ProprietOrs of Fasht iona bic Res tauranta
Taken-SOme Are Enraged.

New York, March 14.-The police to-
night arrested the proprietors of several
fashionable restaurants, including the
proprietor of the Hotel Imperial, on the
charge Of having music in their res
taurants without concert hall license.
The police also visited such places as
the Hotel Majestic, the Marie Antoin-
nette, the st. Andrew in Central Park
West, and the Empire at Broadway and
SiXty-sixth street and ordered that the
music be stopped.
Some of those who came under the
severe hand of the police tonight were
enraged that they should be arrested in
the same class with the proprietors of
places of unsavory reputation. Man
ager Eugene S. Laurand of Sherry's
was compelled to send his musicians
home as he did not have a concert hall
license. The Waldorf-Astoria has a.
concert hall license, and the strains Of
music were heard in that vicinity
throughout the evening. The managers
of the Buckingham, the Savoy and the
Netherlands, all on Fifth avenue, also
received notice to stop their orchestra
until they secured concert hall licenses,
and they did SO.
This action was taken by the police
after a consultation between Inspector
Thompson and several captains at the
Tenderloin station. Detectives We're
sent out about o'clock. during the
busy hour at the restaurants. and they
brought back a number of. prisoners,
among whom were Morgan ]. Ross,
proprietor of the Hotel Imperial. and
his orchestra director, Edward Raper;

on West Thirty-fourth street and his
musician, Gustav Goldsmith; Angelo
Morello of Morello's on West Twenty

SHOT BY 4 DOCTOR.
A Chicago Woman's PIight-Said to be
mn Accident.


Chicago, March 14-The woman who
was taken to the county hospital
wounded in the right lung and who re-
fused to say anything except that she
was Mrs Brown of 604 North Homan
avenue, told the police to-day that she
was Mrs. Bertha Richter. She said that
she had been shot by DIR. Ostrowski of
279 South Halstead street, who accom-
panied her to the hospital, but she re-
fused to tell any of the detail. Last
night DR.. Ostrowski took the woman to
the hospital in carriage He said she
had called at his office and had COM
planned of feeling faint. On examina-
tion he found that he right lung had
been pierced by a bullet and on the
way to the hospital she became un-
conscious.
The doctor was arrested later at his
home. He at first denied having shot
the woman, but later admitted it,
claiming, however, that it was an ac-
cident. He was taken to the hospital
and Mrs. Richter was asked If he was
the man who shot her, but she refused
to say a word. A revolver with one
chamber discharged was found in the
Doctors apartments and he said it
was the weapon with which Mrs Rich
ter had been shot. The hands of the
woman We're powder burned, and this
causes the police to believe that the
shooting was the result of struggle
between the two. DR.. Ostrowski is an
Austria who has lived in Chicago but
a short time. The condition Of Mrs
Richter is critical She is the wife of
Paul Richter, an artist of this city.
She has not been living with her hus-
band He said to-day, when informed
that she had been shot, that he had
not heard of her in several months.

Chinese Consul or any other consul is
adding difficulties to the local situa-
ton he ought to be called to time but
such action is not now within the pow
er of local officials except through their

THE CITIZENS GUARD,

When Frank McStocker retired from
Government service, one of his many
legacies left to Honolulu was a magni-
ficently organized emergency force
known as the Citizens Guard. Had
Mcstocker been here Saturday he
would have been found an able leader
and furthermore a man of too much
good sense to have issued call for the
assembly of the Citizens Guard, except
In the manner which was followed by
Marshal Brown. The Citizens Guard
was on the ground Saturday and COM
posed the larger part of the axe handle
brigade which acted under the direc-
tion Of the Citizens Committee.
The Citizens Guard was organized
as a protection from general riot In
the city. As result, the points for as
sembling, when an emergency call is
sent out, are distributed about the
city from Palama to Waikiki. Had the
Marshal sent out the Citizens Guard

call. Or Wood for instance. would be
called upon To- report armed with a
rifle at the Masonic Temple corner.
Others would make tracks for Thomas
Square and still others up Nuuanu.
Had Marshal Brown sent out the Guard
call at 10 o'clock Saturday forenoon
Or. Wood naturally would not have
responded, nor would the majority of
those belonging to the Guard have re-
sponded. The larger portion of the
members were already on the ground in
Chinatown, either directing or follow
ing directions for such assistance as
the police and military required. Axe
handles were as effective weapons as
rifles, and the chances are that the alb
sense of trifles was a fortunate event of
the day
Had McStocker been here, the citi-
zens would have reported to him per-
sonally, as the leader. There is not a
man in town who could on short no.
tice assemble as many men to his sup
port. Citizens Guard or no Citizens
Guard, as Frank McStocker. He is a
natural leader and capable organizer.
Furthermore he would have too much
sense to go through the formality of
calling out the Guards and having
them report by companies when men,
bers were just where they were needed
and following the directions of the
Citizens Committee.
If Marshal Brown had followed the
Advertiser afterthought ideas, China
town on Saturday would have been the
scene of chaotic four ring circus with
everybody standing on official dignity
and the Asiatics scattering about the
town while the Citizens Guard and
Citizens Committee were seeking to
discover where they were at.

At last the pipes for the Wailuku

is true, but Mr. Rowell ought to be in
terested in making record before
turning over the Office to an American
superintendent.

Philippine Government
In MCKinley'S Hands

Washington Jan. IL. - Senator
SpOoner holds that whatever policy the
United States may adopt toward the
Philippines. this country must protect
life and property in the archipelago
and maintain a stable government. I'm
til the conditions are better understood
by Congress he considers academic
legislation worse than useless. Pend
ing wise solution of the question.
which can only be reached by careful
study of the people and conditions, he
has full confidence in the wisdom of
President Mckinley to direct the af-
fairs of the new possessions. He en-
bodied his ideas briefly today in the
following bill introduced in the Sem
ate:
THAT when the instruction against
the authority and sovereignty of the
United States in the Philippine islands
shall have been completely suppressed
all military, civil and judiciary pow
ers necessary to govern said islands
shall, until otherwise provided by Con-
gress, be vested in such persons and
shall be exercised in such manner as
the President of the United States shall
direct for maintaining and protecting
the inhabitants of said islands in the
full enjoyment of their liberty, prop
erty and religion"
The bill, which is unusually brief and
explicit, Is modelled on that passed by
the Eighth Congress after the pur-
chase from France of Louisiana Ter
tor Spooner had called on the President
with the purpose doubtless of securing
his approval or advice concerning its
provisions. He argues that the i'm
perialists and anti-imperialists agree
that strong and capable government
must 10 maintained whether the United
States shall retain the islands perml-
nently or eventually turn them over
to the Ea,ive people. Having accepted
'NopoAFo'''bts VI thc vi
islands the United States Is in duty
bound to give the islands as large q de-
gree Of freedom as possible under exc
cutive control. He holds that the
President, having the advantage of be-
ing in close touch with the military
officers In the Philippines and with the
Philippine Commission, can avail him
self of their advice more readily than
Congress during the experimental Pc
Rod of government
President Schurman notified the
President today that the Commission
would be ready to report the last of
this month. When the report has been
made to the President 1t will be sub
mitted to Congress. The President has
taken no further action about the sug-
gestion made to Congress as to the
sending of the Commission to the ISL
ands again. When the suggestion was
under consideration President Schur-
man announced that he would not be
able to visit the islands again.
