PROHIBITION WON'T
Keep TOURISTS OUT
Honolulu Hears From Denver
Hotel Men, Who Say "0ry"
State Has Helped Business

Absolute Endorsement of prohibition:
and strong statement Of its benefits
to hotel and cafe business, are given
In letters which have come to Homo
lulu through j. H. Causey of Denver,
Colorado.
Mr.. Causey. partner in the big bond
house of SWEET, Causey, Foster e Co.
of Denver. was a visitor in Honolulu
some months ago and while here gave
an interview TO the Star Bulletin in
which he unqualifiedly indorsed the
benefits of prohibition in his state.
Experience had convinced him that
the dry" regime heirs business.
4 He has now sent here originals and
copies of letters from Denyer's lead
ing hotels, indorsing prohibition.
These letters, from hotels in a city
which makes hundreds of thousands
from tourists. are Of special signifi-
canoe to Honolulu, where precisely
the same objection 10 prohibition was
voiced as was argued Volubly in Den
ver-that prohibition will hurt the
tourist and visitor trade Here are the
letters. They speak for themselves:
More Visitors Than Ever
From prominent Denver Hotel,
name not given.
Denver, 3-5-17. g.
Mr.. J H. Causey,
Denver, Colorado.
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of
February %, wish TO preface my
statement with the information that
previous to the state having gone
dry" believed with practically
every other hotel man in the country
that if the state went dry we were
irrevocably lost
The year 1915 for this hotel brought
in double the gross income that 1915
did.
The net income for 1916 was more
than three times the net income of
1915.
The month of August, 1916, was
more than $4,000 better than any Aug
ust ever known in the history of the
house.
The best previous months business
was in July. 1914, when the Elks' con-
vention was here.
January, 1917. was $1,000 better than
August, 1916, and $4,000 better than
July 1914.
This last statement covers the ques-
ton regarding the effect Of prohibit
ton on the stock show In addition
will say that for at least two nights of
this last stock show We had men,
women and children sitting up all
night in our lobby, being totally unable
to get rooms anywhere in the city.
: In the room where we formerly had
a bar We now have lunch room. This
lunch room is taking in three times
what the bar did at about the same
percentage of profit on the raw cost.
The overhead expense of the lunch
room is somewhat higher than the bar
AS to the tourist, have yet to hear
one genuine tourist make any COM
plant whatever about the state being

The foregoing statement was given
the Star-BuIletin today by Speaker
Holstein, who says that, in the present
national crisis, he will stand firmly
behind the administration, as it is
the duty of every legislator and true
citizen to do.
Speaker HOlstein admits frankly
that there was a move OH foot to
secure in the house a vote of lack of
confidence in the governor. But to-
day he casts aside all personal inter
ests, if they were personal, and stands
forth strongly III support of the adj
ministration, he says.
For weeks it has been known that
such a resolution was slowly taking
shape Already number Of resolu-
tons nave been introduced which, It is
understood, were to be used later on.
Speaker Holstein today gave to the
StarBulletin the following statement:

House Changes Front
An increase instead OF a lack Of con-
fidence in Governor Pinkham appears
to be growing daily in the house Of
Representatives.
For the last few weeks it mas been
whispered about the house that a
movement was on foot to introduce a
resolution to the effect that the law
makers are lacking in confidence IN
the chief executive. 49,.
But now, as Speaker Holstein says,
this resolution will never be forthcom
