CRAFT INQUISIT|ON
IS NOW IN SESSION
M RIaskI9Rss .fN 8 z

The graft" committee is in session.
Coney in the House this morning
moved suspension of the rules to that
he and Shingle and Kawewehi might at
once get to work with the investigation
of alleged translating Irregularities.
Following discussion hereafter noted
the rules were suspended in order that
the committee might sit while the
House was in session.
Chairman Shingle called the press
representatives into the committee
room and stated that, while the COM
mittee was legally empowered to hold
either public or private meetings, it
had been decided to admit the public
as represented by the reporters. The
first meeting will be held at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon and Mr.. Irwin, repre-
senting the Evening Bulletin, in which
paper the charges were made, will be
the first witness.
Il believe it is the right of every
member of this House to be present at
this investigation said Cohen, that
they may, if they desire assist in the
examination of Witnesses"
This matters in the hands of a spe-
cial committee, remarked Sheldon
and it is up to that committee to get
to work. Besides, the meetings OF
COMMITTEES are always public"
Shingle declared it the idea OF the
special committee to sit during House
sessions, so that members of the House
and of the press would be within handy
call. He had seen the Attorney-Gen-
General and secured his services for
the inquisition
haleiopu showoo that all the resolu-
ton called for was an examination OF
certain members who might, if there
were any such, have received comperr.
sation otherwise than provided by law.
The resolution he saidf, was a farce.
and Long agreed with him. The COM
mittee was confined to the one question
of possible unauthorized remuneration
Long pointed out that such a ques-
tion naturally involved the method of
acquiring unauthorized remuneration.
Shingle declared he would rather be
counted out of the investigation COM
mittee than to be confined to any tech
nical point Graft was graft, and if
such a thing existed in the House he
wanted to get to the bottom of it, This
was a serious matter and it was up
to the House to get a clean bill of
health. This story of alleged graft
had been cabled to the mainland. It'll
didn't look well, it didn't sound well
If the House wanted a thorough inves-
tigation, let's have it forthwith.
Kaleiopu said that the resolution
under discussion was that of the judi |
ciary committee, whereas his, Kaleio- |
pu's resolution, which had been tabled |
Tor the judiciary substitute, was broad !
and would have left no question, for it
included an investigation of all things
possible.
Speaker Holstein did not see why
his committee could not do a tho
rough job; If they discovered anything
over which they thought they did ont
have jurisdiction they could ask the
House for further jurisdiction and un-

Within a short time the trustees of

are trying to find some way out of
the difficulty. 1t is possible that

Attempt To Raise
Attorney General
Salary Fails

President Smith furnished the ma

Senate this morning, in the form of
a motion to increase the salary of
the Attorney General from 5000 to
$4OO a month. Only the premier eco
nomist Fairchild supported him and
the opposition from friend and foe of
Mr.. Hemenway alike was so sharp
that the president withdrew the mo-

an envelope, This the Speaker did not
look at The resignation finally ac-
cepted was, as were the others, tender
ed for the reason that Lloyd did not
want to be discharged. He would not
have been discharged, but his pay
would have been questioned when he
called for his warrant.
Lloyds fear of being discharged was
not through what might develop, he
says, but that he did not wish to give
the Speaker the chance to discharge
him.
The only charge the Speaker ever
made against Lloyd was the sugges-
tion that he was not an expert steno-
grapher and his assertion in this re-
gard was not made in public and he
had no desire to make it public, having
no wish to hurt Lloyd His remark
was published without his expectation
and, he says, he believed such remark
to have been a confidential communI-
cation.

of Equalizers and recommend
that the reduction of 80 l-3 per

explanation is due from him, If
not to the whole people, at least
to those who elected him.
