COL. M'CARTHY ON
CLUB LICENSES

Colonel c. j. Mccarthy Of the Cri-
terion saloon, in conversation with an
Advertiser reporter, said that the liquor
men took the position in regard to the
granting of licenses to clubs, that
where they dispensed liquors over a
bar, the clubs should pay the same
amount for license as the saloons
They did exactly the same kind of
business. Where, however, they only
had sideboard they should pay the
same as the restaurants or rs per cent
of the saloon license.
AS to their whole position on the
question of the granting of liquor
licenses, rough draft as determined
upon in the last general meeting of the
Hawaiian Liquor Protective Associa-
tion, had been submitted to their at
torneys to be licked into the shape of
a bill. 1t would then be brought be-
fore another general meeting and ac-
ton taken.

the Merchants Association meeting. as
to where the Governor stood on the
question of the appropriate inviting
party for the desired Congressional
visit. ought to be set at rest
1t was at n meeting OF the directors
OF the association yesterday morning,
when the chair presented Kuhio's ca
blegram urging that certain Congress-
men be invited to visit Hawaii. A
suggestion that joint meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce and the associa-
tion should ask the Governor to extend
the invitation was mentioned, part of
the plan being to raise the amount
necessary for transportation of the Wis
itors and have 1t disbursed by the Gov
eminent.
There was objection to having the
merchants pay the bill, and on the
other hand opinions were expressed that
the Legislature would not vote an APP
preparation and, If 1t did, that the Gov
ernor would veto the item.
Evidently the Governor had not been
sounded on the subject. for his reply to
Kuhio's question shows that he regards
the Legislature as the proper agent to
act In the matter.
The meeting took action on the Ha-

A HAM TEMPEST
IN YEE TEAPOT

PTTTSBURG. Jan. 23.--Yee Chung, a
prominent tea merchant In this city,
will leave here today for San Francis
CO. from where he will sail to China on
a remarkable mission concerning the
great Yee family OF China. Yee Chung
appeared yesterday before Rev. e. r.
Donohoo, retired physician missionary
and advisor of the Chinese in Western
Pennsylvania, for the purpose OF hav-
ing the necessary papers signed admit
ting him to this country following his
mission in China. According to Rev.
Donohoo, zee Chung has been sum-
moned to China hurriedly by the zee
family and as representative of the
same family In the United States.
"a few days ago." said Rev. Dono-
hoo last night, 1.-The clan OF Chinese
known as the Hams are said to have
blown up the great stone bridge across
the Pearl river near Hongkong, which
was erected by the zee clan. This al
legged outrage has greatly excited the
Yee family IN all parts of the world and
prominent members of the family are
rushing to China for a conference.
I'm China, about one hundred miles
from Hongkong, is domiciled the great
clan of the Yees, in hundreds of vii
lagos. On each side of them is a river,
one the Pearl river, the other a small
stream. The Yees live between the two
streams while the Hams live on the op-
posite shores.
MANY centuries ago the Hams sent
to the emperor of China the most beau
tiful member of their tribe for wife.
The emperor fell madly in love with his
new wife and she exercised consider
able power. About this time the Yees
made application to the emperor for a
ferry across the Pearl river. The rights
were given to the Hams who built the
ferry exacting heavy tolls from the
Yees. For centuries the Yees paid
tribute to the Hams until recently
when the Yees all over the world. in
Asia, India, Singapore, Borneo, the
Philippines, besides New York and Chi
cago and other large American cities
contributed money for the erection of
a bridge across the Pearl river. There
are over two hundred Cinnamon in the
Pittsburg district who have 5000 each
in the bridge. The bridge was a work
of art. 1t was mile long and had
Is arches in the river alone.
1.-TWO weeks ago it was opened for
traffic. The Yees used the bridge ex-
clusively and the Hams were compelled
to abandon their ferry system. Sew
eral days ago every arch in the bridge
was blown up. Rev. Donohoo further
states that the government at Picking
was notified and troops are now sta
toned in the vicinity of the bridge,
bloodshed being feared among the two
factions.

UNKNOWN JAPANESE
MANCLED ON RAIL

The driver of the engine Of ain early
train on the Oahu Railway & Land
Company's track discovered the badly
mangled body of Japanese yesterday
morning near Moanalua. The head was
crushed SO badly that identification
was impossible. At the coroner's in
quest last night close cross-examina-
ton of five witnesses failed to elicit
any information. Those who were at
the scene of the tragedy did not know
the man. and none of the Japanese in
the section up to date have been able
to give any information. The wound
in the head was in the left temple,
and was evidently caused not by the
wheel, but by the end of the cylinder
crashing into the skull as the man lay
asleep or intoxicated beside the track.
He appeared to be of about middle age.

