In Uje. condition of the books (ot the
police court as .revealed by A. V
. ' ,Gear, who has been bead clerk for a
little xver a month, and Judge Harry
Irwin. An Investigation of the con
dition of the books will probably be
made as the result of a letter by Judge
Irwin to the board of supervisors stat
ing tbe condition of the books, and
after reference of that letter to the
finance committee.
In the hands of a former district
court clerk, the books are said to
have been continually behind and It
not until A. V. Gear came into the
position that the condition of the
books was revealed. No doubt is held
as to the honesty of the last clerk, al
though it is said that his work has
proved that he was not fit to bold the
positlpn.
8ince 1910. when H. N. Clark was
discharged from tbe position following
the discovery that he had misappro-
priated the funds of the police court,
the books have not been up to date.

Local contributions were made
through Mr. James Fenwick, inspec

Mr. Fenwick received a letter from
the director of the executive commit
tee, who says, "I cannot commence to
describe to you tbe magnificence of
tbe affair and the impression that it
made. We bad over eight hundred
Knights Templars, Sbriners and Scot
tish Rite masons who lined up in uni
form on each side of the civic audi
torium. The ambulance corps, one
hundred and twenty-four strong, came
in and stood under the drop light, tbe
rest of the house being in darkness.
Over tbe stage in the organ loft, were
fifty buglers of the naval training sta
tion. On tbe sage were the Masonic
dlgnataries and executive committee
and Gen. Liggett, U. S. A., in uniform
and side arms, with fourteen of bis
staff. That was the setting and you
can imagine the impression it pro
duced on all of us. There were ap

Auditor James Bicknell stated that
while ' this statement of an over-deposit
was true it did not necessarily
mean that the other accounts were
obbed because there was always
enough money on hand to account for
that.
Mr. Gear has . spent much extra
time on the books, but will; now await
the action of the board of supervisors
before going ahead further.

to hold in reserve for lack of display room. On completion and opening of our modernly equipped store, the entire stock
will be open for inspection and what's more, the prices at the time these purchases were made will govern the selling
prices at the Opening. In the past few weeks prices on all Dry Goods have been advanced at least 25 per cent by the
manufacturers.

the question as he had not looked Into
thoroughly.
Maylnerease Imports
The question has arisen, however,
the effect such a refulatton
would hare on tbe liquor traffic The
opinion has been expressed that, if the
beer and sake breweries were com-

League, believes the regulations would
in a taxge measure wipe out tne
"blind pigs" that have flourished in
Honolulu since tbe law prohibiting
the sale of liquor to military officers
and men in uniform went into effect
The reason for this belief, he says; is
that much of the liquor sold in ''blind
pigs" is beer and that it Is of local
manufacture.
"Personally I would like to see the
commission make this ruling, said a
business man today. "I read a report
in the Star-Bulletin yesterday to the
effect that many underfed children
are attending the schools here. One
theory which may be drawn is that
much of the parents' money is spent
for liquor."
It is pointed out that the question
of whether the beer and sake brew
eries shall be closed for the period ot
the war, at least, is for tbe public to
answer, as public sentiment would be
one of the principal factors in having
the food commission take up the mat
ter for consideration.

J0YLA1 CIRCUS
ATTRACTS CROVI
With the rough spots worn off dur
ing the opening performance and a
tew slight changes in the arrangement
of the program, the big Joyland circus
at the Bijou theater ran smooth as
greased lightning last night and the
audience, which tilled the theater, was
Just about aa tickled an aggregation
as ever attended any kind of a per
formance in this city.
This is the opportunity for Honolu
lans to show the kiddles a genuine
good time. A circus is something
that the growing boy or girl will cher
ish in memory for many years tc
come. They are a most uncommon
form of entertainment in Hawaii and
It is unfair to the rising generation
to cheat them out of the opportunity
when it presents itself.
' Great credit is due the management
of the Bijou for its lavish expenditure
of money in order to bring to the ter
ritory an aggregation of talent such
as is appearing in the sawdust cov
ered ring at that theater each even
ing. The cost has been considerable
and a large corps of helpers is spe
cially engaged in addition to the per
formers. Society appears to have
taken up the circus idea and repre
sentatives of the best known families
of Honolulu have been on hand at
both of the performances to date.
There are several acts that are
worthy of headline space In vaudeville
and which are attractions extraordi
nary for a circus. There are orbers
that are genuine circus acts and be
long nowhere but in the sawdust
ring. There is a large family of
clowns any one of whom will delight
the heart of the youngsters. There is
one of those circus horses whose name
is Billy, but should be Beauty, and
there are a couple of handsome circus
riders to handle Billy. There are
tumblers, and good ones, balancers of
all kinds, trapeze workers, wire walk
ers and comedians other than clowns.
There is everything to make a per
formance enjoyable and nothing to
detract from that enjoyment. An
evening at the Bijou will prove a big
evening and one well spent.
