for several days recently with a whole
sale liquor prosecution. The victims
are nineteen Japanese women accused
of selling wine. They are the fruits
of several plantations, viz: Waiakea,
Wainaku, Paukaa and Papaikou, and
are arrested on the information of four
well-recognized Japanese professional
gamblers, VINO have been loafing
around the neighborhood preying on
their countrymen for months past,
and have become eyesores to the citi-
Zens of the neighbOrhOod. That they
themselves are the ones that long ago
should have fallen under the Vigilant
care Of our excellent police and been
scooped into their net is what ought
to have been. 1t is not the case, how
ever. But after they hal their plans
laid they went among their victims
and demanded SIS from each, or pub
lie prosecution. A few, who had evil
IDENTIFY been in the business, gladly
| compromised, but the others refused,
and the result was this wholesale list
of cases. D. H. Hitchcock was en-
ployed to defend them, and on the
first case being called in court the
complaint was found to be general
one, no specific dates or times being
given, and it was promptly thrown
out of court. New warrants were i'm
| mediately issued covering dates dur
ing February, March and April, and
the cases proceeded with. Adjourn
ments have now been had on two
different days and the case is again
adjourned to the 18th inst. Here are
three days lost by the husbands of
these women, who, naturally, want to
be with their wives in their defense,
in addition to the expense of lawyer |
and the worry and vexation they ne |
cessarily endure, and all because these
notorious gamblers have been allowed |
to ply their business almost openly by |
the police. That they have been al
lowed to continue their course so long
has caused considerable comment, and |
it shows the laxity with which the
public veal is cared for. The police
are very diligent at times in arresting
for very trivial causes, but a real case
that is worthy of their attention is al
lowed to go unnoticed.
The closing exercises of the Hilo
boarding school were held at that in
stitution on Thursday and Friday of
last week; Thursday was occupied
with the examinations, and number
OF the citizens were present and inter-
ested themselves in the exercises. The

hard to obtain the results shown.

schools. Since the opening of these
schools, the Hilo boarding school has
)een in languishing condition. The
attendance at once dropped, and so
ar it has been only possible to get
