LIQUOR COMMISSIONERS OF
THE BIG ISLAND ARE HOLDING
THE LID DOWN VERY TIGHT

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
HILO, Hawaii, June 29.-For
month from today there can be no
liquor of any kind bought in the dis
trict of Kau, save from blind pigs, Of
which it is said there are plenty, how
ever, to supply all demand, though
that district has been somewhat
cleaned up through the combined Of
forts of Manager Ogg and Sheriff
Pua. At the meeting of the Liquor
Commissioners yesterday the license
of the Kau Wine Company, a branch
of w. c. Peacock & Co., was held up
till the next meeting of the board,
July %. This was done on account
of practically unsupported affidavits,
which told of men being seen go into
the store sober and come out drunk.
According to the local report, the
trouble is simply another chapter of
the rows between Manager Wolters,
vi NdlSuu, anu the luOllpSOH DtlIlC-
ment Association 1t now appears
that every bit of trouble which occurs
in that district is charged to this ac-
count, and there seems to be a good
deal of truth in the reports of I'M
reasonableness on at least one side.
At the meeting of the board a year
ago the license of one Aki, at Nalehu.
was revoked upon Manager VOTERS
complaint, he stating that no saloon
in that vicinity was desired. At the
present meeting an application for
license for L. Chong, an employee OF
the Hutchinson plantation, endorsed
by VOTERS, was presented. This was
promptly followed by protest
against Chong from DR.. L. S. Thomp-
son and a great many of the Kau
voters.
It appears that Manager Dawson,
of the Kau Wine Company has too
many friends in the Thompson camp,
according to local reports, and that
3 Wolters, for this reason, started the
fight on him. The stories to this
effect come from outside the meeting
and the bitterness is very deep. Ned
Austin, the local agent for Peacock
& Co., states that the signers of the
affidavits will be prosecuted for per-
jury and that they are untrue in
every way. One of them, it is under
stood, tells of drunkenness in a man
who has been away from Kau for
over a year.
In the city of Hilo conditions re-
main practically unchanged, the only
additional license being one for the
brewing of saki by a Japanese named

ARMY AND NAVY

With the reorganization of the de
partmental branches of the United
States army that goes into effect to-
day, July /, there is rather a com
plete shifting about at the headquar
ters of the Department of California,
located at the Chronicle building, San
Francisco.
Honolulu's military forces are
district of this department, or, as will
hereafter be designated, part of the
Western division, being one of the
three large military divisions into
which the United States has been
classed in order to try out this new
formation scheme, and for the sake
of economy, not only economy in dol
lars and cents but in the matter of
officers. By obliterating many de-
partmcnts throughout the homeland,
thereby detaching many army officers
from desk details, the chief of staff
of the United States army thinks the
. uulllDtI Vi dNdlldDlG Olllttlb III Inv
and active regimental field work will
/ be increased. This is desirable
end to be attained, for battalions
and companies good services arc
often crippled for the scarcity of line
officers on duty with the troops.
General Tasker H. Bliss, who has
been in command of the Department
of California for about year, since
Major General Thomas II. Barry re
linquished his hold to take station
at West Point, will be stationed a

Machida. Jack Payne, who wanted
to start a new saloon at the junction
Of Bridge street, Richardson street
and the Volcano road, was turned
down cold. The license of Manuel
de Santos, at Wailea, Hilo, was
changed from a retail license to a
wholesale license.
Trouble in Kona.
In Kona there was plenty of trou-
BILE. The biggest fight came as the
result of the protests against John
De Mello at Keokea, South Kona.
Commissioners Ogg and Moir stated
that on recent trip they had seen
two Hawaiians reel out of his place
at nine o'clock in the morning and
Moir said that he would refuse this
license on account of the dirty way
in which the place was kept, if for
no other reason. De Mello showed
considerable bitterness at Manager
Daniels of the Kona Tobacco Com
pany, who was shown by an affidavit
to have made the statement that his
employees could get their liquor
through him if De Mello was closed.
A number of orders, something over
twenty in fact, signed by Daniels and
mostly for zone bottle of gin" were
also introduced to show that the to-
bacco man had no objection to liquor
himself, though against it for his EN-
ployes. De Mello had no chance for
a license, however, as the result Of
what the commissioners themselves
had seen.
The following new applications
were refused by the board: John J.
Andrade, Paauhau; L. Chong, Male
hu; Gentaro Inaba, Holualoa; John
Payne, Hilo; Matsutaro Suenaga, Ho-
lualoa; All Lap, Kailua.

A Wall from Kauai.


