Senate Is Independent

The record of the vote on the veto
messages of the Governor printed in
this column yesterday gave the Elk
ecutive support to which he was not
entitled and which he did not receive.
Senators Bishop, Mccarthy, Knudsen

the veto, not to sustain it. Their votes
were against the passage of the curfew

The introduction of Senate Bill No.

the Government during the next two
years will probably be recommitted
since Senator Knudsen called attention
to the fact that, through an inadver-
lance, two items, aggregating $4,000
for improvements on the other islands
had been inserted. The Senator was
charitably disposed when he suggested
that it was a mistake to allow any of
the 100000 to get out of Oahu

Of ST. PATR|Ck'S DAY

Today the green flag with the golden
harp floats to the breeze. The bit of
green displayed and the jolly "Top

that once more Old Ireland is remem-
bered. 1t is fitting that Ireland should
hold place in the hearts of men. She
commentaries in her national holiday
no bloody triumph, no birth of earthly
potentate, but the memory of him who
brought to her shores the light of
Christianity. Her banner is nature IS
favored hue, her symbol the harp of
poetry and song. And never has ban
ner better told the sentiment and feel
ing of race, for love of poetry and
song, of music and of nature has ever
characterized the Irish race. 1t is but
song and story should have the first
place, and so the exercises this even
ing are quite appropriate, and a glance
at the program will show that they do
honor to the occasion. Year by year
these celebrations have been growing
in popular favor, and it is the aim to
each year improve upon the last. The

SUB-1REAsURY
VAULT CLERK
UNDER ARREST

Boston, Aug l6.--J. Warren Hastings,
since 1864 a trusted official at the United
States sub-treasury I'm this city was ar
rested today by secret service officers on
the charge OF embezzling from the gov
ernment $1,000 In cash on June last The
arrest OF Hastings came as great sur
prise.
1t is alleged that on June 7 three bills OF
$1,000 denomination each, were taken from
"A package containing 100000 which had
been prepared for shipment 10 the United
States treasury at Washington and which
was TO be retired from circulation. AT
the time of the discovery of the alleged
embezzlement. the officials of the sub
treasury declined 10 discuss the matter
Ii was known however that j. II. Vas
sar, the special clerk, who counted the
money previous TO shipment was held
technically liable although no suspicion
attached 10 him at any time and was
forced TO make good the deficit. The
shortage was discovered by one OF the
women clerks at the treasury department
at Washington, and for time II was
thought that either there had been
clerical error or the money had been alb
stracted during the transmission by ex-
press. An investigation showed however
that no clerical error could possibly have
been made and that when the package ar
rived in Washington,-th government
seals were unbroken.
At the order OF Charles II. Keep, treas
ursr OF the United States. secret service
officials were detailed on the case. Aftr
prolonged investigation and many con-
ferences with sub-treasurer Edwin u.
Curtis suspicion was directed toward
Hastings. who was the vault clerk at the
sub-treasury and who had access 10 the
vaults after business hours.
Hastings who is about g. years OF age
and who lives in the Back Bay district,
was questioned by the officers and finally
admitted that he had nearly 5000 In his
box at the sub-treasury.
During Hastings absence on his vaca-
ton trip he was followed closely by secret
service men and at the same time his box
at the sub-treasury was opened and found
TO contain 1880
Hastings was the official who received
the money from Special Clerk Vassar and
who sealed the package previous to ship
ping II to Washington. Although no sus-
picion was directed towards Vassar, the
forced restitution on his part practically
wiped away his life savings, Vassar had
been In the department for nearly 40
years.
Hastings was arrested by United States
Marshal Darling and two secret service
officers He collapsed when he was mott
fed and II was some minutes before he
could be taken before United States Com
missioner Hayes for arraignment.
He was held in 5000 bail for the grand
jury.

FRENCH AND SPANISH
FORCES AT ODDS

Paris. Aug i6.-The reports OF dissen-

Olalla. the Spanish commander at Casa
blanca. are officially confirmed. The lat
ter declined to take up the positions south
Of the city assigned to. him by Gen. Drude,
the commander of the French expedition
ary force. on the ground that his instruc-
Tons from Madrid specifically prohibited
him from going outside the city and re-
Etricted his action TO participation in the
restoration OF order and the installation
Of the international police inside. II is ex-
Plained. however. that the mismderstand-

lions given TO the Spanish commander.
