TEMPERkNGE N0IEs
LBy Mrs J. C. Blacklnton, press correspondent of the, w. c. T. U.1

The woman's Christian Temperance Union extends a vote of thanks to the Imperial Valley Press for space in the columns Of the Press for temperance news and items.
 Through the generous hospitality of Mir. and Mrs. Ira Aten, the w. c. T. U had most enjoyable all-day out ing last Friday at their pleasant ranch home north Of town. The many thrifty trees growing about the place, and the drive by the green barley and alfal- ia fields. caused a lingering wish that the Ladies Section" and the nov ing spirits generally, of our promis- ing metropolis would make greater haste with some of those visions of The City Beautiful"
 Following the business meeting a lunch was served, and croquet and tennis completed most delightful outing for which vote of thanks was extended to the hostesses, Mes danes Aten, Boyce and Moore.
 The date for the county convention was set for April 21st and 22nd to be held at the Methodist Church in El Ceptro. Mrs. Blackinton, Mrs. Pyle and Mrs, Aten were named as delegates.
 The following are the officers for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. Ida Tout; Vice -Presidents:-M E. Church. Mrs. Mary Royce; Presbyter- ian Church, Mrs. Dora Blackinton; Christian Church, Mrs. Imogene Aten; Recording Secretary, Mrs. J. c. New ton; Corresponding Secy., Mrs. D. D. Lawrence; Treasurer, Mrs. Kittie Paris; Superintendents of Depart, ments: Literature, Mrs. Pyle; Press, Mrs. Dora Blackinton; Anti -Narcot- ics. Mrs. Carrie Rapp; EvaAgelistic, Mrs. Mary Royce; Legislation and Law Enforcement, Imogene Aten; Red Letter Day, Mary Garren; Mothers Meeting and Purity, Mrs. D. K. Burn ham.
 The next meeting will be held at Mrs. Pyle's on Broadway near Fifth. The program will consist of a char acter sketch of Eligabeth Cady Stan ton and What She Did For Us," and 'Woman's Part in the Prohibition Movement"
 The activity of the Anti-Saloon Leagues throughout the Middle West created great interest among the liquor dealers, who have sent cir culars to all the members of these Associations enjoining them to strict ly obey the law, and a convention is to be held in May to discuss other ways and means of being good"
 Beginning with April 3rd all the public schools in the Federal district of Mexico will include Temperance" in their course of study, as direct re- suit of the work of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Amer lea
 The Times of March 30th says: Predictions of sweeping victories for the dry forces in Illinois, Michigan, In diana, and Ohio at the coming cleo tions and the adoption of prohibition laws in Arkansas and Florida before the year Is ended, were made today by Chas. K. Jones. Chairman of the Prohibition National Committee. MT Jones says further. The victory in Springfield. Ohio, Is another evidence that the battle against the liquor traf- fic is entering a new epoch even in places where the liquor traffic is most strongly entrenched."

"one Touch of Nature Makes tn
 Whole World Kin"

Wnole WoTlu Nlns
 When a rooster finds a big, fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature Is to be observed when man discovers something exceptionally good-he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This Is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for pub lication. that others similarly alling may also use 1t and obtain relief. Be- hind every one of these letters Is a warm hearted wish of the writer to be of use to someone else. This rem edy is for sale by Dunaway q Lowe. Druggists.

HOW A LOYAL LABORER WAS
MOBBED BY THE THUGS

Sheriff Jarrett returned last evening
from two days tour of various plan
tations, part of his time being given
to investigating an assault made upon
a japanese laborer on Eva plantation
near honolulu on Sunday The in
jured man, Tsuchiya Giichi, who is in
the japanese hospital at Waipahu vii
lage, was badly handled by four thugs,
who broke his arm, made ugly bruises
on his back and just over his kidneys,
damaged his face and famed his legs.
On Sunday morning Giichi went to
work as usual, although the others in
his quarters did not. He was working
at pump when friend asked him to
come back to the house, which he did.
He went to his room and was talking
with his friend. Three japanese then
entered the house. Giichi did not know
them. They asked him to come down
stairs, He told them to come up if
they wanted to talk to him. They did,
and started 70 beat him. He picked up
a lamp and threw it, striking one man
in the face with it. Then he used a
chair and struck some one over the
head. During this time blows were
rained on him. He ran downstairs and
through large crowd of japanese and
took refuge in a canefeld. The thugs
followed and found him and beat him
with iron bars. When they had him in
their power, they tied him with rope
and carried him back to the house.
Afterward he received medical atten-
ton.
After the row Deputy Sheriff Fernan-
dez went over to Investigate He
found a man who was bruised on the
face, but learned little from him and
he thought the row had been exagger-
ated. Yesterday, however, both the
sheriff and the deputy learned that the
man with the bruised face was the one
struck with the lamp. He is laid up
and is receiving medical attention He
is a gambler named Yoshida, and the
police know him well. Yoshida claims
he does not know who the other three
men are. They are said TO be outsiders
1t is thought by the police that the
three thugs were Fired to assault Giichi
because he insisted on working
Jailed to Save Him.

