raised by the Turk case is delicate
one. A vast part OF the civilized
world comedies certain evils as being
necessary. The particular one at
issue is regarded as protection to
society in that it draws away from
those who would do right an ele-
mept OF temptation, aud conters the
impulses OF God-given attribute
upon those who are apparently able
to take care OF them. The saiotliest
Chrietiap in Honolulu cannot but
admit however hesitating'y-that,
with the number Of tourists, sailors
and soldiers coming to this port the
virtue and purity of that best side
OF humanity can only be properly
safe-guarded by resorts. A broad
question in the premises is hether
or not resorts on modern lines are
not preferable to japanese dens and

In his objection, as aet forth in
his veto message, he says that "while
the Ssnate may sit in special session,
au extra or special session of
the House is unknown TO the
law" What law, may we ask.
Conceding that the Senate may
be convened in special session,
it can never be convened by il
self in extra ses.i,n without the
House. The Senate has no right to
aot alone in appropriatiug money,
but both the S,nats AMI House,

1t is privately understood that the
reason Houss members supported
the raising OF district magistrate
ealaries ths other day was that the
appropriations are only for six
months. following which the duty OF
adjusting salaries will bs in the
hands OF the County supervisors. 1t
was case, in other words, OF "shift-
ing" responsibilities, with the sd,
vantage on the side OF the House
members in the direction OF favor
with the district magistrate.
Technically, the Governor was
right in his objection to the salary
bill ofthe House. The Senate may
be called in extra session, but when
the HOUSE is also called the situation
becomes one OF the Legislature In
"extra" or Especial" session, and in
that premise tbs heading OF the
expense bill was wrong. But was
not our distinguished Governor, in
submitting the objection, splitting
hairss Any legal basis for the OBJ
lection seems awfully farfetchad.
We feel quite certain that the public
aud the President, would never have

lion 10 be pu upon the incident is
that the Governor has appropriated
to himself ths responsibility of
tutoring he Legislature in the fac
points Of the English language.

GEBHART IS GONE.
Manager of Elite Bowling Alleys
Leaves Creditors Behind.

A number of people will note with regret
the departure from Topeka of J. J. Geb-
hart, formerly manager of the Elite
Bowling alleys, who left suddenly Thurs
day for Salt Lake City. Utah, without
paying 500 in bills he owed around town.
Mr.. Gebhart'S leaving was so sudden, in
deed, that he failed to settle up with E.
leys, for about 500 received during several
days just prior to his going away, and
the oversight may get him into trouble.
A few days ago Mr. Gebhart advised his
numerous creditors that If they would call
at the Elite Bowling alley today they
would receive their money. He left on
Thursday afternoon and all this morning
a string of bill collectors and people of
whom Gebhart had borrowed money, have
been applying at the bowling alley for
the payment he promised them. Hoen-
schel said today:
"Gebhart went away without paying me
the money that he had taken In at the
alleys during a week past. He was to
have met me last night and settled up,
but he got out of town during the after
noon, taking his wife with him. under
stand he is in Salt Lake City. do not
intend to prosecute him except as a last
resort in recovering my money. II he
pays up the matter will be dropped. His
other creditors about town have bills
amounting to 800 or more, but do not
believe they can get action on him.
Gebhart formerly was employed as
foreman in the Western Wooden Mills.
He has been employed for several months
by Hoenschel as manager of the Elite
Bowling alley at a salary of SIS per week.
Mr.. Gebhart must have saved most of it,
as he seems to have subsisted principally
on credit during his residence here. He
disposed of his personal effects before
leaving.

BRADBURY MAY DO 1T.
Proposed to Give Him Forfeited
Bridge Contract.

Negotiations were opened up today
with Will Bradbury for the purpose of
having him rebuild the East Fourth
street bridge across the Shun ganunga-
If he is able to get the material quick
Iy, the city will at its council meeting
next week, declare the $25 of the Mid
land bridge company forfeited. and will
set Bradbury to work on the job.
The Midland Bridge company has
claimed that it was unable to get
bridge timbers of the necessary size,
and has delayed the work for months.
The city council is thoroughly disgust
ed and will try now to have the bridge
fixed by somebody else.
The Midland Bridge company has
shown so little interest in the contract
that it has never even signed the con-
tract prepared by the city engineer for
the work.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Speaker Cannon,
resenting what he deemed an insult
from John Herman J. Schulteis, chair
man of the national executive commit
tee of the Knights OK Labor, sum-
imarily ordered Mr.. Schulteis from the
Speakers room at the capitol today with
the parting Injunction to the labor lead
er never to darlzen his door again.
Mr.. Schulteis made his first call upon
the speaker several days ego with the
demand that Representative Livernash
of San Francisco be made chairman of
the committee on labor and that Rep
Preventative Wynn of the same city, be
made a member of the same commit
tee.
AS both these members are members
of the minority, Mr.. Cannon explained
that their committee assignments would
depend on the recommendation of
Representative Williams, the minority
floor leader, but it would be impossible
to make Mr.. Livernash chairman Of the
committee as the chairTnanshipS would
go to the majority.
When Mr.. Sehulteis appeared before
the speaker today, he announced in
an Offensive manner that the labor
committee had been packed"

A SHAKE-UP.AT OTTAWA.
Several of the Santa Fe Depot Force
Are Let Out.

ottawa, Kas, Dec. 4.-Representa-
tives of the Santa Fe company have
been here for day or SO investigating
conditions at the freight depot. and as
a result of their inquiries several of the
employees at the freight station have
been discharged. Those who have been
notified of their discharge are A. G.
Stewart, freight agent; Rich Holland,
day car clerk; Simp White, bill clerk.
Discharges were made yesterday after
noon by Special Agent German, of the
santa Esa.
A. C. Stewart said that the move
was the result of Investigations con-
corning complaints of differing at the
depot. The force had been put through
the sweat and had admitted to hav-
ing picked up scattering pieces of
candy from boxes and pals which
had been broken open, but nothing fur
Their. Also, some of the members of
the force had admitted to having
drank beer in the freight depot, which
is against the rules of the company.
The liquor which they admitted to
have drank was such as they had pur-
chased by themselves, however, and
in no case had it been taken from rail-
road cars.

FIRE AT GLEED HOME.
Residence on Western Avenue
Badly Damaged.

J. Willis Gleed's residence at 1868 West
ern avenue was badly damaged by fire
this afternoon. The roof was badly burn
ed and the damage from smoke and wa
ter will be heavy. The fire started about
o'clock
1t is supposed that the fire started from
a defective fue. When the fire depart
ment arrived it was burning furiously and
nearly the whole of the roof was a mass
of flames. The aerial truck ladders were
raised and the firemen cut a hole in the
roof through which they fought the
flames It was some. time before the
blaze was brought under control.
