Icertain retail dealers are in the habit
of selling spirituous liquor in excess
| of the amount permitted under this
license. That certain dealers, while
holding retail licenses only, are en-
gagged in the wholesale liquor trade.
These violations of the law are not
committed openly, and while no evil
dence sufficient to support indictments
has been secured by this grand jury,
yet this grand jury has information
sufficient to state that a careful in
vestigation by the police authorities
of this county will develop that such
violations are of frequent occurrence
The retail liquor dealers should be re-
quired to keep strictly within the linn
its of their licenses, so that those who
are engaged in the wholesale liquor
trade shall receive the protection in
tended by the liquor laws.
This grand jury also desires to call
the attention of the Sheriff of the
County of Maui to complaints that
are made by plantation officials in re-
gard to the presence and operations
of professional gamblers in the plan
tation camps. 1t is reported to this
grand jury that the plantation camps
are visited on pay-days by Japanese
professional gamblers, who bring in
toxicating liquor with them into the
camps: that they supply the laborers
with liquor without charge, and when
the laborers are in an intoxicated
condition. fleece them of their hard
earned wages These conditions tend
to create unrest and disorder among
the laborers; the good order and WELL
being OF the labor conditions are mem
aced and the plantation officials are
put to great annoyance and incon-
venience in their attempt to maintain
order in the plantation camps. The
members of this grand jury believe
that II frequent raids were made by
the police officials on these profession
al gamblers, the evil could be done
away with.

We recommend to the Board of SUI

the Kalua road, which runs from the

croached on the roadbed, and by the

the Wailuku plantation railway runs

HER FAMOUS RUN.

Before the Spanish war broke out the
Oregon was at Puget Sound. The day
after the Maine was blown up she came
out of the drydock and on March 9th
at 6 a. III. she started on her famous
14,500-knot run from the Pacific to the
Atlantic, via Cape Horn. On May pa
the vessel stopped at Jupiter Inlet,
Fla. Her machinery had worked with
ont serious casualty and she was fit
for any battle when she arrived off
Florida. On May %, after coaling she
steamed to join the fleet off Cuba. Her
record in the July Sd battle is well
known. She was commanded then by
Captain Clark, since dead. The speed
of the Oregon enabled her to out dis
taEce the Spanish warship Cristobal
Colon and 13-inch shell from the Ore
gon which was sent beyond her con-
vinced the Spaniards that their doom
was sealed.
Of the crew that participated in that
famous run and battle there are two
men at the naval station who remember
the details perfectly. These are Robert
White and Thos. Dunn, Chief Yeomen,
U. s. n.

of Admiral Evans fleet which was here
in December, 1908.

THE oREGoN'S CAPTAIN.

The record of Captain John Porter
Merrell, commanding the Oregon, is a
long one. He was born in New York
and entered the Navy Academy July
20, 1868, graduating in 1867. He was
attached to the Ticonderoga and Frank
lin on the European station in 1867 and
1865, the Plymouth, same station, in
December, 1865 to 1870, then on the
Guard doing duty along the Fishing
Banks. He was a member of the Dar.
len Expedition in 1870 to 1871. From
1862 to 1887 he was on duty at the
Naval Academy, and again from 1889
to 1898. From 1898 to 1896 he was
attached to the Baltimore, and was
member of the State Department Com.
mission to investigate certain anti.
foreign disturbances which occurred in
the province of Szechuen. China, and
as member of this commission he
made an overland journey from Tien
Tsin to Chentufu, thence TO Ohungking,
thence by the Yangtse river to Shang.
hal This was considered at the time
the longest journey made into the in.
terror of China by a white man since

To provide greater accommodations
for people crossing from Brooklyn and
ether Long Island cities and towns,
two new bridges are under way-the
Manhattan, to be finished next year,
and the Blackwell's Island bridge, to
be finished In 1908. The East River
Tunnel to connect the New York sub
way with Brooklyn may be completed
In 1916. The experts say that these
two bridges and the tunnel will &C
commodate 900 per hour. The pres
ent traffic by bridges and ferries be-
tween Long Island and Manhattan L.
land approximates 100000, the rate Of
increase last year being about 80 per
cent. There Is no reason to expect a
smaller increase in any one OF the ten
years before the East River Tunnel will
be opened. 1t would seem, therefore,
that the Long Island side OF the prob
