The GRAFT Committee REPORT.

Briefly put, the report of the House
committee of investigation places the
blame of the graft talk on Represen-
tative Long and criticises the COM
mittee in charge of the translation
of bills for allowing the employment
of incompetent translators at the in
stance of members of the House.
II finds no graft or bribery. 1t
does not find that any member has
been securing any money or emolu-
ment from the translation of bills
turned over to particular friends or
henchmen.
This committee report lays the
burden of criticism on the shoulders
of the Representatives who resented
the original imputatlon of the Speak
er that grating tactics were involv-
ed in the resolution introduced by
Representative Alfonso in connection
with the stenographer's notes of the
session. ......
AS the testimony has developed, 1t
appears TO this paper that not all
the reckless talk should be saddled
on the luckless members who failed
to gain the Speakers consent to the
Introduction of resolution. The
Speaker was either reckless or did
not gauge his words with sufficient
care when he placed the stain of sug-
gested graft against resolve before
It was fairly before the House.
AS to the TRANSACTIONS, 1t is almost
impossible to understand how the
investigating committee can come to
some of its conclusions. The evil
dence is quite satisfactory for the or
/ binary observer that incompetent
translators have been employed at
the instance of members Investigate
ed. To critioise the committee hav-
ing the matter in charge and exon
crate the member who ordered the
work done by an incompetent Is ra.
Their unexpected, and is hardly fair
play for the Printing Committee. II
makes the investigating committee
ridiculous.
The committee of Investigation Is
absolutely sound in its recommends
ton that the translating business OF
the House should be done by compe-
tent men. Why the committee takes
occasion to rap certain Representa-
tives and avoids others Is probably
best understood by those intimately
acquainted with the undercurrents
of personal influence that control the
affairs of the House.
The report would be absolutely
just IL 1t stated that there were nj
grounds for the Speakers imputa

PISTOLS BEFORE COFFEE
GUEST Leaves in HUR RY

/, Paaluhi, an aged Hawaiian, caus-
ed a sensation out Manoa way yes
terday morning. It appears that the
old man had imbibed quite a lot of
liquor before sitting down to the
matutinal meal, and, becoming an
noyed at the way the pate-de-fois-
gras was served, reprimanded the
chef. The latter, a wahine, part

the way her masterpiece was allud-

The woman asserts that paaluhi

without the formallty of packing her

not quick enough for Paaluhi, who
is alleged to have produced gun
with which to accelerate her depart
ure. Paaluhi claims he only fired in
the air as a slutc, and to lend eclat
to the guests fitting. The police
then took hand, and the gun-man
was conveyed to the station. This
morning the woman declined TO
prosecute, and Paaluhi was allowed
| to depart in peace till the next time.
A few weeks ago the same woman
called on Judge Andrade about mid
night and related a terrible tale of
woe. Her face was black and blue,

given to Mr.. Haleo, a regular trans
lator for the House, who afterwards
was paid in full for the transaction
which had already been made by the
member. The committee does not
pass on the correctness of Mr.. Ka-
leos claim for compensation, but
finds as a matter of fact that tire
bill and translation were given to
Mr.. Kaleo without the knowledge of
Representative Kaleiopu and that
Representative did not know OF the
claim entered by Mr.. Kaleo for pay
ment for such translation, nor that
he had been paid therefor. Your
committee, therefore, fully exoncr-
ates Mr.. Kaleiopu Of any blame in
the matter. ,...
This committee further finds that
there has been no instance in which
any member of this House has re-
ceived any compensation whatsoever
other than that allowed by law as
payment to members, and more par
ticularly this committee finds that
no member has received any compen-
sation whatsoever for trsnslating
, from English into Hawaiian any bill
or other paper during this session.
1 Extravaganza. This committee
has fully examined into the charges
of extravaganza made against this
House during the present session
and finds them likewise to be un-
founded. Not only has the House
conducted more business than any
previous House of Representatives
since this Territory was organized
but has done it with more expedi-
ton and less expense to the UG!ted
States, and the Territory, than any
previous session. In the particular
matter brought to public attention
by the press, that of the hire Of au-
tomobiles for the conveyance OF
members and committees in the con.
duct of their business, the commit
tee finds that not only were the rates
charged not exorbitant. but were ~

tion and that no member Of the
House should escape criticism for or
dering done that which, when per-
formed with the sanction of COM
mittee, subjects the members of the
committee to criticism.
But let us give thanks that no
graft has been discovered and that
the members of the Fifth House of
Representatives have gained infor-
nation on the best methods of pro-
cedure when dealing with the trans
cript of proceedings and the transla-
tion of bills.

NEGRO MINERS CAUSE
TROUBLE IN KENTUCKY

Lexington, Ky. May 24.--It IL stated
today that negro miners who were
brought to jackson. Breathitt county, to
succeed white miners in the coal mines
there are preparing to leave.
This decision follows an attack on
their boarding house Saturday night
in which the house was riddled with
bullets and one building partially de-
stroyed by dynamite. The situation Is
critical although no violent act has
been committed since SATURDAY night.
The negroes are terrorized, and II
any more violence r. done before the
negroes leave troops win probably be
asked for.
The outbreaks at Jackson follows
similar state of Affairs at Benson Sta
ton, franklin county, where soldiers
are guarding negro workmen at rock
quarries.
Much feeling has also been engen-
tersd in Shelby county because of the
proposed location there Of a 100000
negro school, which has bought land
near shelbyville and title examiners
for the school were warned to leave
Shelby county two weeks ago.
