PROHIBITION TO
HAVE HEARING in
HOUSE MONDAY
Judiciary Committee Decides
to Give Opportunity for Pre-
q senting Further Argument

"A public hearing on the senate bill
providing a plebiscIte to allow the
voters to decide the question OF pro-
hipitlon for the territory will be
held at 7:30 O'Clock next Monday even
inc in the hall Of representatives, Cap
itol building, before the judiciary COM
mittee OF the house, which now has
the bill under consideration.
y The prohibition bill already has
been informally discussed in commit.
tee, but no definite action has been
taken one way or another. No amend
ments to the measure have been sug.
gested as yet, and no changes or al.
terations in the bill have boon sug.
gested in committee.
At the hearing Monday evening all
persons desiring to speak for or
against the measure will be heard,
and the committee will then get down
to active consideration Of the bill.
The sentiment in the house of rep
resentatives seems to be largely in
favor Of letting the PEOPLE vote on
the Qua5tion OF whether they want
prohibition or rot. Already a ma
jority OF the representatives have ex.
pressed themselves as favoring the
bill, although It IS understood certain
amendments will be offered to make
il a bone dry. measure.

President of Senate Names
Committee to Look Into
Expenditures

Senator J. n. coney Of Kauai and
Senator M. C. Pacheco Of Oahu were
named this afternoon by Senator Rob
ert Shineie, chairman OF the wsys and
means committee, to investigate the
expenditure OF appropriations hereto
fore made by the legislature for the
construction Of a prison at kaiihtkai.
President Charles F. Chillingworth
of the senate will ask the ways aud
means committee of the upper house
to make an investigation of work and
expenditures upon the new territorial
penitentiary building at Kalihi-kai and
to file report thereon. &E~ .@ =.
This is one Of the big developments
resulting from the sudden turn OF
events yesterday afternoon, When
Charles r. Forbes, superintendent OF
public works, called upon to explain
items concerning the expense of the
big structure, attacked Ripley & Davis,
architects, declaring that their plans
had to be worked over before being
found disable.
Would See Matter Through
President Chillingworth's fighting
blood is up, and he declared today that
he intends to see the proposition
through to the entire satisfaction OF
the public and the legislature. He
authorized the Star-Builetin to state
that he will ask the ways and means
committee to investigate the PRISON
expenditures.
As things look now there are likely
to be big developments in the investi-
eating line within very short time.
Ghillingworth practically admitted this
today.
Question Not Vet Answered
Forbes has not yet explained to The
president the question that came up
yesterday regarding the money spent
to purchase the new prison site.
Forbes told the senate which sat in
committee of the whole that the SIG,
900 which was used to purchase the
land came out of the appropriation Of
$4,000. Statements made by Auditor
Fisher and supported by vouchers
which he carried down with him dis
proved this declaration. Fisher
showed that the money came from the
sale of other lands and was not taken
