JUDGE REVOKES
TWO SENTENCES

In the police court this morning Ho-
ite and Horio, two japanese, were
charged with fishing in the waters of
the harbOr with a throw-net contrary
to the law Their catch consisted of
papiopio or baby ulua.
Judge Monsarat fined them $l5 and
costs each and later on at the request
of Prosecuting Officer Brown, revoked
the sentences and fined them s. each.
Brown stated that the defendants
had put up so bail each and had
pleaded guilty on the understanding
that a fine of S. would be imposed,
He thought that the spirit Of the anti.
harbor-netung law was to prevent the
stretching of long nets across the har.
Dor to the interference with the pro
pellers of steamers. He didn't think
that the use of throw-net came with,
in the spirit and intent of the law

BRAY
Up AGAINST It

H. J. Bray, the white-haired old gen.
tleman who peddles soap and cheap
iewelry round town, and who has come
to be regarded as one of Honolulus
characters, was charged in the police
court this morning with peddlng
without having first taken out $50
license.
Defendant said that he had never
been able to get together so much
money.
Prosecuting officer Brown asked for
heavy penalty, stating that, in JUS
tice to and in protection of those who
paid their licenses, defendant should
either be compelled to take out a Ii
cense or pay the penalty,
Attorney Straus stated that he rep
resented the defendant out of charity
and that it was case either of his
client being allowed to peddle or be-
coming a public charge.
He has done his best to make a liv-
ing" said Straus, rather than appeal
to the Associated Charities. He is too
old for hard work and he is too much
Of an American to accept the charity
Of others. If he isn't allowed to make
his living as he has been doing the
town will have to take care of him
The case was continued, bail being
fixed at the large sum of $50.
Straus asked for a reduction of bail
to S25 but in vain. Bray was released
for twenty-four hours, however, in or
der to enable him to raise the bail
money

GERMAN STEAMER DISTRESSED
THROUGH BAD COAL IN BUNKERS

The German steamer Wotau bound
from Eureka to Fremantlc, West Aus
tralia, via Newcastle, \. S W., ere.
ated 4 little interest this morning by
appearing off port, when she was not
expected. She is here to replenish
her coal bunkers and her fater tanks
When she was o. port this morn
ing, it was thought that she wished
merely to be reported all well, but
she hung around, and the pilot went
out. He learned that she had a bad
lot of coal, and that it was totally
unsuitable for steaming purposes. The
master of the WOtan-Captain LOREN
zen-wanted to come in and get a
fresh supply, so pilot Lorenzen
brought her up and Derthed at the
Aiakea wharf, where she will take on
the necessary coal and water.
The situation is apparently a pecu-
liar one, but, with that usual secretive-
ness affected by sailors, nothing much
would be said The skipper pointed
to the coal bunkers with contempt
and said something about the quality
of the coal. There looked to be no
quality at all to the coal, for il seem,
ed to be a small admiXture of coal
with a large amount of coal dust and
dirt Whether they will pull this stuff
out and put the fresh in its place, or
whether they have room for the new
coal, was not plain, and no one on
board would say. Judging by re.
mark that matters had to be settled
first, it would seem that there will
be a claim on the suppliers of the
material, and that this will have to
be kept as evidence.
The Wotan is what is called a tm-
ret deck ship. She is about as grace,
ful as a huge box, and looks more like
a patent slip with a funnel and a lot
of superstructme She has on her
sides a large cargo of redwood and
pine for Fremantle Her holds, too
are stacked with this wood, making
about three million feet altogether
Her speed is not at all phenomenal
From Eureka to Honolulu she took
sixteen days, and even with few days
of rough weather, which she encount,
cred shortly after leaving port, this
is long trip.
Everything was all right on board

PEARL HARBOR
DRyD0CK WORK

Work on the drydock at Pearl Har-
Dor is proceeding at a great rate, and
Lieutenant Gayler, who is closely con
nected with it, is looking forward to
the completion of the first section by
the end of this week
He said this morning that he con.
tidently expected that the work Of
pouring the concrete on to the bot
tom of the first section would be fin
ished by the end of this week As
soon as this is all through, another at
tempt will be made to pump the water
out. This, of course, will be done very
slowly and watched closely. When
the water is out, the bottom will lie
exposed for about three weeks in or
der that the concrete may harden
properly After that there will be an
other layer of concrete poured on tc
the present bottom, which is composed
of piles and concrete.
He feels certain that the work viii
be satisfactory this time, and there
will be no hitch to mar the completion

she will leave, of course, can not yet
be said, but she will take her depart
ure as soon as possible. There are
about three hundred tons of coal to
be shipped but how soon this can be

From here she will go to Newcastle.

ceed to Fremantle, West Australia, to

long after the MaKura has got there.

Chairman Walter Dillingham;, Frank e.

that further furlough for the soldiers
was impossible to Obtain.
The committee, however, decided to
make a gallant attempt to retain the

who could not be replaced except by
green men. A deputation will call on

MYSTERY SHIP

Buffalo is a mystery ship to many
waterfronters Officially she left early
this morning for Shanghai with re
liefs for the Asiatic squadron, but
some Of those along the front were
told that she headed back to San Fran,
cisco, because she took the Mookai
channel, instead Of proceeding toward
Kauai.
That the Buffalo has gone to Shang
hal is the official information, and no
doubt the captain has gone around the
island, prcferring that way to going
near Kauai There is nothing ultsrioG

Two years Imprisonment is the
punishment meted out to Denis III.
Keoho, the postoffice clerk who
proved unfaithful to the trust placed
in him by the government and the
people and appropriated to his own
use money that passed through the
Honolulu office.
Keoho appeared before Judge Glenn
ons this morning and confessed MS
guilt, stating, through his lawyer,
Frank Thompson, that he had stolen
one hundred dollars. Deputy United
States District Attorney c. c. Biting
represented the government and
asked that a sentence commensurate
with the gravity of the crime be i'm
posed. Frank Thompson made plea
for judicial clemency. He stated that
there are two kinds of criminals; the
kind that commit crime for the sake
of the crime itself and the kind that
is merely lacking in moral fiber sutfi-
cient to withstand temptation. lie
contended that Keoho belongs to the
latter class.
The man, he said, had been in the
postoffice for six years, and up to the
time of his recent peculations had
borne an excellent record for faithful
and loyal service. But he belonged to
race that is too often lacking in
strength of character to withstand
temptation. He was not bad but only

the office staff in future.
J. r. Gait spoke about the work that
the committee is doing, saying that the
property owners should be made to
pay for it, after the first cleaning.
There was an informal discussion
about the best means of bringing
about that desirable state of affairs
when the public would not have to pay
for the cleaning of the premises Of
wealthy corporations and private indi-
viduals.
Finally it was decided that the mos
quito committee call on Governor
Frear and ask that the attorney gen
eral be also present at conference
at which the points of law involved
would be discussed.
Frank Thompson reported to the
meeting that he had arranged for a

of intelligence, and when temptation
came his way he fell. Besides, there
were extenuating circumstances. The
man had three children, and also his
mother-in-aw and the son of one of
his brothers was living with him and
being supported by him. Keoho
found that he could not support them
all on his meager salary of 500 a
month, so he fell to the temptation
to take money that was not his own.
Thompson asked that a light sentence
be imposed in view of all the circum-
stances.

minutes he turned the pages of law
books, thought deeply, and meantime
