lulu is waging war of determination
against rats. 1t pronounces them a di-
pie. and a backset to the prosperity OF
the city. Any one who realizes the po-
tency of rats in spreading the bubonic
plague will not wonder at the earnest
ness of the Advertiser in its campaign.

BILL FOR IT NEARLY READY FOR
LEGISLATURE.
If Passed the Liquor Business of The
The Government.

1t is almost certain that a bill carry
ing the Dispensary idea of handling Ii
quor in the Islands will be introduced
in the early days of the Legislature, and
it has good chances of passing. The
bill has already been drawn, or most of
it has been completed, and 1t has re-
ceived the approval of most of the
members of the legislature Governor
Dole has expressed himself as in favor
of the measure, and has informed the
promoters that he will not veto it If
passed on the lines mapped out.
Particulars regarding the bill are
hard to get, but it can be stated that 1t
will mean government ownership of all
saloons and that the profits from the
sale OF liquors in future will go into the
public treasury in place of in the pock-
cts OF the saloon keepers. Just how
many saloons or dispensaries the bill
proposes to permit in Honolulu could
not be learned but it will certainly not
be over four There will be no drinking
in the dispensaries. Everything will
be sold in sealed bottles and must be
taken away. A government gauger
will certify on each bottle to the purity
of the goods. Dispensaries will be
closed at 6 o'clock in the afternoons
Habitual drunkards will not be sold
anything at all except upon a certifi-
cate of a reputable physician.
The bill will bring about a sweeping
change in conditions, should it ever be
come law. It's friends say it will re-
duce drunkenness and crime at the
start from twenty-five to thirty pei
cent. They base their opinion upon the
experience of South Carolina and Ct
Russia, the latter country adopting The
system about five years ago, copying
the law of the former. A few tempe
rance people seen today look upon the
system as a great advance toward theii
ideal. At the same time it is a big
undertaking and will induce a series q,
difficulties and court cases. The friend!
of the bill believe that the system vii

TAKEN UP BY VARIOUS LARGE
PLANTATIONS.
Water Drifts to BE Established Near
Wailuku and on Kauai-Engineer can
Reclaim Kaunakakai.

The story in Saturdays Star regard
ing the accomplishment of Mining En-
gineer Taylor at Kohala in under
ground mining for water was widely
read and received the attention OF sew
eral plantation agencies During Sa-
turday afternoon Mr. Taylor was
sought ou' by three agencies and i'm
parted to them information that may
result in new system in many places
OF getting water. There is hardly a
doubt but that the scheme viii be put
into operation on Kauai and perhaps at
the American Sugar Company's estate
on Molokai. So confident is Mr. Tay-
lor that he can make a complete sue
cess of the water at Kaunakakai that
he said just before sailing on his vaca-
ton in the east that if his employers
would relieve him for a short time he
would consent to establish the system
to demonstrate the truth of his words
At Wailuku plantation they have
taken up the Taylor system with every
promise of success. Mr.. Lowrie. of
Spreckelsville, has also taken ii up and
purposes developing "A large quantity of
water by means of drifts in lao valley.
This means that Kihei also goes into
the project. W. A. Kinney had long
talk with Taylor Saturday afternoon
and is convinced that the drift system
is just the thing for many estates He
believes with Mr.. Taylor that there are
few dry Localities that cannot be re-
deemed by it,
Mr.. Taylor will be gone two months.
| Upon his return he has an idea OF eX-
perlmenting on some of the dryest
, lands of Kona to demonstrate to plan
| tation men the merits of the system.
The central principle of the system is
to dig to water streams and by throw
ing out tunnels to other streams. ar
rest and divert the water that would
otherwise find it's way to the sea. upon

THE STORM SEWER.
Shower of This Noon Proves it Not
Large Enough.

The heavy shower at noon today
proved that the storm sewer being laid
for Fort street is inadequate. 1t was
only a short time after the rain started
before the sewer on Queen street was
checked with water and the flood fol-
lowed it's usual course in the cutters
and upon the highway to the sea. Only
three traps were opened, but had all
been opened up Fort street the result
would have been very nearly as bad,
for the volume of water was greater
than the sewer could manage.
1t will take a half dozen sewers the
size of the one now being put in to
carry off the surplus water in a big
storm. With the wash from the foot
hills through Beretania into Fort, a
sewer something the size of a house
would just about do the work. From
the color of the water today it may be
reasonably suspected that after the
present storm the little pipe-stem sewer
on Queen street will be clogged with
mud.

