CAMFIELD HOTEL USED
Affair in Honor OF Daughter OF Em-
pirc Builder

One of the most artistic ana de-
li,htful social affairs that has taken
place here in long time was the
..Moon Dance" given for Miss E!liZa-
beth Camfield at the Hotel Camfleld
Monday night. The big hotel was Il
thing of beauty, with yellow moon
this side of the ceiling, banks OF
Mains their dull green relieved with
dashes of yellow from the stalks OF
golden glow placed here and there
and the windows hung with naVaJos
and filled with pillows.
The affair was given by Mr. ana
Mrs. d. A. Camfield in honor of their
daughter who has been in Boston ior
year studying music.
There were 125 guests, 60 couples
an ideal number for the size of the
dining room. where the dancing took
place. The affair opened with a
grand march from the parlors on the
second floor, the dancers proceeding
down the broad staircase and into the
eyouisitely decorated rooms below.
Music was furnished by the Heuring
orchestra. At times the electrics
disappeared and only the soft glow
of the moon-the tangible one
lighted the way for the walters.
The moon" idea was carried out
even in the refreshments. the punch
being yellow with orange and lemon.
the ice cream chocolate bricks bear
ing a yellow moon, and the cakes
in crescent shape. The programs
we're half moons their leaves caught
with GOLD cord.
Miss Camfield returns soon TO
Roston where she is studying in the
Conservatory of Music and she could
hardly have devised more charming
means of entertaining her many
friends here before leaving.

To what work do the parties de-

To give a concrete example-an ex-

are doubtful. For example, such
states as Pennsylvania, Massachus-

being safely Republican, no money
will be put there, but the local com
mittees and local influences will be
depended upon to make their own
wars and furnish the sinews there
of. Likewise it will conclude that
such states as Texas, Mississippi
Virginia and Georgia are hopelessly
Democratic No money will be
wasted there by either party.

Mrs. Mason just escaped the holdup

Around the
Police Station

1t is said that Chief of Detectives
Kalakiela may be retained under the
Jarrett administration at the police
station as the head Of the detective
bureau. This bureau may be directed
by captain in future, instead Of by
chief, to have equal authority only
with the captain of the foot police.
During the absence of District Mag
istrate Andrade, a peculiar situation
has arisen with Second District Magis-
trate Long on the bench. Mr.. Long
is disqualified to act in liquor cases,
owing to his position as commissioner
on the Board of License Commission
ers. The point was raised yesterday
morning in the case of Okabe, charged
with selling liquor without license.
Attorney Peters, for the defendant, OBJ
jected to Judge Long sitting in the
case, to which the magistrate replied
that whether or not the point was
well taken, he had no desire to hear
liquor cases.
In another case, that of Ed Kahale,
charged with the larceny of watch,
an interesting point was raised by the
same attorney. Kahale was convicted
some time ago and sentenced to thirty
days Imprisonment for the larceny of
a revolver. In the present case, the
char roo ryac loro of IN ,,,otah Da4l
articles are alleged to have been taken
from the same place at the same time.
The attorney contended that there
could be but one offense charged,
while Mr.. Milverton, for the prosecu-
ton, contended with equal vigor that
each article stolen constituted a sepa-
rate offense. Judge Long cut the Cor
dian knot by requesting the attorneys
to submit authorities, and the case
was continued.
A bond of 800 was exacted from
one Aana, a Celestial, who started out
to revenge himself on some one in
Waipahu. Judge Long, after hearing
the evidence of several witnesses, de-
clared that Aana must put up bond
for good behavior. Aana, i: appears,
| is jealous of some of his relatives who
have acquired more worldly goods
| than he. Armed with couple of
butcher knives, he started in search
of his brother-in-law, Akai, last Fri
| day, swearing to carve him up. His
threats were heard by Mrs. David and
others, and were reported to the au-
thorities. He was brought to town by
Detective Lake.

DISCUSSED CAMP
PROHIBITION MEASURE

The special committee appointed at
the recent meeting of the Central I'm
provement Club to draft bill for sub
mission to the Legislature with the OBJ
ject of meeting the objections raised
concerning the building of tenement
camps in the residential districts, had
a meeting in the Attorney-General S
office on Tuesday night, at which the
particulars of the proposed measure
were talked over. At the conference
were c. w. Ashford, Judge Weaver,
Professor Gilmore, Deputy Attorney
General Whitney, T. F. Lansing and
superintendent Logan.
The bill as proposed is one to EN-
power the Board of Supervisors to legis-
late against the nuisance, in addition
to which was talked over a proposed
ordinance for the Supervisors to CON
slider when the necessary powers had
been conferred on them. 1t was decided
also to recommend to the Supervisors
the passage of an ordinance drafted by
A. G M. Robertson, which goes further
than the ordinance now being tested in
the courts, and forbids the occupancy
of the tenement houses already erected
within 500 feet of schoolhouse

STORIES FROM
THE TAX LIST

Treasurer Campbell has just had com.
piled some very complete and very use
full figures regarding tax amendments
and collections for the years 1906 and
1907. These have been bound in per.
manent form, and are convenient for
reference and comparison, and are i'm.
portant as indicating the energy with
which the work of collection is carried
on in the several divisions and dis.
tricts.
For the entire Territory there were
assessed in 1906 property and personal
taxes to the amount of 1855, $3.50. 03 /;
adding to this the penalties, interest
and costs accrued up to December 81,

collected up to that date 1854, O43.39,
leaving $7S,239.46 unpaid at the end
of the year. OF this $6,159.6O was un-
determined on appeal, leaving $72,-
