When asked if he considered Sat
urday evenings melee as a prize
fight, Mr.. Breckons said that he
did not.
AS was natural the matter of
Breckons' arrest caused great deal
of comment around town when it
became known. Some wonder was
expressed at the fact that Richards
could swearito the allegations in the
warrant, which are that Breckons
was wilfully spectator at a certain
prize fight in public place, to-wit:
the Orpheum Theatre, " when, as
matter of fact, Richards was not
present, and as a consequence could
have no personal knowledge of that
fact. 1t was also suggested that as
Breckons is a. Federal official hav-
ing charge of prosecutions in such
matters, he might have gone to the
fight in the performance of his
duty.
There is considerable speculation
as to whether there will be any fur
ther arrests made, but when asked
about this Richards said this morn
ing that he did not intend at pre-
sent to call for any more arrests. In
the complaints Deputy L. S. Dis
trict Attorney w. 7. Rawlins and

Circus
Makes Hit
Animal Show was a Decid=
ed Success.

On last Friday evening the ladies
of the Union Church of Wailuku
made quite hit with an amateur
circus.
Those who are familiar with a
real live, circus said it was the next
best thing, and those who had never
been favored by being at a Coast
circus, were decidedly interested in
the whole performance.
The Armory was generously loan
ed for the occasion. The spacious
hall was decked out in circus style
and was admirably adapted for the
rs foot ring, while there was ample
room for the eight side shows, the
peanut and popcorn stands and the
lemonade counter.
A crowd of about $50 applauded
the grand entrance of the animals,
which marched around the ring
twice to music furnished by Schra-
der's orchestra. Then each animal
was separately called by Ring Mas
ter Davis. Wonderful intelligence
and marked ability were displayed
by all the strange birds and beasts.
The bear was particularly bearish,
and the dangerous ostrich, which
could only kick forwards, came near
putting the whole show into con-
fusion. The race between the giraffe
and the elephant, though naturally
slow, and the stunts at teetering by
the crane and frog, with clown
Howell to assist, greatly amused the
crowd. The hit of the evening was
probably the old tramp, who per-
sisted in making himself obnoxious,
and at last was obliged to mount
the zebra to show what he was good
for.
During the circus an old .beggar
woman meandered among the crowd
and the witch, so well disguised
that no one knew her, cast spells
over several persons unprepared for
her sorcery.
After a short concert by local
talent, the circus part was over, but
such din as then began on all
sides by the criers for the various
side shows. People were urged and
persuaded to see all kinds of novel
ties from the horse, which had his
head where his tail ought. to be to
Corbaley's Turkish Muscle Dancer,
a well rugged jumping jack perfor-
nance. The art exhibit of Mrs
McKay's was one of the cleverest
things of the evening, while the
Mexican Bat and the booth labelled
why is Goat gave everybody
a good laugh.
The animals in Dr.. Aiken's side
show and especially the monkey
that he brought with him and hi
trained dog fascinated the many
children who were present.

Blaze at
K. P. Hall
Building has Narrow Escape
from Destruction.

The Knights of Pythias building
of Wailuku had close call Sunday
night when a fire that had eaten
away the outer wall and partly
through the inner wall was discov-
cred Just in time to prevent the de-
struction of the building and prob
ably the Malulani Hospital and the
surrounding homes.
The fire was discovered at mid
night by Mrs. Young Tung who
heard the fire popping and called to
her husband. He got up and at
once tried to telephone an alarm
but failed to get central. He then
called to persons living near the
hall and a number of men were
soon at work with every means
available to put out the fire.
A large tank of water was within
a few feet of the fire and it greatly
assisted in putting out the fire.
The fire had started on the out
side of the building in a number OF
old boxes where considerable rub
bish had accumulated!
The boxes were against the wall
and as the fire burned through the
outer wall a quick fire would have
resulted but for the fact that the
studding had been stiffened with
bridge work between the timbers
and prevented the fire from running
up on the inside of the wall.
Within less than one foot from
the fire on the inside of the inner
wall was stored many barrels of
whiskey, and other liquors that
would have created an immense fire
if they had once been reached.
The building is two story wood
en- frame building and as the lower
story is used as a wholesale liquor
house there would have been fire
that could never have been put out
if it had once gotten a good start.
AS it was the walls were burned
to heighth af about fifteen feet and
one of the windows was burned out.
The building AND contents were
insured and it is understood that
the company will readily pay all
damage.
The Knights of Pythias building
is monument to the concerted
efforts of the members of Aloha
Lodge No. 8 as they put up the
building and have been paying of
the Indebtedness Of the same at a
good rate during the past few years
Had the fire gotten beyond con-
troll many other buildings would un'
doubtedly have been burned to the
ground and the loss would have
reached many thousands of dollars
How the fire started is a mystery
That it was the work of an incin.
diary can hardy be believed anc
yet it looks very much like it hui
there is no known reason why any
one should do such a dastardly act

THE WORK OF STRONG DRINK.
DirefuI Disasters Which Follow
In Its Wake.

