SENATOR BRONNS
BANKING BILL
OPPOSED

After hearing arguments of the
representatives of the banks and
trust companies Of Honolulu oppos-
ing the Brown Banking Biz, S. b. No.
10, the ways and means committee of
the senate postponed further discus
sion on the bill yesterday afternoon
until March -. -..,
At the invitation of the committee
the bank and trust company representa-
tives met in the senate chamber at 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The
postponement was made at the re-
quest of the representatives, who ex-
pressed their desire to have further
time TO present arguments in opposi-
ton TO S. BIS 20 and 81, which
form part of the proposed act
The banking bill seeks to destroy
tie common law lines drawn between
a bank and trust company, and ac-
cording 10 the provisions of this new
bill, it is said, bank could use trust
money for its banking business.
The bank and trust representatives
also argued yesterday that il the new
hin became law every bank would
be given the additional power OF a
trust company.
such a change in the present sys-
TEN is too radical and too dangerous"
asserted A. Lewis, Jr., in his argu-
ment before the committee. Our
present banking system has proven
highly successful. Not one bank fail
ure has been noted Complaints are
not being made by persons dealing
with a bank that our methods are in
efficient If complaints had been
made, the wisest procedure, it would
seem TO me, would be TO appoint a
commission to investigate conditions
and make report"
The other speakers who voiced
their opposition to the Brown banking
bill were w. o. Smith, Richard Trent
and f. l. Spalding.

NOTARY BAKER IS
UNDER SERIOUS
Charge

Sensational charges, which, II
proven, would be serious, are brought
against Notary Public John A. Baker
of Honolulu by Kali Halama of Wal
luku in a letter received at the al
torney generals office this morning.
Halama charges that Baker delayed
registering deed certifying a trans
fer of property, and that as result
Of this delay Bakers friend, ID. ka-
Teha, was able to secure title to
the property The attorney generals
office has taken UP thorough inves-
tigation of the case. Halama states
the case in this way:
While in Honolulu, Monday. Febru-
airy, got john A. Baker % take ac-
acknowledgement of deed from my
brother, S. Halana, an enlisted man
on the 5. S. Thetis, to myself. con-
yeying his interest in the property of
my sister, deceased After" Mr.. Baker
had gotten my brothers signature to
the instrument and had acknowledged
the same, asked him to give me the
deco. He put me Off lie again
assured me that he would have the
document properly filed. - Since
then | saw in the published record of
documents filed to be recorded that
my deed was not filed in the registry
of deeds as Mr.. Baker haG promised,
and that ne kept it back until Friday,
February 2S, and in the meantime a
friend of Mr.. Bakers, Mr.. ID. Kameha,
who had also been trying 20 get the
property, had gotten a deed purport-
ing to have been made by said s..
Halama. selling the same property in
terest to himself for $50. The prop
erty in question is fully worth $4,000.
and my brothers share is ole-nalf in
terest in same Mr. d. Kameha who
is to be benefited by the apparent
neglect of his friend. John Il Baker,
had been trying to get my brother to
sell his interest to him for some time
past.
''To judge by the circumstances, Mr..
Baker, a notary public, has done me
an irreparable wrong in holding back
my deed from the registry office,
thereby giving his friend, D. Kameha,
time to get up deed OF similar in
tent and to file it on registry ahead
of mine. which practically gives d.
Kameha the property

acres each, at least.
