ASHFORD
SWATSLOTTERY
With TWO fines

Several blows in the way Of stiff
fines have been handed the che-fa lot
terry game by Circuit Judge Ashford
during the past week, and this morn.
ing he landed another telling swat on
the pastime by imposing fine of $500
en- Fong On, who was charged with
assisting in maintaining a game The
court also ordered the defendant to
pay the costs of the case. In impos-
ing sentence Judge Ashford animated
in no light way that the che-fa lottery
in Honolulu has got to step.
In the case of William Kekipi, how
ever, Judge Ashford was inclined to
be more lenient than in the matte,
involving Fong On. Kekipi was charg-
ed with having lottery tickets in his
possession. He was sentenced to pay
a fine of SIS, with costs RENTED.
Aside from the fine, Kekipi got a
generous "bawling out" from the
court. Judge Ashford said that, If he
had been selling the lottery tickets,
he doubtless was deprfving the pHr-
chasers. of many home comforts. As
Kekipi was a Hawaiian working man,
he could not very well pay a fine, the
court commented. Also, if he went to
jail, the members of his family would
suffer more, probably, than those who
purchased the lottery tickets. There
fore the courts leniency.
However, Kekipf will have TO spend
day at hard-labor in prison for each
and every dollar of the fine which re.
mains unpaid
