ABOUT OFFICERS CLUB
GRAND JURY INVESTIGATES AN
EMMELUTH CHARGE.
An Error Of Steward at Beginning Was
Corrected-oficer Outlines the Past
And Present Practice.

The Grand Jury has taken up actively
the charges Of Representative Emme-
luth that free drinks have been supplied
members of the Legislature by that in
stitution during the session. Mr.. EN-
meluth has already submitted his tes-
timony, and number of officers of the
Guard and of the club as well as out
siders have made statements
From the evidence submitted it APP
pears that from misunderstanding on
the part of the Japanese steward there
had been a slight departure from old
rules. When this became known, how
ever, IL was promptly corrected.
The invitations sent to members of the
Legislature, reporters and others are
identical with those given to all United
States army officers that pass through
here for Manila. The form is as fol-
lows:
AT the request of the Board Of Cow
ernors, the Officers Club, National
Guard of Hawaii, has the pleasure of
extending the privileges of the club to
Mr.. Blank for the period of blank
days" This is signed by the secretary
and dated. Together with the invita-
ton is a card of admission which is not
transferable.
This invitation is identical with that
given all army officers calling here as
well as notables visiting the Islands, So
says a prominent National Guard Off
NCls II has never Detn the DIdCllCt
and was not the intention that any
drinks should be served free of charge,
nor that any single drinks should be
served at all. Guests holding these in
vitations are expected to buy the bot
tie and keep it there for use from time
to time. During the session the Jap
anese steward complained that some
guests were not paying for their sup
plies. He was instructed to stop that
forthwith, and l believe he did so.
Since January not over SIS worth of
! liquor has been brought into the club.
L am sure that would not go far in sup
plying a Legislature with free drinks.
LAS for any intention of influencing
members of the Legislature l can say
that nothing could have been farther
| from the ideas of the club when these
invitations were extended. AS a matter
of fact a large number of the members
of the club haven't given a rap about
any of the bills thus far presented be-
fore the Legislature. Another thing Is
that politics are absolutely prohibited
in the club. Not only are members en-
Joined from discussing political matters
there but the same is expected Of
guests.
THE invitations sent out We're the
most innocent things in the world and
were simply in line with an old prac-
tice. | suppose if we had not sent them
some of the Legislators would have
been making speeches condemn1ng us
for being selfish and not extending TO
them the privileges usually granted to
prominent men,"

DETECTS EAVESDROPPERS

Now comes Sweden, also a land of
inventors, with an important contribu-
ton to the telephone in the shape of
an ingenious device for detecting the
telephone "eaVesdropper." If the man
who has had experience with these
Listeners on the line" were consulted
in regard to a device for abatino this
nuisance he would doubtless ask for an
IA, vn,.ofn mat would fill the listener
with about ! 300 volts. A shock of this
kind would no doubt act as a powerful
deterrent upon those who are in the
habit of listening to telephone CONVEX
sations between other parties.
The Swedish inventor, however con-
templates no violence of this kind. HIS
device merely enables the user of
telephone to tell when a third party
is listening to his conversation. Press
ing button connects the listener de-
tecter" with the telephone. The in
trusion of central" is indicated by the
illumination of a red Maltese cross be-
hind the glass front of a metal box,
which remains lighted up as long as
central is on the wire. The intrusion
of third party is indicated by the
illumination of n white cross. In this
way the listeners get the double cross
from the Swedish invention. If the con-
versation is of a confidential nature the
user may refrain from talking until the
Illuminated crosses disappear.
1t is easy to see that this Swedish
device will fill a lOng-felt want and is
certain to become very popular The
discreet housewife doesn't care to have
all neighbors know what she is ordering
for Sunday dinner. and If Mrs. Johnson
desires TO communicate with Mrs.
Smith her opinion of Mrs. Browns new
| bonnet there is no reason why Mrs
Brown should break in" and listen &c
