WASHINGTON, july l6.-Senator

He appears bent on opposing Presi-

Late yesterday afternoon, at an ex-

Oliver L. Newman. who was Presi-
dent Wilson's personal choice, as ono
OF the new commissioners of the Dis.

man had made close study OF the

Senator Townsend, took the side

Newman on the score that he had not

WHERE The TERRITORY NAY SAVE

A reorganization Of the territorial mmigra-
ton service, along the lines indicated in the
Star Bulletin Yesterday by members Of the board
who believe in cutting down expenses ought to
be undertaken at once. There is no nse in con-
timing the present system longer. AS this paper
has stated and as members Of the board admit,
the territory is not getting its moneys worth
from the service.
Over this unfortunate condition neither the
boards members nor its salaried officers have
control The facts are that the bringing of i'm
migrants from Europe is exceedingly costly and
that the immigrants leave in almost if not quite
as large numbers as they arrive So long as the
planters continue to import Filipinos at the
present rate, there is not going to be much de-
mand for the European labor, the Filipinos up
to the present time displaying less disposition
to shift to the coast and being economically
cheaper labor than the Europeans. Charter
rates for immigrant ships are high, there is no
surety of employment for the labor even when it
arrives, and many of the immigrants desert Har
Wali TOT the malniahu as sOon DIS they cdh geb
transportation to San Francisco There is al
possibility that Hawaii might secure the enact,
ment Of law to prevent this, but the possibility
is remote.
1t has been no secret for months past that
Commissioner of immigration Clark was in SYM
patty with plan for reorganization of the work
and a reduction of expenses and as members of
the board have recently stated, the reduced funds
for immigration and Che uncertainty as to the
special income tax collections make retrench-
ment imperative The Star Bulletin believes
that the present system should be changed as
quickly as possible, overhead charges in the de-
partment be reduced and operating expenses cut
all along the line. Here is chance to save and
the territory should take advantage of it at once.

The HAWAIIAN FLAG.

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: The controversy current rela-
tive to the origin of the present Ha-
waiian flag is my excuse for the fol-
lowing historic narration in support
of the Adams claim.
Adams own log-book while twice
referring To his use of the Hawaiian
flag in 1916, does not lay claim TO its
making. yet that fact docs not contro-
vert the general belief from the testi-
mony OF his descendants and corrob-
grated by various persons and init
mate neighbcrs who had and have
knowledge from himself as being the
designer of the present flag and max
ing the first use of il in taking com
mand of the brig Kaahumanu on its
sandalwood venture of the kings in
China. There is some significance in
the fact that Adams claim was never
refuted during his lifetime, nor until
long after the death OF H. L. Sheldon,
the veteran editor who was cognizant
of its origin, nor any counter claim
made public for the distinction of It's

ton to preside at criminal hearing
Attorney Frank E. Thompson goes,
even further in constituting the intent
of the Organic Act.
Since that important clause was
omitted. and no provision is made for
the circuit judges further service un-
til a new appointment is made, he is
out of office" said he, "and legally
has no more right to sit in a case
than 20 uOr /. tn tconsent of the
parties at issue gives him no better
lega lstanding and makes his position
as judge no more firm.
why, If that were possible two
parties might as well agree upon any
third party as jugs, no matter who
he is, and let him preside over their
case, later appealing to the supreme
court for his decision"
Section 80 of the Organic Act plainly
provides for the appointment of the
circuit judges for four-year term and
for their removal before that time by
the president; but it also distinctly
omits the clause used in another Sec
tion relating to the appointment and
tenure of the governor and executive
officials. In the case of the latter, they
are to serve until their SUCCESSORS are
appointed and have been duly quail
field
Only once before, since the Organic
Act went into effect, has a situation
similar to the present one arisen.
About three years ago the term of Cir
cult Judge William ]. Robinson of tho
First circuit, expired and several
months passed before ne was reap
pointed. The attorney general of the
territory, viewing the Organic Acts
omission, refused to authorize the pay
ment of his salary for those months.
Judge Robinson sought an interpreta
ton of the Act by taking the matter
into court and it was carried to the
United States court of claims. That
body neatly side-stepped the real point
at issue by ruling that "inasmuch az
he had been reappointed he was en-
titled to the salary for the intervening
months"
The same omission is noted in Sec
ton Sc of the Organic Act, relating
to the appointment and tenure OF the
federal court officials, who serve
terms of six years. In the present in
stance this does not affect the dis
trict attorneys office, for although R.
w. Breckons has sent in his resignae
ton, his term of office does not ex-
pire until February 10, next year.
The judges whose commissions have
expired, and who, local attorneys de-
clare, are no longer entitled to sit
Until reappointed, are Associate JUS
tice Antonio Perry, of the supreme
court; Judge w. L. Whitney, of the
first circuit, Honolulu; Judge ]. A.
Mathewman, of the third circuit, Ko-
ma. Hawaii; Judge C. F. Parsons, of
the fourth circuit, at Hilo, and Judge
Selden S. Kingsbury, of the second
circuit, Maui

