Hemeaway. Aa effort to secure the services of Frank E. Thompson to assist in the nmsecntloo was not hueeesiiful owing te prensure of bther' affairs, but It is believed - that . John W. Catheart, Mr. Thompson's partner-will appear in bis stead. Defiance Is Shown Defiance of the legal action of tha food commission by Mr. McCandless. as it waa said at the meeting,, caused that body to take steps to prevent , a recur renre of 'disregard of its regula tions and it ia feasible that tha entire weight of the. federal food commission wil back np the territorial commission, only waiting the receipt of eertain in formation, by cable, from Adminis trator. Hoover. Mr. Dole, in opening tha meeting, saiii the, members were called '.'to con sider the breaking of our laws in re gard to the salea of rice." "It ahowa a clear ease of absolute defiance ot our rules," said tbe chair man, "These laws were passed by our commission with tha honest effort to prevent profiteering," an! to obtain a fair profit aad price for the growers to prevent any injustice. It soems to roe this is an absolutely clear rase of profit eeriag of a flagrant character. The argument- that tbe price should be as high as tha- California price seems to me to have little bearing on the case. The local authorities, abould enforce these regulations. If it is impossible for us to enforce the regulations wc ought to know it." Boogs Suggests Action J ' W. 1L Hoogs Sr., suggested that Chairman Dole- awear out a warrant against' McCandieas for profiteering. Mr. Dole, however, said advice as to procedure should first come from the attorneys for tha commission, as to whether prosecution should be through 'ho territorial' attorney general's oflice tr that of 4he city and county. ' It waa found, - tjiat'thft maximum ptiee ' for: 'Sales, jipblishctt - in both the daily newspapers, -and- there waa nothing in the way to coraniouce proeofldiuge. ; t A question was raised, by Secretary (1. G. Brick us as to whether the coin- illusion's case might not be weakened by reference to the California price, for coimt riro at $9 aud over and the :rice set for Hawaiian rice at $8. Other members .disagreed, with him, the irifiimeut being made that t6-S3, was a high cost for production and with $8 is a selling nrico a reasonable profit vas made. The reason the California irice was. higher, was because' rice irown there passed through many hand 'era before reaching the consumer's market. Commandeering Proposed Chairman Dole suggested comman deering all of McCandlosa' supply of rice, if ho persisted in attempting to nake adiiitiona! sales. Commissioner Child said that a miller here cannot operate without a lu-ene. If. a miller attempted to make rice out of Mc landless' paddy, that his license could 'ic revoked, Mr. Hockus said a man "on the drcrt," had reported to him that the omniission 's action ir placing f ns 'h highest figure for ;-le-- 1 'r wmM orevout ,rice gio'vijag; i !
