KelekOIiO' 5 "Sassiness'
Meets With Quick
.Disapproval IN House

Kelekolo got sassy yesterday and
the house slapped him gently on the
wrist, when il rejected his newly in.
troduced bill, amending the numerous
holidays already on the statutes, by
providing that Good Friday be placed
on the calendar as no-work but full
pay date.
After the introduction of the bill
Colleague Lyman of Hilo wanted to
know what the bill was all about. Ke.
lekolio said its title answered the ques.
tion. Lyman retorted that IL the mem.
Der felt so chesty about il he would
move 70 reject the infant. 81
Kelekolio recited the rules. First,
notice of intention had TO be filed, fol.
lowed by the bill, which would be read
by title; then, when it came from the
printing committee, II would be refer,
red to a committee for a report, and
should Il favor passage or tabling, why,
that would settle IL. T'
Miles Clipped in, and Miles is good
clipper, apropos or not. Kelekolio was
obdurate. He stood by his guns, which
was foolish, in view Of the concentrat.
ed fire, and, while the house members
smiled and laughed, Good Friday went
by the board and the bill was rejected
even without the courtesy of being al.
lowed to pass the perfnnctory first
reading. Kelekolio is preparing new
bill. 3D..

Territory Asked
To Give Help
To Poor Teacher

The assistance Of the Territory for
Miss Bella Mejdell, long a teacher in
the public schools but now insane, is
asked in a letter addressed to Represen-
tatiye Charles N. MARQUES, chairman Of
the house committee on education, by
Mr.. Kong, guardian of the unfortunate
teacher.
In the letter in which he makes the
simple and reasonable request Kong
states that Miss Mejdell was for more
than seven years q teacher in the pub
lie shoots, up to 1915, when she was OBJ
liged to resign on account of in health.
The next year she was adjudged insane
and committed to the Oahu insane
asylum.
II costs $50 a month there for her
care and maintenance, which sum is be.
ing paid by her friends and relatives
She is not chemically insane, but mere.
ly temporarily SO, and Kong says in his
letter that II her friends could devote
for medical and surgical treatment the
money they now have to pay for Miss
Mejdell's maintenance she might en-,
tirely recover. They cannot afford
more than they are now spending.
Kong asks, therefore, that, in view
of Miss Mejdell's long service as Q
teacher, the expense incident to her
care and maintenance at the asylum be
horne by the Territory, by proper legis
lative enactment, in order that her
friends and relatives may devote their
slender means to procuring for her pri'
vate medical and surgical aid. "a

ASK STAINBACK TO
PROSECUTE THIEF
Harbor Board Refers Attorney
General To His Deputy and
Captain MCDuffie

The board of harbor commissioners
adopted motion yesterday that the
attorney general be requested to prose-
cute the men who robbed one of its
warehouses and carried of one thou
sand five hundred pounds of copper and
a lot of valuable tools.
"And for further information the
board refers the attorney general to
Mr.. Arthur g. Smith and Mr.. Arthur

onto the motion by Commissioner
Church and accepted by the other mem
bers of the board. -

ing the attorney general to prosecute

was pretty well known who the thieves
were, as one Of them had confessed.
The subject came before the board
through a letter received from Attor-
ney General Stainback stating that If
the board would tell him who stole
the property, he would prosecute the
guilty man, or bring a suit for the
restoration of the stolen goods. 5
Commissioner Wakefield made few
pointed remarks. 1t was well known, he
said, that the copper was stolen by me-
gro named Everett; for the negro had
confessed. And it was sold to Japan
ese named Full. "The attorney gene
raj, - he said, 'has all the evidence we
have, and more. s.s%.
The copper was taken from the
warehouse at night and loaded into a
cart. Then the thief hired hack to
pun the cart. He saw somebody and
got scared, so he got red light and
put II on top of the cart and went
home" Wakefield added that no man
would be liable TO buy 1900 pounds of
new copper from an irresponsible me-
gro without suspeeting that it had been
stolen. The receiver ought to be pro-
secuted, as web as the thief, he said.
The copper was worth sixty cents a
pound; the thief got eight cents a
pound for it. e.
The statement was made that Depu-
W Attorney General Arthur q. Smith
and Chief of Detectives Arthur Me-
Dufie knew all about the matter, so
the board decided TO refer the attorney
general to them for what information
he needed TO prosecute the thief or

Honest Man.

