TACK.
Public Meeting Called for Next Mon
day AfterROon-Salvati Army to
be Asked to Help.

The court decision preventing the de-
portation of Japanese procurers has not
by any means dampened the ardor of
Theodore Richards and others who are
working to improve the condition of
many unfortunate women whom the
recent proceedings were intended to as
sist. At meeting of the directors OF
the Rescue Home this morning it was
decided to call a public meeting for
next Monday afternoon, to discuss the
establishment of homes of refuge.
1t is proposed to make an alliance
with the Salvation Army, which is al
ways successful in such work and to
give the army the management of the
homes. Several localities are already
under discussion, some having been of
fered to the directors.
Theodore Richards stated that the
meeting on Monday would be for the
purpose of getting public support for
the movement. The meeting is to be
held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in
the parlors of the Central Union
church, and it is hoped by those inter-
ested that there will be people present
ready to do enough to enable the res
cueTs to go ahead with their plans.
There are two or three women for
whom we ought to have home at the
present moment" said Mr.. Richards

be more If we had a place for them.

carrying out of the plans that have
been made"

FOR COLLECIOR-GENERAL
FOUR CANDIDATES WHO ARE
TALKED OF.
May be Delayed Till
After United States Treasury Agents
Have Been Here and Reported.

For collector-general Of the port of
Honolulu: Charles Wilder. Frank b.
McStocker, T.. r. Stackable, William
Haywood. There is a chance for some
one to make pools on the coming pre-
sidential appointment to the position
of head of the customs bureau here.
The four named above are all being
talked of as likely appointments.
Since W.. o. Smith returned from
Washington with the opinion that
Stackable, the present incumbent, was
to be appointed, his stock has risen a
great deal. Stackable has held the
office for about six months A strong
petition signed by leading business men
here was sent to Washington, asking
for his appointment, and it is stated
that friends have spoken for him on
the spot.
Charles Wilder is Hawaiian Consul
at San Francisco. News has been re-
ceived here that he is making a very
active fight for the place. He is re-
garded as a strong candidate, having
many influential friends and being a
member, of one of the leading island
families.
Frank McStocker has been collector
before. He is now a plantation man
ager. His friends say that he is willing
to leave the plantation for the position
VI COll6ClOT anu lndl Ills TeCOTu IN I16
office is good enough to make his
chances well worth considering.
AS for Haywood, there is nothing to
! indicate that he is after the office, ex-
cept the rumors that We're in circula-
| tion Immediately after he went to
| Washington.
! 1t is the opinion of some people who
are in a position to know as much as
anyone that the collector will not be
named till treasury agents have been
! here. The agents will undoubtedly be
sent very soon from Washington, to
report upon the customs business, and
it is considered not unlikely that the
president will await their report before
filling the office.
The territorial bill contains a provis.
ion requiring that most appointees tC
office here must be residents of the ISL
ands, but the custom house jobs are no
included in this rule, so the man whC
will represent Uncle Sam in the collec
tion of duties and other water from
and harbor business may be a stranger
from the States.

THE STRANDED NORMA.

A report from Kauai states that the
adventures of the schooner Norma and
her crew on that Island were even more
exciting than in Honolulu, or on the
hilarious trip down. The Norma took
a lot of liquor in her hold, and this
served to keep up the fun until Waimea
was reached. At Waimea the crew went
ashore and began one of the greatest
luaus on record. They painted Waimea
a brilliant red, and the police of Kauai
were soon scurrying to and fro to keep
down the excitement. Meanwhile the
schooner lay at anchor. At last reports
the fun was still fast and furious, with
no prospects of a return to Honolulu
till liquor and funds gave out.

MURRAY CLUB.

Since the organization of the party on
regular lines the Murray Club has
rather fallen into obscurity. At least
it's usefulness suddenly departed and
it's members mixed in with the regular
organization. At the same time, how
ever, they held on to their original plans
in measure and have continued the
club, getting new members from time
to time.
The meeting called for last night was
a failure Attorney Berry had gone on
the Australia, and Mr. Murray did not
come in from his Punahou home. Tne
intention now is to await the results OF
Berrys conference with Mark Hanna.

