SHIPLEY LECTURE
DRAWS PACKED HOUSE
AT SYLVANA

Standing room only was the order
of the day at Sylvana last Saturday
evening, when comrade Maynard Ship
ley gave the second in his series of il
Illustrated lectures on Evolution.
The lecturers special topic was the
origin of the earth and the evolution
of life thereon. By means of numer-
Gus stereopticon views comrade Ship
ley showed in a most lucid and in
teresting manner how the countless
vegetable and animal forms which in
habit the earth were evolved out of
the lowest microscopic life, and only
gradually developed into higher and
more complex forms through count
less cons of geological time.
The lecture was followed with in
tense interest by the large audience.
Expressions of appreciation were
heard on every hand, and arrange
ments have been made to have com
rade Shipley give his third lecture of
the series early in January.

WONDERS OF THE HEAVENS
ARE EXHIBITED AT
MAXWELTON

Thanks to the enterprise of hand
full of active Socialists in the vicinity
of Maxwelton, Island county, comrade
Shipley was induced to give his beau
tifully illustrated wonders of the
Heavens" at Maxwelton last Friday
evening. 1t was an intellectual treat
not soon to be forgotten by those for
tunate enough to be present.
Owing to a church entertainment
which was given the same evening,
not as large a number attended as
was hoped for. But the hall was,
comfortably filled, and
all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the
lecture, which was certainly revela-
ton to all present.
We have arranged with comrade
Shipley for the entire course of six
lectures, and the hall will no doubt
be packed to the doors when he comes
again. JOHN PARSONS.

SENATE
Seventeenth Day

A new complication may result in
the senate from the death of Senator
Hewitt, anu until the attitude of the
members who have been appointed
to fill his place on the two committees
is known. there is likely to be some
.uneasineSs felt. -. ...
Though the appointments made by
President Knudsen this morning seem
ed to meet with the approval of the
solons, it has been often established
that a committeeman may have some
very determined opinions on q1es-
fions, despite MS politieai ALLEGIANCE.
Senator Penhallow goes on the &C
counts committee, and he is also made
the chairman of the manufacturers
committee, while Senator Makekau is
appointed to fill Hewitt's vacancy in
that body. Then Senator Rice is put
on the public lands committee.
What may result from this commit
tee shifting is of course only speculat-
I'VE. and the word of several senators
is given that the proceedings will be
as peaceful as ever.

the measure The first is that 1t linn.
its the amount OF an employers liabil-
ity for personal injuries received BY
his employee while engaged in the
performance of his work, and the sec
ing is that the old common law techni-
calities, which have been stumbling
block for many plaintiffs in personal
injury actions, are done away with.
for the act fixes a definite amount to
be received by an injured employee,
depending upon the nature OF his in
jury and computed on the basis of his
earning capacity.
Chief of the techniealities which
have been thrown in the way of an in
lured employe is perhaps the con
tributory negligence" defense. That
is to say. when the defendant Is able
to establish that it was partially due
to the negligence of the Plaintiff that
the accident occurred. the likelihood of
the employee recovering damages be-
comes very meager.

gether with the many o.aer teehni-
calities, the employee will find a speedy
and adequate relief, the sponsors for

where a similar measure has been
made law, it has proved highly sat

introduced in the legislature, both of
which are house bills and have not

GET FACTS ABOUT
kALAKlELA'
FEES

The atmosphere surrounding the
Kalakela banana claims charges was
somewhat clarified late yesterday .af-
ternoon by the last three witnesses of
the day called before the house judici-
airy committee. These were Mrs. Piltz,
wife of ships captain, who had
filed her claim with Kaiakiela and
paid him 50 therefor: Togo Kawa, a
Japanese runner" and N. X. Pukui,
a Hawaiian runner"
Mrs. Piltz testified, I'M substance,
that she went to Kalakiela's office in
response to the advertisement he had
inserted in the newspapers; that she
hads paid him 1915 cents of this
amount going TO Mrs. Kalakiela as
notary and the remainder. to the
Democratic legislator for his work in
preparing the FORM Of. the claim and
listing 1t. She said he ha dmade no
promise that her claim would be ac-
cepted or paid by the legislature.
Another charge against Kalakiela,
which the committee was seeking to
investigate was that he had accepted
certain claims, especially from Japan
csc, on the basis of a percentage pro-
vided their lists were approved and
paid.
On this point Togo sKawa, though
an unwilling and apparently some-
what frightened witness, lent some
light. He declared he had gone out
among his countrymen and solicited
their claims, working for himself in
dependently, and asking that each
claimant pay him something in case
the amount asked was paid. He said
each paid him small amount, rang
ing from % cents to 81, at that time.
He took these lists to Kalakiela, who
filed them.
He declared he was not working for
Kalakiela, but for himself, for what he
could make from the claimants in act
ing as their runner. He said Kalaki-
ella made him no promises nor exact
ed any.
N. K Pukui told virtually the same
story He had carried all the lists he
could obtain from Hawaiians, to the
Democratic representative, paying
KalakieIa 81 each to get them en-
rolled. In this case, however, the
runner" declared openly he had de-
manded 25 per cent from each prop
erty-owner in case the claim was
eventually paid. He had even re-
quired the property-owners to sign an
agreement to this effect, and though
he had none of these -agreemnts with
him yesterday, promised to produce
them before the committee this after
room. He asserted that he, like Kawa,
was working INDEPENDENTLY and not
rnder orders from Kalakiela.
Kawa and Pukui are to appear be-
fore the committee again this after
noon with documentary evidence sup
these statements.

Senator Wirtz'S Measure At
tracts Attention and Gets
Much Support

The sentiment of the people will be
listened TO this afternoon by the Judi,
ciary committee of the senate on the
proposed employers liability statute.
Though having gone into the provi-
sions of the bill thoroughly, and be-
ing strongly in favor of its passage,
the committee decided to first hear
outside opinion before reporting on
the measure.
The meeting will be held IN the sen.
ate chamber at 8 o'clock. and all hay-
ing an interest in the bill, one way or
another, are urged to be ON hand.
S. B. No. 10, as it is known. being
direct departure from the old com.
mon law liability acts, has had so far
c rather slow progress through the
senate, which is due to the close
scrutiny, it has received by commit
tee members and others.
IL the sense of the meeting this af.
ternoon is shown to be in favor of
the act, it is likely that the judiciary
committee will report it back to the
senate with favorable recommends
tions.
The bill is drafted along the lines
Of modern legislation, and much of 1t
has been taken from the model act
framed by the uniform legislation
league, which has sprung into life dur
ing the past few years and is dedicat-
ed to the interests of uniform legisla-
ton suited to present neecs..
