BEGINS
THE FIGHT
SALOON MEN LOCK HORNS WITH
THE LIQUOR COMMISSION IN A
TEST CASE.

The saloon men have started in in
earnest to fight the ruling of the new
License Commission and the new liquor
law. They purpose to carry a test
case through the courts and their at
torneys express the greatest confidence
in winning out
The fight opened with the arrest
some days since Of JacinthO Miguel, a
KakaakO saloon keeper, who continued
to keep his place open after the License
Commission had turned down his ap-
plicatiOn for a license, and it is his
case on which the test will be made
The case was called in the police
Court this morning and Attorneys T..
N. Harrison and A V. Gear represent
ing the defendant admitted the charge
that liquor had been sold on the date
and at the place alleged in the com
plant and the court imposed a fine Of
800 and costs. The case is to be ap-
pealed and bond was furnished for that
purpose. The outcome will be watch
ed with interest

OFFICIAL COUNTING
OF Immigrants
BABIES UNDER ONE YEAR ARE
NOT COUNTED-ARE HALVES
BETWEEN / AND 8.

Counting immigrants is no simple
matter, for child under one year of
age is not counted, while children be-
tween one and eight years of age are
counted as halves and children over
eight are classed as whOles.
A manifest at embarkation may con-
tain names of 1000 emigrants, figuring
on the above basis, and on arrival at
destination the immigrants may have
increased by 100 infants, in which
event, as far as the manifest is con-
cerned, there is no difference and yet
these hundred babies take up room and
are not allowed any additional cubic
measurement of space. The law calls
for from 100 to 12O cubic feet of space
per adult.
The actual number aboard the S. S.
Kumeric when she arrived here from
Madeira, for example, did not tally
with the manifest.

.PUNCTURED A
VALUED PICTURE
OIL PAINTING OF GOVERNOR DO
MINIS IN THE CAPITOL is DAM
AGED.

Something of strange omen and pos
sible deathly import happened about
noon today at the Capitol building. The
handsome oil painting of former Gov
ernOr Dominis, the husband of former
Queen Liliuokalani, fell from it's place
on the Eva wall of the upper corridor
of the Capitol building and was des-
troyed
The wind blew the picture down. AT
least this is the explanation that some
give, but others who, with good reason
attach significance to unusual Oc-
currances, may see the hand of some
strange and mystic power in that fall
of Governor DOminis.
In falling, the picture fell on to one
of the high backed chairs in the hall.
One of the sharp corners of the chair
punctured the heart of the Governor
or rather made a hole in the spot on
the canvas where the heart would be
reached in a human being. The pic
ture was otherwise injured.
Can this mean the early and tragic
demise of some person of high ranH
among the Hawaiians or in official
circles?
