Jump STEADY" NOT
NEW TO HAWA|ANS
Gov. Mccarthy Discusses
Brand of Firebrand Drink
Known of OkoIehon.

Jump Steady" firebrand brew
that has kept ambulance drivers
working overtime since prohibition
put the 'for rent" sign on saloons. is
no new thing in Hawaii. said Gov
Charles j. Mccarthy, chief executive
for the mid Pacific brand being "Oko-
lehou."
Calls mt White House.
Gov. Mccarthy. now in Washington
as one of territorial delegation in
terested in changing the land laws
relating to the islands, called at the
White House today for a friendly chat
with Secretary Tumulty. On lea ing
he was asked what the thirsty Ha-
waiian was doing now for alcoholic
stimulant, and replied that okolehou
was solving the problem to some eX-
tent. but was making SO much trou-
BILE for the United States authorities
that an effort was being made to al
low illicit distillers to be prosecuted
the one United States court where all
such offenders must now be tried.
Original Moonshine Drink.
The original moonshine drink in
the islands was made by boiling the
roots of the til plant and distilling
the liquid after it had fsrmented,"
said the governor. The natives ap-
paratuS was usually an old kerosene
can with a gun barrel fitted over the
spout for a condensing coil, and when
the gun barrel or a bamboo pipe was
rsed very passable drink might be
made. But recently some of these
crude stills have been fitted up with
galvanized iron pipe, and when the
new liquor comes in contact with gal
vanized iron the result is a poison
that frequently makes the drinker
stone blind for life
At present the only court in which
violator of the federal statutes can be
tried is in Honolulu, and it involves so
much time and expense to bring
offenders and witnesses from outlying
islands that many go unpunished. This
is condition that the governor hopes
to have remidied by getting Congress
to empower the territorial courts to try
such offenders.
The island of Oahu, on which Hon.
olulu is located, has been dry, alcoholic
ally speaking, since few weeks after
America entered the war against Ger
many, and the entire territory became
prohibition territory in August. 1918.
Okolehou was made long before the dry
era, but it was never rank poison until
the introduction of galvanized pipes into
it's manufacture.
