park. which was now Territorial in.
stitution and no longer in the hands of
6 private corporation. Until lately the
park was not readily accessible to the
public but since the electric cars be-
gan running it was crowded with peo-
PIE every Sunday. In every city of the
Mainland parks were cared for as rec.
reation grounds for the people. The
Commission wanted the Legislature
tc see what was being done with the
money heretofore appropriated and
subscribed on the outside. He moved
that the Senate accept the invitation
for Friday afternoon at o'clock.
Senator J. 7. Brown asked II all Of
the Commissioners were American cit
liens. He understood w. @. Irwin was
a foreigner and, besides, used the park
, to pasture his cattle.
Senator Achi moved that the Public
Lands Committee be instructed to re.
pcit On the visit, which carried as did
the main motion.

froil Charles Il. Frazier, endorsed by
many business houses, for an appro.

Senator Dickey he said the clerk
should receive the same as before
Senator Dickey said the clerk was
then to receive $50 a day. He was in.
formed by Senators Isenberg and Nc.
| Candless that the clerk had to pay for
another man in completing the Journal
OF the regular session. The Speaker
said one clerk could do all the work
of the extra session, while two were
employed.
| Senator Isenberg replied that the
question had all been threshed out
before. What was the use of going
over 1t all again? Suppose they had a
new clerk, would the objector say he
should not be paid?
Senator McCandless did not think
Senator Dickey understood the mat.

The Law Commission
On motion of Senator Isenberg the
Senate took up the Governors appoint
ments Of members of Commission to
compile the laws and on motion of Sen
sidered separately.
Walter F. Frear, Chief Justice, was
confirmed by the unanimous vote of
thirteen members present.
Albert f. Judd was similarly confirm
cd. on motion of Senator Achi his
name. although the third, being voted
on secondly.
Fight over Wilder.
Arthur A. Wilder's name was pre-
scented.
Senator Cecil Brown moved that the
nomination of Mr.. Wilder be confirm
ed. The House of Representatives had
amended the bill to provide that an
American Hawaiian be one OF the
Commissioners. Arthur A. Wilder fill
ed that description in more than one
sense, for his father was an American
and living here today, and his mother
was a Hawaiian, born on Maui and a
sister Of David Crowningberg, now a
resident of this country. In regard to
capabilities and requirements there
was not a young lawyer In this COM
munity who was better equipped for
this work than Arthur Wilder. He
was a student from away back and
would be of great assistance to the
Commission In codifying the laws. The
speaker arose again to say that Mr..
Wilder was not Republican but be-
longed to a family OF Democrats. The
reason he said this was to show that
he was not supporting the nominee on
political grounds.
Senator Baldwin considered Mr..
Wilder well grounded In law. His
mother came from Makawao. He was
well versed in Hawaiian law. besides
We'll acquainted with foreign law. Mr..
Mr.. Wilder was bright young Hawaii
an, whom the speaker regarded as
we'll fitted for the position.
Senator Achi believed that the Sen.
ate should show the public the idea
that the majority ruled. When the
House amended the bill, the Senate
ought to know its intention In that re-
gard. He did not believe that If Ar.
thur Wilder depended on vote of the
House he would be confirmed. He be.
lieved in dividing the spolls among
many people. Now Robertson & VIII.
der had a big case for which he was
sorry his colleague from Oahu INC.
