RAZOR WIELDER
CUTS A PAIR

Two men and woman, all negroes,
figured in a razor cutting ARRAY yester-
day afternoon, shortly after 1 o'clock, in
a small room in the rear of the saloon
on the makai- Waikiki corner of Hotel
and Nuuanu streets, in which one ne
gro received a bad slash on the back
of his neck and the woman a deep cut
on one of her hands. Several stitches
were taken in the neck wound.
The man behind the razor is the
husband of the woman. whom he found
in the second colored mans company.
The slasher had waited for this oppor-
tunity for some time, having warned
the woman that she would have to
suffer the consequences if she was
found with the second negro. The hus-
band caught the pair unawares, and
before either could defend themselves.
they had received dangerous cuts. The
police investigated the affair, and
complaint may be filed against the
razor user today.

The japanese consul at Honolulu will
bring to the attention of the japanese
Minister at Washington the recent ac-
ton of the Collector of Customs against
the japanese owners of fishing sam
pans who are alleged to have violated
the navigation laws by,using flare lights
on their boats at night in the track of
channel to the harbor it being claimed
that they menace the safety of ships
and passengers. The matter will prob
ably go forward on the next steamer 10
the Coast.
The police officers are not fully
convinced that they have no right to
exercise police powers in and beyond
the channel, nor that they violate the
law by patrolling the waters claimed by
Collector Stackable to be under Federal
control. Chester Doyle, the detective
who recently began the crusade on be-
half of the police department against
the sampan lights, made the following
statement yesterday:
These japanese were arrested on
January 6. There were about twenty
of them, and 1 acted under Instructions
were made within a radius of two to
three hundred yards from the mouth
of the channel. The lights on the boat
we chartered were never extingu1shed
in the channel, but the red and green
lights were extinguished when we got
outside. The lights were kept trimmed
and ready on an instant's notice, to De
lighted again and displayed. We kept
ships lanterns, concealed under tar

The Celebration of the
Holiday Is Uni

Pendant lines of flame, from which
shot bursting crackers as the fire ate

plosions and the glare of changing fires

betokened that last midnight t6ad deep
meaning to the OrientaIs, who were in
their own way celebrating the entrance
of their new year. And wherever in
the world there lives a Chinese this day
of all others is sacred to merrymak-
ing, for it is his only holiday
When the hour of midnight came the
people had made ready for the celebra-
ton by the cleaning, the furnishing and
the draping of the shops and residences.
As the hour struck from hundreds of
houses, on the porches. on the sidewalks
and from every point of vantage the
salute of noises began. There was a
continuation of the saluting for couple
ing, each in his own house, the good
wishes of his family.
There will be less of the open house
in connection with the present celebra-
ton of the new year, but what the days
doings lack in open-handed hospitality
will be made up in the heartiness, for
no matter if a Chinese has only one
plate of fruit it is divided with his
friend. The principal firms of China

The largest of the functions
will be the reception of the United
Chinese Societies at the hall of the or

anu. While there will be no luncheon
served as is customary, there will be
a gathering of the principal merchants
and the ceremonies will be made as
impressive as possible
President c. K. All, Ng King Yam, |

with an open reception at
which President Chu Gem will be as

The decorat lions of the stores and

Joe Rothenbere Gets
a Heavy Fine
Yesterday. j

Joe Rothenberg the Alameda's bar
Der, was convicted in the police court
yesterday afternoon before Judge Will
cox on the charge of assisting and
maintaining lottery, the Little Lou
isiana Lottery" of San Francisco. The
Judge figured out that Rothenberg's
offense was worth $500 and costs to the
Territory, and fined him in that
amount.
In sentencing Rothenberg, Judge Will
cox said:
THE Federal government has prohip-
tied the sending of lottery tickets
through the mails, and every man in
the country knows it is wrong to deal
in them. Certainly a man cannot be
well informed if he has not known 1t
is wrong to have them. Our law pro-
vides steep penalty. I don't think you
told the exact truth when you said you
did not know anything about this lot

tickets were genuine. If you did not
know that you were handling a lottery
scheme, then you deliberately came
here TO sell the tickets to a lot or
suckers. You were evidently pretty
sure of what you would do with the
tickets. This lottery has assumed pref
ty large proportions in this community
II know a number of young men in
this town have been feeling pretty I'M
comfortable in the last twenty-four
hours. Why, I had to instruct my ser
want at home last evening to say when
the door bell rang, The Judge is not at
home this evening" 1 will have to put
a fine on you that will be a lesson and
a warning to others. I think this is a |
strong case. and 1 fine you $500 and |
allows, SO 1 don't think you can say it !
is excessive
When the cases of Rothenberg. Joa-
quin Silva and w. L. Disney were call
ed up yesterday forenoon, the court |
room was crowded. The case of Silva !
was first called. In the complaint Silva !
was charged with selling tickets of the
Little Louisiana Lottery" but when
the bundle of tickets found in his pos
session was produced in evidence 1t was
found they were tickets of the "Bene-
ficia Publica Co." although issued by
the same company. The case was then
nolle pressed and new charge entered
against Silva
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth con-
Quoted the prosecution, and exercised
skill in the handling of the
cases, which were full of technical OBJ
structions.
Joaquin Silva was also convicted in
the afternoon on the same charge as
was preferred against Rothenberg, and
was assessed a fine of $500 and costs.
An appeal was noted.
Disney was fined $50 and costs for
having lottery tickets in his possession,
and paid $50 into the police court money

1t is said that other charges will be
preferred against Silva. Rothenberg
