SUGAR OUTLOOK
IS ENCOURAGING

The sugar outlook is decidedly salts
factory to planters, and the prospect of
good prices seems excellent. L. L.
Paxton of Alexander & Baldwin, one
of the most conservative of the sugar
authorities, when seen yesterday by an
Advertiser reporter, said:
sit is as yet too early to make any
prediction in regard to sugar prices, but
maturing as it has been up to the pres
ent, the prices should continue strong.
''To be sure, the rate of increase in
the consumption of sugar in the United
States has fallen off somewhat, and the
demand will not be as great as might
have been expected, judging from sta
tistics of prior years But, on the
whole, the market should remain firm.
'The difference in parity between
European beet and cane sugar continues
greater than it has been at this season
of the year at any time within the past
ten years. have not gone back be.
yond that to investigate the matter
This is largely due to the heavy Euro,
pean crop that has just been marketed
The difference in parity should largely
disappear as the balance of the Cuban
crop is taken into consumption.
Inquiry at other places brought forth
much the same information as that
given out by Mr.. Paxton. Mr.. Paxton
was very emphatic in insisting that he
did not care to step into the limelight
as forecaster of sugar prices, but his
ideas seemed to coincide pretty general
ly with those expressed by others il
close touch with the sugar market.

ROYAL ANNEX
now A SALOON
From Saturdays Advertiser,


Henceforth the Royal Annex will be
conducted solely as saloon. At yes.
terday afternoon meeting of the
Board of License Commissioners, the
application of w. c. Peacock s. Co.,
to have the restaurant license changed
to a saloon license was granted.
r. j, Buchly was present on behalf
of w. C. Peacock & Co. and announced
that he had secured the consent of
all of the property owners in the dis
trict affected. After twenty minutes
deliberation in executive session the
board granted the application and is
sued the necessary order.
John E. Roberts, former cavalry.
man in Uncle Sans service, was pres.
ent to press his claims for saloon Ii
cense for the premises on Alakea
street known as the Kentucky. He
was represented by Attorney Douthitt.
Douthitt argued that the license
should be granted, in that Roberts is a
man of good repute and calculated to
conduct a saloon in an orderly man
ner. Inspector Fennell was asked
whether or not the application was en-
dorsed by the majority OF the property
holders in the neighborhood. After
looking over the list he announced that
the requisite signatures had not been
secured, so the matter was carried over
for one week to allow Roberts to pro-
cure the needed names.

GUN PLAY CAUSES
EXCITEMENT ON Street

. A trio of men struggling on King
street near the junction of King and
Beretania avenue on Saturday night
caused a crowd to collect just in time
to see one take a revolver from one
of the trio who appeared to be greatly
excited. As soon as the revolver was
out of the hands of its owner the trio
broke up.
1t appears that Buchly of Peacock
& Co. and Bartlett of the Honolulu
Brewing Company went to the saloon
of Klemme at the Junction building to
discuss some financial matters. Klemme
got excited and finally when he opened
drawer the visitors saw a gun in
sight. They left the place but shortly
afterward Klemme rushed down the
street. The men noticed the revolver
still in his possession, and it was
promptly taken from him.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR
MOVES UPWARD

Hawaiian Sugar took decided up.
ward jump yesterday and though the
price offered was very stiff, there was
practically none of the stock in sight.
The last recorded sales were at $40,
but before the session the price went
up to $l7.5O. During the session one
sale was made at that price, but
small block shortly after brought
$47.75.
The rumor of an extra dividend, or
an increase in the dividend rate, con-
tinued to float about the downtown
district, though without any apparent
authority. Il. L. Paxton, secretary of
Alexander & Baldwin, when asked con-
corning the report, said that the di-
reetors are not contemplating any ex-
( ira, dividend and that all rumors to
that effect are without official founda-
tioI..
He said that the plantation is in
first class condition, however, and
seemed to consider the outlook very
satisfactory. The company a short
time ago redeemed all of its outstand-
ing bonds.
Oahu Sugar continued very strong ut
$S0.25, with practically none in sight.
A few shares changed hands during
the session, but not enough to fill an
order Between boards 235 shares were
sold at $So25. The stock is held at
$1,000, asked.

ty as to what the dividend rate would
be after the directors meeting,

Josephine's Many Namea

Josephine. empress Of the French.
was Yeyette 10 her intimate friends.
Her name IN reality was Marie Josephe
Rose. Napoleon after the marriage
exacted that she should be known as
Josephine. He had n mania for re-
baptizing the women Of his encourage.
He made his sister Marianne an Elise,
OF Annonciade a Caroline, OF Paulette
Pauline.
Among her numerous friends Joseph
ihe remained Yeyette. Barras never
called her otherwise.
The pope was 30 unfamiliar with
her name that when he sent his bene-
dlctlon the letter borne by his legate
was addressed TO "Our Sister In Jesus
Christ Victoria Bonapar,e."
In 1914. on the departure for Elba,
the Dehats designated Josephine under
the paraphrase 'the mother OF Prince
Eugene"
