ORDERED TO PAINT OUT BREWERY SIGN

Will the big smokestack of the old Ala abama Brewing company be taken down? These stacks are probably more than 100 feet high and in years gone by large sings were painted their full length bearing the words, Alabama Brewing Company" Police officers have notified the officers of the company that the sign Is a violation of the Fuller bill, and that the word Brewing must be painted out
 As the stacks have been useless since the passage of the first prohibition laws it is understood that officers replied to the police that 1t would be more than the stacks are worth to have them repainted, and an invitation was extended to the police to take them down and carry them to police headquarters as evidence. The matter remains in statu quo.

No RATE CUTTING,
SAYS LEWIS
Auto Man Insists That Improved
Roads Justify Reduction
in the Tariff.

r. II. Lewis takes exception to some
Of the statements regarding automobile
charges made by the stand-patters and
insists that, far from being too low,
the auto rates in Honolulu are too high.
Lewis particularly objects TO the state
ment made by the driver Of large car,
and published in yesterday morning s
Advertiser, to the effect that the small
machines do but a very small part OF
the around-the-island business anyway.
"We have always done nine-tenths
of that around-the-island business, +"
said Lewis last night. Competition
does not cut any figure with us. But
we do believe that the improvements
which have been made in the road
around the Island during the last six
months justify reduction IN auto
rates.
HsWe are now advertising the around
the-island trip at $3.50 per passenger,
and after January we viii carry pas
sengers in the auto tallyho on Sundays
at 81 each.
"For short distance work I claimed
that automobiles could compete with
horse-drawn hacks and I have proved
my claim. / know that my neigh
bors across the street with their big
machines can It do it, for their expenses
are nearly double that ours are.
"But one thing we do object to, and
that is having it said that we are cut
ting prices. Our idea is that it is more
profitable to haul a large number of
people at 81 per hour than small
number at SIS. Many more people viii
ride in automobiles at the former figure
than at the latter and many more tour
lists will go around the Island at $40
than at 800"

LAM Y|P IS HELD
To THE GRAND JURY

Lam Zip, the Chinese who is accused
of having taken to wife a little fifteen
year-old girl of his own nationality,
Notwithstanding the fact that he at
that time had, and still has, wife
and grown family in China, was yes
terday held by the United States com
missioner to the action of the grand
jury. His soul has not yet been busted,
but his trousers, metaphorically speak
ing, probably win be.
Yesterday United States District At
torney Breckons took up the case of
the Korean woman who, it is claimed,
has an extra husband. After due and
proper examination, he caused the
formal arrest not only of the woman,
Kim Sun Yeh, but also of the man
who married her while she was still
married to another man. Breckons
contends that husband No. 2 knew well
enough when he married the woman
that she already had one husband.

GOOD JOB FOR SOMEONE.

There is a pretty nice job open for
somebody in the immigration office.
Notice has been posted that on Janu-
airy an examination will be held by
which to secure eligibles for the posi-
ton of immigration Inspector, at an
entrance salary of $3.50 a year. 1t is
also stated that there is a virtual GER
tainty of whoever successfully passes
the examination securing an appoint
ment somewhere, probably at Honolulu

Gin and Champagne.

He stated that he and Duvauchelle
had taken but four glasses of gin dur
ing the evening and but one glass of
a bottle of champagne that was open
ed earlier in the day. Miller had said
that Larsen was drunk, but Larsen
himself denies this, and the testimony
of the other witnesses uphold him.
He stated that he heard Duvauchelle
call to him not to ''butt in,' but paid
no attention to it. There is general
opinion among the police that the YER
diet is fair one and that Larsen
should have been exonerated, as he did
no more than any other man would in
helping a small man against big one,
and then had to strike in selfdefense.
It is admitted that Larsen is pos
sessed of hasty temper that has got
him into trouble before, but the pres
emit incident viii be lesson to him
to keep it under control. He will prob
ably leave on the Claudine this after
noon to take the position offered him
on the plantation of the Pioneer Mill
Company.

