kAHANAMOKU FUND JUMPS

Watch the Duke K,ahanamoku fund
grow!
Get in and help it grow!
The movement for a substantial
gift to Duke Kahanamoku, Jr., who is
by his marvellous swimming at the
Olympic games, is getting real results
right from the outset.
The fund started when two admir-
ers of Duke up in Hama, Maui. sent
SIS to the Star-Bulletin and suggested
that Duke be given a house and lot
on his return fror Stockholm. A
further suggestion has been made
that a committee be named to handle
the fund, secure the house and lot,
place the property in trust for Duke
and make the occasion of his home
coming a big "hookupu" or celebra-
tion
Down at the fishmarket yesterday
afternoon and today the contributions
to the fund began to pour in. James
H. Boyd, market inspector, circulat-
ing among the stalls with the follow
ing petition:
''We, the undersigned, hereby sub
scribe the amounts set opposite our
names toward a gift for Duke Kaha-
ramoku End, expressing our aloha
and appreciation for his success at
the Olympic games at Stockholm,
Sweden. .. .>-. =.
How the money did flow in, Dol
lars, fifty-cent pieces and quarters, -
they all counted steadily up, and this
morning Mr. Boyd came to the Star
Bulletin Office with s33.75 that had
been given to help encourage Kaha-
namoku and clean sportsmanship in
Hawaii. ~ r..
DIR. Hutchinson of the Kaimuki
Land Company yesterday afternoon
notified the Star-Bulletin that the
company will donate $50 on the pur-
chase of a. lot and another generous
offer was put down. =.

INTEREST WAKES LATE
IN NOMINATIONS FOR
PRECINCT CLUB OFFICERS

Tonight the first real action of the
Republican party in this years cam
paign for Territorial and county cleo
tive officers will take place. when the
precinct clubs will nominate candi-
dates for club officers for a term of
two years, to be elected a week hence
excepting where there are no more
nominees than offices to be filled.
Very little interest in anywise ex-
citing appears to be taken in the
event. So far as heard there is no
announced fight on for control of the
organization in any precinct Many of
the retiring executives have not even
thought worth while to advertise where
their respective clubs are to hold their
elections
However. there was more interest
manifested today and more evidence of
actual organization.
Following is a list of the retiring

He was contradicting the report in

the Board had decided to stop Rus

AS stated in the report on another
page, the Board directed It's secretary
to address a circular letter TO the
of plantations, To ascertain
directly from them just What they
think about Russians as laborers. The
recall of DR. Clark from ais investiga-
tons in Manchuria, which are related
to a contract. with the International

cording to what Mr.. Waldron says, the
of Russian immigration.
The Board is merely feeling its

Republicans Getting Busy Now.
Won't "Let Him Co."
After All

Weeks of inaction in Republican
ranks have been succeeded by an
eleventh-hour movement TO head of
Delegate Kuhio in his announced pro-
gram of seeking Republican or inde.

openly opposing Gov. Frear.
up to within few days ago Repub-
lican leaders who have opposed Ku.

who more recently have found them
selves unable to follow the delegate
In the lengths to which he is going,
were inclined to sit back and allow
Kuhio and his followers to go their
way unchecked.
This attitude has been suddenly
changed, and consequently there is a
lot of interest being taken in the Re-
publican precinct club nominations
tonight. This morning Republican
leaders who we're active in the April
convention were busily engaged in
stirring up interest.
They have two objects in view. One
is TO get the party forces limbered
up and awake to the fact that some
hard work is to be done this fall.
The other object is. to find a man
who can lead the Republicans ahead

party out Of .non-essential issues and
unite its best men and best elements

ers are trying to unite on a leader-in-T

gram for the fall campaign. This
will develop, it is expected, within
the next few days.
Just what position the "Progres-
sives" like George R. Carter and A..
l.. c. Atkinson are going to take is,
a matter of much discussion also.
Both men are admittedly valuable to
Hawaii. They themselves are waiting
for more definite news from the main.

