GAMBLING IN HONOLULU
AND HOW TO UPROOT IT
tFrom Mondays Advertiserl


"The Gambling Problem of Homo.
lulu" was discussed at the Methods,
church last evening by Walter o.
Smith, editor of the Advertiser
Every pew in the church edifce was oc.
cupied. c. j. Day, president of the Y.
NJ c. A., presided, opening the services
with prayer, and introducing Mr..
Smith. The musical portion Of the ser.
vice was devoted to the singing of sew.
eral hymns by the choir and congrega.
ton, a vocal solo being sung in a
charming manner by Miss Marion Bell.
| Mr.. Smith said
Ladies and Gentlemen:
After Pastor Wadman had asked me
! TO speak tonight on gambling in Homo
lulu 10 occurred to me that l had testi-
field but lately In a court that person.
ally knew nothing about gambling in
Honolulu. 1 was found to be as ig-
norant on that point as the Sheriff. An
editor, like a prosecuting officer who
makes charges, a juryman who brings
in verdict or Judge who sentences,
must depend for his facts In any given
case upon the testimony of others,
whom he believes. OF late there has
been so much sworn expert testimony
here, leading to a notable conviction,
and the gambling evil is SO freely
acknowledged, that even a stranger to
the games may talk of them without
embarrassment and with no lack Of
data; and trust the facts that 1 have
been in no gambling houses and have
no contact with gamblers will not de-
prive me of your confidence now that
1 am here to counsel with you about
our local gambling problems.
PROOF OF PUBLIC GAMBLING.
That public gambling exists here on
a great scale was attested last year by
Sheriff Brown himself, who despite his
present lack of information, told Gov
ernor Carter then that gambling was
| too strong for the law; that he could
not suppress gambling, try as he might
whereupon the Governor sought and
| received his resignation. But a very
| short time ago the Supervisors declar-
| ed, in letter to Sheriff Brown, that
| the undisturbed activity of gambling
| suggested incompetence, Indifference or
protection on the part of the police,
Newspapers which are responsible
enough to be sued for damages
| have given names, dates and To-
| cations of gamblers and their
games and have done it without
challenge. Finally three gamblers who
have been doing business for long
time under the eye of the police were
exposed by the morning paper, convict
ed by its witnesses and fined $3.50. Are
not these facts sufficiently demonstra-
tive, first, of the prevalence of public
gambling; second, of the ease with
which the games may be stopped If ar
honest effort is made to do so?
OBSTACLES TO CONVICTION.
1t was very difficult indeed, to ge
convictions when the present crusad
began. When a reporter went first t.
see the Moore place and the che-ft
games, he found a policeman who knew
all about them. The officer was asked

BARBOUR
LATHR0P

Mr.. Barbour Lathrop, frequent WIS.,
itor in Honolulu, returned yesterday
on the Siberia and will remain a couple
of months. He is registered at the Ha-
waiian Hotel. Mr.. Lathrop states that
he came here for rest and, knowing the
islands well, feels certain that he will
find what he came for.
Mr.. Lathrop will be we'll remembered
by society folk in connection with tho
fancy dress ball and cotillion which he
gave in Progress Hall few years ago,
which was quite an exclusive event, to
which only the "36" were invited. In
fact, 1t was so exclusive that Mr..
Lathrop was compelled to deny that
he intended to be Honolulu's Ward Nc
Allister.
The San Francisco Wasp of recent
date has the following interesting squib
on Mr.. Lathrop:

such gifted conversationalists as Gree
Harrison and Jerry Lynch go to hid

eighties Barbour was Call reporter
and having lost his top hair and tn
lining of his stomach by the piety AM
ascetic habits of his early youth, tn
doctors ordered him to live exclusivel
on milk or buy coffin at once. III
reluctantly adopted the milk alterns
tive. Barbour went around with hall
gallon bottle of the lacteal diet in
gripsack, and as milk is a poor substi
tute for solid food he had to take
swig very often at the black bottl
which contained his subsistence. On
night at temperance lecture he CAV

