FROM WAIKIKI
TO BROADWAY

One of the most interesting of the
way to Will away the summer
months in this city is William Levers,
who came to town a few weeks ago.
The stage has recruited many actress
es from society, but it is seldom that
men in the full enjoyment of the So
cial whirl take to the histrionic pro-
fession Those that do, like the So
ciety women that are lured by the
footlights' glare, are impelled by the
bread-winning motive, but William
Levers was not influenced by mate
realistic considerations. He is the son
of Robert LEVERS the millionaire
shipping merchant of Honolulu, and
he enjoys the approval of his father
in "a that he does, for he is sensible
and cultured young man. He is of
the artistic temperament, and he felt
that the stage offered the most suita-
BILE vehicle for his talents. That he
was not mistaken is evident from the
rapid progress he has made during
the few years that have elapsed since
he made his debut in this city with
the Frawleys. That was in the days
when Blanche Bates and Frank Wor-
thing were the stars of the organiza-
ton. During the last few seasons he
was one of the most popular of Froh-
mans leading juveniles. He made a
most pronounced hit in the support of
Annie Russell, and next season he is
to essay the role of leading man with
Bertha GaIland in Dorothy Vernon"
Though Miss Galland is comparative
ly unknown to local theatre goers she
is one of the reigning Broadway IA
vorites. Mr.. Levers is prominent
of the Lambs Club of New
York and of the Bohemian Club, in
which he has spent great deal of
his time since his return to this city.
He is at the Occidental with his faith
ar. The Levers residence at Waikiki
beach in Honolulu is one of the most
beautiful homes in the Hawaiian !

substance obtained by distillation from

nous 1t is often mixed with gaso-
line for purposes OF commerce. and in
that state it is more infamma bic than
in its pure state. but in the present case
it is admitted to be pure"
In discussing whether the words the
Component part" apply 10 a substance
the whole of which is spirits of tur-
pentine. it is remarked: This language
is found substantially the same nine
times in this and the next six sections.
Apparently its use was intentional if
not felicitous." After further discus
sion it is held: This is a penal statute
and must be strictly construed. If the
Legislature intended to include pure
spirits of turpentine in the description
in question, it did not sufficiently ex-
press its intention. And the law of the
case is thus set forth in the syllabus:
Penal statutes are strictly construed.
In a statute which prescribes that no
one shall store in certain places more
than one case of naphtha and one case
of benzole, nor more than ten cases of
petroleum, kerosene oil or any oil of
which the component part is petroleum,
naphtha, or spirits of turpentine," the
words ANY oil of which the component
part is petroleum." etc, are held not
to include oils which consist entirely
of petroleum, etc.

living on other peoples money on
Saturday and as a consequence ran
afoul of the police. Last Saturday
Courtney expressed a determination
to go to the city, so a number of
Japanese employees of the station en-
trusted their salary warrants to him
to be cashed. This much he did
promptly, and as a result found HIM
self with something over $500 in his
possession. This was too much for
him and he started out for a good
time. First he attended the baseball
game and to his sorrow dropped $175
in backing the Elks. After the game
he came down town and finally ended
up at a place on Queen street near
the Opera Annex saloon. Here he
proceeded to rid himself of the re-
mainder of his money which seemed
to cucumber his person. Once he
threw a bag of money on the floor

 If vour journalist knows everything so much the better, but there is so much to know nowadays, that It Is admitted thai no one may any longer aspire, as Ba- oo, did to make all knowledge his own. Mir pu1itzer is about to spend money In the hope of giving young men such special training as may best fit them to become Journalists What Is especially desirable that they should know?
 There are two chief branches of the newspaper business: Making the paper, and selling it. We take it for granted that tho new school of journalism will concern itself with the editorial side Its gradu- ates must have learned how to write.

 It Is hard to imagine better school of storytelling than every good newspaper keeps for its young reporters.
