SHERIFF |AUKEA
ON GAMBLING

"Some people may have gained the
impression said Sheriff Iaukea to an
Advertiser reporter yesterday, "that,
because SO many gamblers have been
taken in by the police during the last
few months, the police raid every lit
tie game that takes place in Honolulu.
But that is not true, and such raiding,
believe, would be illegal. 1t is the
purpose of this department to keep this
as well as other evils down as well
as possible, but we will not raid a
private house or club where gam
bling game is played unless complaint
is made, or we get reason to believe
that the game is being carried on for
the sake of gain. The places we have
been raiding lately are mainly notori-
GUS gambling resorts to which people
have been lured, and where the game
has been carried on in times past,
We will address every effort to sup
pressing everything inimical to tho
interests of the State in so far as We
can without trespassing on the in
dividual liberty of the citizens. At
the clubs, for example, or at private
houses, several men will sit down to a
game of poker among themselves, and
1 would feel that l had no right to
interfere in such case, unless, as T
say, complaint were made. Also, the
police have access to the clubs at all
times, and it is very seldom, if ever,
that anything underhand is carried on
there. The places that we really do
look after, however, are generally
and fixed so that the in
mates can escape, or have chance
to do so, in case of police rae. +"

H|LO WORK
NEW ONE

"The following IL a list of appropri-
ations made for improvements which
may be designated as new projects. al
though some of them are closely con-
nected with or extensions of projects
already adopted. For all of these an
amount sufficient for completion has
been appropriated or authorized"
So reads the preamble to the sched-
ule in the House committees report on
the Rivers and Harbors bill which
contains the two items of 100000 each
in parallel columns for Hilo harbor.
one for expenditure forthwith and one
for continuing contracts. Honolulu
harbor's 100000 is in the schedule OF
old works.
AS 1t is generally understood that
round million dollars will be required
to build the Hilo breakwater, the sec
ond sentence above no doubt refers to
the latter clause of the first sentence.
The works for which IAN amount suf'
ficient for completion has been appro-
priated or authorized" would then be
those CLOSELY connected with or ex-
tensions of projects already adopted"
Next year then, providing the $400.-
900 has been expended or is in course
of expending under continuing con-
tracts, Hilo harbor would come In for
an additional appropriation-probably
enough to complete the works-in the
category of extensions of projects al
ready adopted" II the bill passes
Congress and is approved by the Pres
ident. the only anxiety remaining to be
felt here is that actual work should
begin. Whenever the first contract is
let there will be assurance that the
breakwater will be finished.

PRIZE COMPETITION
IN SCHOOL 0RAT0RY

Early in January, Secretary Lyle A.
Dickey OF the Sons OF the American
Revolution" wrote to the principals of
the High, st. Louis and Kamehameha
schools and Oahu College, offering
prizes of $50. SIS. $40 and IS to the
schools that would present to the so
ciety the best orations in the order of
prizes on Patriotism"
After a little discussion between the
various principals. 1t was decided to
ask the society to modify their offer,
and give ten dollars to each of the
four schools. instead OF giving one
large prize to the best OF the four.
The society agreed. and the pupils OF
the various schools wrote essays on
patriotism" and submitted them to a
committee Of judges appointed by the
principals. At Punahou Miss Florence
Hoffman, was unanimously declared to
have the best paper In that institu-
tion, but at the High school the judges
found 1t very difficult matter to de-
eide. They finally narrowed their
choice down to six pupils and It was
decided to let these six speak their
orations before the school and let the
pupils decide as to who had the best.
Two OF these six declined to participate
In this contest, leaving four, Wa Chau.
Chang 10y, Helen Brown and Agnes
Cassidy. who spoke their essays yes

1OS votes, or almost unanimously,
Miss Cassidy was chosen to represent
the High school amid uproarious ap-
plause of the students.

