MAUI WANTS NO
IMITATION BOOZE
Commissioners Take Proper Step
to Bar Out ReCtihers'
Compounds.

The license commissioners of Maui
have taken the most advanced step yet
toward ameliorating the conditions
brought about IN the Islands through
drink and have just issued an order
that will hit the Honolulu rectiiers a
solar plexus so far as their Maui trade
Is concerned.
Attention has been called in The Ad
vertiser during the past several months
TO the many sudden deaths in Honolulu
and throughout the Islands caused
through alcoholism, and in the major
itv of cases through alcoholism brought
on by the use of the cheap, compound
ed liquors being served to unsuspect-
| ing Hawaiians in the country saloons
| and in the low class saloons Of the city.
| The campaign begun by The Adver-
tiser has not yet had the desired effect
| in Honolulu, the local commissioners
| after hearing the arguments of the rec
| filters, deciding that phoney booze was
no worse than the straight article. On
| Maui. however. different conclusion
| has been reached and compounded
| imitation and otherwise manufac-
tured'' whisky and gin will be regu
| lated back to the dangerous class IN
which they belong.
The matter Of prohibiting the sale
of such booze IN the Maui saloons and
wholesale liquor houses was taken NJ
| bv the board in its meeting of Friday
last. the result being shown in the fol
lowing letter, a copy Of which IS be
ing mailed to every Hcensee on the
| island:

PROBE REVEALS A
y MASS OF R0TTENNEss
Illinois Legislators Bribed by
Corporations and by
Politicians.

SPRINGFIELD, Illinois, May %
Senator Broderick has been indicted for
bribery, State Senator d. w. Holtslaw
having confessed yesterday that he had
been paid $500 by him to vote for
Lormer as United States senator.
Holtslaw, in his confession, stated
that in addition to this $1,000 bride ac-
cepted by him, he was also given 500
as his share in the legislative jackpot
resulting from Lorimer election. He
had also received a bride of $500 for
sanctioning the contract given the Ford
Johnson Furniture Company for the
furnishing of the state house.
This latter incident is corroborated by
Otto FREEZER, an agent of the Ford John
son company, who told the particulars
of how the furniture contract was given.
His confession has resulted in indict-
ments for conspiracy being returned
against State Senator :. {. Pemberton
and Representative Joseph Clark.

STRAW VOTE ABANDONED

At a meeting of the women inter
ested in obtaining straw vote Of
their sex IN Hawaii on the prohibition
question, held at the Royal Hawaiian
Hotel yesterday, the idea of taking
such vote was definitely abandoned
The matter was thoroughly discussed.
a report of a committee of five ladies
being presented outlining the only
matter of taking the mock election
that would prove accurate or infuen-
tial, added to which report being the
reasons why such an election would be
impracticable at this time.
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Walter +. Frear, with Mrs. W. l..
Bowers as secretary. About fifty
women were present, all told The
plan or outline of the proposed cleo
ton was presented IN accordance with
a resolution passed at a previous meet
ing and is given below:
y lengthy discussion of the submit
ted plan followed. after which the
committee was asked for a recommend
alton, which they rendered in the fol
lowing language:
| The committee unanimously recon
mends that on account of inSNrmount-
| able difficulties discovered in their in.
vestigatlon of the subject, the plan of
| attempting a straw vote Of tie women
! Of Hawaii on the prohibition question
| be abandoned. -
| The matter was then put to the
| question which resulted in a large vote
against the adoption. AS the action
upon this matter was the sole purpose
for which the meeting was called, II
was then adjourned
| An adjourned meeting was imme
diately called at which Mrs. Harmon
! Hendrick presided. Mrs. Bowers acting
as secretary. Mrs. j. NJ Whitney
moved that the committee be given
vote of thanks for the definite anC
| thorough manner in which their inves
tigation had been made, which was pu
| and carried.
The vigorous discussion that follow
ed showed plainly that. the reason 70
not accepting the plan was the opinion
of the meeting, that owing to the lacl
of necessary time it would be lmpOs
slble to obtain a large or representa-
tive vote on the prohibition question

WHO OWNS THE
kA|LUA COURT?
Mixup Between the Circuit Judge,
the Hawaii Supervisors and
a Convention.

Who owns the territorial court
houses? Has the judge of the circuit
the whole say, or have the county SUI
pervlsors, who are empowered to build,
rebuild, equip and maintain the court
houses? There are about eight hum
dred people IN and around Kailua who
want to know.
There is mixup in the otherwise
peaceful community OF Kailua; there is
also a mixup between the generally
peaceful board of supervisors of Ha
wall and Circuit Judge Matthewman
who is always and invariably peace
able and peaceful.
There is also mixup in the plans
for the summer meeting of the Ha
waiian Board of Missions, dated to be
| held at Kalua on June s and to last
I for five days.
All the mixups head back to the one
question; Who owns the courthouse,
anyhow?
| Those who have been arranging for
the Hawaiian Board meeting at kai-
| lua expect some seven or eight hundred
people to attend the gathering, which
! is a gratifying attendance, but an in
| convenient one under the circum-
stances, because Kailua has no Alex
ander Young to build hotels and there
| is no place for the assembled hundreds
to Law their respective heads under, ex-
cept under the murmuring palms. The
most conspicuous thing in the land
scapc in the WAY of a building is the
courthouse and the idea came to use
the courthouse as a dormitory for the
occasion. To rechne under the shadow
of Justice was considered better than
to lie under no shadow at all.
| Accordingly, Governor Frear. a short
time ago. received a nicely-worded let
ter asking him if he had any objections
to the use of the courthouse as a sleep
| ing quarters. The Governor. in his
reply, also ely-worded, referred the
petitioners to Judge Matthewman, of
the circuit, and begged to remain their

KIIHIO IS AGAINST
BUILDING SITE CHANGE
Will Oppose Amy Effort Made
to Alter the Federal
Building Site.

Delegate Kuhio has sent a letter pro
testing against the reopening of the
question of the site for the Honolulu
federal building. He declares in very
plain terms that he Will oppose any
change. His letter is as follows:
Much to my surprise there seems to
be another movement in Honolulu to
change the site of the federal building.
The Nahuka site was selected by an
unpTe iudice1 representative Of the fed

public opinion When an effort was
made later to change that site, it was
clearly shown that a great Minority of
citizens were still in favor OF the site
