Bartlett'S Pardon
May Prove ts>,!i.
To Be Ineffective

If G! g. Bartlett, former president
and manager of the Honolulu Brewing
and Mailing Company, who has been 3
fugitive for two years, comes back to
Honolulu, the Governor 5 action in is
suing to him n pardon designed to
quash indictments charging forgery and
perjury will be questionedb in court
This seems apparent from the fact that
the indictments, six in number have
not been stricken from the court cal
endar and also from City Attorney A.
NJ. Browns comment that his office
"wOuld be in no hurry to remove the
indictments from the court calendar
In view Of the fact that the pardon
was issued before Bartlett had officially
been tried or convicted of any offense.
az he was never caught after he had
fed from Honolulu, the Governor s ac
ton occasioned no little establishment
particularly in legal circles, though the
executive at the time cOntended he was
acting within the law. Other opinions
advanced were that the Governor could
not issue pardon for an offense that
had never been established so far as
court records are concerned.
II Is now seen that the city attor
ney's office is not inclined to accept
the Governors views and that If Bart
lett comes back and is arrested, wheth
err the pardon will hold water will have
to be determined by court action.

maui IN DOUBT AS
TO BOOZE LICENSES

Whether Maui will go dry on July
l, or whether the agony win be drawn
out for six weeks or so longer, may be
left for the liquor men themselves to
decide. There is now a Likelihood
that the liquor commissioners may res
cind their previous intention of re.
fusing to issue any licenses to sell
liquor on Maui after June 80, and may
renew the permits of the present deal
srs if any of them care to have them.
This new phase Of the situation is
brought about by the passage last week
by the congress of a bone-dry. prOhibi.
ton law for Hawaii. which will 60
into effect for all the Islands 80 days
after the President signs the act, or
probably the latter part of August,
That the extra time be given the deal
ers to dispose of their stocks on hand
with less likelihood Of serious loss, was
suggested at a meeting Of the license
board held on Wednesday.-Maui News

ISLAND VOLUNTEERS
ARE MUSTERED m
viii Be Drilled Until Day Of De-
parture Comes -

The detachment Of Hawaiian volun.
teers for the United States Engineers
have been enlisted and are now in uni
form at Fort Shafter. They were or
dered to report yesterday and will be
drilled until It IL time for them TO
leave the Islands. ...'. 4a
The island volunteers number about
fifty, almost all below draft age, The
number would have been almost half
again as large had II not been for the
order from Washington prohibiting the
induction into federal service of men
who come within the draft age limits.
4 humber who had applied for Undue,
ton to the engineers were shut out by
this order.
It was expected that the, volunteers
would leave Honolulu early in May, but
lack of transportation prevented their
departure. Many of the boys had CIV
en- up work and some had come to Ho'
nomm from the other islands on the
expectation of speedy departure to
the Coast. As their departure was de
layed their funds ran out aud some
were becoming decidedly hard up. The
government has now put them on the
army pay roll 20 that their only worry
will be to get over the water and at
the Hun.

MUST BOOK EARLY
TO AVOID THE RUSH
Steamer Reservations For Fair
Being Taken

People on the outside islands who
,lan to attend the Territorial Fair in
Honolulu, June 10 to Is, are being ad
vised this week by the Fair Commission
to make passenger reservations as early
IS possible on the Inter-Island vessels,
= information received here yesterday
that reservations already made for
,oats arriving here June 8 and 9 have
Imost reached a capacity.
In fact, many will find it advisable
o come. by the boats arriving in HO-
Iolum the middle of the week prior to
he Fair, and If q large number of
ightseers from Hawaii, Maui and
Xauai hope to see the Fair at all they
nay have to come over Immediately
lfter June l.
The Fair s transportation committee
'ndeavored several months ago to ar
ange for special steamers to and
rom the other islands, to accommo-
late the crowds, but the severe ship
ling shortage which affects all the
vorld today is equally stringest in its
limitations of island shipping, and the
,xtra facilities could not be found.
Reports from the outside islands in
iicate that, transportation facilities
ermitting, record breaking crowds will
isit Honolulu during Fair week, and
otels and boarding houses are making
rovisOn for their accOmm OdatiOn and
Entertainment.
In a manner entirely at variance
it'll any demonstration that has been
cid in the city in many years, the Ter
itorial Fair appeals to island folk in
very walk of life and men of every
ccupatiOn. 1t is intended especially
o attract the farmers, large and small
he stock growers, the housewives who
rre seriously interested in studying
ew ways of food saving, and business
zen interested in the development of
ONE industries.
1t combines practical eduration and
wholesome, clean amusement in new
nd novel forms.

LONG DELAY FATAL
TO PRESENT Wish.
Applicant For Final Citizenship
Papers Had Five Years
To Act and Did Not

Waiting thirty.three years to try and
become an American citizen will -eaass
AdoIph G.. "a. 3ConstaBel, native of
Germany and an employe Of II, Hack.
field and Company, TO wait several years
longer before his deferred wish Is peal-
led as he ascertained in no uncertain
terms yesterday morning in 5the fed
eral court. ....--
COnstabel's petition for naturaliza-
ton was dismissed by Judge Vaughan,
with direct and pointed brevity, after
the court had informed the applicant
that he might have another chance to
try and change his citizenship, after
"the Germans are licked" For the
benefit Of the applicant and his witness
rs. also of Teutonie nativity, Judge
Vaughan threw in the information that
the defeat of the Germans was Ger.
tain, whether IL came this year, or
two or three years from now.
Because Of the naturalization regula.
tion which makes IL impossible for q
citizen Of a country with which Am.
erica is at war to become naturalized
huIlHB Inv "aN was
told his petition could not be granted.
The German then wanted to have the
petition passed so II could be acted
upon Immediately after the war was
over.
This the court refused to do, with the
gratuitous exclamation: ~ do not see
why I should do this. Why even sol
dicrs of the American army have had
their petitions dismissed under similar
conditions" Then Judge Vaughan
turned to the federal court clerk and
said 1.-THE petition is dismissed.
Up until the beginning of the war
nth Germany COnstabel has had nearly
five years in which he could have peti.
toned for his final papers, but did not
do so until after the war started. IT
is seven years since he filed his declara-
tion of intention to become a citizen
and he could have applied for his final
papers any time after the first two
years was passed, up until April 6, 1917
Now ConstRbel will have to wait
until the war is over and then wait
two more years before he can again
file declaration Of intention to become
citizen. Ninety days afterward he
can petition the court to grant him
citizenship, if Germans are still allowed
tn become naturalized after the war is
over.
