Albany has its plans for a new
city hall. The third floor will be
devoted entirely to military pur-
poses, with a fine drill hall. This
is an excellent idea. A local
military company is part of tie
police force of community and
should be well looked after.

GAZETTE BUSINESS
REQUIRES MORE ROOM

Commencing with the New Year, the
be in its new quarters on King street,
in the Waikiki portion of the prem
ises now occupied by Wall, Nichols
Company, a change which will be ap-
preciated by the many having business
dealings with the Advertiser and the
Hawaiian Gazette Company generally
The moving of the business depart
ment to the ground floor of the Ga
zette building will make more room
for the editorial staff, which will move
from its present rather restricted quar-
ters into the rooms at present used by
the business department. The present
editorial rooms will in turn be used
partly to enlarge the Gazette stock
room and partly for an enlargement
of the Advertiser library, which has
long since outgrown the room orig
inally set apart for it. In the new
editorial room section will be set
apart for the editorial staff Of the
Kuokoa, which has been crowded out
of the Gazette building for some
months.
The growth of the business of the
Gazette Company during the past year
has been extraordinary, considering
business conditions generally through
out the city, and for months practi-
cally every department in the mechan-
ical section of the business has been
overworked and behind in its orders
The new machinery installed within
the past six months, and the shifting
around of the departments TO allot
them additional room. has enabled
them to turn out quicker and better
work during the past month, however,
and the large number of orders in
have now been practically caught UP
with.
One of the important additions TO
the Gazette offices has been the fur
nishing of a new art and half-tone de-
partment, new machines and up-to-
date appliances having been installed.

CANADIAN DOOR SHUT
To HAWAIIAN JAPANESE

Consul Saito yesterday received a
cablegram from Baron Hayashi, Min
lister of Foreign Affairs of Japan, of
fcialIy confirming the fact that Jap
anese contract laborers from Hawaii
will hereafter be excluded from Cana
da. a translation of the dispatch was
given out by the consul as follows;
81. The Canadian foreign labor laws
will hereafter affect any alien immi-
grants coming from Hawaii
SO. The Canadian foreign labor laws
prohibit contract laborers from enter
ing into the Dominion, the same as the
United States contract labor laws.
Those coming at the solicitation of
others are prohibited from landing.
So According to Section 13 of the
Canadian foreign labor laws, citizens
of countries where contract labor laws
are in effect are affected in their case
the same as in the United States"
Mr. Saito intimates that these ad-
vices make it clear that no more Japa-
nese from Hawaii may enter Canada
under conditions such as those who
went hence in the Kumeric and Indi-
ana entered that country under.

MONEY IN SPONGES
AND D|AMONDBACKs

''If the government at Washington
is spending money to experiment in
the raising of sponges and the breed
ing of diamondback terrapin, it strikes
me that Hawaii ought to benefit" said
]. ]. Williams yesterday. why does
not someone get busy and have some
of the government money spent here
for experiment?''
The attention of Mf. Williams had
been called to a press report in the
last received Coast files in which it is
stated under a Washington date-line
that the Federal government is now
spending $4,000 annually in its work
among the commercial fisheries. The
part which most appealed to Mr.. Will
liams said:
Two interesting experiments are be-
ing conducted by the commission at
the present time-the cultivation and
the propagation of sponges and dia-
mondback terrapin. The meek and
lowly sponge has long been in need
of an official chaperon, because fish
ermen have snatched sponges of all
sizes without regard for the generation
vet to come. The result has been
constant decrease in the supply, both
in size and quality. Great work is be-
ing done at Cape Florida in the build
ing up OF sponge plantations. During
the past year the Florida sponge crop
exceeded 81, 500, 900 in value.
The work of breeding the diamond
back terrapin is under way. This rep
tile has been growing scarce because
the fishermen have captured male ana
female of all stzes and have no
thought of the future. n
Nov, the fresh waters OF Hawaii
are ideal for the diamondback terra
PIN" said Mr.. Williams, "and if there
is any money in raising them, why
should we not try it? The government
might experipent here to advantage,
at any rate.
Then there is the matter of sponges.
This is something that We ought to
look into. If Florida can produce a
million dollars, worth. why can not
we do as we'll, or better? The waters
about here are adapted for them, and
the sponges that grow here are pro-
no=nced of good quality

CALVE LOOKS
FOR $4,000
HOUSE
Cohen Corrects Her
ldeas--Three
q, Offers.

Yes, I have written Madame Calve
an response to her letter to me in re-
gard to a trip here and couple of
concerts" said ]. c. Cohen yesterday,
"'and I am hoping for a response that
will make her coming certain.
But it Is evident that the great
singer has some erroneous ideas re-
garding the size of Honolulu and the
seating capacity of our theaters. Her
letter shows that she has a pretty good
business head. She suggests two con-
certs with seats at 81 each and that
the houses ought to each be $4,000 or
$4,000 houses. OF course, such an
amount is not unreasonable in houses
like the Dreamland Rink, where she
has given concerts, in San Francisco.
The Dreamland Rink will seat 5000
people. But the Hawaiian Opera
House at the very outside will only
seat about $50 people, SO that it Is
clear that even at 81 seat and every
seat sold, no such amounts as she
suggests can be realized, and, of
course, the sale of every seat in the
house at 81 can not be expected.

