MEET CITIZENS
ON LOCAL VICE

Further consideration OF law en-
foreement problems IN Honolulu was
given yesterday afternoon by the
special antf-yiee committee Of the
Chamber Of Commerce when ~ It's
Invitation City Attorney Brown and
Deputy ChilIingWorth appeared before
the committee. ..s
After the conference, which was
held behind closed doors, w. n. Far
rington said that the two city attor-
neys had given the committee much
frank information and their views OF
commercialiEed vice, gambling and
habitforming drugs. Police Judge
Monsarrat had been invited, but an
swered that In his judicial position he
felt that he might be called upon 70
comment on cases possibly coming
before him. The committee will ex-
plain more fully to Judge Monsarrat
that Il 10 not its intention to cause
any such complications, and hopes 20
hear from him at later date.
Speaking Of yesterdays sessions
Harrington said: - - x. ~ 8. = ~
1T Is q mistake to state that the
committee OF the Chamber of Com
Imeree intends TO make public all the
stenographic notes OF information Il
has received. Some OF this infcrma-
ton has been confidential and might
be the basis OF more serious proceeds
ings. We have had closed sessions
and exact notes taken Of all the dis
cushions for, two very important rea-
sons. 80 ~ ~. II
+ First, that. there might be no dis
pute or misunderstanding as to what
has been said at these sessions; no
ficome-backs' or arguments over what
was or was not said and the main Is
sue thus lost in q petty wrangle.
Second, We have NOT had the news
papermen present because their re-
ports are Of necessity fragmentary
| and centsred on what appears 70 be
the high light of D particular session.
The result OF this has been not infre-
Guently that those involved claim un-
fair treatment and the main object II
again lost to sight through petty
Iwrangle that Is q mixture OF unessen-
tial tangehts and mean personalities.
/ In this particular instance we aim to
secure q statement from every side II
possible, then pun the whole layout
before the public. II the discussion
afterwards develops into . name-call-
ling contest. everyone win have the
record and be able to Judge whether
THE calling is justified and the names
