found on the premises, but a valuable
witness was secured in the person of a
man who, Roberts said, had purchased
beer and who was sitting at table
bringing 1t when the officers entered.
The place is so situated that it is
extremely difficult to conduct raid

GRAND jury IS TO.
INVESTIGATE VICE
Judge Heen Directs Inquisitorial
Body To Act Against Com
merciaIized Evil

Instructions to the members of the
territorial grand jury were given by
Circuit Judge Heen yesterday after.
noon to conduct thorough investiga,
ton of reports that cOmmercialiZed
vice is rife in residential sections of
the city since the closing of Iwilei sew
eral months ago.
Judge Heen, in his address to the
jury, requested that body to ascertain
whether the present reported conditions
are due to the closing of the district
formerly given over to the conduct of
eommercalized vice. The judge also
requested the jury to indict persons
who may be found guilty of violating
the laws under which the former dis
trict was eliminated as city vice fac
tor.
The Judge stated that his attention
had many times been called during
court sessions to cases involving what
is popularity known as sexual crimes,
Whether or not there has been an in
crease in such crimes he was not off
cially prepared to say, but in the event
the Jury asccrtained there had been an
increase, he wished to be informed
whether it was due to the closing Of
Iwilc. From such reports as had come
to him he said it was strongly Sus-
pected that congratulated vice has
spread through the city and women Of
questionable reputation we're plying
their trade in various portions of town.
He called attention to a number of
women, formerly of Iwilei and given
suspended sentences, who had been
brought before the courts and either
have been forced to leave the city or
to serve out their sentences.

ILLICIT VENDORS
OF LIQUOR MAY
EXPECT PENALTIES
Judge p,adsxter Promises Sen
tenocs Win Be More Severe
Than Six Months lmprison-
ment From Now On <.

In future sellers Of liquor to sol.
diers in Uniform, win be much more
severely dealt with than they have
been in the past. Judge Poindexter
gave earnest Of this decision, in the
federal court, yesterday morning,
when he sentenced Hawaiian named
Arthur McColgan 70 six months inn
prisonment, on charge Of selling
liquor TO soldier.
A number Of cases Of this nature
have been brought recently in the fed
erth court upon information laid by
United States Attorney Huber or his
assistant, J. j. Banks. In most in.
stances the defendants have been Civ
en- short sentences, but this has been
due, in every instance, to the fact
that defendants had been incarcerat'
ed in jail for considerable time pre-
vious to their trial. So
As matter Of fact this procedure
on the part Of the federal authorities
has been sadly misconstrued by Of
Tenders Of the class in question. Only
last week IL came to the ears of Ger
tain federal Judge that the govern
ment was said TO be winking at the
furnishing of booze to soldiers and
that the fact that only insignificant
sentences were meted out to convicted
offenders, was proof positive of this.
This conclusion on the part of those
engaged in the illicit liquor traffic
was rudely shattered by Judge Poin
dexter yesterday, when, in sentencing
McCOlgan to six months imprison
ment, he said: f..
"In future anyone brought befor,
me ON charges Of selling liquor to 4
man in uniform who is found guilty
will be, given a much more severe sen
tenee than six months imprisonment.
McColgan delivered 10. Private T
Barry, Fifth Company, Coast Artillery
Corps, Fort Kamehameha, FIVE bottles
of beer and one flask Of whiskey, fol-
which he received $3.50. The trans
portation took place on Smith Street
between Pauahi and BeretaniF
Streets, on Saturday night. An in
formation in the case was lodged by
Deputy United States Attorney J. J
Banks.
In court, yesterday morning, Nc
COlgan, admitted having been al
agent to the sale of the liquor He
is an emPloye of the Hawaiian Fer
tilizer Co.

GERMAN MINISTER
/. AT COPENHAGEN
REPORTED CHOSEN
Count BrOckdOrff Rantzau
Slated for Imperial For
eign Secretary.
HIS MOTHER AND BROTHER
IN HIGH COURT POSITIONS
Played Important Role With Re-
spect to American-German
Relations During War.
NO ILLUSIONS ON SUBJECT
Declared to Be Man Of Firm, Strong
Hand, With Considerable En-
ergy for Execution.
HIS MOTHER AND BROTHER
IN HIGH COURT POSITIONS.
NO ILLUSIONS ON SUBJECT

COPENHAGEN, July 15.-The Berlin
correspondents report that Count
BrockdorT- Rantzau, the German minis
ter at Copenhagen. has been selected
to succeed DR.. Alfred Zimmerman as
imperial Foreign Secretary. Should
this report be confirmed. it would
mean the return of the aristocratic
traditions of the German service.
Count Brockdorff- Rantzau is born"
in the German sense of the word. and
highly connected at court through his
twin brother. who holds high court
position. and through his mother.
Countess Brockdorff- Rantzau, mistress
of the robes to the Empress. and one
of the most masterful and dominant
personages in court life.
Far more important for America is
the role which Count Brockdorfs- Rant
Eau played with respect to German
American relations during the war.
Count Won Bernstorn, the German ann
bassador at Washington, not being all
together satisfied with the relations
through the prescribed channel. owing
to the vigorous attitude of James w.
Gerard, the American ambassador at
Berlin, the German government en-
deavored to open an alternative chan
mel OF communications through Count
Brockdorff Rantzau. and used the min
lister to transmit to Washington.
through the American minister at
Copenhagen. DR.. Maurice Egan. COM
munications designed to take the edge
from tense situations which now and
then arose, and build up working
agreements with the United States.
ACCEPTS PENDING
RUPTURE AS FACT
Count Brockdorff- Rantzau had long
believed such agreements possible. and
had labored in this direction. Finally
he became convinced that the adop-
tion of unrestricted submarine warfare
and breach with the United States
were inevitable. After the failure of
the German peace proposals. he ac-
cepted the pending rupture as fact.
The imperial German Chancellor, DR..
Won Bethmann-Hollweg. and DR.. Zim-s
mermann, after the complete rupture.
endeavored to treat the American
declaration OF state of war as non-
existent. or, at least, to act as IL the
declaration that a state OF war existed
was not binding upon Germany. But
Count Brockdorf- -Rantzau cherished
no such illusions.
The new. Foreign Secretary has
superficial reputation for being some
thing of a sluggard and a late riser,
with small taste for society. But be-
meath he is a man of firm. strong hand,
with con.iderable energy for execu-.
ton. He is about the only German
diplomat who has won the approval of
the amateur diplomatic critics CT Ger
many for keeping the diplomatic house
in order and checking infractions OF
what Germans regard as the neutral
attitude Of the foreign press. He Is
cousin OF Count Won Bernstorn. ana

AMSTERDAM. July 15.-Interest in

the hurried visit to Berlin OF the Ba-
varian Premier. Count Hertling. and
the continued conferences between the
Kaiser, the crown prince and Hinden-

For the moment. the most important

port that Hindenburg Is TO be named
