Abo Attell, who suffered another
injury to his left shoulder in his
bout with Frankic 'Burns in New
York recently, has been ordered by
his physicians not to fight for at
least six months, and probably not
for a year. There is a 'possibility
ythat the. arm is so badly injured
that Attcll will never be able to re
turn to the ring. Tho enforced
retirement for a year means a loss
of from 30,000 to $50,000 to the
fighter, who had mapped out a busy
campaign. One of his first matches
' w'as to have been with "Knockout"
Brown, whom Manager Danny Mor
gan promised to send against the
little champion as soon as Brown's
ear was again in shape. Attell
t rested more than two months after
the arm was first injured in his
bout with Kilbane at Cleveland, but
' the rest was not long enough.
James E. Sullivan, secretary of
the Amateur athletic union, has re
ceived official news from the Pacific
association that Edward Horino of
Leland Stanford Jr. university won
first place in tho high jump in the
dual meet between Stanford and Los
Angeles with a leap of 6 feet 4
inches. Horihe's 0 foot 4 inches
makes him, the third man to clear
such a height in this country, tho
former records being when W. B
Pago of tho Manhattan athletic club
made a similar record, and Mike
Sweeney's world's record jump of 6
feet 5 2-5 inches.
In an effort to protect himself

covers accidents, illnes3 and death

Recovering
After Being Striken With Apoplexy He
Rallies Quickly.
Wailuku was thrown into some
excitement Tuesday afternoon when
a hurry call was sent for a doctor
from the district court. Citizens
hurried from all directions, and deep
concern was written on every face
when it was learned that Judge
Kepoikai had been stricken down
with apoplexy, while arguing a case
before Judge. McKay. The judge
had appeared to bo in his usual
good health. Ho had just finished
addressing the court, and turned
toward tho door, when he collapsed
and fell in his tracks without utter
ing a sound. Drs. Osmers and Wed-
lick both hurried to tho side of the
stricken man and together with
other willing hands worked heroi
cally over tho judge for some time
Ho was carried to his home, where
ho rallied quickly, and in a remark
ably short time had regained con-
sciousness.
l no judge wa3 on ins ieet again
the next day, and his many friends
will be glaoj to learn that the .doctors
pronounce him out of danger from
any immediate recurrence ot- the
trouble Ho will be confined to tho
house for some time, and his hearty
laugh and cheering word will be
missed from the streets.
for tho middleweight title and
side bet of 82,500. As evidence of
good faith Smith posted $500 or
100 in English sovereigns with a
Sydney sporting paper. Papko,
who had evidently been watching
for just such a chance, promptly
covered tho forfeit, and then Smith's
manager remarked, Everything is
in good shape, but you understand',
of course, that the weighing is to be
donoat the ringside.'.'
Papko immediately objected, and
was strongly backed up by tho
managers of tho Stadium, where
the contest was to bo held. As
matter of fact, Stadium folks took a
firm stand and said that under no
consideration would they handle a
championship match in which ring,
side weighing was one of the condi
tions.
I can make tho weight at tho
ringside if given tho necessary time,"
explained Papko. As it is, I must
fight at short notice in order to ad
here to the plans I have made for
leaving Australia and I will not
take any chances of rendering my
sen -weak. What is moro, it wo
como to terms about tho .veight,
will insist upon Smith wearing an
abdominal shield. I am satisfied I
did not Btrike him a , foul blow in
our last fight, and I do not want to
run tho risk of being disqualified
again."
while tno weight matter was
still in abeyance it was learned that
Smith had demanded an exorbitant'
share of the gate money. He asketl
GO per cent of tho gross takings, ant
tho Stadium managers immediately
decided that it wuiild bo better to
abandon tho match than to handle
it on tho financial basis proposed by
Smith.
Smith camo in for sharp criticism
at tho hands of tho Sydnoy critics
and began to draw in his horns
Ho finally suggested that the weight
miuuiii uu uiuven mono eleven
ringside," or 1G5 pounds. As it
was felt that loth men could make
this without tho, least trouble, the
btadium people agreed, to havo it
that way, and thatswas tho weight
at which they fought. Regarding
tho contest tho only nows to hand
is that Papko won by a knockout in
the seventh round.