ments exonerate the hospital authori-
ties from any negligence.
On this point mis- most important tes-
timony was to the effect that it was
impossible to detect the fracture and
that he was unable TO do so himself
until after he had removed the top of
the skull. In his opinion the large
hemorrhage on the opposite side of the
head from the fracture and which was
ascribed as the chief cause of death
did not occur at the time Kaihue was
in the hospital.
The testimony of Duvauchelle was
almost an exact duplication of the
statements he made previously, printed
in yesterdays Advertiser, 1t was main
" corroborative of that of Monroe and
Knmukahi who was called later.
Charley Kumukahi. bartender at
Frank Harvey's saloon, followed Du-
vauchelle on the stand and told of his
share in the night s incident. He and
Duvauehelle had stayed together dur
ing the evening and avoided the row
after Larsen tbutted in, not appear
ing on the scene until after Kaihne
had been knocked out. Kumukahi saw
the blow struck that laid the victim
out, but his head had been turned the
other way previously.

Wife Testifes.

The next witness called was Helen
KIM, the wife of the dead man, dress
ed in heavy mourning and with heavy
black veil over her face. The most
important part of her testimony bore
upon the actions of her husband after
he returned from the hospital where
he had been treated. He was very
restless, she said, and kept continually
saying ~ am going to die, am going
to die.' He did not talk to her about
the manner in which he had been hurt.
He wanted to know where the haole
that struck him was and fell asleep
about four clock in the morning.
In her testimony she stated that Kai-
hue was stevedore and about so
years old.

Larsen s Story.

The last witness on the stand was
Larsen himself, who, after being warn
ed that anything he might say would
be used against or for him, gave a
straight story of the affair.
He corroborated the testimony that
stated that he had used his left hand
in striking and also corroborated the
previous testimony to the smallest de-
tail. He had no means of telling what
the stories told by the other witnesses
were, for he was brought to the room
where the inquest was being held di-
rectly from the Jail.

BEER, Gin AND
CHAMP AGNE IN II
Continued from Page One.)

remember who struck Kaihue as he
was in a drunken condition
He was upstairs in the house in
which Kaihue and his wife live when
Kaihue came out and asked him what
he was doing. He answered that he
was there on invitation of him (Kai-
hue) and an alteration commenced
that ended in Kaihue chasing him
downstairs. The row was continued on
the sidewalk and Monroe, Kaihue s
companion, attempted to pull the lat
ter away from the other. In his tes-
timony, Kamalu calls Monroe the "tall
negro as he did not know his name
and says he was being turned around
and showed of by the negro when the
blow was struck. He heard thud and
turned around to see Kaihue on the
ground. The "tall negro" he says car
ried the injured man to the sidewalk,
This was the substance of his testi-
mony. Deputy County Attorney Brown
and Deputy Coroner Rose conducting
the investigation with Glenn Quinn act

First News of Death.

A rather dramatic issue of the occa-
sion was the discovery that he did not
know that Kaihue was dead as the
first thing he asked after being taken
out was, "How is he's" and lis he
dead yet9' He did not remain long in
doubt, and the sudden knowledge that
the man he had struck had been dead
for two days fustered him little on
the stand

Plenty of Beer.


William Monroe, the negro who took
such prominent part in the affair, was
next called and he told a remarkably
straight story which was afterwards
corroborated in every particular by the
testimony of the other witnesses. It
undoubtedly had great deal to do with
the verdict returned.
He states that he had met Kaihue
early in the evening about nine clock
and had drunk several glasses of beer
in saloon. They left the saloon i'm
mediately afterwards and were about
thirty yards from the entrance when
they met several natives and sailor.
The sailor seems to have stayed with
the party during the entire evening
although he did not appear during the
time of the row.
This new party had several bottles
of beer with them and Kaihue brought
six bottles more. They went to Aala
Park to drink them and here the party
seems to have narrowed down to three
men and three women, one of the lat
ter being Kaihue s wife.
Kaihue left them and afterwards re-
turned and they then moved to the
other side of the park. Altogether,
Monroe said, they drank one and a half
dozen bottles of beer. The lady, said
the witness, referring to Kaihue s wife,
came under the influence of the liquor
and was carried home on the back of
Fanother lady" The police came
around and chased them out of the
park and they repaired to Kaihue s
rooms.
Then Kaihue stated that he had left
a plate and bottle in the park and
starte2 o go back after them. AS he
was af4nk, Monroe got up and went
! with him. At the head of the stairs
they met another man, Kamalu, who
was asked what he wanted by Kaihue.
Kamalu answered that ''you told me
to come here,' and the two began to
argue in Hawaiian. They went down
stairs and Kaihue started in to go for
the other and smaller of the two. Mon
roe SAYS he grabbed him but he broke
| away and in his second attempt to get
at Kamaiu was stopped by Larsen,
| struck, and knocked down.
Monroe described the details of the
| row between the haole and the native
| they agreeing as he told them, with
| those details already published and
with what Larsen afterwards said him
self. Larsen struck Kaihue with his
| left hand and after he was down, pick
| ed him up with one hand and placed
him on the sidewalk. The following
part of the testimony did not bear di-
reetly on the death of Kaihue, Monroe
stating that he called the next morn
ing and saw Kaihue sleeping on the
| bed with his wife beside him and was
| told by others in the next room that
the injured man was doing finely.
| The next witness called was Doctor
Mcdonald, who performed the autopsy
He made complete report of the con
ditiOn of Kaihue's body and his state.

