WITNESS FAINTS
UNDER FUSILLADE
OF QUESTIONING

When Attorney A. s. Humphreys
numbered broadside of rapid-fire
questions at him this morning, Henry
Kai, who halls from Hilo, collapsed
in dead faint In his chair in the Of
flee. of u. 8. Commissioner George s.
Curry in, the federal building. Fed
eral Messenger Beniyedes was des-
patched for glass of water and
smelling salts, and the young man
was soon revived.
Henry Kai came down from Hilo
to testify in the All Bio case, the de-
PENDANT being charged with having
opium in possession. 49,. ss.sa..s4
Henry's knees trembled when he
was called into the hearing and sworn.
He ,trembled as If he had the ague
OF dengue or something like that. Big
tears rolled down his cheeks. Then,
fright in the middle of question, his
head dropped down and he sprawled
out In his chair-dead to the world.
He was sobbing quietly when he
left the commissioners office.

DIRTY STREETS
ARE MENACE TO
HEALTH OF CITY
Residents on Makai Side of
ThoroughfareS Get Dust,
Says MacC aughey

People who live on the makai side
Of Beretania, King street and other
highways Of the city running parallel
to these have a harder fight against
disease than their more fortunate
neighbors across the street. according
to Professor Vaughan MacCaughey, in
structor in biology az the College Of
Hawaii, who delivered the fourth OF
his series of five lectures at the pub
lie library this morning.
"Honolulu's dirty streets furnishing
vile dust to be lifted up and carried
from the streets into houses by the
ever-preyailing sea breeze from over
the mountains, these, the professor
declared, make the dangers to the ma
kai dwellers greater by far than those
of their neighbors.
Cleaner streets, streets as clean az
floors, will remedy the condition, the
professor said. He stated that this
dust is not the good brown dirt" that
Henry Van Dyke loves to mention as
one of the joys OF the country. Streets
should first be treated to good pave
ment and afterward kept clean by
thorough flooding with heavy streams
of water.
Plantation camps In Hawaii are not
so dangerous as breeders of bacteria
as is frequently pictured; milk is gen
orally Of good quality: soda water
bottles and glasses used in little out
of-town stores. however, are often
poorly cleaned and are likely to be
carriers Of disease, when returned for
filling.
Next Saturday morning the profess
sor will close his series of lectures
on bacteria with demonstration of
biological laboratory apparatus and its
use. The lecture win be given at the
College Of Hawaii, beginning at $3.50
o'clock

WUDAN HEARING
SET FOR MONDAY

The hearing in the case of Col. D..
J. Wudan has been SET for 8 o'clock
Monday morning at the immigration
station. Gen. Wudan has secured r..
w. Breckons as his counsel and the
case will be reported to Richard Hal
sey of the immigration station. The
report on the case will be made here
and the evidence forwarded to Wash
ington for a decision.
Gen. Wudan was arrested some
time ago on the charge of being an
anarchist and was released on bond.
The assertion was made that Wudan
had stated during a meeting in Homo
lulu last June that Yuan Shih-Kai
should be decapitated. Advices
reached Washington that the local Chi
nese was an anarchist and officials
at the national capital ordered his ar
rest.
Gen. Wudan was at one time on the
staff of Sun Vat Sen and has always
been leader in the movements of
the National Party.
If he is found guilty Ccl.-gen. WI
dan may be deported to China. He
alleges the whole affair is the result
of a plot to get him again in Yuan
Shih-Kai's territory.