assigned In the Progressive conyen-

they brought back from Chica-

In this connection Collector Cottrill
today made the interesting statement
that large quantities OF opium are
legally shipped into the islands from
the mainland, and legally sold here.
He says that there are several mil
lion dollars worth of opium In the
United States that was imported be-
fore the law against its importation
was put into effect; that this drug
was properly taxed and stamped and
may still be sold If IL bears the reve-
nue. stamp. Unless it is sold directly

This morning the Silent Barber
Shop, of which Mr. Joseph Fernan-
Gez is proprietor, came through with
$3.50 to help the fund
The Honolulu Star-Bulletin, believ.
ing heartily in the idea of the fund
for Duke, subscribes $25 to the fund
and wishes it all success. Duke is
making good in every way, and the
Star-Bulletin stands for clean sport
and the encouragement of ii in Ha
waii and is very glad to set its name
DOWN for S25.
The fund is barely started, but it's
eff to good start; and what is more,
it is q popular movement Dukes
great work at Stockholm deserves to
be rewarded by something more than
words, and the Star-Bulletin is hear
ing every day from people who think
that the idea of house and lot
is fine one, the property to be
placed in trust and the gife made
when Duke gets back from the big
games
Here's the list of those who sub
scribed to the fund on the list turned
in this morning by Mr.. Boyd:

new RULING ON
OPIUM DOESN'T
HIT HONOLULU

'It may not be a crime to manufac-
ture opium from yen-shee, provided
the other ingredients used are not
opium, but nevertheless we continue
to seize yen-shee," said u. s.. District
Attorney Breckons this morning, in
commenting on a news item, under
Court of Appeals of New York has
ruled that yen-shee may be remade
into smoking opium.
"Yen-shee,' said Breckons, "is the
ash or residue of the smoking opium,
that remains in the bowl have
considered it legal to mix this yen
shee with water and other ingredi-
ents, provided they are not yen-hi, or
crude opium, and smoke it again,
though it cannot make very good
smoke.
"In some cases it is even custom.
ary to drop yen-shee in tea and drink
it, producing the same effect as the
smoking, except in much milder de
gree.
Contains Morphine.
But the stuff is often mixed with
the real. opium or the raw material
manufacturing a cheaper quality of
smoking opium. The yen-shee con-
tains a certain amount of morphine
that the original smoke did not take
away, and its value as an adulterant
is recognized so well that, it has a
market value of about 500 a pound. 2
In strange contradiction to the de-
cision just reported is a decision
made some years ago by the Southern
Circuit Court of Appeals of New York
a court of equal jurisdiction, if not
the same court which is said to have
made the recent ruling. The earlier

discounting the trouble and expense in

of those points with vision of a
pleasant auto ride, answered that he
thought he could undertake the con-
tract for fifty dollars.

tioneer. Il am going to sell Palmyra
Island at guardians sale on July 81,
and want to put UP a poster announc-
ing it on that island"
F'razier's vision now extending across
1900 miles oyer waste of water
caused him forthwith to hedge on the
contract, He did, not want to be a
welsher. but-well, Palmyra Island was
too long a shot for fifty plunks.

The decision Of Judge Cotteral 10
the effect that United states eiI

ma TO Eastern Oklahoma will prove
of but little benefit to the thirsty in
that part OF the state. for the United
states supreme court has decided tha,
the liquor can be seized after ii gets
into old Indian Territory.
The criminal feature of the case Is
the one that is bothering the East
bootleggers. The United States SUI
preme court in the Webb case held
that 'introducing" meant an inter
state shipment Of liquor, but in the
criminal cases already brought it was
argued that it was incumbent on the
DEFENDANTS arrested to prove that the
liouor on which the arrests We're
made came from scme pointi nsite
made came from some point inside
Eastern district. in "a new ease no"
nending should decide thar 10 is -

inc. for the shipments will in the tu-
ture be made from the western to the
