ALL ASHORE
At MIDWAY
After Great Trouble
Iwalani Lands Her
Livestock.
cFrom Sundays Advertiser)


The Inter-Island steamer Iwalant
yesterday was safely brought inside the
lagoon at Midway Island, after how
ering outside for a week. The gale
which started last week Friday did not
let up and It was with difficulty that
Captain Piltz managed to land any OF
his cargo.
President Kennedy of the 1nter-Island
company had talk over the cable yes
terday afternoon with Captain Piltz,
who had gone ashore. The Captain
stated that when he arrived last week
Friday he was forced to stay on the
lee side of the island where he managed
to get the livestock ashore. Occasion
ally during the remainder of the week
he got some of the other cargo ashore.
but very little. The gale did not relax
in severity.
Yesterday morning Captain Piltz
brought the Iwalani around to the land
ing-side of the island and was able to
steam into the lagoon over the bar. He
will probably get all the goods landed
by tomorrow morning and may start
back for Honolulu Monday night or
Tuesday morning.
The cable colony and the detachment
of United States marines were now for
the first time supplied with refrigerator
foodstuffs The livestock was killed ON
landing and placed in the new and mod
ern refrigerator connected with the ice
making plant. The beef thus stored
away will last the colony until the
next steamer goes out with u six
months supply. The colony now has
every facility and convenience of n mod
ern, model town. True, Midway has no
morning newspaper, but Midway Is
land is supplied through every twenty
four hours with the cream of the
worlds news, and is especially fortunate
in having the war news first hand.
Baseball is enjoyed and a golf-ciub Is
in existence, the players using balls
painted black to distinguish them from
the white, glistening sand. In fact
Midway is not such a bad place now to
| live in as when Captain Walker of the
ship Wandering Minstrel was wrecked
there many years ago.

CASE IS Up
TO WHITNEY
All Briefs Filed In Pa
cific Club Liquor
Matter.

The decision as to whether the Pacif-
ic Club shall be allowed to sell liquor
without license is now up to District
Magistrate Whitney-or close to that.
Yesterday Attorney General Andrews
half of the Territory and United States
District Attorney Breckons, in behalf
of the attorneys for the club. filed
supplemental brief.
Mr.. Andrews. in the document filed
by him. sticks close to the law and the
decisions upon the point at issue, ig
noring the claim made by the opposi-
ton in their brief that the matter has
already been passed upon by having
been ignored by officers of the repub-
lie and of the Territory.
1.-THE question" says the Attorney
General in conclusion. whether or not
the furnishing of intoxicating or fer
mented liquors by club to its members
in the manner above stated constitutes
a sale in violation of laws prohibiting
sales, or whether or not it constitutes
sale within the meaning of the law
requiring license before one can en-
gage in retailing such liquors, has been
decisions by a number of the appellate
courts of the country. While the cases
cannot be reconciled, the current as
well as the weight of authority is I'M
doubtedly in favor of the rule that the
distribution and consumption of liquors
in club by its members in the man
ner above stated is a sale and a viola
ton of the laws of the nature stated.
ut is therefore respectfully submitted
that
"All the authorities admit that the
local statutes should govern on this
question.
THAT the organic act prohibits all
sale of liquor within the Territory ex-
cept under due regulation prescribed
by the Legislature.
| "Our law is clear and distinct that
no one can sell or dispose of liquor
without license"
! Mr.. Andrews touches upon the agreed
state of facts in the case and concludes:
mo set of men are above the law,
or can claim special privileges denied
to others of humber origin"
The supplemental brief filed yester-
day on behalf of the Pacific Club goes
still further into the point of the pass

fact of whose membership in a club, 1t

struction of the law. In this docu-