thought that a newspaper reporter, an

10 90 so unless he had special orders
from the station. 1t was learned in
a statement made by a policeman to
the Governor that all policemen had
been told, when they found gambling
going on. to notify Henry Vida or, in
his absence, Willie Crawford, himself
reputed gambler, or, in Crawfords
absence, a Chinese, also a reputed
gambler, but having some occult con-
nection with the police-then to do as
they were told.
THE APPARENT MEANING.
Now what would this have meant IL
1t had happened in New York, Chicago
or San Francisco? Why nothing else
than that, upon the head men getting
word, they would look in the books
and see IL the place discovered by the
patrolman had paid for protection or
not. If 1t had, the patrolman would be
told to let 1t alone; IL 1t had not, he
would be told to make arrests at once
and would be given help to do it. Sucn
arrests would answer a double pur.
pose; they would convince critical but
credulous public that the police were
active against gamblers. and would
convince the gamblers that they had
better be protected
PROCEEDINGS IN COURT.
A study of the two recent proceed
ings in court against prominent local
gamblers can not but be instructive. At
once upon the exposure of the gambler
Moore the police were obliged, so as
not to excite public suspicion, to ar
rest him; but that did not disturb
Moore any. SO long as the witnesses
against him were picked out by the po-
lice he had no fear; and indeed he Of
fered to wager 800 that he would be
acquitted. / wish you could have been
present at his trial to hear the testi-
mony which the police produced. Upon
the stand came a sickly half-Japanese
who had been to me with testimony
I against these gamblers and within a
day or two thereafter had been taken
to the police station and brutally beat
en- by the Asst. Sheriff, because, as
Vida said. he was putting up a job on
the police" After that beating Towns
end appeared upon the stand as a wit
ness in the Moore case and. sitting
under the eye of the man who had
| struck him down, swore that he knew
| nothing whatever against Moore or
about his establishment. Then came a
japanese woman who lived on the
| lower floor of the Moore building and
had told the prosecuting attorney, Mr.
Andrade, that she knew the upper
floors were occupied and used for
gambling. On the stand she swore that
she knew nothing of the kind Sitting
beside Moore at the time was his as
| sistant. Japanese gambler. The
woman greeted her countryman as she
mounted the witness stand and said
perhaps fifty words to him to which he
replied. In ten minutes she swore that
she had no acquaintance with him; and
when the judge asked her what she had
said to the man as she entered the wit
ness box, she swore she had merely said

latest to the ranks Of London's titled

I never thought they would have such
vogue. Of course the old style of
nightcap was terribly unhygienic, but

FRUIT TREE BOULEVARDs
A Woman's Plan to Enhance the Beau
ty of Omaha Driveways.
Omaha r

49, Omaha Bee.
Mrs. G. D. G. Jewett, secretary to the
park commission, has proposed a plan
for planting fruit trees along the new
north boulevards and in Fontelle and
possibly other parks, which is now I'M
der consideration by the commissioners.
Mrs. Jewett believes that apple, cherry,
pear and peach trees would be much
better than the ordinary oaks, elms and
naples in many respects. In the spring
it would lend an opportunity for a
real flower festival, which, she thinks,
could be carried out with true Japan
ese delicacy and fragrance along the
new boulevards and in the parks where
the experiment is tried. Besides the
esthetic considerations, she urges, is the
material one Of supplying people with
fruit who are so low in purse that they
cannot buy it. The small-boy evil has
been used in opposition to Mrs. Jew
EFT 8 scheme, but she asserts in reply
that if fruit were plentiful the small
boy, no matter how mischievously dis
posed, would have no desire to mutt
late the trees.
The secretary is making a campaign
among her friends to work up interest
in the matter and is confident Of in
ducing everyone to see it as she does.
