of Health, and while complying
with the regulations of the Board
were not molested; and it was be.
cause of this implied recognition
by the Board of Health or its Presi-
dent, that he, the District Attorney,
had been asked to apply the Ed
munds Act. His policy in the past
had been, however, to enforce the
Edmunds Act only in open and
f1agrant cases, and where graver
crimes could be reached by it; such
use, in fact, as the breaking up
of the "ren Dollar Club "
The following is a part of a COM
munication which will be sent to
large part of the American press:
Honolulu, I, H., April "a, 1908,
A great campaign, backed by the
weight OF every religious denomina-
ton, is heing waged in Hawaii
against a vi, that has been carried
on openly, and as a business, in
direct disregard of the laws of the
Territory.
The ministers of Honolulu met
together and decided unanimously
to ask for the enforcement of the
laws again. this vice. so as to make
the city cleaner in preparation for
the coming of the great American
fleet.
A committee of the Ministerial
Union of Honolulu secured the
hearty cooperation of the different
denominations, both Catholic and
Protestant alike. Other organiz-
ations, as the Civic Federation and
the w. G.. ", U.. have taken the
matter up, and are working 10

against immortality. The Presi-
dent and United States Attorney
General at Washington have been
appealed to for their influence to

MinStrelS a
Success
The Show greatly appreci=
ated by large audience.

The minstrel show, under the
auspices of Aloha Lodge Knights of
Pythias given last Saturday evening
was undoubtedly one of the most
successful shows of the kind ever
given in the territory and consider
ng the fact that all of the members
were amatures it was a great sur
prise to many that Maui was able
to put up such a successful affair as
they did.
More than a hundred more re-
served seats were sold than was an
ticipated and the house was fairly
packed during the performance. :
The stage had been enlarged and
side curtains and scenes painted by
Brother Frank for the occasion while
a handsome stage curtain had been
painted by J. A. Harris for the
occasion.
The costumes for the evening had
been bought at great expense in
Honolulu and San Francisco and
were by, far he swellest costumes
ever seen on Maui.
Doctor J. H. Raymond had full
charge of the performance and he
very wisely selected Mr.. c. d. Luf-
kin as stage director and Mr.. G.. B.
Schrader as musical director and
the wisdom of those choices was
proven by the excellence of the ex-
hibition.
Too much can not be said in
praise of the work of those in charge
nor of the members who took part
in the plays and the constant drill
ing under skilled directors made the
event most successful show.
To do justice to all would neces-
state a full account of the parts
taken by each member of the show
rs the part of each was a revelation
TO the audience.
The show proves what can be
done on Maui and all would be de-
lighted to witness more of these per-
in the furture.

Anguish, woe and misery settled
on some sections of the local Jap
anese colony when it was learned
that Federal order has been is
sued prohibiting the importation
of sake preserved in salicylic acid.
Even in its native state, un-
adorned with the frills and furbe-
lows of civilization, the national
beverage of Japan is declared by
experts to be hilarious producer
of happiness, and it is claimed that
it will make a man climb lamp
post and yowl at passing policemen
rather quicker than will the un-
adulterated reliever of rattlesnake
bites on Arizona's plains. When
to its potential qualities there is
added the softening influences of
salicylic acid the result is Texas.
Furthermore, it is violation of
the pure food laws, which the de.
partnent of agriculture will not
countenance, and the revenue de.
partment has been ordered to hold
all consignments of sake until
samples have been analysed by
Federal chemists.

Sake is
Now Tabu
Barred by Federal Order Be-
cause it is DOped.

There is woe throughout all the
length and breadth of the islands,
CONSERVATION wherever there are
japanese and the news is known
that the supply of sake from Japan
has been shut off by Federal order.
Prohibition, prohibitory prohibi-
ton, stares the joyous field hand
and the festive coclie squarely in
the face. The order went into
effect quite recently, and it has not
been felt in all its full force, but it
will be just as soon as the present
supply of the white rice juice gives
out.
1t is to preserve the good health
of the sake imbiber that the
Federal authorities have stepped
in and said, "Thou shalt not" be
cause it has been found that the
favorite tipple of the Nipponese
was doped. 1t contains the same
brand of poison that is used IN
New England to keep apple cider
from spelling, the insidious salicy-
lie acid, thus contravening the pro-
visions of the Pure Food law. This
is put into the sake by the Jap
anese manufacturer to keepit from
turning sour, but the japanese
manufacturer didn't know about
the Pure Food law, consequently
the sake he has been sending to
America has been met at the
threshold of the country and turn.
ed back. So far there has been
none denied admission at Honolu-
lu, but the Mongolia had large
shipment of tubs of the condemned
liquid aboard going back home,
and according to the order of
Washington, Honolulu will get no
more until it arrives here In the
pure and unadulterated state.
Inquiry among the japanese
yesterday led to the finding out
that all sake put up for export in
Japan is doped with the same
salicylic preservative. On that
account the authorities here may
seize the stocks on hand in the
various japanese wholesale stores
and saloons, and the stocks on
hand in the wholesale liquor stores
of the haoles, nearly all of whom
are big importers of the liquor. If
they do and the tests show that
the sake contains the drug, then a
great sobriety will settle down over
the land or the japanese will have
to forego patriotism for the time
being and take to square face.
The great question as to whether
sake is wine or beer will be lost
sight of then in the greater calami-
ty of it being called poison.
The Federal order respecting 1t
went into effect in San Francisco
some days ago, long enough to have
one shipment turned back. The
San Francisco Call, speaking of the
prohibition, says: |

