WASHINGTON, December 2s.-Dele-

that he would be pleased to serve Ha-

In making the effort to have the Fed

DELEGATE KUHIO WOULD
I BE WILLING TO RUN AGAIN

WASHINGTON. Dec. Is Delegate
Kalanianaole has received letters bear
ing upon his candidacy for delegate at
the next election, and in one from a
prominent official he was asked blunt
ly whether or not he would be a eandi-
date. The Delegate since his arrival
in Washington. has keenly observed
the workings of Congress. and is of the
opinion, while not directly broaching
his own candidacy, that it is against
the interests of Hawaii to have new
delegate enter Congress at each new
session Prince Kuhio's opinion, like
that of majority of congressman, is
that the changing of a delegate, who
is the only representative in Congress
a territory has, necessitates the official
learning the ropes over again, to the

SUPERVISORS APPROVE
CURTIS IAUkEA'S BOND
Probably the LAST Official Action of the Board
Is Taken Before the Final Decree
and Judgment Is Entered.

Oahu Supervisors will hold on TO their
jobs until final judgment. and decree is
entered by the Supreme Court in the
County Act test case. What will prob
ably be the last official act OF the board
was taken yesterday in the approval OF
the bond of Curtis Iaukea, as assessor OF
the county. Iaukea has qualified but
may not get an opportunity to act as
assessor, although he wanted his Office
in case anything should happen to place
him in the position again, or at least to
insure his salary if the county act is
passed by Congress or re-enacted by the
Legislature.
1t was a gloomy lot of county Off
Gals and hangers on which met in the
Castle & Cookies hall at four o'clock
Jack Lucas was the only member absent
when the meeting was called to order
by Chairman Hooking, and when he
came in he asked the supervisors what
they were doing, and took seat in the
rear with the spectators. Judge Whit
ing who was in attendance at the meet
ing, told the supervisors that they were
not pau yet, and District Attorney
Rawlins said he hoped to get trip to
Washington out Of it. Judge Whiting
said he guessed not as Breckons was go
ing on Friday.
In calling the meeting Mr. Hooking
said it was for the consideration of the
assessors bond which had been sub
rnitted with August Dreier and Mrs.
Samuel Parker as Sureties, each in the
sum of SI5o.ooo.
Judge Whiting stated that he had ex-
arnined the qualifications of the sureties,
and had found each of them possessed
of much more property than the amount
given in the bond and added that the
supervisors could satisfy themselves also
as to the qualification Of the bondsmen.
Judge Whiting said he also wanted to
suggest, in view of the reports of the
county act decision in the papers, based
on the ground that 1t was not IN ae-
cord with the Organic Act. that 1t was
simply an opinion. not a decision. In
this case the Supreme Court had original
jurisdiction not as an ordinary case re-
viewing decree. and therefore unEii
decree had been signed, the supervisors
were still in Office He said that under
these circumstances Mr. Iaukea had a
right to qualify as the board was still
legal and wound remain so until decree
had been signed, and if writ of error
was taken out, until a final decree IN the
United States Supreme Court.
Mr. Iaukea's bond was then presented !

WHAT PEOPLE ARE
SAYING OF OUTLOOK

Where are we at?' was the question
on eyeryone's lips yesterday after the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
County Act case became known. AMI
every one had an answer. A special
session OF the Legislature was the re-
ply of many. An immediate appeal to
Congress was another favorite theory.
Allow the government to run along as
it is now on the old appropriations was
still third solution while the majority
opinion was Deliver US from another
session of the present Legislature"
Representative citizens viii get a
chance 10 say just what they think
ought 10 be done at this mornings
meeting in the old throne room, and
out of the multitude of wisdom offered
probably some solution will be found
for what everyone says is a very diff
cult problem.
few days ago the government had
no money and a plenitude of appropria-
tions. Now the Territory will have
money in plenty but no appropriations
under which it may be spent.
Immediate appeal to Congress is the
course advised by many and there has
been some talk that United States At
torney Breckons would go to Washing

and referred to the county attorney, Mr.
Rawlins Immediately giving an opinion
that it was in conformity with the coun-
ty act.
Mr.. Mahoe then moved that the bond
be approved, the suretieS being salts
factory. Supervisor Gilman amended
! this to make the approval be only as far
as the board was legally empowered to
do so.
Chairman Hooking suggested that the
district attorney be asked for an opinion
as to the legality of the boards action.
He said he saw no reason why the ap-
proval should not be the same as with
other county officers, if the board had
the right, and if the board was not legal
ly existence then there should be no ap-
-proval at all.
Supervisor Harvey said that the best
way was to accept the bond and let the
Supreme Court pass upon the matter if
the question was raised. He said the
court had given the supervisors no no.
tice, and he knew nothing excepting
what appeared in the papers.
District Attorney Rawlins gave an
opinion that until a decree had been
signed the board could act, and would
be acting under the law. He agreed
with Judge Whiting that it was simply
an opinion, and the judgment had not
been entered AS counsel in the case
he had received no notice and it was
his opinion that every man was entitled
to hold his office until the decree had
been signed He said he intended to
hold on to his office until notified that
a decree had been signed, and then he
proposed to object to the decree.
Supervisor Lucas said that if man
had qualified properly he was entitled
to his Office and he moved that the bond
be approved
MIR. Gilman stated that he would vote
for the approval of the bond if the
board could legally do so, and would
accept the opinion of the county at
torney. The bond was then approved
unanimously.
Supervisor Gilman reported for the
on health that a conference
had been held with the trustees of
Queens Hospital. the Leahi Hospital
and the Kapiolani Maternity Home, but
no decision had been reached. and the
committee was given further time.
An adjournment was taken until Mon
day morning at ten o'clock or if not
called sooner by the chair. The mem
bers were notified also to attend the
conference with the Governor at nine
) clock this morning.
