Nd ARRESTS FOLLOW
JAPANESE SHOOTING

The aftermath of the shooting which
took place at Waikiki Saturday night
| at first seemed to offer some chance for
| investigation by the police, but finally
dwindled down to insignificance. The
county would not prosecute Hawes, as
he did the shooting when his house had
been invaded by Japanese who had
no business there, and bearing the old
saying that a man. house is his castle,
County Attorney John Cathcart advised
against issuing a warrant for Hawes'
arrest unless on a complaint sworn to
by the injured man. Then, of course,
the warrant would have to be issued,
but the case against Halves would be
very weak indeed.
Another matter, however, was taken
up which promised to be interesting.
This was to find out whether the
weapon which was used by Hawes had
been registered according to law. If it
was not registered the owner was la
BILE to be fined as much as $500. The |
matter was investigated by the Sheriff, |
but it turned out that the press OF
work has been so great in the County /
Clerks office that, while over 1000 reg
istration blanks have been made out,
there has not yet been an opportunity
to sort them and make a record book.
The blanks are at present piled up in
the County Clerks safe, and to find out
if a registration blank had been filled
out would require going through every
blank in the Office. For this reason II
was decided to allow the matter to go
,or the time being.

ATKINSON, WISE AND
THE HOUSE JOURNAL

John Wise, clerk of the last House OF
Representatives, yesterday fled with
Secretary of the Territory Atkinson five
volumes of c. r. Buckland s compila-
tion of the House Journal, but without
his certifcation of its correctness. With
them he sent letter stating that be-
cause of omissions in the compilation
ne was unable to attest its correctness
as the House Journal.
Secretary Atkinson at once wrote a
letter acknowledging the receipt of the
five volumes and the letter, and ask
ang him for three copies of the House
Journal at once. for transmission to
the President, the President of the
Senate and the Speaker of the House
in accordance with the requirements of
the Organic Act. He also asks Wise
to enumerate the omissions in the Buck
land compilation.
Wise had not received Atkinson s
letter last evening, but will probably
receive it first thing this morning.

EVANGELICAL
ASSOCIATION
Eighty-Fifth Meeting Came to
a Close at Noon
Yesterday.

The Evangelical Association closed
its eightyffth meeting yesterday al
noon. An address by Rev. Mr.. Thwing
upon the two great Asiatic conventions
was heard with deep interest, after
which Rev. John Kalino spoke upor
the Influence of Music on Hawaii.
He was followed by Miss F. r. Yarrow
whose paper entitled "The Kind OF
Music Our Sunday Schools Need' was
so thoroughly appreciated that the as
sembly voted to ask for its publica
tion in the Hoaloha.
Among the important actions taken
was an enthusiastic vote to send Rev
WI W. Lono to Apaiang in November
to attend the Jubilee of the Micronesian
Mission. Mr. Lono was formerly a
member of this mission. After full
debate the association decided to in
stitute campaign of evangelism by
appealing to the churches of all the
islands to cooperate In a special mis-
sion. Kaumakapih, Wainee, Haili and
Kapaa churches were requested to loan
their pastors for two or three months,
SO that they may go two and two
with Mr.. Timoteo throughout the en-
tire group. Features of this movement
will be double visitation of all Ha-
waiian families, so far as possible, on
Kauai, Oahu, outside of Honolulu, Mo
lokai, Maui and Hawaii
A tragic incident was the calling of
Rev. Messrs. Kopa and Gulick to the
bedside of the dying veteran Pastor
John Kauhane of Waiohinu who was
taken i'll few days ago and borne to
the Queens Hospital. Mr. Kauhane
was ordained in 1868 and for A years
has stood nobly at his post in Kau.
When Hawaii sent its delegation to
attend the great International Congre-
gational Council in Boston in 1899 Mr..
Kauhane was one of the four pastors
selected for this mission. In some
years ne mas U06u tOO ISSbIt W Uc
work, but he has stuck to his post.
There never has been a blot on his
good name He is loved and honored
wherever he is known for his pure,
blameless, upright life and sterling
character.
Rev. c. M Kamakawiwoole was
chosen a vice moderator of the asso
citation for the ensuing year, and a
program committee consisting of Rev.
Messrs. Desha, Hill, Parker, Shields
and Scudder was appointed to prepare
the order of exercises for the eighty
sixth anniversary. The meeting of 1907
will long be remembered for it's irenic
spirit, the large attendance of dele
gates and pastors, the enthusiasm for
work, the helpful program and the
splendid optimism of the entire assem-
,ly. The devotional services have been
specially enjoyed.

SURVIVAL Of
THE FIT TEST
Principle Suggested to
Limit Number of
Saloons.

A proposal to apply the principle of
the "Survival of the Fittest" in the
administration of the new Liquor Lii
cense law was put forward in an argu-
mentative way at yesterdays meeting
of the Board of License Commissioners
There are ninety-three applications
for licenses in this county, and the pub
lie hearings which are required by law
will begin June 21. The meeting yes
terday was more especially for the pur-
pose of considering and framing the
regulations and conditions which are
to be made a part of the license, in
addition to those provided in the law
itself, conditions and regulations which
the Board is authorized by the law
to make
The application of the principle of
the survival of the fttest was put for
ward by Commissioner Lucas, not dog
matically as something he had come
to an irrevocable conclusion on, but
tentatively and suggestively as some
thing that might be considered.
GA lot of these applicants will vio-
late the conditions of their licenses
within two months, anyway, no mat
ter what the conditions are,'' said
Commissioner Lucas, 'and then it will
be our duty to revoke their licenses, and
that will reduce the number of the
saloons.
ssI think myself, - said Commissioner
Gilman, "that good many of these
applicants would violate the conditions
of their license if they were given
chance. But ism It it our duty as
Board to investigate their character
as thoroughly as possible, and not is
sure viii violate them
sfBut you can't always tell in ad-
vance, replied Lucas, "whether a
man is that kind or not Where there
is nothing particular against a man,
we might be thought arbitrary if we
refused him a license just because we
did not think him quite fit. But if
we grant him license he takes it
knowing its conditions and if he vio-
Iates, those conditions he howls him.
self out. The license is revoked and
the number of saloons is reduced by |
the action of the saloonkeepers them |
selves.''
"Your proposal, Mr.. Lucas said
Commissioner Campbell, ''is that if we
grant licenses to everybody the saloon
keepers themselves will reduce the
number to those that are kept decently
and according to the conditions of the
law, and the government will get the
revenue from the larger number of IL
censes granted2'
"No,'' said Commissioner Lucas, q
don't say to grant licenses to every
body that applies, nor IN not in favor
of issuing licenses just for the sake
of the revenue. The Board is here
to try and enforce the law for the
best interests of the community, but we
can't make Sunday school business
out of it, and | don t think we ought
to try. What 1 mean is that we can t {
always tell whether a man will run
