,OCAL OPTION
LEGAL BATTLE.
Harrison People Divided and May
Upset Incorporation

Judge Edwin McBee left this
morning for Harrison. where he, to-
gether with A. A. Crane, will repre-
sent the saloon men at that place,
who were arrested Saturday because
OF their failure to recognize the ac-
ton of the city council in declaring
the town dry" At the last election
a dry" council was elected, and one
Of its first acts after taking hold of
the reins of the city government was
to declare the town dry by declin-
ing to issue any more saloon licenses.
The saloon men were given until May
] to prepare to comply with the ac-
ton OF the council. but when the time
arrived. instead of closing their doors
they continued to run, and sell IL
quor as usual. The saloon men ar
rested are Geo. Roberts. of the
Klondike saloon: Tom McHenry, of
the Mint; and p. P. Lang, of the
Lakeview saloon. A drayman was
also arrested for hauling a load Of
beer to one of the establishments.
The council is determined to make
the town dry" If 1t lies within its
power, and the cases will be carried
to the highest court in the state.
Will Test Incorporation.
Last week Judge McBee and A. A.
Crane, as attorneys for their clients.
served Prosecuting Attorney Potts
with petition asking him to insti-
tute quo warranto proceedings for
the purpose of testing the legality of
the Incorporation OF the town. The
attorneys contend for a number OF
reasons, that the incorporation is
void. among them the description OF
the boundaries, which are alleged to
be SO indefinite that they do not de.
scribe any tract of land. The other
points raised are that the procedure
in securing the articles of incorpora-
ton from the board of county com
missioners was illegal. Prosecuting
Attorney Potts claimed that a sufElc-
lent showing had not been made in
the petition and declined to act. and
since then no further action has been
taken by the attorneys, though they
have had a number of matters under
consideration.
In making a defense for their eli,
ents in the courts today this question
will also be raised and the procedure
adopted in raising it will probably be
by interposing a demurrer to the
complaints filed declaring that the
court has no Jurisdiction of the Of
lenses as the town is not Incorporate
ed and the council is acting without
any authority of law. Whether the
attorneys will go to the supreme
court on this question as raised and
try out the validity of the incorpora
ton in this manner. or whether sons
other mode will be pursued while al
Iappeal is pending in the cases hal
rot yet been determined.

FORTY SECOND DAY.
Afternoon Session

The afternoon session of the House
yesterday was made interesting by d
fight over the bill of Alfonso which
prohibits government prosecuting off
GERS from indulging in private prac-
tice while they hold government posi-
tions. The judiciary committee in the
morning session had presented report
asking that the bill be tabled and this
was finally adopted
Douthittt in the afternoon delivered
a burning grafton to the effect that If
the Territory and the counties wanted
decent lawyers to work for them they
had better pay them decent wages or
in lieu thereof at least permit them
to do enough business outside of gov
eminent work to allow them to make
a respectable liTing.
Sheldon, speaklI for the bill, de-
clared that private practice interfered
with the work that should be done for
the government; that prosecuting Off
GERS got rent free with the government
and the use of stationery and govern
ment stenographers, and frequently, he
thought, the fact that lawyer was an
officer of the government led people to
take their private cases to him, it was

THE AFTERNOON SESSIONS

/ election of a central committee by the
each party.
Coelho called attention to the omis-
sion of provisions for a primary in
the County of Kalawao.
Smith suggested that a provision be
inserted at the end of the bill that
the act shall not apply to rhe County
of Kalawao. Coelho later moved ac-
cordingly, but afterward withdrew it
on discussion of a point raised by
himself-being with regard to the
right of the voters in the Leper Set
Element to participate in the election
of Delegate to Congress and Senators
and Representatives for the County OF
Maui.
On the final section, providing that
the laws relating to elections shall
apply to all primaries in so far as
consistent with this act, the chair
asked who were to be the judges or
the primaries. By implication the re-
gular inspectors of election have the
duty elsewhere in the BILL but to
make sure a definite provision to that
end was added to section 3.
Consideration of section IL was re-
sumed. A substitute provision relat-
ing to choice between tickets by a
candidate nominated on more than
one, of that in which his name shall
appear on the official ballot for the
election, was transferred to section 3.
An amendment was then proposed
to the remnant of section H., provid-
ing for announcement of voters name
and residence and the furnishing to
him of one each of the various bal
lots Carried.
Smith contended for preservation Of
the permission to Il voter to write on
one party's ticket the name of a can
didate of another party, to be count
ed only on the letters ticket. Rob-
ertson and Dickey opposed it and the
provision went by the board
Smith moved that the committee
rise and recommend that the bill be
reprinted.
Chillingworth moved In amendment
that the committee rise and recon-
mend that the bill pass second read
ing and be referred to the printing
committee.
Coelho interposed a motion OF
thanks to the gentlemen who had
given valuable assistance in the del
Iteration. Carried.
Chillingworth motion carried and
the committee rose and reported as
ordered. In the midst of wrangle
on procedure, a motion to adopt the
report having carried. Knudsen pro-
missed a written report later. This
satisfied those who claimed that the
bill as amended was not regularly be-
fore the Senate.
