LIQUOR.

The grand jury has confined its in
vestigatiOns to the sale of liquors on
Sunday nights in the cafe attachments
OF saloons with the following results:
In some cases drinks are supplied to
the public. both male and female,
without any restrictions as TO the pur-
chase of meals or food in any form.
In the cafe attachments to several sa-
looms there are small rooms divided by
board partitions, where, in many in
stances. females congregate for immor-
NJ purposes. In one instance n saloon,
not equipped with small rooms as
above described. allows women to So
licit in its cafe. That the saloons
above referred TO are allowed to run
in open violation OF the law and with
out police interference. there is no
question. In another instance the sa-
loon runs its cafe attachment with alb
solutely no concealment in regard to
the open violation or the law. the sale
OF liquors on Sundays. Drinks are
served in plain view of the public, the
ordinary screen or swinging doors not
being in evidence. no doubt to better
inform the passers by that liquors may
be obtained on Sunday, without the

the Southern States and California
has also the following concerning the
attractions of Hawaii:
The trip over the placid waters of the
Pacific to the Sandwich Islands is be-
coming one of the favorite voyages
at all seasons of the year. In happy
Hawaii it is always June with never
any extreme of heat or cold. The trees
are always green, flowers bloom in
tropical profusion, and the invigorating
air of the ocean is always pleasant and
refreshing.
Situated on the world-famous Wal
iyiki beach road, three and half miles

From the roof garden which crowns
the structure, wide stretch of obser-

Mrs. Joaquina Saucedo, mother of Mrs
Paul Neumann and Mr.. Herman Dink-
lage, died yesterday at Acapulco, Mex
leo, according to a cablegram received

doubtedly, to a stroke of paralysis

age. She has been in Honolulu en-
many occasions, visiting with her
daughter, Mrs. Neumann, and was

She was thought to be well, however,
for cablegram was received by rela-
tives here on New Years Day offering
her love and greetings for the new
year. Her husband, Andres Saucedo,
survives her. Mrs. Paul Neumann
was with her at the time of her death.

MORE MONEY
IS WANTED
Half a Million Increase
Asked for Public
Services.

With the Judiciary Department, the
Board of Agriculture and Forestry, the
Secretary's office and the Militia to
hear from, Governor Carter finds a net
| increase in the departmental appropri-
ations requested amounting to s57S,000
over the appropriations for the current
biennial period. Only the Auditing De-
partment shows a decrease OF its
wants, which it does both, in salaries
and expenses.
This the Governor does not deem too
bad in view of the growing needs of
all the large spending departments. 1t
is $3.50. ZOO year all told. The depart
ments yet to send in their estimates
ought not to swell the increase
greatly.
How to treat the estimates of ex-
penditures can not be decided of course
until the estimates of anticipated rev.
enue are prepared.
Superintendent Holloway wants $685.
600 of an increase for the Public Works
Department About $4,000 of this is
for improvements and repairs of
wharves. The principal work in this
line will be the enlargement of the
Hilo wharf, and next to that wharf ex-
tension at Hanapepe, Kauai.
Additional money will be needed to
complete the Nuuanu dam. General
expenses are estimated to require $780,
900. or double the amount for this
period
Few people are aware of the fact,
Mr.. Holloway said yesterday, that the
Department of Public Works collects
more revenue than it disburses.
1.-The receipts of this department for
last year were $2SS, ass and the expend1-
lures 1883 making a balance of
sSS, 122 to the good.
1T is to be remembered, also, that
the maintaining of the Government
property of the other departments falls
upon the Department of Public Works.
The care of the sewers and the repair
ing of courthouses and jails are in
cluded.''
To a query as to what the Territorial
would do for maintenance
of their services if the counties, as
seemed to be proposed in some quar-
ters, took over the principal revenue
producing utilities. Mr.. Holloway smil-
ingly remarked that it was noticeable
there was no agitation for county con-
troll of the services that cost more than
they earned-sewers, for instance.

The grand jury has devoted much

rotoriously carried on. apparently with
little or no police interference. The
grand jury is of the opinion that, while
private gambling is indulged in by
other than Orientals, no regularly-es-
tablished gambling games are in oper-
alton The apprehension of this latter
class is practically impossible, and,
while the practise is deplorable. the
grand jury believes that the evil results
therefrom are not so demoralizing as
in cases where gambling is made an
Industry. In the opinion of this grand
jury open public gambling can not ex-
list where the officers of the law do

in the fact that. after the investiga-
