HONORABLE KANIHO
A VERY BUM KAHUNA

The Honorable Kaniho, preacher,
hula dancer and teacher of the hula,
politician and near-statesman, may be
a wizard when it comes to putting a
spell upon the earnest voter, but he s
a bum kahuna, according to the testi-
mony of a bunch of Chinese who APP
peared before Judge Andrade yester-
day and told a weird tale of how the
honorable representative from the
wilds of Kohala, and Honolulu, tried to
juggle with the unknown and detect
crime by the latest scientific methods,
mixed with a few lamentations, cabalis-
tie signs and occult passes.
Kaniho, as previously related in The
Advertiser, tried to make a bunch of
Kalihi pakes believe that he was a
Big Kahuna. But, unfortunately for
him, he got his wires crossed, or some
thing happened to delay his Familiar,
and he accused the wrong man of hav-
ing lifted the sack of gold that mystic
riously disappeared from the strong box
of one Young You.
hanlnO, IL IS allegeu, persuaded
Young You that he was gifted with
occult powers which would enable him
to detect the thief. Young You gave
him a chance, and the honorable rep
resentative went through the perform
ance of feeling the legs of all the other
pakes in the neighborhOod, claiming that
he could detect from the steadiness or
unsteadiness of their neither members
whether they were guilty or innocent.
Kaniho, however, failed to produce any
results, and his stock as a kahuna has
sunk considerably below par in Kalihi.
Meantime, however, a Chinese named
Young Lee was arrested and charged
with the theft, and it was in the course
of his trial before Judge Andrade that
the story of the weird proceedings of
the gentleman from Kohala came out.
Judge Andrade felt disinclined to take
snap Judgment in the face of the I'M
canny testimony, and reserved his de-
eision until November 4. BY that time
Kaniho will be seated once more among
the Great Ones in the legislative halls.
Maybe his kahuna will work better
there

To Remove Pencil
Marks From Paint

Pencil marks can sometimes be
removed from white paint by gently
rubbing them with breadcrumbs in
the direction of their course mot
across). or by rubbing with slice
of lemon or raw potato In more
obstinate cases all traces can be
removed with a soft piece of linen
moistened with pure turpentine or
bezine. taking care to dipe 1t of
quickly with dry rag afterwards.
The polish can be restored to the
surface by lightly rubbing with a
soft rag dipped In very little pure
linseed oil, or by Just polishing
with a little whiting, If the pencil
has left indentation marks they
can be got out by laying piece of
felt that has been wrung out of wa
ter over the place. then pressing a
very hot iron over the felt.

CONGRESS FRAMING IT UP TO
PUT EXPRESS COMPANIES
OUT OF THE LIQUOR BUsl-
NESS AND NATIONAL PROHi-
6lTlON Is IN THE AIR.
~ gibson GARDNER,
Special uorrsspondsncs to The Prsss

Special uorrsspoudsncs to The Press
WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
Express companies are in danger OF
being driven out of the liquor bust
ness In "dry" territory. 1t may not
be generally known they are in the
saloon business, but they are, and
are making money hand over fist.
The game is this: Distillers ship
original packages in small quanti-
ties across the state line into pro-
hibition states addressed to "ohn
Brown" civilian ones" and other
fake names, sending the packages
c. o. d. All the man with a thirst
has to do is to go in the express
office and ask for a package ad-
dressed to John Brown" He gets
It. and pays the charges. This ship.
ment Is lawful, because it is inter.
state.
But the house of representatives
has just passed an amendment to
the penal code bill which prohibits
! this sort of thing. If the senate
does its part--if 1t does-"dry' ter
ritory will really be dry"
The amendment as it passed the
house prohibits:

whisky drinking states. Along with
this came a sharp advance in the
price of corn. Following the pass
age of the anti-express liquor
traffic bill comes the uncertainty
of what the pure food law may do.
Still further down the road the
prohibitionists have erected a
sign reading: National prohibition
bib So the liquor men have
some cause to be detected. They
are letting out cry of personal
liberty" that can be heard all over
the District of Columbia.
And the blue ribboners are con.
tinuing to do business. They have
mapped out a plan for the sixty.
first congress that is anything but
encouraging to the saloon interests
The campaign includes the intro.
ducing of a bill providing. that an
amendment to tho constitution pro.
hibiting the manufacture or sale OF
liquor in the United States, be pro-
posed to the legislatures of the 46
states.
Should three-fourths of the state
legislatures ratify the proposed
amendment, the United States
would become nationally dry.
If congress refuses to pass this
bill, the national prohibition com
mittee will try to have three
fourths of the state legislatures
petition congress to adopt the
amendment. Then congress would
be forced to do so.

the column falls in behind and pro-
ceeds from the capitol along the
historic Pennsylvania-av. BY the
time it reaches the treasury build
ing information will reach the
grand marshal that the new presi-
dent and a party of invited friends
are busy partaking of light lunch
in the white house; and the review
must wait until this Is over.
r. According to the best traditions
this is when it begins to rain. The
soldiers in their bright uniforms,
and the political marchers with
their silk hats and fancy busters,
stand in the cold drizzle and wish
the lunch was over, or that they
had some of it. Thus passes an
hour. At the end Of this time Pres
ident Taft will come forth and
mount the stand provided for him
facing Pennsylvania-av Bare
headed he will stand and view the
passing marchers for several hours.
The Inauguration ball begins at
8: 80 in the evening. Anybody with
the necessary S. can have ticket.
The ball is held in the huge pen
sion office building, on which sew
eral thousand dollars has been ex-
pended in decorating it for the pur-
pose. The main attraction Of the
entertainment is the promise that
the president and vice president,
with their families, will attend.
This promise brings out crowd
which more than fills the hall and
precludes any possibility Of dane
ing. But the crowd promenades
around looking at one another and
listening to the pleasant strains OF
the military and marine bands, and
at about 10 o'clock gets glimpse
of the main attraction. The presi-
dent and party make quick entry,
and after turn about the hall, es-
cape to more comfortable quarters.
This ends the show. The city
has been decorated and made as at
tractive as the time of the year
will permit, but the old tradition OF
bad weather on March spoils
much of the out-of-door fun.
The unofficial Inauguration cele-
bration is fully paid for by the
guests. 1t is the custom of Wash
ington's prominent citizens to sub
scribe to an Inauguration fund
These prominent citizens have their
pictures in the papers and their
public spirit is widely advertised
but this fund Is all returned with
interest to the donors. Concessions
to those who build the grand
stands, tickets for the ball, concert
tickets and the sale of official pro.

committee about $150.000. Four