Garden Island: The citizens of this
island at the present moment are very
much interested in the fate of the APP
preparation passed by the legislature
for wharf at Hanalei.
For a number of sessions an appro-
priation, or bill, has been under con-
sideration for the purpose of erecting
a wharf at this famous beach, but not
withstanding the reputation of our
Kauai legislators and their ability to
edo things" until the last session they
were certainly done" out of landing
the means to provide for its construc-
ton.
Within the last two years the neces-
sity for this wharf has become even
more apparent and urgent. All former
objections to it's construction having
been met, it was hoped that by provid.
ing for its erection out of the general
appropriation bill, next winter would
find Hanalei with its long overdue
wharf.
Recently the reports that have come
from the capitol by word of mouth
and newspapers, in reference to many
public questions, are of such a nature
as to cause us Garden Islanders tC
drop our hoes long enough to lister
for not only the buzz of the Mediter
ranean fly, but with ears to the
ground to get line on whittier the
course of empire is tending.
We are told that our high officials
are contemplating an attempt t.
thwart the will of the people as eX
pressed by their representatives il

il Clined to doubt the existence of any
grounds to warrant even the intima-
ton of such "goings on" at time in
this political age when the primary
law, the initiative, referendum and re-
call are menacing the downfall of any
one or anything which is no: "of the
people, by the people, and for the peo-
rle,"
Just when we expected 70 hear Of

up the Hanalei wharf while he was

the fishing pole he manipulated SO
adroitly the last session of our legisla

He told the Frisco papers that he
was the "right-hand man of the gov

KING GEORGE IS TO VISIT
INDIA AND WILL BE FIRST
BRITISH MONARCH TO Do So

the proceedings of a great durbar
such as that which will assemble -
hail the king-emperor will extend
over some days, the earlier dates be-
ing given up to the ceremonious ar
rival in camp of the various native
rulers. Day after day is marked by
some great procession leading up to
the final elimination, the proclama.
ton and homage.
Gorgeous Display of Oriental PomP.
The fact that in December of this
year the king-emperor will himself
be present may be expected to slim
ulate the Indian princes to an excep-
tionally gorgeous display of oriental
pomp. That pride of state which is
known in Europe and makes the
poor Italian aristocrat submit to
semi-starvation in order to spare the
money to be able to appear in a car
riage in the streets reaches to the
point almost of a mania among east
ern peoples. If allowed to do so
some of the Indian princes would
beggar themselves completely so that
they should make a proud display
for a durbar, and there have been
representations as to the economic
loss caused by previous grand dur.
bars.
But the government of India now
exercises, as far as it can, a check
on useless extravaganza of that de.
scription and there will be no en-.
couragement to pomp of a ruinous
nature this year.
But the resources of display in In
dia are vast. 1t is the worlds great
est repository of jewels, of gems, oil
ornate fabrics. 1t is only necessary
that the good will of the native digni
taries of the Indian empire should
be evoked to make the 1911 durbar
though without any display, of vile
extravaganza, the greatest spectacle
modern man has SEEN That gooc
will will, without doubt, respond t.
the announcement of the king-em
peror's personal presence.
Center of Interest for Days.

LONDON, June 10.-Scarcely will
the pageants surrounding the crown
ig of their majesties and the investi-
ture of the Prince of Wales in the
mother country be finished before
attention will be turned to the Delhi
durbar, at which emperor and en-
press will in person receive the hom-
age of their Indian subjects and feud
atory princes. For the first time in
history a reigning King of England
will visit his Indian empire, and
the ceremonial with which he will
be greeted is expected to transcend
in magnificence any previously seen
in a land where expression of the
pomp and state of rulers has reached
the highest pitch of artistry.
The name of India has been asso-
ciated with all that is ornate and
grandiose since the dawn of civilized
history. For centuries, stretching
back to a time before the Christian
era, the western world has heard,
often with incredulous amazement, Of
her towers of ivory and of gold, Of
stately elephants bearing turrets on
their backs to enshrine the pride of
naughty princes, of thrones built up
of precious stones, of fabrics light as
air, brilliant as the sunshine.
Ceremonies at Delhi.
Delhi, where the grand moguls
once held their court, will be the
scene of this years coronation dur
bar, as it was of the two previous
ones incidental to the proclamation
of Queen Victoria as Empress OF
India and of King Edward as emper,
or. At neither of those durbars was
the monarch present in person. The
homage of the Indian subject, the
tribute of the native rulers under
British suzerainty, was received by
deputy. King George, resolved &C
show his interest in all parts of the
empire, has determined to attend this
durbar, and himself meet his Indian
people. It will be unique event II
the history of Hindustan, this visit
for the first time, of the ruler whose
sway is over the whole of India
stretching far beyond the dominion'
of any of the moguls.
A "durbar" is a ceremonial gather
ing. In proportion as the greatness
of the occasion demands, a durba
assumes the trappings of magnifi
cence. In a country such as Indi;
it is essential that the durbar hell
for a grand event should be sum
moned with the strictest attention t.
all formalities and that the chief
taking part in it should be receives
with the proper ritual. Consequently
