lROQUOIS NOT
At MIDWAY YET
Southerly Storm Will Keep Her
From Landing at
Present.

No news is expected from Midway in
regard TO the Troquois till late tomor-
row at the very best. Yesterday af-
ternoon the naval tug had not been
sighted and there was a strong south
erly storm, which would mean that
Lieut.. Carter would never attempt to
make a landing. According to men on
the waterfront VINO are familiar with
the situation. the Iroquo:s may not be
heard from for several days yet, even
If Laysan Island should be located and
everything should be well on board.
The Iroquois carries enough coal to
last her for thirty days. when steam

Carter may have work to do in the
line of taking soundings, which would
keep him out from Midway for some
little time. The storm prevailing at
the cable island may last for as long
as week, and, with bad weather, the
naval officer would never think of
risking his ship by trying to make a
landing. The Midway shore is too
treacherous, and there have been too
many accidents in that locality to take
any chances.
The idea of Laysan sinking from
view is being ridiculed more and more
each day by those on the waterfront.
They say that if anything of that sort
had happened it would surely have
some effect on the other islands which
have been heard from recently. While
it may be true, the wise men of the
front shake their heads over the story
and are waiting for further develop

LONGWORTH AT
POLO DINNER

The polo dinner given at the Seaside
last Saturday night to the victorious
Maui team by the Oahu Polo Club
was one of the most enjoyable of oc-
casions. There were plates laid for
thirty, and every place was occupied.
After the dinner was over, President
Fleming of the local club made a
short address, congratulating the Maui
team on the fine game which they had
put up. He then stated that he had
one privilege as president which he
proposed to avail himself of, that was
TO make someone else do the work.
He said that. therefore he appointed G.
p. Judd toastmaster. Various short
responses were made to toasts by Cap
tain Frank Baldwin and the other
members of the two teams. Jamie
Wilder was called on and made one of
his characteristic speeches.
The speech of the evening was made
by Hon. Nicholas Longworth, who
congratulated the Hawaii players on
the craftsmanship which they showed
in the game. He offered a word of
advice, saying that he hoped that polo
would not become here, as it had in
the East, a question simply of money,
where man who could afford to pay
$4,000 for a pony had a great adyan-
tage over a poorer man, who might
be a better player. His talk was
heartily applauded.
The evening wound up with dancing
and a general celebration in which the
friends of the polo players took part,
keeping the fun going till shortly after

DIG CROWD BUT
VERY QUIET DAY.
Little Swimming at Waikiki
Yesterday Because of
Muddy Water.

It was a rather quiet day at the
Waikiki beach yesterday. there being
few attractions for the big crowd
which was present. The band of the
twenty-f1fth, which was expected at
the Seaside Hotel, did not appear,
though its place was well taken by
Kaai's quintet, which discoursed sweet
music during the afternoon and even
ing.
There were few in swimming, the
water being unusually muddy, on ac-
count of heavy rains in the mountains
which brought down a flood OF muddy
water in the creek between the Moana
and the Seaside Hotels, that spoiled
the pleasure of many who would other
wise have taken a plunge. Surf rid
ing was the great attraction of the
day. The breakers came in finely and
the exhibitions given by number of
young Hawaiians who were out on
their boards attracted a greaI deal of
attention.
The surfing canoes were kept busy
the afternoon. The officers
of the Twenty-f1fth and their ladies,
took full advantage of the opportunity |
which was given them to enjoy the |
Hawaiian sport and from early in the

