MONEY PAID SCHOOL BOY.
Beckley said that ne wanted to call
attention TO the case of the Deputy
Sheriff Of South Kona, whose salary
had been fixed by the Legislature at $50
a month Andrews had warrants for
s25'a month drawn against the inciden-
tails fund. made in the name of young
Yates, a school boy. now messenger
for the House. This, Beckley said. was
only one-ten thousandth Of Andrews

GANDALL WANTS DELIBERATIoN.
! Gandall asked as to complaints ever
having been made. and wanted TO know
why protests had not been made Vida
answered that Andrews had told some of
the officers that if they exposed his sys-
tenn of docking he would fire them. and
as poor men they had to keep their
/, jobs. Gandall said only one side had
been presented He did not oppose the
appropriation but he wanted to warn
members TO be careful. He did mot
want to see action looking to the re-
quest for Andrews resignation except
after close investigation.
Wright interrupted to ask If Can
dali had ever seen Andrews and there
was a long colloquoy. GandaIl saying he
was not defending Andrews but con-
! demned police who would keep silent
rather than lose their places. The COM

the House then took a recess until ?

When the session was resumed Can
dali continued TO assert that only one
side had been heard. that there must
be second side and that no allegation
was made that the official had con-
. verified the money to his own use. He
maintained that the officers who per-
mittAd their salaries to be locked and
did not protest to the High Sheriff We're
culpabie. He called upon the members
to weigh carefully the question of ASK
ing that an official be removed without
further evidence being taken.
NO DEMAND FOR REMOVAL
The Chairman ruled out of order the
amendment of Kaniho asking for the
discharge of Andrews.
Kealawaa had read the Iette- from
the captain of police of South HiIo. say

that he only received s7s.
Pulaa said the practice was one which
came down from the time of Marshal
Hitchcock, of docking salaries for uni
forms and went into long explana-
ton of the police methods. He depressed
to the Hackfeld wharf and other sub
jects and wound up with a demand for
the passage of the item. He likewise
explained to Andrade that the police
man signs a voucher, on which war
rant is issued. the officers being COM

MONEY FOR UNIFORMS
Vida read a letter showing that An
drews had refunded uniform money col
lected in Kohala in March and said is
was unjust that the police pay -
month on the fund and perhaps get
only one uniform. worth perhaps only
$50
Haia argued that the uniform money
should be repaid and Kalama argued
as TO the difference between systems
IN the credit OF Maui Kaniho was
afraid that some man who had been
discharged might not get his money
