THE SCENE IN COURT.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-Abra-
ham Ruef created a great sensation in
the courtroom by pleading guilty of
extortion. He declared himself willing
10 confess and place at the disposal of
the authorities all knowledge in his
possession of municipal irregularities
which would implicate many prominent
men beside Mayor Schmitz.
Throughout the proceedings he has
maintained confident and arrogant
demeanor- But, as time passed, he be-
gan to show signs of weakening. His
face has been marked with lines of suf-
fering, and he had been anxious and
troubled for some days previous to his
unexpected acknowledgment of guilt.
The confession was made in Judge
Dunne,s courtroom, in the Temple
sheriff.. He came before the Judge
showing evidences of having passed a
sieepless night
A private conference was asked for
and permitted with his counsel Ach
and Shortridge, Judge Dunno placing
his chambers at their disposal. Ruef

terest along the way, the route was
| lined with friendly residents whose alo-
/ has sounded true and hospitality and
welcome were showered upon the party
! all along the way.
| The party landed from the Claudine
after a delightful trip to Capt. Cooks
monument in Kealakekua bay, being
greeted by larger number of residents
than might have been expected. After
reembarking the party crossed the bay
to Napoopoo, taking carriages there for
what proved to be a most enjoyable
crosscountry drive.
The scenery all the way to Kailua
was a revelation to the visitors, VINO
were loud in their expressions of de-
light as each turn of the road present
new pictures to their view. There were
several short stops made en- route, the
pineapple cannery, the okolehao distil-
lery, the vanilla plantation and other
interesting spots being explored. At
the residence of z. H. Edwards, presi-
dent of the Agricultural and Industrial
Corporation of Hawaii, souvenirs of the
visit in the form of wrapped up vanilla
beans were distributed and refresh
ments were served. The picturesque
and the artistic decorations of the
house itself were greatly admired.
At Holualoa a dainty and satisfying
luncheon was served, the schoolhouse
being tastefully decorated for the oc-
casion. Judge Matthewman presided
at the feast as toastmater, welcoming
the visitors in the name of the people
of Kona. A response was made by
/ ~.
the best and most pointed addresses Of
the trip.
After expressing the pleasure the
| party felt at being the recipients Of
such a hearty welcome as had been ex-
tended by the people of Kona, the
speaker began on broader grounds. In
careful language he referred to the pos
sibility of statehood for Hawaii, such
having been brought up on several
previous occasions. Such a hope was
| to be dismissed, he declared, for there
was no possibility of statehood being
given to Hawaii for at least the next
fifty years.
Gould we afford to grant you state
hood with at least fifty per cent. Of
your population Oriental, and at least
| seventy per cent. of your possible vot-
| You have many serious problems to
work out before the time comes to
place the Hawaiian star on the flag
These problems you must work out by
yourselves. There are some things in
which the Congress can help you, but
the more important questions for this
| Territory are those which will have to
be worked out here and by the pee pie
here There is no use in thinking of
statehood under your present condi-
lions and no use in promising you
statehood"
On the part Of the agriculturalists of

excellent address on the needs of the
district and the help that was wanted
for diversified industries from Con-
gress. This address was the most
forceful that had so far been delivered

to the visitors and was listened to with
a great deal of careful interest.
The other speaker of the banquet was
Congressman Cole. who thanked the
good ladies of Kona for the elaborate
entertainment prepared for the party.
SPEECHES AT KAILUA.
After luncheon the party proceeded
to Kailua, where a few delightful
hours were spent at the country seat
of Prince Cupid. Here the members OF
the party had an opportunity OF greet
ing the largest gathering of natives SO
far met with on any OF their trips and
short speeches were made by Con-
gressmen Fitzgerald. Campbell and
Norris, Prince Cupid and J. X. Nahale.
This meeting was probably the most
significant OF any. The Representatives
of the American Congress addressed
the Hawaiians on the grounds of the
palace built by King Kalakaua, advis-
ing them in loyalty to the flag OF their
new country, congratulating them on
their advances in patriotism and hav.
ing their remarks interpreted into Ha-
waiian by the Delegate. the represent
tative of the royalty OF the past king
dom.

