Acting without moments hesita-

graph, Capt Johnson dropped anchor
and whistled for the Matson tug In
trepid The tug was on the scene in
a few minutes and helped TO nose the
liner into her berth.
Because of the commanders quick
action, the liner was brought TO a stop
in plenty of water. On taking the

WERE CURED OF
SMOKING OPIUM
Says Lis Elixir
Recommended BY Now
Defunct Society

Seyepty PERSONS were cured OF the
opium kabil BY medicine prescribed
- DT. X. f. Ii.
This striking bit of testimony vas
the feature q. today's session OF the
trial oil the local Chinese physician
wno is charged by federal officials
with having violated the Harrison mar
cotic act
The. testimony anent the alleged
cures was given by Yuen Sal Yin, who
told OF the formation here some seven
or eight years ago of an organization
by Christian Chinese to wipe out the
smoking of opium and to help those
already addicted get rid of the habit.
This organization, the witness said.
sought to keep the young people from
the habit and induce the older ones to
take treatment
At first, the witness said, the or
ganiZation recommended the taking
of a medicine or cure" that was OBJ
tanned direct from China, and which
was shipped to Hawaii and tried out.
Some of this medicine, he added, was
sent to Maui.
But this cure" failed to cure, re.
lated the witness. Then it was dis
covered that DIR. Ii had a successful
cure, he continued, and the society
recommended that those with the
habit deal with Lii
1T was called opium cure medi-
cine." the witness testified.
Yuen Sal Yin said that the organi-
zation kept a record of those who
took Lis cure" and document pur.
porting TO be this record was intro
duced in evidence. The witness went
on to say that more than $50 bottles
of the cure" were dispensed by Ii
in the treatment. He also testified
that the president of the organization
kept record OF each person taking
the cure" whether he was cured" or
rot This, he said, was one of the
records of the organization.
The first report, the witness con-
tinuei, showed that SO persons had
been cured by the treatment and
that the second record showed 20,
meaning that 20 in all had been
cured.
There was also introduced in evi.
dence a batch of certificates, identi-
fled as being certificates sent to the
president of the organization by those
who had been totally cured" of the
opium habit The witness also iden-
titled a document purporting to be
letter sent to the organization thank
ing it for recommending LIS cure"
The witness, in conclusion, said that
the organization was disbanded about
six years ago because of lack of funds.
The society, he said, had about 500
and that person to become
a member had to first be cured of the
opium habit, if he had it. About half
the number of persons treated, he
added, were cured.
Rev. Kong Yin Tet, local Chinese
minister, was introduced by the de-
tense as character witness. He said
DR.. LIS reputation was good.

There was a brilliant display of the

beautiful sight. Bright streamers
flashed from the horizon all along the

the lights and also that the telegraph
and telephone service both east and

ed that in some instances the foreign

ranged from seventy-five volts posi-

At Minneapolis, where, it was said,
the sky was unusually bright, both
telegraph and telephone circuits were
put out of commission for several
hours.
