The Final
Rallies
Held Of the Campaign for
Prohibition.

Sunday afternoon last as had
been previously planned prohibi-
tionists from Pauwela, Haiku, Ma
kawao, Hamakuapoko, Paia, Puu-
meme, Kahului, Waikapu, Waihee,
Waiehu, Wailuku and other places
formed in line at the Wailuku depot
and marched in procession TO tire
Town Hall headed by the Wailuku
band, under Geo. B. Schrader,
where an open air meeting was held.
After prayer by Rev. Henry P.
Judge, Hon. H. P. Baldwin ad-
dressed the gathering in Hawaiian.
He related an interesting event OF
his early boyhood at Lahaina when
band of over 1000 people called
"Ka Puali Inuwai" paraded the
streets singing songs, and gathered
at Wainee Church where speeches
were made against the evils OF the
use of liquor.
Under the Kamehamehas from
the earliest times no liquor was al
lowed to be sold to Hawaiians until
1882, when the law was changed
under Kalakaua.
He stated from his experience on
the plantations that men who got
drunk could not be trusted. He said
vote for prohibition was a vote for
the home and the family as against
influences which break up the home.
He had taken the stand in favor OF
prohibition with his whole heart and
strength, and asked the women and
children to exert their influence on
the men to vote for prohibition
Mr.. VIM. White followed with re-
marks relative to the issues before
the people, telling how man can
get up enough dutch courage on
four drinks to attack lion and at
the same time forget all about the
needs of his family.
Rev. E. B. Turner spoke OF hero
ism. He was in New York when
the Windsor Hotel took fire, and
saw people jumping down to their
deaths from the tenth story win
dows. Inside of the burning build
ing was a crippled boy who ran
from door to door warning people
of the danger. He stuck to his post
of duty until he fell down an eleva-
tor and was burned to cinders. That
was heroism of the noblest type.
That was what the prohibitionists
are doing. Trying to save the peo-
pie from liquor evil. Even it we
lose day after tomorrow, we are on
ly getting our fighting blood up,
and are just beginning the cam
paign.
j. w. Kalua was the next speak
er. He said on one side stood the
wine, gin and whiskey, and on the
other the schools, homes and the
family. He wanted Wailuku to vote
itself dry.
He was the last speaker, and the
crowd variously estimated between
1900 and 2OOO dispersed to theil
homes.
That evening leaders of the
Japanese Y. M. c. A. held an oper
air meeting on Market street. The
speakers denounced the use of liquor
and asked the japanese to take sides
with the prohibitionists.
Monday night the ants held
big rally on Market street. The
Wailuku band was in attendance
and played in excellent form be
tween speeches.
The first speaker was Senator
Coelho, who made an eloquen
speech, but could not refrain iron
making slanderous attacks on one o
Maui's foremost citizen. He claim
ed the newspapers were misrepre
senting him, which was his excus'

tangle. She testified that she had deposited
$40 with him to secure a house for her &C.
cupancy, and that while deputies of the
court and she herself had made frequent
efforts to have the money refunded, upon
Plummers failure to secure the house he
failed to make good on the obligation,
Plummer bewildered the court with de-
Tense covering detailed conversations he
had had with the woman and with an ex-
PLANTATION that he had been unable to repay
the money she had given MIN.
"You are not fooling anybody" an
nounced the Judge when Plummer ap-
parently had finished his defense. Plum

Henry T. Clarke and Uncle Joe Redman,
two of the very oldest settlers now left in
Omaha, INDUCED in a reminiscent discus
sion this morning. The subject of the talk
was an article published In a St. Paul
paper last Saturday under the head, Forty
Years Ago Today"
The article said: Omaha offers a bonus
of $4,000 in lands and money to any one
putting up a $4,000 hotel"
Neither Clark or Redman can recall eX-
actly IL any one picked up the fat bonus,
and neither could they agree which hotel

Mr. Clarke did know that he went and
saw James B. Kitchen, then conducting a

Kitchen did not know whether a four
story tavern would pay in Omaha" said
Mr., Clarke, but after a while he came
and looked the ground over, and later the
Paxton hotel was built"
Yes, and Bill Paxton put the fifth story
on the building" said Uncle Joe.

something about the old RernGon house.
