KAKAAKO STORE
BURNED DOWN
Queer Story of an Explosion in
Connection With This
Mornings Blaze.

A store building near the corner o.
belonging to Jacintho Miguel, was de.
stroyed by a fire early this morning,
In connection with the breaking out OF
the blaze those living in the neighbor-
hood tell Of the bursting of a bomb,
the noise and force of the explosion
being felt and heard for two blocks all
around. The building was destroyed
by the flames and a small stock of gro
ceries consumed.
The alarm was turned in at one
O'Clock from box 81, and by the time
the fire department arrived the build
ing was all on fire within. The turn
ing on of the water checked the flames
at once and the whole thing was over
within a quarter of an hour. None of
the surrounding buildings were in
jured.
The building had been used as a
store by Miguel until the opening of
his saloon some time ago, since which
time it has been used more as a store
house. The property has been insured,
but for what amount could not be
learned this morning from Mrs. Miguel.
She does not even know if the policy
is in effect having been ready to re-
new it yesterday but putting of the
payment until the return OF her hus-
band, who has been away on fishing
trip since early yesterday morning.
An examination after the fire showed
the presence of two kerosene oil tins
among the ruins and it may be that
the exploding of one Of these was the
bomb referred to. the explosion of
which woke up those sleeping near the
place and resulted in the turning in of
the alarm. The young boy who turned
n the alarm was awakened by the ex-
olosion and rushed to his mother with
the information that God had sent an
earthquake.
Miguel, the owner of the burned
building, is the man upon the arrest of
whom for selling liquor without a.
license the test case against the new
ssense law is being fought.

Chicago May
Get Conventions

CHICAGO, July 3o.-The Republican
and Democratic National Conventions
may both be held in Chicago in 1908,
bringing thousands of politicians here
from all parts of the country and max
ing Chicago the center of the political
maelstrom.
Financial arrangements for meeting
the guarantees demanded were today
completed by the members of the Chi
cago Commercial Club. Much more
than asked for has been pledged. The
Democrats have not been asked to put
up a cent, arrangements for securing
the conventions being conducted on a
non-partisan basis.
A meeting of the joint committees
of the Hamilton Club and the CONNER
cial Club was held today to consider
the plans. 1t was announced after the
meeting that the prospects for Chicago
securing the two conventions were
bright. An immense new convention
building to hold the delegates is part
of the program being considered.

NEW LICENSE
FEES NOW DUE
White Business Men Are Slow
Catching on to Their
Liability.

Is it so, that the Asiatic man of
business is better posted on legisla-
tion affecting him than his Occidental
competitor? So it would seem indeed,
from what Treasurer a. j. Campbell
is observing with regard to the new
business licenses prescribed by this
years Legislature.
''The Chinese and japanese are
piling up here with the new license
fees" Mr.. Campbell said yesterday,
''while the white business men who
are liable are coming up very slowly.
sit would appear as if the white
men in the trades affected by the
amended business license law are not
aware of the new provisions of the
law, because there has not been the
same baekwardness in paying the Ii
eense fees imposed under the cid law.
During July 975 of the formerly exist
ing class of licenses were issued, for
the whole Territory that is, bringing
in nearly $4,000 of revenue.
''The office staff has been so busy
issuing new licenses that we have not
had time to get after the delinquents.
Yet all these new licenses win have
to be paid. Anyone liable for the fees
can be called into court under penal
summons. The penalty is the whole
amount of the fee, besides which the
fee itself has to be paid"
Here is list of the new license fees
prescribed in the law of 1907:
Barber's shop, no matter how many
chairs, $40.
Custom house brokers, $50.
Employment agencies, $25.
Fishing boats, So.
Collection agencies, $25.
Merchandise brokers, 800.
Merchandise, $25.
Peddlers, $50.
Laundry, dyeing and Corr cleaning
works, $25.
There is a provision in the license
law requiring that licenses be exposed
in plain view in the places licensed.
This facilitates the rounding up of de
linquents. Sheriff Iaukea has men de
tailed now to see that licenses are
displayed according to law.

Free Admission for the
Products Of the
Filipinos.

