Washington, D. C.Dec. 13. John O. Wooley, superintendent of the Anti Saloon league of the Hawaiian islands, yesterday appeared before the senate committee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico in support of a bill introduced by the late Senator Johnson of North Da kota, to prohibit the sale of intoxicat ing liquors in Hawaii. It was asserted by Mr. Wooley that a majority of the people would be for-i rederal legislation prohibiting the sale of liquor if it were not for the opposi tion aroused by liquor interests by a report that the effect of such a bill would be to say that the , Hawalians were an unenlightened race. - The Hawaiians, he said, would pre fer to be sober, but could not resist temptations. ; Teacher Stricken at Gales burg.
