NEW YORK, June 12.-Mrs. John D.
Spreckels, who has been abroad. ar
rived here today on the Hamburg
American liner Amerika and was met
by her husband at the pier. They in
tend to leave soon for San Francisco.
She laughed when talking with the re-
porters about the engagement of her
son, Claus, to Miss Mary Adele Case,
which was quickly broken off after
young Spreckels met his father in New
York. All she knew of the matter, she
said, was what her husband had told
her in wireless messages while she
was on the ocean.
g 1t is very silly" she said. E'Claus
is too young to know his own mind.
He is only in the puppy love stage yet,
Boys of his age frequently fall in love
with women who are much older. Miss
Case is too old for him. [ met her in
Paris at a concert she gave and ad-
mired her singing very much. Claus
at that time showed only admiration
for her as an artist.

UNION GRILL
LICE NSE
NOW
WooIIey Wants Sunday
Privileges Not to
Be Given.

\ John G.. Woolley, of the Anti-Saloon
League, lead an onslaught upon Sunday
privileges yesterday, at the meeting of
the License Commissioners, basing an
attack upon the renewal of the Sunday
license of the Union Grill on the broad
grounds that he wants no liquor sold in
Honolulu on the first day of the week
in any place. He stated that he had
no objection to urge against the Grill IS
method of obeying the law or against
the way in which the place was con.
Quoted. All he knew was that drinks
were served there on Sunday and he
wanted everything in that line to
cease.
This question of the Sunday privil
ege was before the Board of Liquor
License Commissioners at its session
yesterday and while no definite actor
was taken it was considered at length
both at the open session in the after
noon and the executive session, which
lasted until 10 clock last night.
AS result of the meeting the fol
lowing renewals were granted by the
Board:

be galore. Three hundred and ffty
dollars OF the sum at hand were appro-
priated at the meeting for this pur-
pose. These fireworks have already
been cabled for, and will arrive here
on the Alameda on July ,.
Twenty-Five dollars were set aside for
the parade, while SIS was the sum ap-
propriated to provide refreshments for
the soldiers who take part in the pa
rade. There was considerable of de-
bate as to what the refreshments
should consist of when the committee
having the 1908 celebration in hand
was IN session. Some of the members
contended that nice fruit punch would
be just the thing with which to cool
the parched threats of the soldiers after
marching, but compromise was finally
struck and beer was served. Whether
or not this will be the beverage this
year has not definitely been decided
as yet
The literary program was decided on
yesterday. The Declaration of indie
pendence will be read, short address,
the speaker of which is to be chosen
by the chairman of yesterdays meet
ing, will be had, and there will be the
usual patriotic music, intermfngled
with the screams of the eagle. The
national salute WILL of course, be fired.
No details regarding the parade have
as yet been arranged, but it will be
purely military showing. The meet
ing adjourned to the call of the chair

ELKs' DELEGATE To
SAIL ON AORANG|

AS delegate to the Elks' Convention
to be held in Southern California. Har-
ry Murray will leave on the Aorangi
for Los Angeles, via British Columbia.
Owing to the fact that the Matson
steamer Lurline, on which Delegate
Murray and several others of the local
Herd had expected to travel, viii not
sail until July 2, they were forced to
make change in plans. It was at
first thought that the Lurline would
sail from here on the 10Th or 30th. and
the boys had planned to leave on this
boat, the social hall of the steamer to
be turned into one great stateroom for
the party.
However, this arrangement did not
pan out, and, in order to be on the
mainland in time, Harry Murray finds
that he must leave on the Aorangi,
making the long trip up North in order
to go down South On the later boats
that sail from here direct to San Fran
cisco, delegation of five or six of the
members of the local lodge will leave
for Los Angeles. About $500 MALE
lima leis will be shipped to the South
ern California city to be used at the
Convention, Hawaii thus having the
usual unique representation in floral

WHEN WOODRUFF
WAS IN DOUBT
Mcclellan Explained to Taft
That Hawaii Did Not
Oppose Him.

