.SEVfNTY-FIVE DRINKS"
POLICE COURT CALENDAR THAT
BREAKS RECORDS.
Disastrous Effects of an Election Day
That Preceded a Sunday and a Holt
day.

Seventy-five cases of drunkenness
were called before Judge Wilcox tins
morning. making up the biggest list
on record There were soldiers, sailors
stevedores, workmen of all classes and
many nationalities. Native Hawaiians,
Portuguese and Spaniards and three
Japanese were in the dock, as well as
an unusual proportions of whites.
The natives numbered 26, about half
of the entire list of DRINKS being
whites. 1t appeared that there had
been too much free booze when the
"pollies" were chasing votes on Satur-
day, and then came Sunday after
which a man might have head" and
still not lose his job, for the next day
was a holiday, and so the record kept
piling up. the police wagon took those
for whom there was not room in the
station to Oahu prison, while bail mo-
ney, in siX-dollar installments, began
to make up a considerable sum.
1t was commented upon as an eX-
ample of the fitness of things that the
names of d. Mcpherson and Frank
Lawless should head the long list. Nc
| Pherson came first, but Lawless is
! thought by some to be entitled to the
| honor Mcpherson was in a submits
sive mood today and only said yes"
when the charge was read against him.
! Lawless had spiel" He was going
to Hilo to work he said and ought to
be released this time.
THE question is not where you are
going, but whether you were DRUM"
was the judges unfeeling rejoinder, and
Lawless bowed his head and sat down
| to work out 50 and costs.
| Quite a number of other old-timers
were on hand. Jack No. 4, Jack No. 2
and Jack No. were all there. Num-
Der two is "colored darby" who is one
of the regular ones. He began to nod
| his head at the judge before the charge
had been finished and no time was lost
in assessing him 81 and costs. The
other Jacks met like fate.
Judge Wilcox refused all invitations
to be merciful. The illustrious example
of some justices in the states, who
make a practice of dischargirg all
drunks after such an occasion as yes
terday was in Honolulu, deeming JUS
| tice satisfied if the men are turn
ed loose with a lecture, was held up
to him as a proper thing for Honolulu,
but Wilcox didn't seem to like the idea.
Even the good old first offense plea was
of no use.
1--WE all have to begin some time,
said his honor to a man who held his
head and said he had never been ar
rested before.
In addition to the IS drunk charges
there were 10 others on the calendar
this morning, making So cases in all.

SHIRT WAIST MAN.
Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, Goes Back
on Him.


CHICAGO, August 7.-Chicago has
little sympathy for the shirt waist
which has become so popular in the
East as an article of masculine wearing
apparel. Local hotel keepers generally
condemn the shirt waist and it is also
tabooed around the prominent clubs.
The feeling of the bonifaces in this res
pect was demonstrated beyond doubt
today when young Fastener attempt
ed to eat breakfast in the Auditorium
Hotel dining-room. He was attired in
a shirt waist of Eastern pattern, a pair
of white trousers and he wore no coat.
The head waiter of the dining-room
promptly requested him to withdraw
and Manager c. E. Trip acquiesced
in the walters judgment later when
complaint was made to him.
Stuyvesant French of New York was
the name given by the young man who
tried to set a precedent in shirt waists
in Chicago. His shirt waist was decid-
edly noticeable, being of creamy col
or. Mr.. French's trousers were of tian-
nell A pair of patent leather shoes
completed the makeup. He had no
sooner seated himself in the dining
room than the head waiter fastened to
his side and asked him to withdraw,
which he did in high dudgeon amid the
laughter of the guests.
