STRIKING HAWAIIAnS
DEMAND THEIR PAY

There was a descent of wild-eyed
Hawaiians. twenty-six in number, in
the office of the United States Army
Engineer yesterday morning and there
was a clamoring for money to celebrate
Christmas on. But, inasmucb as pay
day does not arrive until January 1,
and because the men had no cause to
be especially favored, having thrown
down their shovels and jumped their
jobs on the fertilization work Captain
Orwell refused to pay them OF then
and there as they demanded. Then the
army of invasion became an army of
occupation and settled down to siege
of Uncle SANS treasure chests, an
nouncing that there would be no adj
journment without their Christmas
money.
A telephone message was accordingly
sent over to the police station for an
officer, who didn't know what to do
when he arrived. So far as he could
see the men We're not molesting any
one nor creating any disturbance and
he had his doubts about starting a
rough house. on his own account, hav-
ing had an awful example in the war
rant sworn out against Chief Taylor.
Diplomacy suggested a move to him,
however. and he counselled with the
waiting men, advising them to go right
over to the Sheriff and put their case
in his hands. The makai nui would
see that no United States would keep
a Hawaiian out of his money. So the
whole troupe adjourned to the station
house, where a clerk told them that
there was nothing doing.
The men had been doing concrete |
work at Diamond Head and had put |
in a demand that their pay be raised |
from a dollar sixty to two dollars per /
day or pau. 1t was pau, the men be- /
ing presented with time checks and |
asked to keep out of ne reservation in
They may cash their time |
checks on the next regular payday.

children and being full of pure, whole

PUNCHBOWL BLIND PIC
SUCCESSFULLY RAIDED

A successful blind pig raid was made
by the police yesterday afternoon on
the premises of Maria August Costa,
whose husband conducts a grocery
store at the corner of Kfnau and Mil
Ter streets Lieutenant Luahiwa led
the raid and succeeded in locating
enough OF the juice of the forbidden
fruit for a good-sized Christmas luau,
including four ,demijohns of wines.
numerous bottles of beer and TASKS of
sterner stuffs, all of which was con-
fiscated and brought to the police sta
ton.
AS a preliminary to the raid, Officer
Jose Peters. in full uniform, went into
the shop with some friends and pur-
chased a few rounds of drinks, ten
dering marked money for them. So
boldly were the operations being carried
on that the liquors were served to
the police officer apparently without
question by the wife of the storekeep-
er. After the woman had been arrest
ed her husband appeared upon the
scene and attempted a rescue, maxi
ing a vicious attack upon the lieu
tenant.
The place has been rather a no.
torious one and was raided just about
a year ago by the police. AT that
time a quantity of liquor was seized,
but no conviction was. secured. It is
probable now that the Federal au-
thorities viii take hold of the matter
and prosecute. there being not even a
Federal license.

Attorney General c. R. Hemenway
has prepared the papers to institute
condemnation proceedings on behalf of
the Territory of Hawaii for acquiring
the land necessary for the extension
of Bishop street, from King street to
Merchant street. The suits viii be en-
tered on Thursday
This will be the final official action
relative to establishing the Mahuka
site for the proposed Federal building
in Honolulu. For securing absolute
title to the site itself the Federal au-
thorities are prosecuting condemna-
ton suit. one of the conditions of
acceptance of the Mahuka site by the
Treasury Department was that Bishop
street should be extended without cost
to the United States. The Henry Wa
terhOuse Trust Co, Ltd, who negOtiat
ed the sale of the Mahuka site, en-
gagged to deliver the goods for the
street extension to the Territory upon
certain agreed terms.
A few days ago the Advertiser as
certained from the company and pub
Hshed the fact that it regarded it as
up to the Government TO proceed
with condemnation proceedings for the
land needed for Bishop street extern
sion. The Government has now taken
the requisite action, so that within a
short time the Territory's side of the
contract will be fulfilled.
Apart from the matter of the Federal
building, for which long wait may
have to be endured, the opening of
Bishop street to Merchant will in it
self be a great public Improvement.