HAWAII FUSION
KNOCKED ASUNDER

HILO. Hawaii. February s.-By O
discharged T. J. Ryan, Democrat, who
was manager of the last Fusion cam
paign, as clerk in the County Treas
urer's office.
They appointed Eugene Lyman. a
Home Ruler
The Fusion majority In the board Is
split. The Central Committee commu-
nication recommending Ewaliko as in
terpreter was returned to the committee
by the vote of four Supervisors.
Lyman was candidate for Super
visor during the first county election
and polled the largest vote in East Ha-
wall County, and was consequently
made chairman OF the board. At the
election two years ago he was agar
candidate and was defeated, much tc
the surprise of his friends. He was
one of the earliest members of the
Home Rule party and has been a men,
Der of the organization since then. Eff
forts were made at different times to
get him to join the Republican party.
but without success. Two years ago,
when 1t was thought the Home Rule
party would disband, 1t was rumored
that he had signed the Republican roll,
with the understanding that 1t was not
to be made public until final action by
the Home Rulers was declared in favor
of disbanding. This did not happen.
so Lyman continued of that party. He
has never been Road Supervisor. n.
b. Lyman, his brother, a Republican,
filled that position.
Ryan has been resident of Hawaii
for a number of years. During the
early excitement in Olaa he was a
storekeeper for the late Charles Rich
ardson, but was obliged to give up his
ing. When Olaa lands We're opened he
took up couple OF lots, and at the
time of annexation he, with number
of others, squatted on them and Ryan
became known as the leader of the
squatters in that locality. He was ar
rested for trespassing on the property
on warrant sworn out by man who
had purchased the lots at a land sale.
This case was never pressed. He
writes much for the papers and for a
long time filled those in Hilo with ar
ticles on the land laws. He was one
of the men who contributed-morally
If not financially-to the fund for the
late Judge Little to take the claim Of
the squatters to Washington.
Mr.. Ryan was appointed clerk to the
County Treasurer after being defeated
for the office of Auditor, and the county
paid him twenty-five dollars a month,
the balance Of his pay coming from
Lalakea, the Treasurer. He was good
man in the office, so straight that he
bent backwards, but was an offensive
partisan, and for that reason was
fired.

CRAWFORD MUST
STAND HIS TRIAL

Willie Crawford has to stand his trial
for gambling. and by the eleven jurors
his counsel accepted at that, the Su-
preme Court having answered the
question reserved by Judge Robinson
against the defendants contention.
Geo. d. Gear for defendant had
moved for a directed verdict of acquit-
tai, on the ground that the bill of par
ticulars furnished by Deputy Attorney
General Prosser did not agree, In point
of time of commission of offense, with
the indictment.
This was argued one day and Judge
Robinson asked for the filing of author
tiles on both sides. He was about to
rule on the point and indicated an In
tention of granting the motion, though
admitting some doubt, when Mr.. Pros
ser was given time from the morning
to the afternoon session, at his request,
to present more authorities
AT the opening Of the afternoon ses-
sion Mr.. Prosser moved for a suspen-
sion of the trial until the law point
was decided by the Supreme Court on
reserved question. Against a strenu-
GUS argument by Mr.. Gear the court
granted this motion, excusing the jury
until called. Counsel for defendant
had urged that Judge Robinson was
qualified and in duty bound to rule on
the question, which he said had already
been decided by the Supreme Court and
the law thus established. In reserving
the question Judge Robinson repeated |
his admission of doubt and said the |
question ought to be finally decided at |
that stage, which 1t could not be IL no |
directed q verdict of acquittal, be-
cause the prosecution had no appeal.
Chief Justice Frear Is author of the |
decision, which holds that:
Ordinarily, unless excused by stat
ute. the time of the commission Of an
offense must be specifically alleged, but |
except in so far as 1t is of the essence |
Of the offense 1t need not be proved as |
alleged; 1t is sufficient to prove any
other time within the statute of limi-
Lations and before the indictment. The
mere fact that the offense is of a con-
inuing nature does not maks the time
essential"
The decision of Republic of Hawaii
Z. Kamakauila, rendered in 1895, is
'verruled in part. That ease was not
presented to the court, as
hown by the briefs on file," the pres
mt decision says, and 1.-THE statute
vas not called to its attention"
The question reserved in the Craw-
ord trial is answered in the affirma-
I've. This was the question: "Wheth-
r under an allegation that the offense
vas committed on the 18th day of Oc-
ober. 1906. and for a period OF thirty
avs next thereto preceding. there may
e conviction upon proof that It was
ommitted on the 18th day of Novem-S
er. 1906, and on each and every day
rior thereto for a period of thirty
avs. as stated in the bill of particu-
lrs?" III

FRANK DILLON UP
FOR EMBEZZLEMENT

WAILUKU, Maui, Feb. 6.-Frank
Dillon stands charged with embezzle-
ment on account of shortage of over
$500 in the postoffice money here. He
also cannot account for s55. ticket
money. to the Kahului Railroad Com
pany. For the first charge, Dillon has
been bound over to appear before the
Federal Grand Jury In Honolulu. He
managed to hide the shortage for some
time on the occasion OF Inspector
Hare's trips to Kahului by the simple
expedient of borrowing money to make
up the deficiency. The minor charge of
the Railroad Company viii probably
be dropped now that the Federal au-
