CUPID FAVORS
PROHIBITION
BUT NOT BY FEDERAL ACT
Believes That if 1t Comes, II
Should Be by Law Enacted
by the Legislature.
tFrOm Wednesdays Advertiser,

riOh OGNueSudy AuNeTLlSeT.l
81 am decidedly opposed to federal
prohibition of the liquor trade" said
Delegate Kuhio yesterday. "I believe
that the enactment by congress of a
prohibition act for Hawaii would be
tantamount to an advertisement that
we are not capable of self.government
and that congress had been obliged to
take the matter out of our hands and
pass law to protect us because we
could not protect ourselves.
81 do not wish to be understood as
being opposed to prohibition law, if
it is enacted by our local legislature.
If such bill comes before the legisla.
ture, L will support it heartily, for the
good of my own people.
Personally, am not in favor of
prohibition. What l would like to see
is limitation of the number of saloons,
such as we used to have under the
monarchy. l believe that the best thing
would be to have five or six good
saloons, for l do not believe that under
those conditions there would be the
drinking among the Hawaiians that
there is now. Under the monarchy
when we had only few saloons, and
those good ones. The Hawaiians did
not patronize them. They didn' It hand
you one bottle over the bar and me
another.
''But the Hawaiians do patronize the
low groggeries such as we have now
down toward Palama, and they drink
the vile stuff that is sold over those
bars.
"The Hawaiian, unfortunately, does
not drink for the taste of the liquor.
He drinks to get drunk, and the liquor
that will make him drunk soonest is the
liquor he wants. If he can get drunk
on one drink, he is satisfied, and he
will drink anything that will produce
that effect That is why l should like
to see the cheap saloons closed up
not because l an a temperance crank
myself, but for the good of my own
people.
''If a prohibition bill is introduced
in the legislature, will support it and
work for it-not because | believe in
prohibition myself, but for the good
of my people. / would rather see a
limitation of the number of saloons, but
if we can not have that, am in favor
of prohibition.
''But l distinctly am not in favor
of prohibition by act of congress and
l will do all / can to defeat the passage
of any such law
"Governor Frear, / understand,
agrees with me on that. We had a talk
on the subject before he left for Wash
ington and he asked. me what was my
position on the subject. / stated it as
have told you, and he told me he
thought that I was right. He said he
thought the people of this Territory are
entirely able to handle the problem
themselves without any action by con-
gress -

.F|SHMARKET
FOR CITY PARK
Supervisor Quinn Wants Govern
ment to Turn 1t Over to
the Supervisors.

eff the Territory will turn over the
old fishmarket at the foot of Alakea
street to the county, 1 will assure the
public that within n very short time
they will have one of the prettiest
parks there to be found in the city,
said Supervisor Jim Quinn yesterday
as he slowed his big auto up before
the big iron shed to allow couple
of reporters to take look.
Quinn points to the old fishmarket
as an eyesore at present, first because
the big shed lacks paint, secondly be-
cause the interior is almost in need of
a visit from the board of health and
third because the grass and trees have
become unkempt, the grass being almost
dead.
He states that if the county had the
square that prisoners would be put 10
work to dig up the soil and plant new
grass, trim the trees, clean them, plant
more trees and paint and clean up the
big iron structure. Quinn believes the
fishmarket will be needed when the big

ACCUSED MEN
IN A FINE ROW
Officials Sit BY ContentedIy and
Let Supposed SmuggIers
Fight 1t Out.
lFrom weanesday Adver.l.er.l

1t will probably not be long now be-
fore the "headwaters" of the Snug
Cling game suddenly unearthed by the
authorities will be reached and the
real culprits caught. Today might be
the last day of liberty for those who
have directed the operation of the sys-
TEN, and then, again, maybe not, but
the officials are hard on their track.
Two more arrests were made yester-
day, and other clues discovered that
will materially assist in the solving of
the problem. These last can not be
made public, but will undoubtedly
cause further arrests today.
Those arrested yesterday were Vim
cent Keumi and All jim. The last
name is only the Chinese version of
"John Doe,n for when the warrant
was made out it was not known what
his real name was. The man conduct
ed store on Hotel street, was sup
posed to be operating blind pig, and
was known as one who had frequently
INDUCED in the smuggling game. This,
however, was not the reason he was
arrested.
E. r. Stackable and r. w. Breckons
have adopted new system of using
the third degree that is wholly laugh
able and evidently entirely successful.
Three of those arrested the first day
of the proceedings, Kaikai, Kekahuna
and All Fook, were brought together
in the office of Breckons before him
self and the collector of customs, who
is the head of the investigation. A
few minutes of examination with the
aid of an interpreter sufhced to start
the three accused smugglers scrapping
most gloriously. Contradictions and
hard words were passed freely, and
also the "shorter and uglier," while
the two Investigators smilingly sat by
and let them 60 at it, with the inter
prefer, who understands both Chinese
and Hawaiian, taking it all in.
When they were all through and sub
sided, the interpreter unreeled all that
they had said. What it was, the Off
cials and they only know, but it is
known that it furnished further basis
for action. Keumi S connection with
the case has not been divulged. The
arrests to date are nine, Hawaiian
by the name of Kalawa being pulled
into the drag net on Monday.
John Kekahuna appeared yesterday
before United States Commissioner
George Davis and was bound over to
the April term of court on bond of
$500. Stackable and his inspectors
testified rs to the doings on the Hack
feIn wharf and RreckonS nc IN +hn

KING MAX LOST BY A HEAD
Was lust a Few Days Too Late
in Securing Guano Grant
to Little Islands.
(From wednesday advertiser.)

