Senator's Asked to Speak
Senators who prevented the passage
of the armed neutrality bill were
asked yesterday by the Emergency
Peace Federation to speak at mass
meeting to be held at Carnegie Hall
Tomorrow night. The occasion is to
be known as Congressional Night"
The purpose is TO show that the Sem
ators, in blocking the bill. did repre-
sent opinion other than their own"
The federation yesterday sent this
telegram 10 Senator'S La Toilette.
Stone and Norris: The federation
desires to express its grateful recog-
milton of the courage and devotion
with which you have served the cause
Of peace and democracy. We believe
you represent vast though unknown
number Of Americans whose earnest
desire it is that this country should
not be drawn into war. directly or in
directly"
To Senators Vardsmsn, Kirby,
Lane. Gronna. Works, 0'Gorman.
Clapp, Cummins and Jones a similar
telegram was sent.
Action Is Praised
Rebecca Shelly, secretary Of the Fed
Grafton. said: These men took stand
which required, at least in many cases.
a high degree of moral courage. To
stand out in such an hour as this
against the expressed will OF the Chief
Magistrate is not an easy thing to do"
David Starr Jordan. chancellor of
Leland Stanford University. tele-
graphed the Federation yesterday:
Even if an American vessel with
Americans on il were destroyed, it
would not be a sufficient reason FOR
plunging the entire nation into a war
which would involve US in disputing
such questions as the pan-German plan
of an empire to the Persian Gulf or
Russia's title 10 Constantinople. No
nation at war can be true democ-
racy."

Milwaukee's Citizenship
Glasses Doubled by Break
Nearly All Evening School
Students of German Birth

Milwaukee, March g. Evening school
classes offering instructions in the
principles Of American government
have nearly doubled in size since the
diplomatic break with Germany.
Despite the fact that German
sympathies have been voiced loudly in
this city ever since the war began,
nearly 90 per cent Of the adults in the
night schools, receiving instructions
which may enable them to become
American citizens, are Of German birth.
One German complained to-day TO a
teacher in a citizenship class that he
mad spent more than 800 in his efforts
to get his final papers. He said that he
did not regret spending the money. but
disliked troubling his friends. whom he
had called upon 20 be his sponsors.

RECONSIDERATION OF
HIS ANTHOLOGY BILL

That now famous Legislative ap-
pearance" bill, child of Senator S. l..
Desha, which was passed Friday
by the upper house after its teeth
had been extracted by an eleventh
hour amendment, has still another
chance to visit the dentist.

true it will return with as fine set
of molars as II had before the opera

have been told that with the amend

power is gone, its teeth have been
pulled, and it is no earthly use now
save to fill up the lawbooks.
Il had hoped" continued the sena-
tor, that maybe the legislators across
the hall would doctor it, making it
strong again, but they scorned me
when l talked to them, saying: What,
will we doctor a crippled child not
our own?
Desha wanted the cripple put out
of it's misery Either let it die by
being tabled in the senate he said,
or let 1t pass as it was. Finally, on
motion of Senator Pacheco,s reconsid-

NAVAL MILITIA
NEEDS ARMORY

Senator ]. II. Coney. chairman Of
the senate military committee, has
made up his mind that Hawaii's Naval
Miiitiamen shall have a proper arm
DRY in which to drill. coney said this
morning that this is one Of the propo-
'sitions which he will favor strongly
in his committee.
Coney was much impressed with the
Parade yesterday and as much as any
with the showing of the Naval Militia
He remembered that the only place
the group OF boys in natty white uni
forms has TO drill is the old Bungalow.
: The military committee chairman
expressed the belief today that the
ancient structure is unsafe for large
gatherings of men.
We had a public hearing there on
some question last session" he
says, and was in mortal fear all the
time that the place would collapse
with the crowd. 1t certainly cant be
very safe place for men to drill"
Coney believes that practically all
OF the requests for armories will go
through the legislature. These things
are needed. he says. and are cheap in
comparison to the use they may be
put tn.
What about the governors request
ed contingent fund.-" he was asked.
II expect to see it cut down-way
down." he answered briefly.

