Il ~ iylI4h ~ II III ~ II.
Some time ago an offer was re-
seived by THE HERALD for the
publication Of "anti-prohibition
write-ups" to be PAID Tor as news
matter without marks Of any kind
and also as editorial 1t was
signed by Clarence T. Johnson,
whose address was given As Wash
ington- TIE HERALD IS not for
sale" in that way, and 50 the offer
was consigned to the waste basket.
1t NOW appears that the same offer
was made to nearly every newspaper
N Texas, and that, instead Of being
bona fide offer for advertising. it
vas merely a decoy letter sent out
by the prohibition party to find out
low many Texas papers could be
bought. The New Voice. well
known prohibition paper published
at Chicago, has exposed the whole
5oAea.e, an}the last number OF it
contains a list u the Texas papers
shat agreed 10 sell themselves to
she anti-prohibitionists at 50 much
per line. The outcome Of the trick
vas the receipt Of letters FROM Tex
rs editors to the number OF 16S
who were willing to accept the p1o-
position As to publishing the adj
yertising matter as news, without
any advertising marks whatever, .
while A OF the number agreed
outright to sell their editorial space
and quoted rates thereon. The list
rs published by the New Voice Is
anything but an honor roll, and
t makes a very bad showing for the
press Of the state, in the number Of
editors who would actually sell
5heir editorial columns, which no
reputable journal is ever supposed
o do.
THE HERALD does not propose o.
publish the list, but it cannot re-
train from pointing out one bril-
liant example among the number,
which is none other than the Texas
Sun Of Corpus Christi. The sun
has lately changed its politics from
democratic to republican, explain
ing at great length that its change
vas due to highly patriotic and
conscientious motives. So earnestly
Aas Editor Hardwicke defended his
course, that one could scarcely
withhold belief. But the New
Voice has exposed its true character.
In its report Of Texas editors who
ell into the trap, it says:
John B. Hardwicke, publisher of
she Texas Sun at Corpus Christi.
3onfesses that he has served two
terms in the city council, but does
not state how much communication
ne earned by good behaviour. He
admits also that he is "a leading

HAVE QUIT DRINKING.
ONLY TWO DRUNKS ARRESTED
IN FIVE DAYS.
Have Been But Two Drunks Arrested
Since Last Friday-Police DO Not
Understand 1t.

The police are wondering what has
come over the spirit of the community
or rather that part of the community
which gazes on the wine when it is red
and the primo when it is amber. The
record of arrests for intoxication has
shown such a remarkable decrease
since last Friday that High Sheriff
Brown is almost beginning to think
that his alert and vigilant force of
cops has become drunk blind.
But other explanations may be Of
fered by other people. There is always
the possibility that men will reform,
and why not that they will reform in
punches? The Anti-Saloon League
may claim the credit for the improve
ment by saying that the closing of
numerous Primo saloons about the city
is the true explanation. The saloon
keepers will probably ascribe it to hard
luck for them.
Whatever be the real cause, certainly
the change has been most marked ana
the entire police force is commenting
on the conditions. The record is dis
tinct and unparalleled in the history OF
the police department. On last Satur-
day morning, only two drunks faced
Judge Wilcox and received the usual
81 fine and 81 costs.
Usually on Monday morning, there
is a big list of drunks. as Saturday
night is generally a busy one with the
saloon men while the Blind Tigers"
rush things on Sunday. To the aston
ishment of every body in the police
court, not a single case of drunkenness
was on the calendar. on Tuesday
morning, the record was broken how
ever for a solitary japanese was charg-
ed with having been drunk the night
previous. He was not in court how
ever so his bail of S6 was declared for
felt.
This morning there were two defend
ants to answer to the charge Of drunk
enness one of them proved that he
had not been intoxicated at all and
was dismissed, while the other was
fined the usual amount

TWO SUITS SETTLED
UNITED STATES GETS QUARAN.
TINE ISLAND.
Compromise Agreement Is Carried Out
The Steamer Cummins Gets Dam
ages From Schooner Malolo.

Withdrawals were filed in the United
States court this morning in the cases
of McClelland against Cofer and the
steamer J. A. Cummins against the
schooner Malolo, both cases having
been settled out of court.
The McClelland-COfer case was
suit involving the ownership of
Quarantine Island, Dr. l.. E. Cofer,
quarantine officer, having been sued in
ejectment in his official capacity. A
compromise was arranged by United
States Attorney Breckons and Hatch
& Silliman, and it was Immediately
approved on being submitted to Wash
ington. BreckOns has now secured the
deeds necessary to carry out the terms
of the compromise, except from John
Sumner, whose deed is to be secured
from the Oahu Railway Company. The
United States is therefore now the
owner of Quarantine Island, and is in
full legal possession. The other own
ers take adjoining waters, constituting
the remainder of what was a large
fishery grant that included all the wa
ters around the island, but Quaran-
tine Island is surrounded by a sufli-
cient area reserved by the government,
to make it suitable for a quarantine
station.
The suit brought against the schoOE-
er Malolo was settled by the payment
of the amount asked for. This is also
case brought by Hatch & Silliman.
The plaintiffs demanded about 81 600
for damages done to the Cummins in
a collision with the schooner some
months ago, claiming that the accident
was the fault of the Malolos captain.
| The defendants paid over the amount
rather than contest.

AWARDS MADE
BY THE COURT
THE TOTAL is $26,S27 LESS THAN
THE APPROPRIATION
MADE.
STARTLING FIGURES FOR SOME
OF The CLAIMANTS. y
How the Commissioners Calculated
Awards and Made Reductions in the
Claims-Few Cases of Fraud.

