BARTLETT WAS STUNG, GOOD
ANDPLENTY, SAYS THE Grand
] JURY IN ITS SALOON REPORT

lFrom Thursday Advertis,r.A

Testimony Directly contradictory in
character, documents that evidenced
that some one has been lying with
frequency and hueney, and tales Of
inside deals and deals inside Of those
were what the territorial grand jury
had to handle in its investigation Of
the saloon situation in Honolulu, espe-
cially in regard to the relationship that
existed, or is said TO exist, between
the saloons and the Honolulu brewery
and its management and employees. The
jury has been hearing all sides in the
matter for the past several days, and
last night its report was signed.
The jury finds that there has been a
lot Of skating close to the law, but
that, SO far as can be learned, none
has overerowded the limit. il finds
that Manager Bartlett Of the brewery
has had 20 pay back a lot of money
he thought was his and that some ons
has been stung somehow.
The Jury also finds that the appli-
eants for retail licenses, in some in.
stances, have bolstered up their appli.
cations by statements that are untrue.
The report in full, made public last
night by Foreman Jos. Gilman with
the approval of the jury, is;
"Honolulu, T. H., July 20, 1914.
"To the members Of the Grand Jury,
"Gentlemen: - The committee ap.
pointed by the foreman of this grand
jury for the purpose Of investigating
the relations existing between various
holders of retail liquor licenses and
private individuals beg to submit the
following report:
elm the first place we wish il, under
stood that the evidence and informa
tion received nv the committee has
been most conflicting, and IL has beer
very difficult to arrive at any accurate
decision. IT, 49,.
"The following, however is what We
believe to be the actual facts: 49,.

adopted regulation to the effect thai
no wholesale liquor dealers could b'
interested in or hold saloon license
1--WE understand that since that timt
each and every one Of the individual
applicants for saloon license, have
stated to the liquor commissioners tina
thew were the only parties interested
in the saloon under consideration, an'
the evidence given to this COMMITTEES
was along the same lines.

nPrior to 1910 the Pacific Salool
Wis owned by Messrs. w. c, Peacoel
& Co. and the license for same was Is

of 1910 Messrs Peacock & Co. sold thi
saloon TO Mr.. G. G.. Bartlett for tn
sum of $4,000. and later Mr.. Bartlett
