Thompson, a lawyer, of Honolulu, who is at tho Wlllardi Tho pcoplo of Hawaii, Mr. Thompson tsays feel that lunsnluch as Hawaii becamo a part of tho United States on Its own volition, and not bocauso of any overtures or conquest by this country, tho legislature of that coun try should bo permitted to niako Its own laws for Us moral conduct. There havo been Introduced In the Senuto and Hbuso bills prohibiting tho salo of liquor lit Hawaii, and this proposed legislation has aroused a )ot of oppo sition among tho pcoplo of tho Island, it is said. "Tho Chamber of Commerce of Ho nolulu, which corresponds to similar bodies In the mainland, and other or ganizations In Hawaii havo memoral Izcd Congress to Icavo tho matters of -7- .-- local legislation, -.Including that of the salo of llqiior.Tjftlth the. local leglsla ture," said Mr. Thompson last night.
