ABRAM MILLERS STATES HIS SIDE Regajrdftig tb Masonic Bazaar He Says He Sas Absolutely no Intention of Injuring the Slasons History or Ills Suit Club ts Given. To the Editor of The Chronicle : As a pure matter of defence of my self -and my - business, I ask space in your paper to reply ; to the report of the "sensational flurry" in which I am represented by a reported, as lodg ing complaint against the methods employed by the Masonio. Razaar fn raffling a valuable piano and other ar- j tides of property. L do not now have, ! never nave naa any compIaJnt what ever to make against the Masonic Ba zaar, or any meOiods it has employed or may hereafter employ in regard to a raffle. V The facts in the case are these: ' l- . Example No. 1. Several weeks ago I devised a scheme for selling suits of clothes, hand tailored, whereby a club of 75 members agreed to pay me $1 a week.- In return'I was to deliver to the club members each one a suit of tlcles of property. I do not now 'have member's selection from certain goods. Theweekly payments' were to cover a period of 25 weeks. . The club members held drawings among them selves beginning' with the first week; the member drawing the, lucky num ber received his suit of clothes and dropped, put of line,, the suit costing him $1,' and this process was contin ued for 25 weeks. . It is -easy to see that 51 members of the .club .paid $25 each for a. suit; and the twenty-four members - received . each a suit of clothes costing from one dollar to twenty-four dollars -tier suit. ThU scheme .had hardly been set on foot: Vw-v 4. T" - - ' .... I a was .. miormea , Dy solicitor Clarkson through the press that it was a gambling game, and, as such, would have to . be- discontinued. I did" not agree with the Honorable Solicitor that the plan was immoral in tendency or in violation of law; but wishing to be, and to be regarded as, a law abiding citizen, I abandoned the plan to my own great detriment, and to the inconvenience of seventy-five members of the club. . Example No. 2. The Masonic ba zaar had donated to It certain articles of property. (The title to this prop erty was in the Masonic Bazaar, just the same as the title in my suits was in me, and the only difference being the Masonic Bazaar acquired title by gift, whereas, I acquired title by pur chase.) The Masoniq Bazaar pro ceeded to raffle these articles off by a method the particular article to some person who bought a ticket at so much per. By this It will be seen that the person who held the lucky number got a great deal more than his money was worth and the thous and of patrons who held unlucky numbers got nothing. (In the case of my suits, every man who paid his money got a suit; twenty-four people out of seventy-five got suits for less than $25; but fifty-one people got suits worth $25 and paid only $25 for them.) The argument is advanced that since the Masonic Bazaar had certain property donated to It, it could dispose of the same to whomsoever, and in' Whatsoever manner it saw fit. If this be true, why could I not do the same thing with my own goods? "The Sensational Flurry" was caus ed in this way: I went to. Solicitor Clrkson's office and inquired of him the difference between my case and the case of the bazaar. He said he had Investigated the matter and had Instructed the bazaar not to proceed with the raffle. He also sent ine to the chief 'of police, with instructions to lay the mater fully before that of ficial. I complied with his request and thereuponmy Interest in the mat ter ended. I have no desire to cripple the Ma sonic Bazaar, nor to interfere in any wise with its programme. But I do have the desire, and now make the demand, that every interest and every individual shall have equality of op portunity and be given an absolutely square deal before the law, by the officials charged with the administra tion of the law. In nthpp wnrrJa ll pray for sincerity of purpose, equal- "What I have said nas been in de fense of myself and my business and has been meant in no spirit of crit icism toward the Masons of this.icity.

"Have you seen thevaudeville show at the Masonic bazaar under the direc- tlon of Prof. Keesler?" . ' i "Well, If you haven't, you are. miss- j ing. one of the -best attractions -of jts kind ever put on the. local stage." This is a specimen of conversation that is being heard on all sides to-day. Those who have visited the bazaar without exception come away delight ed with the big affair arid pleased with every feature that is connected with this interesting collection of amuse ments, things for sale, of every im aginable character, something to please everybody, and a numerous list of other attractions that are all min gled together in one happy, pleasant and crowded scene that bursts upon the eye of one entering the building like a vision of beauty, and holds the attention of the senses spell-bound so long as the visitor remains in the building. ... ."I have seen many bazaars and fancy-work exhibits and' such things, but this 4s the grandest yet," is another frequently heard, statement about the Masonic bazaar being" held this week. It is said that the bazaar, to which the merchants, of the city and others so generously donated, has on hand for sale almost everything that could be imagined from the finest pieces , of fancy-work to' a barrel of potatoes' or a mowing machine. And the purchas ers too are finding many good' things for sale which they consider bargains because their purchases are both satis factory and are procured at reason able prices. It is no uncommon sight to see a patron of the bazaar leave with both arms full of a big load of purchases, Including groceries, fancy work, dainties, and numerous' other things that make the bazaar so pop ular with the crowds. The ladies, to' whom the success of tha bazaar -is so largely due, have giv en of their time and labor most gen erously and then- efforts arebelng ap preciated not only by the Masons but by patrons of the bazaar, at large. There are many centres of interest within the four walls of the .building which continue to hold the attention of large crowds without wearying them for a moment. The entire build ing is a mass of booths, bunting, arti cles, whose number is almost without end, and crowds of people who enjoy their trip around the line of booths and to the various other attractions so that they ar,e swept on with the tide of visitors and never once do they have an opportunity to lose interest, for there isn't a least thing ln the en tire bazaar but what is sufficient to at tract a good sized number of patrons every minue. . The bazaar Is so far meeting with ail the success that those interested looked for and it is probable that the attendance during the remainder . of the week will increase eo that the best times are yet to come., PERSONAL WSNTION.

HAWAII DEFENSES ARE INCREASED Island Legielatnre Takes Steps to Bar Japanese National Guard Re cruited to Full Strength for Protec tion in Case of Possible Conflict. HONOLULU, HAWAII, April 14. The Legislature of Hawaii is taking all possible steps to comply with the wishes of the War Department at Washington in furnishing information as to what Hawaii can do in the way of self-defense in the event of a pos sible war. rt ' ' ' Several bills have been introduced Into the Legislature aTong these lines. One bill provides for -the preparation of an accurate list of those able to bear arms within the Territory. Another bill aims directly at the Japanese living here, making it a misdemeanor for Orientals to organize Into companies for drill, to take ptrt in any military drill, or to belong to a society or school organized for the purpose of instruction in drill without the written coeent of the Governor. During the last war excitement of a 3ear ago there were many stories in circulation of Hawaiian Japanese being drilled by Japanese officers here as representatives of their govern ment. It is doubtful" if there were any substational ground for such re ports, but the passage of the bill re ferred to will prevent any further ap prehension of the plantation Japanese being organized into an army corps for the purpose of assisting a Japan ese fleet in capturing Honolulu. In the last session of the Legisla ture a bill was passed forbidding the ownership or possession of firearms of any description, and of ammuni tion, unless the same was reported to the various clerks of the different counties. It is understood that the local com mandant of the National Guard, as well as the commandants of the regu lar army post here, is in constant communication with the War Depart ment regarding the status of - affairs in Hawaii. - . . A few months ago several members of the intelligence department of the" War Department visited Hawaii and made a -thorough investigation into conditions, studying the topography of the country from the standpoint of practical military men. During the last few weeks the Na tional Guard of Hawaii has been re cruited up to full regimental strength and efforts are now being made to organize extra companies to be train ed in the use of coast defense guns, In order that the regular force to be stationed here may be augmented without delay in cases of emergency.
