Smith. "Of course, don't believe
everything that l see in the newspapers,
but l should like to know what there
is in this, as where there is so much
smoke there must be some fire. What
can you say about this matter?''

Kuhio," stated Pinkham, putting spe-
cial stress>on the word authority. elf
he gives a guarantee, it is on his own
word, and on some private expressions
of opinion. I am not responsible for
what appears in the newspapers
DR.. Wayson, in a low voice, which
could not be heard from where the re-
porters sat, made some mention of
a meeting held at the Young Hotel.
'Pinkham replied still lower, evidently
intending not to be heard, though the
first question was only missed on ac-
count of the passing of a wagon near
by.
Wayson then said that whatever had
been done must have been at a private
meeting that he had not attended, as
he was sure that nothing of the kind
had occurred at the meeting on Tues
day. This caused another remonstrance
from Pinkham and the meeting was
adjourned.
The members of the Board gathered
outside the door and chatted with re-
porters. Mark p Robinson stated that
he had attended two meetings held
privately, the last at the Young Hotel,
where President Pinkham resides. Way
son asked the reporters what they
thought of the matter and when told
that they were going back TO make an
attempt to get the truth out of Pink
ham, said:
"Well, if you can get at it you will
find that Cupid had his assurances
down in black and white, and that
Pinkham has a copy of them. Whether
they were signed or not can not say. -
Fred c. Smith stated that he had
known of both meetings that had been
held but had not attended either. The
second one, which was held at the
Young Hotel, he stated he understood
he had been telephoned to attend, but
that he could not be found. He said
that he would not have taken part in
the, meeting anyhow, as he had con-

the Territorial Treasurer at the begin

that the company had assets of $780,

may be disregarded altogether. The
charter and franchise is worth $3.50,
according to the statement. AS a mat

cents on the hundred dollars. Loans
