NOT A STAR
CHAMBER
MEMBER OF LICENSE COMMISSION
DENIES THE SOFT IMPEACH-
MENT AGAINST THAT BODY.

Some of the members of the Board
of Liquor Commissioners feel rather
agrieved at the attacks which have
been made on them in which it is al
legged that they have adopted star
chamber methods. In speaking OF
the matter this morning one OF them
said:
81 believe that a wrong idea has
been given out in this matter. we
are simply following the usual custom
Take our Supreme Court, for instance
They give an open hearing, and we
also do this, but when they wish to
discuss the case among themselves
after the evidence is all in, they ma
turally retire to their chamber. There
is nothing secret about the meetings
of the board, the matters which have
come up having all appeared in the
public press"

CRIMINAL CASES
BEFORE DOLE
THE LONG-DRAWN OUT KOKI
CASE is NOW APPROACHING
THE LAST STAGE.

In spite of the many criminal cases
in the Federal Court, which would
Keep Judge Dole busy for months,
without even giving the civil cases a
chance, preparations are being made
for the summer vacation, though it
will be a good deal shorter than usual
This morning the various attorneys
who have cases pending in the Federal
Court were on hand and a number of
the most important were carried over
till the August and October terms.
The petit jury in the criminal cases
was released from further duty this
morning till August 81, which means
that no more criminal work will be
taken up for two months and a hail
which will give Judge Dole chance to
work on the decisions in the big libeI
cases which have been submitted and
are now awaiting his release from the
criminal trials.
The Moses Kold case was in its las
phases today. U. S. District Attorney
r. w. Breckons started his argument

I will stake some time in which to lay
every point in the case before the
talesmen in the clearest possible man
ner, and as Attorney Kinney for the
defence will also have strong fight
to make, 1t seems hardly likely that
the case will go to the jury today.
The case of Jacob Rosenberg, charg-
ed with receiving property stolen from

.CHILDREN'S DANCE

The exhibition of fancy dancing by
the children Mrs. Gums classes at
the Moana will be well attended tomor-
row night, for not only is the enter
tainment in itself worth the price of ad-
mission but the dance to be given af-
ter ten O'clock for the benefit of the
audience, to which all are invited, will
prove an additional feature that is
very attractive.
The, affair has been carefully planned
and no pains have been spared to make
it the best of its kind that has been
given. The costumes of the little dam
GERS are tasteful and elaborate, and
carefully selected to suit the occasion
Tickets for the entertainment, which
are one dollar, are on sale at H. F

also be had at the door tomorrow

THE PUNAHOU
PARK PLAN

The prospects that the lot on the
corner of Wilder avenue and Punahou
street will be turned over to the city
to be used as a public park for the use
of band concerts are GOOD just at pres
ent, and as soon as the Governor gets
back the matter Will be decided one
way or the other. Marston Campbell,
Superintendent of Public Works, has
been very active recently in the mat
ter, having been in communication
with those for and against having the
place used for that purpose, and it is
understood that he is in favor of it.
| residents of the neighborhood, how
ever, are somewhat divided over the
question of having the park used tor
band concerts, as they are afraid that
the grass and the shrubbery VIII be
ruined by allowing people to run over
the ground. 1t is understood on good
authority that Governor Frear was
against the idea at first, but later de-
cided that 1t would be a very gooC
thing to have band concerts there a
least once a week Those who are anX
ious to have the park turned over arr
waiting patiently for the Governor
return on Monday, and some definit,
action can be looked for by the end o
next week.

Sheriff Iaukea appeared upon the
stump for the first time in the cam,
paign yesterday in his own interests as
an Independent candidate for reelection,
breaking into the fight from the "soap
box at the corner of King and Bethel
laukea S appearance was the signal for
the crowd to get in closer to the speak

to what he had to say, both in English
and Hawaiian.
1aukea took a stand that the police
DEPARTMENT should be kept out of pol
tiles and the laws enforced without u
possibility of offenders escaping through
political pulls. In all other respects he
stated his position as one of support
for the Democratic party and ticket and
asked the voters to place the Democrats
in power in order that they might prove
themselves.
While close attention was paid to
laukea S address there was little com

only interrupter was wild-looking Ha.

