James E. Thompson was given per-
mission to change the location of the
Kentucky saloon from its present stand
on Alakea street to the Empire build
ing at the corner of Bethel and Hotel
streets, by the Liquor Commission at
its meeting held yesterday afternoon.
There was a strenuous protest entered
in the matter by John G. Woolley, of
the Anti-Saloon League, but it was Of
no avail. Woolley stated that he
knew nothing against the manner In
which Thompson conducted the Ken
lucky saloon, but that the tendency in
all communities was to lessen the sale
of liquor, while the only reason that
Thompson desired to take the change
in location was that he could increase
his sales. In executive session the
board decided to allow the change.

hoped that most of these can be over

back of him the harsh clamorings

ry had been sighted. The hounds were
coming on the run, and round the
bend of the road emerged an excited
but grimly determined lot of men OF
that stamp which makes a frontier,
set jawed, lean visaged, and running
with the long, Looping stride of those
accustomed to sustained violent ex-
ertion.
Seigo, distracted and desperate,
took a few steps in either direction,
uncertain which way to turn, and
then discovered but short distance
below boat in which lay a pair of
oars. 1t was the. only way to gain a
moments respite from those great
brutes which, with bellies low to the
ground, with lolling jaws and flaming
eyes. whose red he could discern,
were closing in on him. He made
three or four frantic leaps and threw
himself into the craft, showing it OF
almost as the animals were upon him,
and then with maniacal energy threw
the oars into the locks and bent him.

Even then at the last he experienced
one brief moment of exultation as he
heard the swish of parted waters
against the bow land saw the space
widening between him and the beach
on which stood his bafled pursuers.
He saw the men halt on the single
and heard them shouting to him; but
never ceased pulling, hoping and half
believing that he could put himself
beyond range. 1t was Seigo against
them all now, and he began to glow
with triumph, not knowing the char
acter of those men of the west who
still gave him chance for his life.
Drunk with excitement, he shouted
back taunt in his own tongue.
Two of the men on the beach knelt
down and aimed their rifles calmly
and steadily at that moving target
which was drawing away. They were
as cool as they would have been If

The rising sun made of the Japanese

sharp reports, and Seigo sprang to his
feet, dropped his hold on the oars. and

round in his wildly bobbing craft, and
then slowly pitched forward and over
into the waters of the sound, his days
Of effort terminated in defeat and his

On as great prima donna, yet almost
invariably these queens of the operate
stage discourage girls from trying to
follow in their footsteps. Nine. Calve,
who above all the rest seems to get
pleasure out of her life, is quoted as
saying to such girls: IF you have no
home, II you have no money, If you
are absolutely without affection, If
there is nothing else you can do, then
sing, but II not do anything else. Make

singers lead, and involves deprivations
OF Whist most people call pleasure. The
voice and its care must have the first
thought and the last, which means in
fact that the singer Is slave to her
precious voice. And yet, remarks the
Indianapolis Star, all that Calve and
her sister singers may say win not
hinder one girl from striving to stand
where they do If she has the ambition
with any sort of voice.

still holding remnant of food in his
hand, and waited for repetition of
the noise, which, borne on the breeze,
was heard more sharply. Only once
before had he ever known that same
sullen bay, and then it was when as
visitor in southern village he had
seen pack of hounds followed by
excited men pass him in quest of a
negro criminal. His memory harked
back to that time, and his hair raised
itself in terror. He threw away his
food and dashed madly into the woods,
seeking to escape that menacing un-
dertone which his consciousness told
him could have but one quarry. He
knew in an instant that the boy had
betrayed him, and that he, Count
Seigo, nobleman of Japan and de.
scendant of the Samurai, was being
hunted by dogs like wild beast of
the woods.

PEELED him to stop and seek for ave-
nues through the wilderness. He ran
down what seemed an old deserted
road; but on neither side could he find
a place favoring change of course.
He was doubling back along the side
of triangle, and was so close at one
time to the hounds that he momen-
tarily expected them to break cover,
drop the scent afforded by the hand
kerchief and cut across to where he
was. He could even distinguish the
shouts of the men behind, continually
encouraging the animals in the chase,
and heard one exclaim: Its the Jap,
all right, or he wouldn't have lit out
so quick!"
His teeth came together with click
at this confirmation of his suspicious,
and now he realized that wherever an
officer of the law was posted warning
had been given of his coming. He
swore that he would yet escape, and
urged himself in the name of his
country to rush ahead; and thus for
many minutes the fate of Japan rested
on a race between bloodhounds and a
fugitive who tore headlong through
the underground, careless of thorns
which reached out and SCARED his
face, ripped the false queue from his
short cropped bristling hair and rent
his clothing.
Once, blinded with Precipitation, he
plunged into what appeared to be a
pathway; but fell through tangle at
the end, to find himself beside way

swallows of water and retraced his
steps, cursing fate for the loss of

down the roadway. A flash of re-

waters edge. At his feet stretched
only tossing waves, and like stag at
bay he was driven to the open.

the senate has more than once adopt

amendment. The trouble has been
that the house has never appeared to
regard the subject of sufficient impor-

congress has lost some of its valued
members through exposure on the

There is not a member of the two
houses soon to meet who will not run