81 have no love for the Filipinos
and [ hope that the time will not be
too far distant when we will not
include their islands among the Amer
lean possessions, but so long as we
have them we should deal with them
fairly and advance them to the posi-
tion of self government not only moral
ly and socially but financially. And
to do this we will have to take off
the duty on the produce of the Philip
pines sent to America, their sugar and
their tobacco
This was the keynote of the address
made before the members of the Com
mercial Club at their luncheon yester
day by one of the guests of honor,
Congressman Longworth. His address
was the only one of the three made
which did not deal wholly with pleas
ing and complimentary generalities.
The short speeches of Secretary Straus
and of Commissioner Ishii were those
of men desirous of pleasing but care
ful of saying nothing consequential.
Mr.. Straus acknowledged that he had
found that some of the laws applicable
to the mainland did not fit conditions
as they exist in the islands, but he
promised or foreshadowed no changes
in these laws or conditions.
The rooms of the Commercial Club
proved their value for such an affair
as yesterdays luncheon, the large
lounging room and diningroom being
crowded not in the least by the num-
Der of guests and members present,
in all one hundred and TWEEN
ty-fye The three guests of honor,
Straus, Commissioner Ishii
and Congressman Longworth We're re-
ceived by President George w. Smith
in the lounging room, where many were
presented to them and about half an
hour was spent in informal chatting.
The diningroom was attractiyely ar
the tables for the guests be-
ing arranged on three sides of a square
in the center of the room, with smaller
tables around it. In the center of the
room table piled high with Hawai-
ian fruits made pleasing centerpiece,
.he dining tables themselves being dec
)rated with red carnations. The presi |
lent of the club, George w. Smith,
occupied the head of the tables, with |
lin being Mr.. Straus, Mr.. Ishii, Mr..
4ongworth, Governor Carter, Consul
feneraI Saito and Secretary Atkinson.
The other guests were Chief Justice

kuMERrc JAPANESE AT WORK

Mail advices from Vancouver are to
the effect that the majority Of the
Japanese who left here on the Kumeric
have secured employment and have
scattered over a couple Of thousand
miles through the western part of the
Dominion Over half the immigrants
have been hired by various contractors
on the construction work Of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railroad, now building
across the continent, and have been
taken to Winnipeg, Manitoba. TWO
hundred others have gone to the Steve
Lake Water Power Company, lum-
berfng camp. and nearly all the rest
have found employment in the various
salmon canneries.
These reports differ radically from
those received by cable from the Japa-
nese Consul at Vancouver, who de-
scribed the conditions Of the Kumeric
passengers as pitable.

X une this morning prints an inter- x
n view with M. II. de Young of San n

\ Japan wants the Philippines pri- r

The Tribune, in an editorial, r

UP 10 CIVIC FEDS.

Up TO CIVIC FEDS.
County Attorney Cathcart wrote re-
garding the request of the Civic FEEDER
alton that action be taken to ahate
the Japanese candy cart nuisance, as
follows:
referring to the communication
from the Civic Federation of Honolulu
relative to the candy cart or refresh
Inent wagons, 1 would say that If they
have become such nuisance as to fan
within the statute defining and pun
fishing common nuisances.' the law as
il now stands is ample to give rellef
.(Chapter 123, Rev. Laws). If such carts
are not a common nuisance within
the meaning of the law, 1 would sug-
sest that the Civic Federation be re-
,0uested to present to the Board the
facts in the matter, and outline the
! relief which is desired. I will be glad
{ to meet members of the Civic Fedora
ton. at any time, and examine into
the facts, so as to determine Whether
the acts complained of constitute a
common nuisance
Chairman Hustace ordered the COM
1nunication filed and instructed the
County Clerk to forward copy to the
Civic Federation.
HACK REGULATORS.
Another communication from the
County Attorney dealt with hacks ana
the regulation of licensed drivers. IL
said in part:
THAT the power to make rules regu-
1ating licensed drivers and licensed We
biclss and the fares TO be charged, Is
Given to the Treasurer of Hawaii. The
BOARD of Supervisors are, in my opin-
ion. without authority to act in the
PREMISES: and 1 understand that the
treasurer has acted and that the rules
are now printed.
RIFLE TEAM QUESTION.
The question of allowing the en-
Moves of the county who may quarry
10 serve in the rifle team from Hawall
at the ua tional match, was brought up
nv the following communication from
governor carter, which said:
considerable effort is being MADE py /
the War Department to have rihe
teams from the various states and ter

SAM JOHNSON
WILL STAY
HOME
Rihemen, if They Go
At All, Cannot
Have Him.

There was a warm debate at the
meeting of the Board of Supervisors
last night over the question of allowing
the county employees who may qualify
for places on the rifle team to represent
Hawaii at the national shoot to attend
the shoot while their pay would go on.
Adjutant General Jones and Colonel
Johnson explained the situation from
che standpoint of the National Guard
members, Chairman Hustace argued
vigorously in favor of the proposition
and Supervisor Archer warned the
other members of the vengeance of the
United States If the boys We're kept
home but three of the supervisors op-
posed the motion and defeated the plan
in a tie vote.
The opposition to the plan of sending
the rifle team, for the going of the
marksmen depends practically alto
-gether on the continuing of their names
on the payroll of the county, centered
at first on the sending of Colonel Sam
johnson. the Road Supervisor, seeing
which the Colonel withdrew any idea
he had of accompanying the team, an
nouncing before the vote that under
the circumstances of the opposition he
did not wish to go. His sacrifice did
not help his men, who were turned
down with him.
Although defeated last night there is
still chance that the sharpshooters
viii be allowed to go. a special meet
ing of the Board being called to meet
at noon today to go into the matter
again and if possible secure a recon-
,sideration of the vote Supervisor
Archer suggested that the chairman
buy cigars for the dissenting super
xisors in the meanwhile and win them
over to his side.

