Chairman Berndt of Committee
Does Not Consider YeSter- !.
days Resolution Binding

The Wood incident" became clos
ed incident with the meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday after.
roon, said Chairman BerEdt of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee today.
There were Is at the meeting yes
terday, two less than quorum Eiey-
en- of those present voted in favor OF
reinstating H. P. Wood as secretary OF
the Promotion Committee, until he
might be given 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. T.. .~sg
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 CT On the Promotion Committee.
Il feel gratified that the vote yes
terday indicated the position Of the
two minority members OF the Promo
ton Committee, but the Wood Incl
dent is now closed, and the action OF
the committee. by a majority vote. &C,
cepting MIR. Woods resignation, stands
as final, as ! now regard It. Yester-
days meeting did not result in any
action to nullify what the committee
has done," commented Chairman
Berndt today.
AS the situation now stands with
members of the committee, Mr.. Wood
ceases to become secretary on July !,
and the committee is already consider
ing a successor. The committee is
shortly to be enlarged by the appoint
ment of 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 1 it is expected that the
enlarged committee will be organized
and secretary is likely to be named
very socn thereafter.
At yesterdays meeting the Wood
incident" vas thoroughly discussed
both The friends and opponents of the
director of Hawaii's promotion work
taking a hand in the debate. which
LASTED for more than two hours. The
members of the Promotion Committee.
of whom four were present, did not
vote on the resolution fayoring Wood s
reinstatement.
Though, from the trend ofthe discus
sion, the feeling was Overwhelmingly
in favor of Wood, no official action
will follow because there was no quo,
rum at the meeting. fte
Chairman Berndt and Ed Towse ex-
pressed themselves as in favor of re-
instating Wood. but opposed to the

EDITOR
FROM KANSAS.

Congressman Thomas of Kansas is said to be
raising a rrmpus because of the congressional
partv's visit to Hawaii A 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 a 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
before with the same object that of giving the
nations Legislators first-hand opportunity to
see local conditions If Congressman Thomas
objects to this method Of getting consideration
forIfawaii, it would be interesting to know
what method he would suggest

WOOD INCIDENT NOW CLOSED,
Though VOTE IS in HIS FAVOR

purpose of the meeting. feeling that
the chamber should support the action
OF its committee
W. r. Harrington was the principal
speaker in support of the resolution
and L. A. Thurston defended the COM
mittee's action.
Il think il is an excellent thing for
the community that man who is
under attack should be given the OPP
portunity OF clearing himself in pub
lie. If there were more of this dispo-
sition to bring matters into the open,
Honolulu would be better off, said
Mr.. harrington.
Harry L. Strange, ]. T. Warren and
W. A. Bowen also took part in the
discussion.
MIR Wood said Mr. Harrington,
lis being attacked in a manner which
hesmirches his character. and for mat
ters for which other individuals were
responsible.
The investigation of the Hawaii
Audit Company disclosed that the COM
mittee had been keeping practically
no accounts. That brought up the
question OF responsibility.
81 am free to admit that, in the nat
ural order of business, ] should have
supposed that Mr.. Wood would have
demanded an audit and that the past
committee would have demanded an
audit.
But the fact is they didn't. and
there has resulted a condition for
which Mr. Wood has been made the
goat
There is no reason for a change
except to derate and cast discredit on
Mr.. Wood In no circumstance has
his work been such as to earn him
the reward the Promotion Committee
has handed him. 1t is not fair, it is
not right, and it is not an inspiration
to others to go forward in community
work
Mr.. Thufston then read from the re-
pert of the Hawaii Audit Company and
that made by H. Cooling Field, al
-eady published, showing that Mr..
Wood had paid personal bills and club
dues running into several hundreds
and had spent large sums without alS
thorization. for which no vouchers
ever were given.
81 don't believe" Mr.. Thurston COM
mented, that Mr.. Wood voluntarily
misappropriated one cent. make no
suggestion of criminahty But he dis
played lamentable incompetency fos
his duties.
VERY full minutes of all the COM
mittee proceedings were sent to Mr..
Wood" said Mr.. Thurston, together
with all. that was published in the.
newspapers He was given plenty OF
time and full opportunity to clear
himself and to this day he never has
done So So far as attacking Mr. Wood
in his absence goes, 1t was not our
fault that. he is absent. We had the
choice of doing something or sitting
idly by. For my part, | proposed to
do something before my term on the
committee expired

AMT. SALOON LEAGUE JUBILANT
OVER RESULT OF INVESTIGATION

zied finance carried on for ? 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 1t be
by territorial or federal legislation.
but in order to prepare the way for
that d,y, 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 viii
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
1t will accomplish in Hawaii what It
has in Kansas.
we are constantly being met on
the street by business men, especially
in more recent days. who freely say
the sooner the better, referring to
prohibitions, and quite often they call
at the office of the league and say, If
prohibition will stop this nefarious
traffic, do all ydll EN- to hasten the
day
1.-THE league fcertainly 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 Macfarl he Company and the Ken
lucky saloon and we do hope that it
will stand hf ffs guns
mot 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 cambaign they certainly have
done thefcause of temperance splen-
did servike."

Or. John w. Wadma1 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 & Mating Com
pany's relations with the retail liquor
business in Honolulu. Upon calling
the executive committee in a 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 concerns which the
league felt sure had updisclosed finan-
eial obligations to The brewery.
Accordingly. the league engaged A.
Lie. Atkinson and Lorrin Andrews rs
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
"And as a result of thst annual
meeting the league is confident that
it has gained point, inasmuch as our
suspicious were well founded and
THESE F6idltOuS IticIEeu " were AiIO-
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.

got it, he continued 1T was not
with the intention of prosecuting any
individual. but to show the rottenness

was concerned and its system Of .fren.

THE met RESULT"

The net result OF yesterdays no-quorum meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce to demonstrate
that four of five of the members of the promo
ton committee agreed that executive H. P.
Wood had failed and should be replaced; that the
regular audit and the special audit of his accounts
showed glaring errors of omission and commission;
that he has not attempted an explanation of these
errors: he took advantage of the fact that he
had lease made in his own name in behalf Of
the Promotion Committee and then charged the
committee $226 to cancel H. and last but not least
that elrsen out Of fourteen members of the chamber
present endorsed and kokaued his actions 1t was
a noble victory for efficiency and splendid example
for the Chamber of Commerce to set the rest OF the
community The Advertiser. S.
1t is precisely this sort of thing that has
made height on Mr.. Wood so distasteful to
the territory at large. Even those who are not
supporters of Wood resent the methods used
to attack him and the unfairness of the cam
paign against him. The net result . of yes
terday s meeting was that full argument was
heard from both sdes-those In favor of Gust
ing Wood now and incidentally condemning
him and blackening his character, and those
against this course; and that by a vote OF
eleven to three those present voted against it.
Eleven voted to reinstate Wood until January
l or until such time as he may have oppor-
tunity to reply to the criticisms against him.
Three voted in the negative The met result
Is that the meeting voted against making Sec
Rotary Mood the scapegoat for conditions for
which the promotion committees past and
present should share at least part response
bility
In other words the net result is the declar-
alton for square deal. Let's hope the whole
situation is soon cleared off the boards and the
community go forward to new business.

the club can be enrolled and names

Information about how to feed, what
crops to plant, what kind of pig to

from the interest the boy will take
in raising the pig, the influence of
