Enough in Touch to Satisfy
Liquor License Commission

After two executive sessions which
continued for more than an hour yes
terday afternoon the liquor license
commission denied the application OF
the Waikiki Inn for the special after.
hour privilege, that would permit the
place to sell liquor from 1880 p. m.
to ! a. m. Liquor License Inspector
William p. Fennell stated the boards
reason for the action was that it
feared little or no improvement in the
conduct of the place could be expect
ed under the management or the
present owner, Jack Scully.
On Scully's behalf argument was
made that the committee of FIVE men
selected by the Inns creditors has
actual charge of the business and that
the committee might be considered
responsible enough to be entrusted
with the special privilege favor. 1t is
stated, however, that this committee
can scarcely exercise a close person
al supervision since its duty is pri-
marily to attend to the financial end
Of the business.
Among those appearing before the
commission to oppose the special
privilege application was the Rev. J..
w. Wadman of the Anti-Saloon
League.
He cited a number of cases tending
TO prove lax supervision on the part
Of the Inn proprietor, particularly the

The long-discussed question of en-

is expended. The public health COM