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE
Territory of Hawaii has not the right
to lease any part of federal bird
reservation.
Secretary Ballinger IS letter, deciding
that the lease by the territorial au-
thorities to Max Schlemmer Of guano
rights ON the Laysan and Lysianski is.
lands is illegal, probably goes forward
in the same mail as this letter. The
amount involved is not large. Mr..
Schlemmer was to pay the Territory
hut $25 for this privilege and was to
plant trees upon the islands, but the
federal government IS superior claim to
authority over the islands is note
worthy. Secretary Ballinger is writ
ing to Governor Frear that the lease
is "without the slightest efficacy" as
territorial authority has been terminal
ed over the land where there was es-
tablished bird reserve.

HAWAIIAN CHEMISTS
ELECT NEW OFFICERS
(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)

The annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Chemists Association was held Mon.
day in the II. S. p. A. rooms, Judd
building, and officers were elected for
the ensuing year as follows: Presi-
dent, c. c. James; vice-president, +. T..
Greenfield; secretary-treasurer, r. S.
Norris; executive committee, S. S.
Peck, II. johnson, Noel Deerr, T. E.
Westley.
Mr.. DEER gave a synopsis of the
conclusions to be drawn from the an.
nual reports of the Hawaiian sugar
mills, which he had arranged in tab.
ular form. Considerable discussion was
ELECTED among the sugar chemists pres.
ent upon important points in the re.
port. DIR. DEER laid principal stress
upon the objection to the washing of
sugar with impure water, and the de.
STABILITY of having mill chemists use
more care in furnishing reliable re.
ports, especially of the amount of
waste molasses produced.
Mr.. Greenfield of Eva gave short
statement of what he considers the
most profitable grade of sugar to make
under the new schedule of prices.
Messrs. Duncan, James and Norris
gave n few notes on their experience
in the determination of moisture in
foods, fertilizers and sugar-factory
products, respectively. 1t was brought
out that this determination requires
very careful work if reliable results
are to be obtained.
A suggestion was made by Mr.. James
that an attempt be made to form Q
section of the American Chemical So
ciety in Honolulu.
In the evening the members partook
of the annual dinner at the Seasid,
and enjoyed skit with joshes on the
different members.

TAFT EXPRESSES SYMPATHY
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, November 24.-The
government officials are anxiously
awaiting definite word from Nicaragua
In order to determine what steps may
properly be taken to bring that turbu-
lent country and its dictator to a sense
of the responsibility that rests upon
anyone who misuses or takes the life
of an American citizen unjustly. Until
there is some definite information re-
ceived as to whether the two Americans
executed by order of Zelaya were ac-
tually in the ranks of the revolutionists
or were acting Independently in their
opposition to the Zelaya government,
the United States can not proceed.
Yesterday the cabinet members dis
cussed the Nicaraguan question, but the
result of their deliberations has not
been given out, the only word being
that the government was still marking
time, ready to proceed at once as soon
as there was definite ground for action.

CALF FORN|A MAN
LIKES OUR PINES
Manager of Big Coast Cannery Is
Having a Look Around
the Islands.

Charles H. Bentley, sales manager of
the California Fruit Association, of
San Francisco, who has been in the
Islands short time, is making thor
ough canvass of the pineapple industry
ON this island and will shortly leave
for Maui to inspect the plantations
there.
His association has canneries In diff
ferent parts of California and does a
large canning and packing business
with all manner of fruits. His visit
to Honolulu at this time is to make n
thorough investigation as to the future
OF the pineapple industry, and it is
presumed that his company is looking
for an opportunity to invest.
Mr.. Bentley states that the Hawai-
ian growers have established a reputa-
tion for juicy and fine-favored fruit,
and, at the same time, one of the prin-
cipal elements of its success on tho
mainland is the large size of the pine.
If this size is maintained it will a.
ways have a good hold on the main
land consumers. If the size drops. it
comes into losing competition with
the small pines of the Bahamas and
other outside places. He believes that
the pineapple industry in the Islands
has big future. He praises the man
ner in which local people have devel-
oped the industry SO rapidly in such a
short period.

Just Five DAYS Late.

Max Schlemmer lost the crown to the
"Kingdom of Laysan and Lysianski
islands by less then a week. This de-
veloped in letter received yesterday
by Acting Governor L. A. Mott Smith
from Secretary of the Interior Ballin-
ger.
This is the official notice to the terri
torial government that King Max has
been dethroned and Ballinger gives
briefly the reasons why the federal gov
ernment has considered the lease in
valid.
Chief among these is the fact that
on February 3, 1905, the United States
resolved the islands, formerly n part
of Honolulu county stringing out in an
archipelago northwest of Kauai, into
2 bird reservation.
The lease to the islands awarded
Schlemmer was signed on February s,
five days after the federal government
took them over Consequently King
Max was five days behind the time.
As to whether he could have retained
his leasehold on the islands even if
the lease was signed before the action
of the government is question that
might be asked if there were any occa-
sion for it.
There has been some Doubt about the
lease ever since it was made but all
doubt is laid at rest by the decision oF
Ballinger. He says, in his letter, that
the action in turning the islands into
n reservation removed them from the
jurisdiction of the commissioner of pub
lie lands of the Territory.
ESThe lease is invalid - concludes the
letter, "and confers no leasehold what.
soever on Mr.. Schlemmer.'
r. /. p, King Max.
