LiliuokalanTs Musicians Number
ing A to Visit Topeka.
DRIVEN OUT OF THE ISLANDS.

Their zIana&er Getting the "Past Rec
Ords" OF Some OF the Leading Citi-
zens of HawnII-Dramat5c Nefes.
Topeka is promised something inter-
esting when the Royal Hawaiian band
comes here on November 20 to give a
concert at the Grand. The organization
is an extremely interesting one aside
from its playing, which is said to be ex
cellent.
The touring of the company is due to
the overthrow of the native Hawaiian
monarchy and the fierce political con
ficts attendant upon it. The band was a
government organization maintained by
Queen Liliuokalani and when the mon
archy fell it also succumbed.
The troupe is composed of forty -four
native Hawaiians, "kanakas." Four of
these are singers ana the other forty
compose the band. They are mostly old
men, msn who have played in the or
ganization all their lives and do not
know how to do anything else. When
the monarchy fell they were asked 10
take the oath of allegiance TO the new
government. Their leader did so and
tried to force his organization to follow
his example. They refused to a man.
They remained faithful to LiliuokAlani
and were discharged from the govern
ment service.
The band, with commendable perse-
verance, chose a new leader, J. S. Libor-
Mo, saxophone player, and gave big
concert in Honolulu. In a few days the
new government prohibited them from
giving any more concerts,
They determined on a tour of the
world as means Of maintaining the or
ganization. There was something more
in their determination than the mere
winning of bread for themselves They
wanted to show the world that the native
Hawaiian is an intelligent human being
and perfectly capable of casting his vote
If allowed to do so bv the law.
Mr.. Charles B. Whitehouse, advance
agent of the company, was in the city to-
day. He is an American who has spenf
several winters in Honolulu and was
there at the time of the overthrow

PULL DRINKING CLUB.
Chris Smiths Place is Shut Up by the Pa
lice.

1t doesn't pay to have fall out with
any body if you are doing any kind of
illegal business. Chris Smith was ar
rested on a warrant for selling liquor in
violation of law and the complaint was
sworn out by his son -in-law. He ran
what is known as "Chris Smiths club"
at 232 Kansas avenue, up stairs.
The complaint was the result of a
family row. Smith and his son-in- law
named Lewis had falling out and
Lewis "got even." or ahead, by swearing
out the complaint. This was done on
Monday, but the arrest was not made I'M
till II o'clock yesterday morning. No
search was made of the premises, the
city relying on the evidence of Lewis
and others for conviction. Lewis saws
ne has bought whisky there BY the drink.
This club has been running a long
time. It has a large membership, and
there seems to be no doubt that liquor
was sold there in one way and another.
Smith is large man with Il red face.
His home is on Topeka avenue near
Second street.
The trial will be had in police court
next Monday afternoon.

ON WITH THE BREDG 4.
Commissioners All Ready for the
Injunction,
WHICH SOHE OLD MOSSBECK FOSSIL

VIII Doubtless Bring (This is 4 Nee
DrOvemenD After That is Disposed
ofthe Bridge SyAII BE Pushed Along.
Now that the bridge proposition has
been carried, the bridge will probably be
commenced this year, if some old fossil
doesn't get out an Injunction. The
county commissioners must advertise for
bids for thirty days and the plans and
specifications must be on file for the same
period and then the contract will be let.
The plans will probably be filed when
the advertisement is made so that it will
necessitate a wait of but thirty days al
together.
The commissioners say that they will
probably be able to adv ertise for bids for
the construction of the bridge next week
and if they do, work may be commenced
sometime in December.
The first thing to be done will be to
make provisions for traffic while the
bridge is in process of construction, and
the board is still undecided about what
shall be done. The members are of the
opinion that the advertisement shall re-
ouire the contractor to include in his bid
the provision for arranging for crossing
the river while the new bridge Is being
erected.
There was some talk about using the
street car bridge and the board received
a proposition from the street railway
company looking to that end. The prop
osition was that the county make the
changes necessary and pay $4,000 for
the first six months and $1,000 per month
thereafter and to arrange the bridge SO
that it would not be necessary to check
the speed of the trolley cars, and also to
be responsible for any damages that
| might result.
The company however agreed to wave
| the rental if the county would erect a
steel bridge with uniform elevation OF
roadway and leave place in the middle
| for two tracks.
The proposition made by the company
will not be accepted and the old bridge
will be used. The commissioners are Of
the opinion that piles may be driven fol
piers and the old bridge moved east faI
enough to allow the construction of the
bridge. This is the plan that will prob
bly, be included in the advertisement fol
bids.