VOYAGE MADE PLEASANT.
Throughout the several trips made on

to the least of the stewards no oppor-
tunity was lost to make everyone on

had warned the attorneys what he
meant to do. and they endeavored to
dissuade him. feeling confident that he
would be acquitted During their pri-
vate controversy, Ruef, who was weak
and nervous, swooned, and brandy had
to be administered before he revived
When they returned TO the court
room, Ach and Shortridge both asked
permission 10 retire from the case, ex-
planning that they had had irreconciI-
able differences with their client. and
the permission was granted.
Ruef then arose and said that he de-
sired to make statement, having dis:
closed this intention to his counsel half
an hour before. He then confessed
that he was no longer able to bear the
mental and physical strain of the trial.
AS he talked he drank water constant
ly, the glass being refsled by the
bailiff, and he wiped his face nervous

The indictment was reread that he
might change his plea of not guilty to

with extortion in the case of the Del

clerk, what is your plea?" he replied,
almost inaudibly, Guilty
The jury was then discharged, and

tions.
The ride up had not been the forinid-
able' undertaking feared by so many
and the varied reports of the hardships
of the trail proved to have been most
pleasantly exaggerated. Some of the
ladies of the party who had never nd
den a horse before, came over the
trail like veterans, and the next day,
the critical time, found not a member
of the party any the worse for the
trip.
A FAREWELL LUAU.
Friday at noon saw the members of
the party all safely returned at Olirda,
where lunch was served The return
to the plains was made comfortably in
carriages and on horseback, and the
afternoon was spent in resting at the
hospitable residences of the people of
Paia and the neighborhood. In the
evening a reception was given at the
residence of Mr.. Baldwin, at whose
house a number of the party were en-
tertained, and who proved to be a de-
lightful host
On Saturday, the last day on the is
land, the party were entertained at an
elaborate luau at the fisheries at Ka-
hu1ui, Judge Kepoikai making the well
coming speech to the Iuau and the fare
well speech to mark the close of the
too short visit
During the stay of the Congressman
on Maui the various members of the
party spoke in appreciation of the well

effect produced upon them by the rich
ness of the island, the wonder of it's
varied scenery. the energy of its men
and the hospitality of it's residents,
which had been extended to them from
every hand hospitality which rang
true and which produced a feeling of
regret upon the members of the party
that their time on the island was to be
so short.
The sailing of the Claudine with the
party from Kahului was marked by the
most enthusiastic sendoff so far given
the party, a bargeload of the citizens;
including the majority of the commit
tees. being towed out to the steamer 20
shout the last aloha. A farewell speech
was made by Jim Coke, who had made
himself a friend of each individual
member of the party, and an answer
was made by Congressman Cole. The
Maui reception on the whole had been
a spontaneous welcome and made the
biggest kind of a hit with the visitors.

WHITTIER'S BIRTHDAY
NEW ENGLAND REMEMBERS
THE QUAKER POET.

BOSTON, December 1.-THE Tooth an
niversary of the birth of John Greenleaf
Whittier. which occurred today. was
marked by commemorative observances in
many schools. and by literary societies in
many sections of the country, of which he
is generally considered one of the most
beloved and representative poets
In New England, where he spent most
of his life and scenes and traditions of
which We're the subject of many of his
works, his memory was more thoroughly
revived than elsewhere.
The centennial program in New Eng
land centered about Amesbury. where the
poet lived a greater part of his life. The
anniversary also was observed by the
city council of Haverhill, his birthplace,
uniting with the Whittier Club of that
city in commemorative exercises, and the
schools of that city and Boston closing
for a half holiday in the afternoon in
recognition of the day.
Amesburys celebration of the day was
arranged on an elaborate plan.
At Danvers, Mass. and Center Harbor,
n. H.. also exercises wehe held in OBJ
serVance of the anniversary.

