NEW RULES
ALL RIGHT
NOn.H0micidaI Football
Is Popular in
Honolulu.

The football fans are just beginning
as played under the new non-homicida
rules and may be said to have taker
| kindly to the innovation.
| OF the changes witnessed in the
! game as played this year, it may be
| said that their only effect will be to
popularize intercollegiate football.
Heretofore the bulgy-browed profes-
sors Of sprains, bruises and compound
fractures who have had charge of the
rules of the game have contended that
the only way to make the play inter
"rosebuds' as one would shovel coal
into a cellar and then pick them care
fully apart and remove the dead. All
the spectator could observe was a
mound of human beings, compile Gated
ly commingled, and the chief enjoy
ment of the game appeared to consist
in trying to pick out the legs of the
favorite players as they protruded to
make bets as to whether or not the
owners had been killed.
This phase of the sport may have
geons and those versed in the deep
technicalities of the game, kut to the
man watching the game from the side
lines little more frankness and can
dor, little more playing in the open
is more desirable, and this has been
had in the games played on the local
gridiron this season.
The changes cnat have been made in
the game tend to keep the players in
dividualiZed, scattered around the field
and called upon to do more than or
ganize themselves into units of a COM
pound press uniting to throw so many
tons of human flesh upon the body of
some exceptionally excellent player of
the other side, whose death will add to
the chances of the opposing team.
The new rules had everybody guess
ing, of course. Even the young men
entruste ted with the task of interpreting
the rules upon the field have found
themselves at fault several times. and
there have been many occasions when
1t was necessary to consult the little
book in which are set down the many
changes. All has gone well, however.
There have been few injuries and these
so slight as to call for nothing more
of surgical aid than is contained in
book Of court plaster.
OF course those freaks and misfits Of
life known as humorists will feel called
upon to compare the game with like
contests under the management of the
tiddledywinks club.
These jest-mongers will work over
time devising similes and metaphors by
which the game can be jokefully de-
scribed as innocuous and perfectly safe.
AS a matter of fact no such exertion
is required. The new game is simply
free of brutality; it has lost nothing
of interest.

WHOLE FAMILY WIPED OUT
Mother and Six Children Burned
Father Shot Himself.
BODIES FOUND IN THE RUINS
Opinion OF Officers is That Wife and
Children Were Killed and
House Fired.

Seven persons, all members of the
family of Charles Aver, perished In a
fire which destroyed Ayers farm
house, near Pembroke, N. II. The
bodies of Il child and of Ayers's
mother-in-law have been found in the
ruins. Mrs. Ayers and four children
are missing.
Late in the day Aver was found In
a dying condition on the Northford
turnpike, in the town of Chichester.
There was a bullet in his head. He
died soon afterward.
The victims of the tragedy were:
Charles F. Aver, aged 43, killed him
sslf by shooting Mrs. Addie Aver, his
wife; Mrs. Isaac Lakeman, Ayers
mother-in-law; Flossie Aver, aged
12; Alfred Aver, aged 10; Bernice
Aver, aged 6; Andrew Aver, aged 4;
a girl baby.
The theory of the county authori-
ties is that Aver was the murder, but
they nave been unable TO find any
evidence to indicate the methods
employed to wipe out the family
Whether the victims were shot or
killed by other means has not been
ascertained Only charred fragments
of two of the victims have been re-
covered, although persons who visit
ed the scene of the fire observed
other charred bodies in the smoking
ruins.
The fire occurred about 9 O'Clock In
the morning, and Aver drove up to
the home of his sister, Mrs. George
Bailey, in the town of Chichester, six
miles from his home, just after 1C
O'Clock. He remained at Mrs. Bail
ey's place during the afternoon, and
when informed that his buildings
had been burned manifested some
agitation. A moment later he drew a
revolver and pointing it at his temple
fired and fell unconscious. He died
that night.

FRANCE WANTS SATISFACTION
Resents Action of Venezuela in the
Case of M. Taiqny.

Further complications have resulted
in the relations between France and
Venezuela, which put rather SER
ious aspect upon the situation. NJ.
Taigny, the French charge d'affaires
at Caracas, having gone on board a
French steamer without first receiv-
ing permission from the Venezuelan
authorities was later prohibited from
leaving the vessel and returning to
the land, There was a disposition in
Paris not to view the matter too
gravely because diplomatic relations
had been severed between France and
Venezuela, and M. Taigny could there
fore be regarded as only a French
private citizen, and not as a repre-
sentative of his government. The
French government has, however, re-
sented the action of that of Venezue-
la in the case of NJ Taigny by ord
ering the Venezuelan charge d'affaires
at Paris to leave France.
1t is also reported that the French
government will now make a strong
naval demonstration against Venezuc-
la in order to obtain satisfaction for
its various grievances.

pUN's WEEKLY SUMMARY
Open Winter Aids Building Opera
tions-steady Demand for Iron
and Structural Steel.

II. G. Dun G. Co.'s "Weeltly Review
of Trade" says. Trade reports are
more irregular, chiefly because of the
points results are all that could be
desired, the new year starting with
much heavier transactions than in
1905, but high temperature and ex-
cessive rains in other localities re-
tard retail distribution of winter
goods, and It is becoming necessary
to reduce stocks by clearance sales.
Nothing disturbs the vigorous prep
arations for spring business, which
promises to make most gratifying
exhibit.
Open weather is facilitating outdoor
work, building operations progressing
at an unprecedented pace for the
season. Permits were issued in 1905
to the value of $52S, ,lSG,412, which is
40 per cent. n excess of the preced-
ing year. Official returns of foreign
commerce also tell of new record
established last year, the total for
December exports alone rising about
S25, 100000 beyond any other month
in the Nations history. To some eX-
tent this is attributed to the approach
ing tariff regulations in Germany.
For the last week at New York eX-
ports showed an increase of "a, 1922
$50 and imports gained 81 ,209,057, as
compared with the same week last
year.
More advances in wages are an
nounced and an agreement as to coal
mining is more probable, but some
friction Is noted in the building
trades. Manufacturing plants made
favorable reports, especially those of
the leading industry, and another new
high record has been established in
the security market. Railway earn
ings thus far reported for January
were ~ larger than a year ago.
Closing of large contracts for pig
iron by the leading interest provided
an element, of strength in the iron
and steel industry that improves the
tone and makes the outlook for the
first quarter most satisfactory.
Activity Of Eastern wholesalers in
handling samples indicates that origi-
nal orders for fall shoes will be plac-
ed much earlier than in previous
seasons.
