PROTESTS
Sixty-seven Councils Of the
Royal Arcanum Ask
Repeal Of Rate
Law

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 21, 1905
Sixty-seven subordinate councils of the
Royal Arcanum in Pennsylvania are rep
resented at a special conventions- begun
here yesterday, to protest against the SUI
preme councils recent action in Atlantic
City in adopting law increasing the i'm
surance rates of the order.
An all-day discussion terminated in
the passage of resolutions calling for the
repeal of the law and urging that CON
yention of the grand council of the Penn
sylvania jurisdiction be held in Harris
burg ON or before August "a, to further
this end. The resolutions were as fol-
lows:-
eve endorse the resolutions of the al
lied councils of Pennsylvania. passed
July -, 1905, at Philadelphia, copy of
which is hereto attached and made D. part
hereof; and join in the petition for j call
for special meeting of the grand coun-
Gil of Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, to be
held in the city of Harrisburg on or be-
fore August "a, 1905, and that the sIecre-
tary be authorized to append hereto the
names and number of councils here rep
resented. We find that the new assess
ment law should be repealed for the fol-
lowing reasons, to witt
s'1-That the new schedule has no
precedent in the history of the order.
s2-That the plan is. not based upon
the principles of modern fraternal in
surance.
"33-That the new law is unjust and
inequitable
"4-That the measure is unpopular
and is meeting with such strenuous re-
sistance throughout the rank and file of
the order that its final adoption will work
great injury to the Royal Arcanum for
the following reasons
sa-By forcing aged members to With
draw,
BY drawing on the order the hos
tility Of those who have been forced out
and whose friendship is necessary to the
nroprpSs of tha order
s'c-By deterring young men from be
coming members.
'd-By the refusal of old members to
solicit new applications.
s'e-By the fact that the new plan re
pudiates the original plan of fraternalism
after % years work Hereunder, slnd
gives no assurance that a similar III
crease may not again be made other than
the mere assertion Of our officers that
the new law is correct.
s'f-By creating the lack of confidence
in the Royal Arcanum, not only amongst
its members, but in the mind of the gtln-
eral public.
s.We therefore recommend the repeal
OF the new law at the earliest possible
date, and request all supreme and grand
officers and members Of the supreme
councilwithin this jurisdiction and else
where to take proper steps to reeonvelle
the supreme council as soon as possible
for the repeal of the law.
.sThat copies Of this report az finally
adopted be forwarded to all supreme and
grand officers and members Of the sit-
preme council within it's jurisdiction and
to such other grand jurisdictions as this
conversion mar determine T

Merchant. Prot ctive Associ.
alton Says Trade Will Go
to Department Stores
Out of Town.

Despite tie protest of the Merchants
Protective Association of Hudson Coun-
ty. the Excise Board last night put
through on final passage the ordinance
prohibiting grocers from selling wines,
liquors, beers. etc. after July l, 1906,
The ordinance originally prescribed that
no licenses to sell such should be issued
the grocers who handle such goods put
up a stiff fight against having large
stock of liquors left on their hands. The
ordinance was then changed 50 as to
make the prohibitory clause effective
year later. The action of the Excise
Board has aroused storm of indignation
among the merchants generally. While
there are comparatively few groeers who
handle liquors, all of them realize that
the ordinance will have the effect of
driving the trade of those who purchase
wines and liquors with their family sup
plies to the New York, Newark and Bay
onne department stores and they argue
that if their liquors are purchased in
those department stores the purchasers
will also buy their groceries and other
supplies at such foreign stores
The ideas of the merchants were terse-
II set forth in the following preambles
and resolutions adopted by the Mer-
chants Protective Association of Hudson
County at its last meetings:
Whereas, the Board of Excise Com
missioners have in consideration an or
dinanee designed TO prevent grocers from
handling wines, liquors, ETC.;
Whereas. Wines. beer, etc, have al
ways been and are recognized feature
Of the grocery store. and are so recogniz-
ed and licensed in every large city in
the country;
Whereas. 1t is distinct advantage
TO the residents of the city to be able
to procure wines, ETC, for table and med
icinal purposes from licensed grocery
stores;
Whereas. The City will lose a rev.
enue of several thousand dollars by the
proposed action;
Whereas, Grocery and department
stores located in New York, Newark,
Bayonne, and other adjacent cities. who
are not taxpayers and citizens. are per-
mitted to sell and deliver here wines,
beer. ETC., thus giving them privileges
which the ordinance in question will take
away from our own residents and tax
payers; and be it therefore

OFFICIAL LIST OF
CONFIRMED DRINKS
FIRST COMPILATION OF THIS
ROLL UNDER THE NEW LAW BY
TERRITORIAL TREASURER.

