Butter and Cream Received by Henry
May & Company Sent by the Depart
ment at Washington.

The first of series of experimental
shipments of butter and cream from the
United States by the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, was receiv-
ed by the Hongkong Maru, and is now
on sale both at the Bethel street retail
department and the Fort street de-
partment of Henry May q Company.
This shipment was made by the de-
partment in pursuance of its policy of
seeking to extend through practical ex-
periments, the market for the agricul-
tural products of the United States.
Similar shipments are being made to
points In China and Japan and to other
countries.
The butter is of the best quality put
up in hermetically sealed cans of one
and two pound sizes. The cream is fresh
cream for table use, put up in pint and
half pint cans In pursuing this policy
the Department of Agriculture through
the Dairy Division of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, selects the best but

object being to establish a reputation
and preference for the United States
product.
The shipments to Honolulu and to
China and Japan are the result of in
quiries made by DIR. S. A. Knapp on
behalf of the department while on an
extended tour through the Orient. He
passed through here on his return, de-

SERIOUS STREET RIOT

A serious clash between soldiers
brought out the police and resulted in
the biggest sort of a racket at the cor
ner of Fort and Hotel street about 80
this afternoon. Two men from the
transport Senator began fighting and
started the row. In a few minutes aft
er the beginning of the mill about fifty
soldiers and the police were into it.
- one man was arrested. His friends
offered To take him aboard ship and he
was turned over to them. In a minute
the fight started again and that time
became general. Four soldiers were
knocked senseless and had to be taken
into RSuson. Smith Il Company's drug
store TOR treatment. Another, who
seemed to be a ringleader, was arrested.
In the meanwhile the racket and the
crowd had worked itself down to Bethel
street When the final arrest was made
the trouble between the police and sol
diers began. About $50 of the latter
gathered and made demonstrations as
if they intended trying to rescue their
comrade. At the station house the re-
serve police force was turned out ana
met the crowd. In the meantime an
other soldier who had become too loud
was arrested and the two men were
landed in Jail. The police cleared out
the mob, and the trouble was over.
The police behaved with commendable
sell -CDllTlOl. lHey GeIIallltu from uSluS
their clubs though making clear their
determination to prevent any rescue of
their prisoners.
Among the crowd of citizens attracted
by the trouble We're many who were
ready to jump in and help the police,
should their aid be required.
Regret was expressed by many SOL
diers from the transport that the trou-
BILE should have occurred. 1t was attri-
buted to the unfortunate condition some
of the soldiers had got themselves into.
Methylated spirits of alcohol were
blamed for a good deal of the trouble.
There has been a great run on the drug
stores for bottles of this kind of spirits
The calls for it by the soldiers have re-
suited, 1t is said, in bigger sales than
We're ever made before. The drug
stores were at first in doubt whether
they had a right under the law to sell
| it, But an examination of the statute
! showed that they had.
As a result of the trouble, the mill
! tary authorities on the Senator sent out
the provost guard to call all soldiers
aboard ship.

HIS LICENSE WILL LIKELY BE
CANCELLED.
Board OF Health Finds Against Him
and Reports to the Interior Depart
ment-Practice with the Quaker.

The Board of Health has found occa-
sion to report unfavoraby on the pro-
fessional conduct OF DIR. w. S. Noblitt,
and the indications are that his license
will be cancelled by the Interior De-
partment.
DIR. Noblitt was tried by the board in
executive session yesterday afternoon.
Both sides were heard fully. The prin-
cipal witness for the prosecution was
Deputy Sheriff Faneuf of Eva. The
charges had reference to the BUSINESS
dealing of DIR. Noblitt with Quaker
quack, Ferdon, who was here some
months ago. Faneuf worked up such a
strong case at the time that Ferdon was
fined in the police court for practicing
medicine without license.
There has never been any question on
the part of the board as to DR.. Noblitt's
ability. During the examination yes
terday, i'm a professional cross fire be
tween Drs. Wood and Noblitt, the for
mer took occasion to explain that fully,
and emphasized that professional eti-
quette was the point.
DIR. Noblitt did not attempt an elab-
orate defense. On the other hand he
seemed rather Indifferent, or defiant, as
TO the decision of the board. At one
time he stated that IL the decision was
against him he would take the matter
into the courts for a review.
DIR. NObitt is young man with Off
ces in the Lincoln block. He is a native
of Indiana, graduated at Louisville and
came here about two years ago. Prior
to that he was Government physician
on one of the Indian reservations, and
his principal business here now is
manufacturing medicines of the Indian
| type.

JOE SILVA KILLS HIMSELF
A FAMILIAR STREET FIGURE
SUICIDES.
In Fit of Dependency This Morning
the Old Man Puts Pistol to His Mouth
and Pulls the Trigger.

Joseph Silva, an old man who has
been a familiar figure about the streets
for several years, shot himself early
this morning and Is dead.
A coroner's jury viewed the remains
at IL o'clock and will examine Witness
es this afternoon.
The weapon used was a 3s caliber
pistol. 1t was case of deliberate sui
eide. The cause was dependency, due
to illness and poverty.
Silva lived near Smiths bridge at st.
Louis College and kept a stand in Mau-
nakea street where he sold salt salmon
and such like. At home he had wife, a
native woman, old and blind. He him.
self was about so years of age.
OF late the suicide had not been well.
Business, too, was not as good as for
merly. This morning he sat in chair
at the door of his cottage, put the pis-
tol to this mouth and fired.
Natives of the neighborhood, hearing
the shot, went to the house. The man
was partly lying upon the chair and,
apparently, was quite dead. The smok-
ing revolver was lying upon the floor
near his feet. At the time the blind
She says an outcry followed the shot
and that she was greatly frightened.
The ball entered the mouth and pass
ed downward into the body. Indlca-
tions are that 1t struck the heart or
some other vital organ.
The suicide was known to some as
John Silva, though most of his acquain.

LIQUOR DAY IN CABINET
MORNING SPENT DISCUSSING
LICENSES
Another Saloon for Hilo-One Applica-
in North Kona and Koolaupoko.

This was n liquor license day i'm the
Cabinet. Any number of applications
were considered, but most were declin-
ed. The important one considered was
that of license TO j. G.. Serrao for a
saloon on Shipman street in Hilo. This
was granted. Another application from
ID. Lycurgus for IA saloon license for
his hotel on Waianuenue street was de-
Clined.
Chang Chuck was granted a light
wine and other / .er license for his dis
trict in North Roma,
Ulysses S. Jones was given the same
sort of license for Koolaupoko, this
island.
DIR. Miners application to exchange
land adjoining his residence, required
for street widening purposes, for prop
erty in Makiki, was declined. The. mat
ter will now probably so to the ap-
praisers.
Minister Damon read a report from
Collector Iyers of the condition of the
customs business at HilO, recommend
ing a number of changes by way of
improvement. The matter was deferred
but will be taken up later and care
fully considered.
A large number of other subjects
were discussed but no action upon them
was taken. Another meeting will be
held tomorrow. This will probably
finish up the large amount of bust
ness that accumulated during the alb
sence of President Dole on Kauai.

Mrs. Mclean is an old woman. The

tried to spring out of the way but could
not. Struck by the horse she fell fiat
and was run over by two wheels, front
and rear on one side, passing over her
legs just above the knees.
Several men ran Immediately to the
rescue. The Japanese who was driving
