WOULD MAKE BAGS.
WARDEN HENRY WANTS A JUTE
MILL.
Thinks Making Bags Better and More
Profitable Occupation for His Prison
ers Than Breaking Rocks.

Hawaii ought to make her own sugar
bags, say some of those who have
studied the question and Warden Hem
ry of oahu prison would like to estab-
lish a jute mill, to provide more pro-
htable employment for the Convicts.
Henry is of the opinion that it would
pay much better to employ prisoners
here making bags than TO have them
breaking rock.
The prisoners now who work at ALL
are employed I'm the quarries. They do
a good deal in the way Of assisting in
street improvements, but it is hard
work, aud some prisoners cannot be
put to it.
IF our men were employed i'm making
bags we could probably sell them right
here to the sugar plantations" said
Henry "and we should not be employ
ing our convicts i'm competition with
any private enterprise. We should only
be i'm competition with state prisons Of
California and oregon, where thousands
of bags are made. Hawaii imports all
the bags used here, and it is not likely
that there will ever be successful pri-
vate mills running here i'm view of the
competition it would have to meet from
the prisons of the Pacific coast
The matter is one that will be urged
when the legislature meets again. 1t
is claimed that a bag mill prison would
be a considerably better source of re-
venue than the rOck-breaking and at
the same time the planters might get
bags cheaper. Warden Henry has long
had the idea in mind, and says he
wanted it brought up in the last Legis-
lature, but that body of lawmakers was
not giving attention to such matters,
and would probably not have had time
to do anything. Henry will, however,
make a recommendation on the subject
now, and the next Legislature will have
a chance to go into the subject. There
would have to be some outlay in ma
chinery for the establishment of a mill,
but when it was once in operation
Henry would be able to employ all pri-
soners according to their ability, and
the public street work, which is regard
ed by many penologists as undesirable
could be abolished

Cunning THE KAHUNA
WILL PERFORM PUBLIC MIND
READING.
To Emulate Washington Bishop on
Monday Afternoon-Will Drive
Blindfolded to Hidden Objects.

Honolulu will, on Monday afternoon
have an exhibition. of thought reading,
mind transference, mental telepathy
or whatever individuals may care 10
call it, given openly by Cunning the
Magician, now on a world tour ana
playing at the opera house. The eX-
hibition will recall the marvels that
astonished the town when presented oy
Washington Bishop in the time of good
King Kalakaua.
AT $3.50 Monday afternoon Gun
ming with the smartest equipage that
he can command locally, will drive Jp
to the Wall, Nichols store where, from
the assembled crowd, he will choose a
committee of people apparently cap
able of concentration, choosing prob
ably from the business men of the
community. The selected ones mar
rowed down to a final selection of four,
Cunning will be blindfOlded and the
quartet, leaving him behind, will &C.
into his rig and driving in turns, hide
in some attainable place some object
agreed upon between them. on theh
return Cunning, with coat and hat off,
the strain being arduOus, Will take the
Teins while each of the committee takes
hold a copper wire attached to the
hOodWinlng handkerchief around the
magicians forehead and concentrate
their thought upon the object hidden
blindfOlded, the magician will drive as
rapidly through the streets as the au-
thOrities will allow corners and posst-
BILE Instructions being supposedly COM
municated to him by telepathy, and
make straight for the hidden object
whether a key in some bank vault or a
pin thrust up to the head in the wall
! behind some office calendar, anything
that the committee select and hide ne
will infallibly find with despatch and
accuracy.
The strain is a terrible one and Cum
ming is usually exhausted after his ef-
forts. To those who say that he cam
! not accomplish the feats come notiC-s
from the last town in which he per-
/ formed it, Provo, Utah. where the be-
/ levers in the occult arts and all the
ladies who delight in spiritual seanccs
almost mObbed Cunning with requests
for him to read their past and future
and exercise all his power Of diVinu-
| tion. His professions of merely having
accomplished a sNantifc problem
caused them to think him disobligin6.
The native element here will doubt
less esteem Cunning a kahuna of the
highest possible rank and seroug
thinkers will catch a glimpse Of future
possibilities along the lines of wave cur
rents telepathy wireless telegraphy
and thought communication. Cunning
Is always anxious to secure the hard
headed business men Of the community
to assist him I'm his experiment which
calls for the exercise of superior IN
telligence from all hands. Half past
three will see King street temporarily
blocked on Monday afternoon by those
who remember Washington Bishop and
the general pOpulace.

king" GOING HOME.ONE LICENSE EACHI
GOVERNORS POLICY REGARDING
SALOONS.
Opposed TO Allowing one Man or Firm
to Hold More Than One liz
cense.

