ACTION TAKEN
ON LICENSES

The board of license commission
ers met today.
Present we're Messrs. Willard
Brown, Craig, Sorenson, Long ana
Fennell.
The wholesale licenses of Kwong
Chung Lung, Wing Wo Tai and Ka-
jima were renewed, the two former
being severely warned not to handle
underproof spirits again.
Murikama was given a license for
a restaurant on Hotel street.
K Ono was permitted to dispose Of
half a share in the Banzai saloon,
on Hotel street, to his manager.
It was decided that the fifth-class
license of the Honolulu Brewing =
Mating Company, permitting the con-
Germ to sell for a period of ten years
in quantities of not less than five
gallons in bulk intoxicating liquors
other than wine manufactured in the
territory by the licensees, was void.

The case of D. H. Lewis, manager
of Lovejoy e Co., came up before
the board of license commissioners at
noon and two and half hour hear.
ing took place. A discrepancy in the
firms supply of compound booze
caused the trouble.
Attorney Peters, for Lewis, said
that there were only foTty-two gal
Ions to account for, and declared il
little short of an outrage that a re
spectacle business man should be
brought before the board to answer
for an offense alleged to have been
committed year ago. 1t was un
reasonable, said he, to suppose that
a man with a business of 100000 a
year would jeopardize his license by
selling a paltry quantity of com
pound.
Lewis stuck to his argument that il
was a mistake on the part of Fennel
and declared that he had never sold
any compound, since to do so became
illegal.
The board after an executive ses
sion decided to allow renewal of the
LOvejoy license.

Capt. Gonzales Injured.

Greenville, S. c., July 21.-W. T..
Gonzales, editor of the State, news
paper, who was injured in an auto
wreck near Fountain Inn this morn
ing, was brought to the Greenville
Infirniary about noon, where his ply
sioian, DR.. C. B. Earle, said tonight,
after thorough examination, there
are no injuries besides a confusion
on the back of the head and a slight
wound in the back, and that Mr..
Gonzales will be out in few days.
Mr.. Gonzales was en- route TO
Asheyille and when the driver OF his
car saw a number of wires hanging
across the road where telephone men
were at work, though out of sight OF
the chauffeur, he threw the emergen-
cy brake on the machine and the car
swerved to one side of the road, a
tire exploded, and the car turned tur:-
tie, pinning Mr.. Gonzales and the
driver underneath. They managed to
extricate themselves, however, the
driver being given attention at Foun-
tain Inn and Mr.. Gonzales being
brought to Greenville.

Lightning Saves a Mans Life.

Spartanburg, July 22.-From
Greer comes a weird story. OF all
the curious pranks played by light
ming none perhaps, surpasses in od-
dity the effect of thunderbolt which
fell in that city. Instead of killing,
it saved a mans life.
While cleaning machinery in the
carding room of the Greer Manu-
featuring company, William Hefner
was caught in a whirling belt. His
left arm was crushed to a pulp and
he sustained severe injuries on his
head and scalp.
Witnesses of the accident rushed
to stop the machinery, but they
would not have been in time to save
the mans life. At that time, how
ever, an electrical storm was raging
outside. Lightning struck near the
mill and presumably put the dyna-
mo out of commission, for the ma
chinery suddenly stopped and Heff-
ner was saved.

The, sympathy Of large circle OF
friends goes out to Col. E. H. Aull,
Oeditor of the Newberry Herald and
News, in the death of his wife, which
occurred at their home in Newberry
last Friday morning, after an illness
of three weeks with typhoid fever.
Mrs. Aull was an ideal wife and
mother, and her devotion to her hus-
band and family was beautiful ex-
ample. For years she had attended
the meetings of the State Press AS
seciation, of which Col. Aull was
president, and she was exceedingly
popular with all the members and
their families. Many hearts will sor-
row because of her death, and the
,bereaved husband and family have
the sincere sympathy Of the news
paper fraternity.

The Herald is glad to commend the
stand taken by the governor in the
matter of organizing high school stu
dents into military companies and
equipping them with Krag-Jorgenson
rifles. 1t is a wrong idea, and we
heartily agree with the governor
when he says: 81 do not believe in
educating every boy that he has to
shoot somebody" and his other
ground of opposition to the scheme
is well-founded, that being that he
is opposed to arming negro school
children with rifles and ammunition
We do not want nor need negro SOL
diers- presence even in the
regular army is a constant menace
TO any community where they are
aocated, and we would no doubt soon
have lot of trouble here if the
young negroes who go to school were
armed and drilled. The governor is
exactly right in this matter, and We
are glad to commend him.,

Kills Three and Himself.

La Grange, Ca, July 22.-Charlle
Reese, a negro, killed three other ne
groes, wounded another and a white
man, and committed suicide during
last night near Big Springs, Ca, ten
miles from here. Word was brought
to this place this morning that Reese
suddenly went insane, probably from
liquor.
Reese came to La Grange late yes
terday evening to see his wife, from
whom he had been separated. He per-
suaded her to go with him to Big
Springs. Her body was found to-day
by the roadside From appearances
she had been kicked to death.
Reese then went to the home OF
Jesse Bray, a negro, and borrowed a
shotgun, ostensibly for the purpose
of protecting his chicken yard. He
Immediately shot and killed Bray.
He met Hall Smith on the road and
promptly killed him and snot Smltn s
sister, who is expected to die.
Reese then went to- the home. OF
James Handy, a white farmer, and
put a load of small shot into his face.
Handy probably will live, but it is
thought he will be blind. A baby he
had in his arms was not injured. The
negro then departed and his body was
found this morning in a swamp. He
had shot himself.

KILLS CLERK, GRABS GEMS.
Murder and Robbery Committed in
View of Many New Workers.

New York, July 22.-Three alleged
thieves invaded the heart of the
"Tenderloin" district in its gayest
hour tonight, smashed Sixth ave-
nue. jewelry window, shot a clerk,
grabbed $4,000 worth of diamond
rings and got away in an automobile,
pursued by scores of persons who had
witnessed the murder and robbery.
A woman, who, the police believe,
was a confederate, entered the store
of Jacob Jacoby a few minutes prior
to the shooting and asked Mr.. ia
coby to test her eyes for glasses.
While she engaged him, the window
glass was smashed and Adolph Stern,
a clerk, rushed to the street. An un-
dersized man with a revolver blocked
him at the door. Stern tried to
brush past him to get at a man who
had poked his hand through the
broken window and grasped a tray
of diamond rings. The undersized
man shot twice and Stern fell.
"My God, I'm shot," he cried. A
moment later he was dead.
Passersby saw the man at the win
dow withdraw the tray of rings, tuck
it under his coat and dart across the
street. He disappeared through the
open door of red touring car. The
engine coughed and the machine was
gone, with half a hundred men pur-
suing. These soon were outdistanc-
ed, but not until the first three num-
bers of the machines number had
been caught. They were 532. The
murderer fired a wild shot at Jacoby,
eluded him and escaped.
Detectives took up the trail within
a few minutes. and, armed with de-
