DRINKING JOINTS
IN CHINATOWN

Look at that said Ned Bush yes
terday afternoon, as he pointed into
corner Chinese provision store on
lower Hotel street where group of
noisy natives were hanging over a
rough bar THAT place makes more
natives drunk than it feeds Cinnamon.
The poor fellows are coming to it all
the time and spending what money
they have. If one of them has only
five cents he gets fiery drink for
that The Cinnamon find out what
their victims can pay and act accord
fngly.''
The store was big Chinese joint.
hung with strips of meat, dried duck,
etc, and having vegetables. live ducks
and chickens, pouitry-food and strange
things in. earthen jars. In one corner
bar had been improvised and near
it We're two or three recumbent bar
rels of wine and a shelf of sand
paper gin. 1t was a dingy dirty place,
but it sold liquor cheap and was pop
ular with the poor kanakas on that
account. Those seen at the tar were
already maud1in and there is no sight
more pitiab1e than a young native
drunk-an exhibition of Stiffness the
like of which is not displayed by the
drunkards of any other race.
That's what it has come to-" said
Mr.. Bush. And there is a joint of
the same kind on two of the other
corners. If new liquor law isn't en-
acted pretty soon, the natives win be
ruined"

IMPEACHMENT.
TRIAL NEEDS
ROOM
Next Hearing Will Be
Held in the Police
Court.

The Impeachment proceedings in the
case of Deputy Sheriff Kekauoha last
night commenced with the continued
cross-examination of defendant by
prosecuting attorney Douthitt.
Half an hour or so was spent in ascer-
tanning how defendant answered ques-
tions propounded TO him in the court
of law at Laie. kekauoha beat about
the bush beautifully and Stenographer
Sabins notes were requisitioned. Stem
ing in the transcript of the notes for
some time, finally jabbed the section
needed and the objections and counter
objections We're resumed.
Lucas created breeze by accusing
Interpreter Crawford of misinterpret-
ing an answer of defendant.
You butted IN answered Crawford,
before I had finished
Attorney Thayer's name here crept
into the testimony and Achi got up.
Il desire the sergeant-at-arms to es-
ing to be called as witness said he.
Il don't see Mr.. Thayer,'' said the
chair.
He's in the next room and has been
there all the time exclaimed Achi.
Sure enough the daoper little attor
ney was found in the place indicated
and was requested to withdraw from
within hearing range.
A9hi and Douthitt wrangled over
some picayune point for fifteen min
utes without getting any ''forrader,"
then the dreary questioning proceeded.
Defendant testified that in the Leong
Wah Kee case, in which Thayer ap-
peared for the Chinaman charged with
an offense against the license laws,
Thayer came to him, patted him on
the back and said: I'VE must be good
friends, you had better nol-pros the
case
After the cross-examination of Ke-
kauoha had come to an end, Supervi-
sor Cox asked a question or two.

prosecution in rebuttal He created
mild sensation by alleging that a

GREAT WAINIHA POWER
PLANT TO OPEN JULY FIRST
Electricity Developed by Water viii Be Carried
Across Mountains to the Sugar Plan
tations on Kauai

On or about July 1 on the island of
Kauai there is to take place the OPEN
ing of the great Wainiha power line,
which will be of equal interest with
the opening of the Kohala Ditch on
Hawaii next Monday. The Wainiha
power line will develop the water sup
ply from the Wainfha range and fur
nfsh power for the McBryde sugar
plantation at E.eeIe.
A Gartley. manager of the Hawai-
ian Electric Company, who has been
personally experimenting the con-
struction of the power pant and line.
departed yesterday for Kauai, accom-
panied by Mrs Gartley. He is now
engaged in looking after the finishing
touches. On the wharf of the Inter
Island company are some heavy gen.
orators which win be shipped shortly
to Kauai. but ever. Without these the
plant will be in readiness to be opened
on July 1 ana power sent over the long
pole line to Eleele.
The Dower-house is completed and
so is the 35-mile pole line across the
from Wainiha to McBryde

plantation. The wire is all strung and
in readiness to receive the electric
current.
The power for the generation of cleo
tricity is developed in water which is
brought from the mountains through
three and a half miles of tunnels, two
miles of bitches. Then there is a fall
of 565 feet through 100 feet of piping.
This piping leads to the waterwheels
which are practically ready to be turn
ed. The power-house is located about
two miles from the seashore and is 80
feet above sea level The water after
turning the wheels will be distributed
among the taro lands below. The pipe
line is of the 30-inch type. Enough
water has been developed from lateral
streams running into the ditch TO oper-
ate the machiney in the power-house-
The upper part of the ditch is not al
together complete as yet.
It has been suggested that the open
ing of the Wainiha power line be made
the occasion of a grand opening with
a program similar to the opening of
the Kohala Ditch

lady chewed gum with an energy that
was noteworthy. In time Jose sat
down. quietly. of. course, so there was
no jar to the building.
He was succeeded by Solomon some
body, who seemed willing to pat Charlie
Motley on the back for any amount.
Testa grew tired of Solomon's presen-
tation so he went over and sat down
by the Queen for a few minutes ano on
his return he presented a motion to the
effect that the letters from the Bislop
be placed on file and entered as part
of the minutes of the meeting,
This had a second. but before Chair
man Boyd put the motion, Mr.. Motley
moved that it be not made part of
the minutes.
The Hawaiian lady previously re-
ferred to said she could not under
stand the motions. Mr.. Testa explain

went further-he showed plainly that

The lady speaker said it would be
impossible for MIR. Fitz to have the
use of the cathedral when the Bishop
refused to allow him access and Motley
replied that he did not know about
that.
The Motley motion was put and on
a showing of hands there We're five for

AS the congregation left the build

was heard to say, Gee whiz, and
resounding noise in the neighborhood
reminded that the Bishop slept-and
snored.

SAYS NUUANU
DAM IS NOT
SAFE
Very Serious Charges
Made by inspector
Patterson.

II do not consider the big dam in
Nuuanu valley SAFE said Inspector w
r. Patterson, who has been on the
work for some time past, last night
Understand me, l did not want to
bring this thing into the newspapers.
But 1 have asked Governor Carter to
appoint a Commission to examine the
dam, and l have the backing in this
of the most influential people in the
town and of the principal residents of
Nuuanu valley
1t was stated yesterday that Gov
ernor Carter would appoint the COM
mission asked for by Inspector Patter-
son. That gentleman was very frank
in his statements of why he had taken
the action that he had in the matter.
Il have been waiting for Governor
Carter to come back he said. lin or
der that 1 might have backing in what
1 wanted to do. AS I have said, 1 do
not consider that the work on the
dam is safe. / have been inspector
[ have not been able to get the con-
tractor to do satisfactory work
Il do not say that the contractor is
a fault in this. The trouble has been
in the loose way in which the specifica-
tions are drawn. For example, the
other day they were putting in layer
of dirt on dust. Now, anybody knows
that you cannot get dirt to unite with
dust. and if the dam We're built in that
way it would leave a loose place in the
structure.
STRENGTH UNDER PROTEST.
II asked the contractor to wet the
dirt, and he objected. saying that the
contract did not call for wetting it,
L protested that it should be wet to
hold, and he finally said that he would
that he would do it under protest.
II replied that I did not care how he
did it, so it was done. The contractor,

If that dam would break, it would
sweep away my house and my family,
and many other houses in the valley.
The dam is an immense structure
holding sixty-six acres of water It
runs from a height of sixty feet to

at the lowest point has a thickness of
