The Philadelphia Dispatch is not numbered among the
supporters Of the antsaoon yet refers the
defeat of the local option bill in the Pennsylvania Legis
lature in these terms:
The advocates of local option will not of course,

not satisfied with the license system; they believe
that the world is moving toward the abolition of aco-
holc drinks and that what they propose practicable
for the good of the public health and morals
Believing this, they may be expected to continue
its advocacy, and if they persuade the great body
of voters to their views they may yet win. Thus far
they have not carried public opinion with them but it
may be that before another session of the Legislature
other application of the principle may be
devised that will meet with success

that the liquor question would be solved to follow

YEARS
HEAVY SENTENCES FOR 1901, OF
TWILEI FAME AND HIS WIFE
BRECKONS' HARD WORK.

Isoi, who for many years was the
chief of the immoral characters OF
Iwilei, was sentenced to five years in
Jail, to pay a fine of $1,000 and the
costs of court by Judge Dole this
morning. His wife Chise, who was
also concerned in the same business
was sentenced to four years in Jail
and to pay $500 fine and the costs.
The heavy sentence came as a sur
prise to both, for they expected that,
owing to information which they had
given through which evidence against
other defendants in the Japanese slav-
cry cases was obtained, they would
bet let off easily.
Isol and his wife were the two lead
ers in the gang which made a busl-
ness of importing women to this city
from Japan for immoral purposes and
which has been so effectively broken
up through the efforts of United States
District Attorney Breckons. For some
time it appeared as though it would
be impossible to obtain enough evil
dence to convict, but Breckons, by
spending day and night on the trail,
worked up his cases and has obtain
ed several, convictions of which these
two are the most important

recent orders were received it was
thought that the battalion commanded
by Major Dunning might join them
and be replaced by four other COM
panys of infantry.
Another detachment of troops may
be expected here in the very near fu-
ture, consisting of the first INSTALL
ment of the Coast Artillery to be sent
o Hawaii. They will be needed for
the tests of the big twelve inch NOR
tars which are located at Diamond
Head. One of the pits containing four
guns, has already been completed and
the last gun in the second pit is now
being mounted. An officer of the or
dinance branch of the service will
reach this city in May to test the
guns and he must have men who are
used to handling such work with him
in order to handled the job as it
should be done. Very soon after that

lery may be expected

The House of Representatives is sit

The nine o'clock resolution intro

was for the purpose of getting through

away with any possibility of having to

A rumor has spread through the
Fifth Cavalry, which cannot be traced
to any definite source, but which is
still well defined, to the effect tha.
the third squadron of the Fifth Ca
valry, which is now stationed at yell
lowstone Park, is to be brought to
Oahu to increase the garrison now
located at Leilehua. Just when this
will happen is not stated, but the
feeling seems to be strong that such
action will be taken by the War De-
partment in the near future.
The members of the battalion OF the
Twentieth, which is stationed at Fort
Shafter, are greatly rejoiced over the
fate that they will remain here for
two years more, or until their regi-
ment returns from its tour of auey
in the Philippines. The other bat
talions in the regiment will pass
through this city on their way to Nc
Mia on the May ,ransport and until
