APPOINTMENTS CONFIRMED.
All of the appointments of the Gov
ernor sent to the Senate for approval
on Tuesday, excepting those of cleo
ton inspectors not considered, were
confirmed in open session. The only
trouble was over the three Commits
sioners of Public instruction.
Kalama moved the Senate do not
concur in the nomination of David K.
Al, as he was clergyman in active
service. Dickey denied the statement.
Achi said Al was assistant pastor of
Kawaiahao church. Bishop said he was
not an ordained minister. Kalama said
further that All was going away to col
lege. Lane had heard the same thing
and 1t was no use appointing a man
who was going to leave the Territory.
Paris replied that they could not ac
cept hearsay, and that the Governor
no doubt knew Mr.. All could attend
to the duties before appointing him.
Al was confirmed, four Senators
raising their hands against him.
Kalama moved that Mrs. Henry II. |
Wilcox be not confirmed. Some time
ago Senators objected to having wom
en- on the Board of Education. It had
been stated that they wanted a good
working board. Paris did not see why
woman should not be appointed. |
There was not woman in the coun- |
try who took more interest in educa- |
tion than Mrs. Wilcox.
Achi said they wanted that depart |
ment to be run by business men in !
creasing 100000 a year. What Mr.. |
Paris had said would have applied to
Mrs. Hall, but the Senate refused to !
confirm her. Two of the nominees !
were newspapermen and one WAS a |
woman here is the business man7'
Achi asked. What was the use of ap- |
pointing two newspapermen who !
would be fighting each other, Earring |
ton being editor of the Bulletin and |
Al representing the Advertiser and |
Kuokoa9
Gandall sa1u he should be very sorry |
if the nomination of Mrs. Wilcox was |
not confirmed. He had known her |
many wears. She had done a great !
deal for the Hawaiians. The only |
reason they had against the ladies |
formerly on the board was that they |
failed to visit the schools. If they |
confirmed Mrs. Wilcox she would give |
her time to the duties of the office.
Mrs. Wilcox was confirmed, to 5,
on a show of hands
Wallace R. Harrington was then con-
frmed by II hands.
The other nominations were then |
confirmed without opposition.