The proprietors of two japanese bill
lard parlors, one in Iwilei and the
other in Palama, were arrested early
this morning for keeping open their
places of amusement after midnight,
thus running over into Sunday. For
some time the police have been watch
ing these many newly-opened pool
rooms closely, suspecting some of them
of being blind pigs, but the arrests
this morning have been the only ones
made on any charge. The rules and
regulations for these places are sup
posed to be made out by the Terri
toriaI Treasurer. but SO far they have
been allowed to run without any reg
ulatfons at all. The only regulation
the police have other them is in see
ing that the Sunday Observance law
has not been violated.

H. ]. JOHNSTON
DIED YESTERDAY
Popular Business Man Victim
of Typh0id---Wife in
California.

His many friends were shocked yes
terday to hear that Harry ]. Johnston,
the customs broker, had died about 9
o'clock that morning in the Queens
Hospital. He had been confined there
nearly two weeks with typhoid fever
and on Friday night, his condition be-
coming hopeless, cablegram was sent
TO friend in California to prepare
Mrs. Johnston, visiting in San Fran
cisco, for the worst. A cablegram was
sent yesterday to the bereaved wife
announcing the expected as having
happened. 1t. was reported later that
Mrs. Johnston left in the Alameda for
Honolulu that day.
The late Mr. Johnston was born and
educated in san Francisco. Starting in
business life as clerk in a law office
he afterward became clerk to a GUS
toms broker. He took up this business
for himself as a member of the firm
of Johnston & Fulton, but left San
Francisco to start an office in the
Klondike. Returning, he stayed in San
francisco but a short time until he
was engaged by Hind. Rolph & Co. to
come to Honolulu and conduct their
brokerage work Two years ago he

ibranehed out for himself and soon won
recognition as an expert, plotting a
number of customs disputes through to
success for his clients. His largest af-
fair was that of the sake duties, which
at his death was pending in the Fed
eral court in San Francisco. With
Fitch as counsel he had won
at various previous stages of the con-
tfoversy, and he was confident both
of winning in San Francisco and of
that ending the efforts of the Treas
ury Officials to assess the rate of duty
they claimed. Final success would have
meant, it is said, about half a million
dollars in commissions to Mr.. Johnston
With his wife he leaves. three yohng
daughters who are absent with their
mother. Mr.. Johnston belonged to the
Masons and the Elks. Kindly and
genial in disposition. he was well lik-
ed by all who knew him.

have made her three separate offers.
One was an offer to handle the con-
certs on a purely percentage basis.
Another was to handle it on a per-
centage basis, with a guarantee that
her portion of the receipts would not
be less than a certain amount The
third is an offer of a lump sum for
two concerts.
'Of course, I expect that my state
ment that no such gross receipts as
she speaks of are possible with our
seating capacity, and with a commu-
nifty of this size, will be a surprise to
her, and unless she really wants to
visit Honolulu anyway, may decide her
not to come, as, of course, the 4,ossi-
bilities here are not commensurate
with her earning capacity on the
mainland. But 1 have tried to pre-
-sent to her the beauties of the place
and the pleasure she will undoubtedly
derive from visit here, and I have
hopes that she will come. If she does,
1t will certainly be the greatest event
in the musical and dramatic history
of the Hawaiian Islands. No other ar
tist of anything like her rank in her
profession ever made the trip speciai-
ly to Honolulu. Most of the artists of
note who have appeared here profess
sionally have been passing through.
II believe, however, that if she comes

tistic reputation and will fill the Opera
House at both concerts

LAWFUL MURDERS
BY JAPANESE
Details of Double Crime in
Konokaa-One Homicide
Is Arrested.

The full particulars of the double
murder which took place in Honokaa
on Christmas Eve were given yester-
day in the Hawaii Shimpo. The two
victims were Yoshindo Sugioka. the
proprietor of a Japanese hotel in Ho-
nokaa, and court interpreter in that
locality, and a woman named. Tame,
to whom he had been giving protection
while she was prosecuting her former
lover in the courts. Sugioka was one
of the most highly respected japanese
in that section of Hawaii, and was
well known in this city.
The following tale of the murder is
.xold: Japanese named Fukuda, who
had ill-treated the woman Tame, ac-
conpanied by friend of his named
Mytsui, entered Sugioka's office in the
hotel Just after he had finished his
supper. They asked for the woman.
saying that they wanted to see her
very much. At first they'were refused,
but when Sugioka found that they in
sisted, he called in the woman.
Sugioka stayed and listened to the
conversation which took place. Fu-
kuda began to talk loudly and to call
the woman bad names. then pulling a
revolver from his pocket and firing at
her. hitting her in the left ear, the
bullet passing through her head and
coming out on the opposite side. She
staggered and fell to the floor, Mytsui
seizing her as she fell and cutting her
throat.
Then Fukuda advanced on Sugioka,
saying: You have protected this
woman and now you are going to go
to hell" He fired at him and hit him
in the heart. Mytsui jumping on him
as he fell and stabbing him in the
shoulder.
The two murderers attempted to
make their escape. but the police cap
tured Mytsui shortly afterwards and
are now searching for Fukuda-
