G. O. P. Members Expected to
Stand Together Against
Patronage InroadS

With a new board of supervisors
ready to take office July 1 a question
which arises is to what extent the
members will go in drawing the rules
Of their procedure. At present the
rules give the mayor the right to ap
point the chairmen of committees, the
heads of departments and men to
minor positions such as the jaHitors
of schools.
1t is also expected that the Repub.
lican members of the board will dis
approve of any change of department
heads being made by Fern. When
Fern takes office the present zap.
pointive) heads of departments GO
tut of office automatically, but con,
tinue to do the work until their sue
cessor is appointed and qualities.
None can be appointed without the
approval of a majority of the board
of supervisors. Because of this it is
believed that it will be impossible
for Fern to remove any of the pres
ent Republican appointees.
If the five Republicans stand to-
gether, the present appointive heads
Of departments, it is expected, will
remain. Charnes Arnold would re-
tain the Craftsmanship of the road
committee, William AHA, health and
sanitation, and Ben HolIinger, parks,

And as the war department regula-
lions now require all army men to ap-
pear at all times in uniform, the pro-
hibitive order recognizes no indi-
vidual exemptions.
Attorney Huber says these sections
of the act are now in effect in Ha-
wall and that his office is prepared to
enforce the provisions. The section
not only provides that booze shall not
be sold to soldiers in uniform, but
also makes it a crime to have liquor
on any military reservation, or at any
fort or post. Not even in clubs where
liquor Is sold without profit, or even
given away, including officers or en-
listed mems clubs, can a man in uni
form quench his thirst via the cock
tail route.
One Exception 10 Made
Only one exception is made, that
being that the secretary Of war may
make regulations for the use of liquor
for medicinal purposes. Another pro-
vision is that the President may order
strict prohibition within any pre-
scribed area.
For instance" says Attorney
Huber, "the President may have Is
sued such orders relating to Homo
lulu, but, If he has, this office has not
received copies"
A portion of section II, prohibiting
the sale of liquor to officers and en-
listed men in uniform reads as fol-
lows: .-..---.-.,..1s.,
"If shalt be unlawful TO sell any
Intoxicating liquor, including
beer, ale, or wine, to any officer

!. AIDS BOAT CLUBS

Chairman Charles R. Forbes Of the
harbor board will recommend to that
body tomorrow afternoon plans for
taking care Of boat clubs along the
waterfront by allowing them an area
of approximately 10000 square feet on
the eva end of Pier 2.
Briefly outlined, Forbes plans are
to allow the clubs that portion of the
harbor lying between Pier and Fort
Armstrong. This will be an area of
the width of the, pier-90 feet-and
212 feet in length. The boat houses
wonld be erected on the shore mauka
of the proposed area.
Members Of the boat clubs were to
call upon the chairman today to dis
cuss the matter. Forbes does not be-
ieye the harbor board will allow the
plan suggested by them whereby an
area several feet nearer town would
be used. He says this would inter
fere with the boards plan of convert
ing the pier into large lumber wharf,
and that the proposed area is needed
for shipping.
