.L|DE REPORTS ON
 NEW LIGHT RATES Average Reduction to City
 About IF Per Cent GOES INTO DETAILS He Writes Letter to Commissioner Weatherly Showing Reductions
 Will Apply to 92 Per Cent
 of the Citizens

Martin J. Lde, consulting engineer Of Birmingham at the request of the city, through Commissioner James Weatherly has completed a technical and exhaustive examination into the rate changes offered the city by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. One report goes into the situation thoroughly while the second letter of MT. Lide goes into details on specific proposition.
 The expert says that the rate reduction will affect 92 per cent of the consumers of the city to the extent of about 26 per cent. His examination discloses that average reduction for the city at large would be between 15 per cent and 20 per cent, probably about IT per cent.
 The two letters of MT. Lide are here given:

Blind Pigs on wheels.

One member stated that it seemed to
him as though the hackman made
good business out of peddling for the
blind pigs. He might have got it from
the Rosa house and made a mistake
about the date. The man seemed to
make business of not carrying pas
sengers but booze. There were lot
of men in the KakaahO district in the
same business. He gave it as his opin-
ion that if they watched the hackman
all the time they would find half the
booze joints.
The hackman was dismissed at this
stage, and Fennell started to 90 through
tie books of the Rosa house. He had
certain memoranda, and he asked Mr..
Rosa to turn up dates TO show whether
tie records were being kept as pre-
scribed by law. Some of the records did
not agree with the information in the
hands of Fennell. This was explained
by the fact that there might have been
mistake in the number Of the house,
as it would be noticed that the houses
were close together. Mr.. Rosa said he
could not say much about it. because
he did not know, but he could get the
driver who made the delivery TO tell
the commissioners what he knew.
There were other discrepancies be-
tween the books and the memoranda,

COOPER lENIENT
ONNEW GAMBLERS
But Professionals Must Look for
Maximum Sentence in
His Court.

"Thc prosecuting officers wished the
fine of ESQ to stand in the case OF All
Sing who was sentenced to pay this
amount in the lower court, but as this
was his first ofIense thought it too
much, said Judge Henry Copper yes
terdRy in discussing case in which a
gambler, convicted in the district court,
pleaded guilty on his appeal and had
his fine cut in two.
81 believe that all should be treated
alike, be continued and thSe was
NO evidence to show that this man had
ever been the proprietor of game or
had been convicted before the present
time. "
Speaking further Judge Cooper stat
ed that as the other members of the
gambling party were sentenced to pay
but seven and one-half dollars in fines,
this fine so much higher in the case of
All Sing looked out of proportion, al
though All Sing was dealing in the
game when the police raided it.
"When l know a man to be con-
frmed gambler, or when he is the pro-
prietor of a gambling place and runs
such to fleece the public, then he will
get the maximum sentence before me
if he is proven guilty as charged.
"In the case of All Sing it appeared
that he was the dealer in the game
at the time the police raided it, but
as he has never been before the court
of a gambling charge l do not think
he should be given sentence of 500.
"There is gambling going on in
many places besides among the orien-
tails in the city l believe, and when a
crowd of them get together for a
friendly game ! do not think that they
should be given the maximum sentence
if found out by the police said the
Judge.
The point the judge wishes to make,
in his dealing with the gamblers who
come before him, is that of protecting
the public.
In case notorious gambler who has
been convicted on previous occasions,
and who runs games to get money away
from his countrymen comes up and is
found guilty, he win be given the maxi
mum sentence.
On the other hand, should gamblers
be arrested who have never appeared
in court before, and who are having
only a friendly game among members
of their own race, then they will be
dealt with accordingly.

ROAD COMMITTEE
ARRANGES DEAL
Matter Of Road Over Lucas Prop
erty Up at Next Meeting Of
Supervisors.

