PRIZE COMPETITION
IN SCHOOL 0RATORY

Early in January, Secretary Lyle A.
Dickey of the "Sons of the American
Revolution" wrote to the principals OF
the High, st. Louis and Kamehameha
schools and Oahu College, Offering
prizes of $40, $15, $40 and IS to the
schools that would present to the so
ciety the best orations in the order of
prizes on Patriotism"
After a little discussion between the
various principals. it was decided to
ask the society to modify their offer,
and give ten dollars to each of the
four schools, instead of giving one
large prize to the best of the four.
The society agreed, and the pupils of
the various schools wrote essays on
Patriotism and submitted them to a
committee of judges appointed by the
principals. At Punahou Miss Florence
Hoffman, was unanimously declared to
have the best paper in that institu-
ton. but at the High school the judges
found it a very difficult matter to de-
eide. They finally narrowed their
choice down to six pupils and it was
decided to let these six speak their
orations before the school and let the
pupils decide as to who had the best.
Two of these six declined to participate
in this contest, leaving four, Wa Chau,
Chang 10y, Helen Brown and Agnes
Cassidy, who spoke their essays yes
terday afternoon. By a majority of
10S votes, or almost unanimously,
Miss Cassidy was chosen to represent
the High school amid uproarious ap-
plause of the students.
Kamehameha and Saint Lotus are
yet to be heard from, but, as these are
both exclusively masculine schools. two
boys will compete with two young Ia
dies for the honors of the evening.

THE VALENTINE DANCE
OF HIGH SCHOOL SOPHs

THE Sophomore class of the Homo

ure of your company at a Valentine
dance to be given in Commercial hall
on Friday, Feb. 18th, at eight o'clock. :
so the dainty little invitations written
in purple and gold, the class colors,
read.
And at eight o'clock, a record break

dance" for the Sophomores have a
reputation of being good entertainers
and, as their parties are few and far
between. everybody makes a point of
attending, whenever there is one.
One could hardly recognize grim old
Commercial hall last evening, for I'M
der the skilful management of Misses
Florence Towse and Edith Smith, as
sisted by Messrs. Dan King and Har-
old tombstone, the hall looked like a
fairy bower or rather like Cupid's own
home Stretched from one corner or
the room to the other were little white
hearts suspended from strings of red
crepe. Little hearts. middle-sized
hearts and big hearts shone bravery
from the walls and windows, while fes-
toons of MALE and stalks of the UNI
brella plant had places of honor in the
corners.
In the rear of the room, eleven White
hearts. bearing letters which spelled
the words "Naught Nine on them,

SHERIFF IAUkEA
ON GAMBLING
Private Houses and Clubs Are
Not Molested by the
Officers.

''Some people may have gained the
impression" said Sheriff Iaukea to an
Advertiser reporter yesterday, that,
because so many gamblers have been
taken in by the police during the last
few months, the police raid every lit
tie game that takes place in Honolulu.
But that is not true, and such raiding,
I believe, would be illegal. 1t is the
purpose of this department to keep this
as well as other evils down as well
as possible, but we will not raid a
private house or a club where q gam
bling game is played unless complaint
is made, or we get reason to believe
that the game is being carried on Tor
the sake of gain. The places we have
been raiding lately are mainly notori-
GUS gambling resorts to which people
have been lured, and where the game
has been carried on in times past.
We will address every effort to sup
pressing everything inimical to the
interests OIL Tie 6tdtC al 81 AoA S~S y y
can without trespassing on the IN
dividual liberty of the citizens. AT
the clubs, for example, or at private
houses, several men will sit down to
game of poker among themselves, and
I would feel that I had no right &c
interfere in such case, unless, as
say, complaint were made. Also, the
police have access to the clubs at al
times, and it is very seldom, if ever
that anything underhand is carried or
there. The places that we really dt
look after, however, are generally
barricaded. and fixed SO that the in
mates can escape, or have a chanc'
to do SO, in case of a police raic. :,

SUPERVISORS To
GRANT LICENSES

The attorneys who have had charge
of the drafting of the bill for the liquor
dealers have submitted their draft to
the committee in charge, which accept
ed it with a few additions. The bill in
it's revised form differs in several par
ticulars from that originally proposed
In one section is embodied a proposal
to give the Board of Supervisors the
power to grant and revoke licenses.
The following section covers this:
Licensing Board.-There shall be and
there is hereby constituted in each OF
the several Counties of the Territory or
Hawaii a Board of Liquor License
Commissioners, which in each county
shall consist of the duly elected and
qualified Supervisors for the time being

the power, authority and discretion 10
grant liquor licenses to be granted up
on premises solely within the geograpn-
icaI limits of its County to applcanls
complying with the provisions OF TINS
Act.
The affirmative vote of majority
of each of such Boards shall be sum-
cient to determine any question com
ing before it for decision under TINS
Act.
1t furthermore provides that the
Board, on having charges before IL
against some license holder, snail give
the licensee a copy of the charges anu
set a date for a hearing, after "hica

THE SENATE
CHAMBER
Upper House Will Not
Take the Lower
Floor.

