TWO MORE SALOONS LICENSED.
Black Leases His SalOon-Blacl< Made
ii fought for His Brother Sa-
lOCnists, YouIl Remember.
Especial to News and Observer

Asheville. N. c., Dec. 0.-At a spe-
cial meeting of the Board OF Alder
men this afternoon license was grant
ed to w. G. Hawk to run the Berkeley
Bar and to r.. j. Sheriff. to run the
Glen Rock Saloon. These saloons
have been operated, respectively, by
Frank Loughran and j. H. Lange, but
when these gentlemen presented ap-
plications to the Board of County
Commissioners for renewal of license
they were refused. because of alleged
illegal practice. ThereuponD they i'm
mediately leased their saloons to the
man who appeared for. and were
granted, license to-day. These men
will apply to the county commission
ers for license Monday.
Wiley P. Black, whose saloon. the
Laurel Valley, was refused licenN be-
cause of alleged irregularities, has
again, it would seem, got in on the
ground floor. Black alleged that he
was put out of business by the other
| saloon dealers and he was leading
spirit and star witness in the investi-
cation which so discomfitted the other
liquor men. Today it developed that
he has also leased his saloon. and
Mark Thompson today applied for
license for the Laurel Valley estab-
| lishment. The aldermen did not pass
upon this application. Black has been
refused license a number of times. but
it would seem that if the lease is bona
fide he will be able to license this es-
adjustment along with the others.
The ork of enlarging and improving
! the city police court room as today
completed and court was held in the
room this morning for the first time
| in many years.
1t as reported to the authorities to-
day that the residence of c. I. Chris
! topher. near Emma post office, was
recently burglarized and robbed Of
many valuable articles, including a
Remington rifle. gold watch, money
and clothing. The burglars have not
been apprehended. This residence is
Ialmost in the shadow of Emma post
Office, for the burglary of which two
men were hanged here several years

cessfully LAUGHING the "Vanilla-Park
Estate Plantation Company" which
has been Incorporated under the laws
of Arizona.
Il had to stay in San Francisco for
over two months before l could COM
plete my business" said Edwards this
morning but everything turned out
most satisfactorily. 1 took samples of
the beans to all of the people interested
in vanilla in San Francisco and had
much pleasure in having a thorough
confirmation of my own opinion as to
the excellence of the Hawaiian product.
The beans were universally acknowl-
edged to be of superior quality
"The outlook is particularly encour-
aging from the fact that the San Fran
cisco market will take all that we can
produce for the next three years and
when it is remembered that the whole
San Francisco market only amounts
to about e-twentieth of the New
York market some idea may be had as
to the extent of the trade. We have 9S
acres of land in the estate and it
can all be utilized for the production
of vanilla"

CHARTER FOR
KOOLAU RAILWAY
NEW DRAFT BEING MADE TO
MEET OBJECTIONS SUGGESTED
BY ACTING GOVERNOR.

The KoOlau railway franchise charter
is being drafted over again, as a result
of objections to 1t by Acting Governor
Atkinson. The acting governor took
the matter up last night and had a
long conference with Andrew Adams
of Kahuku about it this morning. AS
a result the re-draft was decided upon
to meet the governors objections.
Atkinson's objections are that the
proposed charter gives too wide powers
to the proposed new corporation, AS
submitted it would allow the company
to do almost any kind Of business, and
the acting governor wants it made
more especially n railway charter.

WHAT BROWN
REALLY SAID
DID NOT TELL THE POLICE
MEN TO ASSIGN WARRANTS TO
PETERSON.

There has never been any sugges-
tiOn or order to the members of the
police force" said Sheriff Brown to-
day, that they must go to any one
particular man to assign their war
rants. They were told however that
they must not assign their warrants
more than once unless they explained
to the subsequent person that the war
rant had already been assigned 10
somebody ahead of him.
Cases were coming up where certain
members of the force had assigned
their warrants to two or three men. 1
told those police office rs that they
must not do such thing as it was
gross cheat unless they had previously
explained that the warrants had been
assigned to one person already. 1t IS
hardly probable that had such an ex-
planatiOn been offered, the second Or
third man would loan money on such
warrant l told the policemen that
they should assign to only one person.
unless an explanation of the fact was
made.
They can go to whom they please in
the matter of assignment of their war
rant. AS for my having directed them
to go to Peterson or any one other man,
such statement is false"

formation as to how matters were pro-
crossing, except to say that he believ-
ed that a great success would be
achieved in the sale. Whether the sale
to be consummated will be as was
started by Atkinson when he was in
New York, remains to be seen. In any
event, it does not appear likely that
the bonds will be offered locally. Act
ing Governor Atkinson intimates that
the price that will be obtained abroad
will be such as to show the wisdom Of
the sale
As to the proposed loan of $5OO,00O
the acting governor also refuses to
talk. The matter, however is under
consideration, as it has been, in fact
for some weeks. The $5OO,OOO is under
stood to be available if a legal way Of
borrowing it can be found, but so far
no agreement has been reached.

the San Francisco authorities inquiring
if his recommendation sent two day
ago, that there was no need for an out
going quarantine on vessels from Ho-
nOlulu, applied all supports in the
islands.
This dispatch would indicate that
the authorities had decided to release

were i'm doubt about the svho. ners Mary
f. Foster and Transit from Hilo. Evil
IDENTIFY the health authorities on the

islands should be fumigated but in
view of the careful enforcement of
health regulations by DR.. Cofer, such
an idea seem absolutely ridiculous.

Quite a large number of tax appeals
have been filed for the Appeal Court,
which has just been appointed by the
acting governor and begins it's sessions

There are some large ones, however,
which will be contested. The various
sugar factors have already paid taxes
on assessments of agency contracts,
amounting to about 100000 which
made up a large part of last years con-
tests. The same assessments as last
year We're made by Tax Collector Holt,

''It took the county to show the Ter
ritory how to do business in the mat
ter of getting cash" said a member
of theNOahu Board of Supervisors this
morning. Instead of our employees
being compelled to pay a discount of
two per cent for getting their salary
warrants cashed, the county is giving
them cash and is only paying one-third
of one per cent discount. Even with
our successful example in sight, the
Territorial Treasury does not seem
able to do any better than one per
cent.
1T is not so long since the predic-
ton was being made that the counties
would have no cash and would find
their credit very poor. People Won
dered how we should be able to get
along. Treasurer Trent has simply
