The electricians are putting up the
colOred lights that will make the Exec

the evening Of the Admission Day ball.

Will be both novel and striking.
Right in front of the King street front
Of the building platform is being built
upon which the Territorial officers will
take the oath of office and be formally
inaugurated, and from which Governor
Dole Will deliver his inaugural address.
On either side of this, platforms are
being built for seats for the members
of the last Legislature, Territorial and
United States officers and other invited
guests.
This will give ample room for a large
concOWse to view the ceremonies.
The arrangements for the ball in the
evening are wall advanced. A pavilion
has been erected on the Waikiki side
of the Executive Building, the floor on
a level with the top of the balustrade

is 100 by so feet and is reached from
the old throne room by two short
flights of stairs.

are being very generally distributed,
and the committee seeks from citizens
information that will aid them in their
work.

POLICE Il Do SHIPPING

The shipping business on the water
front is going back to the old basis, as
a result of the row caused by the Turk
q Lewis methods, and hereafter the po-
lice will look after the shipping of sail
ors. Police Captain Flint, who is now
on the water front detail, has been
given complete control, as Harry Evans
had when in charge of the water front
police, and he will do the shipping.
Flint has already takn hold of the
work, and as the plan which worked so
well in Evans days is a very popular
one with the masters, he is likely to
soon get the business in his hands. II
Marie was able to get a crew. With
big Jim" for his helper, Flint will be
able to handle water front business so
that there will be little room for crimps.
The British ship NJ. h. Watson, Is
leaving for the Sound today with a
crew that was filled by Captain of Po-
lice Flint. The master of the Watson,
Captain Wilson, was very successful
with his men here. He arrived here on
May l and only needed two men when
he got ready to go. The Luzon, one of
the deep water fleet. will probably go
out this week. She is one of the $40 a
man vessels, already contracted for by
her owner.
The Erdall case is still being worked
on by the police, but it is stated that
no arrests are likely to be made. Since
he decided to give up the shipping bust
ness here, Erdall has taken a berth as
mate of a ship. and he will soon be far
from Honolulu.

DOPE FED TO THE FISHES.
CUSTOM HOUSE SEIZURES ARE
DISPOSED OF.
Twenty Thousand Dollars Worth OF
Tabu Drug Dumped Into the Sea by
the Board Of Health.

There is no dope left in the custom
house. This morning the Board of
Health made a descent upon the musty
little vault where the catches of so
many years have been stored and it was
all hauled away from the custom house
to be put on board a scow, taken two
miles out to sea and dumped overheard.
By this time the turtles and fishes in
the locality chosen have had their bit
of strange flavor, and are doubtless
wondering what sort of stuff they have
drifted into.
Dr. Garvin, DIR. Pratt, Samuel John
son and +. T. Neeley ana w. II. Drum
mond, with three or four workmen, got
the opium out from among the dirt and
cockroaches of the vault, where il has
been stored. Drummond tailed for the
custom house, and DR.. Pratt for the
Board Of Health, and the workmen
threw the tins into a. wagon. There
were 3,254 tins in all. While the count
was proceeding DR.. Garvin rummaged
about in the vault, which has a smell
that will not leave it soon, and found a
pipe with which some willy importer Of
dope expected to enjoy himself. 1t had
seen better days, but the doctor decided
that it was worth saving from the
wreck as a souvenir.
There was all kinds of dope in the
lot fed to the fishes today. Drummond
and Neeley are both old hands at the
dope-catching business, and recognized
among the boxes the trophies of many
catches that were great events in their
day. There was Hongkong number one
dope, nicely labeled and bearing
stamps that showed that it had been
lawfully imported into San Francisco.
and duty paid on it, before it was start
ed Hawaii-wards, to end its journey in
the dark little vault and then in the
I briny deep. There was cheap Victoria
dope and cheap San Francisco dope, all
| looking alike to the Impractical eye,
| but easily distinguishable to the old
| hands at the business.
Each tin was opened before it was
thrown into the water DR.. Garvin had
long job experimenting the opening
of over three thousand tins, but the
work was necessary, for the unopened
can might come drifting back ashore
and be rescued by some hungry China
man.
! A lot of Cinnamon stood outside the
| little alleyway leading to the custom
house vault, while the opium was being
placed on the wagon. They peered
! through the iron galway and jabbered
about the white mans folly in throwing
away good dope The value of the lot
thrown away is at least $40, 900, and at
rates that have been quoted i'm some
parts of the Islands when the precious
| drug was scarce, ii would be worth four
or five times that sum. The Hawaiian
| government has for some time adopted
the policy of allowing no opium in the
| country whatever. and today's clean-up
was the last under the old regime. The
vault is to be used hereafter for in
| ternal revenue stamps, of which Dep
uty Collector Flint brought a hundred
thousand dollars worth from San
! Francisco.
