SECRET SESSION
OF SENATE ON
APPOINTMENTS
New Rule Urged by Upper
House Committee Would
Hamper Confirmation

The senate went into executive ses-
sion at 2 O'Clock this afternoon 10 con-
slider confirmation Of he governor
appointments. Discussion was EXPECT
ed TO continue until late hour with
the possibility that the business on
hand will not be completed today.
The senate rules committee this
morning prepared Joker" that
threatens serious difficulty in obtain
ing the desired combinations. The
Joker" is a new provision in the 1915
rules, recommended by the committee,
that a majority of the senate be re-
quired to vote favorably before an ap-
pointment can be declared confirmed.
Its effect is that at least eight men,
bers must vote favorably and that the
seven Democrats must not only vote
solidly but win over one of the Re-
publican senators if any Of the gov
ernor's appointments are to be con-
firmed. H..
There has been no written rule as
to the majority required on confirma-
tons, although the established unwrit-
ten rule has demanded only a majority
of a quorum. : g.. . 49,
In recommending the adoption Of
the rules of the 1913 session as those
of the 1915 session the committee
makes another revision, intended to
further simplify business in the high
er legislative branch. 1t advises strik-
ing out the rule requiring days adj
vance notice for the introduction Of
a bill. This rule has been a needless
and seldom-used form. In practise a
desiring to introduce new
measure would give his. notice and
then move that the rules be suspend
ed and the bill given it's first read

new MOVE MADE MRS. KNIGHTS
LAWYERS CHANGES CASES ASPECT

without ever a thought as to what was
best for the child"
Mrs. knights counsel injected a
new feature into the fight over the
Thelma Parker Smart will by filing
late yesterday suggestion" and. re
cusation transfer of cause" asking
that the hearing OF the Smart guard
ianship and will contest be transfer
red from the division OF Circuit Judge
w. l. Whitney TO that OF Judge Thorn
as B. Stuart
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.
This portion of the document filed
yesterday saws:
- that on or about the fourth
day Of February, A. d. 1915, without
the knowledge or consent of your petit
TONERS, or either Of them, the wife OF
the Hon. w. l. Whitney was offered
by the said Henry Gaillard Smart his
nomination for the custodianship of
said Richard Smart, said custodian
ship to continue for long term Of
years, to wit, until said minor became
16 years of age, and that said Mrs.
w. L. Whitney then and thereupon &C
cepted said nomination, with the
knowledge and consent Of said Hob.
w. L. Whitney and that in and by
said nomination and selection for Gus
todian the said Mrs. w. l. Whitney
acquired an appointment OF monetary
and other profit, subject only TO be
defeated by refusal of said Elizabeth
j. knight to consent thereto and the
failure of said court to ratffy and con-
firm said nomination.
Wherefore petitioners charge that
the said Hon. w. L. Whitney became
disqualified by law from taking judi
cial action and deprit I'd Of all juris-
diction herein and any and all of said
pending before him as
aforesaid. .

weakness between boards is attributed
to the slight decrease in sugar report

Circuit Judge Whitney to Hear
Argument on Suggestion
of disqualification"

Circuit Judge Whitney will hear az
g1lment next Tuesday afternoon at
O'Clock on the question whether he has
been disqualified to sit in judgment
on the merits OF the Thelma Parker
Smart will case. Arguments will be
presented by counsel for Mrs. Eliza
beth J. knight and for Henry Gaillard
Smart, the antagonistic parties.
This Is the next step in the famous
piece OF litigation over the huge es.
tate left by the young Mrs. Smart and
over the guardianship and share to be
given her child, Richard Smart
The discussion arises from the "sug,
gestion Of disqualification" filed by
Mrs. knights attorneys late yester-
day and, while il is the last paper
filed to date, II must be given prece-
dence over all other details of the
controversy, Since the third will OF
Mrs. Smart Is set for probate by Judge
Whitney on March 10. and the guard
fanship Of the child must be determin-
ed before that date, early action will
be required on the question Of Judge
Whftney's qualification.
Disposition Of Child Criticized. .
I'VE noticed in yesterdays paper"
said one of Mrs. knights attorneys
this morning, the claim Of Mr..
Smart's attorneys that Richard Smart
had to be sent back yesterday to
Kona so that Mrs. Lemon and he
would be back to Waimea on the re-
turn day In the Kona suit and that
they were restrained by Judge Mat
thewman's order from interfering with
the child's disposition during its visit
in Honolulu. We fail to see that this
was a reason for refusing to grant our
request to join IN securing an extern
sion OF the visit. Mr.. Smart's attor-.
neys were asked to join In a wireless
10 the Judge at Kona asking for a.
weeks extension Of Mrs. Lemons stay
in Honolulu; II allowed the Judge
would merely extend the time allow
ed for the visit and also the date Of
the return day, which he could do in
minute where both parties were
agreeable, but in the absence OF such
Joint agreement IL was impossible for
us to secure the extension without q
hearing and notice, which of course
was impracticable under the c1rcnm-
stances.
Child Rushed Hack..
at was in reply TO this request for
q joint wireless that Mr.. Thompson
said In substance on the phone. that
he declined to answer until our offer
of compromise due an hour or two
thereafter was delivered. II the child

for Mr. Thompson not saying SO att
the time, and no reason at any time
or under any circumstances why visits |
to the child should be used as q lever

tory Thayer. Two reasons are given
for the small tempest which Is stirring
things up on the top floor of the CAPT,
toll. One Is that Thayer's choice OF
election inspectors has aroused oppo-
sition. A, number Of local grievances
are said to have arisen. Just how is
not explained, but they have all be,
come. focused In Honolulu with the
ecnvening of the legislature.
The other reason has to do with
House bill No. 2, appropriating $4,000
for the entertainment of the expected
congressional party.
The Story Behind the Bill.
Back of the apparently ordinary
parliamentary progress Of this bill
there is a story that house and sen
ate members are discussing with
much interest.
F. Last week Democratic senators are
said to have had an intimation that
the administration desired some exec
utive participation in the expenditure
of this fund, because of the import
anee of the matter and precedents
that the governor should have some
control of it. At any rate, on Satur-
day, when the house bill was up In
the senate, Senator Metzger moved to
amend the bill by adding to the pro-
vision regarding the spending Of the
fund the words with the approval OF
the governor" The amendment car
ried, Democratic senators voting for
1t. Some Of them say they believed
the governor favored this plan. ...s
The passage of the amendment is
said to have aroused Thayer's anger.
1t is related that he told members of
the senate the amendment was a re-
fiection upon him and his office and
had the aspect of intimating that a
check must be put upon his handling
Of the funds.
Move to Change Bill. ~ ~s
At; any rate en- Tuesday Senator
Rice arose and rleyed to delete the
clause making the governors consent
necessary to the spending of the
money. Two Democratic senators,
Writ and Coke, under the belief, it
is said, that they were backing the
governor and his wishes, at once op-
posed Riee's motion, and Rice's
amendment was voted down. Presi.
dent Chillingworth then unofficially
called the attention of the senate to
the fact that 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 fayorably on the amendment
and the bin was passed by the senate
with the amendment still attached.
II is up for action in the house this
afternoon and the house is expected
to concur. IA ~ ..%
The objection of Thayer to the bill
is said to have stirred up some oppo-
sitton in the senate, but whether this
win affect confirmation no senator
would definitely predict this morning.