If Governor Dole has his way there
will soon be a number of local saloons
closed or transfer red, it is stated. The
executive is opposed to allow gg one
man or firm to hold more than one
license, and when the dates for renew
ais come up he will oppose such renew
ais, wnere many licenses are held Dy
one man or firm.
The governors position is said to
have been taken partly as a means of
reducing the number of saloons i'm the
city. The matter was discussed yeste e.
day in the Executive Council, and tic
there are many applicants for licenses,
he is not in favor of allowing one man
o.. firm to hold several
Treasurer Wright, however, has the
control of the license business, within
the limits agreed upon between the
governor and him, and he may not fall
in line with the governors position.
Wright has just granted two more IL
Censes for local saloons making the
number in the city o. The matter Of
renewing a license is in his hands,
though such questions are usually
brought up in the council meetings.
OF the q licenses out, four are in
the name of j. c. Rothwell of Peacock
& Company and two others are known
as Peacock places, all managed by the
same firm. Nacfarlane and company
are also credited with having several
two of them being the Hawaiian Hotel
and Waikiki Annex while one of Pea
cocks is~the MOana Hotel. None Of
them will expire for some time except
the MOana, which is not a saloon and
does not come within the governor s
new policy.

GREGG AND FAMILY TO LEAVE
FOR TANNING.
Will Sail on Emma Claudina Tomorrow
For Pacific Mome-vessel Carries
Cargo of Coal.

King" Gregg Of Tanning Island will
leave tomorrow for his Island kingdom
He will be accompanied by Mrs. Gregg
and family. Gregg has chartered the
little three masted schooner Emma
Claudina for the trip and she will take
rather an odd cargo for such an out
of the way place.
The little vessel is now loaded wi i.h
29O tons of coal which is intended for
King Gregg's coal yards on the island.
There is little If any demand for this
coal by the residents of the island, but
i'm taking the coal Gregg displays quite
a christian spirit. II is not for his own
use but to be kept in case of possible
emergency.
often British and other steamers
touch at Tanning Island Frequently
they are i'm need of coal. Mr.. Gregg
proposes to keep a small supply on hand
so that he can provide any vessel which
might be i'm imperative need of coal
with sufficient to take them to the near
est regular coaling station. In addi-
ton to the coal, the schooner will carry
considerable supplies for the residents
of the island.
The vessel will load cOpra from Fan
ming and deliver the stuff at San Fran
cisco. Gregg and family came here on
the SOnOma February II. He had gone
to the Fiji Islands on some business and
after concluding it boarded the steamer
and came to this port to take the school,
ner home.

A GASOLINE FAMTNE
ONLY A FEW CASES NOW FOR
SALE IN TOWN
Two Ships Both three weeks out Bring
ing Several Hundred Cases to Relieve
The Stringency.

There has been a gasoline famine in
town for the past two or three weeks,
one of the two firms which carry this
commodity being completely out of 1t
while the other was obliged TO modify
all orders and is practically down to
the last case.
The trouble lies in the fact that the
ships are loath to take the intiamable
cargo while they can get any other
preferring to carry provisions and other
articles until they are absolutely forced
into carrying gasoline or nothing. Even
now the stringency is not actually re-
lieved although both the Pacific Hard
ware and y. O. Hall and Sons have sew
eral cases now on the way here.
The Pacific Hardware company which
has completely run out OF their stock
has now several hundred cases con-
signed to them on the Coronado, now
twenty one days out on her way here
while e. O. Hall & Son has four hun
dred cases also on board a vessel just
the same number of days out from the
coast No one is allowed meanwhile to
buy more than a case or two at the
utmost of the fluid and there will be no
chance of making any corner on 1t by
enterprising spectators
