WILCOX HAS A SCARE

Judge Wilcox had quite a severe
shock when his police court calendar
was called this morning. There were
about 50 cases on it, '55 of them being
gamblers arrested in two lots, and at
torney Brooks rose to remark in behalf
OF the 50 that most of them would prob
ably want separate trials. 1t seemed
to Old-timerS in the court that the
judges hair could be seen to rise, as
he studied the oVerCrOwded calendar
over his specs. Chinese gamblers have
all plead at once in the past and have
been tried in big bands This time, as
If to show that there was something
in the wind, the Mongolians all entered
pleas of not guilty.
1t was calculated that if Judge Will
cox Goes nothing else for four days lie
may get through with most of the gam
blers in that time, should the threat
to demand separate trials be carried
out. This was supposing that all cases
were tried very rapidly indeed, while if
there should be warm contesting and
the usual amount of oriental perjury
brought forth, it was figured that his
honor might settle down to employ the
first two weeks of the new century
with the 50 gamblers whom Deputy
Sheriff ChillingwOrth rounded up last
Saturday night.
The defendants We're all alleged to
have been either playing paikow or
present and interested while It was
| being played. The deputy sheriff says
! he did not want to arrest them, but
| that many complaints We're made about
| the noise their game made. On two
successive nights he made appearance
when the fun was going on and warned
! the Cinnamon that they must stop
They kept on and on Saturday he
| gathered them in, in two lots, one of
! 81 and the other of "a.
The defendants lined up before Judge
Wilcox this morning and all pleaded
not guilty. The court was very busy
so the cases went over till half past one
/ this afternoon.
This afternoon the calendar was still
crowded with other cases and the gam
blers were dismissed until Wednesday
morning. There is already a long list
of cases for that day.

EXECUTIVE MEETING ALARMED
ABOUT THEM.
Said to be Again Coming In, Packed In
Hong Kong and Canton Mud-Other
Matters Considered by Council.

Chinese are again bringing eggs into
Honolulu packed in the mud from the
neighbOrhood of Hong Kong and Can
ton. 1t is a well known fact that mud
is the most complete carrier Of plague
germs known, and less than year
ago the Board of Health prohibited the
importation of eggs from the Orient in
soil. Lately due to lapsing of vigi-
lance, perhaps, shipments of eggs in
mud have arrived. The matter was
this morning strongly presented in the
Executive meeting by Secretary Cooper,
who advocated a strict adherence to the
old rule. After discussion it was decid-
ed to call the Board of Health's atten-
ton to the matter and to remind that
BODY that 1t is of utmost Importance
that eggs in mud be prohibited and
kept out There are medical authorities
who still believe that plague was
brought here in 1899 in the soil around
Chinese eggs.
Wray Taylor called attention to the
danger of bringing in pests from Aus
tralia and the South Seas in fruits.
Prof. Koebele has several times urged
very stringent regulations. This matter
also lapsed and the other day a ship
ment arrived Mr.. Taylor was advised
to frame regulations as he deemed
necessary and enforce them strictly
The Attorney General submitted and
read part of his report for the year
1900 together with an estimate of the
expenses Of the department for the year
1901.
Mr.. McCandless submitted a proposal
of the Union Feed Company to pay for
water pipe to be laid to it's building in
Kakaako on condition that the rlxecu-
tive recommend that the company be
indemnified by the legislature. The
council did not feel disposed to take uU
/ the matter, more particularly as the
session of the Legislature is so close at
hand.

ATTENTION! wRAY TAYLOR.

The attention of Mr.. Wray Taylor,
forester, is invited to the fact that
Maui is now water soaked, and that
conditions are favorable for extensive
experimental tree planting. Tree cul-
ture for fuel purposes will always be an
important industry on Maui, and the
board of forestry should at once take
the matter in hand and encourage this
industry.-Maui News.

THE HUSBANDS KICK.
Want Their Wives Fined When Up For
Drunkenness.

The police court custom of allowing
women who are up for drunkenness to
go with mere reprimands Is to obtain
no more says Judge Wilcox. The judge
has taken to fining the wahines the
same as the men, and he says that he
has been asked to do so by husbands
who wanted their wives to have the
benefit of the lessons.
"I have been waited upon by a de-
putation of husbands" said the Judge,
"whO wanted me to impose some fines
on the women They say that the wo-
men drinkers are becoming unmanage-
able, because they think they are in no
danger of fines"
As a result of this odd state of affairs
this morning Judge Wilcox fined a ma
tive woman So and costs for being drunk
Her husband was presumably looking
on with approval, for he was one of the
natives who told the judge that the
women had begun to think they had a
snap and were getting drunk whenever
they wanted to.
