Alabama Laws EniOined.

In his trip down the river with
the Governors the President was
reported to have said, in pleas
antry to Gov. Conner of Alabama,
that he was gratified it was a Dem
ocratic and not Republican
Judge who had enjoined the state
officials from enforcing the state
laws. We imagine that this glad
feeling will be intensified when
President Roosevelt reads the
latest performance Of the injunc-
tion stunt, by his Democratic
Judge. The Birmingham News
thus comments upon the s;tuation:
1t appears from the reports
from Montgomery that United
States District Judge Thomas &.
Jones, at the instance of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company, of the South and North
Alabama Railroad Company, and
of the Central Trust Company of
New York, acting in the interest
of the Central of Georgia Railway
Company, has issued blanket in
functions of the most extensive
and far-reaching character, by
which it is undertaken to tie up
the civil and criminal laws of the
state of Alabama, and, in effect,
debar the state of Alabama from
enforcing her criminal and civil
laws in her own courts. So far as
the Birmingham News has been
able to learn, no such far reaching
and extensive injunction las ever
been issued in the United States.
and certainly no such injunction
has ever been sanctioned or sus-
taiDed by the supreme court of the
United States, or by any federal
court exercising appellate luris-
diction.
IL appears, at tnlS qlSGalce, Gnat
the order granted expressly con-
travenes section 81 of the bill of
rights in the constitution of Ala
bama, that nc power of suspen-
sion of laws shall be exercised, ex-
cept by the legislature, y in that
it is attempted to suspend the
effect and operation of laws, that
have been regularly passed by the
law-making department of the
state of Alabama. The people of
the state will await with much in
terest and concern the result of
the legal battle, which will practi-
cally determine whether a sover-
eign state is able to control and
successfully regulate public SER
vice corporations doing business
within its bounds.

Meridian is affected by a social
sensation. John B. Eastland mar
ried Mrs. Evans Bozeman, several
months ago, the lady having first
secured a divorce from her hus-
band, q son of the late DR.. j. w.
Bozeman. Eastland has now been
arrested for trying to forcibly de-
tain his wife from going back to
her people at Iuka. The woman
in the case is a niece and adopted
daughter of the late ex-Gov. John
N. Stone and was a reigning belle
at the State capital during his ad-
ministration as chief magistrate.
Eastiand had pistol on when
arrested. Col. II. Nj. Street be-
friended the abused wife and had

The warning tongs met at the fish

their grievances, but the meeting fiz-

In the forenoon a delegation of Chi

waited on Attorney General Peters
and, having obtained advice from him
on certain matters, repaired to the
fishmarket, where a crowd of several
hundred Celestials had gathered.
The police, fearing disorder, were
present in force but their services were
not requisitioned.
Shortly after two o'clock a ChinaInan

PANESE VIEW
Of LIQUOR BILL
Editor Shiozawa Gives Opinions
of Himself and Holders
of Licenses.

Editor c. Shiozawa of the Hawai-
Shinpo says he was not reported cor.
reetly by the chronicler of Little
Talks" He dictated the following
statement of his attitude on the saloon
question and liquor legislation to a re-
porter:
never heard of the japanese sa-
looms here having a demoralizlng ef-
feet on the japanese in town. 1 in
terviewed half dozen leading Japa-
nese today and every one Of them de-
ciared that they do not see any bad
effect of Japanese saloons so far as
japanese residents are concerned.
My personal convictions about this
liquor bill-Senate Bill No. s1-make
me opposed to it. because of that limi-
tation of one license to each 1900 of
population. That would necessarily
cut 80 per cent of the present Iapa-
nese dealers out of business. There
arc q licenses all told-wholesale and
retail-held by Japanese in Honolulu
at present. Among them at least four
or five have followed the business over
ten years and, so far as / know, the
Japanese dealers are all law-abiding.
They stick to the regulations and no
complaint is heard of them.
Even those who have opened with
in the past two years, since the present
law went into force, started not with
the intention of continuing only one or
two years, but, while they obeyed the
regulations, naturally supposed that
they could follow the business as long
as they wished. That is what they put
their capital in for.
IF this bill 81 goes into effect, then
through no fault of theirs they will
have to shut down business. which
would be a hardship to them.
Il have no objection to amendments
making the regulations stricter than
at present, but only to the proposal to
shut down the business Of those now
holding licenses entirely. That is
what a number of Japanese licensees
have said to me-they will observe any
5Ssdiations that may be imposed by
law, but object to having their Ii
censes taken away altogether
'It was rumored that a meeting was
held in the Governors office the other
censes under the proposed new law
was made, leaving only one license,
and that wholesale, to the Japanese.
I spoke to Governor Carter about it
and he fatty denied the rumor."

LOCAL. OPTION
IS RESCUED
Much Discussed Bill Is
Finally Voted Into
Life.

