in the Estates
assigning its interest under that sale
to Robert L. Colburn, who brought suit
in equity in the First Circuit Court
to declare a trust in his favor concern
ing the one-third so claimed. The in
junction in that suit was issued by
Judge Gear against Hutchins, which
practically tied up the control OF the
property.
Negotiations have been pending for
over a year looking to a sale of the
lands owned by the Kapiolani Estate
affected by the lease I'm question, up
on one of which lands the cane mill
is situated. The mill has been the real
bone of contention, as its possession
was the key to the situation, and the
Estate was careful to secure that pos
session at the earliest possible date
and has succeeded in keeping it to this
date, although none of the suits has
been finally decided.
Now, however, as part of the
project to revive the Kona plantation
and the culture OF sugar generally
along the Kona coast, Frank b. Nc
Stocker and others have become finan-
cially interested in the enterprise and
as a result of it all, the entire mass
of differences existing between the Ka-
piolani Estate and its assignee, Robert
L. Colburn, on the one side. and C.
j. Hutchins and those for whom he
stood as trustee on the other side has
now been amicably adjusted through
the sale by the Kapiolani Estate to F.
b. McStocker, trustee, of the lands Of
Waiaha l and Kahului 2, including the
Kona sugar MILL and mutual releases
have been executed by the parties, each
to the other. and all of the suits men,
toned have been discontinued by stip-
ulations filed late this afternoon"
