SENATE ENDORSES PLAN
FOR CONSOLIDATION OF
THE THREE DEPARTMENTS
Salary of Chief Fixed at
$4,000 a Year.--PIan
of Bureau System.

In the course of the consideration
of the appropriation bill yesterday af-
sernoen the Senate Endorsed the plan
for the consolidation of the Survey De-
partment, the Public Lands Depart
ment and the Department of Public
Works. The appropriations for the
three departments named had been de-
ferred when they came up for consid-
Grafton on the regular order in the bill
because of the failure of the Senate to
reach a conclusion on the idea as spon-
sored by Senator Fairchild, the chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit,
tee.
Yesterday Fairchild submitted the
appropriations outlined for the con.
solidation scheme In the course of his
remarks upon the plan he said that
there was no question of the efficiency
of the government service being ma
terially increased by Capitalization of
authority and administrative functions.
He was supported by Senators w. O.
Smith and Mccarthy, the latter max
ing motion that the sense of the com
mittee of the whole be considered as
an favor of the plan, the motion being
carried with but one negative vote,
that of Senator Makekau
Under the financial statement as sub
united by Senator Fairehild, there will
be a saving of approximately $4,000
through the consolidation PLAN The
salary of the head is fixed at $4,000 a
year.
In supporting the plan, Senator
Smith stated that it would be much
like the bureau system that prevailed
mnder the Republic, and he gave as his
opinion that the provisions of the Or
ganic Act would not affect the legality
of the departmental merging under one
executive head.

nual Meeting at San Francisco Shows Fine
Results From Years Business.

At the annual meeting of the Hawai-

To the Directors and Stockholders of
the Hawaiian Commercial and Sua-
ar Company.
Gentlemen: In submitting the an
nual report for the year ending Deeem-
Der 81, 1908, it is well to first state
that on July l, 1908, the Hawaiian Com
mereial & Sugar Company purchased
the personal property and leased the
lands formerly belonging to tile Kihei
Plantation Company, Limited and as
the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Com
pany paid the expenses of maintenance,
and received all the income of the XII
hei Plantation Company, Limited, from
January l to July /, therefore, all fig
ures as to acreage, tonnage, etc, con
tanned in this report, will include the
crops of the former Kihei Plantation
Company. Limited.
The past year was most prosperous
for this company, as to yield and price
of sugar, but the climatic conditions
were not as favorable to growing crops
in 1908 as in 1907. due largely to the
temperature averaging lower in 1905
and 30 the fact that the water supply
was not as good in 1908 as in 1907, a;
will be seen by the following ditet
record:

Coelho's Fishing Bill Is
Defeated - Medical
Trust Bill Killed.

Coelho' Fishery bill went to its
last resting place "unwept, unhonored
and unsung'i yesterday in the House,
not a voice being raised either in
praise of it or to ask mercy upon it,
1t was simply styled an undesirab bic
bit of legislation and showed to one
side as speedily as possible.
Yesterday was regular slaughter
ing day in the House anyway. Two
of Coelho's legislative attempts were
killed; Douthitt IS Medical Trust bill
got the axe and bill intended to make
it a bad thing to be convicted of as
sault and battery got the axe on third
reading.
One important bill introduced made
it punishable offense to know of the
presence of CHAMBERS or farcy without
informing the authorities.

Coelho's Fishing Bill Killed. y
On report of the Police and Health
Committee, Coelho s fool anti-Japanese
fishing bill was properly killed, being
laid on the table The report of the
committee was, in part:
s'The object of this bill is to pro-
hibit aliens from fishing within GER
tain limits from the beach line, con-
fining them to deepsea fishing only.
Although this bill would allow them
to fish beyond the reef, it would still
prevent them from fishing for the re-
quired bait which can only be obtained
within the prohibitory zone and thus
impose upon them an unnecessary
hardship and expense.

The charges of graft in the present
House of representatives, as made by
the Evening Bulletin, and supported
on the floor of the House by one or tive.
members, fell abruptly to the ground
yesterday, when the special graft
committee held its first session. The
Bulletin reporter who wrote the story
and Representative Long, who supplied
most of the alleged facts, were the
only ones who appeared to know any
thing at all about anything suspicious
having transpired, while the other
members examined fastened to state
that they knew nothing suspicious,
suspected nothing suspicious and were
looking for nothing suspieious-all
but Castro, who stated that he would
like to find some member sidestepping
so that he could put him in Jail.
The charges of graft, in which the
names of Representatives Sheldon and
Kaleiopu were mentioned, appeared to
be absolutely disproved, their expla
nations of what had appeared to be
suspicious circumstances being clear,
explicit and convincing.
Former House Stenographer Lloyd
was the only one who did not come
out of the investigation, so far, with
absolutely clean skirts. So far as the
matter of translating was concerned,
it was brought out in evidence that
$554.34 had been spent, a smaller
amount than most people expected,
divided as follows. James Apau,
1860; A. st. c. Piianaia. 1878; J..
Fl. S. Kaleo. $500; F. J. Tesla, $780,
90; R. N. Boyd, $1.60; J. NJ. Poepoe,
$2707; Solomon Hanohano, 1854; J..
H., Wise, s27.16; J. G. NJ. Sheldon,
$117.95; J. P. Makainai, 1854; and
w. c. Achi, $63.64.
Shingle in Charge.
The Graft Investigating Committee
with Single in the chair, came to
order shortly after two o'clock in the
Speakers room. There were present
only the members of the committee,
Deputy Attorney General Whitney,
| Mossman, clerk of, the committee, and
the press representatives.
E. p Irwin of the Bulletin was call
ed as witness and sworn. After sta
| ting that he had written an article d.
rectly accusing members of the House
| of graft, he was asked who his inform
ant was:
THAT [ cannot say directly an
swered Irwin, "but the person quoted
by me is Representative Long, who
after the publication of the article
confirmed the truth of it,
| Irwin was asked some further ques-
tions regarding the sources of his in
formation originally, but declined to
answer, pleading that the information
came to him as privileged eommuni-
cation. He stated, however, that
Long might not be positive in his own
mind concerning the facts.
Irwin mentioned the name of the
messenger of the House, who had re-
