the senate this morning by Senator
David X. Baker of Hawaii, that pro-
vides legal means of checking the
social evil and closing houses OF pros

Drafted by Governor sFrear. the bill
is founded on the aDatenent-by by
Injunction plan that Iowa and Me-
hraska. have found effective and that
has just been adopted Dy the legislas
lures OF Washington and California.
In both of the last two states, the bill
was the subject of sensational fight
in which the clergy and the laity
banded together to secure the enact
ment of the law and did SO.
Under the bill proposed by Senator
Baker, not only may keepers or dis
orderly houses be punished, but TIE
owners, lessees or agents of places
used for such ilIegitimate places may
alse be punished.
The bill makes it nuisance to keep
a house of ill-fame, and provides a

FATE
" IT H JURY
TODAY

Laying especial emphasis upon the
point that the man he is defending had
maintained for over nine years of his
service in the army a high reputation
for honor and loyalty and an excel
lent character, Lorrin Andrews. attor-
ney for w. F. Hagemann, the soldier
on trial for his life in the U. s. district
court, this morning further argued a
plea of self-defense in summing up
the case before the jury.
Witness after witness has testi-
fed" Andrews declared, "that Hage-
mann's character during the entire
time he was in the service of the
United States was an excellent one.
To prove his character excellent and
honorable, he has not only the testi-
mony of all the good men in his COM
pany, but also the statements on the
papers which four different times
granted him an honorable discharge
from the United States Army. With
all the witnesses the prosecution
have been able to summon not one
has been found who could testify
against Hagemann's character"
Andrews then followed the thread
of argument leading up to plea Of
self-defense by declaring that the
prosecution had not shown a single
grievance or cause which would in
fluence man of Hagemann's good
character to suddenly commit cold
blooded, premeditated murder such
as the government would have him
thought guilty of.
In a mastery summary of the case
for the government, Assistant u. S.
District Attorney Biting laid great
stress upon the fact that Hagemann,,
had not stated at the time Immediate
ly subsequent to the shooting that he
shot in self-defense. Biting pointed
out that. alter the shooting, Hsge-
mann apparently showed no regret at
having killed his "bunkie," but that.
on the other hand, he spoke of the
dead man in vindictive way. .H

Testifying that Goo Tai Chong,
former cashier of the First American
Savings & Trust Co., who is on trial
on charge of embezzlement, forged
her name to several withdrawal slips,
Mrs. zap Fong took the witness stand
in Judge Robinson's court late this
morning. Mrs. Fong stated that two
of the withdrawal slips presented as
evidence were signed by her, but that
the rest of them were undoubtedly
forgeries. 1t is now possible, say
those who have followed the case
closely, that Chong will be further
indicted upon charge of forgery in
addition to the indictment for en-
bezzlement which he now faces. A
prominent lawyer, in discussing the
case this morning, stated that Chong
could probably be indicted on Il
forgery charge in case the evidence
against him is found to be sufficient
to warrant such charge Some argu-
ment would have to be made, how
ever, this lawyer said, while the
japanese authorities inasmuch as
Chong was extradited on charge of
embezzlement and can therefore, ex-
cept by agreement, be tried for no
other charge.

Convening an hour earlier than usu-
al this morning. taking off their coats
and speeding through the order Of the
day in short time, the senate was able
to devote an hour and a half this
morning to the second reading of Sem
ator Rice's public utility bill Now,
more than twO-thirds through the
measure, and no serious objections SO
far being made. the advocates Of the
Kauai senator's proposed act were
congratulating themselves when they
went to lunch at noon today.
Several important sections were
reached during the morning reading
and were passed. Just as the clock
pointed to twelve the solons had ad-
ranced to the provisions restricting a
utility corporation from investing IT'S
funds in other similar concerns, and
on motion of Senator Judd 1t was tenn

the completion of the reading, which
will give the senator's an opportunity
to study the effect of such a restric-

point of attack in both Senator Metz

the commission to direct improve

RESOLlTIONCALLS
f OR ANNUAL
SESSIONS

Asking congress to amend the
Organic Act to permit the territorial
Legislature to hold annuel, thirty-day
sessions instead of one sixty-day ses-
sion every two years concurrent
resolution was introduced in the
house this morning by Representative
George P. Cooke Though offered by
Cooke it is known as Speaker Hol-
STEMS measure, as it follows the sug-
gestion outlined by the latter several
days ago.
Holstein believes more work can be
handled during the same number of
actual working days under his pro-
posed system than by the present sys-
tenn: at the same time, it would give
the legislature closer supervision over
the territorial departments. AS it
would permit representatives to sit at
two sessions instead of one, it would
enable that body to have hold-over
committees, which could watch public
affairs closely and at the second ses-
sion present report covering the
various subjects in more detail, the
result of longer and more careful
study.
The resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, 1t is desirable that an.
nual sessions of the legislature be
had, each session to be limited to
thirty days duration and each alter
nate session to be devoted to con-
sideration of financial measures and
appropriation bills exclusively, while
the other session shall be devoted to
consideration only of other legisla-
tive matters,
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved by the
house of representatives of the Terri
tory of Hawaii, the senate concurring,
that the congress of the United States
be and is hereby requested to SO
amend the Organic Act of this terri
tory as to accomplish this desired
object, and that copies of this resolu-
ton be sent to the president of the
senate of the United States, the
speaker of the house of representa-.
tiyes of~sthe United States, and the
delegate to congress from this terri
tory;
And Be 1t Further Resolved, that
the delegate to congress be requested
to prepare and advocate in congress
appropriate legislation to accomplish
this desired object" ..... e.

TONNAGE TAX Is
SUBJECT OF HOT
FIGHT NOW

Opposition strong and pronounced
will be encountered by the PROPOSE
tion to levy a statutory tax of cents
a ton on all merchandise received and
shipped upon the territorial wharves,
for the purpose of providing fund
for. wharf maintenance and improve
ment, when the matter comes up at
the special meeting of the Merchants
Association this afternoon. ...".
"It is practically the whole town
against the ideas of one man." said
Fred L. Waldron when questioned
about the sentiments of the mer-
chants this morning. With Mr.. Wal
dron. when seen in hi soffice, were
T. NJ. Church and Ed Towse, directors
of the association, the group being
engaged in an earnest discussion Of
the proposition. The others agreed
y ith the spokesman in everything that
he said for publication. ...
The imposition of the proposed le-
gal tax" Mr.. Waldron continued,
would cause the automatic cessation
of the voluntary tax of 10 cents ton
on merchandise received, which has
been collected by the shippers wharf
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Merchants Association
for many years. This yields about
$4,000 a year, which is devoted to
sanitation and promotion. The sani-
tary funds are kept for. the emergen-
cies of possible epidemics, and on
more than one occasion have proved
of great value to the community.
From the proceeds of this volun-
tary tax $500 a month goes to the
promotion committee. and latterly
