METHODIST
CONFERENCE
SENDS PROTEST
RESOLUTIONS OPPOSING THE BILL
TO AMEND THE PRESENT LAW
ADOPTED THIS MORNING.

A resolution concerning the temper
ance interests OF the islands and the
proposed change in the liquor law was
unanimously adopted by the Confer
ence OF the Methodist Mission of Ha-
wall and copy sent to the legislature,
now in session. The resolution reads
as follows:
We recognize the liquor traffic as
the most formidable, persistent and
dangerous foe to our Christian civiliza-
ton. 1t paralyzes the brawny arm OF
industry, roDs the laborer of his earn
lngs, creates dissatisfaction and com
munism in the ranks of the toilers
seriously affects the very heart of com
merciaI enterprise, defies the execution
OF law; laughs at reform movements
and works desolation and death eyery-
where 70 permit it to continue its
nefarious business uninterrupted would
be criminal
The present liquor laws in Hawaii
are restrictive, and have been produc-
tive of great good. We are painfully
surprised that Legislators, who are
supposed to be concerned for the best
interests of the people, should think of
repeating or changing any law that
would give the saloon element greater
liberty. While we as a church are
opposed to all licensing of this evil
we are in sympathy with all restrictive
measures, and deprecate the effort be-
ing made to revise our present liauor
law and earnestly pray the legislature
now in session in this city, to refuse TO
take a backward step and if possible
give us advanced legislation.
we are in sympathy and accord
with the Anti-Saloon League, the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union and
other temperance organizations in
their efforts to create sentiment against
this evil, and to arouse our citizenship
to relentless hostility against this foe.
and pledge them our hearty upport.
Respectfully submitted,

President.

the Senate which has for its object the
amendment of the present liquor law.
The communications were read in the
House and filed, though as far as the
House is concerned at present. judging
from the talk of Representative in
recess, there is little likelihood of the
House passing the Senate liquor bill,
Senate Bill 29. There is at present
bill in the House which seeks to amend
the present liquor law, but it differs
from the Senate bill.
There came another petition from
lepers today, asking many things. If
all resolutions so far presented for ap-
preparation items were to pass, the
Territory would need to set aside some
ten or twelve millions of dollars. There

The special session. it is thoroughly

the exception of those on Rules, Ways

it being given even an ordinary good

President Smith secured a stay of ac-

He saw liability to abuse in the mea-

Senators were pleased to hear of six

Further opposition to Moore's liquor
bill came from the Woman's Chris

Saloon League, the adverse petition OF
the latter containing but bare prayer
that the bill be rejected.
Much progress was made by the
Senate, in session precisely one hour,
in advancing bills of it's own and OF
the House. Coelho was gratified with
results from his resolution to have
delays in probate matters investigat-
ed. With the facts brought out and

Word Of Caution From Fire Chief.

Although Fire Chief Wonderly is
in Denver. and La Junta is out of
sight SO far as he is concerned, 1t
Is not out of his mind by any
means. We received letter from
him yesterday morning. in which he
utters word OF caution that should
be needed. 1t is as follows:
up to O'Clock this morning here
have been thirteen fires in Denver
in twenty-four hours. That's few.
Nine fires out of this number were
caused from sparks blowing from ash
pits, as the wind has been some
thing fierce here for several days.
was talking to Chief Owens yester-
day and he tells me that when the
wind commences to blow 1t Is time
for the fire department to hitch up.
as 1t is very likely there will be a
fire alarm any minute. This shows
that people anywhere cannot be too
careful. and as La Junta is blessed
with plenty of wind and uncovered
ashpits, 1t is wonder to me hat
we don't have more fires than we
do. believe that every ash pit in
La Junta should be covered in some
manner. There is only one way for
fire to start. outside of careless
ness, and that's by lightning"

PRUDENTIAL MEN
IN TAX CONFERENCE
Meet City Commissioners in
Argument Over Assessing
Reserve Fund.
Edwin c. Feigenspan.

Representatives of the Prudential In
surance Company are in consultation
today with the members of the City
Tax Board concerning the proposition
to tax the reserve fund of the COM
pany
1t is believed that a recent decision
of the Court. of Errors and Appeals, in
which the reserve fund of fire insur-
ance companies is declared to be an
asset and taxable rather than iiabi'-
ity and exempt, holds good also for
the life insurance companies. r
The Prudential representatives who
are talking the matter over with the
five members of the Tax Board are
Edward D. Duffield, general solicit
tor of the company; John X. Gore
actuary, and Wilbur S. Johnson. fourth
vice-president.
The Prudential officials put forth
some very strong arguments TO con-
vince the board that the $l4,ooo'oOO re-
sc rye fund on deferred dividend policies
should not be assessed. 1t was stated
that this fund could not ne touched by
