GOT MONEY BACK
JAPANESE LOTTERY DRAWING
HELD AT PALANfA.
Three Hundred Dollars Given Away in
Prizes-How The Stool Pigeon Work
ed The Double Cross,

The crowds Of japanese who were to
have collected their lottery money from
underneath the shadow of Kameha-
meha's statue are nursing at home the
loss of their dollars although a number
of them successfully demanded their
money back form the agents
Owing to the vigorous exploitation Of
the scheme in the columns of the Japa-
nese ShinpO and The Star, all those who
/ found the agents available started in to
! get their dollars back for the tickets
and fearing that they would lose all
that they had gained by their little
scheme, the promoters of the great
Japanese lottery announced a giving
! of prizes prior to the date originally an
nounced. There was no date mentioned
on the tickets and the time and place
were given out verbally by the men who
sold them. Buyers disagreed as to the
date, some saying 1t was the twentieth
and others today.
At the eleventh hour, seeing that the
kamehameha statue plan and the COM
plete gulling of the buyers was no long
er feasible, the lottery managers chang
ed the drawing to rendezvous at Pa
| lama, where II come off last Wednesday
evening" Announcing that many oF
the buyers, misled by false statements,
meant to discredit a scheme which
was arranged from philanthropic mo-
tives only, had demanded their money
baNh dliu luuS Sduly uepleLed the trea-
sury leaving only some four hundred
dollars now in their hands," the mani
pulators added that they could there
fore only give out prizes upon a cores
pondingly limited amount which they
thereupon proceeded to do.
TWO prizes were given, one of 5000 and
one of 800, the balance went to the
promoters. The Japanese who failed to
gain prizes have insinuated that the
lucky prize winners were intimate
friends of the promoters and that the
money merely passed through their
/ hands. One Of these stool pigeons is
further announced as having pocketed
his money and refused to give it up,
quietly denying all knowledge and Civ
/ ing the green goods men what is term
| ed in sporting parlance the double
/ cross. As the originatOrs have no re-
/ course in law he has considerably the
/ best of it.
Although the manipulatOrs had their
profits materially interfered with they
have undoubtedly got away with a
thousand or so hardly earned dollars
| from the Japanese laborers on this and
| other Islands. On Kauai alone they sold
$500 of the tickets as well as on Hawaii
and Maui and however anxious these
latter buyers were to get their money
/ hack they have never caught even a
glimpse of the agents who painted such
a rosy future for them. 1t is estimated
| by prominent Japanese merchants that
| the promoters ralIed in clear $4,000 on
the whole transactions There will be
/ no more lotteries among the Hawaiian
! japanese for a while. The short cut to
wealth theory nas been exploded.

BUSINESS IN SHIPPING CIRCLES
PAU.
Ships Were Closed Down and No Work
Done-Vessels Gaily Decorated With
Flags-walting for Alameda.

Washingtons Birthday was univer-
sally observed along the water front, to-
day. Business every where was closed
down. Nearly every vessel in port was
decorated with flags in honor of the
occasion. The British cruiser PhaetOn
was decorated quite prOfusely flags be-
ing displayed in great number The
bark Mohican also presented fine ap-
pearance. The Navy collier Alexander
was also decked with flags as was the
tug IrOquois.
There was a general air Of expectan-
cy about the front however, as scores of
natives and others were waiting for the
appearance of the Alameda.
The Custom House was closed to
business as were the various shipping
houses. The laborers for the steve
dores were paid off early so that
the Office should be closed down and
work ended as soon as possible.
All of the various island schooners
in port, shut down tight and theit
crews went ashore to enjoy the celehra-
ton of the birthday Of the Father Of
His Country.

MAKING NEW ROAD.
Rapid Transit Half Through the Nc
Gully Tract.

The contractors for the Rapid Transit
Company have completed about half
Of the 5000 feet of roadway through the
McCully tract, for the line to the Wal
kiki road and are rapidly extending
the road along, Tracklayng will not
begin until the road has been laid down
about a month, as it is thought that
the roadbed viii settle a little at first.
After a months teamng and other
work on it, it viii be a firm road bed,
and tracks will be laid as fast as pos
sible.
BY the time the entire road is put
down the first part will be nearly ready
for tracks. and cars will be run as soon
as the irons can be put in place, The
work is being rushed with an possible
speed and it is probable that cars will
begin to run on a part of the new road
i'm a very short time.
The company will not wait for the
entire extension to be finished before
running cars, but viii extend it's service
as fast as the road is extended. From
! time TO time, as the tracks are laid, the
service will be extended over them. so
/ that the service to Waikiki win be i'm
operation as soon as the tracks are
down.

OPPOSE JUTE MILL
HIGH SHERIFF BROWN AGAINST
PLAN.
Favors Working Prisoners on Road.
Thinks EJute Manufacturing Should
Wait Until Penitentiary is Here.

