SHERIFF BROWN WILL GET OUT
ON, MONDAY NEXT-INTENDs TO
PRACTICE LAW.

On next Monday at II o'clock noon,
Sheriff Brown will walk out of the
police station, down Merchant street
to the Judd building upstairs to his
law office, seat himself in a chair be-
hind a big roll-top desk and prepare
to receive clients. For the sheriff
will be sheriff no longer after noon on
Monday but will be an out and out
disciple of Blackstone. His days of
keeping the community free of the
enemies of the public good will be over
and he will be a simple citizen once
more with no troubles but those of his
own.
There will be no ceremony Of any
kind at the transfer. Sheriff -elect
Curtis P. Iaukea will walk in and
Sheriff Brown will walk out. For some
days it is probable that Harry Murray
will remain at the station to assist the
new sheriff to get into the run OF
things A number of officers about
the station nave sent in their resigna-
tions to take effect when Brown goes
out of office, Among these are Henry
c. Vida, Joe Leal and A. S. Kaleiopu.
'I know nothing of the changes that
will be made at the station" said the
sheriff this morning "the troubles Of

Hitch Over
The Lights
To Be Used
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB AND Nc
CANDLEsS DIFFER AS TO THE
LIGHTING IN NEW ROOMS.

The Board of Governors of the new
Commercial Club met last evening in
the rooms of the Hawaii Promotion
Committee and decided upon the loca-
ton for their quarters. 1t will be
situated on the fourth floor of the
new McCandless building.
In the lease which J. A. McCandless,
for the McCandless Building Company,
submitted, was a clause which provides
that only electricity shall be used for
lighting purposes in the new building.
This will prevent the club from using
gas for lighting purposes and there was
considerable argument over the matter
which has not as yet been settled. j.
A. McCandless refuses to permit gas
lights and the Board of Governors still
maintain that that clause should be
stricken from the lease. The lease
is for ten years at a stated monthly
rent.
Mr.. McCandless has agreed to allow
the club to run a gas pipe up the out
side of the building from which gas
can be obtained for cooking purposes.
Other than that he will not allow the
use of gas.
Members of the Commercial Club are
rather vexed at the refusal of McCand-
less to allow gas lights. They say
that it is all on account Of his being
Interested in the Electric Company.
They state further that they have look
ed up the fire risks and there is no diff
ference between gas and electricity.
There is no doubt but that the club
will come to an understanding with
Mr.. McCandless, for aside from the
one clause the lease is said by them to
be in every way satisfactory
The club hopes to open up in April.

From Reef
LAUNCH BROTHERS SAVES THE
KAWAILANI FROM WRECK ON
CORAL.

The Young Brothers have salvage
coming. Yesterday afternoon, about
$3.50 o'clock, William Young, in the
gasoline launch Brothers, saved the
little schooner Kawailant from being
dashed to pieces on the reef on the
Waikiki side of the channel, about
where the Japanese steamer Chiusa
Maru went ashore not long ogo.
The Kawailani was bound out to the
other side of this island when the
southerly weather drove her in to-
ward the reef. The schooner let go
her mud hooks and the Brothers chu-
chugged to the rescue, the Kawailanis
captain signalling for help.
AT great risk the gasoline launh
Brothers got near enough to pass the
schooner a line and then the anchors
were raised and the launch towed the
Kawailani to deep water and put on
her way for Koolau.
When the Brothers reached the Ea
valiant the breakers were pounding
the schooners deck and she was NOV
ing at a dangerous rate nearer to the
coral where she would surely have
There were six men aboard the Ka-
wailani, including the master, the
same number, by the way that was
aboard the Lavinia when she was
wrecked on Waikiki reef Young had
two men in the Brothers with him.
Following the Kawailani incident
the launch Brothers assisted the tugs
Rover, belonging to Captain Miller,
and Intrepid to replace the black
buoy which went adrift during the
height of the storm. A ten-ton weight
was shifted when this buoy went
adrift; the buoy took the weight with
it. The buoy was replaced on the
Eva side of the channel at the outer
end.
The Kawailani started out on New
Years day, but had to put back on
account of the storm.

WILL STOP
JAP BATTING
AUTHORITIES ARE
LIKELY TO GET FOUL OF L. S.
AUTHORITIES.

