Among the attractions last season
at one of Readings theaters were a
Turkish artist and his two wives,
who, during their engagement, were
quartered at a certain modest hostel

after the departure of his unusual
guests, the proprietor of the latter,
whose prior activities had been con-
fined to a farm in lower Berks Coun-

appear at the same playhouse med

COLOSSAL TASK.

In the Legislature of Pennsylvania
many years ago a motion was made
to remove the Capitol of the State
from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. A
member from a rural district, who
had heard of the great facility with
which brick houses are moved from
one part of the city to another, and
who had not the least idea that any
thing but moving the State House was
in contemplation, rose and said
"Mr. Speaker 1 have no objection
to the motion, but 1 don't see how

that one of our progressive citizens is

affording friends and acquaintance an
opportunity to meet under pleasant con-
ditions take tea together, listen to the

AT enforcing the provisions of the Aq-
uor law OF 1905 with regard 10 haoisuai
drunkards. The release Of one-third OF
those arrested in Honolulu for drunk
enness without a trial is also noted. As
10 the prohibition Of liquor TO habltual
drunkards, Judge Whitney suggests
that a weak point in the law mlgnL
be remedied by legislation "ithouI
resorting 10 argument he submits that
the records show no Improvement IN
limiting to any degree the evils Of the
LIQUOR traffic from the operation OF the
present law. His report in full is here
given:
SPECIAL REPORT ON DRUNKEN
NESS. YEAR OF 1906.
To the Honorable Walter F. Frear,
Chief Justice of the Territory or
Hawaii:
The year 1906 being the first full year
under the liquor law passed by the Leg
islature Of 1905, and that law having
undertaken new and, to this Territory,
unique methods of decreasing the da-
uor evil in the community. il is perhaps
proper that a special report Of that
branch Of the work of the District Mag
istrate OF Honolulu be given
The figures hereafter appended cover
the period from the first day Of jan
uary TO the thirty-hrst day Of Decem-
Der, 1906, both inclusive, or the COM
plete year of 1906.
During this period there have been re-
corded S95 arrests, for drunkenness, In
the Honolulu police station OF TINS
number 296 have been released without
trial by the Sheriff or his deputies
under a claimed right and a certain
custom of use of this prerogauye-
There have been reported by the
Sheriff to this court for trial 599.
OF the 599 reported for trial, there
have been certified to the Treasurer 5sS.
the balance. 81, being cases nol-prossed,
stricken from the calendar, or who have
forfeited their bail.
The number of those reported TO the
Treasurer represents convictions in this
court, less cases Of bail forfeit re-
ported.
OF the 52S thus reported, the number
of times convicted of each defendant
has been reported as follows:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-01-11

It will be remembered that Subdiyi-
sion 5 of Section II of Act 81 OF the
Session Laws of 1906 makes II q condi-
ton of the license of any saloonkeepeE
that he shall not sell liquor Of any kind
10 any person twice convicted OF
drunkenness. and Section 10 of the
same act makes it a criminal ofTense
so to do, with penalty therefor in
any sum not exceeding $1,000
It will be seen from the above figures
that there have been brought before
this court cases involving e2 violations
of the above sections. In each case
(save one where the defendant was too
shattered in body and mind to testify
the magistrate has examined the de-
PENDANTS as 10 where the liquor was
obtained and as to who. IL anyone, wit
messed the violation Of the act. These
examinations are all recorded in the
courts minutes, and the cases reported
TO the Treasurer.
In September and October the Treas
urer. through the County Attorneys
office. instituted four suits for viola
tons of the act in this regard. TWO of
these cases have come to trial and have
resulted in convictions, the remaining
two being stall on the courts calendar.
The prosecution in the above-entitled
cases has deemed it necessary to prove
that notice Of the second conviction of
the party had been both sent 10 and
received by the defendant. and has ex-
perienced large difficulty in SO proving.
Likewise the prosecution has found ii
extremely difficult TO prove by whom
the liquor was furnished, having shown
at what saloon the same was obtain
ed Both these difficulties could be
easily removed by legislation. and
would, I believe, result in a better en-
forcement Of this salutary act.
As 10 the efficacy of this particular
act in limiting to any degree the evils
Of the liquor traffic. II is not within
this report 10 argue, but the records
show no Improvement along these
lines Respectfully submitted.
