Union Station to Be
Considered.

Important District matters will be
taken up by the Senate District Com
mdttee at its first meeting next Friday,
and among them will be the question of
extending the street railway tracks TO
Union Station. The expectation is that
the bill of the Commissioners, ap-
proved by Senator GalHnger, win be re
ported favorably. The friends of the
bill hoge to accomplish this and they
VIII make an effort to sidetrack the
amendments offered by Senator Hans
brough, providing for universal trans
fers ana for a franchise tax.
1t viii be urged that public necessity
demands that the lack OF facilities for
transportation to and from the station
be remedied with the least possible de-
lay. In the bill for permanent tracks
provision for temporary tracks Is made,
and II there is prospect Of early and
favorable action by Congress on the
permanent trackage bill. the need for
the temporary extension provided In q
separate bill will be obYiated.
At the meeting OF the committee Fri
day, II may develop whether there Is a
disposition to press the school inquiry.
There has been a noticeable diminu-

ent Chancellor. and II is now deemed
possible there viii be no inquiry
At the same time, many members OF
Senate and House feel that the school

BAR ON LIQUOR
MANY MONTHS OLD
Rural Mail Carriers Not
Allowed to Trans
port 1t.

In connection with the order just IS
sued by Postmaster General Meyer pro-
hibiting star route mail contractors
from transporting intoxicating liquors
on their routes. 1t develops that the
rural route carriers have been prohibit
ed from carrying liquor for some tine
past
The effect Of the new order is TO put
all mail carriers, whether connected
with the star route service or the rural
delivery service. on the same basis IN
the matter Of Transporting liquor.
1t is cleimei that the policy or per
hitting the sIar route carriers to &C
cept consi gnments OF liquor has tended
IN some cases 10 cause a preference to
be exhibited for that class OF services
in opposition % the rural delivery ser
vice.
The department has received so many
protests against the mail contractors
carrying liquor since the temperance
wave has spFt ad out with such sweep
ing results, especially IN the South, that
some action was necessary 70 piacale
the temperance people, and TO stop their
bOmbardment OF the department with
letters and petitions.
Mr., De Graw Fourth Assistant Post
master General under whom the rural
delivery service comes, said today the
rural carriers had not been allowed 70
carry packages containing liquor for al
most q year, and that his bureau was
a pioneer IN the temperance movement.
CT. al least, that By prohibiting the car
riers to carry liquor, the department re
Iieved itself OF the charge that f. was
aiding the violation OF the tempe rance
laws by taking liquor into "dTy" terri
tory.

CARS
FOR HONOLULU

Honolulu people are going to have a
chance to see the latest thing in auto
mobiles, what is known as Tourabout.
The Thomas Detroit people have chang.
ed management and now their machine
goes under the name of the Chalmers
Detroit.
Their principal car for 1909 will be
one of these Todrabouts and four have
been ordered for Honolulu by the Asso-
ciated Garage and viii arrive here abokt
the end of next month.
A Tourabout is not runabout and
it is not roadster; neither is it a cross
between the two. 1t has double, open
seat behind which may be removed and
it has the great advantage of showing
the clean lines of touring car without
its heavy appearance, while it lacks
the rather lop ended appearance of
roadster. ~
This style of car has made a great
hit on the Coast and the manufacturers
are arranging for most of. their output
to be on this style. 1t is particularly
adapted to warm climate and seems
destined to obtain great favor IN Ho-
nolulu.

ONE HUNDRED TON
SHIPMENT OF HONEY

One hundred tons Of Hawaiian honey
the largest amount of that dainty ever
gathered into one block, has been pur.
chased and prepared for shipment by
F. L. Waldron, who leaves on the Mon
golia today for San Francisco to look
after the marketing and transshipment
of the bunch of sweetness.
A large part of this honey was stored
up by the bees of the American Sugar
Company, and this is to be shipped to
London. A large part of it will be eat

which viii eventually shine on the toes
of freshly blackened and shined shoes.

honey plays an important part, being
