LIQUOR BOARD
ACTS TODAY ON
.LICENSEPLEAS
Commissioners Indicate They
Will Not End Sales OF
Bottled Goods

The LIQUOR license commission
meets at g. 80 this afternoon to act
upon 50 applications submitted
Wednesday for renewals Of annual IL
censes to sell liquor in Honolulu and
to hear 10 applicants requested to ap-
pear before it to show cause why
their licenses should not be revoked
or suspended for alleged violations OF
various regulations.
Although 1t is the general impress
sion that the days of liquor selling in
Honolulu are numbered, during the
war at least, members of the commits,
sion do not believe it is within Their
power to cancel all licenses. While
reticent they gave the impression that
they did not contemplate any sucn
drastic action.
Whether. the commissioners will
adopt any new regulations relative to
the sale of bottled goods to prevent
LIQUOR from passing on to enlisted men
is another mooted question which
they decline to discuss beforehand. II
was stated, however, that the elimin-
alton of bottled goods sales would
automatically close bars in clubs as
the latter have no licenses, and would
also cut off what some OF the commits
sioners consider one of the most legit-
innate uses of liquor, /, e., in private
homes with meals.
Situation Improves
The situation Ringing on booze on
the streets last night was reported
much improved and officials generally
believe stringent action towards mis-
creants furnishing soldiers with liquor
have had a salutary effect. Only one
soldier, J. J. Rowan, Company K, 32d
Infantry, was arrested for having
booze in his possession. He was taken
at the corner of King and River
streets by Policeman Abel Kia and
was in civilian clothes. He was car
rying six bottles Of beer, 1t was
charged.
Explaining the general attitude Of
the commissioners on the present sit
uation relative to canceling of licenses
and also to the resumption Of the late
closing hour regulation Chairman
Richard A. Cooke said today:

authority from what is commonly
known as the Liquor Law This law
was enacted through the representa-
tives Of the people Of Hawaii and is
one of regulation and not of prohibi-
ton. Therefore, even II majority
of the commissioners believed it to be
to the best interests to the people Of
the city and county of Honolulu to re-
fuse to renew all licenses, they would
be acting illegally If they adopted
such a course. In other words they
cannot and do not consider them
selves above the law.
The board has authority to make
any regulations whatsoever, subject,
however, to the limitations and direc-
tions Of the Liquor Law For this
reason even II it had seemed advis-
able to the board to continue the clos
ing hours. of saloons at Z p. m, they
would have exceeded their authority
in enacting such a regulation since
the law distinctly fixes the closing
hours of saloons at 1880 p. m"

He was jerking the bell for his

One Chinese gave Young a nickel

Before Young could make change a
Korean woman in the rear started to
leave the car before it had stopped.
The conductor whirled and caught her
Just in time to help her safely to the
street.
Young turned back and offered the
Chinese the As cents change just as
the latter was getting off at Dowsett
lane. The Chinese insisted it was not
his, but Young was equally as in
sistent, and showed the money in the
mans pocket as he alighted.
Along about Kamehameha w road
the other Chinese blurted out: Can

JAPAN Will INTERPOSE NO BAR
IOIMARSHALL ISLANDERS return

Senior Gil said this morning he will
take up at once with. the local Japan.
csc consul general, Rokuro Moroi, the
matter Of securing transportation
from Honolulu to the Marshall group
for the sailors.
The islanders arrived here in April
on an Oceanic boat from San Fran
cisco a few days after war was de-
clared on Germany. They were al,
lowed to leave that city by the immi-
grafton authorities, and thought they
could live on the ex-German gas
schooner Hermes here until the war
was over, when they would return to
their South Sea homes. In San Fran.
cisco they lived aboard the German
schooners Neptun and Atlas, on which
they had been sailors.
The Hermes was seized by the
government and the crew taken off.
The men have been making a living
here as best they could since that
time. Some Of them have been en-
ployed as sailors by the Inter-1sland,
and one man is among the survivors
Of the burned Hamakua.
The Marshall Islands were former
ly German possession, but the Jap
anese captured them early in the
European war, hence permission had
to be secured from Japan before the
sailors could be allowed to return
home. Although they served on Ger.
man vessels they are now Japanese,
not German, subjects.

