ROSE DENIES ANY
VIOLATION OF Law

Down at the police station this
morning little storm is brewing over
certain remarks involving the police
which were made at the supervisors
meeting last night, chief among which
was the statement by Supervisor Lar
sen to the effect that the head of the
police department was violator OF
the automobile laws by not properly
frosting his auto headlights.
"The sheriff merely puts sapolio on
his auto globes and this is nearly
rubbed off," said Larsen.
This morning the sheriff was care
full to show a reporter the exact con-
dition of the globes, explaining that
they were not whitewashed, but
dipped in acid. and although one did
look bit ragged, the sheriff insisted
that it was a good DINNER.
Larsen hasn't any room TO talk
about violating traffic laws, said
Rose, '.and if everyone who drives a
car in Honolulu followed the ordi.
nances as closely as there would be
fewer accidents"
