In the Frankfort penitentiary, we
confess, carries some weight, and re-
fleets an adherence to the theory of
criminal law. which laymen some
times fail to consider, for lack OF
knowledge. The theory Of our Grim

ed for the preparation OF crime is
not so much punishment to the
guilty person as a deterrent on 9TH

Taking this view of Il. Senator
Campbell says In effect that execu-

crime, is for the purpose OF discour-

COUNTRY FAIR REpIvIvUs.

COUNTRY FAIR REDIVIVUS.
Does anti gambling legislation
mean the revival of the old-fashion-
ed county fair?
The Memphis Jockey club, instead
of trying to revive racing with pool
selling features, will hold a tri-state
fair. for Tennessee, Arkansas and
Mississippi, with racing as the prin-
cipal feature; but with enough fat
swine, big pumpkins, crazy quilts and
prize jellies,. to interest aud entertain
the rural population of the Delta
country.
Even yet In some small communi-
ties the county fair in its pristine
charms survives the sophisticating
influences of rural free deliveries,
traction lines, and exposition excur-
sions; and many city people, who
have not forgotten what once was,
make annual pilgrimages to the bu
collie shrine of 3 neighboring county
seat town, to revel in the dusty at
mosphere. the strange medley OF
sounds from wood and field, and the
predominance Of family groups.
The breed of horses will not be
lessened, we assume. by interesting
people who raise and drive them,
rather than people who bet on them,
and the elimination of the black
board and the, shortskate. who pre-
sides over 1t, will not materially
weaken collections the following
week.

There was sound OF rude song, and

JAPANESE EMIGRANTS
CANNOT GET AWAY FOR
SEVERAL DAYS At LEAST

The agitators then arranged for a
series of smaller meetings, at which
ways and means were discussed. 1t
was found that some of the intending
emigrants did not have a cent to live
on. while many of the others were
within a dollar of being broke. To re-
Iieve the situation a good many Of them
pooled their money and arranged to
leave the hotels. They planned to sleep
in Aala park and to buy bread and cof-
fee. estimating that in this way fifteen
cents a day would keep them in food
until the steamer arrived.
Now the steamer has arrived and IS
tied UP for some days at least, ag-
gravating the situation. If their money
would be returned to them the majority
would probably return TO the planta-
tions. but the ones engineering the
scheme have had to expend a great
part of the money for the Kumeric
charter and are probably not in a posi-
ton to make immediate repayment,
provided they wanted to. Under these
if the affair can be set
tied without trouble it will be fortu-
nate

LIQUOR DEALERS MAY
ENJOIN LICENSE BOARD

An injunction against the actions OF
the Board of License Commissioners,
to be served by A. G. NJ. Robertson,
as the representative OF the Liquor
Dealers Association, was expected at
| the meeting Of that board yesterday
/ by a good many OF the saloon keepers
present, but il failed to materialize.
That some such step is 10 be taken by
/ the Liquor Dealers Association In the
very near future seems to be probable.
lalthough Chairman Ballentyne, for the
License Commissioners, stated last
night that he knew absolutely nothing
of the matter. If any action SUCH as
| is suggested is taken. Mr.. Ballentyne
stated last night, it would have to
take the form OF a writ OF mandamus
to show cause why a particular license
has been refused.
The test case. whatever form it may
take is to be made over the applica-
ton of Pang Lum Now. saloon keep
er whose application for a license for
the corner Of King and Kekaulike
streets has been refused. Robertson
appeared at the meeting yesterday on
behalf Of the applicant and endeavored
TO get the consent or the refusal or
the board to reopen the hearing. but
no definite answer was given him.
During the hearing OF the applications
of some other dealers, too, he tried
to get the board TO declare publicly
that the location Of a saloon IN the
neighborhood Of the fishmarket was
grounds for refusing It a license. In
this too he was disappointed. This
came up during the hearing Of the
application Of the Kwong Chong Lung
Company for a wholesale license for
the corner Of King and Maunakea
streets and for a saloon license for the
corner Of Hotel and Kekaulike streets.
Il take # for granted that the fish
market rule does not apply to these
locations" was Robertson's interroga-
tive statement.
What do you mean by the fish,
market ruler" asked Commissioner
Campbell.
well. I understand that the other
applicants for whom 7 appeared were
turned down because their places were
too near the fshmarket' explained
THE board doesn't know anything
about that reason"
.sNVeU. il was certainly discussed here
during the hearing of the applicants /
continued the attorney.
It believe YOU said something about
i+ Yourself" answered Campbell. and I.
that part Of the matter was dropped.
Robertson certainly had said some /
thing about tt himself. He had elab- /
GRATED his whole argument on the fact
that. while the BOARD had the powHr OF
turning down On application on any
reasonable ground. the fact ~ location
in a certain place was not 20 be can-
gfdr-el reasonable ground.

