VICTIM OF BURGLARS
ROAsTS DETECTIVES

Tom Birmingham of Z. o. Hall &
Son, whose house at the corner of Pi-
ikoi and Lunallo streets was robbed
a couple of weeks ago, brought the
matter to the attention of the Board
of Supervisors last night in letter in
which he roasted" the police depart
ment, particularly Chief of Detectives
Kalakiela and his force. His letter
was long one and related the manner
in which his house was entered and
robbed, how he called the attention of
The police to the affair, how he called
the Sheriff's personal attention to it
and requested the chief of detectives
to call upon him. He attacked the
chief because neither that official nor
any member of his force had called
to see him either at his office or at
his home. Mr.. Birmingham said that
several other robberies had occurred in
his district and he had not heard that
anything had been done in any case.
Inc matter was referred to the police
committee for investigation.

nse them, iron and gold must
first be got out of the ore. The
same principle applies to cod liv-
er oil. Its virtues are not in its
fatty matters much less in its
sickening taste and smell. No
consumptiye, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, was ever
greatly benefited by the so-called
''plain" cod liver oil. The shock
it gives to the nerves, the repul-
sion and disgust it excites in the
stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses of smell and
taste, are enough to spoil any
medicinal potency that may be
in it for the majority of people.
This-to say nothing about its
being indigestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among the elements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-
listed curative properties of the
highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
was successfully accomplished in

Honorable II. J.. Holsten, Speaker Of

Sir: Your Committee ON Finance

" An Act TO regulate the sale of in

67 of the Session Laws of 1905 intro

leave to report as follows:
''The present law regulating the H..
censing and sale of Intoxicating liquors
in the Territory of Hawaii is com.
plete and harmonious system. 1t is
based on the Canadian law, which is
recognized as one of the best known

such as dangerous epidemic infectious
diseases, fire, riots, nuisances of various
sorts, and protection of the public gen

be exercised summarily, and the right
of appeal does not exist as constitu.
tional right.
1.-THE liquor men want the right of
appeal inserted in the law. The power
lodged with the commission is dis.
cretionary one. Where such power
exists, it is always the duty of the
holder of the power to exercise it rea.

work at once ON the First Circuit Court
items, the items over which storm

at $l25 a month; Chinese interpreter
at 1928 month; expenses, $4,000.

in amendments. These were: Clerk,
500 month; stenographer, s2500 for
period; law books, $3.50; expenses, ST..