After backing and filing for the past
week, threatening and cajoling by turns,
the House members decided on Satur-
!. day to pass the Local Option bill. Ka-
leiopu and Pail, who had led the forces
of the opposition and talked harder
against the bill than any others, voted
aye when it came to the scratch and
Kaniho was absent. 1t is said that the
bin is reasonably sure to be passed in
the Senate.
Another Senate bill bit the dust on
Saturday, this being the Married
Teachers bill The measure was
tabled on the report of the Education
committee, the only reason presented
being that the members had carefully
considered the bill. There is just a
little suspicion in the air that a tip
had been passed out that the Senate
Education committee had passed the
death sentence on the Teachers Pen
sion bill and the House committee had
thought only to get their work in first.
The most interesting discussion of
the day was that over Sheldon's IS laun-
dry bill, which was laid aside AS a
measure calculated in some way to Gre
ate monopoly and raise in prices
Sheldon fought hard for his measure,
but it was amended beyond recognition
and then expeditiously slaughtered,
even its fond parent voting against it.
Morning Session.
The House amendments to the SEN
ate's Billboard bill were concurred ir.l
by the upper chamber, according to the
first communication read in the House
Saturday morning.

The new crematory in Oahu ceme-

American crematories We're utilized,
particular attention being paid to the
s1raughts which do their work quickly
and thoroughly. The heat is forced
into the chamber in which incineration
takes place, as air is forced through a
blowp:pe, the degree of heat being of
course greatly beyond that which could
be indicated by any ordinary ther-
mometer.
There is nothing whatever gruesome
about the crematory. 1t is a low strue-
ture built of volcanic stone, with d
tail smokestack. At no time are odors,
or even smoke, apparent. When a Ger

is a slight simmer Of heat over he

The shell containing the body is
placed upon a low car which can be

is rolled into the low incinerating cham

The first body received was that of a
half-Hawaiian woman from F1ilo who,
in her last illness, made request that
her body be cremated. In order that
there might be no failure to comply
with this request, she insisted that she
be brought to Honolulu. which was
done, although she lived but a few
hours after her arrival. Her wish was |
carried out and it was woman who |
thus lent her influence to the better and /

PUNCHBOWL
LOTS REPORT.
Joint Resolution for
Land Commission
in Senate.

!. When Senator Coelho loses his temper
over newspaper article it is a sign
That was his condition Saturday morn
ing when he read the comment on his
action relative to communication
from the Board of Health referring
TO the salary and works of the bac-
teriologist which had laid unattended
for several days on the desk of SEN
ator. AS chairman of the Health COM
mittee Senator Coe1ho felt aggrieved.
He did not want to be considered a
man who would neglect his duty, par
ticularly when that duty had never
been called to his attention. He was
not aware that a communication had
been received, for it came during his
absence ON Maui and was reposing
snugly in the desk of Senator Smith,
who considered it matter for action
by the conference committee.
This was the explanation given by
senator Smith after senator COelnO ndd
threatened to have the Advertiser man
ruled off the course If he failed to
appear forthwith and say why he had
intimated neglect on the part of the
man from Maui.
These little occurrences show that
even a session of the Legislature has
its compensations. In connection with
the Health committee it is timely to
mention that Senator Makekau re-
ceived an answer to his request for
information relative to the intention
of the Board in the matter of the
Wallach. The Senator from the Hama
kua section did not express an opin
ion on the letter but the expression
on his countenance spoke volumes. He
will probably be heard from today with
a motion to reconsider the salary ap-
preparations bill in so far as it applies

Perhaps the thing on which the peo-

most pin their hopes, is the breakwater.
Its cost will chiefly consist of payment
of laborers in quarrying and dumping

,ture in Hilo of large annual sum
for some years to come. This will be

H|LO PROSPECT

Mr.. Thurston's Impressions of
His visit---The BreakWater
and Railroad.

Editor Advertiser: Having spent the
four weeks last past on the Island of
Hawaii, some of the things which I
observed there may be of interest to
readers of the Advertiser.
SPIRIT OF HILO.
The change of spirit pervading the
people of Hiio was one thing that par
ticularly attracted my attention. For
several years past there has been more
or less of an apathetic spirit shown;
waiting for something to turn up
without very much hope that the turn
would come; general business has been
dull and good many of the white resi-
dents have gone away. There is
marked change in the feeling manifest
ed, evidenced in a number of ways,
from a variety of causes.

PINEAPPLE CANNERY.

The establishment of pineapple
cannery has contributed. A neat, we'll
equipped building near the Wailoa
river, is about completed, and will be
ready to take off this summers crop.
The crop will not be large, but the
company is offering $3.50 per ton for
the green fruit, which is a good figure,
and as the output is from four to ten
tons per acre, it is certain that more
pines will be planted at an early date.
It is probable that the company itself
will plant some pines. There is large
area of pineapple land adjacent to Hilo.
MAHOGANY LUMBER COMPANY.
The Mahogany Lumber Company is
doing it's share to put life into Hilo.
Mr.. r. w. Shingle of the Henry Water
house Trust Company is devoting a
large portion of his time to the promo
tion and financial management of the
company and Mr.. E. H. Cant is the
energetic executive manager on the
ground. The company has widened its
scope and is planning to produce rail-
road ties and frewood, on large side,
as well as koa lumber. 1t is pushing
it's operations with great energy. Sew
eral portable steam donkey engines are
pulling down the trees; two locomotives
are operating on about six miles of
railroad already completed; a sawmill
is turning out from two TO three hun
dred ohia ties a day; the large koa
mill and a second tie mill will shortly
be in operation; railroad will be i'm
mediately constructed connecting the
present road near the volcano house
with the Hilo railroad at Glenwood, %
miles from Hilo. The company has a
large payroll and is paying cash as it
goes There is an immense market for
ohia railroad ties as well as for koa
lumber, and a forest supply that will |
last for many years. The lumber COM
pany is destined to cut a large figure |
in the awakening of Hilo.
