HIROTA GETS
THREE YEARS

Judge Estee this morning sentenced
H. Hirota to pay a fine of $500 and
serve three years Imprisonment and he
rubbed 1t in" by ordering that the
money with which the defendant at
tempted to bribe officers of the court be
applied on the payment of the fine.
HirotO was found guilty of importing a
woman for unlawful purposes
How it is that l was convicted?" and
What will become of the woman?"
were all Hiroto had to say when asked
If he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him, The
limit under the law is 5 years and a
fine of $4,000.
a motion for new trial was argued
by Cathcart and Breckons before SEN
tence was passed. 1t was based large
ly on an instruction given to the jury
to the effect that the failure OF the de-
fendant TO call his wife as a witness
Warranted a presumption that her evil
dence would have been against him.
Judge Estee said he was not entirely
sure of his position, but would not or
der a new trial. An appeal was noted.
The bribe- money may be the subject
of a contest, as Hiroto assigned 1t
while it was in possession of the oOurt
and 1t Is claimed that II cannot there
fore be applied on his fine.

HOFFMAN WILL CUT
NO MORE ICE

This mortgage has not been foreclosed
in any way but Mr.. Hoffman simply
sold ont his interest to Mr.. Dreier.
The latter is a large stOckholder in
the HtWai.an Electric Company, an or
ganiZation which is also in the business
of manufacturing ice. 1t has been said
for some time past that the town was
not large enough to support two rival
ice companies. And in consequence Of
the cost of maintaining two companies
the profits of the ice manufacturers
have oeen reduced to practically nota-
ing.
Those who claim to be posted think
that tie purchase of Mr.. Hoffman's in
terest by Mr.. Dreier means that more
cordial understanding has been or IS
about to be reached between the two
companies and steps may be takcn
whereby they may make the ice busi-
ness more profitable than it has been
in the past.
Some think ice may go up.

BOOZE FALLS
AS SUGAR DID
WHAT MAKES
A GUEST ?
MUST HE BE "A BOARDER OR
UODGER TO GET A DRINK ON
SUNDAY?

Senator Dickey made quite an elab-
crate report for the Miscellaneous Com
mittee on Senate Bill No. 81, the gem
eral liquor license bill. The House
made number of amendments most
of which the committee approved.
There We're some repetitions and omis-
sion committee a conference commit
many respects, and in the belief of the
committee tempted a veto by the Gov
ernor. The committee recommended a
conference with the House on the bill.
The report was adopted and at that
moment word was received from the
House that it had appointed it's revi-
sion committee and conference commit
tee and wanted a conference at once
On motion of Isenberg the Senate Re
vision Committee with j. T. Brown and
j. d. Paris added, was appointed con-
ference committee, and the Senate took
a recess for twenty minutes while the
two conference COMMITTEES met
On of the items of Senator Dickey's
report was in regard to the provision
permitting hotels to sell liquor TO
guests on Sunday and providing that
one might be a guest though neither
a boarder nor lodger. The report said
that it was so difficult to see how one
could be a guest of a hotel who was
neither a boarder nor a lodger, that
that alone would warrant a conference.

RUSH WORK
IN THE HOUSE
EVEN THE MINUTES ARE NOT
BILLS GOES MERRILY ON.

Without reading it's minutes the
House this morning took up the order
of the day and proceeded with the pas
sage of bills on third reading with the
intent to approve minutes before mid
night tonight. Waiving of readings in
Hawaiian was the rule and work went
on with a rush.
The insurance bill passed without
dissent and the bill to provide for
digest of Hawaiian Supreme court re-
ports was taken up. Kaniho opposed
it, saying he had not had a copy, and
that his constituents expected him to
examine all bills. He also thought
that the bill should provide for printing
reports in Hawaiian. No one seconded
KanihO's motion to indefinitely post
pone and the bill passed by a vote of 20
to Z.
The Senate bill to reorganize the mi
litia passed with q votes in it's favor.
The bill to regulate the practice of
pharmacy and sale of poisons came
next and 1T passed by % votes, without
a word of discussion, only the English
version being read
Kaniho started a somewhat lengthy
discussion when the bill to exempt
property of the Kona-Kau Railway
Company from taxation. He opposed
the bill and was backed up by hala-
ma and Pail, but the bill had is votes
and passed third reading.
The bill to amend several sections in
order to insert the words "chief engi-
neer Of the fire department" in place
of the words fire marshal" was pass
ed. Kaniho again voted a lonely no"
The bill to provide for a commission
to hear the claims of British subjects
and others, for damages for imprison-
ment after the revolution of '95 was
taken up in Committee of the Whole
with Andrade in the chair. Long NOV
ed an amendment providing that the
President of the United States, instead
of the Governor of the Territory, shall
appoint the commission. He said that
Governor Dole was an interested party
in 1895 and ought not to have the
choosing of the commissioners. Long
also wanted to provide that the chair
man of the commission be a jurist of
repute and that no person should be
eligible to the position who was a resi-
dent of the islands before July T. 1898.
The amendments were defeated.

