.bERGER'S BAND BACK
WITH MANY LAURELS

The Royal Hawaiian Band, its leader
Captain Berger. and Madame Name
Alapai We're given hearty welcome
home last night at the Royal Hawaiian
hotel. The concordia band gave a
concert which was much appreciated.
The first performance by the Royal Ha-
waiian band will be next Monday night
as the members are tagged after their
two months arduous work.
Were all tired" said Captain Ber-
ger yesterday, "and the boys expected
a chance to stretch little, so we won't
blow till Monday night.
During our trip, We played over
700 pieces. We gave two programs n
day at the fair played in San Fran
cisco, San Jose and Sacramento on the
Manchuria coming down and today"
Several members of the band spoke
Of the climate of San Francisco with
disparagement. I'VE nearly shivered
out of our clothes in the fog and chilly
air Our first concert there we had to
lock our knees together to keep from
shaking so we couldn't play"
1.-THE first night in San Francisco 1t
was pretty cold" Captain Berger ad-
mitted. 1T was hard to play under
such conditions. But It warmed up
after that. In San Jose It was warm
and in Sacramento it was fearfully hot.
I'VE were well treated and entertain
ed and our trip was a success"

Oahu, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: We are reliably informed
that gambling is being carried on in
Honolulu. both by Chinese and by
white men. The publicity with which
gambling places are being conducted
is such as to indicate either protection,
indifference or incompetency on the
part of the police. At best the money
being spent upon the police, especially
the detective force, is not securing re-
suits which we are entitled to expect.
We address you thus preliminarily,
hoping and believing that the protec-
tion of the honor Of yourself and OF
the Department under your charge will
be sufficient incentive TO cause you to
use every effort to remedy the present
situation, which is becoming so noto-
rious as not only to reflect upon you
and your department, but upon the
County Supervisors as WELL
If an early and radical change does
not take place in the method of en-
forcement of the laws against gam
bling, we shall be compelled, in the
public interests, to ourselves take
prompt action. We sincerely hope
that this necessity will not arise.
Yours very truly,
/ E. R. ADAMS,
Chairman, Police Committee.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 21.-
The only items of local Hawaiian in
terest here this week have been the ar
rival of Mr. George B. Mcclellan, Sec
retary to Delegate Kalanianaole, and
the status OF plans for the Quarantine
Wharf. The Supervising Architect OF
the Treasury, Mr.. James Knox Taylor,
said today that he expected the mat
ter to be closed out once and for all
within a few days. Cotton Brothers
have not yet signed the contract for
the construction of the wharf. but the
delay is only incident to the transac-
tion of official business during the heat
ed term. Agent Roberts, at San Fran
cisco, is expected to have the new
two or three days.
Mr.. Mcclellan came here this week
with his family and all are comfort
ably established at the Cumberland, an
apartment hotel ON Fourteenth street,
just off Thomas Circle. AS is well un-
derstood in Honolulu, he Is here to look
after the preparations for the defense
in the contest against the Delegate and
will be in consultation with Gen. w. w.
Dudley, the Delegates attorney. in
making up the brief. 1t is expected
that Iaukea's brief will be received here
in the course of a few days and placed
on file with the clerk of the House.
THE LEPER SANITARIUM.
DR.. Walter wyman, sugeon general
of the Marine Hospital Service. stated
this afternoon that there had been
absolutely no developments of late In
the matter of the leper sanitarium. "I
have been overwhelmed with business
in connection with the yellow fever
situation in the South" said he. "That
has precluded my taking any further
steps with the sanitarium. "The doc
tor has also had some extra business
on his hands in the misapplication of
about $4,000 of government funds by
a clerk in his office. He said that he
received a few days ago a bunch of
newspaper clippings from Gov. Carter
pertaining to Hawaiian affairs and that
was all the Hawaiian news he had
had of late.

Honolulu, October 1, 1905.
B. r. Adams, Esq, Chairman, Police
Committee, Board of Supervisors,
County of Oahu.
Dear Sir: / beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your favor of the 9th of Sep
tember in re Gambling Alleged to be
Carried on in Honolulu" and in reply
I beg to state that no gambling places
are conducted with any publicity in
Honolulu. If the Police Committee has
any evidence that such is the case /
should be pleased to hear of it and
desire an investigation by the Board
of the charges you make.
If as you say the Committee is re-
Iiably informed that gambling is being
carried on by Chinese and white men
with a publicity indicating protection,
indifference or incompetency want an
opportunity of being heard to the con-
trary.
I submit that the gambling laws are
being enforced strictly in Honolulu to-
day and the arrests made by the Po-
lice show such to be the case
I desire especially that yourself or
any member of the Board personally
investigate this matter.
I wish you would accompany the
police on some of their raids and per-
sonally follow up and investigate the
information that may be brought to
you.
1t is extremely easy to say that
r'this' and that" exist, but when such
statements are run down they amount
to but little.
The report for September shows 1853
arrests for gambling and is for "che
IA"
I submit that the police are blamed
for a state of affairs they are not re-
sponsible for.
Not word is said against the Judge
for treating gambling cases lightly.
The police often make arrests for gam
bling spending five dollars or perhaps
ten dollars for the purpose of securing
an informer to testify against the per-
sons arrested and secure convictions
and the judge imposes fine of two
dollars and one dollar costs, when the
law allows a thousand dollar fine as
the maximum.
If severe fines were imposed 1t would
have a much more deterring effect than
the merely nominal fines now imposed.
Why should not "che ia" agents con-
victed be heavily fined 1t is alleged
that the banker in such a game makes
money but what does fifty dollar fine
amount to? Why should not such
person be fined five hundred dollars
at least?
1 make these statements simply to
show that while the police are hustling
and getting in these cases, they are
being lightly dealt with in court.
1 don't want to shirk any RESPONSE
bility nor do I want to be accused of
passing the "buck' up to the court,
but I do contend that good stiff fines
Imposed where convictions are secured
would very soon put a damper on much
of the gambling that is carried on to-
day. I beg to remain,
Very respectfully,
A. NJ BROWN,
Sheriff, County of Oahu.