The total amount of the awards by
the court of Chinatown fire commits
sioners was S1,473,173, or $26,S27 less
than the million and a half appropriat-
ed by the Legislature for payments Of
claims. Large numbers of awards have
been given out now, and the claimants
generally are beginning to find out
what is coming to them The claims
put in amounted to $3175,1 ,133, 50 that
the court has more than cut them in
half There are many hOwls among
the hungry claimants, but there is no
appeal The decisions of the court are
flnaE
There is a degree of uniformity in the
shaving of claims of all classes. In
some cases cuts are sweeping, as where
a claim for $1,000 is cut to $3.50. In the
average case throughout the whole
list of 6,74S claims, the court made the
best calculations possible as to the va
lue of the goods destroyed at the ac-
tual time of the confiagration. Most Of
the claimants put in claims for what
the lost goods had cost them. If the
goods were new, the cost price was
considered to be proper. If the goods
were old, allowance was made for
deterioration. This accounts, in gem
eral way for the reductions, though in
some of the personal claims there aIe
other reasons.
Fraudulent claims were surprisingly
few in number. Only about half a
dozen among the 6,74S were thrown out
as unworthy of consideration. In many
other cases. however, nothing was
awarded, either because the insurance
had been paid, or because there were
two claimants for one lot of goods, and
an award was. made to only one, with
rider attached to the award, re-
quiring the recipient to settle with the
other claimant. This will probably re-
suit in some contests in the circuit
court over the ownership of awards
made. All of the insurance company's
claims were thrown out, the commits
sion holding that it was not authorized
to pay except to the actual owners of
goods that were destroyed by the
plague fires.
Many of the claimants were greatly
shocked at the heavy cuts in the sums
they asked for. The firm of Yee Wo
Chan and Company, for instance, asked
for $777O5.7S, and is awarded 1923, 800. IS
Sweeping cuts appear to be more gen.
eral among native personal claims than
any others. One Kewelo claimed about
$4,000 and gets a hundred dollars. La
hapa Mauliawa, the lady with the end
/ less list of gorgeous silk holokus and
Gainesborough hats, whose lost ward
robe might have been the envy of a
monarch claimed $29, ,SO2.5O and was
awarded $3120.30 This is on the basis
of deterioration in value for the age
! of goods.
The following are some of the awards

FOUND THE OWNERS
PEOPLE IDENTIFYING STOLEN
JEWELRY.
Recent Capture Of Gold Watches by
Police Was Very Creditable-A Few
Watches Remain Unclaimed.

Through the publication in the Star
last Wednesday of the details of the
recovery of a number of stolen gold
watches, the police have been able to
locate the owners of several of the time
pieces. Dr. Oyama was one of those
who read the story of the capture of
the stolen watches from various POr-
to Ricans, and yesterday he went to
the police station and saw Detective
kaapa regarding the matter.
DR.. Oyama was robbed on the night
of July of a gold watch valued at
$64.50 a gold chain worth $25, and a
gold locket worth $16 He was able to
give the detective a good description
Of the articles and as he also remem-
bered the number of the watch, il was
discovered that the identical articles
were among those recovered. DR.. Oya-
ma was delighted to recover the arti-
cles and they will be restored to him as
soon as the trials of the Porto Ricans
who are charged with the theft shall
have been concluded.
Yee On Tai, who is connected with
the store of Wing On Tai, in Aala
Lane, also called at the police station
yesterday and identified two gold
watches which had been recovered
from the Porto Ricans. The watches
had been stolen from him ten days
ago.
These watches were found in the pos
session of a Porto Rican woman nam
ed Candida Casadia. She had secreted
them in a feather pillow, from where
the officers secured them. A fourth
watch was also secured by the officers,
but this article has not been identified.
She claimed that it was her property,
although it seems strange that she
should sew her own watch in a feath-
er pillow
Nine other watches have also been
secured by the police in their recent
roundup of Porto Ricans. Three of
the watches are silver and the others
either gold or gold filled. Only three
of the watches have been identified
however.
Last Saturday evening, the cottage
occupied by Thomas Morrissey, Char
les Nelson and Frank Johnson, on
Queen street near Punchbowl, was en-
tered. The thieves took a quantity Of
wearing apparel belonging to Johnson
and wrapped the goods in a bed spread
belonging to Morrissey, and then es-
capped. The police have been notified
of the robbery.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-07-16

In one or two of these cases, the
amount claimed appears to have been
less than the amount awarded. This
is because the attorney for the claim
ant made errors in figuring up the
claim when he sent it in. No claims
were raised.
The Chinese claims excepting some
of the larger ones, were looked after by
the consul and his secretary PoOn
Kwai. Whiting and Robinson appear
ed for them, representing in all 3,312
claimants. Magoon, Robertson and
Wilder, Brooks, Davidson and others
also had some Chinese claimants.
The following are some of the results:

TEMPORARY OPENINGS.
Short Term Letter Carriers Are
Employed

A discharge has lately been made
from the letter carrier department Of
the Honolulu post office through the
man, who was temporarily employed,
having failed to pass his examination.
Owing to the fact that certificates of
having passed the examinations are
now issued from the department at
Washington direct, instead of by the
local civil service board, there is apt
to be from time to time a lack of car
riers for the service who are duly quail
flied and certiiCated.
To overcome this, a section of the
rules provides for the appointment of
a temporary carrier or carriers, not to
be employed more than three months
in any one year. This was done i'm the
present instance, the man being taken
on last December and his time extend
ed by permission. In the meanwhile
the carrier tried for a certificate but
failed, and he finally left the service.
There are occasional openings of this
sort occurring in the local post office,
but unless the carrier passes the civil
service examination his term will be
limited by the time it takes for an elig-
| ible candidate to appear. The tenure
of Office is likely to be stretched over
| the regular three months as, without
| a certificated man being ready to step
in, it is adjudged poor policy to break
| in a new man every three months.
