IT
A HULA?

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12.-Alice
Dane an Hawaiian woman who dances
the hula hula at the amusement place
of John Lewis at 6i6 Dupont street,
caused Judge Shortall to hide his eyes
in a flutter of modesty yesterday when
she partially disrobed on the witness
stand to display the costume she wears
when giving the dance which the Chief
of Police has stigmatized as being so
indecent that It should be stopped.
The view of the abbreviated cos
tune which the swarthy beauty Of the
south seas wore was enough evidence
for Judge shortall who said: Put on
your clothes, madam Guilty as
charged. Sentence tomorrow"
Assistant District Attorney Robert
d. Harrison represented the prosecu-
tlon in place of District Attorney Lang
don, who had said he would personally
appear in the case. The defendants
John Lewis and Alice Dane were
charged under section 81 of the Penal
Code, which prohibits the giving of an
indecent exhibition. Langdon became
interested in the case some time ago
when Lewis was arrested for vagrancy.
Langdon, before Judge Conlan, init
mated the police had tried to shake
down Lewis for money and failing had
arrested him for vagrancy when Lewis
held q license. The Chief of Police
at that time said that Lewis was ar
rested on his orders and with the in
tention of stopping what the Chief
considered an indecent performance.
Langdon Investigated the case and
resolved to prosecute Lewis under sec
ton 81 of the Penal Code. Lewis anC
| the Dane woman were arrested at diff
ferent times on various charges Pa
trolman Arthur II. DeGuire and De
tective Dedmond, King and Halse,
testified as to the bad character OF tn
performance and a David S. Supple,
real estate man. also testified to tn
same effect. All other charges on tn
calendar were dismissed against tn
woman, Lewis and several people con
nected with the show. Judge Shortal
said he had no desire to get reveng
on the woman, but intended to punisI
for the one offense. The Judge in
strutced the officers to arrest the de
PENDANTS at every subsequent per
lormance which might be gwen.

The Dam
is GOOD
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
WORKS SPEAKS WELL OF THE
NUUANU ENTERPRISE.

Superintendent Campbell of the Board
of Public Works is much gratified with
the manner in which work on the
Nuuanu dam has progressed during his
two weeks absence in Maui and with
the manner in which the flood waters
of the two recent storms have been
handled.
The storms have not injured, nor
delayed work on the dam In the least"
said Mr.. Campbell this morning, And
on the other hand the possibilities of
the reservoir have been demonstrated
in most splendid way by the rains.
During the ran of week ago yes
terday a volume Of water flowed over
the safety wier for about an hour of
1884 gallons per second, or for the
hour over S,SOO,OOO gallons. This was
besides what when through the two
discharge pipes which probably car
ried off as much more. The wier is
20 feet wide and for a time carried
over a stream nine inches deep of over
flow water have not heard from the
dam this morning but judge that an
equal volume Of water passed over
from last nights rain. / consider that
all this is most splendid demonstra-
tion of the value of the dam as a
water and power supply"

ser aboard the Inter-Island Company's
S. S. Mauna Kea at noon tomorrow,
having been appointed to the position
in the place of George Beckley, better
known as Admiral" BecKley, whose
withdrawal is contemporaneous with
the silver-seryice sensation.
Pete" Phillips took the pursership
of the Kinau while BeclSley was on
the Coast on vacation.
Phillips good fortune does not
come singly, for on Thursday next
there is to be wedding at which Mr..
Phillips and Mrs. Edwards are the

If the choice of a purser for the

PLACING The FLEET.
WHEN IT COMES.
ADMIRAL AND THE NAVY DEPARTMENT EXCHANGING CA
REGARDING THE LOCAL ACCOMMODATIONS -HARBoR
HAS ROOM FOX FIVE BIG BATTLEsHIPs TO COAL AT THE
wHARyEs TIME

