No MONEY IN
SIGHT FOR
GRAFTERS
Nothing for interpret
ers in $4,000 Ap-
preparation.

| There has been a lot of comment
| about town over the fact that in max.
ing the appropriation of $4,000 foi
legislative expenses in Hawaii, the Con
| gress of the United States has made
no provision that any part of this sun
| shall be expended for translating OF
Interpreting. Evidently, Congress looks
| upon HAWAII as a part of the United
States, whether the Home Rulers and
the cafe au lait crowd of politicians
generally do or whether they do not.
The estimate in the bill upon which the
appropriation was passed, as submit
ted by the Secretary of the Treasury,
reads as follows:
Legislative Expenses. Territory of
Hawaii.
For legislative expenses, namely:
Furniture, light, stationery, record cas-
lngs and files, printing and binding. in
dexlng records, postage, ice, water,
clerk hire, mileage of members, incl
dentals, pay of chaplain, clerk, ser
geant-at-arms, stenographers and mes
sengers for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1907;
Provided, That the members of the
Territory of Hawaii shall not draw
their compensation of two hundred dol
lars for any extra session held in COM
pliance with section fifty-four of an
act to provide government for the
Territory of Hawaii, approved April
80, 1900, $30,O0O''
LEGITIMATE EXPENSES.
That is, the money may be expended,
provided the statesmen consent to fore
go their extra session graft and thereby
save the Territory another $4,000 at the
rate of 5000 head for them, for furni-
ture, lights, stationery, record castings
and files, printing, binding, ice, wafer, |
clerk hire, mileage of members, incl
dentals (Which does not mean inter |
preting or translating, by any stretch |
of elastic political conscience) pay of |
chaplain, clerk, sergeant-at-arms, stem |
ographers and messengers.
These are the legitimate expenses of |
an American legislative session. None /
y
penses that are not legitimate. 1t can
not be drawn, if that is DONE And, if
it is attempted to be done by any sub
terfuge, the person or persons making
the attempt will run up against the
laws OF the United States. Which are
not nice to the malefactor. Not even
a Territorial Legislature is as big as
Federal grand jury.
Perhaps this viii bring up once more
he old question of the existence in the
legislature of that anomalous condi-
ion which permits of the employment
If interpreters, and the use of two lam
,uages and the consequent waste of
ime where one language should serve.
There can be no question that this con-
Iition was never contemplated in the
reation of the Territory. The land is

To, MAKE TEST
On WITNESS
FEES
Does the Territory or
the County Foot
the Bills?

A test case is to be made to decide
whether the Territory or the counties
shall pay the expenses of witness in
criminal cases. Perhaps the validity
of the County Act may be called in
question, but that lis unlikely.
The question as to the payment of
it is contained in this instance in a
very small bill. The expense, in fact,
is something like fifteen dollars, and
it was incurred by Chief Clerk Buck
land, of the secretary's office, who was
ordered by his chief to go down to
Kauai a couple of weeks ago TO be a
witness and as the custodian of record
documents in the case of the Territory
against Kanealii, the Garden Island
Supervisor accused of forgery in the
securing of signatures to his election
petition.
Kanealii was acquitted. and when
Clerk Buckland returned he put in a
bill for his expenses as witness
which he had been ordered to do. This
claim was rejected by Territorial Au-
ditor Fisher. 1t was passed up to the
Attorney Generals department, Where
1t was supposed to properly belong,
and with view to making a test case,
General Peters promptly re-
fused to pay it.

A very pleasant and interesting
local feature of the proceedings at
the State House last night was the
presentation to Mr.. John Il. Sullivan
It was a very handsome diamond
ring, Tiffany setting. The stone is
one and a-balf karat and beautifully
cut stone without a flaw or a blem-
ish. The presentation was made by
Delegate Goodw in, of Baltimore coun.
ty, on the part of the employees and
desk clerks.
Mr. Sullivan is rated chief of the
employees and is assistant to the chief
clerk of the House of Delegates. In
presenting the ring Delegate Goodwin
made a neat speech Commendatory of
Mr. Sullivan, which, at its close, was
loudly applauded.
In acknowledging the gift Mr, Sui
livan, to whom the gift came most
unexpectedly, was too full for utter
ance tie made brief speech. which
he said, though brief came from his
heart. He said the ring was rich in
value and design and he would wear
it, and those of his family who come
after him would probably wear it
with grateful remembrance and ap-
probation of the givers-the en-
ployees of tine Leg islature OF 1906.
Mr. Sullivan is well known about
the State House aud is always faith
full and efficient in whatever service
he undertakes TO perform. The gift
was a deserved recognition Of his ser.

DEFENSIVE AREAS.
For The Fortified Strategic Ports
On The Coasts.

The naval general board and the
Joint army and navy board have been
considering the report Of Rear Admi-
raj @. +. CLARK, u. $. N, setting
forth that in the event of war it will
be necessary TO establish defensive
areas in the neighborhood of fortified
strategic ports, within which areas
the movements of vessels both of the
navy aud mercantile marine must be
controlled and restricted for the pur-
pose Of preventing them from being
exposed TO danger from submarine
mines. to prevent injuTystu or inter
ference with such mines and to pre-
vent observations by unauthorized
persons respecting the nature and ex-
tent of military preparations.
This communication, having been re-
ferred to the joint army and navy
board, was returned with statement
of the conclusions reached by that
body, viz
"rhat the following principles be
accented in relation to the coast de-
fenses of the United States That de-
Tense areas should be established; that
in providing for the defense of any
harbor or port by the planting of
mines a passageway should be left 50
as to permit of the safe Ingress and
ergessssof commercialsand naval vessels
through the mine fields. and that the
nvy may best have control of the in
gress and egress of vessels within the
defense areas.
