OVERRIDES TAFT'S VETO
PROHIBITION FOR HAWAII
LOOMS UP AT CAPITOL
Temperance Workers Sudden
ly Appear in Washington
and Begin Hard Work
By C. S. ALBERT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The mat.
ter of prohibition legislation for Ha-
waii suddenly loomed up here without
warning. 1t seemed TO spring up over
night, although has been dormant
since the Introduction of Senator
Gronna's bill. April 29. 1912
1t is too late for any action at this
session of Congress. The idea is not
to force a bill through the senate and
house but merely lay firm foundation
en- which structure may DE reared
when a new Congress comes into life.
For that end the White Ribboners are
working.
Everybody supposed that prohibi-
tion for Hawaii was a dead issue un-
til next winter, when the regular ses-
sion OF another congress meets, until
Ellen A. Weaver of Honolulu came
to this city and requested a hearing
before the senate committee on Pa
cific islands and Porto Rico, before
ma has been slumbering for nearly
ten months. The petition was grant
ed and a subcommittee named to hear
those favoring the BILL

ance lecturer of Minnesota, and one
time candidate of the prohibition
party for president of the United
States, came before the subcommit-
tee with Mrs. Weaver, who is said to-
be an active and prominent temper
ance worker In Hawaii. Both of them
made strong speeches in which they
sought to demonstrate how liquor has
held its iron and deteriorating grip
on the poorer classes of Hawaii and
retarded the better progress @of the
Territory.
At the conciusion OF the hearing an
announcement was made that the
Gronna prohibition till would be TAX
en- up at the next meeting of the COM
mittee. An effort will be made to
have it ,favorably reported: 1t will

nomination of Governor Frear and

peoDle of Porto Rico.

sponsible at the hearing for the de-
struction of the native Hawaiians II
was the reason assigned by Senator
Gronna for the Introduction of his
bill. In speaking on the subject. Mr..
Gronna said:
I'VE have already had abundant
proof that the effect of American Ii
quor has been as terrible in Hawaii
as among the American Indians. We
have assurances that great ma
jority of the educated and influntial
class in Hawaii want the sale of in
toxicants abolished.
Il think the measure will be passed
early in the next Session, if not at this
time"
Many of the strongest temperance
men in the senate oppose legislation
prohibiting the sale of intoxicants in
Hawaii at this time They believe the
advocates of such legislation are not
acting fairly. They feel the matter
should have been deferred for rea-
sonable period before attempting to
secure the interference of congress

how the work Of the Church was more

should have for their example the Lord
