Friend, which were recently republish.
ed In The Star have brought forth
correspondence between Theodore
Richards, the Friend writer, and
Kuhlo, through L. A. Thurston, In
which Kuhio explains his attitude re.
garding the recent plebiscite His
letter Is az follows:
Honolulu, October IL, 1910.
Mr. Lorrin A. Thurston
Dear Sir: i hereby acknowledge the
receipt of your communication Of even
date herewith, enclosing copy Of open
letter from Theodore Richards to
yourself and suggesting that / reply
thereto
My first impulse after reading Mr..
Richards letter, as well as his editc-
rial in the Friend, was to treat it with
the silent contempt which it deserves;
for if my character is not well enough
established in this community for the
voters to know that neither liquor
dealers nor missionaries can bulldoze
or buy me, my assertions or lenia's
will do no good
As you suggest, however, there may
be some, who are not. acquainted with
me, who are under misrepresentation
as to the facts concerning my relation
to the prohibition question, and |
therefore reply to Mr.. Richards ques-
tons as follows:
First was avowedly for prohibit
ton in the hearing before the congress
sional committee, but urged that the
subject be referred to the people of
Hawaii for them to decide themselves.
l will say further that | have not
since changed my mind on either point
and have made no concealment of
either fact
Second did accept by cable place
on the peoples prohibition campaign
committee. l will say further that l
was glad to do so, believing that the
cause was a good one, and l was in
| cal ntoL anu HtllGNtu Jll1J MI. WOOllSy
Mr.. Richards and other prohibition
| leaders were also in earnest. If | had
known that they were going to let the
campaign go practically by default, as
they did, I should not have gone on
the committee with them.
Third made no promise that |
was going to stump the islands for pro-
hibition." After the law providing for
the plebiscite was passed. had talk
with Mr.. Woolley about what was to
be done. He said he was coming back
to Hawaii to work for prohibition
Knowing the strong objection which
Hawaiians have against malihims try
ing to direct them what to do, I told
him | thought it would be a mistake;
that l would go home as soon as con
! gress adjourned and lead the fight for
prohibition myself. He thought he
knew best and came himself feared
the consequences then, but still in
tended to come home as soon as
could and help l said | would speak
for prohibition, and l then intended to
do so, although l did not say l would
stump the islands"

my health" and inslnuates in the

KUHIO STATES HIS POSITION
IN PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN

Friend that was either bought on or
scared out by the liquor people As
q matter Of fact. no man has ever Of.
fered TO bribe me, either directly or
indirectly, to do or not to do anything,
and 1t will not be healthful for any
man ever to attempt Il.
As to being afraid Of the liquor
men and their vote, II never occurred
to me. / thought that It was my duty
to work for prohibition, and / did so
without any more thought of them, or
what they would do, than / had that
Mr.. Richards would make these unjust
accusations against me.
do not care to parade my personal
health before the public, but Mr.. Rich
ards compels me to do So ! will there
fore state that ! have not been in a
good state of health during the past
year On my way to congress ! con-
suited a specialist in San Francisco.
and he advised me to go to a sana-
forum rather than congress. / also
consulted another specialist i'm Balti-
more, and he told me the same thing.
As it was, | stayed in Washington I'M
til the Hawaiian business was COM
pleted. The doctor then advised me
to go to the hot springs for treat
ment. ! thought the trip on the yacht
Hawaii would do me as much good,
and accordingly came that way. Know
ing that was due to stump the islands
for the November elections, I made up
my mind before leaving Washington
that it was not wise for me to follow
up my first intention of stumping for
prohibition, and l therefore took my
time about getting home.
Fourth-As to the Hawaii getting in
"ahead Of expectations | would say
that | stood my watch along with the
fine fellows who volunteered to try
and win that race for the honor of
Hawaii, and with them did everything
| could to get the yacht in to Homo
luiu 90 Gully do pO0SlDlC' L WOulu
have been a tinhorn sport to have done
anything else, and l do not believe
. that even Mr.. Richards thinks me
that.
Fifth-As to stating how l was 60
ing to vote on the plebiscite, l told a
reporter of The Advertiser, in the
presence of a number of other persons,
before | came ashore from the Hawaii,
that / was going to- vote for prohibit
t on, and you, Mr.. Thurston, ANNOUNCE
ed what | had said at public meeting
held that night at Aala Park. What
is more, did vote for prohibition, and
have told every one so who chose to
ask me.
l beg to say further that if again
elected to congress l shall continue to
do my duty as | see it, without fear
or favor, and any one can find out,
either before or after election, what
my opinions are on any public ques-
ton by asking me.
l desire to say to my fellow citizens
that l have nothing to conceal and
nothing to apologize for concerning
anything which l did or failed to do
about prohibition.
l remain yours truly,

PINK BLOCK MEN AND WOMEN HOLD
 UP PEDESTRIAN
Four Blacks Pounce Upon Unsuspecting White and
 Rob Him

For the first time since the police raid upon the Pink Block, the ren- dezvous for blacks and white of un- savory regulations, white man was held up in Housatonic avenue last night by two negro couples and robbed of all he had, a solitary one dollar bill
 Saverio Casciello, agedG20, of 35 Co., lumbus place, is the victim. He was going home at 1O:30 last night, through Housatonic avenue when he encoun- tered the two negresses, just north of Congress street. One of them ap- preached him unexpectedly, embraced him and thrust her hand in his pock- et The amazed youth didn't realize the object of the attack until he felt the hand of the negress in his pocket.
 He darted away and found he had been relieved of the dollar. Then he made an outcry and saw a little way off, the two negroes. One of the men and the two women darted up a cross street to Main street, while the other continued northward through Housatonic avenue
 Casciello pursued the trio to Main street, and the man threw the dollar bill to the walk Satisfied with the restora tion of his money the victim gave up his chase, while the man and women continued down Main street and to the east through Golden Hill street.
 Patrolman Halpin and Ryan could find no trace of the four, but satis- fled themselves that the work was done by some of the habitues of the Pink Block.

