SENATOR BROWNS
BANKING Bill
OPPOSED

After hearing arguments OF the
representatives of the banks and
trust companies Of Honolulu oppos-
ing the Brown Banking Bill, s. B. No
10, the ways and means committee OF
the senate postponed further discus
sion on the bin yesterday afternoon
until March 13.
AT the Invitation Of the committee
the bank and trust company representa-
tives met in the senate chamber at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon The
postponement was made at the re
quest OF the representatives, who ex-
pressed their desire to have further
time to present arguments in opposi
ton 10 s. BIS 20 and 81, which
form part OF the proposed act.
The banking bill seeks to destroy
the common law lines drawn between
a bank and a trust company, and &C
cording to the provisions of this new
bill. IL is said, bank could use trust
money for its banking business.
The bank and trust representatives
also argued yesterday that If the new
bill became law every bank would
be given the additional power of q
trust company.
such a change in the present sys-
TEN is too radical and too dangerous,
asserted A. Lewis, Jr., in his argu-
ment before the committee. Our
present banking system has proven
highly successful Not one bank fail
ure has been noted. Complaints are
not being made by persons dealing
with a bank that our methods are in
efficient If complaints had been
made, the wisest procedure, II would
seem to me, would be to appoint a
commission TO investigate conditions
and make report.
The other speakers who voiced
their opposition to the Brown banking
bill were W. o. Smith, Richard Trent
and E. /. Spalding.

IS BACCH]S ON
THE DECLINE?

Bacchns has apparently lost a
strange hold upon the tnirst-ridder
of Honolulu, if the records OF sale
of unclaimed merchandise and .provi
sions held this morning at the Gus.
toms house can safely consider as a
criterion.
Collector Stackable stood sponsor
for real old fashioned bargain day
at the customs warehouse when a
wide assortment of packages were
dragged forth from obscurity and
opened for the inspection of crowd
of prospective purchasers, numbering
a large percentage OF Oriental bust
ness men.
When the sparkling vintage of
France and Italy goes begging for a
few paltry dollars and is finally
knocked down to the highest bidder
to the tune of four cases of pint bot
ties at Tess than twenty-five dollars,
it is believed that something is radio
ally wrong. with the appetites of Ho-
nOlulu connesseurs.

ing all of the fifty-seven varieties of

UNLUeKY THIRTEENTH
AND SENATORS YAWN

Senators are still saperstitious. 1t
may not be admitted by them express
ly, but the fact was made apparent
this morning when President Knudsen
called the solons to order, and an
nounced that the thirteenth day of
the session had begun.
After. the clerk had read the min
utes of the previous days work. the
president called for new business.
Down he went, down the line inviting
new business falling under the vari-
Gus classes. But the senators sat
silent and waited
No new bills were introduced. for
it was remembered that it was the
thirteenth day of the session, and a
senator with a pet measure under
his. hat didn't propose to take a
chance, be there soup in superstition
or not :.
So the morning session of the
thirteenth day dragged out, and the
business which did come up was OF
the nature which makes some per
