Bill To Take Place Of the Much
Discussed Proposed
!. Senate Act
REPORT COMES FROM THE
HOUSE OF LATEST PLAN
viii Ask win Of People and Pro-
Y vIdessFor Special SEES
sionlf Needed Il

A brand new prohibition bin is TO
be sprung on the legislature, to take
the place Of the much suspected Sen.
'ate Bin SO, which is now in. the hands
of the house Judiciary committee, ac.
Hording to,a report that came out of
the committee room yesterday.
As previously reported exclusively
in The Advertiser, Senate Bin 80 is to
be throttled by the house judiciary
committed, which win report IL out
with the RECOMMENDATION that IL be
tabled on the ground that il enacted
into law, it would be Unconstitutional.
The new, bill, which it is authentic
ally, reported that the committee is
now preparing as substitute for the
senate bin, will provide that the legis.
lature shall submit TO the voters Of
Hawaii at a special election the question
of whether or not the sale and irnporta.
ton Of liquor shall be prohibited. The
bill win carry the further provision
that in case the majority of the vote
is in favor Of prohibitions, the Cover
nor shall, within a stated number of
days thereafter, call a special session
of the legislature to enact prohibi-
tion law.
Another provision, extremely signifi-
cant in view of the charges that have
have been made that the whole prohi.
bition agitation in the Legislature is
only a herring drawn across the scent,
Intended merely to head OFF prohibit
ton by federal enactment, is that in
case the majority of the votes are
against prohibition, as many are sure
they will be, the Governor shall me.
morialize congress to that effect, to the
end that the national legislature may
know that Hawaii doesn't want pro-
hibition. 49, r.' sa 1.f 80 r., ,,,. 4 4
That may not be the Senegambian
that some people were sure was hiding
under the legislative woodpile, but
The new bill, however, would appar-
emily avoid what it is contended is
the unconstitutional feature of Senate
Bill 33. The latter bill would have
the people pass upon a law already en-
acted by the legislature, and it is CON
tended that in view Of the fact that
Hawaii has no referendum law, this
would invalidate the measure. The
proposed substitute bill, however, pro-
vides for a plcbiseite first, and for the
passage of prohibition bill afterward,
in case the people say they want one.
Nc, report on prohibition will be made
by the judiciary committee of the
house until some time next week, on
account of the absence of Representa-
tive Kawewehi, who has gone to Ha-
waii to visit his family. Before leav-
ing Kawewehi, it is reported, requested
as special favor to him that the
committee withhold its report on the
prohibition bill until his return. His
request, it is stated, will be complied
with. .. ....g.' -. .-@..' 3.

SUBSTITUTE BILL
= FOR CHARTER |: Plan
Oahu Delegation Completes Work
With Final Amendment To
Much Changed Measure T..

The Oahu delegation of the. house
finished its work last night on the Ho-
nolulh charter bill, House Bill ID, and
will be. ready to report to the house
as soon as the bill is typed.
However, on account of the numerous
amendments to the original bill, it has
been found advisable, Chairman Wilder
stated, to discard the old bill entirely
and introduced a substitute bill.
No radical amendments, aside from
those already outlined in The Adyer-
tiser, have been made by the com
mitee, with the possible exception Of
one adopted last night as new sub
section. This is intended to prevent
members of the board of supervisors
from debating the appointment of EN-
ployes under appointive or elective
officers. 1t provides that neither the
board of supervisors nor any OF the
committees Of the board shall dictate
the appointment of any person to Of.
fee under the appointive or elective
office, and provides further that any
interference on the part of n super
visor with the city administration shall
be a misdemeanor and punishable with
a fine of 800. H..
1t is possible that the committee
may make its report today, but on ac.
count Of the length of the bill and the
amount Of tipping to be done, il is more
probable that the report will not be
made before tomorrow, ..... .

tons burden, each 70 carry the com.
ruerce Of the United States to the
Entente Allies, and TO break down the
German submarine piracy plans, is the
scheme that the federal shipping com

able for the work at once and II II
proves successful there are two humid
red million dollars more on call, de-
clared Mr.. Brent.
It is likely that the great bulk Of
the construction on wooden ships win

material is at hand and comparatively
cheap, and where there are ample faci;

The plan proposed to the Legislature
by the Outrigger Club, to divert the
waters of AESkehau Stream from their
present channel between the Outrigger
club and the Moana Hotel, to the
stream that flows by Makee Island, is
strongly opposed by Supervisor Hatch.
Hatch points out the very obvious fact
that the wind and the current set from
the south and would carry back TO the
beaches the filth discharged from the
stream. He thinks the waters ought
if possible, TO be diverted to the sea
somewhere near the foot of Sheridan
