viii Accept Prohibition As A|tcPna.
tive To License
Is Against High TaxatiOnAuhOr Of License Proposal
Defends Measure Before Constitutional Convention
And Cites Home City OF Sandusky To Show How
Small NGighbOrhOOd Saloons Had Been Put Out OF
Business While Rich Dives FIOurShed

Columbus, o., Feb. %. - Judge
King, author of the vets license pro-
posal, answering questions during
debate in the constitutional conven-
ton on the liquor license question,
said he would be willing to accept
prohibition as the alternative from
license. He was not sure that the
license advocates would be agreed,
however.
Judge King finished his outline OF
his proposal by the charge that the
opponents of license were attempting
TO load it down with features so that
its true friends would be driven from
support of it. He deCried high taxa.
tlon as means Of lessening the
evils of the saloon business, and said
In Sandusky it had been his observa-
tion that the little decent saloons
where neighborhoods were wont to
gather were closed up by the high
tax, while the big dives continued.
He reiterated his declaration that his
proposal saves unharmed all regula-
tory legislation and the power to
enact such legislation.
Mr.. Knight spoke for the minority
report. He declared his position as
one favoring restricted license and
denied that It was his intention to
load the license proposal in such Il
manner that the voters would be
compelled to reject 1t. He criticised
the King proposal as leaving loop.
holes, and said of 20 lawyers whom
he had consulted there was no agree.

He declared he did not believe in
leaving the whole subject to the gen
eral assembly without restrictions,
hut added he was tired of seeing the
temperance issue the paramount ono

he said, the time would come when
a mans general fitness for a legis.
lative position might be considered.

PENDULUM SWINGS
Plans For Direct Legislation Changed

Columbus, o., Feb. 22.-It is con.

the Wisconsin plan of reference to

majority of Tuesday nights caucus.
A partial canvass revealed that
there was little hope of the unmodi
fed direct legislation theory. To let
no time be lost, during which the
split between the contending forces
should grow wider, third caucus
was called for tonight at the Hart

had little time to draft a new report,
while the protest against the unmodi.

quick action was proposed to remedy
the mistake.
Fear For Whole Proposition.
Delegates Harris Of Hamilton,
Knight and UlmT predicted certain
reversal of the caucus decree Of
Tuesday night, which was called a
tentative vote. The desire for com.
promise was based on the fear that
the whole proposition in the Oregon
form. which already is known to
have been much abused, would be
defeated.
Radicals also are more willing to

are convinced that it will enable

And then the girl broke down and

she might be with her lover, who is

there was not a chance for the young

MATE FORSAKES
|TROUSERS;ELOPES
WITH TABLECLOTH

Richard Killman. third mate OF the
Honolulan, is minis pair OF trousers
and the Hau Tree has lost table
cloth due to Kfllman's scorn for the
conventions and the proprietor Of the
Hau Trees readiness TO assist a limb
of the law in the performance Of duty.
When Killman appeared in the vi
entity of the Hau Tree yesterday even
ing at dinner-time tastefully attired
in sack coat, Panama hat. and a
pair of tan oxfords with socks to
match, there was a shrek of conster-
nation from the feminine guests at
the WAIKIKI hostelry; the police were
summoned and Captain Kellett placed
the offender under arrest without al
lowing him to get his trousers. which
he claimed were at near bathing re-
sort.
Kellett then faced the problem of
getting his prisoner to the station but
the hotel management stepped into
the breach with the offer of table,
cloth, which was draped around Rich
ards person.
Richard did not appear in court. He
had been allowed to go back to the
Honolulan earlier In the morning. still
wearing the tablecloth. When his
case was called Attorney Stratus petit
toned for continuance and sentence
was suspended for six months in view
of the fact that the defendant is leav-
ing the Territory tomorrow.

BIG WATER
Fight ENDED

After all the litigation reported the
past few months, with a host of law.
yers in it, the water controversy be-
tween Kaneohe Ranch Co, and Kane
ohe Rice Co. has been settled on the
basis of a three-year lease of the
water from the ranch to the rice peo-
pie, with privilege of extension limit
ed by the right of>the ranch company
to cancel the agreement, after three
years, on written notice of six months.
An agreement to this effect has
been recorded at the Registry of Con-
.veyances. The rice company having
agreed to withdraw its appeal from
Judge Whitney's decision, and to re-
cognize the ranch company, as lessee
of Mamie r. Rice, as owner of the
surplus water, and binding itself to
abide by the decision, the ranch CON-
pany leases to the rice company the
right to divert into Waikalua ditch
as now diverted, the waters of Kane
ohe stream, and to conduct said
waters to the rice mill at Kaneohe,
provided that the rice company shall
not interfere with or diminish the
rights of those lands, whether owned
or leased by the ranch company or
by others, which by custom or usage
are now entitled to water from said
Waikualua ditch or from the Kaneohe
stream beloY the drain in said stream
at the head of said ditch, for the term
of three years from July /, 1912, for
$500 year rental, with the privilege
of extension of lease as already stated.

socks have been matched for an s.
round go. Promoter Ayers got the
me nto agree to terms this afternoon,
and they will appear as the semi
windup of the Mccarthy Madison mill
August 8.
Kupa agrees to make 165 pounds
ringside for the cavalry fighter, and
as he scaled exactly this amount this
afternoon, there seems to be no
hitch to the match. The Hawaiian
has been keen for matches, and has
repeatedly gone after Jim Hcao, who
didn't scare for his game, and turned
him down. It's Kupa's ambition to
be real Hawaiian champion, and he
can be counted on to try his hardest
against the soldier.
