CARTER SORRY
FOR WIRELESS
Says Frear Should Have Ap-
proved Law Protecting
Companies.

am very sorry that Governor
Frear did not favor the wireless bill
which was passed by the Legislature, -
said George R. Carter yesterday after
noon. "There is no doubt but that a
mistake was made in the first place
when bill was introduced providing
for a $500 license fee on all wireless
companies or persons using wireless
telegraphy in the islands. The solons
decided that this should be entitled an
act to provide for monopoly, and they
acted accordingly
SIN the second bill, also, there was
apparently a slight mistake made. This
bill provided that anyone operating
wireless outfit for commercial purposes
should be taxed a license fee of $25
The bill was passed through both
houses, but was killed through the
pocket veto of the Governor. Although
the bill was faulty in some respects,
I believe that it would have done con-
siderable good and should have been
made a law 1t could have been
amended at the next session of the

GOOD OUTWE|GHED
BY BAD IN BILLS
STILL UNSIGNED

"Among the bills now under consid
Grafton are some measures good in prin-
ciple but containing matter that will
probably make it inadvisable for me
to sign them. The good is outweighed
by the bad" said Governor Frear, yes
terday, in reference to the fact that
seventeen bills and one joint resolu-
tion are in his hands, subject to his
pocket veto. Whether any of the eigh-
teen measures yet alive are to be sign
ed by him or not was not definitely
stated
The Governor is of the opinion that
it is quite within his power to sign
any of the measures if he approves
of them. "'The right of the Executive
to sign bills after the adjournment of
the Legislature is clear" he said,
"provided the signature is at
fixed within ten days after the time
the bill is submitted Whether it would
be legal to sign bill after the expira-
ton of the ten days is not so GER
tain.
The Governor, the Territorial Secre-
tary and the Attorney General worked
over bills to be considered until long
after midnight on Wednesday morning
and toiled also over bills far into the
night on the day of adjournment. A
decision on some of the measures not
signed was not reached in time to
either sign or veto them. Whether
such decision has as yet been reach
ed is not known. Yesterday the Gov

FEDERAL MONEY IS
NOT ALL HERE YET

Discussing Clerk Conkling, who has
been doing out the money sent from
Washington to pay the expenses of the
session of the Legislature, was busily
scratching figures on pad yesterday
trying to be committee of ways and
means. He was figuring out way
to pay twelve hundred dollars worth
of vouchers with six hundred dollars
left in his fund for disbursement. At
ter adding up a column of figures sew
eral times and getting a variety of
totals. he concluded to wait for the
arrival of the Alameda this morning
to see if the ten thousand dollars to
come would arrive.
The Federal government voted thirty
thousand dollars for the expenses Of
the session, sending on twenty thou
sand before the legislators passed the
bill approPriating their own salaries
even. On the balances Of this twenty
thousand the other expenses Of the
House and Senate have been paid. and,
if the Legislature had only spent six
hundred less. the first installment
would have met all demands As it is
there win be $4,000 to finish paying
for the Journal and meet what other
expenses can be charged against the
seasonal expenses during the next two
years.
If the Alameda does not bring the
draft from the Capital, someone will
have to wait for the next mail for
his money.

GOVERNOR HAS NO ONE
IN VIEW To SUCCEED
TREASURER CAMPBELL
The Blame for Situation Belongs to the Senate
Which Delayed Consideration of
First Nomination.

The question as to who is to be the
Treasurer of the Territory is 10 nearer
settlement now than it was the day
after the Senate refused to confirm
the nomination of A. J. Campbell,
whose term ceased at midnight Wed
nesday. In reply to a direct question
as to whether he had as yet secured
a suitable candidate for the position,
Governor Frear yesterday returned
direct reply in the negative.
Failure on the part of the Senate to
bel! when it was first sent down is
the principal reason ascribed by the
Governor for his failure to be able to
make an appointment before the Leg
islature adjourned.
"When the Senate failed to confirm
Mr.. Campbell S appointment as treas
urer, had no intention of renominating
Mr.. Campbell during the session or ap-
pointing him after the close of the
session against the wishes of ma
jority of the Senate" said the Gov
ernor yesterday. "I so informed the
members of the Senate and others. That
is still my intention. On the contrary,
on several occasions when matter
has come up in conversation, L have
stated that it was no easy matter to set
tie the question of who should be treas
urer and that [ did not know whether
1 could settle it before the end of the
session
II have made no promise, express or
implied or intimation of any kind that
I would nominate another for the po-
sition before the close of the Senate,
and it is as ridiculous to infer such a
promise from the fact that | expressed
my intention not to reappoint Mr..
Campbell against the wishes of the Sen
ate as it would be to infer such prom
Use from the mere fact that l had such
an intention.
Gas matter of fact, [ have strenu
ously endeavored to settle the question
for the purpose of sending the name to
the Senate before the end of the ses-
sion, as l preferred very much to have
the Senate pass upon the name, but
found it impossible to do SO. 1t win be
remembered that the Senate postponed
action. on the treasurer's name until
late in the session. If it had taken
earlier action, there might have been
time to settle the question of his sue
cessor.
''There are number of other posi-
tions to be filed, nominations for which
it was impossible to send to the Senate
before its adjournment, more particular

vided for by resolutions or bills passed

"Here one dollar is enough to keep

those lepers amount-imagine-f a

LEGISLATORS
READY To CD
Silence New Reigns Supreme
in Halls of the
Lawmakers.

The members of the Fifth Terrific
rial Legislature spent yesterday fold
ing up their tents, specializing about
a new Treasurer, carefully forgetting
every pledge breaking vote, and per-
fecting their plans to silently steal
away to Kauai, to Maui and to Ha-
wall.
The tremendous transition from the
throes of legislative activity to abso-
lutte quietude, with only an occasional
clerk fitting across the landscape,
made the legislative chambers in the
Capitol seem "ghostly and unreal
yesterday. The usual accumulation of
post legislative debris was evident in
both houses. 1t is probable that If
Sherlock Holmes dropped in at the
Capitol yesterday he would deduce
that a number of the Senators ard
representatives have a marked weak
ness for wastebaskets-they had nearly
all disappeared. Senator Coelho was
seen hurrying down the street with
four, and despite the efforts of two
other Senators to overtake him-they
needed a basket too-he proved that
he could run as fast as he can talk
making him a promising candidate for
any future Marathon.
The work of completing the journals
is the most important work that con-
fronts the clerical force of the Senate
and House of Representatives. Every
effort has been made to keep the work
up throughout the course of the ses-
sion, and it is believed that the
journals will be ready much earlier
than is usual.
