Judge Andrade stated that he would

after they had investigated, if they
found there was any cause to believe
that there might be ground for any

Taylor, who some time since resumed
his duties as reporter on the Adver-
tiser and is also a special officer were
this morning handed theirs to the tune
of the fine above mentioned.
Taylor took the stand and told a
clear story of his discovery of the
underground den of Vida and the rest
of the gang. There was absolutely
nothing to shake his evidence; there
was little or no attempt at defense.
In brief, Taylor heard of the place and
went there, entering through a spe-
cially arranged back door which is
usually guarded; but he surprised the
guard and made his way to the Gel
lar, worming his way into the sub
terranean haunt of inquity with con-
siderable difficulty and discomfort, for
the dive was something after the pat
tern of rat hole the sequestered
vault of beings who care not to court
the light of day in their nefarious
practices.

had swollen badly, Taylor had the mis-
fortune to be grabbed by the afflicted
member in the claw of the chief guar
dian of the kitty-box For this rea-
son, overcome with pain, Taylor let
Willie keep his buncn of quarters.
After taking in the situation, Taylor
went to the Advertiser office and got
fellow reporter, Harvey Elder, to re-
turn with him to the Robbers Cave

vanished and all signs of gambling
had been removed.

Negoro, Maxine, Soga and Tasaka,

conspiracy in the third degree, will ap-
pear before Judge De Bolt for SEN
tence at nine o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
While they may receive the maxi
mum term of Imprisonment, which is
one year for that offense, there will
be no hard labor in the sentence. AS
stated elsewhere, the offense is mis-
demeanor and since the Constitution
of the United States became of eff
feet in this Territory, it has been
and is unlawful to punish misdeme-
anant with hard labor. Even il the
Higher Wage Big Four be fined-as
they may be up to $400 each besides
receiving a Jail sentence-and failing
to pay their fines have to serve addi-
tional fine therefor, the fact would
not make them punishable for felony
as the additional time In such a case
is purely conditional on default and
rot part of the original sentence of
Imprisonment The four convicted de-
PENDANTS will therefore serve whatever
time may be given 10 them in Homo
lulu Jail and not in Oahu Prison, the
Territorial penitentiary. It will be op-
tional with them whether they take

ALMOST
MUROER
HALF YEARS PRISON FOR MAN
WHO OPENED HIS WOMAN'S
HEAD.

Bandaged to the extent of hiding the
crowning glory of her almost raven
tresses, Keala, woman and Hawaiian,
smiled over the bar of justice into the
face of Police Judge Andrade this
morning and said she had been so
drunk that she could not say whether
or not her sweetheart had opened her
skull with the jagged edge of the
rusty top of a broken charcoal iron.
Phillip Aka, big-headed and sullen,
however, dropped his sullenness long
enough to plead guilty to the charge
of assault and battery on the woman.
Phillip had, perhaps, been drinking,
also, but the cut he gave his wife was
a wicked one He had thrown the
aforementioned fearful weapon at her
head, as she lay stretched
under the fumes of booze.
The blood ran almost as freely as
had the booze and she was hustled,
yesterday, to the hospital, where for
while it was thought she might ad-
journ to the realm where it is said
love matches are originally made,
Phillip Aka, whether he loves his
wife or not, is best in Jail, 1t wasn't
his fault that he didn't kill her.
Judge Andrade diagnosed the case
like an expert and sent the male spe-
cimen to Jail for six months, where
charcoal irons are not part of the daily
paraphernalia and where helpless
drunken women are not lying eassy to
the air of disordered manhood"

reformed, he had taken his wife out
OF life of evil and he was working

his job itself would be a severe pen
atty Also there was another indict-
ment pending against him and the
woman, which could be KEEP. hanging
over his head for one or two terms OF
court. He would not ask even for the
length of term stated, only that the
man had been a member of the Ten
Dollar Club.
Judge Woodruff thought It a pity.
in the circumstances, to deprive re-
formed man of his Job He sentenced
him to one hours imprisonment and
payment of costs.
The other case was continued to the
October term, when. if Nakano keeps
on his good behavior, there will be
another continuance tot he April term.
Then, the good behavior continuing,
the case will be dismissed.
Nakano forthwith served his hour
in prison and paid $43.45 casts, so
that now he is a free man.
