tilt. Foster came down on his wave,
with the speed of an express train,
headed straight across the bow of the
| 'Midge." No power on earth could
have stopped the board then, and. fair
and square, the sharp prov of the
launch struck it amidsfip and Foster
went flying in the air, his board being
carried on for a hundred yards before
the launch, one of the occupants
climbing out on the bow TO disentangle
il. and neither occupant troubling TO
turn about TO see if the whfrring pro-
peIler had injured the surfboarder or
any of the swimmers.
Foster states that he did not see the
launch until it was within ten feet Of
him. as the crest Of a wave was be-
tween him and the little white craft,
that itself looked like the froth of a
wave. Just as the shock came ne
threw himself forward, or would have
been struck by the bow of the launch.
1t is needless to say that Foster and
the other bathers at Waikiki are firm
in the belief that they should have
the right of way over motor craft
within the limits Of the bathing
grounds adjacent to the beach. The
fact that Fosters board was carried
a hundred yards on the bow of the
motor launch indicates how narrow
was his escape from injuries that
might have proved fatal.

DEATH Of WELL-kNOWN
HAWAIIAN LADY

Mrs Kaehuwahanui Kuihelani, wi
dow of the late Hon. H. Kuihelani,
who was a noble under the Kalakaua
regime, died at her home in Kakaako
yesterday forenoon. The deceased lady
was one of the most prominent and
highly regarded among Hawaii's aged
women, and her demise will be mourn
ed by a very wide circle of friends
and acquaintances on the different is
lands, especially on Oahu and on Maui,
where for many years she and her late
husband had their home. Mrs. Kui-
helani had been for some months past
the victim of partial paralysis, which
rendered her entirely speeches., but
she bore her sufferings with cheerful
ness, patience and fortitude, until
death came to her release.
Mrs. Kuihelani was for many years
one of the leading members of Ka-
waiahao church, and her funeral, which
will be held under the auspices of the
Kaahumanu society of which she was
also a member, will take place at 4
o'clock this afternoon, from Williams
undertaking parlors.

POLICE RAID
GAMBLING DEN
Seven Captures in a Place
Built to Resist
Attack.

Chief Taylor and his men, between s
and 9 o'clock last night, successfully
raided the best fortified Chinese gam
bling joint that has ever come to the
notice of the police of this city.
Seven ehdgrined Celestials were
wagoned to the station and put below
pending bail, and along with the living
evidence was taken the heavy trap
door and door used halfway in a mar
velously narrow passage and designed
to resist the attack of anything from a
policeman s knock to battering ram.
Also coin was secured, and paikau
paraphernalia.
The place, situated in the second
story of two-decker frame building
hack from the road on Liliha street,
Eva side, little above King, has also
the distinction of being a creamery for
hop-artists, dope fends, pipe-hitters, or
opium-smokers.
Not to hide the dope den from the
eyes of any inquirer, official or other
wise, was this fortress designed, for
the law does not hinder man, or
woman for that matter, from seeking
solace in the poppy pellet; therefore, IS
it fair to presume that iron bars and
heavy bolts, trapdoors and pulleys,
peep-holes and watch windows, sheet
,ironed portals and screened ventilators
were designed to hide gambling.
Chief Taylor and Officers Reeves, Ali,
Townsend and Medeiros approached the
fortress soon after O'Clock. The
streaky flare of a candle broke through
an augur hole over the front door, and
above, at a small window, kodak size,
the curious face of a Chinese peered
forth Front attack was not advisable,
and from the rear climb to the roof

DIDN'T KNOW WHICH
GRANDFATHER IT WAS

An amusing incident of the reception
to Secretary Garfield last week at the
Young Hotel is going the rounds and,
told by an eyewitness, it is as follows:
The Secretary was receiving the atten-
tions of the multitudes. each individual
of the crowd apparently having been
intimately acquainted with either the
father or mother of the guest of honor.
This lasted for quite awhile and was
remarked upon by one who had over
heard the words of some of those who
had shaken hands with Mr.. Garfield.
One townie who wanted to be differ
ent from the rest of his fellows in
shaking hands with the distinguished
visitor said. II knew your grand
father" (which one?" enquired the
Secretary. quick as a flash, and then
the usher slipped in and led the slut
tering and noplused citizen out into
he air.

MINISTER'S
WORDS Of ADVICE

Speaking to the representative of the
Hawaii shinpo, Minister Arakawa,
who passed through here on the Tenyo
Maru, said that he found the condition
of the japanese laborers very salts
factory, the men, in his opinion, being
well cared for. He stated that the
conditions here, as compared with
those in Mexico, where he is now go
ing, are far more favorable to the
Japanese. and he advised his country
men. through the papers. to be peace
full and industrious and to remain
where they are.
His advice to the Japanese press was
to use the utmost care in avoiding any
thing that may lead TO misunderstand-
ing between them and the American
people. He said particularly that there
is no anti-Japanese feeling on the
mainland, it being only an economical
question that is being agitated The
agitation is against cheap labor and
does not involve any national issue
It VI Il very EbDu example ne SdId. all
japanese except the Iaboring class are
welcomed in any part of the United
States, and are treated with the same
courtesy as all other foreigners. He
said that there is no national issue be-
tween Japan and America, and the
sensational news that appear in news
papers are fabrications He asked the
japanese papers not to regard any
such economic agitations as appeared
in the Western states. as anti-Japa-
nese movements. these being more
anti-cheap labor questions.
AS TO the situation Of the Japanese
labor in Hawaii, he entertained rather
optimistic views, relying on the theory
of the survival Of the fittest. He said
in part that the japanese have sup
piled labor for the sugar industry,
which is the mainstay OF the islands,
and that he does not believe that as
long as his countrymen continue TO
contribute their labor in a peaceful and
industrious manner toward the fur
therance of the interests of the Islands,

Japanese Going to Establish a
Sake Plant in That
Locality.

A sake distillery is to be started very
soon in Punahou, Japanese hui being
ready to engage in the manufacture
of the japanese national beverage. The
distillery will be operated at first ex-
perimetally, as the distilling of sake
has never proved very successful ex-
cept in certain localities in Japan and
it is not known as yet whether this
locality will be favorable.
The machinery as well as the mate
rials to be worked up in the distflling
have been ordered some months ago
and are expected here very shortly
from Japan.
The promoters of the sake plant are

David Russell preached morning and
evening at Central Union church yes
terday, and made an excellent impress
sion. The morning congregation was
about as usual, but the evening gath
ering was much above the average, a
large number of young men being
present. The morning address was a
character study, comparing Abraham
and Lot, the former a type of the good
man, the latter merely righteous" !"
Mr.. Russell showed a deep knowledge
of human nature, and an appreciation
of the weaknesses of men without a
scolding attitude toward them. Though
direct in his condemnation of evil, his
way is not antagonistic to people. And
here lies the secret of his success as
an evangelist. He wins his audience.
Many went to hear him to find out
what he is like. They know, and will
go TO hear him again.

got away again without getting mixed
Nup with debatable questions. The Inn

that he has made good" and will
draw large audiences while here.

IMPORTANT POINT
BEING CONSIDERED

The question of the jurisdiction of
the Territory in any suppression of the
social evil was argued on Saturday
morning before Judge Robinson, on the
demurrer filed in the case of
the Territory against Blancne Martin
by her attorney, Judge Humphreys.
The basis of his argument was that
the right to prosecute for the offense
for which the woman was indicted
was retained solely by the United
States, while if the Territory had any
right there was no Territorial statute
making that particular offense a crime.
Judge Robinson has taken the mat
ter under advisement and the result
of his decision will be important.
