San Francisco, Feb. l5-Congress
may pass laws 10 dispose of 10000
acres of Oregon grant land between
Roseburg and Coos Bay, according to a
decision of the United States circuit of

suit is now before the United States
supreme court.
The decision of the appeal court up
holds United States District Judge G..
f. Wolverton of Portland.

FIVE TO OPPOSE
ABATEMENT BILL

Opposition enough to Senate Bill
10, the abatement by injunction"
measure, had developed up to The be-
ginning of the session this afternoon,
according to those closely in touch
with affairs, to register no less than
five votes against it. :..s
Senator r. H. Makekau, who yester-
day opposed the bill as one not needed
in outside districts, was expected to
lead a fight today along the same
lines, and predictions were that he
would be backed by Senator Kama
uoha of his own island, and by Senator
Mikaele of Kauai, who seconded all
OF .Makekau's motions, over it yester-
day.
Senators Coney and Robinson OF
Kauai and Maui, respectively, also de-
clared themselves against the meas
ure this morning, not on the grounds
that Makekau has raised, but because
of the power it gives one individual
over another.
Robinson says if the bill goes
through he wants it mandatory. He
believes the complainant should him.
self maintain the suit and take the re-
sponsibility for it whether mis- CON-
plants prove valid or not. Coney also
objects to the bill as not allowing right
of trial by jury.
Robinson's proposal is especially in
teresting in that it is similar to a
feature of the California law on abate-
ment which the superior court sitting
in San Francisco has found unconst1tu-
tfonal, as was printed yesterday in the
Star-Bulletin.
Oahu senators, who reported the bill
back to the senate yesterday were ex-
pected to vote for it today and reck-
oned on enough support from others
to put the bill through
One of them predicted today that
the bill will not pass the house. even
though sent down by the senate.

any investigation of the National
Guard by the legislature, Speaker Hol-

ments that | cannot understand We
appropriate money TO build wharves.
Take the $4,000 appropriation for
Honuapo, for instance That was made
at the last session of the legislature
and now we find out that the over
head charges, such as the preparing
of plans and specifications. the hire of
autos and hacks. and hotel expenses,
have depleted the appropriation to
about $4,000 or $1,000. And we find
further that nothing has actually been
done, and now they come in and ask
for more money"
Rumors in the house today had it
that Speaker Holstein's resolution is
but the first step toward a series or
Investigations in, the legislature reIat-
ing to the expenditure Of certain pub
lie money during the last two years.
The house already has requested the
immigration board for information re-
garding the expenditure of money for
feeding certain INDECENT Hawaiians,
Flipinos and Spaniards," and why the
National Guard armory recently was
turned into boarding house" to feed
Filipinos and Hawaiians who we're
contemplating joining. or who had al
ready joined, the National Guard.
Thus far the house has not been fur
Dished with this information.

STORES OPENED FUR MEXICAN
 SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 12. - General Pablo Gonzales, commanding the di vision of the east, has established in this city a commissary and store sole ly for the benefit of his soldiers, where they may obtain articles of nearly every description at practically cost price. Similar stores, it is expected, will be established at other points throughout the district occupied by this division. AS the Mexican sol diers provide their own food, these stores are expected to aid materially in bettering their condition. Similar commissaries have been established for the benefit of the employees of the department of justice and the de partment of the interior. Eight stores for the benefit of the general public have also been opened by the gov ernment.

DRY MA TgON BY 1918 s |S THE
 PREDICTION
(By United Hress)

WASHINGTON, Feh 12. - Ina the entire United state} will be voted dry by the end of 1917 vas the predic ton made here today by the Anti-Sa loon League of America The claim is based on the following:
 Pending dry legislation will be passed at the present sf fssion of con gress, as a result of thei "undisputed' growth of public sentiment in favor of it," and the 139 new house of rep. resentative members will swell the ranks of the "197 meribers of the house who favored thes Hobson na. tional prohibition bill"
 Many of them, 1t is pointed out, have been elected from states which have recently "gone dry" or have de- clared their intention of so doing. Vir- ginia, Alabama, Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan have adopted l prohibition laws since the vote was taken in con- gross on the Hobson constitutional amendment bill
 Tt is reasonable to assume the movement will have all of the congress sional votes of these states-a gain of 15."

 ANNOUNCED
(By Associated Press)

PEKING, Feb. 12. - Liu Shin Shun has been designated vice-minister of foreign affairs to succeed Hsia Y Ting. MT. Liu formerly served as minister to France and acting minister to Ger many and Portgual. He was also a member of the arbitration department of The Hague, and was at one time adviser of foreign affairs to the late President Yuan Shi Kai.
 The change in the foreign office is largely due to the criticism directed against Hsia ri Ting in connection with the negotiations concerning the dispute with the French over the ad- dition to their concession in Tien Tsin.