1t is more than likely that if the local
Medical Society persists in it's inten-
tion to have the legislature enact a law
requiring that all examination for Ii
cense to practice medicine be taken in
the English language, the society and
the Territory will get foul of the Unit
ed States authorities.
Ever since the medical board Of exa-
miners receded some months ago in
the matter Of examining japanese can
didates for license to practice medicine
the citizen physicians are understood
ytto have been determined to have a
strong law enacted by the legislature,
requiring that all examinations will
have to be taken in English The law
as proposed, will not specify against
the Japanese but inasmuch as the Jap
anese constitute the preponderence of
such foreign candidates, the bill is
clearly aimed at them.
There has been great deal of feel
ing on this subject. 1t is stated that
certain of the board of examiners
threatened to resign if they were forced
to concede this point to Japanese. The
examiners considered that they were
not warranted from a standpoint Of
ethics, to make such a concession. It
was remembered to them, according to
the report, that if they would recon-
slider their designations, a bill covering
the matter to their satisfaction, would
be framed and presented to the next
legislature. Such a measure is now
being prepared.
But if such a measure is introduced
and be passed it is highly probable
that the local United States District
Attorney will step in and take steps
to knock out such a law. The case
will be similar in a measure to the
school question in San Francisco where
the officials of the Department of JUS
tice have taken up the Japanese side
of the school segregation.
r. w. Breckons the local Federal At
torney was interviewed this morning
relative to what action he would take
in event of such bill being enacted by
the legislature. He simply smiled one
of his knowing smiles and said "WelL
guess 1 won't cross any bridges until
I get to them"
But despite this Noncommittal reply
of the United States legal representa-
tive, it is certain that the National
government does not intend to permit
at this time. anything that might SAVIOR
of Jap batting" 1t is by no means
improbable that there may be clash
in Hawaii between the United States
and the Territorial officials over this
Japanese question Of the rights of the
Japanese on this issues of the examina-
tion of physicians.

225,OOO
Tons Via
TehuantepeC
ARIZONAN STARTS NEW SYSTEM
WITH 12,15O TONs-TEN DAYS BE-
FORE SHE SAILS.

Ten days will probably elapse before
the A.-H. S. S. Arizonan, Captain Tap
ley, leaves these Islands for Salina
Cruz, the Pacific terminus of the Te-
huantepec line, with 12,150 tons of su-
gar, for she has, as exclusively report
ed in yesterdays STAR been prevented
from taking on cargo at Kahului on
account of heavy weather.
The cargo to be taken to Salina Cruz
by the Arizonan as before stated, will
be the largest sugar cargo ever taken
away from this Territory.
On the Tehuantepec run a vessel like
the Arizonan carries more than thou
sand tons greater cargo than she could
carry on a voyage around Cape Horn,
for the reason that she saves fuel
space. Going bround the Horn she
would have to carry oil for 65 or 70
days.
This season it is estimated that 225,-
900 tons of sugar will be shipped by the
Tehuantepec route. About $4,000 will
go around the Horn. This is figuring
on the sugars controlled by the Sugar
Factors, which handle all except about
60, 900 tons of the crop. Between 10000
and 100000 tons will be shipped to San
Francisco.
For the ten months enGing October,
1906, 891, ,442 tons of sugar were shipped
from Hawaii for refining and 1892 tons
were refined by the Honolulu planta-
ton.
There are $4,000 bags of sugar at Ka-
hului waiting to be put aboard the
Arizonan. From Kahului she will go
to Kaanapali and thence to Hilo, there
completing her big load and sailing for
Salina Cruz about January 12

Instead of further hurting the cause
Of her husband, Mrs. Thaw managed
to make two decided gains. When the
court Nadj burned last Thursday it ap-
.peared from her own statements that
she had used a letter of credit from
Stanford White while touring Europe
and had turned the letter over to Thaw.
Today she explained that Thaw took
the letter of credit from her, saying the
money was poisonous and neither
she nor her mother should touch it, and
that he would provide them with funds.
Whatever had been spent of the money
she declared was for her mother.
The second point Mrs Thaw made
was concerning cablegrans which Thaw
is said to have sent to Stanford White
from London. 1t appeared that during
their stay that these cablegrams were