Second Lieutenant Harold A. Miner,
U. s. A., received word on Tuesday
that he had been assigned to duty with
Battery E. 9Th Field Artillery, station
ed at Fort Leayenworth, Kansas, and
he will be required to report for duty
Sept. 18th. The Battery is now in
Wisconsin and about the LIST of Septem-
Der will begin an overland march to
Fort Leavenworth. This will bring
Lieut.. Miner into active service at
once as he will join the Battery en-
route. He is exceedingly fortunate in
being given so good an assignment as
conditions are nearly ideal at Fort
Leavenworth viewed from the point of
army service.

pendent Of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger the prediction made by Samuel
j. Tilden in 1877. It may be remem-
bered by a few people that when the
electoral commission had decided that
Rutherford B. Hayes had been elected
TO the presidency. Governor Tilden
went quietly to Europe for summer
sojourn, and left President Hayes to
make appointments and get along with
other vexations as best he could
When Governor Tilden returned in
September, an immense throng gath
cred in front Of his residence in Gram
ercy park to welcome him home. In
his speech, one of the best he ever made,
he did not touch on American politics,
but chose for his theme the, develop
ment of our commerce with Europe.
He had been greatly impressed with
what he had seen abroad, of the needs
of the people there, and he spoke with
special earnestness of what he regarded
as sure to be ultimately the greatest in
money value, in its wealth producing
qualities and in quantity of the Ameri-
can harvest-maize or Indian corn. He
said that there was no reason why,
within the course of few years the
United States should not raise a har-
vest of three billion bushels of corn,
and he ventured to predict that the
money value of harvest of that pro-
portions would be not far from $1,000
100000. He proceeded to describe in a
graphic manner the relation of such a
harvest to the prosperity of American
railways, as well as of the people gen.
eral throughout the country. Of
course he was laughed at, but even be-
fore he died he had the satisfaction of
knowing that the corn crop had in
creased by leaps and bounds. Now his
prediction has come true. The three
billions of bushels will be realized this
year, but the money value will be near
or two billion dollars than the one bill
ion, six hundred million, which he
predicted thirty-two years ago next
fall. And also, as he suggested, there
will be no idle cars for the railroads
when the great crop begins to move.

The Tariff Bill.

The Republican members of the tariff
conference committee finally agreed
upon bill late yesterday afternoon
and submitted the same to be the
Democratic members of the committee.
1t is expected that report will be
made to the House today and vote
taken tomorrow. The probabilities
are that several days will be taken in it's
consideration in the Senate. The bill
is reported as being generally satisfac-
tory to President Taft. It's passage is
almost a certainty within the next
week.

