SPEAK ENGLISH, SIFTS OR HUN m SALOON License Commissioners Talk Over New Policy TOOMUCHNOSAVEY Ruling May Put Many Orientals Out of Business (Prom Saturday's Advertiser.) If the determination arrived at yesterday by the boaTd of license commissioners be put into force next Juno, when all liquor licenses will linvo to bo renewed, only those who can speak anil Tead English will be eligible, to become licensees. Too great a difficulty in getting at the facts of an alleged breach of its regulations yesterday afternoon convinced the board of liquor commissioners that people who do not talk English should not hold saloon licenses. As a result a policy has already been formed, which will probnbly bo put into force on June 1, and which will put many aliens out of the liquor business and keep qjhers out, No race lines nro intended by the commission according to an interpretation of the policy given by ono commissioner. A Valuablo Prtvilego. "I bclicvo that wo nro handling a valuable privilege," said Commissioner mown. "Too vnlunblo to Do given to those who ennnot read the instructions of tho board. I do not bcliovo wo should have to do our business through interpreters." So the chances now stand in favor of nil Japanese nml Chinese or others now holding licenses who can not read tho book of instructionsjhey receive, getting tho ax. Sasaki's license ends on Juno 1 and will not bo renewed. By tnlting that nction tho commissioners commit themselves to their new policy and to show that this was not intended as a punishment for the particular offenso that brought the saloon before tho board, it was shut down for ono week besides. This sentence commences today. Notice will also be served on Sasaki that his license will not be renewed, in' order that he may sell out to someone eligible to bold a license. Prost Offender. The case that impressed tho commission with the necessity of this policy was that of Sasaki, proprietor of tho Prost Saloon. Sasaki was cited to "ap pear for Bcrving a man on his premises who was not only drunk, but was also on the tabu list. It turned out that not only had the proprietor been in Japan almost ever since tho licenso was granted, but that ho had returned only when inndo nware by cablo of tho citation and was even thou in tho hospital. Ilia attorney appeared for him. What i3 a Jag7 Tho barkeepers and assistant manager wcro all present nml gave thoir side of the case which was to tho effect that the man wasn't drunk and that they had served directly to his friend and not to him nuywny. Fenncll who had watched tho man, was not only convinced that he was drunk, hut produced court records showing that ho had been arrested immediately after-jvnrfl- s nud had pleaded guilty to the charge. "1 move that be instructed to go out and get drunk himself so that ho '11 know in futuro what n jag is," snapped Chairman Cooko after four different people bad stnted through interpreters, that there was no jag in cvidcuco whatovor. All the Japanese wcro put through a vigorous examination aB to their knowl- edge of tho law and it wns found that they hadn't any. So rank was their ignoranco that their own attorney was surprised. Tho commissioners made no secret of their astonishment and "a sice bunch to have a. licenso" was the expressed and unanimous opinion. "J don't think there is ono Bpark of intelligence in tho whole crowd," exclaimed one commissioner when tho examination was over. " Macfarlane Up. Macfarlane & Co., by its manager, Mr. Aucrbach, then went on tho carpet for selling liquor to Ulli, the Kcwalo blind-piggc- r who wnB arrested by Inspector Fenncll Jnst week. 1'ennell had brought in evidence the Mncfarlane books showing n two months' account with Ulii in which many items, though posted in that account, were under different names. Mr. Aucrbach ox- - plained the incident by Btating that the orders were brought in by tho Portuguese driver and that as ho had not personally inspected tho books his suspicions had not been aroused. Tho board accepted his explanation, but warned him that thcro would bo trouble ahead if it ever occurred again. Special Privileges Again. Tho Young and Monna hotels both addressed tho board by mail asking for another special privilogo permitting thorn to servo guests with liquor in thoir own rooms in thoso two hostel-ties- .