TAIL Special to the Advertiser. J

WASHINGTON, DC, June 5.-The
case of George W. Woodruff for add
tional judge of the United States Cir
cult Court in Hawaii hangs fire. There
was report that the Senate Judiciary
Committee might dispose of it at it's
next meeting, which is expected to oc-
cur Monday. This proves, on inquiry,
to be unfounded. 1t had been expected.
from earlier reports, that the nomina-
ton would be withdrawn. President
Taft indicated only couple of days
ago that he still hoped the nomination
would be confirmed. A member of the
Senate Judiciary Committee said today
that he expected there would be some
disposition of the case before the ad-
journment of Congress.
The Judiciary Committee proposes
that Mr. Woodruff shall have every
possible opportunity to prove that he
is capable of holding the judicial posi-
ton for which he has been designated
The Senators of that committee want
to know whether he has had any prac
tise at law that would warrant their
confirmation of him for the judgeship.
Their investigations thus far have sat.
isfed them that personally he is an
agreeable man and that he is equipped
by education for important office Up
to date, however, he has furnished no
satisfactory evidence that he has had
any law practise of moment. The i'm
preston accordingly prevails that he
is not likely to be confirmed and yet
it is still among the possibilities.
Mr. George B. Mcclellan has been to
the White House to talk with President
Taft about the attitude of some of the
Hawaiian people in the matter. He
assured the President that the Hawai-
ian people here were not opposing the
nomination, but had acquiesced. The
endorsements coming in for Mr.. Rob
ertson were based on representations
that Mr.. Woodruff could not be con-
frmed and that his nomination was
to be withdrawn. President Taft talk
ed very little about the case but did
not indicate that he purposed to with,
draw the nomination, at least for the
present.
Hawaii appears to be getting the
worst of it in the Encouragement of the
pineapple schedules. The Senate has
mot changed the schedule on fresh pine
apples yet, but it has agreed to fix
the duty at 25 per cent. on canned
pineapples which have less than 25 per

WILL INVESTIGATE
IMMIGRATION HERE

WASHINGTON, June 11.-At a
meeting held today the immigration
Commission instructed Senator Dilling-
ham, its chairman, and William R.
Wheeler to visit Hawaii next Septem.
Der and make an investigation of labor
conditions there, not only with relation
to the japanese immigrants, but to
study the immigration question in gen.
eral. Many communications have been
received on this subject, and the sugar
interests especially have asked the
Commission to look into the question
of getting immigrants who will be
adaptable to island conditions which
the Territory has attempted to do with
Indifferent success.
The work of gathering statistics re.
garding the japanese on the Pacific
Coast is progressing under the direction
of Professor Miles in such a satisfac-
tory manner that the work will be com
pleted by September l, and the Com
mission win then be able to present
valuable statistics on the subject. The
other field work of the Commission will
be closed July /, and field workers will
be set to work tabulating the work
already done. The Commission will
close its existence March l.

LEAD To SIX ARRESTS
IN SAN FRANCISCO

In the arrest of FIVE Chinese stow
always and All Chin, No. Chinese boy
on the Pacific Mail liner Manchuria,
on June il, in San Francisco, Richard
H. Taylor, special inspector Of the T..
s. immigration service, stated to the.
press there that he believed he had
obtained line on the ring which has
been engaged in smuggling Chinese to
San Francisco from Hawaii and Asia
tic ports.
TAYLOR was down here recently, his
Investigations extending over period
of twenty-six days. He became con-
WINGED while here that the Chinese
were getting into the United States
IN large numbers on the Pacific Mail
liners, and his raid on the Manchuria
in San Francisco evidently justified his
belief The Chinese stowaways are
said to each have paid $500 for being
landed in the United States. This
money is supposed to have gone to All
Chin, in whose room in the liner sew
eral boxes full of gold, aggregating a.
sum over 5000, were found.

