At noon yesterday Mr.. Drake, ac-

with the aid of the japanese watch
man, whom he had impressed by vir-

by a ladder giving access to an upper
window.
This entering was not for the pur-
pose of looking for the worm inside
the dwelling, but merely to commune
cate with Mrs. Along by telephone.
The good woman was much excited
on being called up from within her
own castle by an officer of the law.
She made no stint of her opinion of

SUNDAY BALL STOPPED
At THE PAUOA PARK

Owing to petition and oral remon-
hood, the Governor has directed that
baseball and other NOISY games must
not be played on Sunday at the Pauoa
Park
The ground is ptilized as public
park by the favor of the trustees OF
the Bishop Estate. to which the land
belongs, and strong pressure was
brought to bear on the trustees to
stop the noise on Sundays. They
would in all probability have taken
action on their own part if it had be-
come necessary to appease the resi-
dents of the section.

VALLEY PREMISES
Find Splendid Moonshne Still Underground
and Make Largest Haul of OkoIehao
on Record---A Jap Arrested

Right in the midst of one of the
grandest and newest of Honolulu's
suburban villa sections there was
unearthed yesterday the best equipped
illicit distillery ever discovered in this
Territory.
This was on the premises of Mrs.
Julia H. Afong's country residence at
Luakaha, on the Pail road, near the
Cooke, Jones. Lowrey and McCandless
villas.
Unearthed is word used advised
ly, for the plant was a subterranean
one, excavated with great labor be-
meath the Along stables.
Along with the finest still was cap
tured the largest amount of contra
band Hawaiian liquor-okolehao dis
titled from the ti-root-ever taken at
a single haul in these islands.
B. Koga, the japanese stable boy of
Mrs. Along, was the only prisoner
taken in the raid. More arrests are,
however, expected, and Mrs. Afong's
word stands good for the productions
of other of her servants, if required
and when demanded, as witnesses or
otherwise.

LONDON, August 25.--As the home
of anarchists England leads all other
countries. And yet there is never any
trouble here with these "enemies of
all mankind,' as President Roosevelt
has called them. The secret of this
peace and quietness, the absence of
bomb throwing, riotous Indictment and
red flag rampaging, lies with the meth
Cd in which the police of this country
handle the anarchists. In London to-
day there are two confidential agents
of the secret service from Washington,
who are engaged at Scotland Yard in
gathering all the facts and information
possible regarding the special branch
which deals exclusively with anarchists
and the almost allied movements of the
rabid revolutionaries, foreign and Eng
lish, who make London their headquar.
ters When they report back to Wash
ington in the next few weeks it is pos
sible that the United States will adopt
the English idea.
The secret of the British method is
publicity and free speech. 1t was only

that 1t was a pleasure and an honor
for the Commercial Club to be able to
entertain the two men who at Wash
ington had not only safeguarded the
commercial interests of the Territory,
but had materially advanced them. He
referred specifically to three of the
greatest accomplishments of the Dele
gate and Mr.. Mcclellan, accomplish
ments of more than local Importance.
These were the Hilo breakwater, the
enlargement of the Honolulu harbor
and the Pearl Harbor appropriations,
referring to the Delegate as "a strong
link between our interests and friend
ly administration at Washington.
Delegate Urges Interest.
The Delegate, who spoke at length
and made a forcible address, began by
stating that he appreciated the con-
sistent support that he had always re-
ceived from the commercial organiza
tions of Honolulu, without which he
would have been a nonentity at Wash
ingten, but with the help of which he
had been able to accomplish great
deal, the results speaking for them
selves I'm fact, Hawaii can not kick,
because she really got more than she
was entitled to, he stated.
Looking over the situation here, -
continued the Delegate, sit appears to
me that the business men of our com
munity are leary of taking part in our
own politics, for what reason | do not
know. 1t is all well enough FOR you
to sit back in your offices and COM
ment on what the politicians-as you
call them-are doing, but sitting in a
chair, taking no interest, and asking,
What difference does it make who is
in?' is not the way to help the admin
istration. The business men should
take some interest. I am working to
bring about good nominations in my
party; others are trying to bring about
good nominations in their party, but /
when we ask the business men to help
and say politics to them they throw up
their hands in horror. You will wake |

CUPID TALKS To
BUSINESS MEN
Urges Them to Do a Share in
Political Work of the
Community.

A plea for the business men of Ho-
nolulu to interest themselves in the
politics of the Territory and County
was made yesterday by Delegate Ka-
lanianaole, in the course of speech
made by him at the luncheon given in
honor of himself and of his secretary
by the members of the Commercial
Club. "You must put yourselves out
a little" said the speaker, "and not
throw up your hands in horror the min
ute politics is mentioned. You are in
terested as much as we are in getting
out good men to help the administra-
tion.
There were number of other good
addresses after the luncheon, James
Wakefield, president of the club, COM
plimenting the Delegate and Mr.. Me
Clellan on the good work they had
been able to do at Washington; George
w. Smith speaking in reference to the
work of Mr. Mcclellan, the clubs per-
sonal representative, particularly, and
Mr.. Mcclellan dealing with what had
been accomplished and referring hope
fully to what was to be done in the
coming session for Hawaii.
President Wakefield presided over
the luncheon, at the head table with
him being the two guests of honor,
Hon. F. B. Loomis, j. c. 'Laughlin,
A. L. c. Atkinson, E. c. Brown, E.
