CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Sept. %
That Virginia will be represented this
season by as capable an eleven as has
been seen on Lambeth Field in a num-
Der or years, Is the opinion of those
who have seen the workouts for the
past week. No statements have been
issued to the effect, but the coaching
boards feels that the men under their
Charge Will be able to maintain Vlr-
gtnia's record.
Great pains are being taken to thor
oughlv develop the material on hand.
and no man Is being overlooked or al
lowed to get by without being given
every opportunity to develop. The
coaching stan now consists of Head
Coach Speed Elliott. Yum" Well

Randolph, and Johnny Neff, head coach

In addition to these. Or. Lambeth and
Pop Lanigan are giving the men their
UNDIVIDED attention in preparation for
the games during the season. 1t is fully
expected that the coaching stan will
be augmented as the big games draw
near.
Head Coach Elliott is far from opti-
mistic over the showing so far. At the

First Scrimmage Work of
Season Held at
Hilltop.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Dave White, GeorGetown's big full
back, who was injured yesterday while
practicing on the tackling dummy at
Georgetown Field, is expected to return
to the game in about three weeks
White came out of the gymnasium late
yesterday and joined the SQUAD at the
dummy Without warming up in the
slightest, the big fellow dove at his
mark and rolled over on the ground.
he was rushed to Georgetown Hos
pital by Dr. II. Watson Moffitt. who
happened to be among the spectators
1t was learned that White had sustained
slight fracture of the shoulder bone.
The fact that White Is in excellent
physical condition will aid him mate
rally in getting over the injury. and he
is expected to be out with the team in
side of three weeks
The coaches sprang the biggest sort
of surprise on the squad yesterday 1t
had been announced that no scrimmagqe
work would be held until Tuesday, but
the men were asked to put on their
heavy jerseys and paids. and. after a
short workout on the taCkling dummy,
two lines were stacked up against each
other for the first rough work of the
season.
Considerable attention was paid to
Tormey and Dimmick. the two new men
filled in at tackles. Bud" Wymard, at
center. was put through a course of
sprouts and showed up we'll. For
more than half an hour the two lines
were put hard a it, and were shown
how to block and check each other. how
to make quick openings. and ali the
little rudiments of line playing.

including Inter-Island rates. are All
right except that perhaps in one or
two cases the landing charges are
excessive.
In answer TO Mr.. Fishers question,
Gov. Frear said it is a question
whether the harbor commission has
authority to regulate rates at private
" owned wharves where the general
public is served.
Mr.. Starrett thought that if the
Government would help small grow
ers in the matter of water the diver
sified farming could be made profit
able in the Territory.
He was then excused, and the Gov
ernor asked if he had any statement
to make that he had overlooked. He
recalled none. and Attorney Ashford
asked him regarding the license for
water held by the Laupahoehoe Plan
tation.

He outlined a system of somewhat
the same character that he thought

Asked what he thought of the ap-

commission, Mr.. Thurston said he
thought that If it were. to be chosen
by appointment by the Governor and
approval of the Senate, he would say
il would be a good thing, but if the
members were to be elected II would
prove disastrous to the country.
He told of the formation Of the co,
partnership idea on Maui, resulting IN
the passage of the law and the ap-5
pearance then of the Maui Agricul-
tural Company. He stated, in de-
Tense of the statute, that the com.

Attorney Hemenway, called upon,
then explained the details of how the
statute was drafted, and indicated
that ii was done especially for the
benefit of the two companies com.
lined in the Maui Agricultural Com
pany.
Mr.. Thurston made a statement of
the circumstances surrounding the
0laa Plantation, which has been &C
cused OF reducing its payments to
planters for small crops, of S5 per
cent, from the rates paid in former
years.
He said that when she first went
into the sugar planting business he
was enthusiastic over the small
bomesteader. and having charge of
the contracts, gave the small plant
ers far better terms than any of the
other Plantations would do. Eventu-
ally he had about 400 such contracts
out, and some three or four years ago
discovered to his chagrin, that only
one white planter actually remained
on the land, the others applying alb.
sentee landlordism, leasing to for
eigners. Homestead conditions were
not improved. he found, and the plan.
tatiOn found itself under bonded
debt of S500,000. A large number of
these homesteaders were finally
bought in by the 0laa Plantation,

the application of the railroad com.
pany was granted, but a reservation
was placed in the grant that so lon
as the U. 8. Government desired to
continue the use of the postoffice site,
they should have the use of it; and II
the railroad company at any time
contemplated the erection of a per.
manent building. and should erect
such permanent building, il should
be made to provide for the postoffice,
giving the same amount of room as
it now occupied. This is on the face
of the grant Those were the condi.
tions incident to the Waianuenue
Street Lot which have mentioned
here. although not connected with
the line A.
Up to this time there had been no
suggested plan of the extension of the
railroad to Kuhio Bay or vicinity, al
though it was known that in view OF
the breakwatef appropriation, sooner
or later something would have to be
done at that end of the line. Here a
couple of years ago the railroad cora-
oany applied TO the government for
permission, under its general fran
chise, to build a wharf at Kuhio bay.
There was a great deal of public dis
cdssion, and public meetings were
held here and at Hifo, in connection
with the type of wharf to be buiit, To-
cation of wharf, and other phases Of
the question.
Fisher: Including the question of
their exclusive rights in any ouch
wharf?
Thurston: No; that was later. FL
nally the franchise was granted to
the Hilo Railroad Company. two years
ago to build wharf, and they PIE
pared elaborate plans, spending year
in getting soundings, borings, ETC., and
were prepared to go ahead and build
the wharf. In the grant, however,
Governor Frear inserted q provision
that at any time the Legislature APP
propriated money to build a wharf at
Kuhio Bay, and the railroad had not
at that time built the wharf, the gov
eminent could take away the fran
chise and build a wharf itself; or ii
the wharf we're built, they could take
oyer the wharf on paying its value to
the Hilo Railroad Company, the value
to be arrived at in some stated way
The last Legislature, as matter of
fact, appropriated 100000 with which
to build that wharf; and Immediately,
through the proper channels, demand
was made upon the railroad company
