GETS LIMIT OF THE LAW
GEORGE HoUGHTAILING FINED
$500.
Court Hard on the Sunday Refresh
ment Man-Matter Will Go Now to
the Supreme Court.

George Houghtailing was fined $500
in the Circuit Court for selling liquor
without license. Barring costs, this is
the limit of the law.
Defendant was convicted by q native
jury late Monday. This morning Dep
uty Attorney General Dole made a few
remarks, calling attention to the num-
ber of times Houghtailing had been
accused, and the difficulty of securing a
conviction, and moved that he be given
the limit of the law. The court prompt
ly imposed a fine of $500 and costs Of
court. Mr.. Dole moved an amendment
eliminating court costs, which was
granted.
Appeal will be taken to the supreme
court. In the police court Houghtailing
was found guilty and fined 800. He ap-
pealed in the hope of knocking out
the case, but got the worst of It.
At the time of trial in the police court
defendant was charged with perjury
This charge was this morning, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Dole, dismissed. The
Houghtailing case has created more
than ordinary interest in town. This
is about the twentieth time defendant
has been in court on the same charge
but the first he has been convicted.

RICE DEALT OUT BY THE UNITED
SOCIETY.
Nearly 1000 People Being Fed at Rooms,
On King Street-A Committeeman
Talks of Relief Work.

The big relief scheme OF the United
Chinese Society, formed quite sight
in front of the society's rooms on King
street beyond Nuuanu this morning.
Several hundred Chinese men and
women were gathered there to receive
their supply of rice. They carried paper
bags, issued by the committee for the
purpose. Each one also held a ticket
declaring the bearer to be entitled to
supplies.
Members of the committee of the Chi
nese society stood at the door. AS each
ticket was presented the name of the
holder was called out, recorded, and
about 9h pounds of rice for each per-
son represented by the ticket dumped
into the bag. A head of family could
draw for his wife and children, the
tickets providing for this.
These drawings of provisions will oc-
cur twice each week-on Mondays and
Thursdays. AT each of these drawings
rations for about four days will be is
sued 1t is in this way that the sub
scriptions of some days ago are being
used.
I'VE are now providing for every Chi
naman needing assistance, said a
member of the Chinese committee this
morning. THE government is supply
ing their lodgings at the various re-
lief camps, and we provide their food
from here. OF course we have had ap-
plications from persons not entitled to
assistance, but we know all the people,
and are only helping those actually in
| need of the same. There are nearly
| 1000 names on our list. They will be
assisted until they have lucrative en-
| ployment and are properly settled.
I'VE are much indebted to the white
| people of Honolulu for their assistance
Without their financial help our people
would have been thrown into great
straits. AS it is, we are able to provide
| fully for them. 1 do not think there
can possibly be any actual suffering
in the Chinese colony from now on. We
have enough money to run for a long
time, and by the time it is exhausted
think all of the needy will be in busi-
! ness, and in good shape again.

WHARvES ALL READY NEXT
WEEK.
Quarantine Wharf Will Have a Vessel
at Work On Monday-Rules At the
Two Island Wharves.

The new freight receiving and ship
ping system for quarantine times will
be in operation along the water front
next week. The fences at Kinau and
the Inter-Island wharves are nearly
completed, and the cleaning of the
wharves began today. The wharves
are being well swept and then washed
with water.
At the Island wharves there is to be
no absolute quarantine as at the other.
1t is proposed by Captain Campbell,
who has charge of the waterfront end
Of the Board of Health business, to
have small dressing room on each of
the enclosed wharves, and compel the
workmen to change their clothes when
they go in to work. resuming their
home apparel when they leave. No
outsiders will be permitted to go on
the wharves. The receiving of freight
will be in accordance with the plan
outlined by the committee, which rec
commended the building of the fences.
At quarantine wharf a period of iso-
lation will expire next Monday and
on that day a deep Eater vessel will
be allowed to go to the wharf and
discharge. The entire wharf will not be
finished, so that only one vessel can
go at once, but there will soon be
enough merchandise there to furnish
plenty for island shipment. With this
wharf in use and the other island
wharves sending fumigated stuff there
will be an end to Honolulu's inability
to send freight to the other islands.
The new quarantine wharf Is the bes
| dock in Honolulu. 1t is made accord
| ing to plans that had been prepared
! for a new Pacific Mail wharf. The
warehouse is 400 feet long by 80 feet
wide, and the rest of the wharf is the
same length and 40 feet wide 1t is
more strongly built than the other
wharves.

no VOTE on MORTGAGE.

Stockholders of the American Sugar
Company will hold a meeting next
Wednesday to vote on the proposal to
mortgage the property of the concern
to c. Brewer & Company for $425, 900.
This proposal was made at a meeting
held two weeks ago when the failure
of the original plans for water supply
to come up to expectations was an
nounced. At that time authorization
for an additional issue of 100000 OF
stock was reseinded, and the proposal
made to mortgage the property to Sc
cure funds for the necessary explora-
tions and construction of new system
of water supply.

Herman Levy clerk at the Hawaiian
hotel, has suffered relapse and is not
nearly so we'll today as he was yester-
day At noon pulse and temperature
were higher. The physicians at the
plague hospital do not anticipate any
immediate danger, however. This re-
lapse is what has been feared since last
Sunday. DR.. Hoffman has not reported
positively on the identity of his ailment,
though it is expected that the trouble
will turn out to be plain pneumonia.
Call doctors of the Board Of Health
have had another easy day.
This morning the executive officer of
the Health Board received an earnest
note from a Portuguese resident. 1t ran
as follows:
His Honorable Board of Health:

vestigate this matter and proceed to his
right because this is a question of great
importance.
A call doctor was sent out immedi-
ately to see what the trouble was. He
returned an hour later and made this
report in pencil on the back of the let

STEAMER LEHUA GOES
ASHORE.
Struck Bottom Last Night on Oahu
Coast Near Kahaluu and Got Free
Again This Morning.

