Fred Harrison. The bill seeks to re.

ring any of Bartlett's property until
they enter into security to pay q
note amounting to $1555.20 which on
April ~, 1915, was made by Bartlett
for Thomas A. Marlowe in favor oi
the brewery.
According to Attorney George A. Da.
Wis who, with Horace w. Vaughan, is
counsel for the brewery. Harrison is
acting as Bartlett's representative
here and holds his power of attorney.
The story of Bartlett's execution
OF the note with Marlowe oc-
cupied much of the time of
the Oahu liquor license commission
when the commission was investigat-
ing the brewery,s alleged connection
with retail liquor business last June.
II was at that time that the report of
H. Gooding Field, expert accountant,
on brewery affairs, stirred up q terri
tory-wide sensation and finally result
ed in six indictments being found by
the territorial grand jury against Bart
lett. In the meantime Bartlett had
been ousted from office and control by
the brewery directors, but they did
not prosecute him for his financial
Irregularities, and he left for the
mainland, and is now fugitive from
justice.
Marlowe testified before the com.
mission in effect that Bartlett had
helped and induced him to take hold
of the Kentucky saloon and had made
it easy for him to get credit and Sc
cure the note The brewery, it seem
ed, was stuck" for the amount of
the note, particularly as Marlowe's
place was soon after closed by the
commission and has not been allowed
to reopen.

 Can keep her maiden name and her hus- band can keep his. Can retain her maiden name for bus.- name for social affairs. If wife does not like either her own or husbands family name they can change to name that does suit. A woman can wear mems clothing with out any restriction except that she must not pose as man. She can vote at every election. She can hold any office in the state and run for Congress As Kansas probably puts it, woman there can do almost anything a man can That's so.

Dark Days at Coney

Coney Island, the playground of New Workers as we'll as thousands of provincials who visit New York in the summer, has fallen upon hard lines, as result of the untoward conduct of the weather man. Rain and then more rain has been the seasons pro- gramme and a great vail have gone up from dispensers of food and liquids, who declare they have been bank rupted by unfavorable weather. From the "hot dog" merchant to the princely hotel keeper, everybody con- nected with Coney has lost money this year. It is said that 1000 vendors have been forced out of business.
 One restaurant proprietor at Coney Island said "This has been the worst year we've ever seen here. Everybody is broke because of the weather. Why we've had but two clear Sundays all season and it has rained almost every day for a month Before the rain be- gan the weather was so cold that no one cared to go to the island. The weather has bankrupted all of us. It's the worst season Coney has ever known"
 Truly a sad state of affairs, both for the people who make money out of Coney and those who pay out money there for pleasure. Sunshine and warm weather make summer resort, just as surely as rain and cold weather put it out of business. Doubtless the Coney Island vendors are not more troubled over the loss of their profits than Coney Island frequenters are disap- pointed in missing the outings which they were wont to enjoy.
 But nothing seems to hurt the movies The prevalent rains have driven thousands who would have spent their time at some resort, or in outdoor pastimes, to console them selves in moving picture theatres which are easily accessible and of fer an ideal way of spending a rainy afternoon or evening.
