NOT INVOLVED
IN INN FIGHT
Creditors Desire to Keep For

Mrs Snort. wife OF col John ".
Short Ct the Office Of the collector Of
customs. expresses great Indignation
TODAY over the fact that considerable
undesirable, nOtUriety was given to her
husband this morning in the report OF
night at the Waikiki Inn. Mr.. short
is confined to his home under the care
OF a physician having been at home
since last Thursday and prior to that
dav. for three weeks, was an inmate
Of the hospital The affair a the inn
occurred last Tuesday night and the
creditors, whose representative is IN
charge Of the Waikiki resort, express
ed the deepest regret today that a
story had been published involving an
innocent party in such an affair.
According to F.. H. Kanne, represent
tative Of the Waikiki Inn creditors.
SanbCrn R l.. Short, an employe OF
the customs department, acted in an
unrulv manner at the inn during a
dance Tuesday night and the attention
of Kanne was called to Short con-
duct by several persons enjoying the
dance. kanne endeavOred to get
Short to leave but the latter showed
fight According to kannes story
John T. Scully. erstwhile manager OF
the resort. came to the assistance OF
Short with the result that kanne was
forced to extend himself a trifle and
whip a pair of them.
Scully contends that he merely
stated that Short was a friend OF his
and he would take care of him.
The story Of the fight was brought
cut at meeting of the inn creditors
yesterday and they still are consider
ing action Of some kind, Efforts nave
been made by the creditors to have
Scully kept off the inn premises and
it is intimated that the police may
be called upon to aid in bringing abOnt
this desired result.
Manager Kanne was installed at the
inn in an effort to pay up the many
debts incurred by Scully during the
past year in order that the premises
may be turned over to the latter free
of debt at as early date as possible.
Following the replacing of Scully as
manager special saloon privileges
were allowed the inn management.

Investigator Digs Up Records and
Makes Public His Conclusions.

Bellefontaine. O.-Anson Carter. n
pioneer grocer of Bellefontaipe has
been searching old records regarding
the comparative cost of food products
now and In the past and has reached
this conclusion: Aside from three
things-butter. poultry and meat
prices Of staple groceries In the bulk
are not higher than they were twenty
ive years ago.
"A man and woman can 20 to house
keeping today in better manner for the
same amount Of money than a couple
could quarter Of century ago. II is
the desire Of the buying public to have
so much prepared food and 30 many
things done up in attractive packages
that has Increased the cost Of living.
THE average can Of baked beans
does not contain cents worth of
beans, and package Of crackers con.
tains but little more than four ounces.
People are avoiding preparing food for
themselves.
IF people would continue to buy
everything In the bulk at the grocery
as they used to do and cook their food
for themselves as they used TO do there
would not be a high cost Of living prob
