MR. Huber DOESN'T
KNOW Of BAR BILL
SO Can't Take Any Action Againsl
Man Who Sold Booze
To Green

s. G. Huber, United States attorney
doesn't know, officially, that bar
bill from a Whilukn concern was found
among the personal effects Of the late
Captain Francis u Green, and as d
consequence he says he has no inten'
ton Of conducting, any investigation
to find out who violated the law by
selling liquor TO man in uniform.
Mr.. Huber has been informed, unofi
fcially. two or three times that such q
bar bill Is in existence. but that is diff.
ferent. The information was not given
to him officially, and of course I'D
can't act.
Mr.. Huber says he doeSn t even know
that Captain Green was drinking while
he was on Maui. He has no proof Of
it, except that statement made by Cap
tain Green himself, and that, Of course,
is not enough to cause him to start
any investigation. And even If the
selective draft Officer, who always wore
his uniform on duty, did drink while
on Maui as he said he hid, Mr.. Huber
says he has no knowledge that the Of
6cer was in uniform when the booze
was sold to him, 50 there is nothing he
can do about il. g
Mr.. Huber was informed yesterday
that the Governor could tell him the
present whereabouts Of the bar bill
but that didn't impress him. He re-
iterHted that he could take no action
unless the matter Was referred To him
officially. .'',.. ~ o. -