10 CENT DRINKS
ARE In
SIGHT
The AmericanizatiOn" of Ha-.
wall Goes on ApaCe-Hard
Times Are Affecting The
Drink Market,

The AmericanizatiOn of the country
proceeds apace, and an important new
step is about to be taken, according to
a well defined rumor There is moth
ing less than a cut in the price OF
booze, 70 make Honolulu rates the same
as those of the Mainland. Whisky at
ten cents a glass is promised after the
first Of May, and the prospective cut is
causing alarm among those in the re-
tail liquor business. With Sunday
baseball it is a strong American"
combination, at least of the west.
Hard times have affected the Homo
lulu cocktail routes, and the saloon
men are wondering how to revive the
old time trade. One Hotel street
saloonman is quoted as having an
nounced that he would make a ten
cent rate for all straight" drinks after
May l, asking twelve and a half cents
for mixtures.
1t is said that such a cut would put
several places out of business, as the
number of saloons has much Increased
during the past years, and some have
only been able to keep up by the high
charges. The report of a coming cut
in rates therefore causes a lot Of un-
easiness among the liquor men. If the
out comes there will be a struggle for
existence, with the popular places win
ming out and the others going to the
wall.
Some time ago the threatened cut
was started, when the Hawaiian Hotel
reduced rates to fifteen cents. At once
several downtown saloons met the cut,
but a meeting of the retailers was call
ed, and all agreed not to reduce prices,
with the result that the places which
had met the Hotel rate put back their
prices to % cents.

THE CLOSING
SCENES
BILLS RAPIDLY BEING SENT TO
THE GOVERNOR BUT BANY DIE
UNCONSIDERED.

At midnight tonight the second Ter
ritorial legislature of Hawaii ends It's
regular session, and so far there has
been 10 expression from the Governor
warranting an expectation of an eX-
tension OF the session. While there is
a vast accumulation of business in the
House which cannot be disposed of
there are no very vital measures left,
and as a special session for appropria-
tions appears to be necessary anyhow,
the present session is expected to end
at midnight.
In the House this morning the MEM
Ibers started work with the idea of do
ing all they could during the hours
that were left. The Senate, with its
calendar fairly cleared, took a recess
to allow it's malt license conference
committee to meet the House Commit
tee, and the House excused its print
ing and enrolment committee in order
that the committee might meet with
the Senate committee and prepare bills
as fast as possible for submission to
the Governor.
The Governor was handed several
bills the first thing in the morning, and
score of them will be in his hands by
the time the adjournment comes, If the
expected rapid work is done. The Long
municipal bill did not get to him this
morning. Tt is the most important
measure left in his hands and 1t is gen.
orally thought to be in line for a veto.
This afternoon and evening the
House has a calendar much too large
for the time at it's disposal. There are
bills enough on third reading to- occu-
py several days, but many will have to
be abandoned. There are several spe-
cial committee reports, some of them
ordered wee5s ago, which have not yet
seen the light of day and some of which
never will. Among them is that of the
committee appointed when Kumalae
introduced his resolution of want of
confidence in Deputy Auditor Meyers.
also the report of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the various re-
ports of bribery and grating"
The last thing in the House will
be the approval of minutes and the
House has two days minutes to go
over, having begun work this morning
without approving the minutes of yes
terday. The session will therefore
probably last till very late and per-
haps it may be necessary to follow pre-
cedents and turn back the clock. An
arrangement has been made for the
taking of a fashlight picture al the
time of final adjournment.

