Recommending that the superin-
iendent of public instructions, w. T.
Pope, be taken from office and that
the back salaries of the Misses Maud
and Eva Dawson, teachers who were
not reassigned to schools by the SUI
perintendent, be paid, and that Miss
Eta Davis, a discharged instructor,
be given suitable employment and be
paid her back salary, and that spec
ial hold-oyer committee of the senate
investigate thoroughly into school af-
iairs of the territory, the joint COM
mittee on education of both houses
handed in the report OF their inyesti-
cations late yesterday afternoon In
both houses the report was adopted
and ordered printed.
The discharge OF Superintendent
Pope may occur when the senate takes
up the confirmation Of the governors
recess appointments this week.
Though II has been rumored that
Principal Wood was to suffer the
game treatment by the committee as
superintendent Pope, the committee
passes him by with few unfayorable
comments on the Testimony he gave
before 1t.
The report in this connection says:
Miss Davis charges that PRINCIPAL
Wood is accustomed to act toward his
subordinate teachers in an arbitrary,
oppressive, rude, demineering, insin-
cere. and untruthful manner.
"Your committee attempted to get
evidence from Mr.. Wood but expert
enced great difficulty in so doing; he
did not seem to be able to give a
straight answer to a straight question
and impressed your committee with
the belief that he was constantly try
ing to evade and not give clear ans
wers to questions. Your committee is
willing to believe, however, that this
is due to temperament, and is lead
TO think that Mr.. Wood is habitually
evasive, even though he may, by his
peculiar manner give that impress
sion
The report goes into detail in the
school conditions generally. both as
10 the efficiency of the instructors
employed and the Instability of the
course OF studies pursued, The COM
mittee reported that il was not salts
fled with the text book arrangement
and cited one instance where the
course had been changed after the

Near the conclusion of the report
the committee states that il IS of the
opinion that 1T would be possible to
establish an academic department at
the College of Hawaii, the same TO in
clCde normal training course which
would be move in the right direc-
ton" .....
1t is in the closing section OF the
report that the removal of Superin-
tendent Pope is recommended, saying
that he is detriment to the depart
ment because of his arbitrary meth
DDS OF dealing with the instructions
given by the commissioners of public
instruction. and ignoring such instruc-
tons whenever he wishes TO do so"
The report is signed by the follow
ing: Chairman Penhallow and Mem
bers Makekau and Rice of the cenate
education committee; Chairman G.. HI.
Cooke and Members Kinslea. Spald-
ing. Paxson and Huddy Of the house
education committee. However, the
real work of investigation was dele

Paxson, Senator Penhallow and Rep
resentaiive Spalding, and these three
made the report
1t was stated this morning by a leg
islator in position to know that
Chairman Paxson wrote practically
the whole report. No public hearings
were held and the report was accept

ter of routine. Both houses were too
busy yesterday to consider it at any
length.

CURFEW MAY RING
TONIGHT, AFTER ALL

Whether the curfew shall ring to-
night, or whether it shall not, and
when it shall ring, and what age OF
children it shall affect, were ques-
tions decided by the senate this morn
ing.
Senator Metzger, aided by Senator
Coke, wished the present law amend
ed so as to make the o'clock curfew
law apply to children under the age
of ~ years, in place of Is years. Their
efforts were defeated.
The bill was introduced in the house
TO make it possible for children at
tending night schools to obtain per-
NIT to be on the streets after z
o'clock
The measure passed third reading.

WHARFAGE TAX
CAUSES TURMOIL

For an hour and q half the repre-
sentatiVes fought holly over the pro
priety Of leyying wharfage tax on
vessels which anchor in the stream
and convey their cargoes TO and from
the shore by lighter or barge. Natur-
ally, as is always the case when sub
jects CT this kind arise, charges
against the Inter-Island flew thick
and fast; the debate at times became
acrimonious and threatened to lead 10
personalities. .ss.
But the storm blew over without
wrecking any regulations or starting
any fisticuffs and house bill 3G9, con-
tanning clauses requiring the taxation
Of such vessels, was passed on third
reading. " "-..
: Kupihea started the trouble quite
innocently by introducing a group of
amendments to eliminate these tax
clauses. 1t was agreed that the
wharfage tax on ships tying up to
piers was all right, but he considered
it inadvisable TO tax ships who did
not make use of the wharves, even

Exchanges of "courtesies" were

warm that even the speaker intimated
he would like to take the floor; he
scented the smoke of battle, and
would like to get into the fray; but
he was badly needed as parliamentary
arbiter and could not relinquish the
job. AT one point he rebuked DIR. Ir-
win for his lack of courtesy toward
Representative G. p Cooke; the Hilo
doctor had called upon the Maui men,
Der to answer a question, and on re-
ceiving the answer, he bluntly told
Cooke ito sit down" III
Finding he could not swing the
house, Sheldon sought to defer action,
tut failed in that, and the vote was
finally taken 1t turned out that the

Corroborating the rumor that he
was considering filing an action in
the circuit court for the recovery of
$4,000 alleged to have been lost in a
recent poker game by prominent
local businessman, Judge A. s. Hum
phreys this morning stated that pros
poets are now bright that the matter
will be settled out of court. Judge
Humphreys, while refusing to divulge
either the names of his client or the
others who took part in the game,
stated that the wife of the man who
lost the $500 is the one on the fir
ing line and that it is she and not
the man himself who is insisting that
the money be refunded.