KUMERIC HERE
WITH SMALLPOX
CASES ON BOARD
Passengers, Who Are a Fine Lot of
Immigrants, to Be Landed on
Quarantine Island.

| before the immigrants were allowed to
go on board the kumeric, there is no
telling how many deaths might have
occurred. Each immigrant was vac
cinated before being allowed on the
vessel and this, in a great measure, ac.
counts FOR the light attacks of the
disease which were experienced by
those who were taken down on the
way over.
The immigrants themselves are a
fine LOOKING lot, being stronger and
sturdier than the Spaniards who came
on the HelioDous. They greeted the
launch as she came alongside the
ship, with waving of hats and cheers,
and when it left for the shore they
cheered so Justify that it sounded like
a foot ball yell in a mainland college.
There are a great many children on
board, and they seem as rule to be
younger than in the case of the He'll
opolis immigrants and are very light
ly clothed, single garment being all
that many of them have on and that
one none too extensive. The men are
a strong looking lot and everyone
seemed to have a satisfied look which
showed that they had experienced good
treatment on the way to this city.
Collector Stackable stated to the
Advertiser reporter as the launch was
coming in that the immigrants appear
ed to be more healthy and in bet
ter physical condition than they were
when they went on board the vessel.
The women are hardly as good look
ing as was the case with the Spanish
senoras, but there were one or two
visible who were really beauties and
they seemed to know of the fact. Both
men and women were clean IN their
personal appearance though their
clothes showed poverty. The women's
hair was tidy and that of the men
carefully cut.
Among the passengers on the humer-
ic is a Mr.. Hendricks, representative
of the Bureau of immigration from
Washington, d. c. He was sent to
Funchal for the purpose of seeing that
the immigrants were treated with ev-
ery consideration possible and seems
to be perfectly satisfied.
There were two nurses on board
the vessel, the Misses Poppleton, two
English girls Of good family who took
this opportunity of seeing something
of the world. Collector Stackable
speaks of them in the very highest
terms.
The Kumeric made a fine passage
from Lota, the last port at which she
sailed, putting in there to get coal. |
She made the 5000 miles in p days, !
which is considered very good time for
a vessel of her class.
In speaking of the conditions on
board the kumeric, DR.. Moore seemed |
TO be very favOrabIy impressed There |
were by no means as many passengers
on her as there were on the Heliopolis
and she seems to be a much more roomy |
vessel. She was in fine condition on
reaching this port.

The arrival of the S. S. Kumeric
will have a disastrous effect on the
expectations of the thousand odd Jap
anese who had planned to sail in her
right away quick for Vancouver. AS
8 result there will probably be lively
times in store today for those who pro-
moted the emigration scheme, The Fed
eral quarantine officers last night an
nounced that the crew of the Kumeric
will have to remain in quarantine for
at least fourteen days, while the YES
sci itself, provided another crew could
be obtained at once, a rather imprOb-
able proposition, would have to remain
in port for some days at least until
she could be thoroughly fumigated.
In the meantime what is to become
of the twelve hundred Japanese who
have been waiting for her here for the
past week, some of whom are penniIess
and all of whom are impatient? AL
ready some of them have been to the
police to see what steps they may take
to force the agents to return them their
nassa ge money. Already Indignation
meetings have been held among them
and to meet their insistent demands
the twenty-four labor-agency hotels
have had to cut their rates for board
in two.
Yesterday morning a monster meet
ing had been arranged for the Aala
Japanese theater, but the proprietor
would not allow the meeting to come
off in his building, fearing a riot and
the consequent wrecking of his place.