Saving Apple Trees That Shaded Camp
 Of Putnam's Troops
(Specila to F,armer.)

N0PCSIld SO dI AICl.(
 Bedding. July 21-In the compre- hensive plan prepared last year by Landscape Architect George F. Parker for the care and develope- ment of Putnam Park was rec ommendation for the preservation of the old apple trees which were on the grounds when General Put nam and his brigade encamped there 132 years gao. These trees stilT' survive although hardly more than a shell of the trunks remain, and work for their preservation has recently been performed by the Munson- Whitaker Co., landscape foresters and entomologists of Bos- ton. To begin with the trees were carefully pruned according to their condition. Next all decayed wood, the result of the ravages of insects, mainly borers and ants, was re- moved and the inside thoroughly saturated with an antiseptic solu- tion intended to arrest further de- cay. The third step was the fill ing of the cavities with a half and half sand. and cement mixture carefully packed below the open ings and faced over. The idea in leaving the cavities free was that a new growth of wood would en- close the cement. The last step and not the least in the process was the application of a special fruit tree fertilizer. The ground is forked over for a space of some twenty feet around each tree and the fertilizer worked into the soil. This renovation work has already had a visibly improving influence on the aged trees which were otherwise doomed to destruc- tion within short time. Many future visitors to the park will doubtless note with interest how the trees get on after their fresh start in life.

The famous little schooner Polly, which made such record as a pri- vateer in the war of 1872, sailed into the local harbor this morning as proudly as she did in the days of yore when she escorted big English merchantmen into Boston harbor with a prize crew aboard.
 The Polly brings pine from a Mas sachusetts port for the Sewing Ma chine Cabinet Go. The Polly is as sound as nut, despite the fact that the government blue book says she was built in 1895.
 Her owners deny this and say she was constructed in 1894 and is there fore 106 years old.
 The Polly is built of solid New England oak and is undoubtedly the oldest merchant vessel in commission to say nothing of being the only ves-

COWLEs FAVORs NEW ALMSHOUSE FACING
 ON PALISADE AVE.

President John M. Griffin of the special committee to investigate the conditions at Lakeview Home said this morning that the committee was gathering data and would not have October. Alderman Griffin said that he has heard that the Union Metallic Cartridge Co. would like to buy the town farm, but that the company had not said so officially. Supt. Merle c. Cowles has recommended that a new almshouse be built, facing Palisade avenue. He said that he would be opposed to any proposition to part with any part of the farm. He would favor using the present almshouse as barn and for storage buildings.

THE THEATRES
POLES

It has oftt;i Deen advocated by both employers and employed that labor differences could be more amicably be- tween the two vitally interested parties than by the long and circuitous pro- cess or corpora tiOnS dealing with so called committees rather than with the Work1ngmen themselves. The history or the greatest strikes that this country has seen shows that the worhingman himself in the main was passive rather than aggressive and preferred to work rather than strike.
 All of this Charles Klein the great playwright must have had in mind when he wrote Daughters of Men the decidedly interesting play which the Poli Players are producing this week to large audiences at Polls Theatre.
 There are several splendidly drawn types and interest is sustained throughout the entire action of the play. First and foremost it must be said that Stage Director Eagle has given the splendid staging and a su- perb mounting then it must be ad- mitted that Mary Stockwell the new leading lady of the company has bounded into popular favor by sheer merit in an increditab1y short space of time and already has a following that would be the envy of any stock star in the country. In Daughters of Men she gives a superb presenta tion of the role of Grace Crosby, daughter of a capitalist. She has grace charm and personality most charming and she certainly Is a talented actress
 John Ince as Attorney Stodman gives a most artistic portrayal of the role giving to it all the depth and seriousness it requires and every oth- CT member of the company is superb notably MT. Buchanan always a thor oughly artistic actor and the new members O: the company Theodore Marston and Adolph Lestina. If the mission of any good play is to make people think after they have seen it and in the thinking to make them come to a better understanding of the handling of delicate problems then MT. Klein has accomplished much in the play Daughters of Men. It is decidedly we'll worth seeing. There are the usual special features between the acts including illustrated songs by Jack Allmann a superb contra tenor who is assisted by the Singing Ush- CTS.

 "If she does not agree to leave town today we will have to arrest her and she will be sent GO a sani- tarium."
 A severe blow was sustained by Hilda Johnson, another Norwegian girl, who under the negro's mystic spell surrendered herself in marriage to him as a sacrifice and an evidence of her humility, when she learned by letter of the death of her mother in Norway and at the negro hospital where she lies ill today the doctors said there was less hope for her re- covery than there was yesterday.
