PAKE GAMBLERS ARE
BECOMING FEWER

Although February was one day
longer this year than it was last year,
the number of arrests by the county
police was eighty-one less and the num-
Der of convictions fell below last year S
record by ninety-six This was due al
most altogether to the big decrease in
the number of Chinese gamblers
brought in from raids on gambling
games. the month s figures showing that
there were less than half as many
caupht and convicted. a rather striking
proof of the way in which the pake
gambling joints have been put out OF
business. On the either hand the num-
Der of Hawaiians caught bucklng the
tiger. principally with the bones, shows
a considerable increase. while the total
of Hawaiians convicted OF ali
offenses is twenty-seven more than III
the same month of 1907.
Altogether the number of arrests last
month was $40, of which 2SS were con
victed, the total amount of the fines
extracted being S2266.05, slightly more
cash than the February convictions IN
1907 Welded The main charges were;
40; drunkenness. 13; assault
and battery, 50; larceny, IS, and ms
celianeous. Al.
The convicted, classified by national

Deep laden, her decks almost awash,
the American schooner o. NJ. Kellogg
arrived in port yesterday afternoon,
after splendid voyage of twenty days
from Eureka, California Captain c.
Iverson said he had had the finest
voyage he had ever experienced at
this time of the year. The weather
was good from port to port with light
winds and smooth seas.
The o. NJ. Kellogg brings 100000 feet
of lumber, and though this is a hum
dred thousand feet or more less than
her usual cargo, the lumber is all clear
boards and scantling and heavy. The
schooner is at the Bishop wharf where
she will discharge, though her whole
cargo of lumber is to go to Laupahoe-
hoe. The cargo is consigned TO Wilder
& CO.
The o. M. Kellogg was launched
December 81. 1892. at Eureka, and was
built under the direction of Captain
Iverson who as been her master ever
since. On her first voyage to this port
fifteen years ago she brought piles and
timbers for the old fishmarket wharf
at the Eva end of the harbor.

The American Hawaiian steamship
Texan was to have sailed yesterday
afternoon for Kahului. But yesterday
it was decided to put $50 tons more
sugar aboard her here than was in

anapali to take on 750 tons there, as
was the plan.
There Were eight gangs of stevedores
working sugar on the Texan yester-
day, a larger force than ever before
worked at loading sugar on single
vessel in the history of this harbor.
Each gang consists of sixteen men and
a foreman. making 1856 men at work
loading sugar at one time. On the
Mongolia and the Manehuria ten
gangs have worked at one time in this
port, but never before have SO many
men worked at one time on one vessel
loading sugar, as worked yesterday
on the Texan. The result of their work
was THAI about $500 tons of sugar was
put aboard. With six gangs, which is

a song recital at the studio Of Miss Clara
Drew. 80 Fourteenth street northwest
Miss Norton sang three groups Of we'll
known and for the most part exception

soprano that showed the results Of excel
lent training.
Miss Norton was assisted by David Kin
delberger. Washington's most. noted
youthful pianist whose rendition OF the
first movement OF Grieg's Sonata" in E
minor displayed his wonderful technique
and deep musical feeling to advantage
Miss Norton first sang Schubert's The
Wanderer" with feeling and effect. Then
followed q brilliant group. consisting OF
Should He Upbraid." by Sir Henry
Bishop; IF Thou Vert Blind by Noel
Johnson; winds in the Trees, by Cor
ing Thomas, and Since We Parted" by
AlIitsen. Mr.. Kindelberger followed with
the Grieg Sonata
The Lotus Flower" and He the Best
Of All" by Schumann: Thou Art Like
Unto a Flower, by Rubinstein; a
Fable" and The Elf and the Dormouse,"
by Clayton Johns. and Love, the Ped
lar" by German. constituted Miss Nor
tons second group. which she sang bril-
Hantly, especially the lighter numbers.
Mr. Kindelberger then delighted his
audience with a tenderly beautiful noe
turne Of Brassin's and a finely executed
difficult ballade by Reineeke. He was
forced 10 respond with an encore, select
ing Grieg's dainty Butterfly" which he
PLAYED delightfully."-
The recital ended with Bohm's Still
VIE Die Nacht' and Msssenet's "Ouvre
Tes Yeaux Bleus," sung by Miss Norton
with feeling and sweetness. Miss Ethel
