Attorney General Peters yesterday
| filed a motion to dissolve the temporary
injunction obtained by Jacintho Miguel
against the Liquor License Commits
sioners. It is returnable on Saturday
morning before Judge De Bolt.
1t does not appear from the bill, the
motion says, that the respondents Clin-
hton G. Ballentyne, A. j. Campbell, J.
A. Gilman, John Lucas and Carlos
Long, as the Board of License Com
missioners, and VIM. p Fennell, as
license inspector, are doing or perform
ing, or are now to do or perform, any
act or acts in violation of law.
Allegations that Campbell, Gilman
and Lucas are disqualified are stated
to be conclusions of law.
Exhibits are appended to the motion
to show that neither A. ]. Campbell
nor J. A. Gilman, on the first day of
May, a. D. 1907, had, nor since have
had or at all had, a financial interest
in the Pacific Club, further than each
being an owner of two shares of the
capital stock of said club, which con-
d
member thereof; that John Lucas did
not on the first day of May, 1907, have,
nor since has had, nor now has, a
financial interest in the Honolulu Lodge
No. GIG of the Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order of Elks."
These representations are amplifed
to the extent of denying that the Pa
cific Club is engaged in the business
= II
leging that neither Campbell nor Gill
man are directly or indirectly interest
ed in the sale of intoxicating liquors
by that club. Similar representa- tons
are made relative to Lucas and the
Elks.
Affidavits by Campbell, Gilman and
Lucas describe the purposes of the Pa
cific Club and the Elks respectively.
Incidental to its main purpose and
object, but not as its main object
each institution now sells and for two
years last past has sold intoxicating
liquors to members of said club or
lodge and, or, their guests, paying an
annual social club tax therefor in the
sum of 5000, under and by virtue of
Act % of the Session Laws of 1905"

of its regularly maintained mess and
monthly dues of it's members, devoted

same thing is said regarding the pro-
ceeds of liquor sales by the Elks, they
being devoted exclusively to the care,
maintenance, support and upkeep of
the club house.