Under a two-column cut of Miss
Pauline Evans of this city, with the
heading Hawaiian Girls Tell Fair Wis
itors About Islands, The Seattle Post
Intelligencer of June IL has as follows
to say:
The busiest department in the Hawai-
ian building is the information bureau
where young women from the islands
answer the rapid fire questions of visit
ors from the moment the doors open
in the morning until evening. Some
of the inquiries are earnest, sensible
questions and some show an amazing
lack of knowledge of the location of
the islands with reference to other
parts of the earth, but all of them are
answered with unfailing good nature
and with desire to give as much in
formation as possible.
'EToday / was asked if the people
of the islands used the koa wood canoes
to 60 from Honolulu to Manila, said
Miss Pauline Evans yesterday. Many
appeared to think that Hawaii and the
Philippines were neighboring islands
and that people went back and forth
>.
surd questions were asked by visitors
who should know better, but we are
always glad to give such information
as they seek. -
Yesterday Miss Evans conducted a
small class in pronunciation of Hawai-
ian names. A group of teachers who
had been attending the demonstrations
at the Educational building were the
pupils. When it was explained that
the numerous novels in the Hawaiian
names had the continental pronuncia-
ton and that all of the vowels were
sounded. the class had less difficulty
with the words.
'Yet when Miss Evans spoke the
soft sounding svllables the words were
like the ripping of brook, while the
pupils found many snags in the stream.
F'What does aloha meant" is the
first question usually propounded at
the information bureau. "Aloha - has
been wrought in large letters in the
trellis work at the main entrance to
the building and IT is the first thing
to catch the eve of the observing per-
son.
cit means welcome, good luck or
pest WISHES, answered MISS Evans
numerous times.
Does anybody speak English on the
islands7'' asked another of the visitors.
Miss Evans explained that nearly
everybody spoke English, that English
was taught in the schools as well as
French, German. Spanish and italian.
However. there are visitors who have
gained a definite knowledge of the
| islands from books and whose ques-
tions relate to the cost of living, the
resources, the flowers, the pineapples,
the sugar cane and the sisal from

on his scheme and finally realized his
hopes. The machine he says will revo-
lutionize the present methods for the
generation of power, as no coal or oil
will be used for fuel. A storage bat
terry, or electric current is only neces-
sary to start the machine. Thereafter
the machine generates its own power
and generates unlimited power for com
mercial use In that sense that it sup
plies its own power and generates ad-
ditional power the discovery borders on

Mr.. Tuch has been employed for
many years ON various plantations as
a sugar boiler and general plantation
man, his last work as a sugar boiler

CRAFTS ON MAINLAND;
THW|NG IN HONOLULU

NEW YORK, June 14.-Letters and
aftidavlts sent to President Roosevelt
and Attorney General Bonaparte by the
citizens of Honolulu charging that R.
w. Breekons, United States District At
torney for Hawaii, was unfit for office,
were made public today by Rev. DIR.
Wilbur f. Crafts, superintendent of
the International Reform Bureau. -
The man who collected the affidavits
and swore to several himself, Rev. E.
w. Thwing, formerly pastor of the
Chinese church in Honolulu, is now
Chinese secretary of the ''Reform
Bureau
Thwing charges that "Breckons
moral character, his life and habits
make it impossible for him to receive
the respect of a large portion of the
community; that he gives aid to law
breakers and men of evil character;
that he aids and. defends criminal
cases while acting as the Government S
prosecuting officer; that he has refused
to enforce the law against prizefght-
ing and other offenses, and that he has
been neglectful and careless in prose
cutting certain cases, whereby Grimm
ais have gone free.
Each of the charges is accom-
panied by afidavits. 1t is alleged that
Breckons reputation in Honolulu is
Thoroughly bad''; that he "gam-
bles'' and "drinks,' and associates
with Chinese and japanese of ques-
tionable character.
Breckons, who sent in his resigna-
ton before President Roosevelt IS term
ended, withdrew his resignation at At
torney-General Wickersham request,
and now the Honolulu men who com
planned last year are again pushing
the charges against him.
Charges similar to the above are be-
ing peddled around the newspaper
offices in Honolulu by the Rev. f. w
Thwing, although much of it has been
published and republished. The Ad-
vertiser declined Mr.. -Thwing's com
munication on the subject, which has
already been officially investigated.

I'm your man, boss. You're the

"Al right; now march,"
Still keeping a firm hold on the
mans collar, Allerton swung him
around facing the door, when both
started back with a gasp of surprise.
A woman in a long white dressing
gown stood facing them with a revolt
yer in her right hand, pointed firmly
at them.
The crash of the falling bottle had
done the mischief.

Don't you think I'd better be going,

Giving the mans collar a vicious
twist, Allerton led him, followed by
Estelle and her pistol, into the dining
room, where he lighted the gas. The
burglar picked up his shoes, and, seat.
ing himself on the window seat, swung
his feet out and prepared to jump
when Allerton should release his hold.
"Say," he said, when he felt himself
entirely free, you're a couple of game

With a low chuckle of delight the
burglar lodged a vicious uppercut that
Allerton handed to him and dropping
quickly to the ground disappeared.
