chairman could not tell whether it
would be printed Ii appeared there

Mr.. Warren spoke for his clients for
an hour and u half, and was confirm
ally asked whether his people would
stand for fifty per cent reduction of
the tariff bill. Warren said he could
not answer that, but finally made an
admission which Judge lBallou was com
PEELED to state he could not endorse.
Judge BaIlou stated that as far as
he knew, and as far as Hawaii was
concerned, he preferred the present ill
to any change. .El ,,,
Judge Ballou said he believed MS a
result of this tariff legislation there
would be political revolution in two

the tariff would still remain at the end
of four years. The senators did not
relish this statement at all.

annexation to the United States, and
the Islands and its Industry were
wiped of the map, he would not ctrt

other men said that SO far as Hawai-
was concerned they favored putting of
