An Auburn man was awakened one
night last week. by flames tickling the
soles of his feet. and found his bed on
fire and the room filled with smoke. He
tried to smother the blaze by rolling up
the bed clothes, but this act only caused
the fire to break out anew. He next
tried to open a window, but it was
frozen down. Nearly overcome by
smoke he broke out the glass and threw
the burning bedding out onto the snow.
The man has been accustomed to TAX
ing u soapstone to bed with him and
followed out his usual custom. that
night. The stone was so hot that it
burned downward through the feather
bed and mattress and upward through
the sheets blankets and Comforters.
The man feels thankful that he awoke
when he did. as he probably would have
sufOcated and been burned to death if
he had slept a minute longer. The
Prince of Hades will have a Job on his
hands If this man is punished by fire
and birthstone said an Auburn man

Koseki the alleged murderer, for
whom the police had been searching
ever since the killing of Suyemoto,

paper that the police wanted him so
he would surrender himself. He adj

Some witnesses have also been found

Suyemoto to come on and fight. Both
men went into the room, a scufhe was
heard and Koseki came out Suye

is said that the killing is thought to
have originated over the fact that Ko-

REVLVES DISPENSARY Scheme.
HOFGAARD OF KAUAI QUESTION
SAYS A MAJORITY PEOPLE WANT A DRINK AND THEN
AND ARE ENTITLED SHOULD


Judge G. b. Hofgaard of Kauai has
an article i'm the Garden Island adj
vocating the establishment of the dis
pensary system of liquor sales in Ha-
wall. 1t sets forth results of his in
designations as follows:
1T has come to my mind that the
present time is opportune for doing
something about the liquor-traffic i'm
this Territory so as to have it better
under control. I have studied this
problem for some twelve or fifteen
years tried to arrange a system for
getting the Objectionable features as
much as possible out of the business.
1 have settled certain points i'm my own
mind:
1.-The majority of the people want
a drink of alcoholic nature at times.
"2.-The majority of the people are
entitled to such a drink as long as
they do not abuse the privilege.
"3.-The majority of the people are
entitled to get drink near home or at
their home and of as good quality as
possible.
4-That the unrestricted drinking of
alcoholic drinks is injurious to the per-
son. detrimental to the family and a
menace TO public safety.
"5.-That the sale of other articles
endangering the private individual
and society is put under restrictions.
"6-That total prohibition cannot be
carried through successfully.
THAT local option is not always
the true desire of the people.
"S.-That high license is a failure.
"9-That there are enormous profits
in the liquor business.
'10.--That what is called moderate
drinking impoverishes the nation.
"11.-That the saloon in politics is
menace to good government.
'12.--That lot of injurious liquor is
sold, and that the quality should be
put under control.
Ga That the police force is slack
and not in accord with the movement
of regulating the sale of liquor.
"14.-That it should and must be
made a cause of immediate dismissal,
if a police officer is found not arresting
an intoxicated individual on any public
place.
"15.-That any movement in this di-
rection has to buck some of the strong
est firms i'm Honolulu and some outside
"16.-That something should and
must be done and that this is a good
time to do it.
"17.-What should be done"
AS the best way of meeting these
conditions Hofgaard proposes
1.-THE government carry on the
wholesale liquor business under the
leadership of an experienced liquor
merchant. who would conduct the bust
ness according to the laws and plans
of the institution. This house in Ho-
nolulu. He does all the importing.
"2.-No liquor be sold before eXamin-
ed and passed as not injurious.
