HOLTON STORIES ARE NOT TRUE
Manager of Washburn Dramatic Club
CoFrccts False Statements

Stories have been current for the
last few days to the effect that the
members of the High School Dramatic
club conducted themselves in an un-
seemly manner during their stay in
Holton where they presented their
play last Saturday night. Reports Of
their trip printed in Holton have gone
so far as to state that the manage
ment of the hotel where they passed
the night turned them out bag and
baggage because of their noisy con-
duet.
The truth Of these stories and re-
ports is denied most emphatica by
all those who were on the trip. The
party was chaperoned by Miss Ger
trude Tracy, Miss Nellie Lincoln and
Mrs. Dora Carr, and they are unan1-
nous in saying that not a single
thing occurred on the trip which would
warrant in any way the suggestion that
the members of the Dramatic club or
any one of them, conducted themselves
in any but proper manner.
These stories which have been cir
cuIated around, are absolutely false, -
said Arthur D. Gray, the manager Of
the Dramatic club, who was seen last
night. There Is not the least founda-
ton for any Of them Our party left
HoItOn on the best of terms with the
hotel management and the report that
we were requested to leave in oisgracs

THEY WANT
BETTER LAW

The local saloon men propose to draw
up liquor law. This was decided up
ON at meeting of liqubr men held on
Wednesday afternoon.
Senator-elect C. ]. Mccarthy acted
as chairman, d. II. Lewis was elected
treasurer and Harry A. Juen secretary.
On motion, this organization will be
permanent, for the time being at least
The forty liquor men present gave
their views on the present law.
Many favored high license while
others wanted 1t only with the provise
that licenses were restricted to citizena:
Everyone was in favor OF the Issuance
OF licenses to citizens only.
1t was also clearly shown that those
present favored the Issuance of licenses
only with the consent of the Board of
Supervisors who should also be vested
with authority to revoke.
Much was said in favor of the limita-
ton OF the number OF saloons in pro-
portion to the number OF Inhabitants.
1t was decided to secure data on this
matter from the mainland.
A. Wirtz, w. C. Peacock, d. II. Lew
is, e. S. Cunha and II. A. Juen were
appointed a committee to draft liquor
law. The committee will report at a
future meeting and its effort will be
submitted to an attorney to be put In
proper shape.
The committee was given authority to
confer with the Anti-Saloon League
and the Civic Federation.

RED CROSS CAN
USE RELIEF MONEY

a letter from Jas. F., Morgan's rep
resentative in San Francisco came to
his address yesterday and. as It re-
ferred to the relief situation In San
Francisco. was turned over to L. Ten.
ney Peck, chairman Of the executive
committee of the Governors Relief
Fund.
The communication was written on
behalf OF the Red Cross Committee and
stated what kind OF relief that organi-
zation was doing. AS information had
been received that there was balance
In the Hawaiian relief fund. It was In
timated in effect that the Red Cross
Committee could find good use for the
money.
There are various relief committees
in San Francisco needing help. Mr..
Peck said last night. and nothing could
be said about disposal OF the local
balance until the executive committee
had a meeting.

ing young fellow who would go out o.
his way to do service but I never
knew him to do anything that was not
exactly square. There is no proof thai
anything has been done to the ballots
and. do not believed they have beer
touched, especially by Buffandeau."
SAM DEFENDS.
Sam Johnson Is ready to defend
Buffandeau. He does not believe he
had hand in any crooked work with
the ballots.
They may have the recount II they
think WISE" said Sam, but am of the
opinion that the ballots will be in
favor of Iaukea. 1 have heard that
some of the inspectors say they erred
slightly in favor of Brown, that is, they
threw out Iaukea ballots that would
have been admitted by other judges.
do not think this was done with any
intent to defraud, the inspectors mere
ly drew their lines closer than there
was any real necessity for doing"
W. A. Kinney declined to say any
thing regarding the matter beyond
denying that any charge had been laid
against Buffandeau. He believes he
is close to Brown and to leave the bal
lots where they are practically in the
hands of the enemy did not seem fair
to his client. He had wired Mr.. Iaukea
to return to Honolulu at once as 1t
was imperative that he be here on
Monday. He will arrive here Satur-
day. As to the fourteen days allowed
his client to answer, Mr.. Kinney said
he had waived all OF that and did not
think 1t worth while to put in a de-
marrer. He feels satisfied with his
position and talked like a man who
had something up his sleeve and did
not care about pulling 1t out at this
line.
Word was sent to the Grand Jury
that witnesses would testify
hat the notorious Birbe had boosted
hat he had fixed the ballots before
Ind could do 1t again; that they were
n our" possession, as he put It and
hat he was ready to go to jail for the
AXE OF seating Brown.

