To TAKE
BOOZE QUESTION
To GRAND JURY
Search for fnformers Fails to
Reveal Whereabouts of Law
renee or PeaZe

What may result from an investiga-
ton undertaken by U. s. District At
torney Jeff McCarn to prove that in
toxicating liquors are sold at Scho-
field Barracks remains a very uncer-
tain question today.
While the grand jury is 4 session
now, and the facts as brought to light
may be laid before it this afternoon or
tomorrow, the efforts to locate persons
who volunteered information to prove
the sale of liquor on military property
have been largely unsuccessful.
The writer of letter addressed to
Jeff McCarn, declaring that liquor is
sold on the reservation, has not been
found, and it was stated this morning
on good authority that Charles A.
Peaze, as the communication was sign
ed. is fictitious name.
Efforts so far made to find Andrew
J. Lawrence, who publicly asserted
that liquor is being sold at the bar
racks, have been unrewarded.
Mr.. McCarn made the following
statement to the Star-Bulletin today:
Il had intended asking the grand
Jury to make it's final report today and
then adjourn for the term, as new
grand Jury will be empaneled on next
Monday. This would have bes7
but for the fact that | read
view in the Advertiser on
morning from one Andrew
renee, who according to the publiSl
statement, knows of certain violations
of the laws against the sale Of intox1'
eating liquors on military reservations,
so thought, in order to accommodate
Mr. Lawrence, and any other patriotic
and law-loving citizen who knew OF
such violations, that l would ask the
grand jury to remain in session for a
few days, in order that these enthusi-
astic supporters Of law and order could
have an opportunity Of unbOsOming
themselves to the grand jury instead
Of having to give out their infOrma-
ton through the press.
II feel confident that Mr.. Lawrence
was not aware that the grand jury
was in session and probably thinking
that it would not meet for a week,
and having this information in his
system, it just busted out in print in
| spite Of all he could do.
The grand jury will ther efore be
in session for a few days, in case
there are others who desire to i'm.
part information where 1t will do the
most good.
In addition to this interview of Mr.
! Lawrence, l received certain informa,
ton through letter late Sunday after
noon. copies of which letter it seems
were delivered to the newspapers, and
the same was published in this morn,
| ing's Advertiser
Finding so many who are willing
to assist me in bringing about a strict
enforcement of the liquor laws, l feel
should be willing to do my part
and hold the grand jury together for
few days to give any other patriotic
citizen opportunity 10 give out infor
nation. not through the press but
through the grand jury, where it will
do the most good"

Chinese Amsi;c can Soldiers 70
Make Trip. Next Year
If They Qualify

Company H, 1st Infantry, National
Guard of Hawaii, will be sent to the
Panama-Pacific Exposition, at San
Francisco next year, if plans now be-
ing worked out by the company COM
mander, with the full approval OF
guard and regular army higher ups,
mature as expected. The company is
the organization of Hawaiian born
Chinese recruited last November, and
as it is the only military organiza'
tion of Chinese bearing arms for Un-
Gle Sam, it is figured that it will be
an Interesting unit of the big militia
mobilization that is being planned for
the 1915 fair.
1t is possible that other companies
of the local guard will make the trip,
as the exposition management is
anxious to have the largest possible
representation from all states and ter
ritories, and Company H has taken
a lead that may be followed to the
benefit of Hawaii
"The organization of Chinese
American company of guardsmen Gre
ated a lot of interest in military cir
cles, not only here and on the main
land. but in Europe as WELL" said
Captain L. W. Redington, command
ing Company H. soon after the
company was mustered in | thought
of the San Francisco trip, but did not
care to give it out until | had obtain
ed proper authority to work out the
plan, and until I could get into com
municatiOn with the fair management
Colonel Coyne, the regimental com.
mander, is heartily in favor of the
proposition, and a number Of regular
army officers with whom l have
spoken are equally enthusiastic. The
company must be in a high state OF
efficiency, however, to be taken to
California 1t will depend on the men
themselves whether they get this
trip to the coast, for it will mean
hard work and faithful attendance al
drills for practically year The com
pany would get a large amount of ad
vertising, and consequently a large
amount Of attention, and unless il
can come through with flying cOlOrs
it will stay at home | know, how
ever, that the men have the right
spirit, and that for the double honor
of their own and their parents coun
tries, they will work hard to qualify
Maj. Arthur Conklin, chief Of staff
of the Hawaiian department, is much
impressed with the scheme.
1T would be a great thing for the
national guard and a great credit tc
the Chinese of Hawaii to be repre-
sented at the exposition by com
pany of organized militia, conforming
to regular army Standards said Ma
jCr Conklin this morning. 1T would
be an experiment watched with keer
interest by every military man.

Growers and Canning Compa-
nies Urge Upon Railroad
Necessity of Spur

For the purpose of solving the
transportation problem of a large
number of pineapple growers on the
high lands mauka of Pearl City. the
Oahu Railroad & Land Company is at
present considering a proposition of
building a 4-mile branch line up the
Kipapa gulch. The matter has been
urged upon the railroad by the grow
ers, and by several of the canning
companies interested, but owing to
the apparent overproduction in pine.
apples, and the uncertainties Of the
business for the next few years, the
railroad has thus far refused to com.
nit itself in the matter. - 50
1t is understood that the project
would require the expenditure of be.
tween $40,0 600 and $4,000. ~.
A survey of the proposed branch
contemplates leaving the Wahiawa
line in the Waikakalaua gulch. at the
juncture Of this gulch with the XII
papa gulch and extending up this last
named gulch 4 miles, which will carry
the track about half mile above the
new government road to sWahiawa.
A. large portion of the John Ii Es-
tate lands would be served by the
new branch, as we'll as various 9th.
er smaller tracts on both sides of
the Kipapa gulch. At the present
time the growers of pineapples on
these lands have several miles of
wagon haul over a hilly road, which
with present low, price for the fruit
threatens to make it impossible for
them to continue in the production.

With Washington In line with the
