STUCK ON CHAIR AND
WANTS PAY FOR IT
(By United Press)

TACOMA, June 10.-Because of
inability to separate herself from
a chair just vanished, Miss M. A.
Morey of Seattle has brought suit
against the Tacoma hotel to re-
cover damages to her gown.
She adds $4S to the claim for
mental anguish through which she
passed while trying to separate the
gown from the chair. The incident
occurred May II in the crowded
lobby.
A woman can generally twist a
man around her little finger, un-
less she happens to be married to
him.

SOME ADVICE FROM
4 FEW DISSATISFIED

Commenting on the mission of A. j.
Campbell, as agent Of the Inmigra-
ton Board, to Europe in search of
settlers and laborers for Hawaii, some
of the Portuguese whose relatives
came out as immigrants a couple of
years ago state that whatever policy
the board decides upon, there should
be no overstatement of what advan-
tages there may be here, and no under
rating of the cost of living and oppor-
tunities to make a living.
Some of the Portuguese arriving
here two years ago are making an eff
fort to return home, and have written
back that they do not want their little
places there sold. They state that in
their native land they have a little
home and truck garden at least, goats
which supply the household with milk,
and that the embroidery and fancy
work produced by the women find a
ready market in New York. They
claim that in Hawaii they do not have
the same advantages, and the cost of
living is higher than at home and It
is hard to make enough money to keep
a large family. There is no market
for embroidery.

Il am not going to say anything to
YOU about the reasons for the strike.
You. know the reason why you struck
better than l. You know that for the
work you do in those hot cane fields,
in the sweltering heat of the tropic
sun, you are not getting money
enough. You know that on many of
the plantations of the Hawaiian Is
the way from 20 to 80 per cent. for
their investments, which means that
for every $10O thy put in year they
are getting from $40 to $50 back again.
I Now if the plantations We're not
making enormous sums of money, if
they were losing money, believe the
japanese of the Territory would come
to the help of the planters and say,
we will be willing to work for less
wages until you make money, but
when they are making millions upon
millions you should share some of
those profits.
You know it is your right and they
know it is your right. l believe that
the japanese of this Territory love to
do the right and when they find out
what the right is, they will do it in
spite of everything.
when, a few years ago, the Japa-
nese thought it right to go to war with
Russia, they did not stand and say.
Shall we go to WARP but they went
and they fought, although they lost
thousands of their citizens. yet they
fought to the bitter end. When every
one of you is dead, your children and
grandchildren will say this. My an
cestors fought at Port Arthur and
they went up and took those terrible
guns and had to do it over the bodies
of their comrades by thousands
and / believe. also, that your sons
and grandsons will point with pride
to the fact that their fathers an6
grandfathers inaugurated this strike
for higher wages in the Territory Of
Hawaii in the year 1909.

LIQUOR BOARD
HOLDS MEETING
WoolIey Makes Suggestions to
the Commissioners at
Hearing.

A meeting of the Board of Liquor
License Commissioners was held yes
terday afternoon in the throne room
at the Capitol and expressions of opin-
ion heard from John G. Woolley, repre-
senting the Anti-Saloon League and
Attorney E. C. Peters in the behalf of
the Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associ-
alton and r. j. Buchly of Peacock &
Co, Ltd
Mr.. Woolley and Attorney Peters
made number of suggestions to the
members of the Board which they
thought would have beneficial effect
upon the regulation of the liquor traffic
on the Island of Oahu.
In the course of his remarks Mr.
Woolley stated that the Board must
realize that they were dealing with q
dangerous business, an acknowledges
peril to the public, and that they were
vested with large powers of executive
discretion in the enforcement of The
laws He stated that he was opposed
to a wholesaler holding retailer IS Ii
cense, and that man conducting
retail saloon should give it his persona
attention, and that wholesaler shoult
not conduct string of saloons as
side issue. The second objection, voiee'
| by Mr.. Woolley, was that no rectife
should have a retail license, and h
| added that he had been informed tina
| liquor of very poor quality was bein
placed on the market in Honolulu. Nj
| Buchly denied that the rectifiers ha
any hand in the manufacture of in
pure spirits, and stated that it was III
der the full control of the officers o
the Federal Government.
The Sunday Privilege.
Mr.. Woolley also stated that the SUI
day privilege should be either entirel
abrogated or greatly curtailed He sal
that he was not speaking as fanatics
| temperance reformer'' but insisted tina
| at the very least the cases in whic
| the privilege had been abused and til
law fouted, should receive the earnes
attention of the commission, and tn
| penalties of revocation of license il
voked with merciless vigor when
was found that the law had been vie
lated. He said that the bona fide mes
clause in the law relating to the sers
ing of Intoxicating liquors by restal
| rants should receive more attention an
that the sandwich scheme was
farce and disgrace
Emphatic objection was raised b
Mr.. Woolley to the granting of
cense to conduct resort in proximit
to the reservation at Leilehua. II
said that it was rumored that such a
| application would be made. He d
| clared that it was the expressed con
mand of the Congress of the Unite
States that liquor should not be sol
| upon the reservations, and that
granting the license the Board of L
cense Commissioners would be abettin
an evasion of the law promulgate
at Washington.
Attorney Peters stated that TIL
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Assoeiatio
was anxious to cooperate with the Con
| missioners in the enforcement Of til
law and that it was distinctly to the
4 advantage to have the regulations al
piled with energy and effect.
| Following the discussion the Boar
went into executive session to eonsid'
twenty-three applications for renewa
of liquor licenses.

A Pies For . Graduated Standard Of
Misconduct.
What is really wanted at the present
time is standard Of misconduct. We
are constantly doing things In doubt.
NJ II we hadn't right to do them.
The confusion caused by people do
ing things which In their circumstances
We had no right to expect Is the prin-
cipal cause OF our troubles. 1t ought
to be definitely settled. for example,
that any millionaire who has. say,
over a hundred millions will there
after lead IN honest life. II he has
only fifty millions his life should be
semi-honest, and II he has only paltry
ten millions then it ought to be con-
coded that he can loot few railroads
or 90 until he gets on his feet.
Up to, say, ten thousand year no
man can afford to be dishonest. He
his seat to women under thirty-five at
least. and Of course he will not take
the. chance of rchbing any safe. From
ten thousand up to 4 hundred thou
sand he can engage in little dishonest
hiers BY making one Of pool or put
ting through land deal or so for
variety.
When hs gets dfty millions or more
together. however. every man ought
to ask himself plainly the question
whether from now on he ought not to
be philanthropist. Doesn't he owe
this to his fellow men Life.
