DOLE WOULD
SIGN THE BILL
HIS SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE
BEER LAW TO BE PUT IN AN
OTHER BILL

An effort is to be made in the leSis-
lature to incorporate in another act
the provisions which Governor Dole
stated in his veto message were lacking
in the retail malt liquor law. Repre-
sentative ChillingwOrth will offer an
amendment to Senate bill Number u,
providing the police regulations and
other requirements which the executive
described.
Governor Dole expressed himself ds
ready to sign an act similar to the one
he vetoed, II 1t was amended, and only
quick action in the Senate prevented
Cn agreement that would have made
veto unnecessary. When the veto
message was received Representative
Chlllingworth. as the mover of the bill,
though not it's author and not anxious
to claim credit for it, went to consult
with the Governor regarding amend
ments. The representative proposed To
withdraw the bill, amend it and send it
to the Governor again. Governor Dole
stated that he would sign the bill If it
were amended to include the missing
provisions and this was to have been
the programme.
While the matt9r was being discuss
ed, however the Senate overrode the
veto. 1t was decided that the House
would have to take the same course
and consequently the bill was passed
over the veto.

NEW York FIRM

Territorial Seal And Get
Indignant When Asked For
References,

Secretary George Il. Carter is engage
ed in a warm correspondence with q
New York firm regarding the Terri
torial SEAL an impression of which he
refused to send to the firm. The Sec
retary received a letter hOtly resenting
his proposal that the firm send him
der that he might know to whom the
seal was going.
The New York concern. which ap-
pears to be a firm of engravers, sent u
letter some time ago asking for the
seal. Carter remembered a number OF
frauds which have been practiced on
the Mainland, with the aid of State and
Territorial seals, and not knowing VINO
his correspondents We're he wrote sug-
gesting that they forward some sort of
reference. The reply that came was a
warm one. Carter was informed that
he didn't know his business, that near
ly all the other secretaries had sent
their seals without question and that
Hawaii and himself were only a small
potato, and could keep their old seal
Secretary Carter has sent an answer

THE GIVE
AND TAKE
ON THE
TELEPHONE PLANT
WHAT THE COMMITTEE OF THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. AND
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION SAY.

The following is the report made by
the joint committee of the Chamber of
Commerce and the Merchants Assocla-
ton. to the Chamber of Commerce and
will be made to the Merchants Assoc
citation at the meeting of that body
this afternoon.
Your committee, after carefully
questioning the experts, have arrived
at the following conclusion, viz:
"tirst-The company have neglected
to cable wires as far as possible with
in the following districts, viz; King
Alakea, Hotel Merchant and Queen
streets.
"Second-That there are number of
dead cables and dead wires on many
of the streets and wires so crowded on
cross-arms and distance between some
poles so great as to make it impossi-
bic to maintain any kind of a satisfac-
tory service.
"Third-Glass insulators should be
used instead of porcelain knobs on
cross-arms, which are in a bad con-
dition.
"Fourth-That the King street cable
is in a very bad condition, and has been
so for long time, is borne out by the
statement of the Superintendent that
10 per cent of the wires in said cable
are out of use, and will account for
complaints of many subscribers.
"Fifth-Outside force insufficient to
expedite The work of repairing ana re-
novating.
"Sixth-Apparent ignorance on the
part of the company of what are dead
and what are live cables, entering the
tower, as well as what are dead and
what are live wires on the poles.
''Seventh-The necessity for more and
better operators. From the general res-
timony of the experts, your committee
are satisfied that the cables and wires
of the Mutual Telephone Company,
with few exceptions, are in a very bad
condition, and unless Immediately Wig
orous steps are taken to correct these
conditions we cs1not look for any i'm
prOvement in the telephone service
The report is signed by F. w Mac
farlane, James A. Kennedy. c. l..
Wight and w. Pfotenhauer.
The experts upon whose testimony
the report is based We're j. w. Pratt
Robert ]. Pratt and Charles S. Crane
The committee reported that they had
sent copy of the testimony of the eX-
perts to the president of the Mutual
Telephone Company together with
questions suggested by it, and had ask
ed for a reply The president had re-
tanth would ask more time in which
to obtain the desired information
The testimony of the experts was to
the effect that present methods of con-
struction were so faulty that it would
be impossible to maintain a good plant
out of it unless present methods were
abandoned. Among the specifications
We're: Poles too far apart; cross-arms
over-crowded, and porcelain instead of
glass insulators
The report was accepted
r: d. Tenney and F. NJ. Swanzy, the
legislative committee made a carefully
prepared report of the legislation com
pleted and inchoate, in the Legislature.
Every bill was carefully analysed, and
the report as presented gave a very
lucid idea of the work of the legisla-
ture
The Chamber adopted a resolution
placing itself on record as opposing all
bills providing for exemption of prop
erty from taxation.

WAS FRAUD
IN THE AIR?
NEARLY SWEPT
CREW OVERHEARD
CAPTAIN ULUNAHELE AND CREW
RIED OFF THEIR FEET BY SEAS

The wind has been blowing a gale
for the last SO hours and the seas along
the Wiudward side of the islands, have
been very high. Captain Moses Ulu-
nahaele and three of the crew of the
schooner Kawailani, narrowly escaped
being washed overheard yesterday af-
ternoon by the heavy seas on the
northern side of Oahu.
The schooner loaded with $50 bags of
rice was coming out of Heeia passage
in the face of the strong northeasterly
wind. Captain Moses was al the
wheel. Two of the men were for
ward, % watch the jib and fore sails
while three more of the crew were aft,
to watch the main sheets Suddenly,
a huge wave broke over the port side
of the vessel about midships, and raced
along the stern. All three of the sail
ors by the mainmast were washed off
their feet. A second wave followed,
then a third.
Every movable object on the decks
was picked up and swept overheard.
A case in which were kept the cooking
utensils of the vessel, was caught by
the second wave and dashed against
the face of the man at the wheel. Cap
tain Moses was knocked off his feet
and partially stunned by the force with
which the box and wave dashed against
him. He held onto the wheel though
and kept the vessel headed right In
the channel.
Fortunately a lull came between
waves and the sailors and captain were
able to get to their feet and sail the
vessel out, past the danger line. The
vessel arrived this morning early from
Koolau ports. She will probably sail
next Monday OF Tuesday for usual
Koolau ports
