Kwong Chung Lung appeared before
the license commissioners yesterday af
ternoon to explain why the proper
record of intoxicants sold by him had
not been made, according to rule IA.

and made loag explanation, admitting
that the bookkeeper had been careless,
The commissioners decided to suspend
Kwong 5 license. for two months. This
means that he will write his expected
holiday business to profit and loss.
Attorney Castle explained that he
had had long talk with the manager
OF the firm, and he had come to the con-
clusiOn that the man had no guilty
knowledge of the affair. Unquestion.
ably the failure to make the entries had
been due to rank carelessness. The
bookkeeper admitted that he had failed
to make the entries, and he had been
removed from his position and another
man obtained. The regulation making
licensees enter every sale effected was
| hardship, he said.
Inspector Fennell explained that he
had inspected stages going over the
Pail road and had found them contain
ing as many as four cases of liquor
from Kwong's house, but there had not
always been entries in his books. There
could not be the excuse that the man
did not understand how to make the
entries, for over and over again he had
been shown how to make them.

saw a dirtier or flthier place. No
one who does not know any more about
conducting a business than that man,
should have a license" was his scath-
ing comment.
Inspector Fennell calculated that the
books showed that the firm was selling
about fifty cases of Chinese liquor each
month, whereas it was receiving $50
cases on an average, each month and
there was not great deal on hand.
The Persia brought 155 cases of Chi
nese liquor last Saturday. Fully three
hundred cases of Chinese liquor goes
to the other side Of the island each
month.
Mr.. Craig had few cutting remarks
to make with regard TO tho action OF
the jurymen in their findings in eou.

much good TO catch owners of blind
pigs" he said. 'They always seem
to get free. Go In like MeDnfie does.
