Court Exonerates Daughter
Whom Parents Accused
When Refused Wages
REVENGE contemplated by a
stepfather was foiled in Juv
enile court yesterday after
noon when Circuit Judge Heen ex
onerated a young Russian girl
from charges concocted by the
irate parent.
The trouble started on Maui
some months ago when the girl
married a Filipino. While the
couple were apparently satisfied
with each other, the marriage was
annulled at the instance of the
girl's parents on the ground that
she was not of ase. Then the girl
came to Honolulu and secured a
position which enabled her to sup
t port herself.
When the step-father learned
.that the girl was working, say
juvenile court officials, he de
manded that she turn her wages
over to him each week. This
the girl refused to do, wherei pon
the step-father went to the juv
enile court officials, charged the
girl with improper relations with a
Chinese and asked that she be
placed in the girls' industrial
school.
Circuit Judge Heen heard the
case yesterday afternoon and ex
onerated the girl. She has been
given a good home at Lanakila
Hale and has a position in view.

U. S. SOUNDED
All Distilled Spirits Come Under
the Ban But Making of Beer
and Wine is Discretionary
With President Under Com
promise Bill
By C. S. ALBERT.
(SpcUl Sur-BnUcfan CorrM9eade.)
WASHINGTON. D. C July 30-
The manufacture of alcoholic bever
ages for the period of the war must
be discontinued. The making of beer
and wine will be left to the diicre
tion of the President.
1 his appears to be the last word
in the rule ot prohibition laid down
until the restoration of peace. The
conferees on the food control bill
framed up a compromise on the fea
ture. which has been bitterly fought
both in the senate and house. The
"drys" have been able to dominate the
situation at all times. Butt for the
interference of the President there
would have been a total wiping out
of all stimulants for the duration of
tne war.
The abolition of distilled spirits and
the discretionary limitation placed on
beer and wines are carried in the fol
lowing compromise, which takes the
place of the Sooot amendment, adopt
ed in the senate:
"That from and after 30 days from
the date of the approval of this act
no roofls, iruus, rood materials or
feeds shall be used, in the production
of distilled spirits for beverage pur
poses. Provided, that under such
rules, regulations and bonds as the
President may prescribe such materl
a Is may be used in the production
of distilled spirits exclusively for
otner than beverage purposes or for
tbe fortification of pure sweet wines
as defined by the act entitled 'An act
to increase the revenue, and for other
purposes,' approved September 8, 1916
Nor shall there be imported into the
United States any dktilled spirits
Whenever the President shall find that
limitation, regulation or prohibition
of the use of foods, fruits, food ma
terials or feeds in the production of
malt or vinous liquors for beverage
purposes, or that the reduction of the
alcoholic content of any such malt or
vinous liquor is essential, in order to
assure an adequate and continuous
supply of food or that the national
security and defense will be sub
served thereby, he is authorised from
time to time to prescribe and give
public notice of the extent of the limi
tation, regulation, prohibition or reduc
tion so necessitated. Whenever such
notice shall have been given and shall
nave remained unrevoked 'no person
shall after a reasonable time prescrib
ed in Btirh "TintliW n --n-t7 tnrMm
trUs. food materials brCfeeds In' the
production of malt or vinous liquors
or import any such liquors except un
der license issued by the President
and in compliance with rules and
regulations determined bj him gov
erning the production and Importation
of such liquors and the alcoholic con
tent thereof."
$5000 Fine or Jail
A penalty of 15000 fine or two years
imprisonment, or both, is fixed.
This provision is added: "Provided
further that nothing in this section
shall be construed to authorize licen
sing of the manufacture of vinous or
malt liquors in any state, territory or
civil subdivision thereof where the
manufacture of such malt or vinous
liquors is prohibited."
The commandeering section reads
"That the President is authorized
and directed to commandeer any or
all distilled spirits in bond or in stock
at the date of the approval of this act
tor redistillation, in so far as such
reaistniauon may be necessary to
meet the requirements of the Govern
ment in the manufacture of munitions
and other military and hospital sup
plies, or in so far as such redistillation
would dispense with the necessity of
utilizing products and materials suit
able for foods and feeds in the fu
ture manufacture of distilled spirits
for the purposes herein enumerated.
The President shall determine and
pay a just compensation for the dis
tilled spirits so commandeered: and
If the compensation so determined bo
not satisfactory to the person entitled
to receive the same, such person shall
be pais 75 per centum of the amount
so determined by the President and
oar.I1 be entitled to sue the United
States to resorer further earn
added fc e.Id 71 per centum, will make
up S'i4 aitatt as will be juct com-
peceaiion !: inch spirits, in the man

