UNDER PRESENT Law.

The present liquor law went into
effect on July and since that time the
number of arrests made by the police
and by the police acting with the in
spector have been thirty-six and the
convictions obtained fifteen. During the
corresponding period last year the ar
rests were eighteen and the convictions
six.
REASON FOR PUBLICITY.
Mr.. Ballentyne was seen by. an Adj
vertiser representative on Thursday
and the differences between the Board
and the police were discussed, but moth
ing for publication was given out, Mr..
Ballentyne stating that he thought it
for the best interest of the community
that the friction beween the two bodies
be not made public.
In view of the fact, however, that it
is believed that the matter has been
discussed in the Civic Federation and
that a certain amount of it has been
discussed in public, Sheriff Iaukea gave
out the correspondence yesterday. Mr.
Ballentyne has not yet answered the
reply sent to him, but letter express
ing the further views of the License
Commissioners is in preparation.
TAYLOR IS STATEMENT.
The statement of Chief Taylor, re-
ferred to in the letter OF Sheriff Iaukea,
was to the effect that he had instructed
Leal and Madeiros to be careful not
to exceed the authority given them
under the search warrant, the police
having been given one or
two sharp lessons already in the matter
The report made by Leal which also
accompanied the sheriff's letter, was to
the effect that he had refused to break
open the door of the store to be search
ed or to enter by the window, advising
the inspector to wait until the owner
returned with the keys.
At that time the inspector accused
the two policemen of trying to throw
him down and stated that if be had
known the way they were going to act
he would never have brought them with
him.

"a liar and dishonest person. Once
an informer has been subjected to such
a searching analysis in the courtroom,
he absolutely refuses to again act in
a similar capacity.
One of the most difficult phases OF
police work, not only in Honolulu but
elsewhere, Is the securing Of a class
of informers whose testimony viii be
taken at its real worth before a judge
and jury. The class that is willing to
do such work is not that especially de-
sired by the police. but nine times out
Of ten the types OF this class are the
only ones available. In too many in
stances, the informers, being of a more
or less unintelligent and irresponsible
type, are bungling in, the work assign
ed them.

who may have knowledge that game

the police. and the officers. having d.
rect information as to the location.

eessful in effecting the raid. The in
former, meanwhile, has lost himself in
the darkness.
The enclosed letter Of Chief Detective
Taylor accompanied by the statement
of Officer Leal gives the police version
of the Faria case, and ought to satisfy
the board as to the good faith and in
tent shown by the officers In the exc
cution Of their duties.
I wish to take this opportunity to
state that the Police Department is,
and always has been, most willing to
cooperate, tremendously. with the Lii
eense COMMISSION and its agent in sup
pressing Illicit liquor traffic. You may
be assured that the Police Department
may be depended upon to assist, as
well as to take the initiative. in re-
stricting the unlicensed sale of liquor
in the County of oahu.

ARRESTS AND CONVICTIONS.
Since the charge has been made that
the police had been neglecting other
duties in order to prosecute gamblers,
the statistics for the year have been
gone over to see what foundation might
be found for the charge and the figures
on the records show that instead of be-
ing neglectful, as compared with the
figures of the previous year, the number
of arrests had increased from thirty
nine to sixty-four in the county, and
the number of convictions from ten to
thirty-nine, an increase of two hundred
and ninety per cent.
The following are the official figures,
with the figures of 1906 given for COM

NO FIGHT OVER
THE new RATES
GREAT NORTHERN ACCEPTS TWO
CENT FARE AND COMMODITY
RATE BILLS.
OTHER ROADS WILL FOLLOW

st. Paul, April 21.-The Great North
ern railroad has decided to accept the
2-cent passenger fare and the commod-
ity rate schedule passed by the legis'
lature. Inasmuch as the acceptance OF
the new rates by the Great Northern
will mean that the other roads will be
compelled to take similar action, 1t is
a safe assertion that both schedules
will be accepted by the roads and the
pending suits yer the freight rate
schedule will be dropped. Both laws
go into effect May /.
No Further Litigation.
The announcement of the action OF
the Great Northern was made in the
house of representatives yesterday aft
ernon. Attorney General f. 7. Young
sent a communication to the house
stating that he had unofficial informa,
ton that there will be no further liti-
cation over rate schedules, and that
therefore he will not need the $4,000
appropriated by the legislature to pro-
vide money for fighting the suits.
Saving of s5,ooo,ooo a Year.
The definite announcement of the
action of the Great Northern, which
will result in a settlement of the entire
rate question in the state, was made
by Representative L. G. Spooner OF
Morris, chairman of the railroad COM
mittee. Mr.. Spooner stated that he
was authorized by President Louis w.
Hill of the Great Northern to an
| nounce that the Great Northern will
| put into effect both the 2-cent passen-
| ger fare in this state and the commod-
| ity rate schedule enacted by the legis-
lature.
MI. Spooner estimates that the new
schedules will result in saving the peo-
| pie of Minnesota $4,000, 900 a year in
transportation, passenger and freight.

Gunderson insists that he did not
mean to hold up the express office
when he went there; that it was not
even in his mind when he sent the por.
ter for the whisky. He was drunk, he
says, and the robbery was a drunken
freak.
Most Of the money was hidden in

EXPRESS ROBBIE RsENTENcED.
Man Who Got $4,000 From Express
Office Sent to st. Cloud.

st. Paul, April 21.-John Gunedson,
the young mar who held up Clerk Fred
Zimmerman in the Office of the North
ern Express company at the union de-
pot Tuesday night and compelled him
to unlock the safe and deliver $685. 900,
was yesterday given an indeterminate
sentence in the state reformatory at
ST. Cloud instead of a term in the peni-
Tertiary. The sentence was passed by
Judge Bum in the district court at 2
o'clock in the afternoon.
The l%eniency of the court was prob
ably due to the fact that Gunderson
made a clean breast of the matter and
willingly showed the police where the
stolen money could be found. Chief
O'Connor spoke a good word for the
prisoner and told the court that in his
opinion Gunderson was acting in a
drunken rage when he committed the
robbery. as he was then smarting from
his recent discharge.

without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this period
likely to become active and with a
of nervous irritations make life a
burden. AT this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warming symptoms as sense
of s~uffocation, h~otlashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi-

the period of life when this great
change may be expected.

FINDS IRON MINE ON FARM.
Wisconsin Man Makes Rich Find
Causes Great Excitement.

Winona, Mimi. April 90. An iron
mine has been discovered at Fountain
City, about eight miles from Winona,
on the Wisconsin side OF the river. 1t
is on the land of Henry Roper, and a
vein of about Axe feet has been meow
cred. If it extends into the bluff for
any considerable distance the value of
the discovery is immense.
The manner of the discovery was
quite accidental. A large stone had be-
come loosened and rolled down the
side of the hill, leaving a great scar
where it had laid. Mr.. Roper in pass
ing noticed the soil beneath to be of
a color and appearance different from
that surrounding. A closer investiga-
ton showed that the pieces taken out
could be crushed almost to a powder.
1t was much heavier than common
soil.
Mr.. Roper took some of it to Foun-
tain City and a crude examination
showed that it is almost pure iron.
Fearing that there might be a mistake
various experiments We're made, but
all led to the conclusion hat the ma
terial was almost pure iron ore.
Mr.. Roper then uncovered the out
cropping and found it to be Axe feet
in size, and giving evidence of extend
ing far back into the bluff. The ore
a be removed easily, being almost
soft enough to shovel out.
The discovery has caused considera-
BILE excitement at Fountain City. and
in thai vicinity.