DENVER's MUNICIPAL EXPERIMENT

Commission government does not necessarily
mean short-ballot government. Take the recent
election in the city of Denver, for instance In
that election the people voted for auditor, COM
missioner of property, commissioner Of finance,
commissioner of safety, commissioner of i'm
proyements, and commissioner of social welfare,
together with nine charter amendments and i'm
portant ordinances Only six public officials
were voted for, but there were 40 names on the
ballot, the printing of which occupies an entire
page in a recent issue of the Denver Post
Clearly, with the voters confronted with 40
names from which to choose five Denver has not
vet achieved short-ballot government OF course
II was the first election under the modernzed
svstem and every citizen with political ambi-
tions sstook a chance, apparently, at the polls.
So large a number might not appear again. At
the same time where there are twenty candidates
for one office elected at large there is little OPP
portunity for the voters to become acquainted
with individual merits
1t will be noticed that Denver is not electiag
merely commissioners, but commissioners for
some specific duty. This point was argued at
great length during Honolulu's recent agitation
for commission government. Denver does not
wish to name five undesignated commissioners
and allow them to parcel out among themselves
the duties of municipal office.
While commission government is not neces-
sarily short-ballot government, in the sense that
choice is restricted to a few prominent candi-
dates, it is virtually shortballot government in
the sense that public attention is concentrated
on few prominent offices That is the force of
the system.

CASE
PROVES TO Be
BLOOMER

The Hawaiian Bar Associations in
yestigation of the charges preferred
against Attorney Carl S. Carlsmith,
of Hilo, by Judge Joseph 5. Ferry OF
the same city, which has been in pro-
gress since last November, apparently
has come to naughrt. The association
at its annual meeting yesterday after
noon accepted the report of its spe-
cial committee on the matter, but did
nothing further.
The report goes into the subject
quite thoroughly, intimates at one or
two points that certain acts of Attor-
ney Carlsmith "seem incredible" but
makes no recommendation to the as
sociation.
Taking refuge in the fact that Judge
Ferry asked only for an investigation
on which action seemed to be re-
the organization. made no attempt to
go further. =
"The committee discloses nothing
on which action seemed to be re-
CURED; had it recommended action,
or shown facts to warrant it, the As
ISOLATION undoubtedly would have SO
ordered stated. one member today.
Members of the legal profession
seemed to avoid any lengthy or de-
tailed discussion of the affair, mere
ly saying the report spoke for itself.
Six charges were made by Judge
Ferry against Attorney Carlsmith, all
arising last year from litigation sur
rounding the probating of the estate
of Guido de Souza and the handling of
the property for the widow by Carl
smith. Mrs. de Souza made a number
of payments to Carlsmith and the dis
pute arose over these.
At one point in the report the COM
mittee says:
"Mr. Carlsmith acted toward this
woman as if he were unaware of the
law of principal and agent, viz: that
it is the principal that is entitled to
an account from the agent, not the
agent from the principal
At another point the following COM
ment is made:
at seems incredible that a practis-
ing attorney of any standing, who I'M
dertakes financial transactions on be-
half of clients, did not keep books of
account. did not keep a cash book
that he balanced, did not even keep
memoranda upon which he could rely
70 prevent him from mixing an item
of 1926 of his clients money with his
cwn. But these almost incredible
things did happen in this case as Mr..
Carlsmith confessed"
The investigating committee, APP
pointed by President F. E. Thompson,
of the bar association, consisted of
Henry Holmes, C. w. Ashford and
Alex. Lindsay, Jr. The association
ordered copy of the report to be
sent to Judge Ferry, while another
copy was given to Attorney Carl
smith when the latter was in Honolulu
early this week.

designing. though persons then living
might have done So did facts Warrant.
There have been several descrip-
tioRs by yoyagers and writers OF the
Hawaiian flag, few among them all
agreeing in number of It's stripes or
eolors That there have been numer-
Gus changes is thereby evident and
the Beckley claim of priority which
would date back TO 1906 or 1897 might
be one of the variety shown by early
yoyagers prior TO the present flag OF
adams design in 1916, changed in
the order of stripes by Captain Hunt
of the BaseiisE in 1913. who is cred
tied also with assisting in the design
of the royal standard OF Kamehame-
ha III. This important alteration by
placing the white stripe at the top
instead of at the bottom. as it was,
was told the writer by Thomas Cum
Minis, well known early resident who
was fully cognizant of the events of
the time and is confirmed by Mrs.
+. Monsarrat from the close aeauaint-
ance with Captain Hunt in his init
macy in the Dowsett home during his
stay in the islands.
Respecting the attempt to discredit
the Adams claim, Mrs. Monsarrat
permits the use of her name as one
well aware of his right thereto, the
Dowsetts and Adams being adjoining
neighbors for many years, and there
fore resents in behalf of his descend
ants this injustice. Mr.. John Cook is
another with intimate knowledge from
Adams own lips of his rightful claim.