20, and section 145 of the Judicial
Code."
DISCOVERY OF BRAYLESS
MULE MAY SILENCE SOLONS
DENVER, Colo. Alonzo Balaam of
Elyria owns a burro. It is only natu
ral that a man of this name should
own such an animal of this sort. He
also owns a mule. And it is the mule
which furnishes Mr. Balaam with sub
jects for experiments. Not long ago
Mr. Balaam tried to invent the crow
less rooster. It was a failure.
Mr. Balaam's latest experiment is to
develop a brayless mule. He thinks
such an animal will prove of value to
the army, will prove of value to the
army, allowing the tired men to sleep
after a battle. Mr. Balaam has per
formed a slight operation on his
mule's upper lip. This interferes with
the mule's propensities for voice cul
ture. Every time he opens his trap
to bray he is forced to sneeze.
This makes the animal forget all
about singing. The importance of this
discovery is manifold. When it Is per
fected and patented, Mr. Balaam will
sell his rights to the state of Colorado
to be applied to tbe legislature. If it
is a success, the commonwealth will
be gratified to know that several of
our biped mules can be made to
sneeze instead of bray in the legisla
tive halls. This will diminish the
1 chaoa of tf Assions and the lika.

51,000,000 libel suit brought against
the Detroit manufacturer by the Vita

n a circular advertisement published
throughout the country, entitled "Hu

to be an answer to a preparedness
film produced by the Vitagraph com
pany.
Mr. Ford, in his answer, says the
film unnecessarily alarmed the peo
ple, as it was an exaggeration of
what would happen to the country in
the event of war, and he believed it his
duty to allay the fears of the people
at a time when congress was consid
ering the expenditure of $500,000,000
on national defense.

SOPH ARRIVES
FILIPINOS HELD
AS SLACKERS SAY
THEY ARE GUARDS
(Special Stir-BftUUa Crrpondnc. )
HILO. Hawaii, August 13 L'p till
last night, five slackers had been ar
rested by deputy sheriffs on the island
of Hawaii. All five are Filipinos snd,
while three are from Honokaa. two
are from Puna. The latter pair claim
that they are members of the national
guard and are exempt from registra
tion. This has yet to be proved.
"Arrest everyone without a card."
was Sheriff Pua's order, and the dep
uties are doing their duty. The Hilo
jail may be found a trifle small if the
sheriffs prediction made yesterday
turns out to be correct. He thinks that
there will be quite a few Filipinos and
others taken into custody before long.
In connection with the round-up of
slackers, the sheriff had up for inves
tigation a young man who claimed
that he had registered in Honolulu on
July 31. but that he had lost his card.
The man gave his name and address,
so the sheriff allowed him to depart
upon the understanding that if, upon
investigation in Honolulu it was found
that he had not registered, he would
be arrested and sent to jail.
The men departed and later on a
police officer turned up at the station
carrying a card that bears the name
William Kemp of Nuuanu avenue. Ho
nolulu, and whose registration number
is 19. He can obtain his card by call
ing at the police station at any time.

INVISIBLE ACID USED
TO CATCH LETTER CARRIER
LOS ANGELES. Cal., July 20.
Three and one-half years in the fed
erul prison at McNeil s Island, Wash.,
the most severe sentence ever Impos
ed by a federal court in this district
for a similar crime, was pronounced
by Federal Judge Bledsoe upon Wal
ter Morgan, a former letter letter car
rier, upon his plea of guilty to the
charge of embezzling moneys from
the mails.
Morgan confessed to having rifled
four letters containing money in tran
sit from depositors to the Security
Trust and Savings Bans, at Fifth and
Spring streets, although he denied
having tampered with about fifteen
other letters which had been opened
and rifled in the same manner.
Morgan was trapped by the use by
the postal inspector of an "invisible"
acid. This chemical, which was sprln
kled on the letters, could not be seen
on the paper, but stained the hands
of the man who opened the letters. A
few hours later Morgan's hands were
badly stained by the acid.
