SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 21.
After three days of what
amounts to inaction on its
part, the assembly Judiciary
committee has rejected all of
the remedial taxation and
holiday legislation proposed
by the governor and by the
senate, and the extra session
bids fair to be prolonged far
into next week, if not longer,
and the state left without
remedial legislation.
In any event there will be
no supplemental session.
Thanks to Grove L. johnson,
San Francisco must wait un-
til the regular session of 1909
for the adoption of the char
ter amendments not included
in the call for the extraordi-
nary session. Two special
subcommittee appointed for
that purpose will ask the as
sembIy judiciary COMMITTEES tomorrow
morning to adopt and report out sub
stitutes for the pending holiday and
tax collection bills. The tax collection
bill according to Assembiyman Bishop

TRYING To M|SLEAD
YOUNG SPANISH GIRLS

A most disagreeable matter has been
brought to the attention of the police
and to the Board of Immigration, this
being the fact that some of the most
| notorious PROGRESSES of Iwilei have
been frequenting the temporary quar-
ters of the Spanish immigrants at the
Channel wharf and attempting to in
duce some of the newcomers to enter
into bad life. Many OF the denizens
of the Iwilei district are Porto Rieans
and these have been taken down among
the newcomers, dressed in as good
dresses as were procurable for the oc
casion and ostentatiousfy displaying
jewelry and money, anything to induce
some of the young girls among the re-
cent arrivals to consent to, join the
ranks of the fallen. As these Porto
Rieans speak Spanish it is easy for
them to get on a friendly basis at
once with the immigrants.
AS soon as the report reached the
ears of the authorities steps were taken
TO counterfeit the influences of the
tempters and it is extremely probable
that these persons will be landed in
Jail If any evidence to convict them
can be secured. In the meanwhile the
Iwilei joints will be closely watched.
This matter is one of Importance to.
the Immigration Board and to the
Planters Association, who are morally
bound to look after these strangers I'M
nB shey are settled in positions where
an honest living is assured them.
Should the report reach Washington
that any of them have BEEN allowed
to- DRIFT into lives of shame within
few days after arriving on these shores
there are certain to be a great many
questions asked and possible stricter
enforcement of the immigration regu-
lations and laws insisted upon.
This matter, too, has revived the
whole TwiIei question and it was an
nounced at the police station yester-
day that vigorous campaign was to-
be commenced at once against the
hangers-on in the Porto Rican district.
There are at least ten desperate char
acters known by the police TO be living
in this place and subsisting on the
avai1s of crime Such men are
menace TO the community and are to
be made to turn their attention to some
kind of work and put up at least
pretense to decency. If they will not
work they will be sent over to the
reef and kept out of the public sight
and away from where they can do
other people harm.
On Monday last all the inmates of
the Iwilei road living between the o.
r. & L. depot and the new buildings
of the pineapple cannery were summon
ed to the police station and told that
they must move at once. All agreed
to do so and in the future the en-
ployes of the cannery viii be able to
90 to and from their work without hav-
ing to pass by any of these houses.

THE STREET NUMBERING
LAW NOT OBSERVED

Editor Advertiser: think it would
be we'll for the county authorities to
take up the matter of house numbering
and street naming which is at present
among the duties of the Superintend-
ent of Public Works but is as much a
local matter as road making.
The law reads:
1t shall be the duty of every person
owning any building fronting on any
street, road, or lane, in the district of
Honolulu to number the same within
so days after the receipt of a. desig-
mated number from the Superintendent
Of Public Works.
Penalty.-A fine of not less than five
dollars nor more than twenty-five dol
lars and further penalty of like sum
for every two weeks thereafter that
he shall neglect or refuse to properly
number
The Superintendent has, I under
stand, long ago notified property own
ers of their proper numbers, SO moth
ing remains now but to institute suits
oSeALASL llOSe III ueIaulC.
The residence portion of the city is
much more thoroughly numbered than
the business portion. 1t is interesting
to walk up Merchant street from Pa
lace Square to Nuuanu and note how
few have obeyed the law.
Another matter is the names of
streets. The Superintendent of Public
works has apparently given I'D this in
despair He has, I think, not asked
Tor an appropriation for the purpose
Tor several terms, and, of course. has
no funds to carry out the law. Sec
ton 6O1 Of the Revised Laws makes II
ms duty to place the names of...
....'..'. streets, roads and lanes at all
! Intersections Section 6na rro,v;5a.
| that "all expenses. shan he
paid out of the road moneys of the
| respective districts" This being so the
| supervisors have the power and means
IN their hands to carry out the law.
Respectfully,

Delicate Wash
Goods
ILLUSTRATED STORY NO. Is.

The ladies' thin, delicate wash goods
such as shirtwaists, skirts, negligees
and underclothing-are not worn out
ON your person It is the continual
washing.
It is the laundry.
It is not so much the way your
clothing is, handled, but it is the soaps,
hluing and starches that work ruin.
Now, because we launder hundreds OF
these garments weekly We naturally
know the best materials to use to give
the best satisfaction to our patrons.
We would not think of using soap
containing bit of I've on ladies'
clothes.
We would never dream of using the
common bluing of commerce.
We know by the analysis starches
that contain acids and we do not buy
them.
We keep studying and experimenting
al the time IN a scientific way how to
launder
Don't you think it would be safe to
intrust US with your work?