Newsletter
Racy Paragraphs From the Capitol On
Current Topics.
(By Oscar Brcnton.)
It is evident that blackbirding by
Recruiter Craig and assistants on
behalf of the Alaska Caniiers Asso
ciation was as premeditated as a
small boy's onslaught on the jam
pot. Witness his visit to the isl
ands, securing office room in the
malodorous Magoon block and en
gaging tho services of a cotorie of
English Bpeaking Filipinos and
Porto Ricans and turning thciri
loose. That the campaign was
worked out after tho association had
been fully advised of tho conditions
and probable success of the enter
prise is tho opinion of the men who
know tho company sending down
the expedition.
It will be remembered that when
advices were received of the depart
ure of tho Senator on a secret mis-
sion a mission which seemed to
have but one purpose, in the minds
.of thoso interested in labor in Ha
waii, Craig was questioned and do-
nicd all knowledge of the steamer.
Subsequent events proved him an
adept at juggling. She was hero
and' tho captain, crow and cabin
passengers had the time of their
lives. An exporienco equalled only
to that of a blockade runner. So
far the recruiters have not been en
tirely checkmated but Captain Mill
or,' who is, in a measure, in the
employ of the cannery bunch, is
having all that is coming to him
Having been' arrested, threatened
and hold m jail awaiting hail, one
would suppose that his punishment
fitted the crime, but today he. was
startled by having papers served on
him attaching tho little steamer
James Makee and his other vessels,
for a debt duo H. llackfeld & Co.
So tho boats are tied up and is, to
all intents and purposes, out of tho
gamo. At least this is the situation
that exists and will exist until he
pungles the amount of the judgment
At intervals a launch would shoot
out from a hidden place along the
docks and a dozen or so misguided
aliens are put aboard tho steamer
which plies off and on three miles
from shore. High Sheriff Henry
Saturday attempted to servo papers
on the captain in an effort to get a
minor from tho vessel. .When he
reached the side and told who ho
was there seemed to bo nothing
doing. Ho was defied' and .he re
turned. These men. having no res
pect for tho Territorial laws, may bo
proceeded against by the federal
authorities, 'in which case U. S. Dis
trict Attorney Breckons will bo
placed in a rather awkward position.
Having been retained as assistant
counsel by the Canneries Associa
tion ho will bo expected to defend
any one of tho members who should
bo haled into court. But as United
States District Attorney, ho may be
expected to draw tho indictment by
which his client would bo prose
cuted. To tho average man this
would bo a job of monumental pro
portions. But to Breckons there
is nothing too largo. ;

Dread
Camorra
Their Workings Vividly Described in
Weird Narrative.
With tho newspapers daily con
taining press dispatches from Italy
regarding the trial of the 30 camiir
rists for murdoi , public interest has
been stimulated in the Neapolitan
organization of international noto
riety. Tho-- camorra has become a
common word, but few havo an in
sight into tho extent of tho organiza
tion which has .exercised a criminal
control that was absolute over cer
tain parts of Italy.. It is known that
tho camorra is a secret organization,
it is known that many crimes beside
the murder of Cuocoilo and his wife,
for which the 36 arc now on trial.
have been charged against tho ex
tensivo organization; but it is seldom
that an intimate picture of the in
ternal workings of tho organization
is given. Naturally those who be
long to tho camorra will not reveal
its secrets and its proceedings .with
any detail, and it is difficult for
others to pierce tho mystery of tho
society's retreat.
Charles Grant, an English stu
dent, was ono man who did learn
of tho" secrets of the camdrra. and
in a book of talcs on Italian life,
entitled "Stories of Naples and tho
Camorra," published by MacMillan
& Co., London, 1897, he gave most
iricisiyo pictures of tho camorra.
These stories do not seek to trace
the history of the organization, or
its hierarchy so much as to present
vivid details of tho camorrists and
of the operations of tho members.
Tho cruel cunning, the desperate
knavery, the insidious criminality
of the camorrists aro presented in a
glaring light, but simply unadorned
with useless rhetoric as a pitiless
analysis.
In particular the book contains a
description of the initiation of ono
of tho characters into "the order.
This camorrist is. Domehico, tho,
illegitimate son of II Turco, a leader
of tho camorra, and an inn keeper's
wifo. On the death of tho boy's
mother and younger half sister, ho .
leaves tho inn and follows the cam
orrist. Ho first enters tho lowest ,
grade of the order and becamo a
Giovane Onorato. Ho had to attend
II Turco as a servant, to servo him
as a spy. Later ho was give moro
advanced work. . Of this the writer
says:
"At first tho tasks he (II Turco)
proposed were comparatively easy.
'Listen to what thoso people aro
saying,' or 'see where they aro going
to,' but in a week or two it was,
You sec that man? Find out every
thing about him before wo meet
again.' 'A family that I am inter
ested in lives in tho back rooms of
tho fourth story of that house; let
mo know . by Saturday how much
thoy cani and what they spend.'
Later on he would givo tho youth a
detailed description of some person
who was to be found in such or such
a quarter of tho city, and bid him
find out where ho lived, or som'o
other trifling circumstance altout

urn.
Tho lad was put to work spying
on tho polico. Ho was apprenticed
to a locksmith that ho might mako '
a better burglar when that trade was
required of him. . He was forced to
reduce his weight so that ho could
crawl through a designated window,
and wiien, by a system of sovero
exercise, ho could accomplish that
feat, ho was sent into a houso to get
keys. At last ho was ready to outer
