also chief Of the electrical department of
the Worlds Fair. The charges are volu-
minous, alleging that Barrett has been en-
gagged for years in purchasing electrical sup
plies for the city from companies in which
he has financial interest, and, together
with Denis j. Sweenie, Chief of the fire de-
partment, has approved bills for the same at
exorbitant rates.
The bills asked that the money alleged to

contrary, he has saved the city large sums,
and asserts that the suit is an evidence of
spite work on Cregier's part because he
(Barrett) refused to adopt certain electrical

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The House was called to order at

Salary for two Interpreters for the
Supreme and Police Courts including
Circuit Court terms $500.
The judiciary Committee recon-
mend that the item read: Salary OF

$4,000.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox said there
should be two Interpreters. The gov
eminent should not rely on one only.
When the speaker was tried, not long
ago, the interpreter was engaged in
the House, and the Court had to get
an outsider who did not do very we'll.
Rep. Kamauoha supported the view
of the member from Waialua but
thought the sum should be itemiZed.
Rep. Ashford favored the recon-
mendation {, the committee. This
was no time for the country to under
take the education of new interpre-
tiers. The interpreter would not have
to do anything in the Police Court
and could give his whole time to the
Circuit and Supreme Courts. The
recommendation of the committee
was entitled to consideration. Let
the would-be Interpreters educate
themselves. There was an example

not be sufficient.
