AUTO RUNNING
ON THE RAILS

Chicago officials of the Rock Island
have received from Charles j. Glidden
an expression of commentator Of the
service which he received in a 1900
mile automobile trip over the rails OF
the Rock Island. Mr.. Glidden express
ed wonder at the ease with which his
automobile train" was handled and
the freedom from delays. The automo-
bile was accompanied over each divi-
sion by representative of the train
masters department. carrying con-
ductor's orders, and Glidden's function
in driving car was that Of engineer,
fireman and brakeman combined. He
had not authority over the movements
OF the car. So far as the train oper-
ating rules We're concerned, no intima-
ton was given that the "Glidden spe-
cial' was other than conventional
passenger or freight train.
Although highly pleased with the
success of the run. the Rock Island
officials let it be known that they do
not encourage an increased number Of
such trips, inasmuch as the regular
traffic of the line is usually great
enough to tax the capacity of the rails
They also say that the liability of ac-
cident is greater than they care to as
sumo. NIa

Women and minors barred from en-
tering a saloon.
No partitions or screens to be allow
ed in a barroom.
No person, firm or corporation to be
granted a license for more than one
place of business.
The draft bill provides for no cheap
country licenses, for no local option,
contains no citizens clause and vests
the power of granting or withholding
a license in the Territorial Treasurer.
OBJECTION TO THE DRAFT.
The reading of these points raised
chorus of objections among those pres
ent. Senator Rawlins and Mr.. Far
rington were especially of the opin-
ion that there should be further clas-
sifcation of licenses with lower fee
for country districts. Others suggest
ed that the number of licenses be
restricted according to population. This
suggestion was seconded by Smith.
cit is absurd the number of saloons
there are in Honolulu said the SEN
ator. 1T is an iniquitous, miserable
thing for the Hawaiians, for the me-
chanics and for the young people of
the city that there are so many of
these places. In a seaport town | re-
alize that there must be some saloons
and / think that prohibition is i'm
practicable but there should be limit
put upon them according to the popu-
lation.''
1t was the general opinion that a
board of license commissioners in each
county, wholly Independent in their
positions, should be empowered to is
sue the licenses. This board should
be named for each county by the Gov
ernor, not by the Supervisors, in or
der to keep it out of politics, the men,
beers to serve without pay and to have
arbitrary powers.
In this copnection Senator ID. Kanu-
ha proved himself practical politician
by wanting to know what was to pre-
vent a man with big money getting
next to the board and having license
issued to hint
1t was finally agreed that the bill
as drafted would be acceptable if
amended to include the creation of
county boards of license commissioners,
10 limit the number of licenses to be
issued according to population and to
regrade the classification of licenses
to lessen the $1,000 fee in rural dis
tricts.

