SAYS SENATE
USED TO HELP
OUT GRUDGES
Member Objects to Probe AL
legged To Be Asked for Pri-
vate Grievances

II came to light in the senate this
morning that there has been pot oi
discomfort brewing for some time over
several investigations which have been
conducted by the Legislators. Ii was
emphatically limited that they had
heen-instigated by private interests
that wished to profit by the action
OF the solons.
This came to light when Senator
laukea introduced a resolution in the
senate this morning calling for an In
vestigation Of the purchasing depart
ment Of the Oahu prison. and when
Senator Chillingworth strongly resist
ed the suggestion CT the introducer
that 1t be sent to his committee.
He stated that he knew the circum-
stances under which the resolution had
been prepared, and the name of the
person who drafted 1t, and that he was
certain It was a mere attempt to use
the senate as a tool TO carry out the
scheme of the author Of the resolu
tion.
~There is a resolution similar to
this in the house now" he stated, "and
committee has been appointed to
Investigate the jail.
Il know the name of the man who
drew up this Instrument, and | be-
lfeve 1t is high time that we put a
stop to carrying on Investigations for.
the personal satisfaction of some one.
There has been too much Of that go
ing on here.
1T happens that know the man
Who drew up this resolution does not
want me on the committee. And do
not want to be on the committee. Were
named | would fIatly refuse to go
en- il"
Later Senator ChilIingworth stated.
that though he did not wish to give
tut the name OF the author, he knew
that the latter's purpose In. the prison
iastter was to carry out private
scheme.
Senator Iaukea acknowledged that
he had not personally drafted the reso-
luton, but insisted that an -investisa
ton of the purchasing department CT
the jail was proper.
Not that there is anything wrong
known to exist there" he added, @but
we should know precisely how the buy
ing is conducted, and be advised of
the conditions relating to it"
The resolution was adopted and
President Knudsen named Senators
Iaukea,e Baldwin and Judd to act on
the committee. The latter asked to be
excused, because of the enormous
amount of work the judiciary commit
tee has before it, so Senator Wirtz
was named in his stead.

MANUFA FACTURE
OF BR|CKETTES
CARGO NOW BEING SHIPPED VIA
PENSACOLA HAS BEEN PuR-
CHASED BY MANUFACTURER or
cETTE, FRANCE.

Many inquiries have been made
since the commencement of work at
Muscogee wharf in unloading the car
go of pitch as to what disposition is
made of the product in Cette, France,
where it will be carried by the steam
er Sliedrecht.
The shipment of $500 tons was pur-
chased from Corey. Ala. near Bir-
mingham. by a manufacturer of Cette
and it is to be used in the manufac-
ture of brickettes, fuel in common
use there, and which is composed 81
coal dust with the pitch as a binder
1t would be impossible to burn this
coal, so fine is it ground, without the
use OF the pitch. The bricks are
about the size of an ordinary paving
brick and weigh about the same, and
are manufactured in large quantities
in France, hydraulic presses being
used. John A. Merritt & Co, have one
in their office, which was recently sent
10 them.