Annis Burke Of the Claypool hotel
believes that Diogenes did not need a
lantern to find the proverbial honest
man. Burke discovered that individ-
ual when he received a letter from q
man in Louisville, who, several days
before, had been a guest at the Clay
pool.
In his letter the man explained that
when he left the hotel he had procured
what he thought was pair of his over
shoes from his checkroom. He did not
notice that they were not his until he
got to Louisville. He then discovered,
he said, that the shoes he had obtained
were not his, but were a brand-new
pair, and worth at least so cents more
than his had been.
The guest said that he desired to do
the square thing with the man who
had taken his overshoes, and offered to
send the shoes back on receipt of the
necessary postage. Burke said he
supposed the other man had never mo-
ticed the mistake.-Indianapolis News.

(John f. Connelley, Labor Leader.)
Ninety-four per cent of the whisky
made in the United States is made by
the whisky trust. Whisky is made by
nonunion labor, paid only 1919 per
week according to the United States
bureau of census reports. The hours
of labor range from ten to IL per day.
Out of 500 paid for whisky at man
ufacturers price only sos goes back
to the wage earners who made the
whisky.
1t costs only IL cents to make gal
Ion of whisky.

would be unionized, 1t would be -four
years before whisky made there could
be put on market unless it goes out

bottle made by union bottle blowers

DRINK AND WAR COMPARED.

In a recent published statement Dr.
G. w. Saleeby, f. R. G. s., r. F. s.,
one of the leading physicians Of Great
Britain, says that every year alcohol
makes 45,445 widows and orphans in
England and Wales alone, or over 124
a day.
"The first year Of the great war;" he
says, "cost us about $4,000 lives of our
soldiers and sailors. But during every
year of peace, alcohol takes at least
10000 lives in this country. On the
most moderate reckoning it is respons-
ible for one-seventh, or about IA per
cent, of the whole death rate. This toll
of over thousand lives week, year
in and year out, is three-fourths of the
toll exacted by the greatest war in his
tory"

AN ExcRETloN.

ALCOHOL AN ExcRETIoN.
The origin of alcohol is most signi-
ficant of its character.
1t is an excretion of the yeast plant
thrown out because the plant has no
further use for it and its retention
would have a poisonous effect. Just as
the human body is poisoned by an ac-
emulation Of waste matter, so the
yeast plant is injured by its waste
product. When the alcohol has reached
a strength of ii per cent it is sufi-
GENTLY poisonous to the yeast plant to
stop all of its activities.
1t is an odd thing that any excre-
ton is poisonous to the living organ
ism which produces it and to all higher
forms of life. 1.-THE excretion of a
mammal might serve as food for some
of the lower vertebrates and certainly
for fungi and bacteria, but inevitably
has a toxic action upon any organism
of a higher rank" says DR.. Winfield
Scott Hall, Of Northwestern Medical
school, and he continues:
"The relation of alcohol to life may
thus be summed: ~ Ethyl alcohol is
the excretion of a fungus; (2) excre-
lions which are toxic (poisonous) to
the organism which excretes them are
also toxic to all higher organisms; (3)
alcohol is toxic To the Yeast nlant and
In conformity to laboratory observa-
lions as well as to the logic Of the case
alcohol is toxic to all animal pro-
toplasm."
And the layman's conclusion would
probably be: 1.-THE yeast plant, in
common with animals, first consumes
food and then decomposes it. Man
drinks the excreted decomposed food
of the yeast plant, called alcohol, and
naturally is poisoned thereby"