CHINESE ARE
CELEBRATING

There was no installing the fact that
the Chinese New Year had come at mid.
night last night, pandemonium break.
ing forth IN every quarter of the town
in which there were any Chinese resi-.
dents, on the stroke of twelve. Wits.
ties, giant frecrackers, fireworks and
Chinese bands announced the event and
kept up the announcement for some
time to such an extent that it was
a hardy devil indeed who stayed it
through.
The principal point of merrymaking
was the Chinese United Society hall,
where the Bow Wongs held reception
until midnight, when they assumed the
name of the Chinese Reform Society
and installed their new officers. Their
hall had been gaily decorated for the
occasion with lanterns, greens, stream
ers and tiags, the dragon of China and
the Stars and Stripes being draped to-
gether. The occasion was enlivened
by music from a Hawaiian quintet
club and number of speeches from
the Chinese leaders.
Today from 11:30 a. IN. until 1880
p. m. the society will hold public
reception in their King street hall, a
general invitation to the public being
authorized by the secretary, Chang kim.
The reception committee will be COM
posed of some members in Prince AL
berts' to look after the comfort of
the haole guests and by others in the
Chinese costume.
While all Chinatown will be en- fete
to celebrate the beginning of the
thirty-third year Of the Emperor and
the 25O7th year of Confucius, the more
active part of the celebrating will be
done by the members of the Bow Wong
Society, which will be incorporated
from now on with the worldwide EN-
pire Constitution Society. This society
will parade this morning and hold open
house at their headquarters at the Chi
nese United Societies hall afterwards.
The parade, which will start at the
hall at o'clock this morning, will fol-
low this route: From the hall to Nu-
uanu avenue, up Nuuanu to Kukui and
thence to River street. Up River street
to Vineyard and along Vineyard to Lii
liha, thence back to King along Liliha.
From Liliha along King the process
sion will go to Maunakea street, then
to Beretania, returning to the hall via
Smith street. At the hall, on the re-
turn, the paraders will be addressed
by number of Chinese orators.
The parade will be led by float
representing the free Chinese press, the
string of papers owned in China and
the Americas by the society, following
which will be floats carrying the chill
dren of the Chinese schools managed
by the society. The Hawaiian band
will be next. followed by the members
of the society in uniform and the
dragon. Then will be long string of
automobiles and carriages, while fire.
crackers will bang from one end of the
parade to the other without intermis-
sion.
Throughout the Chinese quarter the
usual festivities and feasting will 60
on, every clubhouse and society hall
being thrown open to friends for the
occasion.
The official reception at the Chinese
Consulate will be held tomorrow, from
noon until two O'Clock, when Consul
and Mrs. Chang Tso Fan will receive.

SULLIVAN WINS
FROM MAYFIELD

AS the climax of a decidedly ordinary
card offered by the Occidental Club at
Dreamland Rink last night, Dick Sui
liven easily defeated Frank Mayfield,
gaining the decision in four rounds.
Sullivan, who claims the title of Ha-
waiian champion, had the class and
won as he pleased.
In fact, the last round looked very
much as If Sullivan was not lettinA
himself go very far. Mayfeld showed
a willingness to fight, but Sullivan's
plan of letting his opponent lead and
then catching him as he came in with
a left uppercut, was hard on the lesst
experienced boy. In the third round
Sullivan jabbed to good effect with his
left and had a margin all the way
through.-San Francisco Chronicle.

FREETH SW|MS
AGAINST KOPkE

Sporting interest Is conferred in the
coming swimming meet between the
Healanis and Myrtle Boat Clubs which
Will take place on the 18th and 23rd
days of this month at the Hotel Baths.
During this meet the fastest SWIM
mers in Hawaii will race. Both teams
are putting in hard ticks to get in
shape. The Myrtles are doing most
of their work at the boat house while
the Healanis are working at the Baths.
Freeth is coaching the Healanis and
Kopke the Myrtles. These two men
have local regulations as swimmers
and all will await with interest the
result of the 100 yard race which takes
place on the second night of the meet,
February 23rd. Cunha will also be
seen in this 100 yard contest.
The Water Polo match between the
Diamond Heads and Oahu College will
draw a great many spectators who
have read about, but not yet seen this
much talked of sport. This match will
be played on the first night and will be
the first match that has ever been
played in the islands. Water Polo is
a popular college sport, and is sure to
attract much local interest.
Many people are wondering what
TINT Monte Christie act is. This will
be the most startling number on the
program. Those who have read Monte
Christie viii remember how Edmond
Dantes escaped from prison by taking
the dead Abbe's place for burial. His
body was sewed up in a sack, the sack
weighted, and Edmond thrown over
the cliff into the sea. That is like what
the spectators will see in the Monte
Christie act at the water carnival.
A local lad will be securely tied in
a sack in which iron bars have been
placed. He will then be thrown in ten
feet of water and the rest is up to
him.