Last night, after a careful rechecking of the list of those saved and a comparison with the lists obtained from Liverpool by cable of all who were aboard the liner, the White Star officials announced their estimate of the dead at sixteen hundred and thirty-fiv- e, which includes those who died of fright or exposure after being taken off the sinking vessel in the lifeboats. Bit by bit the events of those fearful few hours, between the time when the iceberg ripped the death gash through the steel side of the liner and the time the remnants of her company were taken aboard the Carpathia, are being learned, and into the many tales of heroism are creeping the few incidents of cowardice and of error .of judgment that must be inseparable from a castrophe of the Titanic nature. In contrast to the heroic words of Captain Smith, megaphoned through the uproar when the first intimation of panic was observed "Be British, my men," comes the explanation of J. Bruce Ismay,. chairman of the board of directors of the White Star line, a survivor,, as tcTwhy he is one of those ashore when so many of the regular-passenger- s of the linerwent to a watery grave. "A boat was being: lowered. It was half empty, and I got into it," he says. HELD BACK BY EBVOLVEBS.

Captain Rostron, of tho Carpathia, in a statement given out yesterdajr beforo his vessel sailed, praised tho pluck of tho women rescued by his crow. Despito tho heartrending incidents of tho wreck, with their sons and husband drowning before thoir eyes, and tho hardships experienced during thoso dreadful hours when they woro afloat in tho lifeboats, waiting for help to roach .thenv tho women displayed the greatest herdlsm. Beforo tho special committee of tho senate, which is hero holding an investigation into tho causes responsible for tho record catastrophe, Captain Rostron told a dramatic tale yesterday morning. The first intimation aboird tho Carpathia of tho torriblo happenings nearby camo at thirty-fiv- o minntc after midriight, when tho distress call of tho Titanic wireless operator was picked up. As soon as he could answer tho call and learn tho exact location of tho foundering liner, ho ordered full steam ahead and mado direct for the spot. Beforo the Carpathia reached the scene of tho wreck, the Titanic had. disappeared. Tho first 'boatload of survivors were taken aboard at ten minutes-aftefour Surfday morning. Tho last lifeboat was picked up four hours later, later, after which the Carpathia cruised up and down in search of other possible survivors. As his vessel passed through tho waters which bad just closed over sixteen hundred pcoplo, an Episcopal clergyman, ono of his passengers, recited th words of the burial service, in the prayers of which the hundreds aboard tli Carpathia joined. Captain Smith of the Titanic played the hero during the awful disaster, according to the stories told by tho survivors yesterday. He died gallantly-afte- r placing all the women in tho boats except those who refused to leave their husbands. An impending panic was averted by Captain Smith's terso megaphoned! command: "Bo British, my men!" Col. Archibald Oracle was one of tho last to leave tho ship aa she tooif her final plunge. Just as sho was disappearing he dived from her side and swam to ono of the rafts whore some twenty others stood fon-fou- r hours, not daring to movo for fear of capsizing. i All of thorn repeated tho Lord's prayer in unison.

He declared that Captain Smith was undoubtedly acting under the orders of Ismay in speeding up his engines to mate a record trip for the Titanic on her disastrous maiden voyage. NEW YORK, April 10. The senate conunltteo investigating the TiUnlff dlsaster today summoned J. Bruce Ismay before it to testify as to the wreck. Ismay was visibly nervous under the questioning of the committee as to the facts of the tragedy. He wag asked as to the circumstances under whlcfe he himself left tho Titanic and whispered that a boat was being lowered, half-empt- y, and he got into it. He said he will court the fullest inquiry and declares he has nothing to conceal. Ho gave the details of the voyage. Ismay said that the Titanic 'a engines were designed to run eighty rovola-tio- ns and were only turning seventy-fiv- e at the time of the crash. The Titanic carried gear for sixty boats, but only twenty boats were actually on board, which, Ismay testified, fulfilled the law. Captain Rostron of the Carpathia, which picked up hundreds of survivors of the disaster, followed Mr. Ismay on the stand. In statements today the Whito Star company disclaimed responsibility for the wreck, declaring it an "act of God." A fresh sensation occurred today when it was learned that the surviving' members of the crew hod been smuggled off the Carpathia and held incommunicado beforo the vessel cam to New York. The crew Will sail soon for Europe. The surviving officers will testify before the senate investigation committee. Many survivors, in hospitals from the shock, are improving.

