Filipino social club composed both
OF FHipInOs and SpaniardS. who we're
interested in the Philippines. The
idea Of this club was to quietly assist
in improving social and political con-
ditions in the islands AT one of the
meetings Rial suggested that the best
means of doing this would be the writ
ing and publishing of book telling
the truth and conditions in the Philip
pines. This was the beginning of a
series of studies of the political condi-
ton of the Philippines which resulted
later in the publication of his most
noted books, the Social Cancer" and
the "Reigning of Greed" After re-
celving the degree OF. doctor of medi-
cine and Of philosophy at the Univer-
s1ty Of Madrid he studied in Paris,
Heidelberg, Leipsic and Berlin. In
these universities he acquired prof.
cheney in optical surgery and a more
or less extensive knowledge of seven
European languages. He also made a
careful study OF history, institutions
and customs Of the various European
countries. He soon began to realize
clearly the terrible disadvantage un-
ger when his own race in the Philip
pines labor. In 1886 he published his
novel. the Social Cancer" in which
he exposed and denounced the. inius-
tees Of the Spanish administration in
the islands, .... ..>>
!. In 1887 he returned to the islands,
but his writings had aroused the ami
mostly of the Spanish officials and
Rial was forced to leave the islands
within a few months. He spent his
time in Japan, London and on the con-
tinent of Europe and in 1891 publish

time he organized the 'Liga Filipino, .

NATIONAL HERO Of PHILIPPINESIS
HONORED ON TWCDAYSEACH YEAR

From the fact that local Filipinos
nave just celebrated the natal ami
Versary of Jose. Rial, which falls up
on June 10, and from the fact that
each year they periodically observe
the anniversaries of both birth and
execution Of their patriot and hero,
the physician. author and popular
leader of thought makes the following
sketch of him of interest at this time,
Few Americans know much of the
life and labor of Jose Rial, the Fiji
pino patriot. but to the Filipinos he is
the great hero of their islands and the
life OF no man has ever gripped their
Imagination or held their emotion as
the life of this young man has done.
1t is an interesting fact that this
man who exemplified and combined
the best characteristics of the Fill
pino people had among his ancestors
leading men of the Chinese, Spanish
and Filipino. the three principal peo-
pies of the islands This fact was a
llberalizing influence in the thinking
OF Rial and has much to do in, unit
ing the diScortant elements among his
people. -, -.
Jose Rlzal was born in Kalamba,
June IS. 1861. His father was Chi
nese and a prominent man in the com.
munity. His mother was Chinese mes
tlso, a gifted woman and one unusual.
~ cultured for that time and place
When Jose was three years old his
mother taught him to read. Three
uncles concerned themselves with
the training Of their promising ne
Prev. One was a teacher and looked
after his regular studies, another
locked after his physical training and
The third taught him the value of work
and Of independent thinking. When
lose was 10 wears old he entered a
Jesuit school in Manila. On finishing
there. in 1882, he went to Madrid for
III" purpose Of studying medicine.
While in Madrid he was member of

the encouragement that he should be
allowed to leave there In safety Upon
his arrival. however, he was arrested
and convicted of having helped to or
ganize secret and revolutionary so
ciety, and was banished to Mindanao.
In 1896 violent epidemic of yellow
fever was raging in Cuba and Rial
volunteered his services as a physi.
clan. s......s~s..
He was seized while on HIS way to
Cuba and was brought to Manila to
answer to the charge of treason. After
a long trial, throughout which he pro-
tested his innocence, he was sentenced
to be shot On the morning of De-
cember 80, 1896, on the Luneta, a
prominent thoroughfare in Manila, he
was shot as a traitor. Shortly before
his death he wrote poem which
shall ever remain the great poem
among the Filipinos. A verse from 1t
will show the spirit of this young
dreamer, patriot, martyr.

MAUILICENSE Commission CUTS
OFF ONE VALLEY ISLE SALOON

A petition signed by about go home
steaders and others of the Kuiaha sec.
ton opposed the granting of a new
license to the Kaupakalua Wine &
Liquor Company" for it's wholesale
store at Pauwela, while a petition of
about the same length was for it. F..
G. Krauss appeared in person and
spoke strongly against the issuance.
r. A. Wadsworth, representing the
company, urged the granting of the
license on the grounds that without
the Pauwela store as an outlet for the
winery that institution must be fore
ed out of business, and that such an
event would be a heavy blow to some
two or three hundred Portuguese
small formers of the Kaupakalua dist

means of livelihood. -. T..

MODERN VEHICLES require SPACE

But OF all the memories Of the old
Jail, those which Attorney William +
Sheldon called to mind as he turne,:
backward into his youth were prob.
ably the most interesting -.
Sheldon is 60 years old and remem.
bers the old jail as far back as his
memory goes. Those were the DAYS
OF no street cars nor autos and no DO
lice patrol wagons. He told of the
$50 and 10 o'clock curfew bells.
Il remember the Jail from that
bell" says Sheldon, ."for as a boy
had great deal Of respect for lis
warning. The $50 bell was warn
ing 10 hike for home; the 10 O'Clock
bell was an absolute order for thu
women and children to get off the
streets. No respectable woman would
be seen outside her home without an
escort after the last bell
Sheldon says it was the custom then
to reckon time at night by the two
bells. ......... ..
IF John met Bill on the street and
asked the hour" says Sheldon, John
would say that the first bell hadn't
rung or that the second bell was long
past. which indicated that 1t was ap.
preaching midnight. H..
The children never questioned the
authority Of that bell on the old Jail
house and when its first peal rang
out they took for home as fast as they
could go, and II they weren't making
tracks for home at a rapid gait when
the second bell, rang the police
grabbed them" "
Bailiff Joe Nobriga, who is well in.
formed on the history of the police.
says that prior to 1857 the Halewai
jail was on the water front and with
a large tank on its roof, where the
whalers and freighters took water,
hence the name "Halewai," house of
water. ~. -. !. ...

Old HaIewai Police Station
Goes to Make Room for
Modern Garage

One of Honclulu's oldest and most
interesting landmarks; the old Hale,
wal police station, is disappearing this
week
. On King street. just Eva of Nu,i>
anu street, one wall still stands OF
that once famous rest" for the rough
and unruly. According to the best
information obtainable at the city Jail
it was built in 1857, the same year
that the Oahu prison was erected.
A modern automobile garage is TAX.
ing the place of the old prison. The
garage is being erected by the City
Hardware Company and one of the an
cient walls of cement and lava stone
will serve in the new structure as a
last monument to the historic place.
The removal of the structure has
awakened memories of the Honolulu
of the long ago in many minds of the
older members around the police sta
ton and many OF the "reminiscences go
way back"
George Waipa, said to be the oldest
ranking member of the police depart
'ment, who now administers warrants
and subpoenas, very quietly informed
number who were discussing the
old Jail that he has been wearing a
badge since 1874. .-..-.
Marcus Sanders was reminded of
the big fire in 1886 in Chinatown,
when the Halewai Jail was partially
burned and the erection Of the present
structure on Merchant street was
started And Fred Weed proudly re.
membered the very date, May IL, and
that was when he was thin and could
skin" the back fence with agility.
