COMMISSIONERS
ARE ENJOINED
INJUNCTION ISSUED BY JUDGE DE
BOLT IN MOORE LICENSE MAT
TER.

The Board of License Commissioners
was to have taken up the matter of
alleged violation of the liquor law by
John d. Moore, proprietor of the Palace
Cafe, corner of Merchant and Richards
streets, at it's meeting yesterday after
noon, but the springing of judicial
injunction issued by Judge De Bolt or
the Circuit Court on the body as a
board and individually, stopped action
on the matter until the opinion of the
Attorney General could be had on the
subject.
BY the order the board was tenn
porarily restrained from "suspending
or revoking, and also from proceeding
and tori attempting, and (or) pretend
ing to suspend or revoke that certain
license mentioned in that said bill of
the complainant"
Moore is charged with selling liquor
on Sunday and after 1870 at night
without having secured special res
taurant privileges for so doing, and he
was arrested and brought for trial
yesterday in the police court on the
charge. He demanded a trial by jury
and was refused by Judge Whitney,
who bound him over to answer be-
fore the Circuit court
The temporary injunction of Judge
De Bolt is returnable in ten days, and
the Board will be asked to show why
the injunction should not be made per-
manent until the petitioner is found

ENDURANCE RACE
WAS TOO SLOW
AUTO WHICH MET ACCIDENT NOT
IN CONTEST AT TIME BECAUSE
TOO SPEEDY.

The criticism of the morning paper
in saying that the Endurance run on
Sunday as stated in yesterdays Star
was too slow seems to be rather dis
puted fact among those who were in
the run. Those in the run say, as has
been already stated in yesterdays Star,
that the time limit was entirely too
SLOW" The authority in the Adver-
tiser was not in the run at all. If
the run was any slower the cars would
have been obliged to go at such slow
speed that there would have been dan
ger to the engines of the cars.
Capt. Barneson, who met with the
accident, was out of the run at Haze
iva, as he was not willing to go as
slow as the time allowed, as well as
other cars in the run, and what is
more was not in the run at all at the
time of his accident. He was trying
to make a record between here and
Haleiwa.
"Automobiling is a good sport, and
one that requires nerve and good judg-
ment," said one of the competitors,
"and simply because an accident oc-
ours there is no reason why everyone
should say that the police should take
hand and prevent it. The accident
some weeks ago was one that could
not be avoided. A man who in step
ping off of a car should look around
and see if the road is clear. With
the fact clearly proven beyond any
shadow of a doubt that Dillingham;
was footing his horn, and from the
fact that his speed was not too fast
the accident should not be the cause
of universal condemnation of the
sport In France there are no speed
laws and the number of accidents
| are small"

responsible for the course of prices OF
petroleum and its products during the
last twenty-five years. The Standard
has consistently used it's power to raise
the price of oil during the last ten
years, not only absolutely, but also
relatively to the cost of crude oil"
The Standard has claimed that it has
reduced the price of oil; that it has
been a benefit to the consumer; ami
that only a great combination like the
Standard could have furnished oil az
the prices that have prevailed.
Each one of these claims" says
Commissioner Smith, us disproved by
the report. The Standard has con-
sistently used its power to raise the
price of oil during the last ten years
not only absolutely but also relatively
to the cost of crude oil F."
The increase in annual profits of ths
Standard Oil Company from 1896 to
1904 was over $27OOO,OOO. The report
says:
THE total dividends paid by the
Standard rom 1882 to 1906 were $751;
922,124, averaging thus 24.15 per cent
per year. The dividends, however,
were much less than the total earn
ings. 1t IS substantially certain that
the entire net earnings of the Stand
ard from 1882 to 1906 were at least
$79O,OO0,O00, and possibly much more
These enormous profits have been bas.

TENNIS MATCHES
NEARING A CLOSE
GAMES TODAY MAY INDICATE
WHO WILL CONTEST FOR THE
FINAL HONORS.

In the tennis matches yesterday aft
ernoOn at the Beretania Club courts
McKeeyer, Lowrey and Cooke were
able to defeat their men and the games
today, will give people a chance to
figure out who will meet Roth for the
championship In the first match be-
tween McKeeyer and Krumbhaar some
fine tennis was played and although
Krumbhaar played the more brilliant
game Of the two McKeever never had
to exert himself to win. McKeever
won by the score OF GO, 1913.
To the surprise of every one Allan
Lowrey defeated S. H. Derby by the
score of Sc, 81. Dick Cooke was very
much better than Harold Dillingham;
and was able to win without exerting
himself very much by the score of 6-2,
6-3. In the final match of the day be-
tween Williamson and Grey some OF
the best tennis that has been seen for
many day was played, darkness be-
ing the cause of the match not being
finished In the first set Grey won by
the score of 6-3, but in the second sci
Williamson was able to win by the
score of rs. The third set was IL
when the match was called on account
of darkness. Today at 4:30 on the Pa.
cific Club courts Cooke will play Nc.
Keever and some good tennis can Dt
expected On the Beretania Clut
courts at o'clock the Grey William,

of this match will play the winner o.

The Examiner of August says
OH, JOY!
Those of us who annex our three
squares per diem by telling what has
happened out at the ball park, have
fought rehgiously against using this
expression 1t was so obvious that
any man who has any respect for his
craft would hesitate before sending it
to the composing room.
OH, JOY!
That's the only thing possible to
say Obvious or not, it fits the situa-
ton. For the fellow who wears this
name with a prefix of Barney carried
off the honors in yesterday afternoons
contest. His name coincidentally hap
pens to voice the feelings of San Fran
cisco rooters, He is the cheapest
pitcher in the league, Danny Long hav-
ing bought HIM for $125 more than
song. At the same time, however,
ne is the best man, from a boxoffice
standpoint, of any slab artist in the
entire organization.
After a week so disastrous that the
Seals failed to gather the winning end
Of even one battle, Long sent in his
low-priced man and won. For the
Seals to win was a matter of surprise,
at best But, when they ambled off
with the long end of the score on the
strength of a cheap pitchers work, it
was to marvel.
Just exactly two safe hits were
garnered from Barney's delivery dur
ing the nine periods. He not only held
the trans-bay wallpapers down to this
due of clouts, but he also succeeded in
striking out nine of them. If Hawaii
could have been there in a body, all
its sun-tanned natives would have
been justified in starting something.
Barney was the fellow and the only
fellow, who, during an entire week
series, was able to let Van Haltren
know that his outfit could be beaten
at least once in a while.
Barney however, had his troubles.
In the very last frame, with the score
three-nothing against the Commuters,

ROCKEFELLER REsIsTs THE BIG
FINE-COMPANY GETS ANOTHER
ADVERSE REPORT.

CLEVELAND, August Judge
Lands will be dead a long while be-
fore this fine is paid. In fact many
things will happen before that"
This is the only direct comment,
public or private, that John d. Rookie
Teller is known to have made on the
$29, 100000 fine since it was imposed
last Saturday. Such ats it is, it indi-
Gates the attitude of the oil king to-
ward the Federal judge, and it por-
tends the determined fight that is to
be made to upset the Lands decision.
Otherwise Rockefeller's poise has not
been at all disturbed by the staggering
blow that has been aimed at the great
industrial giant of his building; his
nonchalance is superb.