A liitlo mora than a week ago she was tho victim of a cowardly -attack by a certain Korean gambler and general ne'er-do-wel- l, known as Pok Chan Oik, and who is now bound over for investigation by the grand jury. While Omachi was working in tho washhouso adjacent to tho Japanese quarters, Tuesday, April 0, th,o Korean crept up behind her and seized her around tho waist. Thu girl, handicapped by her blindness, struggled violent-l- y to free herself and, in spitd of tho assailant's threat that ho would kill her with, a knifeif. she opposed him, sho overpowerod him for a moment, broko away and fled to tho house. Thoro ho overtook her and forced her into a room. Again she escaped him and by virtue of her familiarity with the room fied to the lanai and took Tefuge with her dog who was chained up in the yard. A Portuguese boy, who was climbing in a mango tree, hoard tho girl's cries and ran into iho yard, whoreupon tho cowardly Korean lied. The news spread rapidly 'and that same night the Koreans of the settlement, as much aroused by the outrage ns tho rest of the community, informed tho polico that a man who 'answered tho description of tho blind kirl's assailant was hiding in their settlement and was packing his belongings. He was captured without difficulty, given a hearing tho following day before Judge Puuki and bound over for further investigation by tho grand jury. .

During that time tho local representatives of tho federal government were paying tho expenses of these thirty-si- x people at the immigration station, paying tho salaries of several men to deal with them and cabling to Washington in their dilemma. This is the story which tho immigrants told yesterday through an Interpreter who could speak their language and understand their complaints. Thero is a certain limit to oven Bussian patience and there are certain features of western immigration methods which do not appeal strongly to the little colony of newcomers from Siberia who were recently released from, tho federal immigration station. Theso people have decided that so far as expressing indignation, wrath and sorrow in Honolulu is concerned Bussian is about as useful ns Hittite. Tho story they tell of their trials in making themselves understood, in telling how they camo hero and why they came, explains thoir exasperation. It seems that the man who was assigned tho work of interpreting tho fluent Russian of "these Cossacks, who had already suffered much en route, was a Polo who had understood Russian at somo remote period, who believed that ho still had a grip on the intricacies of the sister language and who decided to have a shot at it anyway. Of course tho immigration people did not know whether ho was talking Polish, Slavok. Lithuanian, Russian or Servian. It all sounds alike and it all sounds equally bad, hut the poor Russians soon learned that whatever be was talking it was not Russian. In soma fashion they understood his questions, but they soon saw that he did not understand their nnswers. This brave boy went through with it just the samo and said tho things that sounded likely and fitting. Sad Misunderstanding. It was believed that tho thirty-si- x pcoplo who came over hero on tho Nilo after skipping out of Russia without bidding an official farewell, wero assisted or contract laborers and while they were being investigated tho whole party just had to sit about and wonder what it was all about, for it was not until yesterday thnt they understood why they bad been held and what was wanted of them. The interpreter had never been able to tell them and they are by no means a stupid party. Now that they are in tho territorial hands and have had an opportunity to bear and speak their own language their trouble are evaporating and tho whole party will ho off to Maui or Hawaii within a week. According to their account of thoir journoy and tho trials en voyage, the whole party had to leave the Czar's empire without passports, becauso no more are being issued, and every man woman and child of them is liable to five years imprisonment ir iioy return. Ono lad was a soldier and deserted to join tho party, several of tho boys are liable for military servico and would bo dealt with in summary fashion if they returned. Thoy aro all just a trifle nervous about their status hero and are not quite suro that the big pi)v of the Russian bear cannot reach them in Hawaii Looted as Well. Arrangements were made to "bring QqjcV? them to Honolulu through a Russian agent in tho Far East. It nppcars that this gentleman undertook to relievo them of all tho spare change thoy had about them after they had paid their legitimate expenses and made a fine haul by takincr from them sums rauc- - ing from ten to forty dollars, so that when thoy landed hero every ono of them was penniless. This was, of course, depressing, and then whon thoy arrived hero and thaMn-vestigatio- went through n conducted through the medium of their friend tho "interpreter," thoy were not encouraged. Thoy aro all Cossacks, most of thorn skilled laborers of one sort or another, and there is scarcoly ono of them who did not sacrifice land, property, household goods and other possessions to come hero. Abovo all things thoy aro going to bo American citizens at once, if possible, and, if not at onco, just as soon as it can bo arranged. This eagorness was expressed to Doctor Clark a day or so ago, through Interpreter Swadcn, who, by tho way. caiialk Russian, and yesterday tho papers upon nuicu rue requirements ror citizenship wero stipulated woro distributed among them. Every boy in the party had to have ono of these papers and each and every ono had a scoro of questions to ask. In addition every youngster wants to know how soon ho or sho will bo safely ensconced in school, learning 'the marvelous English language Somo of them aro machinists, others arc skilled tradesmen nnd farmers. Ono littlo fellow, Gabriel Seroda by name, is a sculptor, a stonccuttor, an engraver and much besides. In tho absence of tools ho is amusing himself cutting designs on drinking glasses with a blunt necdlo as his only implement nnd has done somo remarkably good work.