To Local
Authorities
Attorney General BOnaparte
Writes to Rev. Thwing

| Honolulu, April 2S.--Attorney
General Bonaprate, in a letter t,
Rev. E. w. Thwing, in which h,
also encloses a copy of letter to
United States District Attorney
Breckons, expresses the belief thai
the local authorities should be left
to deal with such questions as were
raised by Iwilei. He is not disposed
to direct his department to inter.
fere in the matter through the
Edmunds Act
His letter to Rev. Mr.. Thwing
was in response to one written by
Mr.. Thwing on behalf of the Minis.
terial Association and other or.
CARNATIONS, urging the Attorney.
General of the United States to
direct the United States Attorney
for Hawaii to interfere in Iwilei by
means of the Edmunds Act.
The following is Attorney-Gen-
eral Bonaparte's letter to Mir.
Thwing:
Washington, April 10, 1908.
Rev. Edward w. Thwing, Homo
lulu. II. H.
My Dear Sir.-I am duly in sre-
ceipt of your letter of the 9th
ultimo, with enclosed statement, in
reference to conditions in that
portion of the city of Honolulu
known as Iwilei. While | regret
sincerely the condition of. affairs
you state to exist there, and desire
that the assistance and influence of
the Department of Justice should
be uniformly exercised in the direc-
tion of public morals, l am of the
opinion in this case that the De-
partment can take no further ac-
tion than is indicated by a letter
which has this day been addressed
to the United States Attorney for
the District of Hawaii, copy of
which is enclosed herewith.
Yours very truly,
CHARLES, J. BONAPARTE,
Acknowledgement.
The following is the copy of the
Attorney-General's letter to the
United States District Attorney:
Washington, April 10, 1908.
Robert W. Breckons, Esq, United
States Attorney, Honolulu, T. H.
Sir.-I am duly in receipt of
your letter of the 26th ultimo, re-
lative to the portion of the city of
Honolulu known as lwilei. The
Department is of the opinion that
the Edmunds Act, to which you re-
fer, ought not to be used in con-
nection with matter of purely
local concern. The subject men
toned seems to be wholly a local
consideration, and the Department
is inclined 10 coincide with the
view you indicate that it should be
dealt with by the local authorities.
At the same time, the Department
refraiIs from giving you positive
instructions in the premises, and
must depend upon you for appro-
pirate action, since it is evident
that it cannot be promptly and
accurately informed of any develop
ments which may arise.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES j. BONAPARTE, |
Attorney-General. |
Before writing to the Attorney
General, Mr.. Thwing had con-
ference with Mr.. Breckons, and the
latter showed him a copy of the
letter he had already written to the
Attorney-General on this subject.
In that letter, Mr.. Thwine says,
the United States Attorney said
that while, strictly speaking, the
denizens of Iwilei had not been un-
der police protection, they were
under the surveillance of the Board

court at Hammond. Complications of
this nature are liable to arise where
several courts are sitting at different
places in the same county. Again,
courts can be too convenient. Tt is an
accepted fact that there is too much
litigation. If a man has to travel a
considerable distance he will have time
to quietly think the matter over, con-
slider the costs of taking witnesses and
loss of time and other expenses. the
result will be a settlement out of
court. Even what is called the laws
delays is bene fetal Cases are not
reached for trial for a considerable
time, giving the parties a chance to
get together and settle their differ
ences.
Conditions Abnormal.
Conditions IN this county for the
last two years have been somewhat alb
normal The courthouse at Crown
Point has been torn up so that COM
paratively little business could be done
in the circuit court. This resulted in
much business that would have been
commenced in the circuit court being
brought in the superior court Again
the building of Gary has created much
tlBISdllOH over 1dnQ llllGS III ludI VI
cinity, and other matters which will
soon be closed up.
The panic has also caused much I'M
usual litigation.
When normal conditions are again
restored we will find that litigation
will greatly decrease.
Must Have More Courts.
However, it is certain that we viii
have to have more courts than we have
at present. Cases can be tried at the
county seat with much more convent
ence than elsewhere on account of al
of the county records being kept there
Therefore, what has been termed