QUARANTINE WHARF GETS

Not a wheel is turning in the In
terror Department with reference to
territorial matters. The copies OF the
Advertiser repose on the desk OF Chief
Clerk Acker of the Patents and Mis-

THE Paterson Guardian" hits the
nail on the head and says what should
be republished In every paper in the
country, in the following:
The court of pardons ought to be
dubbed the s'court OF sentimental
twaddle. Q The day after Christmas
it sat, and unlocked the doors OF
the State prison TO let out murderers,
embezzlers, thieves, perjurerS, and
all kinds OF malefactors, as fast as
petitioned.
Here was janitor who murdered
a servant girl in circumstances most
brutal, and who deserved hanging,
and actually was sentenced TO be
hanged: although his sentence was
subsequently committed TO life I'M
priSOnment. Now after the lapse OF
eighteen years, the court Of pardons
unlOckS the door and lets this murder
er loose in the STATED
On wha plea is this extraordinary
manifestation of clemency based !
Merely that the prisoner is suffering
from confinement, and may die Ia
prison. If he isn't released Yet that
was Just what the law contemplated
that he should stay Ia prison until
he died. The court OF twaddle sets
itself above courts of Justice and
looks upon the murderer Of a servant
as only incidental to the sowing OF
Youthful wild oats, and, besides, the
poor man ism at all well. He needs
fresh air.
The court of twaddle has this adj
vantage. 1t doesn't have to take
into consideration the feelings or
wishes of the servant-girps family or
friends If she has any but only OF
the murderer's ingeniously plausible
and tearfully importunate prisoners.
1t is well to remember In this con-
nection that when the murder was
committed there was danger that
Titus would be linched, doubtless the
same people signed the petition for
his pardon.

THE matter of the elevation of the
Lackawanna tracks over Morris street
is attracting considerable attention at
present There is no question but that
the proposed improvements, with new
station, etc, will be of decided benefit
to the town If carried out in an artis-
tic and proper manner. AS to wheth-
er the town should pay the railroad
anything toward the work there is a
wide differenceo Of opinion Many peo-
pie feel that it is purely business
proposition on the part Of the railroad
company. the Improvements being me-
cessary to properly handle its increas-
ing business, and the work will be
done anyway, hence there is no more
reason for contributing to this work
than there is to assist some private in
diyidual in charging his facilities for
doing business. On the other hand
many Of our citizens look on the mat
ter from another standpoint. They
feel that the matterisone of the great
est Importance to thestown. Towns
generally in this section are co-opera-i
ting with the railroads in abolishing
grade crossings and improving their
stations and surroundings. This is
the case with the towns below us, and
as Morristown is practically on the
edge Of the suburban traffic zone a re-
fusal to aid in the enterprise may re-
suit ia the continuance OF the present
condition OF affairs at the station with
all their danger and Inconvenience
and the town wouldsuffer by COMPARE
son with more progressive places. Even
if the company should do the work a
refusal on the part of the town to CO.
operate it might be done in such way
as to be continual eyesore. In regard
to the point that the railroad company
would not hold up the work because Of
the comparatively small amount Of
money involed, it is suggested that
Morristown is but one of number OF
number OF towns where similar con-
ditions prevail, and If corporation
was waived here every other town
claim like concessions and that would
aggregate a large sum to the railroad
company.

GOVERNOR MURPHY's term is near
ing its close, and in an address made
Saturday in Newark he took occasion
to refer briefly to what had been ac-
complished during his administration
for the benefit of the State. No one
will deny that the Governor is entitled
to high COMMUNICATION for the excel
lent things accomplished for tie
public good during his incumbency OF
office, including progress in education,
primary reform, factory inspection
and tenement house reform. He took
up the labors Of Chief Executive of
the State with an energy and quiet
dignity that promised to make OF the
Office something more than chief
clerkship, as most of his predecessors
had done, and to certain extent sue
ceeded in his aims.

Of the United States, on Tuesday
filed a petition in the United States
District Court, in which he makes
the General Paper Company prinei-
pal defendant, and twenty-four other

and, after deducting operating ex-
penses of the General Paper Company,
divided the surplus among the mem
beTS Of the corporation.
The petition alleges that ia con-
sequence of the combination all COM
petition in the manufacture, sale and
distribution Of paper had been re-
stricted and the price Of all paper
products greatly increased, parti-
cularly that of news print paper,
which has been increased about So

dealers or newspapers or other con-
sumers in the territory west Of the
Mississippi, with the exception of
certain newspaper publishers in st.
