suit in great good. The U. S. law is
such that simply the fact of any alien
woman being found in such a place is
sufficient to cause her deportation, pro-
vided it is within three years of her
entry into the United States. Quite a
number of these evil characters could
be sent out of the country. Within
the past two or three months, some OF
the most vicious characters have come
here for this business from California.
AS an open town, with laws unenforc-
ed against this great evil, more will
come. With this place closed, and the
law rigidly enforced throughout the
city, some of these men will depart
with their slaves. OF one such man

up, when our sailor boys come here in

grace and an insult to the American
Navy and to the American people. Do
they wish us to believe that these men,
the defenders of our country, are worse
than beasts, with no honor or integ-
rity? Such a statement is a lie! There
are some bad men on shore and on
shipboard. But that large part of
the men of our navy have sunk so low
as to defy the laws and act in the way
suggested cannot for moment be be-
lieved. With the cooperation Of the
officers of the fleet, and the police de-
partment, law and order and safety for
all, can be maintained in Honolulu,
even although these laws are most
vigorously enforced. A prominent
physician of this city, who has care
fully studied the subject, has spoken
of the fine showing of honor and order
maintained by the soldiers and sailors,
stopping in Honolulu, at the time OF

THE LILLIPUTIANS

Where all was so delightful we
would not discriminate as to the sing
ing. The entire abandon, the lack OF
all gaucherie ana erudeness was amaz-
ing and most charming to see. Per-
haps the dancing pleased us most OF
all, but the soldier scene was perfect

a few hints-might. Honolulu has
paid court to the children and all has
been earned and deserved by them.
They are beautiful children and well
behaved not only on the boards, but
off-everywhere, one happens to meet
them.
However, we think it fair and just
to all to say, that there is one boy we
would set in class by himself, and
one only of the crowd. TO our mind
that boy has genius for acting and,
does he continue, will rank with Soth-
ern, Jefferson or a Booth. All can
not have genius.

OPERATES WITH MINISTERIAL UNION

EDITOR STAR:-The ministers OF
Honolulu hold their regular monthly
meeting today. They are practically
united in desire for this present re-
form, and in their wish for the enforce
ment of law. This of course is natural,
has been said by friend of mine that
Honolulu does not want this agitation,
and will not stand for it. No doubt
many do not. But it has also very
wisely been said by this same friend,
that no great moral reform can be car
ried out on the quiet. Possibly we as
ministers talk too much. But we mean
well. Like our friend Mr.. Pinkham,
we are built that way, and perhaps
cannot help it.
But not only do we wish to talk, we
wish also to do, and to assist in every
way, for the protection and welfare OF
the people of Honolulu.
PROTECTIVE LEAGUE.
1t is claimed that, when 1wilei is
closed, the first to suffer will be the
poorer and unprotected Hawaiian fami-
lies. This may possibly be so, al
though we believe that if, as the Bish-
op of Honolulu has suggested, the laws
are faithfully enforced, not only in
Iwilei but in every other place, the
Hawaiians will have more protection
and there will be less vice. However
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-04-06

we do not propose TO take any chan
ces, and plan to form protective COM
mittee or league, of some of the best
Hawaiians and others, to keep on the
lookout for all cases of need. Wher-
ever there are any known families in
the city or outskirts, where there may
be persons unprotected or where the
father, because of his work, is kept
much away from home leaving his
family alone, law-abiding men in that
neighborhOod will be on the lookout.
Especially when there are many sail
ors in town, this committee will be
ready to render protection if needed.
The Hawaiians are now making their
plans for this kind of work. 1t has
also been said that the Teformers il
they close up this place will scatter
the trouble through the town. We be-
lieve not. Most unfortunately it is bad
through the town now. But we believe
that the moral impetus of closing up
this place, will have good effect on
the city. Mr.. Iaukea is reported to
have said: mot only will Iwilei be
closed, but we will enforce the law
wherever there is a violation through
out the city, whether it affects a pri-
vate house, hotel or a camp"
That is, if he decides TO yield to the
demand for closing. This would be a
noble stand, and we believe would re-