REPORT ON
PUBLIC WORKS


The report OF the Superintendent OF
Public Works to the Governor for the
eighteen months from July l. 1905. to
December 81 1906. has been issued.
In the main report Mr.. Holloway
says the laws relating to the erecting
OF buildings In Honolulu are unsa It's
factory. as sufficient powers are not
given to the superintendent whereby
he can properly safeguard the inter-
ests of the public. He believes 1t
would also be advisable to extend the
fire limits in certain directions. II the
matter is not turned over to the coun-
ties, he should submit the draft OF a
new building law.
1t might be considered that the stor-
age or Kerosene and other explosives at
Honolulu and Hilo was also a matter
for the local authorities, and If so the
superintendent says IL would necessi-
tate revision of the present statutes.
Water works are discussed at length.
very few residents OF Honolulu" Mr.
Holloway says, realize the narrow
margin between the supply for the
various districts furnished from the
high pressure or gravity system and
the consumption during the dry sum-
mer months.
Had the dry weather of the past
summer continued 1t would have been
practically impossible to provide a sat-
isfactory service for the higher levels.
without imposing very strict regula-
uons entirely prohibiting the use of
water for irrigation and economizing
as much as possible on the domestic
consumption
These remarks lead to a discussion
OF the now famous storage reservoir
under construction in Nuuanu Valley.
Referring to the Kellogg report there
on the superintendent says:
Possibly the most radical change
made by Mr.. Kellogg was the recon-
of a rock fill embankment
Tor the outer slope across the stream.
without discussing this recommended
tion, 1 would say undoubtedly both
the rock and earth fills are perfectly
safe methods Of construction in such

ties favor one as the other. One ad-

SUPERVISORS To
GRANT LICENSES

The attorneys who have had charge
OF the drafting of the bill for the liquor
dealers have submitted their draft to
the committee in charge, which accept
ed 1t with a few additions. The bill In
Its revised form differs in several par
ticulars from that originally proposed.
In one section is embodied q proposal
to give the Board of Supervisors the
power to grant and revoke licenses.
The following section covers this
Licensing Board.-There shall be and
there is hereby constituted In each Of
the several Counties of the Territory of
Hawaii Board of Liquor License
Commissioners, which In each County
shall consist of the duly elected and
qualified Supervisors for the time being
of such County. Each Board of Liquor
License Commissioners so constituted
for each County is hereby vested with
the power, authority and discretion to
grant liquor licenses to be granted up
on premises solely within the geograph-
ical limits of Its County to applicants
with the provisions of this
Act.
The affirmative vote of a majority
of each OF such Boards shall be suffi-
cient to determine any question COM
ing before 1t for decision under this
Act.
1t Furthermore provides that the
Board, on having charges before 1t
against some license holder, shall give
the licensee a copy of the charges and
set date for a hearing, after which
1t may revoke his license. There will
be no appeal from this decision. The
Idea is to hasten such trials, and to es-
cape the red tape Of the courts. as well
is to provide against Offenders escap-
ng on technicalities.
Other new sections make II q mis-
iemeanor to sell liquor on credit to
De consumed on the premises where |
'old This was inserted at the sug- |
sestion of Judge Whitney.
1t Is also made an offense for MI |
Tor to misrepresent his age In order to |
'btain liquor.
In addition to these the following |
lew section has been added:
ANY woman or minor visiting the |
premises occupied by the holder OF a
aloon license for the purpose of pur-
'hasing Intoxicating liquor is guilty of
misdemeanor. and any person en-
ouraging or melting any woman or
minor to SO visit such premises shall
'e guilty OF misdemeanor."

DEFENCE OF HAWAII.

VIDA AND THE EIiKs.

Nobody supposes that Willie Vida
expected to skin the Elks with his
roulette wheel and it is presumed that
his boast of an intention to 60 with
them ON their Maui trip was either
an idle one or he expected to make
something out of the Maui crowd of
natives that might gather to see them.
Vida is not an Elk and was not booked
for the trip. 1t does not please the
Elks to have his name associated with
theirs.

HE FOUND
BAD ROADS
cFrom Saturdays Advertiser)

~
Governor Carter made a flying trip
to town from waialua yesterday. He
went to his office In the Capitol to
turn over his mail from this weeks
Coast arrivals. but remained virtually
incog. to official and other callers at
the executive chambers. Secretary At
kinson was about the only one who got
n word out of him. An Advertiser re-
porter saw the Governor emerge from
the robin s-egg blue" room, attired In
automobile panoply. and discreetly got
out OF the draft raised by the precipi-
tant departure of the flying athletic
figure.
one thing the Governor found words
to describe to the Secretary was the
bad condition of the roads. Both he
and ]. II. Gait had their automobiles
stalled somewhere this side of Waia-
lua.
From Haleiwa toward Pupuukea the
road is In deplorable condition. Be-
tween Honolulu and Waialua generally
the roads suffered great damage from
the recent storms. At Kipapa gulch
huge boulders came down upon the
roadway. Much OF the road there was
washed away and II something Is not
done In repairs soon a considerable
stretch of the highway will be utterly
destroyed.
At kaukanahoa gulch. where q new
road Is being made. the road is so
washed out that an overtopping fence
is liable to fall into 1t. Another storm
would. In the Governors opinion. make
the road altogether impossible.
Governor Carter thinks the county
fathers could do a good and economi-
cal stroke Of work now In saving the
road by means Of some ditching and
necessary repairs before the conditions
become worse.