Tho house has passed tho Henry bill requiring the making public df campaign funds in presidential campaigns, with a penalty of $5000, (From Sunday's Advortlsor.) Tho morchants' association up with tho local steamship will take agencies tho matter of boats on tho vessels of tho different lines which call at Honolulu. President Ctignoux had a conference with several members of tho .association yesterday concerning the mat-tor- , and it was decided thnt tho organization had a right to make such in quiries. Lotters will be addressed to tho various companies, and will form tho basis of a discussion at a future mooting of tho association. "In tho first place," said President GignoiiT yosterdny, ,"J bellevo it is fully within our province to make an investigation of this subject, ns a mat-to- r of community interest. In tho second place, tho morchants' association is ono of tho paroutsof tho promotion committee engaged in a cnmpnlgn to bring tourists here by the thousands and tho more thousands it gets the moro wo appreciate its efforts. That being tho enso tho association is interested in knowing whether thoro is Bufll-cieaccommodation and. boats to take off all passengers nnd crow in caso ol disaster. Hawaiian Boatmen Best, "As far nR I havo been ablo to learn tho Inter-Islan- d company is well equipped with boats and nbovo all has tho most expert men in the world u handle them. Tho Hawuiiaus cannot ho excelled in the handling of ship's boats, particularly in bringing them through tho surf ns they nro rcquirod to do in so many pnrts of the Islonds. " President Gignoux rofers also to the fact that tho 'United States government appears to be one of tho most llagrnnt violators of its own rules. "If a disaster should overtnko ono of our transports at sen hundreds of men, women nnd children would lose their lives. The transports nro poorly equipped as to boats. They curry about 1000 people nt times, and tho boats aro not sufficient to cnTry n fourth of that number. Tho govern- - mont docs not set a very good ex nmpio.'' (hit tiiTi i TO In tow of tho tug Hercules tho groat gate for tho Pearl Harbor drydock loft San Francisco yesterday for Honolulu, says a cablo dispatch. Tho gato was constructed by tho Union Iron Works of San Francisco and is tho largest structure of tho kind over built on the Pacific Coast. Tho cost of bringing it hero will be in tho neighborhood oi $15,000. Tho tug will take tho caisson directly into Pearl Harbor, whero it will be hold until tho dock work is completed hy tho San Francisco Bridgo Company. Tho trip may .tako about ton, er possibly, twolve days. Tho gate was contracted for delivery this spring, it being planned to havo it ready sovcral months in advance of tho completion of tho last section of tho dock. Owing to tho mnny difficulties encountered by tho engineers in holding tho bottom of tho excavation down, nnd tho possibility that thero will bo an unusual delay becauso of tho discovery of springs at tho bottom, the gato may not bo used for a year and n half. Tho caisson is 125 feet 4',4 inches in length, 43 feet 0 inches in height, and will havo a width of fifteen feet on tho upper deck and twenty feet nt tho stringers. Tho contract prico was $147,000 with dolivcry at Pearl Harbor, so that tho cost of transportation falls to tho Union Iron Works. The big gato is equipped with ten thirty.inch valves nnd two twenty-inc- h valves. Each vnlvo will bo operutcd by an independent electric motor, Tho valves are to bo used for filling the dock. Under ordinary circumstances only a few of them will bo used nt one time. In cubo of emergency, whore it is desired to fill tho dock rnpdlly, all tho valves can bo operated at tho same time. Tho caisson that serves as gato for tho big drydock at Hunter's Point It equipped with five twenty-inch- , valves. POLICE TIEATEN CLOSE CHINATOWN SAN FHANCISCO, April 22.