Tonight 1t enters an humble home to
strike the roses from q women's cheek,
and tomorrow it challenges this repub-
lie 10 the halls Of Congress.
Today it strikes a crust from the lips
of q starving child, and tomorrow L.
vies tribute from the government itself.
There is no cottage humble enough to
escape it; no palace strong enough to
/ shut it out.
1t defes the law when it can not
coerce suffrage.
It is flexible to caiSle, but merciless
in victory.
1t is the mortal enemy OF peace and
order, the despoiler Of men and terror Of
women, the cloud that shadows the
faces of children, the demon that has
dug NOR graves and sent more souls
lnshriVed to judgement than all the
pestilences that have wasted life since
God sent the plaques to Egypt, and all
the walls since Joshua stood beyond
Jericho.
1t comes to ruin, and it shall profit
mainly by the ruin, OF your sons and
mine.
1t comss to mislead human souls and
to crush hnman hearts under its rumb-
ling wheels.
It comes to bring gray haired mothers
down in shame and sorrow to their
graves.
1t comes to change the wife's love
into despair and her pride into shame.
It comes to still the laughter on the
lips Of little children.
1t comes to stiAe all the music Of the
home and fill it with silence ana desc
lation.
1t comes to ruin your body and mind,
to wreck your home, and it knows it
must measure its prosperity by the
swiftness and certainty with which t.
wrecks the world.-Henry ". Grady.

Q. Are you in favor of water meters9
A. Yes.
Q Why?
A. Because they stop waste. They
offer an equitable and just and fair
method of paying for water. I then
pay for what I use, and the other fell
low pays for what he wastes.
Q. How long does a meter last?
A. A meter lasts many years, and
not one year only as some people say.
Q. Do you consider the minimum OF
so cents per month too high?
A. No, it is reaf onable.

ton. Are you in favor of water

A. Because they will not solve the

Because there are other end bett lr ways
OF spending this money. because it
places a burden upon the people. Be
cause the water supply should and may
be increased sufficiently to afford water
for all, and at a less expense than me-
ers involve.
Q, How may this be done?
A. BY turning additional streams In
to the reservoir. By installing an cleo
trio pump and pumping water from Fin
lay creek or from Laurel Park springs.
Q. But can these things be done?
A. Yes, and at an expense OF about
$4,000 for any one of the plans it is said.
There will then be an abundance of
water and meters will not be necessary.

Says the StatesYille Landmark:
"Statesville installed water meters with
in a year or two:after the water system
was established here because it was
absolutely necessary to do so, and the
plan has given general satisfaction.
The water consumer on a fat rate
doesn't care how much water he wastes.
If he has a meter he pays for the
waste, consequently he dosen't permit
the waste. If it wasn't for the meter
system S~tatesville's water supply would
be exhausted in q few months"

MT. J. P.

MT. Nose ley was struck by the brightness of the kid, and giving him some money, in- vited him out to dine today. Joe Fox, the lads name, sh owed up at the Grand hotel about noon and asked to be shown to MT. Moseley's room.

GROWING COTTON
 PROGRESSING WELL

Memphis, Tenn. August 2.-The Com mercial Appeal will say tomorrow as to crop conditions throughout the cotton growing states of the south:
 The state of Louisiana excepted, where heavy and continued rains last week put the crop somewhat in jeopardy, reports are remarkably uniform and favorable. It is the general opinion that cotton goes into the critical month of August in the best condition of the season. The plant is large for its age, well fruited and still thrifty and growing. With good condi- tions for another month a large yield Is assured.
 Along the Atlantic coast as well as in Louisiana rains were excessive, but the cotton territory affected does not seem to have been large In fact, a few drouth complaints come from South Carolina. In the Mississippi delta the rains ex- cited some alarm. These. however, are about the only complaints
 Moderate showers elsewhere were ben efcial Cotton Is opening rapidly now in southern and South Central Texas. Some picking is also being done In Southern Georgia Elsewhere open bolls appear but 1t is not anticipated that picking will be greatly in advance of the usual date. Texas reports are highly satis- factory and there are few complaints Of weevils. The Oklahoma crop is pros pering at the best rate of the season.

TWELVE MEN ARE
 BITTEN BY DOG

New York, August 2.-Hurrying to Washington, where they are to receive the Pasteur treatment as precaution against hydroph obia, a party of 12 men, members of the United States marine corps, and victims of the bite of rabid dog on the isthmus of Pana ma, arrived here today on the Panama liner Finance.
 The party comprised 10 privates of the marine corps in charge of ser- geant and Maj. G. H. Russell. All of them. had been bitten by the rabid ami mal The dog was a small collie, left by tourist. at Colon. It drifted into the marines encampment on July 21 and bit Major Russell and Il of the men before 1t was shot. An examina- tion revealed the fact that the dog was infected with rabies. The men were all well upon arrival and none had de- veloped any symptoms of rabies. They left immediately for Washington, where the treatment Is to be given them at the naval medical sch ool hospital.
