HEALANI CLUB
STARTS NEW ERA

The Healani Yacht and Boat Club
held its annual election of officers last
night. The following were elected:
VIM. L. Hebron, president; A. T. Long
ley. vice president; D. L. Conkling, cap
tain; L. Cunha, vice captain; j. \. Dem
sham, commodore; E. L. Kruss, vice
commodore; j. B. Lightfoot. secretary;
George Gall, treasurer; H. Lempke.
auditor.
Ihere were nineteen members present
and there was no objection to any of
the names put up for the various of
hces. There is something of a scrap
on IN the club. 1t seems that there
was meeting held a week ago at which
an election was held This was not
on the date mentioned in the bylaws
and therefore, presumably illegal. An
other meeting was asked for. but this
request was refused. so some of the
members held another meeting and
elected officers as above.
This little mix-up, while very niue h
of tempest in a teapot, really seems
to mark a new era in the Healani club.
For years this club has been deeisiveIy
beaten by the Myrtles and the institu-
ton has been suffering from bad ease
of innoeuous desuetude.
The bunch mentioned above looks
pretty good and, with a fine location
plenty of good boats and members who
are beginning to wake up and take al
interest, the club should certainly start
! out on new era of prosperity.

to her home.
The story was all about how
Thompson was shipwrecked off the
coast of Yucatan. He got safely
ashore on Cozumei island and
made friends with the gaily paint

Thompson like a king. The chief
of the Maya-Toltecs insisted that
Thompson marry his daughter. He
didn't care to, but the Indian
frightened him into it.
"She was a pretty little thing"
Thompson told his friends, "and
took a fancy to me-"

SAN FRANCISCO, May s.
One of the big surprises in store

sailor-boy himself.

WESTERN CITY ATTORNEY
FOE OF BREWERS

LOS ANGELES, May S.-One
million dollars worth of collateral
rendered valueless.
Independent saloons made q
possibility in Los Angeles by q
body blow to the local brewery
monopoly.
These are the results of an
opinion of City Atty. Leslie R.
Hewitt recently received and acted
upon by the police commission.
Saloon licenses in this city are
limited in number to 200. Because
of this limit, and because they
had been transferable before Hew-
tits opinion was accepted by the
authorities, they had acquired a
value of about $4,000 each.
The city attorney held that
these licenses are not transferable;
that If a saloon is sold the new
owner must apply for new license,
which may or may not be granted
at the discretion of the police COM
mission. The commission agreed
with him.
Most of the licenses now in ex-
istence in the city are held by
dummies representing the brew
eres. They will no longer have
any value as collateral security or
in giving the breweries control of
the saloons.
In case of legitimate sale of
an Independent saloon, however,
the new owner, If he is respon-
sible, will have no trouble in get
ting a license from the commits
sion. He will not have to bow to
the will of some brewery.
