The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-11-09

In consequence Of rumors of the
opening up of the town during the final
two months of Sheriff Browns regime
an Advertiser man went along the
cocktail and 'seven-eleven' routes
yesterday, soliciting the opinions OF
be au fait with happenings up and
down Honolulu's tenderloin.
With the prevailing uncertainty as
to whether there would be a recount of
of course, a studied. not to say stereo-
typed expression of opinion in certain
quarters. Here and there, however, in
teresting sentiments were unearthed,
some of which are appended:
J. Camara-The fire in my stove has
never been out since | started my cafe.
/ expect that Iaukea as Sheriff Will do
his best to check the abuse of the cafe
privilege, for the violation of which by
a few we are all getting blamed to-
day. whether we deserve it or not. and
may all have to suffer. BY the way,
the T-ea -u-er is just as much concern
ed as the police department in TINS
matter, for in many instances the con-
Gitions of the liquor license are be-
ing openly violated.
Ed Fogarty-I don't think that Iau-
kea will do well to close up the old
town too tight. II he does it will GER
tainly damage the tourist business.
Ninety out of every hundred tousfst2
will go back and say that Hawaii has
nothing but the climate to boast Oh
and that when you have been to Dla-
mond Head, the Pail, and had swim,
you've done all that there is to do. L
don't know Iaukea and can't tell what
kind of a Sheriff he'll make. I believe.
however, that to the victor belong the
spoils.
Fred Kiley-In my opinion Iaukea
will be all right and make GOOD
Sheriff. AS far as the next two months
are concerned / don't see any reason
why the conditions about town should
be any different from what they are
today. l congratulated Iaukea but L
didn't vote for him.
George Kikila-I think that Iaukea
will make good Sheriff. I've no Idea
what'll happen in the gambling busf-
nesS-thats what we're all wondering.
P. J. Ryan, don't think that Iaukea
will be too radical as Sheriff, but ex-
pect him to use fair judgment. If he
gets after the dives and closes them
he will benefit the better class of l1q>
uor dealers. / nave run my business
as a legitimate business under Sheriff
Brown and will do the same thing un-
der Iaukea
Willie Crawford-I look to see Iaukea
make a good Sheriff. AS far as the re-
mainder of Browns term is concerned,
I think that there win be nothing more
doing along the tenderloin and among
the gamblers than there is today.
K Kekipi-Iaukea's all right. He'll
give power to police officers to do their
duty without first asking a go-between
like Henry Vida 1 was a police Of
ficer for long time under Sheriff
Brown and lost my job because l made !,
too many arrests of che-fa men.
George Kaea-Brown's a good man.
but it's time we had change. One
can have too much of a good thing.
[ think that Iaukea will do his duty.
AS to the next two months, l guess
We'll worry along ali right. The
roubIe with Brown is that he's been
giving the Chinks too much show. 1t
was only just before election that US
Ha waiian were allowed to play seven
eleven"
Ed Simpson, think Iaukea will
make the games shut up. I expect the
own to be wide open for the next two
months. Police Officer Henry Espin-
Ia told some of the boys this morning
o go ahead and gamble as it would
De all right till New Years day.
Gus Cordes-iaukea Will make
man to do up the tough {
;ang around town. He'll give us
,etter police administration than we
lave at present. I heard a Chinaman E
ay that new che-fa games We're going /
o be started Immediately and would c
un until the expiration of Browns
erm of office i suppose you've heard r
hat one Chinese society. before cleo I
ion. threatened to make war on anOth- 7
+ if the latter's members did not sup T
ort Brown. 7
H. A. Juen-"Sweet Home" Clark's
lace. is booming since election. with t
craps, boozing and an orchestra as
tar features. The dive-keepers who s
ssisted Brown and lost know that il
hey have only a Iirlited time in which s
, do business under the present re- U
ime and are making hay while the n
un shines. It appears that Brown c
touched them all promising that If n
q won. he would see that they were 7
iven a chance 10 get square. He lost W
nd his supporters are clamorfng for ii
n opportunity to play even. The dive
eepers must have paid for protection
