FUTURE IS DARK

Raleigh Minister Condemns CITY
for Providing Beer at State
Conventions.

Raleigh. y. c.. June IS.-The action
of the entertainment committee Of the
Raleigh. Chamber OF Commerce In pro-
viding beer for the State Republican
and Democratic State conventions and
maintaining dispensing headquarters,
where the beer was served on prcsen-
tation OF service tickets by the dele
gates, came in for scathing denuncia-
ton at Tabernacle Baptist Church Sun
day, in the course OF sermon on
"Perplexing Problems" by Rev C. Z.
Maddry. He branded as exceedingly
lame the excuse offered that Charlotte
provided beer for the delegates. and
that Raleigh must do so or not get the
conventions. For my part" he de-
clared. Charlotte IS entitled to all
the conventions Raleigh has to Sc
cure with so dsgraceful a price" IL.
declared that all the newspapers over
the state are harpins over Raleigh's
splendid hospitality. and her chief hid
for this praise was the dcbauching of
the electorate of the state He said
much OF the money for entertaining
the convention was solicited from
ardent prohibitiopists and then applied
to the dcbauchinS OF the men whom
the city had Invited to be her guests.
"It was to say the least he said
dishonest to take the money from
Proh!bitionists and then use il to buy
liquor to serve openly to the men of
tho two conventions. The future for
prohibition looks dark indeed" he
said, when tho capital city of the
state openly lends herself to the vio-
lation of tho law; and 1t is done. too.

parties in whose hands rests tho main

The Flannery case. the opinion in
which was delivered by Judge Keith.

EXPERTS
ADVISED ON
DESKS

1t was on the advice of Superintend-
ent of Education Pope and Principal
NJ. M. Scott of Mckinley High School
that the Oahu Loan Fund Commission
decided on the Peabody desk as the
best desk for its purposes, and this
was the reason that the commission
awarded the desk contract to the Ha-
waiian News Company, according to
an explanation of the whole matter
made this morning by Secretary Pc
4trie of the commission.
Mr.. Petrie ant other members of
the commission are of the opinion
that the whole controversy is need
less. Whether or not G. N. MARQUEE,
of the Office Supply Company, who
contends that as lowest bidder he is
entitled to the contract. will really
ask an Injunction, the members Of the
commission did not know today, but
they felt sure that they are we'll with.
in their legal rights.
sThe drawing of the specifications
which, it is admitted, means that only
the Peabody desk could be supplied
under these specifications, was simply
in line with the opinion of the COM
mission previously expressed said
Mr.. Petrie this morning Some time
ago when the matter of the kind Of

desk to get was brought up, the whole
commission was agreed that the Pea
body desk was the most desirable. It
has been In use in Mckinley high
school for five years and has proved
durable and well fitted for school use.
Mr.. Pope and Mr.. Scott both said IL
was the best desk
THE first bids were not acceptable
because an oversight had been made
in the call for bids. no certified check
being called for to accompany the
Sids. When the tender was readyer-
tised, the specifications were drawn to
secure the kind Of desk the commits
sion had already decided for.
Under the law, We are informed by
the attorney general. the commission
is not compelled to award the con-
tract to the lowest bidder. We can
use our discretion. We felt that the
Peabody desk was the best and decid-
ed that these desks should be secured
even though there was some slight in
crease in cost over the other compel
ing desks.

Hears impossible Must Happen

o. King Kamehameha, the Great,
standing with eyes fixed in alteration
on the royal figure for hours at a

place this morning minus the tattered
beard which has long decorated his

markable in this was 1t not for the
fact that in order to appear clean
shaven Manuel broke a vow.
1t appears that when the work OF

made vow that he would not shave
until it was completed. Months have

James Lynch, manager of the In.
corporated company which bears his
name, came up smiling following his

the figure submitted by the Honolulu
Iron Works, his rival In the steam

latter company at recent meeting,
through representation of Mr.. VALID

municipality for $1,000. When Mr..
