fined $50 apiece by the court for
having liquor in their possession.
James Cavanaugh a transient was
arrested in Lihue for Needless driv-
ing and put up S25 to insure his ap-
peararce in court. 1t proved not to-
be very good insurance for he failed

The case of James Ward of Homo
lulu charged with seduction was
postponed until July Goth.
Juan Balkis a Filipino charged with

pied with him. He did manage to
give Balkis a hard blow on the
head before he escvaped. Balkis
did not have an opportunity to re-
trieve his clothes from the chicken
house
The case was reported to the po-
lice who quickly rounded up Bal
kis and when the clothes that he
had left behind were searched
key that was identified by the Jap
anese couple as being their proper
ty. 1t was on this evidence that
Balkis was convicted.
Balkis was held on a charge of
burglary for the grand jury by Judge
Hjorth this morning. This charge
comes from the second attempt at
housebreaking which resulted in his
capture. He had just been released
from Jail on a uarceny charge and
will now return to serve year.

BROWN DISCOUNTS. !.
ON EARTH
Local Minister Cites
Bible Story of
Lazarus

Many men who have millions 10
their credit here, who have social
and political powers to spare, may
be the poorest pauper in eternity"
declared DR.. R. T. Brown In his
sermon last night at the First M.
E. church.
"A man who gives his time, his
thought and his business atfec.
tions to the things OF this life is
building his hope on the shortest
period of our existence. When
God breathes the spirit OF life into
man, then man becomes immortal.
He cannot balance his books, or
measure his success by what he
has done here, but must wait to
see what eternity has in store for
him."
To emphasize this statement, DR..
Brown took up the life OF sin In
Its highest form and Christianity
at its lowest, as represented in the
parable OF the rich man and the
poor man.
The rich man. he said, had more
money than he could spend, was
powerful politically and socially,
and Jared sumptuously every day.