Death of Newton McBain

After being confined to the house
about two weeks, following poor health
for several years, Newton McBain died
at his home on Ball street, Tuesday
morning at II o'clock death resulting
from uraemic poisioing. Mr.. McBain
was naturally man of strong constitu-
ton and will power, both of which kept
him about when many a man in his
physical condition for a few years past
would have given up in despair. De-
spite his infirmities he kept about and
was a familiar figure around the city
until within the past month. Mr.. Nc
Balm was born in Wayne, Michigan,
May 10, 1888, and was married there
in Dec. %, 1862. He came to Owosso
in 1857 to engage in the clothing bust
ness, disposing of the same he was gone
for a short time when he returned and
entered the hardware business After
selling out he opened merchant tailor
ing business, adding clothing and line
of gents furnishings, in which he was
very successful for long term of years,
his genial nature, enterprising public
spirit and straightforward dealings
commanding large trade. During all
the years he was in business Mr.. Nc
Balm was prominent in every public
movement which tended to build up the
city, and in the several Masonic bodies.
His time and talent were always freely
given for the benefit of the community
and too often at his own expense. In
his political life he was an ardent and
active Republican, frequent delegate
to state and district conventions and a
great worker on behalf of his friends
never seeking Office for himself al
though he served as city clerk and in
other positions Of responsibility. In
1892, President Harrison honored him
with the appointment as postmaster,
serving four years in very acceptable
manner At the completion of his term
he again engaged in business but was
compelled to retire because of sickness.
He is survived by his wife, brother
Scott McBain, of Caro-, and sister,
Mrs. Clara Peru of this city. His
death also comes as great personal sor.
row to Walter Upham, who resided
with Mr.. and Mrs. McBain for years
and who had both been to him as
parents. The funeral services will be
held at the home this afternoon, Rev.
G. Ii. Hanks officiating.

A Veteran Correspondent.

Few among the thousand who enjoy
the youthful vim and enthusiasm of
Walter Wellman's special dispatches in
The Chicago Record Herald are aware
that with the present year Mr. Well
man will round out quarter of a CELL
fury as a Washington correspondent.
The Record Herald always has been
noted for the brilliance of it's special
correspondents, but Mr.. Wellmen's
career reaches far back of the consoli-
dation which gave the paper it's present
name.
Walter Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, in 1858. At the age of IA he be-
gan his newspaper experience by found
ing weekly paper in Sutton, Neb. In
the next dozen years he was laying the
foundations for the success Ct later
years. In 1884, when he was still a
young man of 20, he was trusted with
the responsible post of Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Herald, a
position which, through all his polar
quests and various changes in the pa.
per itself, he has held with undimin-
ished honor to the present day. In
that quarter of century he has won a
national reputation as magnetic and
for ceful writer, a shrewd political
prophet, genius at getting and a
daring explorer.
In 1892 Mr.. Wellman visited the
West Indies for his paper and located
the spot where Columbus landed, mark
ing it with stone monument. In 1894
he made his first dash for the pole.
reaching the latitude of 81 degrees
northeast of Spitzbergen. In 1898 he
tried it again penetrating as far as
Franz Josef Land and mapping many
islands that had never before been ex-
plored. Two years ago he made dar-
ing attempt to cross the arctic ice fields
in an airship. Mr.. Wellman has not
yet reached the pole, and perhaps he
never will, but he has given abundant
proof,of his courage and perseverance.
His chief laurels, however, have been
won by his years of splendid work as
Washington correspondent.

sountifuI Crops Make Outlook for
Business Good.

? from the great agricultural regions
of the west reports as to crops are very
encouraging, and hopes for another
profitable season to farmers are grad
ually approaching realization, says
Banker Henry Clews in his weekly re.
view of the business outlook. He adds:
''Tbe corn crop, the biggest factor in
our business outlook, is still improving,
and there has been no diminution /, in
the prospects of bumper yield at very
good profits. Even should prices fall
below those realized for the last crop,
as has been previously pointed out in
these advices it looks asif the farmers of
the United States will this year pro-
iuce somewhere about 50, 900, 900, 900 of
new wealth. This is a prodigious
amount and must have a very stimu-
latiDg effect upon commercial, indus
trial and financial affairs. Bankers in
the west are universally hopeful owing
to crop conditions. Merchants are not
carrying large supplies of goods, and
factories are obliged to steadily increase
their output. 1t is true that business
doeanot,yet equal in volume the record
attained before the panic and that
owing to initiation of values the actual
in business is often not as
large as appears. Nevertheless, i'm
provement is the order of the day and
she outlook for satisfactory fall and
winter trade in all parts of the country
Is exceptionally good, especially when
the tariff issue is closed which will be
st an early date"
