TO AVOID ALLAPUBLICITY
A Move to Exclude Reporters From
ID. A. K. Congresses.
A Decision Reported to Have Been
Made. by the National Board of the
Society to Bar Press Representa-
tiyes Mrs Fairbanks Memory.

At the last meeting of the National
Board of the National Society of the
Daughters of -the American Revolution it
was decided. so it is said, to exclude all
newspaper reporters from the meetings at
future annual congresses of the ID. A r.
This move was made. it is reported, on
account of a great many letters having
been received at the headquarters of the
society in this city from out of town
members in which they stigmatized the
conduct Of certain members at the last
II. a. r. congress as disgracefut They
said under the circumstances they were
ashamed to say that they were members
of the d. \. r.
Inasmuch as there is quite a number
of members who are newspaper CORE
spondents themselves, and who will re
port the proceedings of the congress to
their respective papers. the purpose and
aim of the board To prevent their pro-
Ceedings from becoming public viii he
threatened To a certain extent. y rule to
suspend such members who. notwith-
standing the decision of the board, will
continue to report to their papers, and
If necessary even final expulsion from
the society is spoken of.
The progressive element of the society.
which comprises a great number. COM
posed of literary workers, newspaper
editors and proprietors, az well as artists.
it is said, will resist this decision of the
board which they call ''unjustifed" and
arbitrary" to the last degree. They
say if the members would only use a
little more prudence, wisdom. and dignity
this action of excluding the press and
hiding the proceedings OF the society
hn
member of the board has been requested
to keep this move strictly secret. This
decision has caused a great stir in the
local d. A. r. circles. ana it is reported
that there are several chapters which will.
at their next regular meeting, protest
against the rule.
When seen about the matter, Mrs.
Charles w. Fairbanks, the President
General Of the D. A. R., said last night:
I don't remember any decision the
Il don't remember any decision such as
the one to which you refer having been
made by the board. 1t may have been
made however, but ! don't remember it,
The rule may have been adopted In my
absence, but really 1 don't remember.
Indeed. l really don't remember whether
the matter was discussed at the last board
meeting, but 1 will try to find out for
you
Further than this Mrs Fairbanks did
not in any manner commit herself.
AT the headquarters Of the society the
same method of Withholding information
regarding the matter was followed. There
seems to be a decided tendency on the
part of the members to keep the matter
a profound secret. But that the Ques-
ton was broached, fully discussed, and
acted upon is vouched for by a member
of the ID. y. r, who also stated that the
reason for the action taken by the board
not wish TO again expose the society 20
public ridiCule.

NOW WILL
MAKE RUM
Plan for a Great
DistiIlery
Here.
MOLASSES FROM
MANY ESTATES
Plan May Include a Debris Fatten.
ing Ranch to Provide for
Waste Fed Animals.
! IsTILLING OF RUM from mo-

N ISTILLING OF RUM from mo-
lasses which is procured from
- the various plantations of the
Islands will be the newest industry to
start in this city. There has been form
ed a corporation, the papers for which
may be introduced at any time now.
WHICH will have for it's business the
prakuring of all waste molasses from
the various estates, the making of spir-
its Sand the feeding of hogs on the re-
srTant bi-product.
There has been no site definitely fixed
onffor the location of the proposed
Pill ~, but it is thought that it will be
loeSeed in Kalihi. The supply of mo-
lasses will come from the plantations
aloSg the railroad and a large tract
which could be reached from the rail-
road is now under negotiation. Should
this be taken there will be experienced
no difficulty about the gathering Of the
raw material for distillation, the Sc
curing of the supply of fuel, or the
distribution of the raw rum and hogs,
the live and the lively products of the
distillery and feeding ranch. The stock
is said to be held in strong hands and
there is money enough in sight to in
sure the success of the scheme. The
men behind it are principally Merchant
street brokers.
The greatest difficulty in the past in
getting a favorable report upon plan
for such a distillery has been the fact
that the mills on the modern estates
use all the saccharine substance that is
~
tie molasses. The result has been all
ways before that there has been re-
luctance to get into plan which means
the use of some new system Of hand
ling the raw material, as the best rum
is made from high-value molasses.
There is now supply of the fluid on
hand to keep distillery going for
many years, and 1t Is the plan to get
down to business soon so as to prevent
the destruction of the bi-product of the
mills before the projectors of the dis
tillery can get their storage plant ready
for operation.
The decision to use the refuse to fat
ten hogs is one which has met with the
approval of some of the killers of that
meat animal and the profit in it will
be highest of either of the ventures.
um-making was tried here some years
ago, but the plant was not kept up for
long time. Within the last decade
there has been no attempt to make
this use of the refuse from sugar
mill. 1t is understood that Frank
Brown of the Hawaiian Wine Com
pany is the principal mover in the cor
poration, but last evening he refused
to discuss the matter, saying that 1T
was not ripe. Many of the expected
stockholders fail to understand the
delay, and are clamoring for the finish
ing of the organization.