The Senate will hold its sessions in
the office Of the Secretary of Hawaii.
This was definitely settled yesterday
afternoon in a consultation held by
Secretary Atkinson with the President
designate of the Senate. E. Faxon
Bishop.
Earlier in the day Chief Clerk Man
uel Cook and assistants were pulling
things apart in the Public Works Of
flee, formerly the royal banqueting
hall, in preparation for vacating the
premises to give the Senate chamber
for holding its sittings during the en-
suing session of the Legislature. Sud-
denly the order was changed, the dis
joined fixtures were replaced and the
quiet OF clerical routine again reigned.
There was meeting of the Senators
now in town held yesterday morning,
when a preference for a chamber up
stairs was strongly declared. The ma
tive members were especially averse to
the Public Works office. And, curious
ly, their reason was the very thing that
had been urged on behalf of that place
that Is, proximity to the hall OF the
House of Representatives, the old
throne room, directly across the main
| hallway. These Senators did not wish
| to be on the same floor with the Rep
resentatfves. They objected that the
sessions of the Senate would be liable.
| in that situation, to unnecessary visits
/ of the members OF one branch of the
/ legislature to the chamber OF the
other.
Doubtlessly, though the details of the
| discussion have not been diyulged.
some of the Senators felt that the
| juxtaposition of the two chambers
might facilitate an undesirable amount
Of reciprocal buttonholing and lobbying
between the members of the two
branches.
It was hoped by Governor Carter
and Secretary Atkinson that the Gov

venient arrangements for the business

Senate took the Secretary's Office as II
the sessions of 1908 and 1905. On leav'
: ing to return to Waialua at O'CLOCK
; the Governor left the matter entirel,
with the Secretary to adjust.
Secretary Atkinson promptly sough
a consultation over the wire with Sen
ator Bishop, who while being sough

matter was quickly decided. Senate
Bishop having stated that the Senator
desired no place upstairs except tn
Secretary's office, Mr.. Atkinson vast
ed no time in discussion, but cheerful.
answered that the Senators should hav
! it as they wished.
} So the Secretary's office will be pre-
, pared for the reception of the Senat
before the opening of the Legislator
on Wednesday next. The desks o
members were placed in the upper hall
way of the Capitol yesterday ready 70
putting in position in whatever room
might be designated.
Secretary Atkinson will have tn

CELEBRATED CRIMINAL
AT THE PENITRNTIARY

Gerrity Van Wyke, who was convict
about year ago for killing q young
woman in order to secure her life in
surance, was brought to the peniten-
tiary on Tuesday under a life sent
ence.
The history of the Gerrity Van Wyke
case is one of the most notable in the
criminal annals of Colorado and at
tracted great interest in the eastern
part of the state, where the offense
was committed. Van Wyke and his
wife, who are Polish Jews, succeeded
in inducing a poor, homeless girl. who
lived on an adjoining place. to take
out a life insurance policy for several
thousand dollars, which was made
payable to the former on his agree
ment to keep the premiums paid up.
4 few months later the girl was
murdered and suspicion pointed to
Van Wyke and his wife as the guilty
parties. They were arrested and tried,
the husband being convicted and the
wife acquitted of the crime. Van
Wyke succeeded in getting a new hear
ing on writ of error and was sec
ond time convicted. He then appealed
the case to the supreme court, which
refused to set aside the decision of tho
lower tribunal. Van Wyke was de-
Tended by one of the best criminal
lawyers in the state.

is a well equipped laboratory, where
the pharmaceutical preparations are
made. All of the salts and heavier
drugs are kept in bins under the coun-
ters and are protected as far as pos
sible from light and moisture; the two
greatest agents in their deterioration.
At the rear Of the store is desk
for the use of the public, where a
check may be drawn or a postal card
written. 1t is supplied with writing
material of all kinds and will be found
very handy by people who desire a
out going home to do so. The desk
is at the head of the stairway leading
to the basement and is open to the
public at all times for the purposes
stated.
Another unique thing in connection
with the Palace Drug Store is its
basement salesroom, which is destined
to become very popular with its Gus
toners. A beautiful stairway leads
from the rear of the store into bril-
liantly lighted basement, where
handsome salesroom has been fitted up
by the firm. The walls are neatly
painted and 1t is an attractive apart
ment in every respect. Here all
special sales will be held and intend
ing purchasers will have exceptional
opportunities of inspecting the goods
to be disposed Of. This department is
sure to commend itself to the public
and may be expected to be initiated in
other mercantile establishments about
town.