High Sheriff Brown does not agree
with Jailor Henry in the present need
for a jute factory being established in
the territory. In fact, High Sheriff
Brown is a strong advocate of employ
ing the prisoners on road work.
"While the idea of a lutte factory" "
said High Sheriff Brown lis an excel
lent one, do not believe in the estab-
lishment of such an institution in con-
nection with out prison system for the
present at least. To establish such an
institution here, would require a large
outlay of money and would further re-
quire the importation of a number of
men who are cOnyersant with the manu-
facture of jute bags. Under present
conditions, I am opposed to the estab-
lishment of such a mill.
I'm my opinion, prisoners should be
kept on road work. They make the
best class of labOrers that can be secur-
ed for this sort of work, whereas it
would be impossible for many of the
prisoners committed to the pail for a
few days to learn to work in the jute
mill.
ION the other hand 1t makes no diff
ference whether a man is sent to serve
as short a period as six days, he can be
given a suit of clothes and a sledge
hammer and put to work in the quar-
ries. 1t is very hard and trying sort
Of labor and is Just the character of
work which the law aim to give men
who are committed to prison. 1t would
be very expensive to hire help outside
of the prison to work in the quarries
whereas the prisoners are compelled to
do so.
Il am a strong advocate of working
prisoners on the roads. and not untilwe
have a penitentiarv here do 1 think that
the jute mill idea will be feasible We
could then put the long termers at work
in jute bag manufacturing while the
men committed for short periods could
be made to work on the roads"

CAPT. STREETER's GREAT BAT
tt -

Sitting In an old barn, stroking his
red beard slowly and looking ruefully
out over the waters of Lake Michigan
at Chicago, is Capt George Wellington
Streeter, regarded by many as one of
the heroes of the century. For sixteen
years Streeter has been fighting with
powder and ball, in justice shops and
IN state and federal courts, for title to
portion of land owned along the lake
shore which now amounts to 1876 acres,
but which at the outset was only
sandbar on which his steamboat Reu-
tan grounded over 400 feet from the
shore line.
Little by little the lake threw up
earth until there was 1S6 acres of solid
ground, where sixteen years ago there
was nothing but water. Streeter stay
ed on the sandbar and watched the
growth, aiding it wherever and when
ever he could, all the time laying claim
to the accretion. His title to the prop
erty was of course disputed and with
growing vehemence as it gained in
value. The made land is near the
heart of the city on the North side and
is today worth millions of dollars and
scores of PEOPLE assert ownership to it,
Strangely through all these years Of
fierce warfare in courts, both civil and
criminal, not until few days ago was

STORY OF MUGGY MUGGLNS.
By Himself Chicago Chronicle with Apologies to Mary aoLne

April 15-Happiness I have found
out of two kinds-and both are but Of
short duration. Both brands are as
elusive as an eel in melted butter
Neither one remains as long as a book
agent when you are in hurry.
In the first place there is the happi-
ness that comes when you first order
up the suds. AS the cool, refreshing
stuff slides down your parched throat
a sudden warmth seems to pervade
your whole being and happiness
comes over you.
I canot describe it.
You cannot describe it.
But it gets there just the same. This
happiness l identify with that of a pig
wallowing in a fine, large, well-churn-
ed mud puddle.
1t is so comfortable.
1t is SO delightfully."- delicious.
1t is just real nice, so there nowi
But there is the great still happi-
ness that comes to you after you are
all in. Then is that unspeakable joy.
After you have fallen under the table,
the lights are dim and the other COM
panions have taken the big sneak.
What more in all this world is there to
wish for? What greater, deeper joy
can there be in all the world than to
lie under the table in the sawdust,
your only companions the affectionate
little flies, and the only noise the sound
of your snoring?
The happiness is beyond anything
known to science and to the volupt-
uary. 1t throws all other joy away
back on the last seat under the bal
cony. 1t makes the reddest bliss look
pale and wan. 1t looms up beside the
happiness of other events like dia-
mond alongside doughnut. 1t looks
like real country cream beside the blue
milk of a Chicago dairy.
Such joy as that comes not to the
many.
1t takes too much dough. 800.
1t is like a rag-time selection sung
by vaudeville artist. There is some
thing in it beyond words to tell.
It is like a coon song sung by coon
song artist of the most approved type.
But the words pounded out on a
typewriter fail to convey one iota of

RELIC HUNTERS IN DISGRACE.

