A possible change in the governor

upon the attitude of United States

that he may not take the bench again

One new measure was entered by Re-

viding that property taken by the gov

that may be owing, releasing owners
from payment of tax liens thereon.

go to the Senate to pass first reading

FREAR in FAVOR
OF CONSOLIDATION
GOVERNOR BELIEVES SINGLE sURvEc, LAND AND
PUBLIC woRKs-APPRoPRI ALTON BILL
POSITION AT $OO PER MON TH-GENERAL TALK GIVES NEW
POSITION TO MARsTON CA MPBEII.

Governor Frear is in favor of the
plan which will bring the Survey
office, the Department of Public
Works and the Land Office under one
head, according to a statement made
by him this morning. The reporC
agreed on by the conference commit
tee of the House and Senate in the
appropriation bill fixes the salary for
the head of the consolidated depart
ments at $400 per month. 1t is gen.
orally understood that Superintendent
of Public Works Marston Campbell is
in line for the position. This also
means that new positions must be
found for Land Commissioner Pratt
and Surveyor Wall or they must look
outside the government for work.
When the Governor was asked
about the matter the following CON
Versation took place:
Governor, are you in favor Of the
plan to consolidate the Survey office,
the Department of Public Works and
the Land office?
well, I believe that the Land Of

may be asked to take one of them. In
doing so he would be following a pre-
cedent, for Judge Dole resigned the
governorship in order to become fed
eral judge.
The report published in The Star
last night, OF a plan to make Kuhio
governor, has resulted in a number
of cable inquiries which may clear the
situation. In the opinions of some,
the presence of Kuhio in Los Angeles,
where Sam Parker is, may have some.
thing to do with the attempted dicker
in Washington. One theory is that it
might mean that Parker and not Ku-
hio, is the man pushed for governor in
case Frear steps out.
Parker was once before slated for
governor. 1t is generally understooi
that Roosevelt decided to appoint him
and told Parker so. The late Prince
David let the news leak out premature.

OBJECTION TO
PRIVATE COUNSEL

A perjury side issue of the suit of
the Chinese consul against the editor
of a Chinese newspaper brought out
a highly interesting contention in the
Circuit Court yesterday. The case is
being presented by Judge A. S. Hum
phreys, assisting the prosecution, and
defended by A. F. Judd and J. Light
foot. The last named objected to the
appearance of Judge Humphreys in the
cause as prosecuting attorney, for the
reason that he had been retained by
the Chinese consul, who is the COM
planning witness, to appear as assis-
tant to the prosecution.
The objection was partially heard
this morning and will be further ar
gued tomorrow.
The point raised by Lightfoot is a
new one, having never been presented
before. 1t is far reaching in import
ance, as it strikes directly at the more
or less common practice of counsel
in prosecuting cases while employed
privately. A decision sustaining the
point would cause almost rightabout
in past practice. It would particu-
| larly affect large plantation cases, in
which counsel frequently appear in
| like positions: and, if sustained tht
handling of prosecutions would in flu
ture be confined to the officials of the
| proper Territorial departments.
