WATER RIGHT

By G. S. AL BERT

Especial Star-B Bulletin aCorrespp ppndencel
WASHINGTON. D. G., Kng, 8 iRhe
leasing Of water rights on the Gehp-
field military reservation precfpiteted
merry riot in the house. GonAldera-
ton OF the proposition was bItjerly
opposed by Representative Mann. the
Republican lea1ert and he filibnstered
to prevent action. His efforts were
futile, serving only to delay but not
prevent results. plan to dispose OF
all surplus water was finally nailed
on the general deficiency bill.
AS indicated in cablegrarns to the
Star Bulletin the entire matter sprung
up without warning and dropped down
like ton of Pompeiian bricks on q
broken elevator. On July 26 Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald; chairman of the
committee on appropriations, intro
duced a resolution making it in order
to consider an amendment to the gen
eral deficiency bill arranging q sys-
tenn of leasing for the. Schofield water
surplus. This was dropped into the
hopper and no attention was given It,
beyond the fact that the Star-Hille-
ILL was dubLoOu O5 "lIC VI pICoSh-
tation. Nobody here seemed to be
aware that such plan was pending.
Several days later the committee on
rules met and favorably acted on the
Fitzgerald resolution. 1t was later
adopted by the house and subsequent
ly the legislation essential for the pur-
pose of leasing water rights was tack
ed on to the general deficiency bill.
Just why the committee on appro-
priations took action in the matter has
not been learned. ALI such. questions
heretofore have veen sent to either the
committee on military affairs or that
on Territories. This point was. en-
phasized by Representative Mann, in
the rule which made the leg
islation possible.
1t was a noteworthy fact that dur
ing the near-riot in the house over the
leasing problem no member of the
Hawaiian colony here appeared to
protest against the suddenly develop
ed proposition. Neither was there a
deluge of cablegrams from Honolulu
urging that action be deferred until
the wishes of citizens in the Territory
could be expressed.
The whole matter looked to a lay
man like the plan had been carefully
arranged and skillfully executed.

BILLBOARD
AND FRAZIER IS
AFTER PARTIES. J.

A reward for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of, the
persons who pasted brown wrapping
paper over posters advertising the
auto races last Saturday was Offered
today by Charles r. Frazier of the
Pioneer Advertising Company, who
declares that he will have the persons
arrested no matter who they are.
The matter has arisen over the anti
billboard fight being carried on in GER
tain quarters, Mr.. Frazier said this
mornig that one of the promoters of
the meet, after it had been represent
ed to them that if they kept the post
ers upon the billboards they could
not get all the press publicity they
wanted, came to him last Saturday
and asked him to have the posters
removed.
Il could not do it," said Frazier to-
day, because my force was quitting
for Saturday afternoon and it was
too late. did not know until this
morning that someone had gone
around, on Saturday presumably. and
had the posters covered with other
paper.
'"This act is a tresspass on private
property and positive injury to le-
gitimate business and l shall spare
no pains to make it warm for the
people who did il"
Frazier says that the act was done
without authorization from him. He
regards it as the act probably of
someone who has taken up the fight
against billboardS.
