'sThey want financier in my place
according to the Star. Well, I am
fnancier enough to inform the Govern
ment that there will be practically no
money for current expenditures this
year. There is only enough money in
the treasury now to pay interest as it
comes due
Treasurer A. n. Kepoikai made these
remarks as he showed an Advertiser
reporter a financial statement prepared
by Registrar H. Z. Hapai. The Aud
iting Department had handed down
detailed statement of all current reve-
nue. receipts for the year 1908, which
the Treasurer adopted as the gauge OF
this years revenue, having, as he
states. no reason for expecting any
increase.

poikai went on to say. "a financier
is not supposed to manufacture money.
with this statement 1 am showing
you. though, think it is a foolish
piece of business to expend any part of
our first million dollar loan on armor-
| les. 1t is proper to build schoolhouses

stead of building armories why not ex-
pend the money on settlement roads
and thus develop taxable property?
IF from the loan we can open up

| taxes, then we might safely and with
a good face negotiate the second mil

BENEFICIAL INSECTS.

Prey On Pests.
The Chicago Chronicle says:

The Chicago Chronicle says:
The American public naturally looks
with suspicion upon the importation OF
foreign living products. The English
sparrow, first brought here about thirty
wears ago. mas driven away nearly all
our native song birds, while the Ger
man carp has driven from our streams
most of the fine food fishes with which
they once abounded.
It is now proposed to import Ger
tain breed of insect which, it IS claimed
will rid the orchards of diseases that
are importing the bearing capacity OF
the trees. his insect, though called
the Chinese lady-bird, IS nothing but
an insect. It is said to be the natural
enemy OF the dreaded San Jose scale.
It's discovery in its native habitat near
the great wall OF China was one OF the
most valuable finds credited to the
Agricultural Department. 1t IS null

gain summary relief by ordering his DIS
charge. and if the order is not complied
with, by Furnishing the persons concerned
in the arrest as for contempt OF It's
authority. The remedy of the member,
however, is not confined to this mode OF
relief His privilege is not the privilege
of the house merely, but of the people,
and is conferred to enable him to dis
charge the trusts conhded to him by his
constituents, and if the house neglect to
interfere. the court from which the
process issued, or any court or officer
having authority of habeas corpus, may
also release the party from unlawful
imprisonment.
A CELEBRATED CASE.
A celebrated case has settled the point
that an imminent breach of the peace
permits and arrest of member OF either
house fully as much as an actual
breach of the peace. This case was the
sensational arrest of Representatives H.
A. Wise and Edward Stanly, on May
II, 1912, as they were about to leave the
District of Columbia to fight duel.
The warrant was issued by Judge
Thurston and charged: There is prob
able cause to believe that the Hon. II:
A. Wise, NJ. c., and the Hon. Edward
Stanly. NJ c., are about to commit
breach of the peace by fighting duel,
and that preparations are now making
by said parties to commit said breach OF
peace.
Wise was arrested, the return being
before Judge Moseli. OF the Circuit
Court P. R. Kendall then being the
United States District Attorney The
Il IL. I,a1a+ It1-1~
was privileged from arrest, except for
an actual breach of the peace, which
was not charged in the warrant. Mr..
Fendall argued that the privileges
claimed by members of Congress ought
to be rightly scrutinized and kept IN
narrow limits, if indeed. in a form of
government Ike ours, they could be toll
Grated at all. He disliked the name OF
privileges It has. indeed. to use the
language of Patrick Henry, "a squirting
towards monarchy" English history
shows to what arbitrary lengths this
abuse went until an independent judi
ciary checked it.
CITED ENGLISH ISSUE
At this point Mr.. Fendall cited the
celebrated English case of Stockdale vs.:
Luke Hansard, printer to the house OF
Commons. in which Chief Justice Den
man ruled that ancient customs were
unsu:ted to modern age, in the follow
ing language:
in early times the very horses and
servants of members might require pro-
lection from seizure under legal process,
as necessary to secure their own at
tendance: but when this privilege was
strained to the intclerable length OF pre-
venting the service of legal process, or
the progress of a cause once commenced
against any member during sitting OF
parliament, or of threatening any who
should commit the smallest tTespass
upon a members land, though in asser-

REQUIRED TO GIVE BOND.

After hearing two arguments OF the
case Judge Mosell decided for the
prosecution, and required Representa-
tive Wise to give security to all cltl-
zens O. the United States, in the Dis
trict oi Columbia, not to commit a
breach of the peace, and not for one
year TO leave the District to fight duel
with Stan1y, and Wise was required
to give a $4,000 bond to these effects.
One of the most recent decisions on
this point was that in the case OF How
ard vs.. the Citizens National Bank
and Trust Company This was an APP
peal case submitted to Justice Shepard
on January Il, 1893. The Tennessee
Bank had obtained a judgment for some
$500 against Representative Milford w.
Howard, of alabama, who represented
one OF the districts of that State for a
great many years. Howard is best
known as the author of 'If Christ
Came to Congress" Having obtained
the judgment the bank attached funds
of Howard in the Lincoln National
Bank. The defendant pleaded his priv
i1ege as a member of Congress in abate-
ment of action, and also that he was
a resident of the District of Columbia.
Justice Shepard ruled that neither OF
these defenses held good, and that any
member of Congress could be sued III