AZ the next meeting Of the board q
supervisors /, lie expected that by vote
Of the board tao matter Of settling for
the road at Kaimuki, which crosses
thrive lots owned by Jack Lucas, will
be arranged TO the satisfaction Of the
owner.
IL appears that in ordor to get an
outlet into Diamond Head avenue one
street which came to an abrupt stop
was continued over tho land owned by
Lucas, and traffic has been travelling
across this private property for a eou-
pie of years.
Only recently Lucas appeared before
the city fathers in council assembled
and told them in no measured terms
that he wanted something done about
settling for this land which had been
appropriated, and that unless ho did re-
ceive some guarantee of CHS being
done in the near future he would
build fence across the street in ques
ton.
Got No Reply.
He stated at that time that he had
taken the matter up with various mem
bers of tine board at different times
and that two months previously he had
written letter to the board stating
his position, and the board had never
even answered his communication.
The board assured Mr.. Lucas at that
meeting that the matter would be tax
en- up immed ately and something done
about 1T.
Committee Inspected.
During the past week the members
Of the road committee ana City En-
gineer Gere went ont to Waikiki to
look the road over, and decide what
could be done.
These officials had a conference with
Major TimberlalSe, commanding at
Fort Ruger, in regard to having the
road pass over some government land
in place of going over that Of Lucas,
but the military officer was we'll salts
fed with the road as it was and did
not care for it on the reservation.
In this extremity the party looked
over the surrounding property and
found some public land owned BY the
territory near the disputed roadway.
VIII Make Exchange.
It was found that this could be OBJ
tanned and was offered to Mr.. Lucas
for his three lots which the road has
usurped, to which change he was agree
able
The land which Lucas will obtain is
understood to be part Of the former
military reservation, and is part of a
strip which was given back to the Ter
ritory by the United States govern
ment.

Upon the eve of the trial of
the MeNamaras and almost just
a year after the blowing up of

Mrs. Harvey Elder have fled suit
against Gen. H. G. Otis and the

for $4,000 damages on account
Of the death Of Elder, who was
assistant city editor Of the Times

jumped from a window, dying a

Bashful Family Trade.

r. j. Buchly stepped forward and
addressed the commissioners. He said
that he would like to see regulation
No. IA amended. At present it read
that all wholesalers must keep record
of all their sales. He would like to
have it altered to read that all licensees,
wholesale and retail, should not have to
keep a record Of anything under six
bottle Of beer, three bottles of liquor
and one gallon of wine. This, he
thought, would be satisfactory. The
wholesalers who did family business,
had people buying just one bottle, and
it was little annoying to have TO ask
the people their names. The record was
made so that the inspector could keep
check on where the liquor was going
in order to see whether the blind pigs
were buying wholesale.
In response to question from the
commissioners, he stated that he merely
represented Peacock 4 Co., as he had
not had an opportunity to speak to the
cher people about it,
The commissioners announced that
they would take il mp, aud would let
Mr.. Ruclley know the result of their
deliberations.

toned. He saw the haekman pass the
store with a five-gallon demiiohn on
.Tulv %. He did not know where he
obtained it, but it was not from the
Rosa house
Mr.. Rosa spoke up and said that the
hickman had been seen nearly every
day lately with five or ten-gallon
demijohn in his hack.
Where do you get the wine from,
Johni' he was asked
He replied that he got it from the
Rosa house once or twice a week.
Rosa replied that the man was not
telling the truth. He added that the
hackman had not been in his place since
the middle of July. Yesterday after
noon he saw the driver with FIVE gal
Ion demijohn in his hack
On being asked what he did with the
wine, Haiola replied that he took it to
woman in Kakaako. He bought it
sometimes once, sometimes twice and
as often as three times week.
"Why did you stop buying it from
Rosa ~ the commissioners asked.
Because he did not give me full
demiiohns," was the reply, amid the
laughter of the board.
The wine that he had that day, he
said, was procured from the Chinese
shop Mt the corner of Hotel and Mauna-
kea streets
Mr.. Rosa stated that he had not

could only see a few hundred feet

much Of the imperial domain which
was hidden behind the clouds, bat he
felt considerable of it and thought it
was very fine land.

to their personal desires. He illus

the fact that he was wanted to serve

chamber of commerce, moved vote of
thanks and called upon Mayor Fern to
present Mr.. Kahn with the keys of the
city, if the supervisors hadn It pawned

proclaim Mr.. Kahn an honorary citizen
of Honolulu.
His Honor, in very pointed speech,
seconded Mr.. Kahn S idea that Hawaii
should return "the alii' to congress,
the words of the Democratic mayor
creating more or less of sensation.
The speechmaking came to a close
with an address by Walter F. Dilling-
ham on "The Ladies, the speaker
prefacing his remarks by stating that
he had graduated from that particular
subject now as a general thing and
should have been called upon to speak

terring to- Mr.. Kahns reference to the
hospitality of Hawaii, said that he was
glad to know that strangers found Ha-
waiian hospitality still existing, as it
was something which Hawaiian sons
and daughters were most proud of.
Honolulu was once the greeting spot
of the Pacific; now it bristles with
guns,'' he said, "but, as the reef
which prevents the approach of ships
also affords within it the quiet harbor,
so the great guns only hold as a zone
of peace the spot where we may well
come all corners as friends. +"