Following the original inquiry from
Washington, Saturday last, as to ac-
commodations here for the battleships
OF the big fleet, many cable messages
are being exchanged between Secretary
of the Navy Metcalf and Admiral Very,
Commandant of the Naval Station
here, in regard to the numerous details
which have to be settled before the
final orders will be given as to how
the vessels of the fleet shall proceed
from the Coast to this port.
Saturdays inquiry was general, hav-
ing to do with the number Of vessels
which could be accommodated and
whether or not water at the wharves
would take battleships Of the heaviest
draft. This inquiry received a speedy
reply, and now correspondence by ca
BILE continues in regard to other points
which Admiral Very does not care to
recount, but all of which, he says, have
to do with the accommodation Of ships
of war in this harbor.
By the time the fleet, or the first
squadron of the fleet, gets here, If the
latest schedule for July holds good,

vantage will be taken Of the Fact by

who will be invited to visit the war

Sunday, May 1Oth-Everybody will
go to church; that is, if he wishes.
There will be nothing doing officially.
Monday, May 18th This will be
"childrens day" and the school au-
thorities will declare a general holi-
day Athletic exercises and drills will
be held at the stadium in Golden Gate
Park, and the children will be encour-
aged to go there. The trip to Mount
Tamalpais, to be given to the officers,
will probably take place on this day.
Tuesday, May 12th-About 400 Of
ficers will be taken on a sightseeing
trip to Stanford University, San Jose
and through the fruit orchards OF the
I Santa Clara valley. 1t is expected that
the enlisted men of the fleet will re-
taliate on their entertainers by giving
minstrel show in one of the large
halls, which will be engaged for the
purpose.

the United States Engineers VIII have
so far advanced work on harbor i'm
provement that there will be more
room than now for the berthing Of
warships in the stream. AS conditions
exist today, there Is room for two pos
slbly three Of the largest craft at the
Naval wharves and two can be placed,
one on either side of the Alakea street
wharf Thus five vessels are provided
for.
When the Big Four squadron was
here, however, the vessels left no ap-
parent room at the Naval and Alakea
street wharyes. That Honolulu, with
out interfering with commercial ship
ping, can easily accommodate a squad
ron Is assured Beyond this some nice
figuring is required. There would be
no particular advantage in anchorins
men-of-war in the stream, for they
would merely be waiting their turns at
the wharves to coal, unless emergency
provisions were made for lightering
coal to those in the stream. There
will be no difficulty in accommodating
smaller craft Of the aramada in this
harbor.

KUHIO TELLS OF
PEARL HARBOR WORK

Washington, d. c., March r., 1908,
EDITOR HAWAIIAN STAR:-A
systematic campaign is now being car
ried on to secure the consent of the
Speaker and the House leaders to have
the Pearl Harbor bill considered.
The prospects now seem favorable
FOR success in this respect, although
consideration is not likely to be had
until after the general Naval Bill mas
passed the House.
Preliminary work is also being done
to protect the measure in the Senate.
There has been some reason to fear
that the Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Naval Affairs Is not friendly
to the measure, but some of our sena-
torial friends will endeavor to off
set that
One of the big Five of the House
said to me today that he favored au-
thorizing the beginning at Pearl Har-
Dor, but felt that the appropriations
for immediate work would have to be
cut. He also expressed the sentiment
voiced by a number of members in the
House that It would be better to sub
stitute a steel floating dock for the
concrete do,k provided in the bill.

erations, that to recommend an ap-
preparation Of $3S,OOO,0OO for fortifica-

which might be very reasonably con-
strued by Japan as an Official declara-
tion that the United States was pre-
pairing against a war with that nation.

n. J. MAYORS LEAGUE.
Andre7o +. Mcbride, Chief Erecu-
tiUe of Paterson, Proposes Plan.

Paterson, Feb. 14-It is proposed to form
mayors league of New Jersey cities. In the or
ganization of which Mayor Andrew F. Mcbride
of this city will take the initiative Ihe
object is to have the cities of the state coop
crate in securing legislation that will be OF
benefit to them all.
The finance board realizes that a movement
is necessary to bring about the gradual advanc-
ing of the fiscal year until 1t comedies with the
time that the taxes due, so that the city
will not have to borrow about million dollars
each year in anticipation of the collection OF
taxes in order to carry the city from March ~
the time the fiscal year now Closes to Decem-
ber 90 when the citys taxes become due The
city counsel said that several other cities IN
the state were in position similar to that ot
Paterson and he thought their cooperation
could be obtained in any effort for legislation
that will bring them relief Mayor McBrlde
then suggested the formation of mayors
league which could confer on this matter and
others that affected the interests of the different
cities The suggestion approved by the
board and the Mayor is to take action Within
a few days The league will be similar to that
started by ex-Mayor Fagan of Jersey City and
ex-Mayor Lankering of Ioboken in 1904, but
which ceased to exist owing to a disagreement
over tax matters.
