One does not look for literary men

other famous tailoring antiQuary was

With more than one unusual hitch
in the situation, with the large MAORI
ty of the department heads having
the senate's confirmation of their ap-
pointmenfs, which means that they
can hold Office for two years to come
at least; and with Mr.. Pinkham said
to be of no positive political cult, there

Upon being informed of the con-

ing by the Star-Bulletin from its
Washington correspondent stating That
senator friends of E. NJ Watson we're
indignant over the nomination of L. E.
Pinkham as governor, Mr.. Watson
made the following statement:
Il do not wish to say at this time
that l will urge that action be taken
in the senate against the confirmation
of the nomination of Mr.. Pfnkham.
But l certainly will not put a quietus
on any opposition. / feel now that 1t
is no longer an individual matter, and
should not let my particular wishes
rule. It seems to be it is now cues
ton of party Mr. Pinkham is not a
Democrat; he is Republican. This
afternoon / shall talk over the situa'
ton with friends and decide whether
or not to urge the fight in the senate.
If they feel that it is party matter,
one which is for the good of the Demo
Gratis that the confirmation of Mr..
Pinkham be resisted, and Democrat
made the governor of the islands in
place CT a Republican, then 1 will
probably 5e n a position to announce
my willingness to urge my friends in

CT Mr.. Pinkham."

FRENzIED FINANCE
In BANANA
BUSINESS

Sitting as a court, the banana
claims commission is holding its sec
ond session this afternoon and fifteen
claimants are before the court to pre-
sent testimony in support of their
claims for damages from the destruc-
ton of their banana trees.
The first session OF the banana
claims court was held yesterday aft
ernoon when fifteen claims were
passed on No decisions were an
nounced by the commission, as to
what awards will be made, nor will
any such announcements be made I'M
Gil the last of the hearings have been
had That the commission will not
permit exaggerated damage claims to
pass was made evident yesterday,
when they disputed the high value
placed on trees by some of the claim
ants, and one instance where they
found that a claimant for large sum
OF damages was not in possession OF
the property when the trees were de-
stroyed.
George Haaheo took the board by
surprise when he testified that he was
stockholder in Kalihi-kai company,
capitalized at $500, with monthly
profits of 5000. Chairman Rawlins
pleaded to be admitted into the BUSH
ness. Haaheo testified that the prop
erty of the company was injured as a
result of the order of the board of
health to cut banana trees.
The $4,000 which the commission
has to pay the claims of about 500
persons will not be literally handed
out. Il was shown yesterday. The.
commission is determined to get at
the real value of the trees destroyed,
rather than fictitious or concocted
value.

superintendent of Public Works
John w. Caldwell asked to be excus-
ed from making any statement, say.
ing that he wished to be kept in the
background in the matter. Mr.. Cald-
wells position is in little different
class than many of the others, as in
his case his appointment was not
made until after the legislature adj
jcurned. The same facts apply to the
superintendent Of public instruction,
Thomas H. Gibson. They remain UNI
confirmed and hence can be removed
at the will of the governor.
1t has been the custom. and re-
garded by some as the appropriate
thing, for tie designations of the de-
partment heads to be handed to the
new governor: but in this instance it
is to be doubted If the custom will
be upheld generally. Land Commits
sioner Tucker feels that he is emit,
tied to serve out his entire term. new
governor or not, as he was confirmed
by the senate. David L. Conkling, ter
ritorial treasurer. is in a different po-
sition. His present appointment was
made after the legislature adjourned
He says he does not know yet what
he will do.
Il wish to wait and make my deci-
sion later. 1t is necessary for the
senate to confirm Mr.. Pinkham's ap-
pointment, it is necessary for him to
take office; there are several things
for him to do before actually taking
Office. | will have plenty of time to
decide by then.
j. H. Fisher, the auditor of the ter
ritory, is certain of enc thing-and
that is that he will not say what he
is going to do or not going to do until
the time comes. In the case of At
torney General w. w. Thayer, he was
confirmed by the senate, and hence is
in the boat with the largest number
of the cabinet" What he will do, re-
sign or hold on, is not made known.
At present he is on Hawaii, in the
vicinity of the volcano, and is not ex-
pected back until the first part Of

1t is probaOie that all will wait un-
til the appointed governor takes office
and ascertain then his attitude toward
them. 1t seemed to be the general
opinion that Mr.. Pinkham will not
draw party lines and will not attempt
to GUST any of the department heads
at once. But that he will ask them to
continue in office and jude them solely
on their merits. Ducll course, it is
believed, would work out nicely. None
of the members of the cabinet" has
announced his unwillingness to serve
under him; on the contrary they allow
il TO be understood that they are quite
willing to work with Mr.. Pinkham and
hope that he feels the same way to-
ward them. + -, f..
