Seeing the Monitor retire from the

PROHIBITIONISTS
In FAVOR OF
GRONNA BILL

The consideration of number of
applications for new liquor licenses
which were presented at the last
meeting CT the board of liquor license
commissioners, will comprise the main
business of the Anti-Saloon League,
which meets Thursday afternoon.
. Secretary Part, of the league. stated
this morning that plans would be
drawn up at the meeting to more fully
organize the local forces which are
working for the passage of the Gronna
bill, which is now before congress,
and which provides for prohibition for
Hawaii. That the bill has better
chance of going through now than it
has ever had before is the opinion of
the members of the league, and they
have come to the conclusion that
definite action on their part is neces-
sary in order to set forth the believed
good results which would come with
the passage Of such BILL 1t is now
only a matter of time, they claim, and
within year they expect that the
bill will have been passed.
IF our slogan. Prohibition for Ha-
wall in 1876 has any effect said
Fart this morning, we will then adopt

ed to the possibilities but did not seem
to indicate the final choice for gov
ernor of Hawaii.
If Secretary Lane had his own way
Governor Frear would continue to
hold office until the Democrats of the
territory could agree on his successor.
He is weary of the perpetual wrang-
ling that has prevailed since the cleo
ton of last November He thinks it
would be appropriate punishment to
leave the Republicans in control until
the Democrats could fight out their
differences among themselves.
The Republican senators have vir-
tually reached a determination to not
oppose the confirmation of Governor
Frear's successor. While no definite
conclusion has been effected it be-
came self-evident that majority did

Irwin believes the placing of sugar
on the free list will greatly aid in the
populating of Hawaii with Asiatics
He thinks the territory will be rapid
ly colonized by that element and all
Caucasian labor driven out.
In discussing the effect of the pro-
posed tariff revision, Irwin said:
Free sugar would ultimately make
Hawaii an Asiatic colony, and mere
outpost of the Japanese empire. The
question becomes more important
when we consider that the United
States government is spending mil
lions of dollars to make Pearl Harbor
and its environments, on the island OF
Oahu, the Gibraltar of the Pacific. The
result of free sugar would be to settle
the status of Hawaii beyond recall, cx-
cept at a price which we as a peace
loving nation would deplore. The
question of free sugar or no free SUI
gar is a question of finance, involving.
at most, a small amount per capita to
be paid by the people If our indus
trial condition in Hawaii remains I'M
changed, We can continue our policy
of encouraging Caucasian labor, thus
offsetting the Asiatic preponderance,
but if our industrial conditions are
changed we shall eventually have our
Gibraltar of the Pacific entirely sur
rounded by the very people from
whom it was designed to protect us.
Make of Hawaii an Asiatic colony and
you have moved the outpost of Japan

GRAND JURY TO
INVESTIGATE RED
Light QUESTION

That nc question rs 20 whether or
not houses OF ill-fame in the Iwilei
district are to be closed down will
be brought before the grand jury for
decision in the near future became
known this morning. Sheriff w. P.
Jarrett, 10 whom was addressed the
petition of about a dozen corpora
tlons located in Iwilei asking that the
law be enforced in regard to houses
of ill-fame, stated this morning that
he will ask City and County Atsor-
ney John w. Cathcart to present the
matter to the grand jurors of the cir
cult court. IF the grand jury says
that houses in Iwilei are to be
closed" Jarrett said, 81 shall take
immediate steps to close them"
Attorney Cathcart stated this
morning that he has not yet been Of
ficially notified of, the petition and
that he will take action in the matter
as soon as he is so notified.
The corporations which have asked
Sheriff Jarrett to enforce the law in
regard to houses of illfame in Iwilef
hold the opinion that under the pres
ent laws of the territory such houses
may tie closed by Injunction upon pc
tition of citizens in the affected dis
tricts.. In case the corporations are
able to sustain their claim. citizens
in any part of Honolulu will have the
same right to do away with houses
fostering the social evil in any par
ticular district.
The petition signed by the officers
OF the Iwilei corporations and put in
Sheriff Jarrett's hands is as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned employers Of
labor in the Iwilei district of Homo
lulu, hereby call your attention to the
fact that in the past few years the
Iwilei section has come to be the
manufacturing section of Honolulu.
IL now contains the extensive works
of the Standard Oil Company, the
Union Oil Company, the Associated
Oil Company, and also the Gas
Works, Fertilizer Works. the factory
of the American Can Company, the
Soap Works, and the two largest
pineapple oanneries in the world. 1t
also is directly tributary to the
wharves and railroad yards, and it
seems important for the population
working in this section that such of
the area as is not occupied by the
factories should be available for the
homes of the working people.
1.-The well known use to which the
larger part of Iwilei is now devoted
Is such as to make it practically inn
possible for this section to be devot-
ed to the homes of the people, and
IL is at present dangerous and I'M
pleasant for female employees of the
various concerns to go to and from
their work through this section.
I'VE feel therefore that it is atso-
lutely necessary that from now on
the law in regard to such matters
must be enforced in Iwilei. and we re-
spectfully ask that you take prompt
and vigorous action to remove this
evil from Iwilei." (Signed) Hawai-

serving Co.. Ltd; Standard Oil Co..

artillery halted on the last ridge, firing

The Monster Ram on the Rampage.
In order to economic in time as well

United States war frigate Merrimac

been burned to the waters edge in the.

owners christened her the Virginia. but
the original name has passed into his

a Confederate ram. Nothing was lack

seven inch rifle each in bow and stern

and was at the mercy of the enemy.
Her commander, Captain ]. P. Smith,
was killed at the first fire. The Mer-
rimac steamed up within twenty yards
and riddled her with shells and hot
shot. The frigate Minnesota grounded
when attempting to enter the fight, but
the st. Lawrence and Roanoke hurled
broadsides at the ram with no other
effect than to cut away her unprotect-

Fortress Monroe for the protection Of

dreaded ironclad ram Merrimac. From
the way the Merrimac had smashed

like hopeless case for the little black