Republican and who later went on the
soap box himself, to the great delight
of the crowd, his speech and appearance
raising many roars of laughter.
Iaukea s speech in English was:

DAYS ON

months in patching up the stranded YES.

consuls in the Orient before being able
to finally start for home, passed through
Honolulu yesterday on the Manchuria
bound for San Francisco where they
will lay charges against various per
sons connected with the barkentine, and
more particularly the American con.
suls.
While in Honolulu yesterday they
were looked after by Jos. I. Liddy,
agent for the Sailor s Union, and by
him they are referred to Secretary
Fuerseth of the Sailors Union at San

While at Keeling some of the men
who were in Honolulu yesterday, re-
fused to 60 any further in the vessel,
as their time was about up. They had
an alteration with the master, Cap.
tain Hanson, about their going ashore.
The men refused to go to sea ami the
captain said they didn't have to if
they didn't want to. Magruder and
one or two others were taken ashore
in a boat. Later when there was 10th.
ing to do ashore the captain told them
they could come aboard again. On ar,
rival on the ship they were locked in
the forecastle without food and in irons.
There was no recourse for the men but
to go back to work again The reason
there was nothing to do ashore, or even
because, according to the men, the cap.
tain advised the cable manager there
not to help them, and this drove them
back to the ship.
The Governor of the island was
also about to send the men to Batavia
in yawl, but the following morning
the captain of the yawl said that
someone had taken the captain s razor
and another article during the night
and accused Magruder, who gives the
details as above outlined. The crew
, said this was put-up job on them,
and finally, as before stated, they were
D taken aboard in irons, the Governor
refusing to help them. Then the cap
tain logged the men for the time they
were ashore, as deserters, and docked
their pay $S4. In coming to a com
! promise later the men said the captain
agreed to return this $S4, and give
them their transportation home, if they
paid their own way meanwhile until
they could start home. The men claim
that the captain at one time stood tC
dock them $40.
They had experiences with various
consuls, some good, some bad The
/ Consul at Penang helped them out
while those at Singapore and Hong
kong did not, they claim. At one place
they had to ask for food while wait

President Denounced by the Methodist
Conference.

Just prior to the close of the an
nual session of the Mississippi con-
ference of the Methodist church at
Yazoo City resolution was adopt
ed in reference to President Roose-
velt's recent utterances on the rela-
tion of church and State. The res
olution denounces utterances Of the
president, insofar as they apply
to the prerogative Of a citizen in
refusing to vote for a candidate on
the ground of being unorthodox. "
The text of the resolution, as fur
nished by DIR. A. F. Watkins. secre-
tary of the conference, is in full as
follows:
Whereas, we recognize the fact
that this free government bestows
upon every man the right to con
slider all matters in the exercise of
his franchise; and,
Whereas, the glory of our ma
tion rests upon It's Christian civili-
zation, which we as Christian men
should regard as our most sacred
treasure; and,
Whereas, PRESIDENT Roosevelt
in recently published letter, uses
some gratuitous and unwarranted
structures against those citizens
who dared to inquire into the re-
ligious faith Of one of the candl-
dates for the presidency of the
United States; therefore,
"Be it resolved, that we, as
members of the Mississippi annual
conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South, do hereby de-
clare our disapproval of the utter,
ances of the president insofar as
they apply to the preogative of a
citizen in refusing to vote for a
candidate on the ground Of his be-
ing unorthodox.
Resolved, second, that we claim
the right to demand of those who
would be leaders in the offices of
our great nation an unqualified
belief in the doctrines of our holy
Christianity
