permanent base, according to the as
surances of Congressman Fred A. Brit

affairs committee, on the floor OF the

day.
Following an informal talk by Mr..
Britten, Congressman Geo. w. Ed
nonds OF Pennsylvania, a member of
the house committee on merchant ma
rfne, urged the subsidizing of the
American marine, especially on the
Pacific. He cited the rapid growth

through subsidizing of the American
merchant marine Hawaii would devel-
op into one Of the largest commercial
eenters of the world. :.

er H. L. .Holstein and spoke on inyi.
tatien of the house leader. Britten

that politics played small part in the
house of Representatives in Hawaii
and he congratulated the members.
He told the Representatives that the
appropriation for naval construction.
this last session was s150, 900 900, but
that as a member Of the committee on
naval affairs he said that he would
like to see that appropriation doubled.
This appropriation" he said, will
supply the regular quota of two battle
ships and about Is submarines, eight
of which will be 0f the sea-going type.
0ne-half OF these submarines are to
be on the Pacific coast and sincerely
hope and viii urge that Hawaii get
several Of them These islands
should get a battleship fleet as we'll.
If we ever have war / am confident
that it will be with Pacific nation
and not with q European power, and
for that reason Hawaii should be
made the Gibraltar of the Pacific"
Congressman Edmonds gave short
talk and at the conclusion Represen.
tative Rawlins arose on behalf of the
house and extended the thanks of the
legislature to the visitors. He urged
fortifying the islands and related the
strategical Importance In the event
Of war. Delegate Kuhio was present.
The congressman are touring the

themselves with naval affairs and mer-
chant marine conditions before the

GUILTY IS Plea !: !. !. :.
OF TWO Nl0Ll we'd.
in OP|UMCAsES
Bower and McGrath to Be Sem
;" tenced-Boggs Is III and
Unable to Appear

Geo. A. Bower and John }. McGrath
pleaded guilty Defore Circit Judge
Ashford this morning to second-degree
robbery. They will not be sentenced
until SaturGaJ, April "a. BY that time
the case of their companion, Paul H
Boggs, may be disposed of: The pro-
nouncement OF sentence may be post
poned still furtheE however, in the
event the supreme court has not hand
ed down it's decision on the question
of the validity of the indeterminate
sentence statute, which Judge Ash
fol d maintains is unconstitutional.
Meantime the defendants are re
manded to Jail, without bond The
court, supported by the objection o4
City and County Attorney Cathcart,
refused to renew t;Ie bond fixed after
the three had been arrested on the In
dietment, but this proves no unusual
hardship, as none of them was able to
get bail and they have been in jail
ever since the heavy bond was set.
This is the case in which Scully,
Boggs, McGrath and Bower we're in
dicted for firstdegree robbery and In
which Scully is believed to have turn
ed states evidence. When the case
was called for trial today Boggs did
not appear in court. Attorney Straus,
couhsei for the trio, presented a GER
tificate from DR.. H. v. Murray stating
that Boggs is a victim of seiatic rheu.
matism and in such pain that he Is
unfit mentally and physically to un-
dergo the strain of a court hearing.
The court accepted the certificate
and continued Boggs' case until next
Saturday, at which time Boggs or his
physician must attend. If Boggs is
not present the physician must be, pre-.
pared to make under oath statement
concerning the prisoners condition.
Judge Ashford asked Attorney
Straus if he could give an intimation
whether Boggs would desire to stand
trial or would likely plead to lesser
charge than that named in the indict-
ment, as Bower and McGrath have
done, but the lawyer said he, could not
speak for Boggs yet. He stated that
the prisoner is suffering excruciating
pain. SO severe that he IS incapable of
discussing the subject intelligently.
He tried to talk with Boggs yester.
day, he said, but found the man in.
coherent in speech.
1t is regarded as likely the cases
of the three can be settled by Sat.
urday. April "a, unless Boggs is still
in bad condition. The supreme
courts opinion on the question Of the
indeterminate sentence act is antiei.
pated within a day or two, at the
latest. .-. .=.... 70 81. ,s.e..s