OWNERS Of COWS
NQUARANTINE
MAY get AID

Acting Attorney General Arthur G..
Smith has just rendered an opinion
for the board of agriculture and for
estry 10 the effect that the board may
expend territorial funds for the feed
ing and care Of cattle guaranteed
and isolated because of the existence
Of anthrax among them. The opinion
deals specifically with the T. +. Farm
cattle &C Moiliiii.
$50 long as the cattle remain on
the land where the disease occurred,
saws the opinion, there Is possibly
danger Of further contagion, and 1t Is
neither permissible nor possible for
Mr.. Farm to dispose either OF his cat
tie or the milk therefrom. II these.
cattle could be removed to new To-
cation, / am advised by DR.. Norgaafd
that q few days observation would
enable him to determine whether he
could give them clean bill Of health
which would enable Mr.. Farm either
to continue IN the dairy business or
TO dispose Of his cattle. 7
Il further understand that Il appears
impossible for Mr. Farm to secure the
lease Of private land upon which to
keep this herd IN the absence Of q bin
Of health.
Ordinarily the proper procedure
would appear to be for the board to
remove the cattle to the government
quarantine station (this applies only
to cattle which are not diseased) for
observation and custody until the ter
ritorial veterinarian could issue the
required certificate, which cannot
be issued so long as the cattle remain
on the land where the disease has oc-
CURED. Since the quarantine station
is not sufficiently large for this pur-.
pose ] believe q proper alternative
would be the setting apart Of a parcel
Of land for q quarantine station for the
purpose specified above. This, how.
ever, viii take time and hence the
board has been compelled to isolate
the cattle where they now are at the
Farm Dairy, q procedure which, in my
opinion, raises the same questions of
law as would the removal 70 q public
post or quarantine station"
Smith then takes up the question
Of who shall pay for the care OF the
cattle, showing that the local statutes
apparently contemplate the govern
ment,s paying for reasonable care,
nursing. and support OF infected per-
sons inyoluntarily confined. for q
certain time at least. The question
OF ultimate payment need not be de-
eided at this time, be says, and adds
that the board has full authority to
make such expenditures as are neces-
sary for carrying out the purposes of
the act.

Chance the Earmere Missed.

A great opportunity for ainassing
wealth has slipped out of the hands of
every farmer and gardener this year.
simply because they did not know
how to grasp the opportunity, and
there was nobody to tell them about it.
The disappointment is temporary; the
opportunity will return, says the Bos-
ton Transcript.
Golden seal root, for instance, Is
wanted by druggists, and is worth $12
pound, and 1t might have been grown
In quantities in the United States.
The farmer who had seen the posi-
biiities In it's culture could have reaped
rich harvest. And many American
families will remember the time when
the arnica flower was a common flow
er, which the old folks saved and used
for home remedy for sprains, but the
commercial prospect in its culture has
not been realized and II nas been al
lowed to disappear until now 1t Is
worth S. pound. Druggists will be
glad to pay that much money for it.

A Guaranteed Treatment That Has

Catarrh cures come and catarrh

heal catarrh and abolish it's disgust

Every year the already enormous
sales of this really scientific treat
ment for catarrh grow greater, and
the present year should show all re-
cords broken.
If you breathe Hyomei daily as di-
rected it will end your catarrh, or 1t
won't cost you cent.
IL you have hard rubber Hyomei

get it out and start it at once to for
ever rid yourself of catarrh.
W. l.. Gokay, or any other good
druggist, will sell you a bottle of
Hyomei Qiquid), start to breathe it
and notice how quickly 1t clears out
the air passages and makes the en-
tire head feel fine.
Hyomei used regularly will end ca
tarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis or
asthma. A complete outfit, including
a hard rubber pocket inhaler, and bot
tie of Hyomei, costs but little. No
stomach dosing; just breathe 1t. 1t
kills the germs, soothes and heals the

BEGIN PLANTING NOW

Tons of government bureau litera-
ture sent out during the past year,
especially that relating to crop grow
ing and food conservation was issued
too late to be of any value. John r.
Mcmahon in the Country Gentleman
in speaking of some features of it
says:
Now of course the American war
garden of 1917 was conceived, in
spired and kept going to glorious
finish by the Department of Agricrl-
ture. which made liberal appropria-
tions out of its annual millions OF
dollars to boost the backyard produc-
ton of food. But | hereby warn the
historian of the next century not to
copy this last sentence and quit, be-
cause it isn't so.
For number of reasons-or for
no reason at all-our Federal over
seer of husbandry was asleep at the
switch when the call for action came.
1t was necessary for a wealthy
amateur to turn aside from his hob
by of stamp collecting and under
study the Department of Agriculture.
1t took private citizen to feed Bel
GUM and America. and it has taken
another one, Charles l.. Pack, to
make food-raising noise that has
reverberated in the back yards from
Maine to California and has caused
most people to think that the United
States Government was doing it.
I'VE can't turn over fast enough
on this garden job was the pathetic
admission made by high official of
the Department last spring. We are
tied up with six kinds OF tape. BY
the time we get out bulletin ON
planting radishes it will be the season
to bank up celery
The point of the lesson both for the
bureaus and for the public is not to
worry about the past, but to see that
the same mistake does not happen
g second time.
Most men know already whether
they are going to do any planting
next year and most women know
what will be expected OF them in the
way of canning and food preserya-
ton The wise thing is to study
methods and make plans during the
long winter evenings and be ready to
act when the season opens and when
there is no time for study
Few people appreciate the value OF
the government bulletins. They are
voluminous bulky and hard to get
when one is in q hurry but, by follow
ing up subject and hunting for the
right matter, these bulletins contain
more of value for farmer and gard
ener than can be found anywhere
else.
The successful man in any line of
effort is the one who plans ahead,
and to no one does the lesson apply