The steamer Lehua, Captain Dover.
went ashore last night on the Oahu
Eoolau coast, somewhere near Kaha-
luu. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the
Wilder Steamship Company received
through Hyman Brothers the welcome
news that she was off the reef again
and ready for business.
The Lehua started from here last
night to get sugar from the plantation
at Kahaluu. No particulars have been
received as to how the accident hap
pened, but it is supposed to have been
due to the darkness. First mate Ben
net, formerly of the ]. A. Cummins
went with Captain Dover as pilot and
as he is thoroughly familiar with the
coast, his presence on board made the
steamship company feel sure that the
vessel was not in a very dangerous
Llace. 1t is supposed that she struck
bottom somewhere in the lagoon near
the rice plantation.
If the Lehua was in the lagoon, where
she is supposed to have been, she was
in a place where it would have been
very difficult to send any assistance.
The J. A. Cummins is probably the only
steamer here that could have done any
thing for her. 1t is supposed that the
Lehua went ashore during low tide
and this fact enabled her to get off to-
day when the tide rose.
| The coast of Oahu where the Lehua
went is known to be a very dangerous
coast. The steamer was on the way
| to Punaluu, which is one of hardest
! places to enter on any of the islands
The lagoon, where she is thought tc
have gone ashore, is full of coral reefs
| spots, which would have prevented any
| good-sized steamer from going to the
| rescue. The Lehua is quite a long
steamer and not at all easy to handle
when she is empty, and this may aC-
count for her striking bottom.
The steamer Iva was lost seven OF
eight months ago near where the Le-
bua got into trouble. She got afire or
her way round the island and her mas.
ter attempted to beach her, goine
aground however, before he could get
to a safe place. The captain and crew
were barely able to get away from the
vessel in time.
The news of the Lehua's peril wa,
4 ttelephoned this morning to Macfar
lane & Company, who at once commun
icated it to the Wilder Steamship Com
pany. The company was preparing t.
send a steamer. to the assistance o
the I.ehua and the j. A. Cummins ha;
already started round the island, whel
the news was received that the endan
gered vessel had got off without assist
ance. It is not the first time the Lehui
has heen on the reef, and she can stant
more such experiences yet.

COOPER WANTS MONEY.

Attorney-General Cooper will put In
an appropriation bill to go in the Cab
inet's estimate to the Council of State.
AT first he said he would not, but 1t
appears that he was laboring under q
misapprehension
''I thought the Ministers were going
to ask for what they required at the
present time" explained the Attorney
General; "and as could get along very
well for short while said I would not
need anything. But I see they are
making up regular estimates for the
period and, of course, must put in
for something. My department, and
the Board of Health, will need money
in a few months in the worst way. II
now seems to be the impression that
we will not have a Legislature before
next winter"

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
a bottle open all the time and when
ever any of my family or myself begin
to catch cold we begin to use the Cough
Remedy, and as a result we never have
to send away for a doctor and incur a
large doctor bill, for Chamberlain
Cough Remedy never fails to cure. 1t

ROAD JURY EXAMINES AND
RECOMMENDS IT.
Will be Fifty Foot Street Running
Through to Fort Just Makai of the
Love Building.

Pauahi street is to be extended. At
least the jury appointed to consider the
question is unanimously in favor o.
it and will so report to the Minister of
Interior.
The committee consisting of T. F.
Lansing, e. F. Bishop, F. w. McChes-
ney, Fred. Harrison and T. J. King
met at the Marshars office at 10 o'clock
this morning and then went to the site
of the proposed extension. The plan
Tor the extension ais prepared by the
Interior Department is shown on q
map which the jury had. 1t contem-
plates an extension of Pauahi street
fifty feet wide from Nuuanu to Fort
street. Fifty feet is the width Of the
present Pauahi street. The proposed
extension reaches Fort street just ma
l5ai of the Love Building. 1t goes
through Fowler's Yard taking all the
buildings on the mauka end of that
property and about twelve or thirteen
feet off the makai end of the adjoining
property, part of which is occupied by
the buildings of Mills Institute, and
part of which is owned by the Catholic
Bishop. 1t takes about forty feet of
the upper part of the Club stables
property.
Nearly all the owners of property
affected by the proposed extension were
on hand to voice their views of the
jury. After considering the whole sub
ject the jury came to the unanimous
conclusion to recommend the extension
on the Interior Departments map
These conclusions will be embodied in
q areport to be signed by all the mem
bers of the jury and delivered to the
Marshal to be forwarded to the Minis
ter of the Interior.
This action of the jury Is one of tho
first fruits of the Chinatown fire.

MuRRAY's PREDICAMENT.
Agreement to Build on Lot to Become
Part of a Street.

ITO build or not to build" is what
Shakespeare might have said in Hamlet
and applied it to Captain T. b. Murray
at this moment.
Captain Murrays lease of the shop
premises on King street prescribes
that this year there shall be erected a
brick building on the lot. He was pre-
pairing to comply with the terms when
the Board of Health mapped out an
extension of Smith street to the water
front which would take in all of the
Murray lot.
Murray is therefore between some
thing and the deep sea. If he does not
luild and the street is not extended he
will close his lease. If he does build
and the street is extended he will prob
ably lose heavily. What he require IS
is a positive statement from the Gov
ernment as to whether or not the street
will be extended.
