of this Snort. the real vrDstiors came
ON. They entered the space reserved
for the competitors. when suddenly a
halt was called. and 81 was announced

small trunks which are ordinarily worn
by wrestlers. knee tights must be

soon came back with a number OF pairs
of bathing trunks, which the wrcstlers
put on. and then the real sport COM

At first single matches were put on.
Then prizes were offered for any one
man who could throw three opponents
in succession. one wrestler would take
his place in the ring and remain tin he
had thrown his three opponents or had

Boys Field, was a great success from
every standpoint save that of attend

The arrangements were excellent ana
far ahead of those in connection with
any track meet ever pulled off in Ho-
nolulu. The starting was done by cleo
trio device, a distinct Improvement over
the pistol-fring method, and of great
service in the cause of accurate time
keeping.
The trial heats in the sprints were
governed b. the time-test. The men
making the best time in the prelimi-
nary heats qualified for the final, ire
spective of where they finished.
A feature of the meeting was the
number of men new to athletic meets
who competed. Some very promising
material was uncovered. With the ex-
ception of the mile relay race, all con-
testants are members of the Y. NJ. G "A.

A CONTRAST

In the state OF Massachusetts,. since
colonial times one of the subdivisions OF
the world most devoted TO education. II is
proposed that certain OF the property held
by colleges shall no longer be exempt
from taxation.
In the state of Michigan not only Is
such a proposition undreamed OF, but II
is contemplated that the property OF the
people shall be subjected TO a largely in
creased tax for the support OF the insti-
tuition that stands at the head OF our 10
schools OF collegiate rank.

London. May 13.-The Daily Telegraph's s

accidental discovery and foling of the
greatest terrorist plot since the great De-
cembrist conspiracy SO years ago.
The correspondent says he has the
sensational story from two reliable
sources. According to these versions no
fewer than 80 conspirators resolved a cou-
pie of months ago to assassinate Emperor
Nicholas. and plans were finally fixed
for carrying out the deed during Easter.
The plotters included reserve officers
and other officials and civilians whose 10y
atty hitherto had been undoubted A large
number of plotters the correspondent
says. was necessitated by the elaborate
precautions adopted nowadays to protect
imperial personages.
The plan was. the correspondent says,
TO approach Tsarkoe-Selo in distinct
groups. and then execute a sudden and
daring attack on the palace. The first
group. consisting OF "a men, arrived on
the Russian frontier Good Friday, when.
for some means unknown, suspicious
against them were aroused and the whole

INTERVENE IN

Washington, May 13.-A situation has
developed in Oklahoma that may result
in the failure OF that territory to qualify
for statehood under the terms of the

convention in Oklahoma, which has just
adjourned was composed of 10 members.
OF this number 9s were Democrats and II

when an election will be held for the pur-
pose OF enabling the electors to pass upon
IL.
Such action by the president would rem
der IL necessary for congress to pass an
other enabling act. The failure of the
president to approve the constitution
would once more put Oklahoma and In
dian Territory on the statehood waiting
