Judge Ryan Will decide this case on law
points, and I hardly think he will order

that took place before the council as a

CLING TO OLD MARKET SITE
Retail GrOcers Appoint COMMITTEES TO A
with Commission Men.
NEW MARKET WOULD DOUBLE EXPENSES
Propositions f. 60 Secure Bis BuiIdinE
I'm COmmission District and Es-
tabIish Independent Fruit
and vegetable Mart.

At the meeting Of the Retail Groeers' as
ISOLATION yesterday the members took
steps to unite with the commission mer-
chants and gardeners to secure a market
place In the neighborhood OF the commits
sion district. A committee was appointed
to confer with like committees from the
commission exchange and the gardeners
and 10 report some time this week upon the
success Of the attempt to locate q market
place near the present site.
Speaking Of the Capitol avenue site,
members said that It would entail double
expense upon all dealers in fruit and vege-
tables, as they would need two buyers and
two delivery wagons plying between the
markets, one to visit the local market and
another to 20 to the commission houses,
because purchases are made at the sam
time while the goods are fresh and stocks
are full in the morning.
Propose United Lease.
1t has been suggested by the commission
men and gardeners that they unite In leas-
ing some building near the present site Of
the market and renting stalls to those who
desire to sell to the retail dealers. The
building owned by DR.. s. d. Mercer and re-
Gently vacated by David Cole has been sug-
gested as a site. 1t is large enough to ac-
commodate several stalls and the location
Is in the heart Of the commission district.
II a building is secured the stalls will be
put up at auction and Il lie believed that
sufficient money can be secured to pay ali
expenses attending the management OF the
hoGse.
II this plan fails It Is stated that several
Of the largest dealers will sell entirely
from their wagons to retail dealers. making
delivery at the different houses.
The question Of rate cutting was dis
cussed at length at the meeting and II was
decided to consider some plan which would
result in maintaining prices on staple arti-
cles.
Pare Food Law.
Congress was, petitioned to pass a pure
food law and amendments to the interstate
commerce Law and was requested not to
repeal the law levying the tax upon tea.
The coal oil company was not referred to
in the meeting. as the stockholders expect
to hold q meeting later. In informal dis
cussiop Of the matter after the meeting ad-
%journed 1t was learned that a report had
gained currency that the Standard OIL COM
pany had adopted a new plan for fighting
the new company and that the wagons are
not to be restored. In place OF this two
prices will be made on oil. One Of these
will be the. present rate, which will be de-
manded OF all persons who nave entered
the combination formed by the National
OH. company, and the other, considerably
lower. will be made to those grocers who
have not entered the cooperative concern.
Forty eight grocers are In the mutual COM
pany and more than 100 are independent.

TILE NOT TO
Be FOUGHT AGAIN
SENATORS SHUT DOWN ON At
TEMPT TO OPEN UP 1898 REvO-
LUTIONG-GOV. DOLE APPEARS.

At the afternoon session Of the Sem
atorial Commission DR.. Wood Concud-
ed his paper Force was laid upon the
fact that the precautions made against
plague were as much Tor the protection
of the coast and mainland cities as for
Honolulu, also that there was no ex-
travagance as alleged. Governor Dole
appeared before the commission and
stated that he was ready to answer
questions.
He said that he had vetoed the City
and County bill and invited the COM
mission to read and form their own
opinion of that document. The wit
ness was in favor of an organic act
making county governments optional
in the various districts not compulsory
He favored the coUirol of public lands
by the local government as being closer
in touch with conditions. He favored
longer leases to the Portuguese as a
solution of their troubles A purchase
fee would be preferable but he thought
such procedure would be hard upon
many of the residents. Senator Burton
and Governor Dole then held argument
upon city and county government. The
governor thought a simple form of city
government a good thing eventually.
| He favored the appointment rather
than election of minor officials as under
the federal government and, despite
Senator Buttons challenge, did not
think such a course un-American as 1t
was based upon the principles of he
general government. Senator Burton
continued the tournament on the land
law question and John Emmeluth asked
for the privilege of questioning the exc
cutive. Emmeluth attempted to point
out that adoption of his own views on
land would have bettered the situation
and was told to confine himself to ques-
tons by the commission who sustained
the governor in his matter of the de-
/ mand by the legislature of all cores
pondence and records of the executive
council. The extra session and bribery
questions were thrashed out and the
county bill once more brought up.
Judge Humphreys again asked for
right of question and cathechised the
governor as to the payment of the eX-
penses of f. S. Boyd at Washington.
Senator Mitchell interviewed during the
questioning. The bribery question was
DIUusnL up, the governor answering
that he had been given sufficient infor-
nation to guarantee his actions.
Attorneys De Knight and A. S. Hum
phTeys took the floor late in the after
noon for the queen and attempted to
show that unless there had been inter-
vention by the United States that queen
could have easily set down the re-
bellion.
Andrew Brown was being questioned
as a witness on this point when the
commission stopped the inquiry on the
grounds that there were ample records
to support any such claims without the
lreopening of old subjects. An adjourn
ment until this morning declared, as
the commission needed time for e&eCu-
tive sessions to consider the masses of
evidence offered.

PARKS
FOR AMERICA

President Eliot of Harvard University
contended in a recent meeting of the
American Park and Outdoor ASsOcia-
ton that the people of this country do
not make enough use of their parks
and public reservations. The chief
reason he gave for this was that Amer
leans have not the capacity to enjoy
out-of-door life, and he urged that the
people should be educated up to the
use of parks by making them attrac-
tive and easy of access.
There is much truth in what DR.. Ell
liot said. Americans make but little
use of their open spaces in comparison
with the constant service to which
Europeans put their open spaces. The
latter have been taught by generations
of practice to live out of doors nearly
all the time they are not at work or
asleep. European workingmen, as soon
as the days labor is over, throng the
streets and public places and stay
there until bedtime During the same
time the American workingmen sit in
the house or on their own porch. AS
for going to a park on weekday even
ing, that great majority of men who
have worked during the daytime. These
are patent facts to every observer.
There are reasons for the difference,
habits in this respect. In the first place,
it is a matter of climate. This country
has greater extremes of heat and cold
than Europe and consequently does not
admit of so much life in the open air
as countries where the temperature is
more equable. Another reason is the
shorter twilights here, which do not
lure people out of their houses as the
long European twilights do. Then
there are not the attractions in parks
in this country in the shape of the free
sale of wines and malt drinks and the
furnishing of games of all sorts found
in European parks and open spaces.
Again, the American workingman
works harder than his European broth
err and is more tired and less inclined
to outdoor diversion when the evening
comes. And last, and best of all, the
American has a better house to sit in
and does not need to look elsewhere
for comfort.
But admitting all these facts, it Is
still true that Americans make too lit
tie use of their parks and public places
and lose much of the benefit they can
give. One objection to their use, the
lack of time to visit them, is being
overcome by the gradually shortening
hours of the working day and the in
PRODUCTION of the Saturday haif-holi-
day.

SAID IT WAS GOOD PLACE.

The mother of Keawehaulu, a native
boy about 10 years of age, was before
Judge Wilcox yesterday to testify
against her boy. She said that the lit
tie fellow was lncorrigible. He was
beyond her control. His elder brother
had already been committed to the re-
form school and was being well treated
and trained at that institution, that
she wished her younger boy committed
to the same place for a term of ten
years. The court thought this was a
long time. The little fellow admitted
that he had been playing hockey"
from school, so the judge sentenced
him to three years in the reform school.