Relic hunting, always due to some
form of insanity, was never carried to
more revolving lengths than when the
body Of Harry Tracy, the suicide out
law, was hauled through the streets
of Davenport, Wash. 1t is stated that
when the remains were deposited
in the morgue the crowd broke in and
took away bit by bit every stitch of
the dead mans clothing, even down to
the blood-stained handkerchief, with
vent bleeding to death. The bloody
strap which the bandit had drawn
tightly around his leg to stanch the
flow from the severed artery was also
seized and cut into small pieces. Nor
did the crazy Washingtonians stop
here. With a pair of sheep shears
they shipped" locks of hair from the
dead mans head until it was wholly
bald in spots.
1t is difficult to divine what is run
ming through the heads of men when
they commit acts of vandalism of SO
horrible character, and it is still more
difficult to believe that officers in
charge should permit of deeds so awful
as to appall humanity. Bad as Harry
Tracy was he did not deserve such
treatment from fellow men who have
had the advantages of twentieth CEN
fury civilization.

THE CORONATION.

King Edward Of England, in his re-
cent proclamation. declared that he re-
garded his forthcoming coronation as
an event Of sacred Importance. How
ever seriously the statement is to be
TAKEN it is quite evident that the peo-
pie over whom Edward rules regards
his coronation as a great event
However much or little of historic
truth there be in the statement that
Thomas Jefferson tied his horse to
the White house ratings and proceeded
on foot to take the oath of Office, it is
certain that the third president of the
United States sought to give emphasis
on the occasion of his installation to his
conviction that pomp and public dis
play over the event did not comport
mentS of such an occasion.
Within the past one hundred years
there has been something Of a change
of the point of view from which this
people regard the Inauguration of their
chief magistrate. Then the occasion
was celebrated throughout the country
as an event of surprising national i'm
portance. Now it is attended each sue
cessive occasion by more and more of
the pomp and circumstance which until
recent years we were wont to regard
as more BETTING monarchial govern
ments.
The formal Inauguration of Eng
lands king is not, we are told, a con-
stitutional requirement The laws of
succession operate to make the heir
apparent the actual ruler. Why, then,
all the spectacular show of yesterday
in London? Human kind have always
shown their readiness to yield to the
influence of outward show. Kings and
emperors have since their first appear
ance in the world done what King Ed
ward has done; and the multitude have
stood open-mouthed to watch the
scene.
All the military and civic pageant
visible on London's streets during the
past twenty-four hours cuts no figure
whatever with men who are concerned
in the serious events of life and do not
allow themselves to be diverted by the
foolish glamor which attends them.
The gaping mob, the Industrious shop
keepers and the retainers of the court
all have great concern in such DISPLAY:
but the world passes it by, and takes
ultimately as little account of it as the
American observer does of the gyra-

END OF THE AMEs REGIME.

The events of the past week or ten
days in Minneapolis are now certain
to operate in bringing to close one Of
the most distressing situations ever re-
vealed in the history of American mu-
nicipal government. The resignation
of Mayor Ames is now actually in the
hands of the municipal authorities. His
brother, the chief of police, under
whose administration so much of in
fanny was revealed, is out of Office, and
with him have disappeared, apparently
forever, the worst of the band of cor
ruptionists so long in control in Mime
apolis.
The whole municipal system estab-
lished under Mayor Ames has literally
dissolved by force of it's own helpless
corruption, and those who survive Mayor
Ames and his brother in the direction
of municipal affairs have shown by
their conduct within the past few days
that city government in that commu-
nifty will soon reach normal conditions.
The exhibition which is thus given of
the ability of the people of Minneapolis
to bring to prompt ending a condi-
ton involving both danger and disgrace
to the municipality is worthy of the
highest praise. If it were not attended,
as it has been, by the practice of indi-
vidual politics, it would be still more
commendable in itself. The end of the
Anes family in the public service has
been reached. The people of Mime
apolis have had taught to them bitter
lesson. If they have taken this lesson
really to heart there is no possibility
that in the future they will be disposed
to fly in the face of all political expert
ence by selecting. as they did, at their
last city election, class of men to
control in the administration of their
municipal affairs whom years of ex-
perience had shown to be utterly lost
to all understanding of public morals
or public responsibility.

TRIRuTETo A MINNEsoTAN.

The people of Kansas are preparing
to pay j. v. Brewer, the distinguished
Minnesota explorer, a graceful, unusual
and deserved tribute on Tuesday by
erecting monument to him for his re-
discovery of the old Spanish village of
Quivira and the adjoining province of
Harahey, first discovered by Coronado
in 1541.
For three and half centuries the
point at which Europeans made the
discovery of the Missouri basin re-
manned an enigma. In 1896 and 1897
Mr.. Brewer made a careful study of the
region around the junction Of the Re-
publican and Smoky Hill rivers and
found evidence of an indisputable char
acter that the Spaniards settled at that
point in 1541.
An obelisk of polished granite, on
an axled granite die, with native lime
stone base, has been set up at Logan
Grove, Kansas valley, three miles from
Junction City. To the celebration 1000
invitations have been issued by Capt.
Robert Henderson, one of Kansas lead
ing men. Among those who will de-
liver addresses are Profs. Warren Up
ham and N. H. Winchell of Minnesota.
