Still ON VOUCHERS

! little bunch of men, who have been
and who are likely to be again in the
public eye by reason OF their identifi
cation with public affairs. gathered
this morning in the halls of justice In
response to subpoenas issued by the
| inquisition.
Grand Jury Bailiff Waipa. a veteran
policeman, took up his stand outside
the door of the Territorial examiners,
jealousy guarding the sacred pre-.
cincts. "...
At $3.50 o'clock Deputy Attorney
General Emil c. Peters passed the sen.
try and entered the chamber, armed
with two bulky portfolios containing
vouchers of the House of Representa-.
tives OF the last Legislature, the same
exhibits which figured in the original
voucher investigation by the Federal
Grand Jury.
u Those awaiting the call TO the wit.
ness stand were Speaker OF the House
OF Representatives Beckley, Clerk OF
the House Solomon Meheula, Interpre.
! ter Of the House VIM. J. Coelho, Ste.
nographer Of the House Thielen and
/ Territorial Treasurer A. N. Kepoikai.
! Others in the corridor were Enoch
Johnson, Henry c. Birbe and Isaac
Noar.
! Clerk of the House Meheula was the
! first called this morning. He was fol.
lowed by Speaker Beckley, Interpreter
Coelho and Stenographer Thielen.
Meheula has already appeared be.
fore the inquisition on several occa.
sions. Beckley, it is understood. had
/ merely to testify to the method OF pro.
cedure in the House. Coelho, presu.
mably, was called to speak of matters
within his knowledge as interpreter
in relation to proceedings in the House
and in committee meetings. Thlelen
was armed with a stenographer's note
| book and was required to testify as TO
what transpired and what was said by
certain members Of the House on va.
rious occasions, both In and out Of
committee meetings.
A committee of the grand jury has
completed an exhaustive written
statement covering the facts contain.
ed In the vouchers on exhibition. While
the report OF the Federal Grand Jury
was at hand for the present Jurors to
work from II they so desired, It Is un.
derstood that the present jury. the
third inQuisition to handle the matter
has exerted much Independent effort
to arrive at the facts, not necessarily
combining themselves to tho showing
of the Federal Jurors.
The general sentiment expressed In
the judiciary gatherings is that 1t is
up to the present Grand Jury to reach
a definite conclusion: the charges of
fraud must be settled as true or other.
wise and II fraud is shown, indictments
must be returned, no matter how high
or how low they strike; the voucher
proposition must not be passed up to a
fourth Grand Jury.
