This morning, at the police court,
the case against the manager of the

Magoon appeared for the defendant.
He stated, in an interview, that while
he is not opposed to the board of
health in its fight against the mosqui-
toes, be would not like to see an in

However, as Judge Lymer pointed
out that other rice growers are COM

by Americans in Chinatown on Satur-

many of us to imagine ourself in the

us would stand for having our homes

ferrous foreign strangers, many of them
intoxicated, helping themselves to
everything in sight, and treating us,
their hosts, as merely objects Of curl

WILL SHOW HOW
OTHER HALF LIVES

Come and be counted at the Public
Welfare Exhibit next Monday"
Or if you can't come Monday, a
week from today, come any day of
the next five thereafter and become
acquainted with the city you live in.
All of which is the war slogan of
the better city campaigners," VINO
are making their best effort thus far
in that exhibition, which is to open
at the Palama gymnasium on Febru-
airy 26. There is to be a turnstile
erected at the entrance to the exhibit
ton, to which is to be assigned the
duty of counting every visitor. Those
who had charge of the Kirmess last
year, which made the present exhibits
possible, are still regretting that they
did not count the enormous attend
ance there, and the oversight will not
be repeated.
J. A. Rath and his assistant, w.
Spencer Bowen, are now directing
their efforts toward securing the larg-
est possible attendance from the
poorer classes of the city For those
on the comfortable side of the social
demarcation line they have prepared,
and induced other societies to pre-.
pare, telling exhibits of the exact con-
ditions on the other side of that line,
exhibits which cannot fail to be of
the most vital interest to all
Side by side with these, however,
will be exhibits prepared for the bene-
fit of those who live in the midst of
the conditions pictured. How to live
better, cheaper, cleaner and conse-
quently healthier and happier are the
great modern lessons taught by the
humane science to those who are its
beneticiaries and all are to be illus.
trated at the exhibition.
An illustration of what these will
be will be found in a little room on
the main floor of the gymnasium
which is to be fitted up with furniture
made cheaply out of old boxes. A
special committee of ladies', of which
Mrs. F. J. Lowrey is the chairman, is
in charge of preparing this. The idea
itself is not entirely new. The propo-
sition of utilizing apparently useless
boxes. which can often be secured
free from merchants and grocery
stores, is one which appealed to the
humanitarians, who are doing such
great work in the Eastern cities, and
Is simply being duplicated here.
In spite of this, however, it seems
incongruous that the comparatively
wealthy should have first thought of
this expedient of poverty, or if not of
poverty, at least of those farther
down in the scale of wealth than
themselves. But the idea has been Of
incalculable bene7t, and after Homo.

him-in fact on Friday night it
seemed for a time that he could not
appear in the second show, but was
prevailed upon to continue after a
brief hours rest. Therefore, start

o'clock for one performance only.
A number of new specialtiees will

Bijou to Have Doric Trio.
Patrons of the Savoy theater a year
ago will remember the Doric Trio
and the hit they made during their
months engagement, and are looking
forward to their temperance at the
Bjjou tomorrow night.
These people are without exception
the best trio that has ever appeared
here The tall bass singer, besides
having splendid voice, is a comedian
OF no mean ability, and puts a swing
of originality into his songs. The re.
engaging of this trio was very wise
move on the part of the Honolulu
Amusement Company
For tonights vaudeville attraction
the Bijou will have Billie RAIDER, the
California soprano, who was success
fully received at the Savoy last week.
She will sing an Irish folk song and
mysterious rag. What is lacking in
vaudeville numbers will be made up
in pictures, as a very select line will
be shown tonight.
