station and ordered him TO close the sale
OF liquor at all places within his jurisdic-
ton. The order was verbal and coming
from a single member OF the board, was
not in keeping with the police regula-
tions, IL is alleged. which require the ac-
ton OF the board as a body on all mat
ters concerning police action in the city.
Capt. Lawrence accepted the order and
sent his officers TO all places hold
ing licenses with instructions to the
proprietors to jam the lid on tight and
keep II on till Sunday was passed The
order affected the big hotels. the Mar

pected that the meeting of the board will
prove highly interesting because OF the

ment at once and he saved every cent

store on the island OF Hilo Although

little establishment grew 10 be big one.
At the age OF 81 he sold out his bust
ness which was one OF the largest con-
Germs Of It's kind on the Hawaiian islands.
With much money In his pocket. the
slant eyed boy then sailed TO America.
He commenced upon his studies imme-
diately and applied himself as busiiy as
ever to the fulflment OF his purpose.
After he had learned TO read and write
English ne determined TO be a doctor.
He was admitted TO the College OF Ply
sicians and Surgeons. and always held a
high rank in his class. He was grad
uated with honors last spring and re-