- What were the conditions to be dealt
Atkith, and what was the end to be &C
complished? There is but one answer
in Kauai, and though the phraseology
of the answer varies with each in
.divfdual. who answers it. there il
unanimity as to the factors and
surprising recurrence of the same ex-
pressionS.
I'VE want to stop the sale of liquor
in the camps; we want to stop the
scenes of drunkenness on the roads, in
and about the saloons, in every public
place, which we and our women and
children have been forced to witness
for two years past; we want to stop
the decentralization of the community
which has been going on for so long,
whereby industrious men have been
made idIers, women and children OBJ
liged to go hungry and poorly clad,
and whereby poverty, brawling, dis
order, fighting and violence has taken
the place of thrift, comfort, peace and
order We think a quarter of million
dollars a year is too much for Kauai
to spend for liquor. We want condi-
tions changed so that people will have
10 seek the liquor instead of having
4he liquor seek them"
A REVOLUTION WROUGHT.
There is an idea that a revolution
mas been wrought in Kauai in the
handling of the liquor traffic without
any agitation of the subject, without
any pressure of public opinion, with
out any expectation in the community
that a change is probable or likely.
In short that without the people ask
jpg it or even knowing that it was
Mgallv possible, the Board of License
Commissioners, like benevolent des-
pot. simply gave the community what
was good for it without asking the
community whether it wanted it or
not.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. There has been a revolution in
deed. but like most revolutions there
was an intense recognition of an evil
to be remedied, an agitation for its
remedy until sentiment had been
wrought up to a strong pitch of de-
and then, as so often hap
mems in revolutions, the fortuitous cir
and the fusing of agitation
in its own heat into accomplishment.
The fortuitous circumstance was the
new law. But the revolution came be-
cause there had been the preparation
for it of strong sentiment produced by
agitation. The Board of License Com
missfoners directed the revolution. they !
did not create it. They recognized a |
demand on the part of the community |
and out of the various plans proposed /
and urged selected one which gave /
promise of feasibility, and on which
enough of the public would combine to
give it the support of real public
sentiment.

SO that people viii have to seek the
liquor and not the liquor seek the
people," These expressions have come
to have the force of technical terms
on Kauai. They have a very intense
and specific meaning. Tt is only after
that meaning is thoroughly grasped
that a clear understanding of what
has been done, and why it has been
done, can be acquired.
What do you mean by the sale Of
liquor in the camps?" I asked of a
dozen men and more. Were saloons
located in the camps? and if they
were could it not have been prevented
under the old law by protest of the
community, and under the new law by
the action of the License Commits

No; the saloons We're not located in

preciates the generosity of the town
council in granting the request to
have the trash barrels painted. a
dray will collect the barrels from
the contributors in the business por-
tion Of town during this week, and
the committee asks that all residents
who possibly can do so will send
their barrels to the vacant lot ad-
joining Mayor Browns stables,
where the painting will be done.
Those who do this will greatly aid
in eXpcditing the work. AS soon
as the paint is dry the committee will
attend TO the delivery of all the bar
rels

FRANKLIN CASE COMPROMISED
Announcement Made In Greenville
That It Would not be Tried
Now Famous Case.

The Franklin case has been COM
promised, or that is what the Green
vile News says, but on what terms
it is not stated. Col Johmstone when
asked about the case looked surpris-
ed that any one should inquire about
it and neither said whether the case
was ended or not.
The following is from the Green
vile News of Wednesday:
"The famous Franklin case, after
being in the courts for over three
years has been settled. When the
case was called in the court of COM
mon pleas yesterday morning Judge
Ernest Gary announced that at the
request of counsel on both sides the
case would not be taken up. Later it
was learned that compromise had
been effected.
"The amount of money involved
in the compromise is not known, the
attorneys on both sides refusing to
name it yesterday. 1t is thought,
however, that the amount to be re-
ceived by Mrs. Franklin will be con-
siderably less than $4,000, the
amount awarded her by jury sever
al years back. The suit was for $50,
900. The compromise has been effect
ed since court met for all Of the wit
nesscs and attorneys were here ready
for the trial and the announcement
yesterday came as surprise. 1t is
1thought that the compromise was
made on Monday night.
"The Franklin case has attracted a
great deal Of attention and the facts
have been published time and again.
Mrs. Franklin claimed that she was
insulted by a drunken man while on
a train Of the Southern Railway and
great physical suffering and mental
agony resulted thcrcfrom. At the
first trial she was awarded $23, 900,
but the Supreme Court reversed the
decision and ordered new trial. At
the last term Of civil court the case
was tried but the jury failed to agree.