A WOMAN
PROTEST
License Board Hears
Reasons Against
Saloons.

| Yesterday, for the first time, the
Board of License Commissioners heard
reasons publicly advanced by a woman
why a saloon license should not be
granted The woman was an unedu-
Gated Hawaiian from Kewalo. She
told her story simply. She pleaded for
her children and for herself, voicing in
her appeal the plea of all women, Of
too near presence of saloon to the
home. She told in a quiet way of the
times her husband would come home
drunk and beat her, of the times he
would return with drunken compan-
ions and with blasphemy and violence
frighten the children and herself, she
urged the refusal of the license be-
cause the saloon stood across the road
from her home, where the children at
play would come in contact with vile
ness seen and heard. Hers was a story
carrying more weight than all the lee
lures given by well-dressed reformers
could carry with the Board.
And the weight of her appeal was
magnified many times by the testimony
of the saloon keeper, put On in rebuff
tai. Thinking, evidently, that it was
an argument in favor of his and all
other saloons, he denounced the wo-
man as drunkard herself, ds a woman
whose periodical, sprees were the talk
Of fE1n onir hnrI In nrfb fba6 hor-
condition when under the influence of
liquor, denouncing her as a drunken
character we'll known to the police And
every word he uttered added to the
force of the pleadings of the woman
who wanted the saloon taken away
from before her home.
There We're sixteen applications for
a public hearing at the Board meet
ing yesterday afternoon, which con-
vened some minutes late on account of
an executive meeting of the members
in the little consultation room in the
Waikiki lanai. There was a fairly
large crowd present, both the saloon
keepers and the temperance elements
being well represented. The saloon men
were expectant of something happen
ing, but the meeting was serene all the
way through.

The British ship Kumeric, Captain
Baird, bringing 1858 Portuguese imml-
grants from Funchal, arrived off port
last night at o'clock and will come
in to the quarantine dock early this
morning. There were three deaths
from smallpox on the way over and
a good many more cases in which the
patients recovered. There are five cases
on board at the present time, all con-
valescent.
When the Kumeric was sighted OFF
port DR.. Moore went out in the Gus
toms launch to meet her. He was ac-
eompanied by Collector of Port E. X.
Stackable, r. c. Stackable, Acting
Governor Atkinson, an Advertiser re
porter, and the regular boarding force
of the Customs and Immigration au-
thorities When nearing the kumer1c
it was seen that Capt. Macaulay, the
pilot who had gone out to meet the
vessel, was not on board and it was
supposed at that time that there was
contagious sickness of some kind on
the ship. Dr. Moore, therefore, was the
only person on the launch to 60 up
the Kumeric's 8 gangway, which she
lowered at once.
He remained on board for about
twenty minutes, then returning to
make his report to DR.. Cofer, who was
waiting at the Fort street wharf. The
latter Immediately decided to go on
board himself to make a closer in
vestigation of the matter. He found
that the three deaths from smallpox
had occurred, two on May Il, sixteen
DAYS after leaving Funchal, and one
more two davs after. There were eases
cropping out every now and then
throughout the entire trip but how
many he was unable to state on account
of the fact that the doctor s records
had not been made up when he was
on board.
The Kumeric will come alongside of
the Quarantine dock this morning and
her passengers will be landed They
will be kept on the Quarantine Island
for fourteen days and, if other cases
have not occurred by that time, Will
then be given their liberty. The mem
bers of the crew win be kept in quar-
antine as well as the passengers and
for the same length Of time, while the
vessel will be thoroughly disinfected.
At the time the humeric left Fun
chal there were 200 cases of smallpox
in that city and it is from this source
that the sickness came. DIR. Gofer
states that the two doctors on the
Kumeric, one English and one Portu-
guese, and the two nurses, both Eng
lish, are greatly to be praised for their
work in keening down the disease.
If it had not been for the precau- |
tions taken by Collector Stackable