BLOODTOWN' IS
WARNED IN Time

Wahiawa Is still living up to the
sordid nickname "Bloodtown," from
an account brought back by Acting Lii
quor inspector John Roberts, of the
wretehed conditions there.
Roberts went down on a blind-pig
raid Saturday morning, hoping to
make a big sweep of Illegal liquor
sellers, but caught only one. Yama-
shita, Japanese, who was fined 800
in police court this morning.
The latter. however, had enough Ii
quor to maintain a thirst-quenching
emporium for some time, with 100
quart bottles of beer to start with,
which were eonfiscated.
II all the beer and other intoxicat-
ing drinks in Wahiawa were found it
would require several cars to bring it
to town, according to Roberts.
The liquor inspector declares that
the soldier frequenters of Wahiawa
have set up an elaborate warning sys-
tenn which is hard to beat and besides
are becoming bold in their open def
ance of authority from Honolulu.
Made Open Threats
According to Roberts one soldier
vented his spleen upon the late in
spector, w. P. Fennell, by a profane
remark and another, who gave his
name as Williamson. and is said to
be with the artillery at Fort Kane
hameha, told Roberts. IF you come
down here again Wen knock your
block off.
Policeman NJ d. Roberts, borrowed
from the Honolulu department for the
raid, was Roberts only assistant, and
together they advised a crowd of sol
diers that was following them. and
showing generally belligerent atti-
tude. that they had better not start
anything"
1t is almost impossible to get near
Wahiawa now at night by the ordin-
airy methods. says Roberts. due to out
posts of soldiers on the roads, who
take turns passing the word along
when Honolulu officers approach.
Roberts is sure he could have
caught any number of others Satur.
day if soldiers had not tipped them
off. The second place Roberts visited
he found marks of bottles which had
shortly before rested upon ice in the
refrigerator, but had been hid when
his presence was reported.

OLDLAW SLATED
FOR REPEATING

Members OF the senate Judiciary
committee this morning agreed to the
wiping out of an old law which has
apparently lost much Of its usefulness
when they agreed unanimously to
recommend house bin 1916. relating to
the custody Of wills, to the senate
proper, for adoption.
This law. which was passed nearly
40 years ago. provided that within one
month after they had taken wills in
probate. judges should send copies of
the documents to the clerk OF the
supreme court.
The purpose Of this, IL was stated
today, was to guard the wills, as few
of the circuit courts at that time were
so equipped with fireproof vaults or
safes TO protect such records.
II was decided by the Judiciary com.
mittee today that such a law should be
repealed. as provided In the bin under
discussion, and such recommendation
was made In the report to the senate.
House bin so. relating to thefts Of
automobiles or other vehicles, was
amended TO contain provision for cash
fine OF $1,000 in lieu OF or in addition
to Imprisonment
The committee decided to pass
house bin SO. relating TO the appoint.
ment OF men to fin vacancies on
boards OF supervisors, with an amend
nent added which viii make the bill
identical with one already in the SEN
ate. One OF the two bills will probab-
" be Withdrawn before being sent 10
the governor Tor approval.

APPORTIONMENT
OF LEGISLATORS
AGAIN COMESUP
Senate Committee is Consider
ing Representation; Castle
May Have Solution

As a solution TO that bothersome
question Of legislative reapportion-
ment. Senator A L. Castle, chairman.
OF the senate judiciary committee, to-
day declared himself in favor OF the
Introduction OF a concurrent resolution
petitioning congress to amend the Or
ganie Act.
Castles suggestion was made in a
meeting OF the judiciary committee,
where the question Of reapportion-
lnent had been brought up by the con-
sideration of Senator Pacheco's appor-
tionment bill. Castle asserted that
the plan he would propose to congress
as change from the present act
would be to leave the number OF SEN
ators the same as now but increase
the number Of representatives. making
a larger total in the lower house.
Adopt Congressional Plan
Il would follow in general the sys.
TEN in the United States congress, "
said the senator, where the number
of senators remains unchanged but
the representatives increase with the
general population.
ITO my mind this is fairer than TAX
ing from one island TO add to another
which would be the result of reappor-
tionment as proposed in the Organic
Act"
Warm Fighting Expected
At the conclusion Of considerable
good-natured debate the Pacheco bill
was laid aside to think II over" The
consensus OF opinion was that its
threshing out at the present time
would stir both house and senate with
hot fighting.
Pacheco's plan, IL was understood
by the committee, was to equaliZe
power by reapportioning for represen-
tatives only but it developed that this
was not the provision of the federal
act.
Act Termed Obsolete
Senator Coney OF Kauai declared the
act is obsolete. Congress intended
for the first legislature after 1910 to
make that reapportionfhent. he be
heyed. and Just because certain fill
busterers" had prevented its passage
he saw no reason why the present one
should take up a task obviously moi
its own.
goney stroked his grazing hairs and
smiled at memory of the famous ses-
sion. ''lt was a great old fight. he
said.
increase But Not Decrease
~Well, this says from time TO time
thereafter. Chairman Castle pointed
out "As q man from Oahu I'd have
10 sign a minority report amending
the first section OF Pacheco's bill so
as to follow the federal act. couldn't
agree with the rest of you to table it
entirely
Senators Makekau and Kamanoha, OF
Hawaii were silent and smiling, but
Senator Robinson Of Maui had an idea
all his own that the Organic Act al
lows increasing legislators from one
island but never decreasing them.
''You can't lose what you've already
got" said Robinson, but you can add
TO IT, Don't you see?"
None of the others did and the bin
was finally laid aside to be taken up
at later meeting.
