SAILOR ROBERTS IS
ANOTHER WRESTLER

William Roberts, burly sailor on
the U. s. S. Iroquois, is the latest addi-
ton to the list of wrestling finds in
this city. He Is big fellow, though
deceiving in his looks. weighing about
1856 pounds in trim for a match, and
is said to be wonder for strength
His arms are as big as an ordinary
mans leg and when he shakes hands
and says "Ich bin glucklich," etc, the
poor unfortunate feels as II he had
met with a rock.crusher Roberts is
German, which fact is apparent when
he talks.
He has not wrestled for about year
and a half His last big match was
pulled off in Germany before one OF
the sports clubs there. Last night he
ran across Eddie Tate, manager of
big Froelecher, and Immediately tossed
o challenge In his face. Tate backed
off, for Roberts is dark horse" as
yet. and said that he (Roberts) might
do for a preliminary match, thereby
getting chance ut one of the top
notchers later. From the appearance
of Roberts. however, he looks as II he
could go against the best of them
right now He is in the best OF con.
dition and has been for some time. If
he has skill and inside knowledge OF
the game in proportion to his apparent
strength. he should be man worth
backing to the limit

TRACK MEET OFF

There is Il strong possibility that
the track meet between the High
School and Oahu College will not
take place on Saturday, as 1t was
scheduled, and it may be tnat the
two schools will not come together
at all. 1t seems that the Oahu ath-
letes want the meet on the Punahou
grounds, while the High School con-
tingent demand the Boys Field.
From all accounts, there is pretty
squabblt going on at the present time
over the matter and the chances are
against holding the meet Saturday.

LONDON. Nov. 21.-Reports are cur-
rent in governmental circles that vio-
lent demonstrations marked the exc
cution of Satyendros, the native An
archist in Calcutta today and that only
by a show of force was an outbreak
avoided.
II is declared that the foreign Office
is in receipt of a confidential report
that thousands of men and women
congregated about the gaol and endeav-
.ored TO break into it and rescue the
murderer. When they were repulsed
they started a procession through the
streets. carrying banners, glorifying
Satyendros and his acts and charac-
terizing him as a martyr.
The strong forces Of police and troops
that had been held in reserve were
called out and finally broke up the pro-
cession with the greatest difficulty
The foreign Office positively declines
to make any statement as to the execu-
tion other than that II was conducted
without disturbance"

CALCUTTA. Nov 21.-Only the
knowledge that the declaration of mar
tial law throughout India would create
an uproar in England. prevents Viceroy
Lord Minto to-day from taking this
radical step TO put down the Indian
agitation and sedition.
Lord Mimic received reports to-day
from officials all over the country that
show the situation 10 be steadily grow
ing worse, yet he is holding back in
the hope that some other course be-
sides martial law will be found effect
i've.
Mimic has promised the free use of
troops in suppressing riots. but his ad-
visors say this measure alone IS wholly
inadequate. They say one of the inn
perative needs is a change in the law
that viii permit the summary shooting
Of all those found guilty of fomenting
agitation and insurrection.
All the thousands of malcontents
that now swarm through India are
fully armed. II is impossible to rely on
more than sixty per cent. of the native
troops. owing to the disaffection that
has reached their ranks.

With Corporations

CINCINNATI. Nov. 2I.-Au doubt
that Charles p. Taft. brother Of tho
President-elect, VIII be an active aspi-
rant for Senator Joseph b. Foraker's
toga when the ohio Legislature meets
In January, was dispelled to-day.
Brother Charles win no longer be ac-
tive In corporation circles. So anxious
Is he that the cry OF corporation domi-
nation shall not be raised In connec-
tion with the constimmation of his am
billion that his friends assert he will
withdraw from active participation In
the affairs OF every company in which
the Taft and Sinton millions are in
vested.
He has already resigned as president
Of the Cincinnati Gas and Electric
Company, and as a director in the Gin
clnnati Traction Company It is point
ed out, however. that his financial con-
ncction with a number Of corporations
Is so great that IT viii require probably
up 10 the new year for him to "get
out"
The announcement, however. Of this
move on the part Of the Cincinnati mill
lionaire has discouraged a number Of
those who are anxious 60 wear the
Foraker toga With tho influence Of

That He Will Seek a

ment followed an invitation by the con-
gregation 20 return to the pastorate for

with the church for three years and
thought Il wise to change on that ac-
count Following the announcement. the
appointment Of committee on pastoral

quainted with the strenuosity with which
he has conducted the affairs Of Wesley
Church Mr.. Dawson last night indi-
Gated that his desire lor a change was
as much for rest as It was to observe
the time limit which many Methodist
pastors have fixed for themselves Mr..
Dawson's success as pastor of Wesley
was indicated in the splendid financial
condition I'm which the Rev. Dr. A. S.
Mowbray. district superintendent. found
the church. This condition was brought
about by Mr.. Dawson chiefly through
his success in lifting a heavy debt on
the church early last year. A number
churches outside OF this district sought
Mr. Dawson last year and it is probable
that he will leave the city. I'm order Ia
obtain the rest needed after his absorb
ing work at Wesley. His departure
would cause regret among the Methodists
OF the city. Last year he was secretary
of the NJ f. Preachers Association. and
has taken very active part in all its
meetings.
Mr.. Dawson came to Wesley from Mt
Lebanon Church. at Rockland three
years ago He IS a graduate OF Drew