Honolulu at last has an official list Of
habitual drunkal DIS duly issued by the
Treasurer of the Territory. This morn
ing every liquor retailer in Honolulu
was notified of those who have been
adjudged drunkards and were warned
in writing not to sell or furnish liquor
to them. There are nine on the list
thus officially promulgated and it is re-
markable to add that four of the nine
are sea-faring men. Jack ashore" has
been credited from time immemorial
with a fondness for the flowing bowl
but hardly in the proportion that Homo
lulu seems to furnish.
Section SO of Act Z of the Legisla-
ture of 1905 runs thus: ANY person
who shall have been twice found guilty
of drunkenness by any judge or district
magistrate shall for the purpose of this
Act be deemed an habitual drunkard."
1t is under this section that the fol-
lowing have been prescribed: Mike
Healy, ship st. Katherine; William
Hickey Queen street; Jack" S. s.
Claudine; Mahi Waikiki; Pola, Emma
street; Willie Dias, Punchbowl; w. c.
bruce, S. S. Sierra; Gaines. S. S. Iva
lani and Louisa Tesla, Kakaako.
The act provides dire penalties for
any license holder who supplies them,
or any of them with intoxicants, but
the difficulty IS that it does not make
any provision for holding guiltless any
liquor seller who does not know the
prescribed persons and furnishes any
of them with liquor unwittingly.
a fa fpV
dealer to act under the law as it stands
is to make every stranger produce his
birth certificate" remarked one this
morning. Even then, though, the GER
tificate might be a phoney' one and if
it turned GU that the customer had
been interdicted, it would mean $1,000
fine, or three months, or both. It's a
cheerful business to be in at that rate"

HACK DRIVERS
LOSE THE CASE

One of the hack cases was decided
this morning by Judge Whitney Ia
the case against Caesar Freitas charg-
ed with driving a vehicle for hire with
out license so to do. Judge whitney
discharged the defendant.
The court held that hack is a com.
mon carrier and has to be licensed but
a carriage rented from livery stable
does not come under such classification
1t appears that Freitas solicited his
load of the passengers who had arTfV--
ed from a steamer and after getting
them to hire his rig went to the livery
stable and secured the rig and went
to the wharf after them.
The case against E. II. Lewis WIS
continued until September u. These
cases are the outgrowth of the old
fight that the hack drivers have fought
against the livery stable owners and
drivers. The decision is in favor az
the livery men.

RICHARDSON MAY
ARRANGE VISIT
A. FAIR CHANCE THAT HE MAY
BE ABLE TO GET THE OAKLAND
BALL TEAM TO COME HERE.

Frank Richardson who is leaving for
the Coast by the Manchuria today, will
look into the possibility of arranging
for the Oakland ball team to pay a
visit here. At least all of his friends
say that he will and that should be
sufficient,
It's like this" said Bob White at
noon today, Cohen had the scheme in
hand, but I guess he has other things
to attend to. We can get the Oakland
team down here for month and play
eight games with them. The local
teams might each take turn or they
might play an Honolulu team, that
is matter of arrangement, but I know
that the expenses would be made all
right. 1t would give the game a boost
down here all right and l believe that
Honolulu would surprise some of these
Coast people. No. I'm not saying that
any of the teams could beat Oakland,
but I do say that Oakland, from what /
saw of it would have anything but a
snap"

When arraigned in court today Moau

.FILIPINOS EAGER
FOR EDUCATION
CONTINUED on page fivel

! In my opinion, it is an outbreak of in
nate barbarism more than anything
else. and a lawless element simply in
| dulges in violence annually for the
DOWNRIGHT .ove of the excitement. At
fairs are however in the main settling
down.
While in a number of instances the
experiment of sending the American
school teachers out to the Philippines
were unsuccessful, the general effect Of
those teachers has been good. Some of
the dissatisfied ones have gone back
and many who were not suited to the
demands gave up the work, but those
who were suited remained and have
been getting along very well. Many
were disappointed however at the gem
eral conditions. They probably went
out expecting that the American teach
er could accomplish everything.
However education in the Philip
pines is making rapid strides. Every
division superintendent is being press
ed by demands to increase the educa-
tional facilities and they have probably
been forced to make promises in this
respect, that they have not been able
to keep. In fact the attendance of ma
tives in the schools has increased to
such an extent that the government
has simply told US that nothing more
can be done for the present as the gov
eminent can not stand the expense of
maintaining the system, if it is increas-
ed any more. There are now about
100000 pupils attending the schools. The
absorption of American ideas is very
gradual, however, but there is an eager
desire on the part of the Filpinos to
be educated

tile in which the Garden Island, the

ESCAPED FROR
OAHU PRISON
TIN SOON, A CHINESE CONVICT,
GOT AWAY FROM OAHU JAIL
LAST NIGHT.

Tin Soon, a Chinese trusty at the
Oahu Prison, escaped from the Jail
last night. The Chinese who is serv-
ing five years for assault with a weap-
on on a Japanese, remained outside of
the cell last evening. The turnkey did
not pay any particular attention to
whether the Chinese was in the cell
and locked the door. The Chinese went
to the dark cell and hid until every
body but the guards had gone inside
the building. He took small ladder
from the dark cell and used the ladder
to scale the wall and get out into the
vegetable garden and escape.
He was recogn zed last night by one
of the former guard at the prison, but
the eX-guard made no attempt to take
the escaped Chinese into custody. Tin
said he was going to ship as a coal
passer on the S. S. Ventura He was
under the influence of liquor and was
well dressed High Sheriff Henry had
the Ventura searched for the Chinese
today, but it is not thought the man
left on the vessel. The High Sheriff
stated that lin was in town and would
be caught by night. Tin had four years
more to serve.