AORAhC| MAY De
REPLACED NEXT TRIP

According TO the present Indications
the Canadian-Australian steamer 40
rangi, which is the next vessel on the
schedule to leave Australia for this
port, will be replaced by another boat
of the same line for the trip. 1t was
thought that when the Aorangi was
taken off, a steamer OF the same high
class as the Makura would be put
in her place, but on account OF the
fact that the government subsidy al
lowed the steamship company was
merely continued for one more year,
the probabilities are that the new yes
sci to come through here viii be OF
the same size and style as the 40
rangi The government and the steam
ship company are still fighting over
the subsidy question, according to in
formation brought on the Makurag and
until the latter is guaranteed definite
financial aid from the government, no
extra expense viii be gone to in the
matter of keeping up the Canadian
run. The next boat sent out from the
Colonies. whether or not it is the Ao-
rangi, will be used as an excursion
craft between Victoria and Seattle
for at least one voyage. The local
agents of the company expect heavy
passenger travel from Australia this
summer on account of the fair in
Seattle and as a consequence, local
people will find it difficult TO secure
accommodations on these steamers.

CLARENCE COOKE
TAKEN FOR TOURIST

On Saturday night members of the
Liquor Commission, accompanied by
License Inspector Fennell, made a tour
of nearly all the saloons in the city be-
tween and 1920 clock. They found
all the saloons being conducted in an
orderly and seem1y manner, save one.
The proprietor of that saloon was seen
and reminded that his place must be
conducted properly and he replied he
would do so.
A short time ago Mr.. Fennel. on his
rounds, was accompanied by Clarence
Cooke. In one of the saloons Mr.. Fen
nell introduced Mr.. Cooke to the pro-
prietor.
''Glad to meet you said the bar
tender, pleasantly How do you like

ascertained the cost of building struc-
lures adjoining the present territorial
prison upon the basis of a separation
of the county Jail from the present
institution and absolute management
by new set of officers; pay of iailers,
guards, lunas and cost for the mainten-
ance of prisoners for eighteen months
ending December 81 1910, as well as
necessary expenditures for hospital and
equipment. The committee reported
they had investigated the cost under
the present management up to Deem
Der 81, 1910.
Under the proposed management with
new jailer appointed, the cost would
be per month $3.50; for twelve months.
$13,S00; for eighteen months, $20,95U
These figures are for salaries only. The
maintenance of prisoners would be
$1,000 per month or $21 900.
The cost of adjoining buildings and
equipment would be:
Hospital and equipment, $4,000; kit
chen range and cooking utensils, $780,
Jailer S cottage and furniture, $500;
office furniture, $500; wash house and
bathroom for women, $500; store room
and lamp room $500; 300 feet wooden
wall, nails and labor, 1925; 100 bIan-
kets, $500; 100 iron buckets, $50; 100
hammocks, $50; water cistern. $3.50;
incldentals, $500; a total of $7275. The
aggregate of these estimates is $49, 1926.
Under the present management, that
is if High Sheriff Henry is appointed
to assume control of the county Jail,
the salary payroll would be $12.87O for
Ifrtt e
oners for eighteen months, $1,000 or
a total of salaries and maintenance of
$29,S70. The committee shows that the
difference in estimates is 1895 in
favor of management under High Sher-
if Henry. The committee therefore rec
commended that the management of the
county Jail be placed in the hands of
High Sheriff Henry, the warden of the
territorial prison. Following this the
committee estimated the pay of jailers
of district iails and maintenance for
eighteen months, $500.
This report drew from the Mayor the
comment that when the report is re
ferred to the committee of the whole
board the sheriff of the county should
be asked to attend The Mayor added
that eve don t need the High Sher-
if. - Mr.. Logan agreed with the Mayor.
He knew from the figures that they
favored the High Sheriff s recommends
ton. He stated that his estimates as
a member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee were below the high figures Of
the Cox-Quinn committee and the lat
ter figures favoring the High Sheriff
were below his logan 81 lowest fig
ures.
1t was finally agreed to have the
sheriff present. The latter is the of
fcer who appoints the jailer of the city
jail, anyhow
Some Overdrafts.
Although the figures were not pre-
scented at last night S meeting it is
known that the overdrafts of the city
and county for all departments at the
end of the first six months period end
ing June 80, will amount to about
$4,000. 1t is reported that 5000 Of this

A new ordinance to prevent the in
residence districts where they are not
desired by neighboring property-owners
was presented to the Board of Super
visors last evening by the Mayor on be-
half of p L. Weaver, the attorney, who
had been instructed to draw up the
same by the Kaahumanu Improvement
Association Mr. Weaver, in his letter
of transmittal, stated that he had gone
into the subject carefully and had
other cities, and he believed that this
one would pass muster in the courts.
This ordinance makes it unlawful for
any person to locate, build, construct,
maintain or keep new tenement house
in any locality within the Honolulu
district in which two-thirds of the
buildings as a whole or in part, within
FIVE hundred feet of such tenement
house, are devoted to or adapted to

Gable Endorsement.

Robertson s name was then acted
upon and Endorsed unanimously by the
members of the Bar Association pres
ent. A. f. Judd and D. L. Wilmington
were named as committee to draft
resolutions, expressing the sentiment of
the Bar Association as favoring the APP
pointment of Robertson. The resolu-
ton will be cable to Washington, and it
is believed that there will be little de-
lay IN acting on the appointment of a
successor to the place supposed to have
been secured by Woodruff.
Coincident with the announcement of
Robertson s candidacy comes the state
ment that Circuit Judge Robinson has
withdrawn his name and will be con
tent with his present place on the Cir
cult bench.
1t is understood that Robertson S ap-
pointment will meet with the approval
of Governor Frear. The withdrawal of
Woodruff and the wording of the cable
received from Mcclellan proves con
clusively that the Endorsement of the
Hawaiian Bar Association carries great
weight with the appointive power at
Washington, and that in the case of
the second Federal judgeship it holds
the balance of power.