WHEN JAPANESE SHIPS
MAY Be EXPECTED

The visiting Japanese squadron is ex-
pected to arrive here some time be-
tween the 18th and 10th. Advices re-
ceived some time ago by Admiral Very,
indicated that the fleet would reach
Honolulu the latter date. However, as
the vessels have had the weather with
them since leaving Japan, they should
make better time than would ordinarily
be the case.
Last night, a display by an electric
al storm In the Eva direction caused a
report to be circulated that the squad
ron was approaching and signaling
with searchlights from several different

Railroad Smoke.

While there is ground for some gratiica-
ton In the reports submitted at the meet
Ing OF the smoke committee of railroad men
recently held here, much remains to be ac-
complished in the matter of abating the
railroad smoke nuisance. Until the present
movement for the elimination of the smoke
evil at the Washington terminal there was
not the slightest inclination on the part of
the locomotive firemen to lessen the volume
OF emissions and there was apparently no
interest whatever on the part of their SUI
periors in this connection. When the bill
for the extension of the anti-smoke law
was on the point of nnal passage last WIN
ter the railroads suddenly developed a new
spirit OF appreciation for the public well
fare and promised all manner of good be-
havior II they were only left unhampered
s'y law. This plea was granted on the
rather remarkable theory that the railroad
corporations would more surely abate the
nuisance If not required TO do so, and
since then there have been experiments
with coke and special Goals and statistics
are now offered to indicate that there have
been improvements. 1t Is to be hoped that
they genuine improvements not i'm
aginary and that they are permanent and
not merely temporary. This reform will
depend. of course, largely upon the kind
OF work that Is done in the locomotive
cabs as we'll upon tho kind of fuel sup
Piled. The abatement OF the nuisance will
call for iucessant vigilance on the part Of
the railroad officials in charge of opera
tons The citizens Of the District con-
$ der that the companies are on trial Pos
sihly the officials fully realize that fact as
well. II is to be hoped they do. for II the
present tests are not successful or the pres
ent good behavior is not continuous il will
become necessary for the community to de-
mand once more of Congress the enactment
or d peremptory law on the subject, wheth-
er the END Is the establishment of electric
traction or the adoption of hard coal.
washington insists Upon having its rail-
ROAD terminal as nearly smokeless as it is
possible to make II.

himself? He has not as yet been the sub
ject Of eulogy by any Wall street pub,ica-
ton, but he Is the equal Of any southern
man who has. Neither Mr. Daniel nor Mr..
Culberson Is more esteemed in the Senate
for ability. He Is as prominent and infiu-
entail in the debates as either. He Il as
well known to the country at large as Judge
Gray His intellectual grade Is higher than
that of Mr.. Carmack. who, at best, Is a
happy phrasemaker. Why. If the demo-
cratic party should go south for its leader.
is not the senior senator from Georgia the
very man?
Mr.. Bacon Is sixty-eight. and in health
He served in the Confederate army, and
after the war prepared for the bar and
entered politics. He was for many years
member of the Georgia legislature. He has
just entered upon his third term United
States senator. His personal address is
most agreeable and his personal character
OF the highest. He lives within the limits
OF a modest income. recent bank failure
which affected him revealed the fact that
his means are small.
Here. then. is a thoroughly representative
southern man. His war record. his politics.
his mode of rfe his character, have made
him leader among his people and an at
tractive figure here at the National capital.
The duties of the presidency are not be-
yond his powers, and should not be be-
yond his ambitions. Why. holding the views
that he does should he not offer for his
party's leadership and thus solve the ques-
tons he discusses?
If. upon reflection. Mr.. Bacon does not see
his way clear to do this he may better un-
derstand the restraint that other southern
leaders are imposing on themselves. Doubt
less they have appreciated the compliments
paid them. although their qualities already
stood confessed and admired at home and
elsewhere. Still they have hesitated. and now
hesitate to fall In with the suggestion Of
an aggressive effort to depose Mr. Bryan
from the post to which the south helped
elevate him and In which 1t has helped to
hold up his hands. Wall streets cloven
