The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1907-06-14

ployed two others to assist him. As
the committee was led into paying
Buckland for the compilation Of the
Journal before the certificate of John
Wise, the clerk of the House, had been
secured to 1t, so that now Wise refuses
to certify 1t, so the committee was in
some way induced to pay Kelekolio for
translating 1t before the translation
was completed.
Kelekolio drew his pay in full, on the
approval of the committee, more than
a week ago-so long ago in fact that
the vouchers have already been turned
over to the archives.
But the translation of the Journal
is not completed! The Journal for the
last ten days of the session is still ex-
tant only in the English version. 1t
has not been turned into Hawaiian.
Also Kelekolio's two assistants have
not been paid for their work. II the
law covered the point they might be
entitled to a mechanics lien on the
Journal itself.
Bernard's honorarium and fee for
translating the Journal was $500. The
last and final payment of $500 was
made some time ago. Kelekolio with
a shrewd though sinister financial
adeptness, put this money in the bank,
and 1t furnished him the means by
which to get away from dis domestic
and other troubles, by the Alameda,
and likewise to furnish him means to
sustain himself on the Coast for a time

ing lectures on Hawaii does not pan

Confronted with an unfinished job for
which all the funds have been i'm
providently paid out and with even the
two assistants unpaid for the work
they have done, the members of the
House committee that had the COM
'pilation and publication of the House
Journal in charge have decided to
shoulder the financial burden them
selves and pay the Boy orators as
sistants and complete the translation.
Kelekolio, who has been an employee
of the Office of the Chief Clerk of the
Executive Department for several
years, surprised Acting Governor At
kinson yesterday morning by rendering
his resignation Domestic difficulties,
he said, had been weighing on him,
and he proposed to get away from them
The resignation was not altogether un-
acceptable and it was accepted. Joseph

The salary of the position is $40 a
month. His resignation accepted, the
Boy Orator bade adieu to his friends
and acquaintances and went down to
the Alameda wharf. There he told
acquaintances that he was just going
up to the Coast for a trip and would
be back again very soon.
About noon Mrs. Kelekolio appeared
