Solomon Meheula, Clerk of the House

only one indicted is simply because the
looting of the treasury shown up by
the grand jury does not come within
the scope of Federal law to punish.
By Meheula's official position, that
made him the custodian of public rec

RESOLUTIONS OF BAR

RESOLVED BY THE BAR ASSO-
CITATION OF THE HAWAIIAN ISL
ANDS, That the amendments of the Or
ganic Act of Hawaii, proposed by SEN
ator Mitchell of Oregon, in the United
States Senate, for the repeal Of the pro-
Vision in the Organic Act which requires
that the Governor and Secretary and
the Judges of the Supreme Court and
the Circuit Courts shall be citizens of
the Territory, and also for the repeal
of the provision in the Organic Act
which makes decisions of the Supreme
Court of the Territory final in matters
not involving Constitutional question
or the application of United States
statutes, are unwise and inexpedient,
for the following reasons, namely:
That the proposed amendments have
not been called for. and in the opinion
of this Association, are not desired by
any considerable number Of the citi-
zens of Hawaii.
That the amendment concerning the
qualification of citizenship for officers
and Judges of the Territory is directly
contrary to the announced principles
of both the Republican and Democratic
parties upon giving to the people of the
territories control of their local affairs,
and is opposed to the best interests of
this Territory. That the great expense
and long and protracted delays invelv-
ed in carrying TO the Supreme Court
at Washington the decisions of the
Supreme Court of Hawaii would be
hardship to the people of Hawaii in OBJ
tanning adjudication of their lawsuits
affecting merely territorial statutes and
territorial conditions.

thority for the expenditure, the duty
of the grand jury was to investigate
whether or not there ever had been
vouchers for the items IN question and
if SO what had become of them. The
fact that they returned indictments for
the destruction of the vouchers rep

himself indicates that they found prob
able cause to convict him of destroy

With regard to the receiving of pub
lie money by others than the Clerk, for
which either no service or only a mere
pretense of service had been rendered,
the Federal grand jury was compelled
to pass the facts on to the Territorial
authorities for jurisdiction as coming
under the Territorial laws against en-
bezzlement, larceny, gross cheat, or