bership in the club feature, but only
members of the camp can be officials
Of the club. The building and fixtures
owned by the camp are used by the
club. No intoxicating liquors except
draft and key beer have ever been
dispensed in the club. This beer was
ordered from the Honolulu Brewing
Company by the club steward on au'
thorify from the clHb, and was paid
for nv the camp quartermaster month.
" II was then dispensed to the mem

club above described. These methods
may be generalized as follows:
Beer In. considerable quantities was
obtained by a club official for the club
from a brewing company, paid for out
the club rooms on the military reser
walton and there obtained in small
quantities by the members of tho
club, for which they later paid money
into the treasury of the club.
Question Presented.
3. The sole question presented is,
do such facts amount to sales of or
dealing in beer, prohibited by Sec. 80
Of the Act of Feb. 2, 1901? This sec.
tion is as follows:
The sale of or dealing in beer,
wine or any other intoxicating liquors
by any person in any post exchange
or canteen or army transport or upon
any premises used for military pur-
poses by the United States, is hereby
prohibited. The Secretary of War is
hereby. directed to carry the provi-
sions of this section into full force
and effect.
ANY transaction by any soldier or
other person, or corporation or asso-
citation, upon premises used for mill.
tary purposes, which involves the ele-
ments Of sale, is clear violation of
this law. It is clear. think, that the
methods of dispensing beer by said
clubs at Schofield Barracks, T. H., as
revealed in Lieut-col Forsyth's re-
port, have the elements of sale and
are in violation of sail law. Any other
construction would defeat the plain
intention of Congress; for if the trans
actions of these clubs in intoxicating
liquors be legal, then there would be
no legal reason why all the troops
in any army post might not form
themselves into one club, procure and
dispense intoxicating liquors therein,
and in effect reestablish the canteen.
5. 1T is the opinion of this office
that the employment on the military
reservation of Schofield Barracks of
the above described methods in re-
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-12-04

spect to the dispensing and handling
Of beer amounts to sales thereof and
violates Sec. 3S, Of the Act of Feb. 2,
1901, supra"
Applies to Officers Clubs.
The opinion of Col. John F. Gull
foyle, 4th Cavalry, the new command
ing officer at Schofield, is that the
above opinion of the Judge Advocate
General of the Army makes the meth
cd of handling and dispensing intoxi-
eating liquor at the officers clubs a
violation Of the law, and he has sent
a letter to the cantonment command
ers requiring discontinuance of same
at all the clubs.
The letter is substantially as fol-
lows:
l. 1t is insisted upon that the pro,
visions of General Orders No. 50, cur
rent series, these headquarters, be
carried out literally, attention being
particularly invited to paragraphs 8
and 5.
2. Any method which involves the
handling or dispensing of beer or in
toxicants in any manner whatsoever,
except in cases where special per.
mission may be obtained for dinners,
ETC., will be considered violation OF
the law on this subject as interpreted
by the Judge Advocate General in the
order referred to above.
8. Although this general order was
published with certain allegations con.
corning enlisted mems clubs as its
basis, and although its provisions deal
apparently exclusively with that sub
ject, the law itself makes no distinc.
ton whatever between enlisted men
and commissioned officers so far as
the sale of or dealing in intoxicants
on military reservation is concern
ed. Therefore the second paragraph
OF this letter will be considered ap-
plicable to all. . p:
4. 1t may be further stated that no
eyasions or subtle substitutions in re-
gard to the requirements of the law
will be tolerated by these headquar.

cHAsTENED TAMMANY.

The Tammany which won victory in the New
York city elections recently is not the corrupt,
defiant and contemptuous Tammany of old. 1t
is Tammany chastened by recent defeat,
frightened by the exposure of its methods and
old-time leaders and now supporting men who
at least are not notorious tools of a notorious
ring.
The first district attorney that Tammany has
succeeded in electing in fifteen years is Edward
Swami, who stepped down from the court of
general sessions to enter the race. He was
opposed by Charles A. Perkins, Republican,
the present district attorney, and Frank Moss,
Independent. All three are frst-class men,
Judge Swann's popularity may be estimated
by the fact that in 1907 he was elected mem
Der of the court of general sessions by more
than 10000 votes over Charles S. Whitman
who scored tremendous victory in the guber-
material campaign last year. Swami is an ex-
pert in criminal law and is personally a man
of bonndless energy combined with what is de-
scribed as the courtly grace and courtesy of
the old school. That he was put forward as
Tammany candidate is proof of the purifying
