Two"-, rather important questions
were brought up' In the; meeting and
were not answered to the satisfaction
cf the commission nor the senate
committee. " .' : -. .. ; . '- "; v ' .
Two Pertinent Questions Asked
Senator, Coney, wanted to know how,
even though early closing laws were
adopted the commission could keep a
man froln purchasing big quantities or
liquor in the daytime to drink la parks
and out-of-the-way- pieces at night.
This he considered one of the most
cangerous corroiarles of the ; liquor.
' onainess. . v , :
P. D. Lowrey,' a member btc the
commission, propounded a similar
question. What would, prevent a man
purchasing a bottle of liquor at each
talooi be went into and distributing it
to persons outside?
R. W. Breckons, who appeared as at
torney for the liquor men,' asserted

PleblacIU Termed .'Foo Proposition''
s IW declared that the petition, aj
" Washington was a fool proposition and
that If Dr. T7adnian had been willing
to withdraw it for another bill which
Breckons himself .had drawn up the
; legislature would not now be plagued
'vith questions as to its proper pow
; era. The question would have already
been settled by Congress. .
, Breckons told the committee .that
his bill had provided that Congress
should, enact a law giving the leglsla
' ture authority to esact prohibition or
call a plebiscite fcr It, and.Kuhlo had
favored the latter proposition. :
St. C. Sayres of the Honolulu Brew
