WOMEN To AID
CONSERVATION
Mrs. knudsen Addresses LARGE
Meeting on the Woman's
Congress.

That the women of Honolulu are tax
ing deep interest in the movement
for the conservation of the natural re-
sources of the United States and that
they realize how helpful their own
work and influence may be, was clearly
shown by. the ready response to Mrs.
Frear s invitation to attend a meeting
at her residence yesterday afternoon,
at which Mrs. A. f. Knudsen read a
lecture on the subject and told of her
recent visit to Washington to attend
the Woman s National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress during last December.
Mrs. Knudsen s address was not on
ly deeply interesting to anybdy who
IS alive to the strength of this move
ment for better conservation, but was
constructed admirably and led her lis
Ieners from the Introductory explana-
ton to the fitting climax when letter
of Endorsement and encouragement was
read from President Roosevelt himself.
Mrs. Knudsen explained how the con-
servation movement started at the
great convention of Governors, called
by the President last year, from which
resulted the formation of the National
Conservation Commission which met at
the same time that the National Rivers
and Harbors and the Woman IS congress
already spoken of were in session.
The woman s organization was form
ed in Shreveport, Louisiana, and was
started by Joseph E. Ransdell, presi-
dent of the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress The first meeting was
grand success. The representatives
returned to their respective states with
a firm determination to arouse the
women of their states to the necessity
of coming into the organization and
bringing up their children to the re-
sponsibihty that will soon be theirs in
saving and conserving the country s
natural resources.
After outlining the possibilities Of
the work that may be done by women
in this movement and telling of the
platform of conservation adopted by
the congress, Mrs. Knudsen spoke more
intimately of Hawaii and of the need
for conservation work here She rep
resented Hawaii as the future Gibraltar
of the Pacific and told of the great
commercial possibilities of the islands
after the Panama canal Is opened
Quoting Governor Frear, "For Ha-
wall, small though she is, is soon to
have the honor of playing part out
of all proportion to her size, in the
conservation of the natural resources
of the nation.

.CUMMINs SCHEDULED
FOR THE TObOGGAN

Supervisor Quinn, when asked yes
terday noon whether Cummins would
yield to the demand of John Wilson
the Mayors appointee as road super
visor, replied that he would not, but
would retain command of the road de-
partment as long as the supervisors de
sired him to do so. When asked
whether he took the view that the Su-
preme Court decision gave the mayor
full power to appoint the road super
visor, Supervisor Quinn replied that
the supervisors had to approve such ap-
pointment, otherwise it was of no value
"Well, anyway, we don't have to
appropriate any money for the job, SO
that win keep the other people out, - he
said.
He intimated that it was not exactly
case of keeping Cummins in and
Wilson out, as perhaps Cummins would
be replaced by another Republican as
soon as affairs were Strengthened out.

ENABLING ACT
FOR PAY Of
LABOR
CoeIho Has Some More
Freak Resolutions
Entered.

Appearing before the Senate sitting
as a committee of the whole, Governor
Frear yesterday morning enlightened
the members of the upper house on the
objects of the proposed amendments to
the Organic Act, embodied in bill that
is now pending before Congress at
Washington. The Governor explained
at length the intention OF the amend
ments recommended in dealing with the
land laws. He was asked few questions
by the Senators and in every case his
reply apparently satisfied the inquirer
of the wisdom of the idea in the amend
ment then under consideration.
Governor Frear appeared before the
Senate in response to an invitation ex-
tended to him last week when it was
decided to take up the Coelho resolu-
tion--denouncing the Organic Act
amendment bill-in the committee of
the whole. The Senate went ahead
with the consideration of the resolution
introduced by Coelho despite the fact
that they have already gone officially
on record as favoring the adoption of
the amendment bill through passing
House Concurrent Resolution No. 2, in
troduced by G. T. Alfonso.
Governor Frear declared that he con-
sidered in it's entirety the bill would
give much additional power to the
Legislature and, except in one or two
cases, would not take any of the exist
ing authority from the Legislative
body. Governor Frear dwelt on the
necessity of putting an end to the
doubt that surrounds several provisions
of the Organic Act, and particularly
whether the Organic Act is supreme
over the general territorial laws of the
United States The Governor gave it
as his opinion that it is and that the
evident intention of Congress was to
give Hawaii separate and distinct law
and that the existing territorial statutes
applied generally but are in no way
inclusive as far as Hawaii is concerned.

The following statements were made
yesterday by the members of the upper
house when asked to express themselves
ON the subject of allowing the liquor
interests to run things to suit them,
selves:

81 am strongly opposed to any
change in the present law. 1t is model,
eded or remarkably successful Cana,
dian law on the subject and has proved
good one To allow appeal from the
license commission would destroy the
most summary and needful feature of
the act. =
Vice President Kalama-"T The law
as it stands is a good one and l will
support it. There is no necessity for
changing it and the remote possibility
of injustice does not balance the I'M
deniable virtues it possesses. L Will
take this stand in the Senate.
Senator Knudsen-" The Republican
delegation from Kauai is pledged to
oppose any change in the liquor laws.
IF there was no pledge / would stand
for the maintenance of the law we
have at present. To allow all the
techniealities of the courts to be inter
posed would destroy its most salient
feature. .
Senator Fairchild-'fW are pledged
to oppose a change in the liquor law.
We are going over the act carefully IN
the WAYS and Means Committee and
it will be several days before we can
report / do not see any need for a
change. It is unfortunate that this
has been brought up for there IS the
possibility of more stringent law or
restrictive action by the Federal au-
thorities' -

ers of the Board of License Commits

a holder of license. There should be
no appeal in the matter of license APP

SUPERV|SOR|A[.
MAJORITY
BAlKS
Adjourn Board Meeting
to Keep Mayor From
Appointing.

With the Supreme Court municipal
decision staring them in the face, the
Republican majority of the Board of
Supervisors were in quandary last
night as to what mode of procedure
to take to hold their position, and were
apparently afraid that the Democratic
mayor might have something up his
sleeve to shatter their own plans, the
net result being that no business what
ever was transacted beyond the read
ing of the minutes of the preceding
two sessions.
The suddenness of the presentation
of motion to adjourn until 4 clock
this afternoon, made by Supervisor
Quinn, and seconded by AHA, quite
took the breath away from even SUI
pervisor Logan. Supervisors after
wards explained that there was really
no business to do; no payrolls, or any,
thing in fact. The City Clerk, on the
other hand, had batch of business to
bring up before the meeting, and in it
was the very important matter of a
damage suit for $4,000 brought against
the Getty and County of Honolulu -
yesterday, matter which should have
been officially referred to committee,
or the City Attorney, last night. An
other important matter was the report
on the charges made against road over
seer Solomon Peck by the Mayor, which
was to have been brought up in it's
regular course.
A Quiet Beginning.
When the board convened there was
quiet expressed on the collective super
visorial face. The reading of the min.
utes were proceeded with by Clerk Ka-
lauokalani, during which Mr.. Logan
came in and took his seat. At the
conclusion of the reading Mr.. Quinn
arose and moved to adjourn until to-
day, and was quickly seconded, and
the motion passed.
Mr.. Logan stated afterwards that
had he arrived before the Supervisors
took their seats and learned of the
contemplated program for adjournment,
he might have opposed it, as he had
some business to present and knew Of
more besides. He stated, however, that
the Supervisors were receiving advice
during the day as to what procedure
to adopt at the meeting and that pos