UNDER THE RUSSIAN FLAG

SAN FRANCISCO. Aprn 1S.-An-
other change is in store for the steamer
Manauense, well known here and some
times referred to as the chameleon of
the Pacific. The Manauense has been
British, American, Mexican. British
again, and now is to go to Vladivostok
to become Russian, with the name Ma
dejda painted on her bows. If the
name in Russian characters is any
easier to read than the name Bering.
possessed by the well known barkentine-
that trades between this port and Sibe-
ria, it would be interesting to note. But
the Manauense is a stanch and sea-
worthy vessel and her frequent change
of flag and ownership is only one of the
incidents growing out of the rush of
steamers to this Coast few years ago.
She is now on Puget sound, and is to
sail thence for Vladivostok next week.

NEW SCHEME FOR THE FIRE CLAIMS.

Treasury Agent McLennan wants re-
ceipts in fun from every claimant and
if they will accept the two thirds cash
and one-third in the form of sort of
lien on the bonds, the payments can
be made as soon as the details are ar
ranged.
Secretary Carter has made some
carefully figured tables showing the
pro rata amounts due claimants and
the complete statement desired by Nc
Lehman will very soon be ready.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-04-28

The latest plan for settling the fire
claims problems is to have the claim
ants agree to accept two-thirds in cash
approximately, and the other third in
certificate showing that the holder is
entitled to such sum as the other third
amounts to, from the proceeds of the
sales of fire claims bonds, when such
sales are made. A meeting of the
holders of awards may be called to get
their consent to this plan.

CHANCE FOR
SHIPPING MEN
WILL INVITE BIDS
FOR TRANSPORTING SOLDIERS
AND SUPPLIES.

WASHINGTON April 1S.-The War
Department is preparing instructions
which will be sent out in few days
directing quartermasters on the Pacific
Coast to advertise for bids for trans
porting troops and supplies to the Phi
lippines. Contracts will be made for
one year beginning July 1st next. At
that time the present contract with the
Boston Steamship Company of Seattle
will expire.
1t was Secretary Roots desire that
the departments should be empowered
to make contracts over term of years,
but Congress failed to give such au-
thority and made no change in the
existing law except to direct the Secre-
tary of War not to discontinue the
transport service nor dispose of the
transports without authority of Con-
gress.
Contractors will be invited to submit
bids for transportation from San Fran
cisco, Portland or Seattle. 1t is said
at the Department that the probable
result of the advertising will be a con-
tract to continue the transportation of
fodder and certain other material from
Puget Sound or Portland without af-
fecting the Government transport sys-
TEN at San Francisco. If there is a
move on foot by the Hartman interests
to submit a bid for handling the entire
transport business out of San Fran
cisco or by the Hill interests to do the
entire business from Seattle the de-
partment is apparently not aware of it.
An officer said today that it was eX
tremely unlikely that any Pacific
Coast interest would submit such a
bid as a one years contract could not
be executed with profit.

Alexandria,. Minn.,s April 2O.--In the
township of Leaf Valley in Douglas county
there lives an eccentric old man named
Adam Schley. who claims to be. and with
out doubt is,:.an uncle, of the famous ad-
miral who was lately the honored guest Of
Minneapolis At first it strikes one as
very strange that while the nephew is so
distinguished and so well known the
uncle pursues the humble profession of
veterinary. surgeon in a secluded part. Of
this state. But after a little reflection one
recognizes the fact that in view of the
peculiar nature of democratic institutions
this state of things is the most natural in
the world.
Schley lives very quietly sometimes at
the house of one farmer; sometimes at the
house of another and is always welcome
Wherever he may appear. He has not had
much communication with the other mem
bers of his family for some time. Shortly
after the civil war dissatisfied with the
adjustment Of his fathers property, he
left home and coming west, engaged in
trading in and doctoring horses.
Owing to the circumstances under which
which he left home he did not keep up a
correspondence with his brothers and SIS
ters, but q short time ago when his nep-
hew's fame recalled to him memories OF
the old home he made visit to his ma
tive state. He travelled incogntto, and
tho his sisters recognized him he refused
to acknowledge that he was their brother
Adam.
1t is said that he went as far as Wash
1ngton in order to look into the face OF
his nephew the admiral, but even then
did not make himself known but was
satisfied to come away he went.
Old Adam is very proud of the admira
but he does not wish for any reflected
glory and is well satisfied with his owr
reputation for probity and good natured
worth among his own ,neighbors.
