CIGAR SMUGGLER
IS UNDER ARREST

NJ. Keogh. the master-at-arms on
the transport Sherman, who was
caught trying to smuggle sixteen hun
dred cigars ashore on Tuesday night,
was placed under arrest yesterday.
Before the Sherman left port he was
discharged from the vessel and, ac
cording to a statement made by an
officer on board, will never again get
in the transport service.
In speaking of this the officer said:
ut is such fellows as Keogh who
cause us all great deal of trouble.
This ship has been in trouble in this
way three times, and when we reach
San Francisco we are treated differ
emily from any of the other vessels.
A double line of customs men is placed
around the ship and we are watched
like a lot of thieves. We want to
catch any man who tries to smuggle
stuff ashore. He simply brings us in
trouble and causes unpleasantness for
every man on the ship"

YEARS WORK OF
THE POLICE COURT

A statement of the work done5~tilir-
ing the past year in the District Court
has been submitted to Chief Justice
Hartwell by District Magistrate AM
drade, showing that the total cases
brought to trial before him and his
predecessor were 1859, of which number
272S We're convicted, an average. of
over. eight a day for every week day
of the period. Nearly one-half of the
convictions were for gambling, and
three-quarters of those convicted were
Chinese, thus giving that race a lead
ing place in the nationalities figuring
in the returns. The total figures in
convictions for gambling are 1859, in
Guiding 709 Chinese. In drunkenness,
the second biggest total in the lists,
the Hawaiians figured largely, being
down for 37S of the total Of $50.
Dividing among the different races
the convictions We're divided as fol-
Lows.

CHINAMAN SEEKS
REFUGE FROM SELF

The Chinese proprietor of the restau-
rant recently opened up in Fred Kiley's
old saloon has twice asked that he be
placed in confinement in cell at the
police station, fearing that if left at
liberty he might carry out the suicidal
ideas that the wheels in his head are
evolving. He first appeared on Tues
day night and was accommodated with
a place to himself in the lookup. Last
night he reappeared and was again
locked up for the night. He states that
he is worrying over financial troubles,
but inquiries bring out the fact that
his restaurant business is in the very
best of shape.

HARBOR LIGHTS
ARE CHANGED
Front and Rear Range Lights
Are Moved to New
Positions.

The captains of vessels coming into
this harbor tonight will find changes
which they have already been warned
of, in the moving of the harbor range
light The old lights were moved yes
terday. and last night for the first
time, they shone out from their new
positions. The present lights of course
are only temporary but have been
made necessary by the work of harbor
Improvement which has just been
started.
The old lighthouse, known as the
front range light, will be torn down
in the near future. as the entire point
on which it now stands will be cut
away under the contract operated by
the Hawaiian Dredging Company For
this reason a new position has been
selected and the light has been placed
temporarily on a structure near the
water tower which has been erected
several hundred feet further out. The
rear range light, which has been on the,
Custom House and which is one of the
relics of the monarchy, has been taken
down from that position and placed
on top OF the shed of the Oceanic
wharf.
This work was started early yester-
day morning with two gangs of men
and hurried along with all possible dis
patch and both lights were in position
and shining at an early hour. last
night. 1t required fast work for this,
as the old fashioned structures are
cumbersome and had to be taken to
pieces and put together again.

Ell ano econ6mico que termi-
no ell 80 de JUNO ultimo fu6 pro.
bablemente el mas pr6spero en-
la historic de Puerto Rico. HUI
bo gran expansion en- todas las
industries, y el valor de rues-
tras exportaciones eimportacio'
mes excedio del de cualquier
otro aflo anterior. A pesar de
la perdida sufrida por los agri-
cultores en- algunas zonas de la
lsla, motivada por la sequia ex-
traordinaria que ha prevaleci-
do, la prosperidad material del
pals en- su totalidad ha sldo
muy sorprendente. Respondent
do a esta condicion prospera
las rentas del gobierno demos
traron igual aumento, Y los in
gresos llegaron a una cifra muy
superior a la alCanZada en- Cual
quier otro ano de la historic de
la Isla.
Ell primer semestre del CO.
rriente ano econ0mico acusa,
sin embargo, una interruption
en- este aumento. La continual
ci6n del tempo seco en- Ia parte
Sud ha causado grandes danos a
importantes intereses agr1colas
en- aquella region, y, natural
mente, la general perturbation
del mundO comercial sc esta ha-
\ ciendo sentir hasta cierto punto
en- la Isla. Debemos felicitar-
nos por haber escapado de la Sc

que ha afectado a los Estados
Unidos durante los ultimos me

estado de Cosas tan serio en-
nuestro mercado metropolitano
no afecte, de algun modo, a
nuestros negociOs locales, Y Ia
consecuencia l0gica tiene que
ser clerta restriction en- las en-
presas mercantiles. Afortuna-

hombres de tan atlas condicio-
nes y meritos sirvan a su pals
en- estos cargos, con sueldo to-
talmente inadecuado.
Fue evidentemente la inten-
cion de la Legislature en- su Ill
TINA session, aumentar los suel-
dos de los jueces y fscales de
las Cortes de Distrito, puesto
que Sc asign0 una pequena can
tidad en- la Ley de presupuesto
para Ell corriente ano economi-
CO, con el fin de aumentar los
sueldos de los jueces y fscales
que Sc nombrasen despues de
estar en- vigor dicha Ley. Este
tue TN buen paso, pero que en-
ninguna forma responde a las
necesidades del servicio. En-
la practica viene agravar la ST
tuaclon, puesto que en- laactua-
l1dad tenemOs a dos de estos
tunclonarlos recfbiendo sueldo
mas alto que sus colegas que

metodo por el Cual los sueldos
de todos los jueces y fscales de
las COrtes de DistritOs puedan
aumentar en- cantidad sufcien-
te, que les recompense debida-
mente las obligaciones y res
ponsabilidades de sus cargos.
Relacionado con este, reco-
miendo tambien que el sueldo
de los Ayudantes del Attorney
General Sc tlje en- igual cantidad
que ell de los hscales, especial
mente el del Ayudante del AT

CORTES MUNICIPALES
Por regla general, ell trabajo

este aumentara algo Ell presu-
puesto, como tambien es cierto
que algunas de elias no produ-
clr1an ingresos suhcientes que

Los jueces de las Cortes Mu-
nicipales sc eligen en- la actua-

OtrO detecto en- la practica en-

que, en- causas criminales, el

tualmente es el que prepare el

tambien SC We obligado a resol-
verlo en- su caracter de juez
Aunque en- los distritos peque-
nos este no es una carga tan
pesada, en- algunos de los dis
trltos mayores Sc hace material
mente impossible que el juez
