WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 8.
President Wilson would like such dis
cretion as would permit the appoint.
ment Of governor for Hawaii from
the mainland. A change in the. or.
ganic law, making selection of that
character legal and possible, would
meet the hearty approval of the chief
executive.
Up to this time the president has
not announced an intention Of seek
ing remedial legislation during the
extraordinary session of congress,
now in progress II is known that he
does not like restrictions and limita.
tions. He may find it desirable to
urge change in the organic act un-
der which he could select a governor
from the. states and send him to Ha-
waii This would not become neces-
sary II the Democrats can reach some
agreement under which is good man
is harmoniously recommended for the
governorship
President Wilson Is strong adyo-
cate of employing experts in all lines
of activity. He would like to send a
man to Hawaii who Is fully equipped
IN al matters pertaining to the land
laws. irrigation and immigration, and
ether features Of local interest. In his
opinion such a governor would be en-
tirely free from personal bias and in
8 position to impartially administer
all branches Of the territorial govern
ment.
The views OF the president regard
ing Hawaii are precisely the same as
those relating to the district of Co
lumbia. The law requires that com
missioners must be citizens and resi-
dents Of the district. After carefully
inspecting the field of applicants Mr..
Wilson made it known that he sought
experts and none of those seeking the
places came under that classification.
He said IL would be preferable to re.
peal the law and give him -authority
to make selections from outside the
city OF Washington. But he will make
a determined effort to find suitable
men here before he will ask Congress
10 amend the statute. The same will
be true of Hawaii.
Beyond the desire of the president
to have greater latitude in choosing n
governor OF Hawaii there has been no
material change in the situation. II
is figured that within brief period
now the president will take up ap.
pointments in Hawaii and clean the
slate soTfar as he is concerned.
B. G. Rivenburgh has held further
conferences with President Wilson.
He advanced additional reasons why
Gilbert J. Waller should be given the
governorship.

COURT FURNITURE
DISGRACE, SAYS
ROBERTSON

Declaring that the furnishings of
the supreme court chambers are so
dilapidated and serviee-worn as to
scarcely be fit for the corridor of a
police station, Chief Justice Robert
son this afternoon in an interview with
representative of the Star-Bulletin
pointed out the necessity of an appro.
priation from the legislature for. the
purchase of furnishing the chambers
in a way commensurate with the dig
nifty of the highest court in the terri
tory.
The desks and chairs in the court
room as we'll as in my office and in
the offices of the other justices are
so worm-eaten and stained as to be
absolutely disreputable, the chief jus.
tice said. The stand upon which the
court clerk has his desk is Unmatched
and made of plain pine, dabbed with
pale. yellow stain of some sort. The
curtain in front of the bench has
been in service ever since / have been
