By Police

There were no less than forty cases
on the Police Court calendar this
morning, but most of them were
gambling charges and quite number
were continued till July IA.
Sixteen Chinese, who were repre-.
scented by Attorney Douthitt, were re.
manded for trial as their lawyer is en-
gagged In another court and was un.
able to attend this morning.
More Gamblers.
Eight Chinese who were arrested by
Apana and his assistants for gambling
were discharged. as there was not, In
the judges opinion, enough evidence
to convict them. II appears that Apa-
ma visited the house where the game
was going on and saw the ali.
gamblers at work. He went outside
and gave the signal to the rest of the
police, but when they arrived the only
evidence of game was pile OF poker
chips. As there was no money In sight
the case fell through and the defend
ants were discharged.
Blind Pig Raided.
Sam Homano, n Hawaiian. was ar.
rested by License Inspector Fennell
yesterday, for selling liquor without
going to the trouble of obtaining the
necessary license to do so. It appears
that the inspector sent an informer
into Homano's place, which is located
on Waipilopilo lane near the Asylum,
to purchase wine, and on Fennel fol.
lowing up the spy he found him seated
at table drinking from one bottle and
holding another under his arm
Homano admitted that he had been
selling booze for some time and that
he kept the liquor In another house.
He Is alleged to have done SO In order
to evade that portion of the liquor law

dwellings without search warrant.
The case was continued till tomorrow.

Ninety Days For Assault.
There was a rough house down at
the Magoon Block last night. when a
Chinese named Chang Lin got his good
and hard from two Hawaiians named
kalilikane and Kalaniopili. From the
evidence II appears that the two ma.

created some disturbance and when
the Celestial went upstairs to invcsti

marked that the attorney for the pros