To the air of Hawaii POnoi, and the
cheers from a large and enthusiastic
crowd, the yacht Hawaiia that will
rpresent the Territory in the coming
ocean race in June, was successfully
launched on Saturday afternoon from
the yard of Sorenson & Lyle, the
builders.
Long before the hour set for the
launching the crowd began to arrive,
and at the time that Henry E. Coop
err, Governor and Mrs. Frear, Miss
Wilcox, Professor Grifiths of Oahu
College and Mrs. eBttis mounted the
launching platform, fully two thous-
and people were gathered in the yard
and in the vicinity, to watch the Ha-
wall launched.
A long ladder had been placed on
the starboard quarter of the Hawaii
to allow people to look at the yacht
before she took the water, but it was
removed about five forty-five, the only
people on board at the time of the
| launch being Charles Wilder, treasur-
ey of the committee, II. A. Wilder
| two sailors and three representatives
of the press.
About two minutes before six the
launching party mounted the plat
form, and Henry E. Cooper in a few
words introduced Miss Mary Kaui
| Wilcox to the spectators.
! A few seconds after six the words
"are you ready" were given to the
workman. and Miss Wilcox in a steay
voice said, Il christen thee Hawaii"
The bottle of Meet and Chandon
White Seal was swung toward the
starboard bow of the yacht, but it did
not break. The second attempt was
successful and the bottle broke in a
thousand pieces.
The yacht continued down the ways
for about ten feet but struck and re-
fused to go any further.
A line was made fast to the after
frame of the cradle and was led out
to the bits astern of the launch Hulk
ahead and as the strain began to tell
the rope parted, and once more the
crowd was obliged to wait.
A new line was bent on and the
order was given once more to sc
ahead on the launch. This time the
line held, and at six seventeen, just
as the sun sank in the western hori
zon, the Hawaii slid gracefully into
the waters of Honolulu harbor.

tions, if the matter is rightly handled.
Let Hawaii, by a practical example,
help to wipe away this dark blot of
shame, cast on our Navy and Flag,
that now floats on the waters of the
Pacific.
But as one of our best ministers OF
Honolulu has said: 1--WE want this
law enforced" and we will work to
that end. If Mr. Iaukea will enforce
the Territorial laws in the way he says
he may do, It will be to his lasting
credit. But II he finds the moral feel
ing of this community so low as not to
support the enforcement OF law, he
may not do so. Then the only way
will be to seek the aid of United
States law, as represented by the At
torney General at Washington. The
following letters, to be presented today
at the Ministerial Union, have been
sent to the President of the United
States and to the President of the Am
erican organization of the w. G. Il. u,
(sent with the endorsement of the
president of the w. G. T. U. of this
city, asking for their aid in the en-
forcement of the "Edmunds Act" in
the Territory of Hawaii. We hope,
however, that Mr.. Iaukea will do his
work so well, with the help and CO.
operation of the community that it
will not be necessary for Mr.. Breckons
to act in the matter. But we take the
stand of Ex-Governor Carter, 1.-The law
must be enforced, that is the only
thing to do"

The first game in the series for the
championship of the Atkinson league
and the Hustace cup was played yes
terday afternoon at Kakaako before a
large crowd, the Ocean Views having
little trouble in defeating the Guar
dams of the Law by the large score OF
2O-9.
The Pearl Handles played a very
poor game and deserved to be beaten,
as they have not been doing any prac-
tice of late, and no team can expect TO
win unless they get out and work
together.
The final game for the cup given By
an officer of Fort Shafter was played
after the above game, and was won by
the team representing Co. F, N. G. H.,
the regulars from Fort Shafter only
making 3 runs, while the Guardsmen
made 16.
