HOUSE ACTS ON REPORTS
Adopts Conference Agreements on
Two Food Bills.

Washington. D. C.-Conference re.
ports on both the administration food
control and food survey bills were
adopted virtually without opposition
by the house.
Opposition by Senator Gore, Demo
crat, chairman of the agriculture com
mittee, who may file a minority re-
port, appears to be the only dangerous
stumbling block in the senate.
Not a vote was recorded in the
house against the long disputed con,

the survey measure the vote was viva
voce, with only a few scattered

AUTO MISHAP
STARTS FIGHT

Warrants are out for the arrest of
Capt. H. L. Reilly, Theodore Nieder-
ost, A. K. Holdstein, ]. Bisho and A. G..
Jardine, on charges of assault and bat
terry. These men, il is alleged, were
the participants in a fight on Kala.
kaua avenue last night, in which Capt.
Reilly and Mr.. Neiderost were so Sc
verely injured when William Hutton,
liquor license inspector, stopped the
fight, that they were sent to the
Emergency hospital for care.
Conflicting stories are told by Capt.
Reilly and Neiderost on one side and
Bisho, Holstein and Jardine on the
other. At any rate, it is known that
as the two machines passed each
other last night on Kalakaua avenue,
one grazed the fender of the other,
someone cursed, the machines
stopped to see the damage that was
done and the fight began. Both par
ties claim that the other struck the
first blow. r. 49,. <. IN
It was also stated that members of
one of the parties were partially un-
der the influence of liquor and it was
for this reason that the steering
which resulted in the clash was irreg,
ular. &C.. ..aa5ss
s Coming up Kalakaua avenue Inspec-
tor Hutton saw the crowd standing
by the side of the street, and draw
ing closer he says he saw Capt. Reilly
and Neiderost on the ground and
the other three men kicking them.
The former were badly bruised, &C.
cording to Inspector Hutton, and he
proceeded to arrest all.
Someone hit Inspector Hutton and
knocked him down when he made his
first advance. He then drew his re-
volyer and held the men under arrest
until the police arrived.