John Wynne, the oiler on the S. S,
Rosecrans who killed Third Assistant
Engineer McKinnon, of the same YES
sci by beating his brains out with a
heavy hammer while he slept in his
stateroom, some weeks ago, was ar
raigned in the United States District
Court this mornoing, but plea was re-
served until the 25th.
The lengthy indictment containing
five counts was read to the prisoner,
and Attorney Clemens of the firm Of
Thompson & Clemens stated that he
appeared as special counsel for the de-
PENDANT, and moved to have the case
set over until the return of Attorney
Thompson, who he said knew the case.
The trial has been put over once or
twice before in order to allow the de-
PENDANT toy secure counsel, it being
stated that the Seamens Union of
America would probably take the mat
ter up. Whether or not Thompson &
Clemens have been so employed, Mr..
Clemens would not say nor would he
state that they were to continue in the
defense of the case.

TAUNTON, Oct 1S.-Wiliam Am

voter for two years. although his
name was inscribed on the voting list
Mr. Ambrose claims that he is a cti-

He claims that when the United States
took possession of the island its cid-

A similar case was passed upon in
this city few years ago when two
young men applied in the district
COURT or naturalization papers in ac-
cordance with the recommendation of
the registrars of voters. They were
brothers and were born i'm Hawaii, and
their father was a native of the island.

DIDN'T SEEK
ANY OFFICE
GOV. CHARLES f. HUGHES De
CLARES HE NEVER HAS AND
NEVER WILL SEEK OFFICE.

NEW YORK. Oct. 19-Gov Charles
E. Hughes last night made a declara-
ton of his attitude toward the presi-
dental nomination, when, in an adj
dress at a dinner given in his honor
by the Republican club. he said:
Il did not seek any public office. l
have not sought, nor shall | seek, dt-
rectly or indirectly, TO influence the
selection or the vote of any delegate to
any convention, and with reference to
the election of any delegate to any
convention there will be no suggestion
or thought of influence, protest or
reprisal in the executive chamber"
1t was at this same club that Mr..
Hughes announced his acceptance of
the gubernatorial nomination, and his
speech last might was a review of his
administration.
Gov. Hughes reminded his audience
that it was in an address under the
auspices of the Republican club after
his election that he set forth the prin-
ciples which would goven his admins
tration, and said:
II believe thoroughly in the eff.
cient regulation of public service cor
porations in the interest of the public.
| believe that their transactions should
be conducted in the light of day and
under the public eye; that they
should be compelled to furnish the
service which they are bound by their
charters to render and that all their
public obligations should vigorously be
enforced"
"To avoid any possibility of misap-
prehension,' he said, Il may say this
further word do not seek any pub
lie office The majority of people
doubtless think that the distinction
and power of Office are an irresisti'
BILE attraction. If you had been con
stantly in my company during the last
nine months you would see that anoth
er point of view is quite possible.
ITO me public office means bur
den of responsibilities burden of in
cessant responsibility which unde
honorable conditions and at the com
mand of the people it may be a dut!
and even "A pleasure to assume, but
is far from being an object of ambt
ton"

$4,000 A YEAR
TO REMAIN IDLE

NEW YORK, October S.-Jonn b
Mcdonald, famous as the engineer who
built the New York subways, was the
star witness yesterday at the hearing
before the public utilities commission
which is investigating the Interborough
Metropolitan traction corporation.
Mr. Mcdonald gets a salary of $780,
600 a year, but as he explained, ne
doesn't have to work for it now. The
traction merger people apparently find
it cheaper to pay him the salary for
doing nothing rather than to have him
build more subways.
He testified that in 1905 he entered
into a contract with a syndicate COM
posed of Thomas F. Ryan, e. j. Ber-
wind Anthony J. Brady, Norman
Ream and P. A. b. Widener which,
under the authority of the Metropolitan
Securities Company, was to seek con
tracts for the building of three sub
ways. The contract provided that Mr.
Mcdonald was to build any subways

dictate secured contracts.
Another contract, dated Jan. %, 1906,

struction of the three subway lines