KAPIoLANI ESTATE swoOPs ON
SOME.
Hawaii's Two Princes Claim That Sew
eral Articles Belonged to Their Uncle,
the Late King.

The Cabinet this morning considered
the claims of royalty and royal associa-
tion to certain of the curios advertised
to be sold at auction tomorrow. A letter
from John f. Colburn laid claim to
a number of articles in the interest of
the Kapiolani estate and of the
Hale Naua Society, both of which
the writer represented. Princes David
and Cupid claimed a number of arti-
cles as belonging to the estate of the
late King Kalakaua, and not to the
Government.
After consideration of the claim of the
princes the Cabinet decided to give
them the articles named therein, as fol-
lows: Koa sideboard, small revolving
bookrack, kahili stand, koa secretary,
inlaid table of Hawaiian woods, and
piano lamp with onyx stand.
No action was taken on the applica-
tion of the Hale Naua Society for GER
tain articles. This association, which
was known in the time of Kalakaua as
the ball of twine society,"" has ceased
to exist 1t was a secret affair with
social features. At one time 1t flour
ished, and was an important institution
close to the court. After Kalakaua' S
time it waned and finally succumbed to
ordinary circumstances. From all ac-
counts the society owned a considera-
BILE share of the paraphernalia to be
sold tomorrow, and It's members now
put in claim for it. The Cabinet took
no action this morning, and probably
will not, as it appears that the stuff
comes nearer belonging to the Govern
ment than to any one else
The junk in the lot to be sold would

ordered lumber from the Coast for it's
extensive building plans in connection
with the tract of land on South and

STANDARD OF PUNISHMENT.

The eight nolle prosequis entered in
the circuit court yesterday bore fruit
i'm the District Court this morning.
In an assault and battery case be-
fore Judge Wilcox this morning, he
said that if he found the defendants
guilty, the chances were that Deputy
Attorney General Dole would nolle pro-
sequi them in the circuit court. He
would therefore save the Deputy At
torney General the trouble and dis
charge the defendants himself.
1.-THE government has set its standard
in the circuit court" said the Judge,
"by letting a man sentenced to thirty
days in jail for carrying a razor and
brass knuckles Off with a five dollar
fine and costs waived. and letting off a
man fined 800 for violating Board of
Health regulations with a fine of 81.
Hereafter that shall be the standard
in this court, s. for carrying concealed
weapons and 81 for violating Board of
Health regulations"

SIRAIGHTLNET TOKAKAAKO

The road jury in the matter of the
widening and extension of kakaakO
street from Ala Moana to the line of
Halekauwila street, and of Halekauwila
street to meet the extended line of Ka-
kaako, met this morning and refused to
concur in the recommendations of the
Interior Department for the proposed
widening, and adopted two alternative
routes.
The object of the extension and wild
ening is to do away with the present
HaITow and tortuous course of Punch
bowl street from Halekauwila to Ka-
kaako The course recommended by the
Interior Department was the extension
Waikiki for a short distance of Hale
kauwila street and then cutting
through Waikiki of the iron works to
Kakaako The jury dssented from this
method of achieving the result alto
gether. and proposed route which Is
practically an extension of Punchbowl
street straight through to Kakaako.
This route cuts off corner of the Unit
ed States naval reservation. But it is
believed that an arrangement can be
entered into with the United States by
which an exchange of land can be made
so that this route can be followed, and
give a practically straight thoroughfare
| through.
But If this exchange cannot be eff
| fected the jury propose an alternative
route by which this proposed extension
| of Punchbowl street may be swerved a
| little Waikiki-ward, and so avoid cut
| ting into the naval reservation. This
| will make almost as straight street
| through, but will be more expensive, as
considerable private property will have
| to be condemned.
