TO EXTEND SCOPE
OF LIQUOR LAW

Preliminary to the introduction Of a
bill in the house of representatives for
the amendment of the liquor law, a
letter was received by the Governor
yesterday and by the legislature, from
W. F. Cole, general manager of the
Kaupakalua Wine and Liquor Company
at Makawao, Maui, in which he ex-
plains the benefit there will be to the
small grower of pineapples and other
fruits to permit them to sell to the
winery to be made into liquor and
cordials.
Representative Tavares will probably
introduce the amendment to permit of
this utilization of fruits. 1t viii only
change the existing law by few words,
and is known as an amendment 60 sub
division 4 Of section 9 of act 119, ses-
sion laws of 1907. regulating the sale
of intoxicating liquors.
At present the law only permits the
making of wine from grapes, but the
amendment provides that after the
word "grapes'' in the act there shall
be inserted the words; sand other
fruits grown in the Territory"
The avowed purpose of the amend
ment Is to permit growers to dispose
of their crops of small pineapples which
the canneries now refuse to take for
canning purposes.

CITY TURNED over
TO FH-WEARERs
STRANGERS WITHIN THE GATES
ARE ALREADY MONARCH OF
ALL THEY SURVEY.

Honolulu is the present headquarters
of Shrinerdom. With the official turn.
ing over of the city yesterday, Mayor
Fern delegated all his power and au-
thority to the wilhelmina visitors, re-
tanning only his pOmp. Even his pri'
vate secretary has had to retire and
supervisor is nothing, except the one
fez-wearer on the board, Noble Harry
Murray.
The visitors have been rapidly max
ing themselves at home. After recov-
ering from the initial establishment at
not finding grass houses on Fort street,
savages with spears peeping at them
from the banyan roots and ladies such
as they had seen on picture postcards,
the latest malihinis placked up courage
10 survey the town. They hccked to
4 Waikiki to try the surf; they made
| brave attempts to shake down cocoa
nuts; they looked over the rice fields
and admired the way the spring winter
wheat was doing; they pinehed them
selves every once in while to make
sure that it was all real, and they gen
orally enjoyed themselves.
If an automobile whisked by yester-
day and didn u have a red fez protrud-
ing from some part Of it, it wasn't an
automobile at all, for every auto and
every hack and every street car showed
a red head throughout the day, denot-
ing that the wearer was an ordinarily
sedate man, but playing "being boy''
again. And from the noise they made
it was certain that they hadn't forgot
s ten through the lapse Of years to know
just how to play and get lot of fun
out Of it.
4 1t was Skinner day in Honolulu.
4. There was no mistaking it. The town
was Kaleidoscope Of red fezzes and
yellow and red and green, aAd the
colors streaked by until the eyes grew
/ tired. The skies seemed to rain Shrin-
eTs. They blew into town from Tanta-
lus, from across the Pail, from sugar
plantations, from valleys, from the
plains, and from across the sea and in
the latter instance just about a hun
dred Of jolly good fellows. For the
Mystic Shrine is just a safety valve
for exuberant spirits which must be
1oosed some time and Shrine excur
sion is just the time.
From the moment that the jolly
Shriners struck the town it gradually
4 began to take on hue of scarlet. They
made noise and plenty Of it. If one
didn' appreciate the fact that a Shrin
er or a bunch of them was passing the
fact was announced by an explosion OF
something that split the welkin. The
downtown streets put on new appear
anee. They were alive. There was some
thing doing every minute. The Shrin
ers pushed the big Hawaiian policemen
off the sidewalks and told them that
they owned the sidewalks for the mayor
had turned the town over to them. They
owned everything and every one lei
them own what they wanted.

q uRRRRRRRRRRRRaRnl

So cabled President Taft to Colonel
Jones last night, Immediately after he
had pressed the button that blazed the
front of the Alakea street wharf into
incandescent glory and started half the
whistles in town into proclaiming that
the Elks' Carnival had begun.
For fifteen minutes, beginning two
minutes before seven, the Pacific cable
was turned over to the conversation be-
tween Honolulu aud the White House,
while for the same period all business
was suspended on the direct telegraphic
wire that connected San Francisco with
Washington, continuing the cable con.
nection. To have business stopped over
! so many thousands of miles Of busy wire
is feat accomplished by the Honolulu
Elks, with the cooperation of the Presi-
dent of the United States. How great
an accomplishment that is can only be
appreciated by those who know the in
tricacies and the red tape-to say moth.
ing of the money cost-of the cable and
telegraphic service.
Half-Hour Early.
There was one mixup, due probably
70 pne ulnlculty IN uRuTlnR out tine exact
difference in time between here and
Washington. The Elks had expected
| the President would touch the button
at half-past seven Honolulu time, which
was something after midnight this
morning at the White House. The
President prepared to do his duty at
seven O'Clock, and the Elks did not
learn this until yesterday afternoon.
This was too late to properly advertise,
consequently a large number were sur
Iprised when the whistles broke out at
seven last evening.
Best Wishes and Thanks.
AS soon as the President had com
lpleted the circuit that took in half the
globe, he sent his message Of good
wishes, which came over the direct wire.
To this Colonel Jones replied:
President, Washington: Thanks
and best wishes Elks and people Ha-
waii-Elks."
Later, froe Washington, came word
that the President received and read
| the message from Honolulu before leav-
ing his Office.
