the Citizens of Live Oak
TO the Citizens of Live Oak:

To the Citizens OF Live Oak:
l wish to say that forbearance has
ceased to be a virtue. More than a
year ago a committee of several
gentlemen, including myself, was sent
to Tallahassee to ask the Railroad
Commission to not press the railroads
entering Live Oak on the erection of
an adequate and much needed pas
senger depot; that the railroads i'll
terested had agreed with our COM
mittee to do the necessary; that they
/ had submitted a pencil sketch and
/ structure as We needed and would be
satisfied with, and that we were sure
that the railroads would keep good
| faith and asked that the Honorable
sion ready to consider the matter,
let us take it in hand as it was d
local affair and between us and
the railroads. We believing that we
would be given the building within
three months as stated by Mr.. Riddle
of the Atlantic Coast Line and Mr..
Stanley of the Seaboard Air Line We
have waited not only the ninety days
but more than 800 days, and so far
as | know we are no nearer the
needed station than were we on that
day However. | have had a number
OF letters from the Atlantic Coast
Line officials in which they assure
me that they mad procured plans and

I to stand One-half the cost of any kind
of passenger depot that they care to
, build, hence | feel very kindly to
( them for their apparent Willingness to
/ keep their word with us. But the
/ Seaboard Air Line seems to have
/ ignored every pledge made, and l am
now reliably informed that their
general superintendent, Mr. HiX. has
said that we have as good passenger
station as We need. So YOU see how
+ the matter stands, and | would earn
estly suggest that you meet in mass
.
and place the entire matter in the
hands of a good committee and send
them to Tallahassee with instructions
! to take the matter up with the Rail-
road Commission. You Will have
prompt attention as all the members
of that Honorable body have looked
at this thing that We are forced to use
as a passenger station and know our
time and again that they would b.
/ glad at any time to take action in the
matter, knowing how deserving We
were of this facility.
have deferred this matter for a
long time and have written no less
than fifty letters 10 one official and
another on this matter. but all to no
use. and there seems to be but one
way to get action and that is by
force. as much as We would dislike to
begin this way.

Mr. Clark, in his letter to the

that experts from the Department of
Agriculture will examine lands

tobacco. Please advise me if the
people of Suwannee would like to
have these experts make examination
of lands in your county. If so, will

The following data will be helpful In computations: One miners Inch equals o.l496 gallons per second; 9.976 gallons per minute; 539 56 gall Ions per hour; l2.925.44 gallons per day. o.o2 cubic foot per second; l.2 cubic feet per minute; 72 cubic feet per hour. One acre Inch of water (that Is, Inch In depth over an acre of surface) equals 27,l52 gallons or 3,63o cubic feet and miners Inch will supply this quantity in about 5o hours.

COMMISSION
MAY Modify
MAY MAKE EXCEPTIONS IN RULE
REGARDING ISSUANCE OF Ii
CENSEs TO OUTSIDE DISTRICTS.

There will be a meeting of the
Liquor License Commission this after
noon. The recent resolution passed by
the Maui liquor License Commission
regulating places where retail liquor
is sold, VIII probably be discussed.
This resolution prohibits any solicit
ing for the sale Of liquor by a retail
establishment. Such a regulation will,
if passed, prevent any wholesaling by
the retail dealers. The local Oahu
Commission had already discussed
a regulation along similar lines, but
further action on this score may be
taken.
1t is by no means positive that the
regulation passed by the Oahu Com
mission fixing a saloon district will be
rigidly enforced 1t was, according to
one of the Commissioners who favored
such a regulation, the idea that the
Commission would follow a policy that
would be generally against the issu-
ance of saloon licenses outside of the
saloon district in Honolulu, but it was
not intended to make the regulation
hard and fast rule. There will, in
all likelihood, be some exceptions
made in this matter when the applica-
tions are considered. No applications
will be considered before June 2l.

THREW himself ON
MERCY OF THE COURT
ALLEGED GAMBLER, SENTENCED
TO 80 DAYS, CHANGES HIS PLEA
AND COURT INFLICTS FINE.

A case which would seem to set right
an injustice done in the district court,
came before Judge De Bolt this morn
ing on an appeal. 1t was in the mat
ter of one Kekipi. He was arrested
with three of four others on a charge
of being present at a gambling game.
The others pleaded guilty and were
fined $6 and costs each. Kekipi plead
ed not guilty, was tried, convicted and
sentenced to serve 30 days in jail. Judge
Gear took the case and appealed but
the death of Gear necessitated a delay
in the matter.
A. S. Humphreys appeared for Ke-
kipi. Kekipi withdrew his appeal
and threw himself on the mercy of the
court. He pleaded guilty to being pre-
sent at a place where gambling was
conducted. His attorney explained the
situation saying that Kekipi had not
been present at the game at all, or been
a participant in it but merely had been
in the vicinity of the game when the
raid was made. Judge De Bolt stated
in effect that it was right on the part
of Judge Whitney to have fined the
men who had admitted they had been
actually engaged in gambling, only 81
and to give KelIipi 30 days in Jail.
The fines should have been at least
$40, The court fined Kekipi Sc and
costs

day that he proposed to get as many
prisoners as possible, and put them to

There are some carpenters who are

LAND OFFICE WILL SELL 5-ACRE
TRACTS TO PEOPLE WHO DE-
SIRE TO BUILD NEAR PELE.

Land Commissioner Pratt is going to
open a very important piece Of land.
1t consists of residence lots at 29
Miles, Hawaii These lots will be sold
in 5-acre divisions. The lots will be
sold outright. They are located about
a mile or so from the volcano house
on the Hilo side. Many people of Hilo
have applied for lots in that locality,
as they desire to have them for sum-
mer residences. The idea of many is
to erect substantial residences or bum
galows where they can pass consider
able of their time during the year.
Commissioner Pratt was in confer
ence with the Acting Governor this
morning and the latter approved the
idea. The sale will be made shortly.

ditions with these lots, but to sell them
outright for cash. The details of the

HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS
STARTED BY FATHER TO Sc
CURE POSSESSION OF HIS CHILD

An interesting habeas corpus hear
ing was on before Judge Robinson to-
day, Frederick Freitas sought to Sc
cure possession of his daughter, Lucia,
who was in the custody of PaulO Rod
rigues and Antoine Rodrigues, her un-
Gle and grandfather, respectively. The
relatives by their attorney, l.. NJ.
Straus, filed an amended return. rhey
admitted that they were not the legal
guardians of the child and admitted
that the father was such, but they said
that he was not a fit and proper per-
son to have the custody of a girl OF
such tender years. He was alleged to
be a drinking man and to frequent
places that he had better avoid. More
over he was in receipt of only $25 a
month income, it was alleged, out OF
which he had to support himself and
two minor children. On the other hand
Antoine Rodrigues was in receipt OF
1925 a month and he was able and Will
ing to provide for Lucia. He was will
ing to have her sent to the Sacred
Heart Convent school and provide for
her education and care.

[ LARGE
CATCH |

There was an enormous catch of fish
off the Molokai leper settlement last
week. President Pinkham of the
Board of Health has received word
about the occurrence. About 5000
pounds of fish were caught in one day
by the natives at the settlement.
What impressed the matter upon
President Pinkham's mind was the
fact that if he had been given the ice
and cold storage plant for the settle
ment that he has tried in the past to
secure, a large supply of the fish could
have been preserved fresh in storage.
Jack McVeigh, the superintendent OF
the leper settlement, is still at Molo-
kai.
