1t is understood that all the bailiffs

The court stenographers will have their
salaries cut from $l75 to $3.50 month.
According to the statement made by
the Governor, it is probable that these
changes will go into effect in the near

of bananas He showed clearly that by
direct shipment this fruit might be i'm

entailed by bringing bananas all the
way from Central America, by long wa

by rail. "No one has ever made n

to the difldence with which they are

evening by jumping from an electric

came to her death from fracture of

in motion on King street between Nuu-

Conductor Peterman testified that
the push button bell did not ring until
after the car had passed the Waikiki
corner of Smith street, en- route to
Nuuanu avenue. Just then the car in
creased its speed and at this time the
deceased stepped off the car. The con-

get out of the car, but saw her as she
was preparing to jump.
Conductor Peterman said he was well
acquainted with the habits of Oriental

were patient and waited until the cars
stopped. On the other hand the Jap

he did not see her step off or out of

simple lovers or pre-matrimonial

that score isn't very liberal. 1t
dictates that any development like
a noise, roughhouse, jamboree, or
in fact anything that disturbs the
peace and dignity of community
is disorderly conduct-especially
when it's after 2 o'clock in the
morning.
Heinie says he was going to
marry Mable about today or to-
morrow. presumably not before to-
morrow, now. as he will be pretty
much occupied in police court this
afternoon. They had a quarrel