SPORTS
NeW RULES
ALL RIGHT

The football fans are just beginning
to get onto the fine points OF the gam'
as played under the new non-homicida
rules and may be said to have taker
kindly to the innovation.
OF the changes witnessed in the
game as played this year, 1t may be
said that their only effect will be to
popularize intercollegiate football.
Heretofore the bulgy-browed profess
sors of sprains, bruises and compound
fractures who have had charge OF the
rules OF the game have contended that
the only way to make the play inter
esting was to pile human beings into
''rosebuds" as one would shovel coal
into a cellar and then pick them care
fully apart and remove the dead. All
the spectator could observe was a
mound of human beings, complicated
ly commingled, and the chief enjoy
ment of the game appeared to consist
in trying to pick out the legs Of the
favorite players as they protruded to
make bets as to whether or not the
owners had been killed.
This phase of the sport may have
made 1t extremely interesting to sur
geons and those versed in the deep
technicalities of the game, but to the
man watching the game from the side
lines little more frankness and can
dor, little more playing In the open
is more desirable. and this has been
had in the games played on the local
gridiron this season.
The changes Gnat have been made in
the game tend to keep the players in
dividualized, scattered around the field
and called upon to do more than or
ganfze themselves into units of COM
pound press uniting to throw so many
tons of human, flesh upon the body of
some exceptionally excellent player of
the other side, whose death will add to
the chances of the opposing team.
The new rules had everybody guess
ing, of course. Even the young men
entrusted with the task Of Interpreting
the rules upon the field have found
themselves at fault several times. and
there have been many occasions when
1t was necessary to consult the little
book in which are set down the many
changes. All has gone well, however. '
There have been few injuries and these
SO slight as to call for nothing more
of surgical aid than is contained in a
book of court plaster.
OF course those freaks and misfits Of
life known as humorists will feel called
upon to compare the game with like
under the management of the
club.
These jest-mongers viii work over
time devlsing SMILES and metaphors by
which the game can be jokefully de-
scribed as innocuous and perfectly safe.
AS matter of fact no such exertion
Is required. The new game is simply
free Of brutality; 1t has lost nothing
If interest.

CORNwELL
TO PROTEST

w. H. Cornwell. Jr., of Maui, a de-
feated candidate for Supervisor on the
Home Rule ticket, declares that he will
seek a recount and expresses himself
as sure OF victory.
He claims that an unfair method Of
counting the ballots was responsible for
his defeat.
e. M. Watson will act as attorney for
Cornwell, who arrived from Maui yes
terday morning for the purpose of set
ting his case before the Supreme Court.
The defeated candidate does not claim
fraud, but finds fault with the way in
which the ballots were counted.
Cornwell states that in the Puunene
precinct, which is Republican strong
hold, the entire county ticket was not
thrown out II there was mistake In
1t, but only the vote on the candidates
where the mistake was made. In this
manner s. r. Kaiue received votes
which he would not have got had the
whole ticket been thrown out.
In the Wailuku and Waihee precincts
the opposite system prevailed, says
Cornwell. These precincts We're strong
for him and he figures that right there
he lost from 80 to 35 votes against five
or six lost by his opponent
AT Kihei, according to the applicant
for recount two votes for him were
thrown out on ballots which the In
spectors declared were so marked that
there was no Identifying them. Corn
well insists that the inspectors were
In the wrong.
Kaiue was elected by majority Of
I've votes and Cornwell is sanguine that
ne will win his case whichever way the
Supreme Court decides the question.

to repair the damage without its being
