SPEAKERS ARRA|GN
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Two Mass Meetings Held for the Ma
tional Prohibition Move
ment.

The liquor traffic in this country was
severely scored by speakers at two
temperance mass meetings Yesterday
afternoon. One of the meetings was
for men and was held at the Belasco
Theater. while the other, under the
auspices of the W. c. T. L., was held
at the Columbia Theater.
That the liquor question should he
decided By the nation and not by in
dividual states was the declaration of
speakers at the Belasco Theater meet
ing. 1t was declared that when the
states endeavor to decide the question
it takes too long. In connection with
this argument, former Gov. Patterson
of Tennessee, and Rev. Sam Small of
Atlanta addressed the meeting.
That seventy-five local saloons have
been granted licenses in direct viola
ton of the excise law was the state
nent of Andrew Wilson, president of
the District branch of the Anti-Saloon
League. He said he was unable to un-
derstand why certain saloon was
permitted to operate from March Is to
November II. without license. He also
declared that attorneys representing
many saloonkeepcrs before the excise
board in securing licenses had received
enormous fees.
Representative Hobson's Remarks.
Representative Hobson of Alabama
was the principal speaker at the Co
lumbia Theater meeting. In the course
of his speech he said the federal gov
eminent has the same power to free
the country from the grasp of the
Liquor trust as it had to release the
southern slaves.
He referred to the action of Russia in
closing all the saloons in the country
as soon as martial law was declared.
Mrs Mary Harris Armor of Georgia
in Il short address spoke of the need
for national prohibition.

After the Ad Club members had
heard facts and arguments from a

and interested citizens, they adopted
unanimously motion by j. r. Gait
that committee of three be named,
the chairman to be one, to secure
data on the situation with a view to
laying II before the federal board of
engineers of rivers and harbors, in
Washington. President Harrington
named to serve with him on the COM
mittee Mr.. Gait and Marston Camp

works and one OF the speakers.
Major w. p. Wooten, corps of en-
gineers, u. s. A., and in charge Of the
local office. was the first speaker. He
confined himself to brief, succinct
statement of the situation, sketching
rapidly the preliminary surveys made
and emphasizing the fact that the
board of engineers In Washington has
given the people of Honolulu until
about July % to present arguments

HOLD FRONTAGE
Harbor Board Learns Condition
of U. S. Compromise With O.
R. & [. and DoWsett Co.

Coming as entirely unexpected news
to the Territorial Board Of HarboI
Commissioners, letter was sent to
the board by the Oahu Railway &
Land Company under date OF June
In which the railway manifests an
intention not to relinquish to the gov
ornmenf its frontage and wharf sites
along the proposed channel from Ho.
nolulu TO Kalihi harbor.
Backed by clear statement OF its
rights. based on an agreement with
the federal government so many
years back that the harbor board
knew nothing Of IL. the Oahu Railway
shows that In 1902 the railway com
pany and the Dowsett Company turn
ed over to the federal government
$50 acres Of what is now Quarantine
Island and adjacent ground. and FOR
themselves kept only 50 acres An es.
eential part Of this agreement was
that full and unobstructed wharfage
privileges and riparian rights was as
sured to the two corporations.
After receiving the letter. the har-
bor board last week referred II to d
special committee consisting Of q. D.
Mccarthy and James Wakefield. The