STAR DAIRY MILK CASE
POLICE TAKE A NEW LINE OF
ACTION.
a. Il. Doak on Trial for Sale of MIX
Served by c. Lomba, Who Was Ac-
quilted,

The Star Dairy milk case was be-
fore Judge Wilcox this morning, but
was not finished because G. Lomba,
the man said to have sold the watered
milk, wanted as a witness, could not be
found. A. b. Doak, as manager of the
dairy, was the man on trial, the facts
in the case being exactly the same as
in the trial of Lomba last December
Lomba was discharged as Judge Will
cox decided that the prosecution had
not proved that he was the actual sell
er of the milk. which was delivered To
Mrs. Levy on December 25. The police
then made a warrant for noak, as EN-
ploYer of Lomba and TIE case is now
being tried over again.
Attorney Peters for the defense made
a long argument to quash the COM
plant on the ground that it was not
legally drawn, being based simply up
on information and belief. Judge Will
cox oVerruled the points raised, as he
has done before remarkng that he
would like to have the higher courts
pass upon the matter.
Milk Inspector Myhre testified t
having secured some milk that was be-
ing delivered from a Star Dairy Wagon
by Lomba. DIR. Shorey testified tC
| having analyZed the milk and founC
that it contained fifteen per cent o
| added water.
| The case came to an end here a:
Lomba had disappeared and could no
be subpoened. He is wanted as a wit
ness by the prosecution to prove tina
Doak is the manager of the Star Dair!
and thus fix responsibility for the sal
+ of the watered milk upon Doak. Th
case was continued till tomorrow morn

This ruling will be received with
much satisfaction by the various Chi
nese citizens and their friends. They
were taking steps to carry the matter
to the courts and test the ruling of
the solicitor of the Treasury, which
was adverse to them, but this opinion
by the Attorney General which is now
final, will relieve them of that expense
and trouble.
Nevertheless they should not fail to
register, for in case of their desiring
to visit the States they might be put
to considerable trouble and expense in
proving their right to enter.

~. S. Attorney, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Sir: In reply to your letter of No
vember II, 1900, | have to inform you
that 1 have rendered an opinion to the
Secretary of the Treasury, dated jan
uary 16, 1901, holding that a Chinese
person born or naturalized in the Ha-
waiiau Islands, who was in fact a
citizen of the Republic of Hawaii, un-
der the constitution and laws thereof
on August ~, 1885, and has not since
that date abandoned or lost his rights
as such, is a citizen of the United
States as well as of the Territory of
Hawaii. You will be guided accord
ingly.
Respectfully,

ATTORNEY- GENERAL GRIGGS
IMPORTANT RULING.
Rights of Citizens of the Former Re
public and Hawaiian Born Chinese
VIII be Respected.

Chinese who We're citizens of the Re
pubic of hawam or those who were
porn IN the hawaiian Islands need give
themselves no further alarm over their
political standing. They are American
citizens and are free to go ana come
as they choose.
This opinion was filed recently by
Attorney General Griggs at Washing
ton, ID. c., and nulines the previous
ruling of the solicitor of the Treasury
who held that Chinese who were citi-
zens of the Republic had not been pro-
tected by the Territorial Act. Recent
dispatches gave a brief statement of
the ruling by Attorney Griggs
but did not convey the exact extent
of the opinion. United States District
Attorney Baird received an opinion
from Attorney General Griggs by the
last mail in which the rights of the
Chinese were clearly set forth. The let
ter from the Attorney General was
written in reply to the following from
Mr.. Baird:

Sir: On September 18th, 1900, the
Acting Commissioner General of lmmi-
grafton in his letter of that date OR.
o. ID. No. 1932-C.) ruled that Chinese
persons acquiring citizenship under the
laws of Hawaii cannot be considered
citizens of the United States
I'VE have had many habeas corpus
cases here where Chinese persons have
been held for deportation, although
they claimed to be of Hawaiian birth.
So far the government has prevailed
in every case because the claimants
failed to establish the fact of their
birth in the Hawaiian Islands.
II respectfully request instructions
turns from China who can really es-
tablish the fact of his birth here.
Section 4 of the Act of April 30, 1900,
reads as follows: That all persons who
were citizens of the Republic of Hawaii
on August 18th, 1898, are hereby de-
clared to be citizens of the United
