(From Wednesdays doily)
II is work and work hard with the
members of the Senatorial Commission
now, and beginning this morning their
sessions will be longer and full OF meat.
The commission has now got its plans
rather we'll under way. and the witness
es who are permitted to appear and
give testimony will have their state
ments well sifted.
The first hearing to be accorded this
morning at $3.50 o'clock will be that OF
L. l.. Pinkham, representing the Build
ers and Traders Exchange, which pre-
scented to the commission a memorial,
which will be taken up in its entirety.
The Chamber of Commerce Will follow,
as the commission will avail itself OF the
proffer of assistance by the officers of
the trade organizations of the city. This
was announced at a meeting informal
an it's character which was held at the
Hawaiian hotel at noon yesterday. The
three Senators were met there by
Messrs. w. G.. Irwin, c. NJ. Cooke, w.
W. Dimond, w. w. Harris, Cecil
Brown. ]. B. Atherton, f. A. Schaefer.
j. p. Cooke. II. A. Isenberg, F. NJ.
Swanzy, and ]. G.. Spencer. They were
introduced to the Senators by William
Haywood and spent some time In con-
versation, proffering their services. The
commission promised to avail them
selves of the offer.
Yesterdays hearing was one full of
Importance for during it there was pre-
scented by Secretary Cooper a full state
ment OF the needs of the Territory,
which will be supplemented by letter
on tine various subjects. Governor Dole
made a short but pregnant statement,
and later in the day A. 5. Humphreys
argued against the existing order,
which drew from the chairman the
statement that he hoped that the attor-
ney general would appear and make a
statement as to points touched upon.
Il. $. Boyd also completed his state
ment.
When the commission opened its ses-
sion there were in attendance num-
ber of citizens, but the first time was
given to Governor Dole AS soon as
Chairman Mitchell began he explained
the commission was ready to hear the
Governor and that official arose.
IL have here a letter which / have
written for the information of the
Commission" said the Governor. 1t
Is not very long for the principal rea-
son that 1 did not expect that ! would
be called upon to take the initiative
He then read the following letter:
