BIG STILL
CAPTURED
COLLECTOR DRAKE AND HIS DEP
UTIES MAKE A RAID TO CONSID-
ERABLE PURPOSE.

Collector of Internal Revenue Walter
f. Drake and his entire force of dep
uties, L. l.. Harding, Ralph S. John
stone and Walter Doyle, went out on
the warpath last night and captured
big game. One of the most complete
distilling outfits ever found in these
islands was captured at the head OF
Manoa Valley, near the Boyd place,
with $50 gallons of mash, which was
just fermenting nicely, and all the 9TH
er apparatus which would be needed
for making a fine brand of okolehao.
The peculiar feature of the case is that
this is the second time within about
a year that the old Japanese running
the establishment has been arrested
for the same offence. The first time
he was caught the circumstances were
such that he was allowed to go free
but this will hardly be done a second
time. The reason for the clemency
was that the Japanese is a cripple,
having both hands cut off just above
his wrists. At the time this first ar
rest was made he was allowed to go,
latter the still had been destroyed,
but warned not to start the Illicit
business again. Nevertheless he went
right back and began operations once
more on a still larger scale.
Two other Japanese, evidently the
middlemen, who dispose of the Illicit
liquor, were captured. They appear
to be prosperous and quite well-to-do,
and to have been making a good thing
out of the business.
The liquor was being made from a
combination of corn and rice, and is
high grade intoXicant. Sugar, hops,
corn and rice were found in good-sized
quantities and several cords of wood
were split and ready for use. The
mash was in big tank, carefully COW
cred up with wood, pots and kettles
and the like, so that it would not be
noticeable. This was all destroyed,
with the exception of such samples as
were needed for evidence.

NEWELL MAKES
SPEECH ON MAUI

Commissioner of Irrigation Newell,
Governor Frear and Marston Camp
bell arrived on Maui Saturday and
have been busy investigation water
and land conditions on Maui with the
hope that the reclamation service may
be extended to the territory.
In their trips through the island
they have been shown every courtesy
and assistance possible by Hon. H. r.
Baldwin, F. f. Baldwin, H. A. Bald
win and others.
The party arrived in Wailuku
Thursday and took a trip up lao valley
and then met a number of people at
the Court house.
Mr.. Newell addressed the audience.
He impressed the audience as being an
intelligent forceful speaker of the
practical class.
He said that more homes must be
had in the territory While the sugar
plantations are the foundation of the
islands We must supplement them with
small farms. There are too many peo-
pie here who have no interest in the
welfare of the state and too few who
have. Who ever heard of man TAX
ing up his gun to fight for his board
ing house. The man who owns his
own home will lay down his life for
his country.
Roosevelt wishes to save the for
ests for the people.
The keynote of his work is to con-
serve the natual resources for the ben
eft of the many.
Congress will never do any thing
unless you go after it with a definite
plan.
Take only those things to Congress
that individuals can not do and that
which is of general interest to the
people. u

MADAME PELE

Chairman David Kalauokalani made
the following opening remarks at the
Home Rule convention at Kailua:
Delegates, allow me to introduce
myself, as Mr.. Charles Motley, who
is to be our candidate for Delegate
to Congress, is kept in Honolulu at the
Federal Court. l am here, therefore,
to do his work for him. Let us all
transact our business faithfully and
work together in harmony. There was
an earthquake on Sunday that shook
the County of Hawaii and have no
doubt that 1t was the work of Ma
dame Pele, and probably that is a
good sign, Consider your Supervisors

HILO HAS TREMQRS

Slight shocks of earthquake have
been noted nearly every day within
the past week, three on Friday, two
on Saturday, one early on Monday
morning and one at o'clock on Tues
day morning. That of Saturday, at
S:O4 p. m, was short but particularly
sharp. The original shake of Sunday,
Sept. 20, appears to have been more
severe in Puma than elsewhere, the
Herald receiving reports of fallen walls
and large earth crack. At SIG yes
terday morning there was a short but
very sharp quake that caused tremors
among the nervous and some unusually
early rising. 1t also extended the
cracks in the plaster-at the Hilo Bank.

Cumberland, Md, Feb. "a movement
is on here to have Sylvan Retreat, the
county institution for the insane retained
as an insane hospital.
There is a general statute, effective IN
1909. which ab0lishes county insane asy-
lums, and provides for the State care Of
insane in State institutions. Delegate
Frank Lee Carl has undertaken 70 have
Sylvan Retreat made western branch
Of the State institutions.
j. o. Stutsman. of Baltimore. general
secretary of the Prisoners Aid Associa-
ton, upon his last visit to Sylvan Re
treat was struck by the adapta5ility Of
the institution for its present purposes
and with State aid it could be improved.
The asylum is built of brick and is
capaCious. Ii has about 100 inmates
Under the present law these patients
would have to be removed about zoo miles
II is asserted that the State could main
tain Sylvan Retreat as a western branch
cheaper than 20 remove the insane to
institutions which would be overcrOwded
Aside from this. the western section of
the State is important enough 20 require
a branch to accommodate the number of
insane in its large population.

Milwaukee. Wis, Feb. 9-Twenty-thr
life insurance companies. holding policies
Of more than Sso000.0d0. in Wisconsin. have
left the state on account OF the new in
suranee laws passed by the legislature
Of 1897.
These laws. which were the result OF
six months investigation of life insur-
snce by a legislative committee, are SO
complicated and confused, and drastic
witnaI that the companies. after months
spent in trying TO get such an inJerpreta-
ton as would warrant them in trying TO
work under them. decided to Withdraw.
Therefore, at midnight on December q.
the following companies retired from the
State.

Dozens Of Office buildings here and in
other parts OF the State are left vacant,
and hundreds of men are thrown out of
employment II is estimated that 700 per
sons actively interested in the work Of
life insurance are affected by the exodus.
while between / 500 and 200 are indirectly
affected. most of these being of that class
which put in part Of their time in solicit
ing and were engaged I'm other employ
ments most of the time.
The number of policy holders who Will
be put To the Inconvenience Of sending
their premiums out Of the State to other
headquarters is estimated at more than
80 0O00
The causes given for the withdrawal are
almost as numerous as the companies
Withdrawing Some went on account Of
the actuarial bills. two in number. 10
which they could not conform. some OBJ
jected 10 the provision calling for a di-
vision Of the surplus. others because
they could not conform TO provisions Of
Otner kinds.
The one great stumbling block with all
the companies is the penalty provision.
This provides that in case OF a violation
of the law the company is liable 10 fine
Of 5000, while the agents are liable to a
fine of $.00 and Imprisonment in the
county Jail for one year, or both.

morning welcomed a score or more of
relatives and friends who came to at
tend his funeral. When Schmuck saw
them coming he thought il was a sur
prise party for him, but when the
astonished mourners saw the supposed
corpse explanations were in order all
around.
The mistake came about in this way:
Mr. Schmuck's brother Benjamin died in
Wrightsville, and instead Of using the
regular funeral notice the message was
sent personally. with the result that the
names were confused, and relatives went
20 Cross Roads to attend the funeral of
a live man while the dead man was being
buried at Wrightsville. After the con
fusion had been Strengthened out the
mourners started for Wrightsyille, only
to find that they were too late, the fu-
