The request is based on the state
ment that the wife of Judge Whitney
recently was offered the custodian
ship Of Richard Smart, the minor
whose interests are made the appar
ent bone Of contention between the
conflicting interests Of the father and
grandmother. Although Mrs. Whitney
was not given the custodianship the
argument is advanced that her hus-
band, the Judge, becomes thereby a
more or less interested party in the
litigation and consequently is disquali-
fed to sit in any further deliberations
on the case.

Inder the direction of Secretary Of
he Territory Thayer Two reasons
IRE given for the small tempest which
s stirring things up on the top floor
II the capitol. One is that Thayer's
hoice of election inspectors has
lroused opposition. A number Of To-
al grievances are said to have arisen.
ust how is not explained, but they
AVE all become focused in Honolulu
With the converting Of the legislature.
The other reason has to do with
House bill No 2. appropriating $4,000
or the entertainment of the expected
congressional party.
The Story Behind the Bill.
Back of the apparently ordinary
parliamentary progress of this bill
here is a story that house and SEN
tie members are discussing with
much interest.
Last week Democratic senators are
said to have had an intimation that
J he administration desired some exec.
tive participation in the expenditure
# this fund, because Of the import
Ince of the matter and precedents
hat the governor should have some
control of it. At any rate, on Satur-
lay, when the house bill was up in
he senate, Senator Metzger moved to
vision regarding the spending of the
'und the words with the approval OF
he governor" The amendment car
led, Democratic senators voting for
t. Some of them say they believed
he governor favored this plan.
The passage of the amendment is
said to have aroused Thayer's anger.
It is related that he told members of
he senate the amendment was a re-
lection upon him and his Office and
lad the aspect Of intimating that
heck must be put upon his handling
the FUNDS.
love to Change Bill
At any rate en- Tuesday Senator
rice arose and moved to delete the
clause making the governors consent
necessary to the spending of the
money. Two Democratic senators,
Writ and Coke, under the belief, 1t
s said, that they were backing the
governor and his wishes, at once op-
posed Rice's motion, and Riee's
was voted down. Prest'
dent Chillingworth then unofficially
called the attention of the senate to
the fact that a concurrent resolution
in the house proposes that four MEM
bers of each body, house and senate,
be named to cooperate with the sec
rotary in checking the funds expendi-
ture. The bill was then committed
to the judiciary committee. Yesterday
afternoon the Judiciary committee re-
ported favorab1y on. the amendment
and the bill was passed by the senate
with the amendment still attached.
