a month Juen and his attorney ap-
pezred before Minister Young and
asked that privilege be given him 70
open saloon In the Orpheum block.
as the loss 10 him was very heavy
Minister Young said that no more u
censes wopld be granted on Fort
street, thst be would resign before
granting such q privilege. Two other
locations we're tried. but the govern
ment would have none CT Nr. Juen's
choosing. After he had been out OF
business for more than six months he
was permitted 10 open in Aala- Three
months later. when the hcensee had
taken twenty year lease on the prop
erty where his business was, he was
refused a renewal Of his license for
the reason that the location was out
side the prescribed limits. He was
later granted q license win the condi-
ton that be remove within the limits
named BY the Government before the
following year But this was not the
only loss Of the licensee. His goods
given In charge OF the government at
the time Of the destruction OF his place
Of business were held for four months
and disappeared 20 the extent Of one
half the original quantity. And to
make matters seem more unequal 70
him. licenses have since been granted
for the two places for which be made
application previously.
The application Of Jose de Melo
Pedro. for a license at HoIualoa. Id
wah Is one instance where hardship
attended the attempt OF some Ameri-
cans 10 establish themselves in bust
ness. With the endorsement of all
good citizens Of the district and the
approval Of the sheriff. Pedro. who Is
now the lessee Of public lands and of
course must be a responsible citizen.
was granted a license. but almost i'm
mediately thereafter the same was
Withdrawn. Since that time. accord
ing 10 the. testimony OF his attorneys
in thercase, a Japanese has been grant
ed a license for a place in the same
district and nearer to the church and
school house than was Mr.. Pedro's.
and an alien enjoys the privilege de-
MED 10 an American citizen.
With all these facts before your com
mittee it feels constrained to make
several recommendations, and to
suggest the passage Of several resolu-
tons 10 make the same effective
First. your committee would recon-
mend in the case of H. A. Juen that his
license be extended for a period cover
ing the interval during which his IL
cense, through conditions beyond its
control, left him without resources or
income. and in consideration of this
concession he 10 waive an claims
against the Territory for losses on 'ac.
count of stock.
Second. we would recommend that
w. c. J. Gilman be granted a renewal
OF his license at Waikiki. upon com
plying with the usual conditions save
that OF distance from a licensed spirit
seller This license, in the opinion
OF this committee. was wrongfully
taken from him and the provisions Of
the law OF 1898 should be. and ar,
hereby suspended for this purpose

the future no retail liquor license I,
granted to-any wholesale liquor deale
or firm, and that no agent OF any sucl