CONGRESS SHOULD ACT.
Mr.. Syme Believes That Body Should
Save Historic Trees.

1.-The question of the destruction of the
historic trees in the Mall is now a mat
ter for Congress to determine Attorney
Conrad H. Syme declared today in con-
versation with a Star reporter.
My object in filing the bill for an in
junction was to preserve the historic trees
in the Botanic Garden until Congress con-
vened," Mr.. Syme said This object has
been accomplished. Congress is now in
session and has exclusive control over
the Botanic GaId-n. The matter is purely
one for it's determination. The fate of
these trees and of practically all of the
trees in the Mall is now in the hands of
Congress.
With the exception of Mr. Justice
Harlan, l do not know of single Ken
tuckian who has raised his voice to pro-
test against the destruction of the Crit
tenden Peace oak and the Beck elm. If
the members of the Kentucky delegation
in Congress do not desire these trees de-
stroYed. it is very peculiar that they have
taken no action in the premises. 1t seems
to me that this Is matter which should
be determined by Congress. My only fear
is that during the Christmas recess if the
rule TO show cause now pending is va
Gated the trees may be destroyed. If
Congress desires this. i do not see that

ATLANTA, December 17.BThomas E.
Watson, once populist candidate for the
presidency, reached Atlanta yesterday
from Washington, where he lunched with
President Roosevelt and conferred with
Secretary Cortelyou on the money situa-
ton. - -..
Mr.. Roosevelt" said Watson. 'is a
great, big, honest man and doesn't say
things that he does not mean. But has
it ever occurred to you that Roosevelt is
the embodiment of great reforms; that he
is hated in Wall street as no man was
ever hated before and that if the people
rise up and demand that he be selected
to carry out these reforms which he has
begun, he cannot refuse.
Il do not regard his unanimous renomi-
nation as at all improbable. If it is given
to him he cannot refuse. and he will not
in my Judgment. refuse to complete the
work which he has so we'll begun. I re-

DECLINE TO REOPEN CASE.
J. w. Castles Plea for Rehearing
Denied bv Commissioners

In a letter to the Commiss' oners J. w.
Castle of 146 o street northeast alleges
that lie has been illegally prosecuted for
the sale of alleged adulterated milk. and
that ne has not been accorded just treat
ment at the hands of the District health
department He asked that the Commits
soners reopen his case, as he is confident
he can prove his innocence.
Castle explained that when his case was
called for hearing in the Police Court
which was the first notice he had that he
was accused of selling aduterated milk.
he was unable to appear in court on ac-
count of the illness of his wife. and was
compelled to forfeit so collateral, not
withstanding his innocence. All he needs.
he says, is an impartial hearing to prove
this.
He explained that two days after lie
was summoned to court and called at the
health office and requested to see part of
the sample of milk taken from his place
upon which the charges against him were
based and which samples the law re-
quires TO be retained. he learned upon in
uiry that this law had not been complied
with and that his sample was not retain
ed. thus cutting him off from the means
of vndication.
When DR.. r. L. Lynch. the District
chemist was called upon 20 explain
why Mr. Castles sample had not been
il is the Practice of his office to keep
such samples under lock and key, but
il often happens that the bottles con-
tanning the samples are destroyed by
explosion He said Mr.. Castles sam
pie was destroyed in this manner. DR..
Lynch said he is now using heavier
bottle and a different method of sealing
to avoid these explosions.
Dr. W. c. Woodward. health officer of
the District. who was also called upon
by the Commissioners for an explanation,
has reported that it is to be reg -etted that
Mr. Castles sample was not reserved. but
in view of the fact that Mr.. Castles re-
quest was not made until after his col
lateral had been forfeited. the loss of the
sample imposes no hardshpS. He recon-
merdad that. in view of the fact that Mr..
Castle had sufficient time and opportunity
to lust the matt AZ PRIOR to 70 feiting the
collateral in the Police Court, he be in
formed hiatt il is not considered necessary
or proper to reopen the case in question.
Commissioner Mcfarland has approved
this recommendation.
