TWO DECISIONS TO

Effect of the Ruling OF the United

Strong Influence to Bring About
REIMBURSEMENT of Passenger Rates.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The SUI
preme court delivered yesterday what
is regarded here as a death blow to
the , cent passenger rate imposed by
many states upon the railroads.
In two important decisions the SUI
preme court laid down the rule that a
common carrier cannot be compelled to
transport passengers or freight of a
certain class at a rate that is not com
pensatOry simply because the earnings
of the carrier from all classes of bust
ness happen to return a profit
For several years the railroads of
the country havel been complaining
bitterly that state legislation was com
pelling them to carry intrastate pas
sengers without any profit and often
at a loss.
The supreme court recently granted
the first relief through a decision sus-
tanning the power OF the interstate
commerce commission TO override a
state rate when it conflicts with an in
tcrstate rate that has been found rea-
sonable Yesterday : decisions. how

FROM KANSAS.

Congressman Thomas Of Kansas is said to be
raising rumpus because of the congressional
partv's visit to Hawaii. \ Washington cor
respondent reports that part of the kansan'S
complaint is that ''most of the energy in the
Hawaii welcome was directed to urging sena-
tors and representatives to vote to continue the
duty on sugar" This is not strictly accurate
but may be allowed to pass. In any event no
man in Hawaii would deny that the territory
hopes from this visit to advance the cause of
legitimate protection for the island sugar in
dustry That is Il perfectly fair hope. The
visiting senator's and congressman were asked
only to see for themselves Hawaii'S conditions
and Judge whether under free sugar. the
territory's main industry would continue to
produce fair profit or would be wrecked on
the rocks of disaster. Bringing the congress
men here was an open and above board move
by the territory, done through the territorial
Legislature. Similar visits had been secured
beforcwith the same object-that of giving the
nations Legislators frst-hand opportunity to
see local conditions. If Congressman Thomas
objects to this method of getting consideration
foI5lawaii, it would be interesting to know
What method he would suggest. "a

might besgiven an opportunity person
ally TO answer the criticisms directed
against him by three members OF the
committee Three members of the
chamber voted against the resolution.
The others did not vote.
Though the vote yesterday showed
an overwhelming sentiment among
those present against the attack on
Secretary Wood, there was no. quo
rum, and the action OF the meeting was
not binding on the Chamber of Com.
merce or On the Promotion Committee.
Il feel gratified that the vote yes
terday indicated the position of the
two minority members OF the Promo
ticn Committee, but the Wood Incl
dent is now closed,Ea and the action OF
the committee, by a majority vote, &C,
ccpting Mr. Woods resignation, stands
as final, as j now regard It. Yester-
days meeting did not result in any
action to nullify what the comm .ttee
has DONE" commented Chairman
Berndt today. -...ss r.. ...=z--z@z5
As the situation now stands with
members of the committee, Ar. Wood
ceases to become secretary on July l,
and the committee is already consider
ing successor. The committee is
shortly to be enlarged by the appoint
ment.af four new members, one repre-
senting each island, who will be named
by Governor Pinkham when he re-
turns from the mainland Until the
reorganization is effected, Chairman
Berndt expects nothing definite to be
done toward naming the new secretary.
BY August it is expected that the
enlarged committee will be organized
and secretary is likely to be named
very soon thereafter. -: T..

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE JUBILANT
over result OF INVESTIGATION

zied finance carried on for p number
of years by its erstwhile manager,
Charles G. Bartlett.
ultimately, the Anti-Saloon League
hopes for the entire prohibition of the
liquor traffic in Hawaii, whether it be
by territorial or federal legislation,
but in order to prepare the way for
that day, we think it well for us to
seek in every way the education OF
public opinion in, favor of such law,
so that when it does come we will
have the strong backing of our united
citizenship.
without such a backing law of
that kind would be, perhaps, worse
than useless, but with intelligent peo-
pie back of prohibition we feel sure
it will accomplish in Haw iii what It
has in Kansas.
q I'VE are constantly being met on
the street by business men, especially
in more recent days. who freely say
the sooner the better, referring to
prohibition, and quite often they call
at the office of the league and say, If
prohibition will stop this nefarious
traffic, do all you en- to hasten the
day -. -.
''The league certainly appreciates
the work the liquor board has done
and the stand it has taken in regard
to the whole situation, and especially
in refusing to renew the licenses of
the Macfarlane Company and the Ken
lucky saloon. and we do hope that it
will stand by it's guns.
Not only in this campaign, but in
everything the league undertakes in
the way of publicity, it always finds
the newspapers of Honolulu ready for
sympathetic cooperation, and in this
late campaign they certainly have
done the cause of temperance splen-
did service"

DR.. John w. Wadman Says Ex-
pose of Conditions Before
Commission Did Good =.

About two or three weeks ago GER
tain facts came to the knowledge OF
the Anti-Saloon League regarding the
Honolulu Brewing C Mating Com
pany's relations with the retail liquor
business in Honolulu. Upon calling
the executive committee in meeting,
it was decided by the league to en-
gage counsel and appear before the
board of liquor license commissioners.
and protest against the renewal OF the
licenses of nine sc0ncerns which the
league felt sure had hndisclosed finanI
cial obligations to the brewery. IS
Accordingly, the league, engaged A.
L. C. Atkinson and .orrfn Andrews. as
its attorneys and informed the license
board that they would appear at the
annual meeting The league represen-
tatives were kindly received by the
board. which also had engaged coun-
sci in the person of Attorney Clarence
H. Olson. ..s.. .~..
"And as a result of that annual
meeting the league is confident that
it has gained point, inasmuch as our
suspicious were well founded and
these relations referred to were no
ticeably bad" declared DR.. John w.
Wadman, superintendent of the league,
today Doctor Wadm%n was speaking
Of the opinion of the league as to the
results of the annual meeting of the
license board. Il. ~ ~. *
I'VE were after publicity. and we
got it," he continued. 1T was not
with the intention of prosecuting any
individual, but to show the rottenness
of the situation so far as the brewery
was concerned and its system of 'fren-
