I Auditor cannot issue new warrants

WHERE WILCOX FIGURES.
Taking these warrants up separately
I find that Warrant No. 1927, dated
July Is. for $475.65 and Warrant No
5S2S. dated July Is, for sa59.1O, were en-
dorsed by Chas. Wilcox. clerk, and the
money paid to him on July 81 by Henry
c. Hapai, Registrar
| Warrant dated July %. No. 5675. for
s275. Warrant dated July 81, No. 5s4s,
for $685. and Warrant dated July 81. No.
5s4s for s119, were stamped by the
Registrar for the Treasury Department
July 81, 1902, and paid by The Bank of
Hawaii on the same date to Chas. Will
cox, Clerk. These warrants were paid
by The Bank of Hawaii by an arrange
ment with the Territorial Treasurer
whereby the Territory was to pay six
per cent interest on the money thus adj
vanced. l find The Bank of Hawaii
was reimbursed by the Treasurer Nov.
10, 1902 Warrant No. 1925, dated
August Is. 1902. for s4241O was endorsed
by Chas Wilcox. Clerk, and by him
only and was paid Nov. 25, 1902
Upon first examination of Mr.. Hapai
he was very positive that he had paid
the same to Mr.. Wilcox on that date
but upon further investigation 1 find
that this warrant was paid on Nov.
20, 1902. on which day warrants were
paid to the amount of $2O1, OO3.17 among
which We're warrants to the amount of
$131,674.54 which warrants had been de-
posted in the Chinese Fund as security
for that amount of this fund being then
in use by the Territory. From this fact
am unable to trace this warrant fur
Their.
find in this connection that when the |
Chinese Fund was counted by Mr..
Cooper as Treasurer and Mr.. Hapai as
Registrar that the same consisted of:

The doctor said was not Mt for

would have to give up business said
F. J. Graham of No. 125 Jefferson street,
Peoria, III.
And I was incapacitated, he con-
tinued. 1T was a kind of incipient
paralysis and it is due to DR.. Williams,
Pink Pills for Pale People that 1 am
now in perfect health again First I
would be hot, then cold and clammy
and at times my body felt as if pierced
by needles. There were terrible pains
all over me and then I would have no
feeling at all. A numbness sometimes
came over me and I could not move
With it all were agonizing headaches
and pain in the region of my spine
look back on it now and wonder how
L retained my reason through that long
and trying ordeal There were months
and months when I got no natural sleep
and my nervous system was a wreck
from pain and the opiates which 1 had
been obliged to take
''One day I read the statement of a
man who had been cured OF a case like
mine by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and I began to take them
The first box did so well that eontin-
ued until six boxes were taken and I
was entirely we'll have been in per-
feet health ever since"
No other medicine in the world has
accomplished so many cures in cases
that were apparently hopeless as DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
The cure of Mr.. Graham is only one in
stance out Of thousands and the reason
this remedy is SO wonderful in it's eff
cacy is because. unlike any other medi- |
cine, it acts directly on both the blood |
and the nerves. DR.. Williams Pink |
Pills contain, in a condensed form, all |
the elements necessary to give new life |
and richness to the blood and restore |
shattered nerves. They are an unfail- |
ing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia. partial paralysis. st.
vitus' dance. sciatica neuralgia, |
nervous headache the af- |
ter-effects of the grip, palpitation of the /
heart, pale and sallow compilations and
all forms of weakness either in male /

TO your Committee I wish to call your
attention to the fact up to the present
time have been working without any

the usual methods of procedure by en-
ploying additional help to check the diff
but in my opinion it would be, in most
instances, a needless expenditure of the
public money. No doubt exists in my
mind but what a proper voucher can
be produced for each and every expen-
diture. The time is short in which to
gain any information to be used for
the present session of the Legislature

specially suggest that 1 be called to

THE PAYROLL ITEMS

Honolulu, March II. 1903.
Hon. ]. d. Paris, Chairman Committee
on Public Expenditures.
Dear Sir: beg to make report here
with as to the items amounting to
s2s37. IS. a shortage in the office of Su-
perintendent of Public Works during
the administration of B. II. Wright
when employed as chief clerk, being the
same items now recommended by the
Governor under special Message to the
Legislature under the head of appro-
priation for unpaid bills, Included in his
message under date of Feb. %, 1903, the
same being there included under item
Of Roads and Bridges, Fourth District
I find upon examination that warrants
for these amounts have been drawn by
the Auditor and that payrolls for the
same are now on file in his office prop
erly receipted; that the warrants have
been paid by the Treasury Department
In view of these facts 1 am of the opin-
ion that the same can not be properly
cIassed as unpaid bills, but must be
paid by a special appropriation for that
purpose.
The facts relative to those amounts
find to be as follows:
