all likelihood he went to Rochester
first and may this week go to Wash
ington to confer with the President.
So the fate of Hawaii, so far as the
gubernatorial end is concerned, is,
therefore, hanging in the balance"
The general situation in regard to
the matter is rather amusing Nobody,
except President Pinkham of the Board
of Health, has come out openly to Sc
cure the appointment. Everyone
seems to be hanging back to await the
action Of Carter. This general attitude
of holding back is rather indicative of
the prediction made in The Star some
time ago, that it was by no means i'm
probable, that Carter would relinquisn
the control of affairs here, but might
be. prevailed upon by the President, to
serve another term. Had the Cover
nor made any definite public utterance
to the erect that he would not accept
another appointment, there would
probably be plenty of candidates ont
in the open scurrying for the place.
1t is understood that Pinkham is af-
ter the position, with the understand
ing that he is in no way bucking Gov
ernor Carter. Should Carter desire to
take another term, Pinkham would, it
is said not be a candidate.

TO REVISE THE
CATHOLIC BIBLE
BENEDICTINE ORDER is GIVEN
AN IMPORTANT TASK BY PAPAL
DISQUALIFICATION OF VULGAT
DECREE.

LONDON, May 21.-In a dispatch
from Rome the correspondent of the
Times says he learns the Pope has is
sued a decree intrusting the entire re-
vision of the Vulgate to the Benedic-
tine order. This is the most impor-
tant decision yet announced, the cor
respondent continues, as an outcome
of the biblical commission appointed
toward the end of the pontificate of
Leo XIII.
In an editorial article the Times
says it is difficult to overestimate the
Importance of this step. mo book,
the paper declares, has exercised a
wider and more powerful influence in
molding the faith, morals, thought and
traditions of the literature of the Eu-
ropean world than the Latin version
of the Scriptures, which we know as
the Vulgate. For 1850 years it has
been setting it's impress upon the lives
and the whole mental heritage OF
countless millions of men,"
The paper adds that the step is a
bold one, but it will be hailed with
satisfaction by many within as well
as without the church of Rome.

A. G. Halves
POLICE FEEL THAT MISTAkH
WAS MADE WHEN JAPANESE
ALONE WAS HELD.

Fukumoto, shot by A. G.. Halves at
the latter's residence Saturday night
will cause the arrest of the man who
sent a bullet through his wrist while
he was endeavoring to take home his
daughter Fugi.
Fukumoto was arrested after the
shooting and Halves was undisturbed
by the police.
Deliberation convinced the police
that a mistake had been made in not
placing Halves under arrest and tukt
motto has been seen in regard to
swearing to a warrant.
Considerable feeling was created
among friends of Fukumoto when 1t
was learned that he had been assault
ed and then placed under arrest while
the man who discharged the revolver
was not held.
A. G. Halves on Saturday at waikiki

of a girl, Fugi, who was employed in
the Halves family, in the wrist.

Halves says, the gun was discharged
in the struggle that ensued, the bullet

We heartily endorse the sentiments

The agricultural department has not

movement. The governor n his

| loan after it's legal advisor has de-
clared that there is 30 Law for such
transaction. Had his opinion been
| otherwise, still the loan for such a
purpose should not have been sane

to put that sum of money to such a
