SENATE TO Fight
GOV, PINKHAM'S
APPOINTMENTS?
|Rurnored Effort viii Be Made
to Refuse Approval for
Forbes and Others !.

:
With the arrival Of senators and rep.
resentatiyes from all parts Of the ISL
ands today to prepare for the opening
of the legislature next Wednesday, q
story is passing around that an ef-
fort is under way to block the con-
firmation by the senate of certain of
Governor Pinkham's appointments
One Of the new officials to whom the
story is applied particularly is Charles
r. Forbes. superintendent OF public
works and chairman ex officio of the
harbor commission.
One of the arguments said to be en-
ployed to gain the support Of the sen.
ators for this move is that the new
superintendent has been importing ma
lihinis for public works and harbor
jobs. This is based on the fact that
he brought from the coast q foreman
named Gregory, who had worked under
him for eight years and is said TO be
an expert wharf builder. Gregory at
present is foreman. Of the gang en-.
gagged In repairing the Kuhio bay pier
at Hilo. 1t is said, however. that this
is Forbes sole importation, . and that
the man was not brought here until
Forbes had presented the case to the
harbor commissioners and received
their approval. realizing, they said,
that the territory had need of an ex-
pert of this kind.
In general. however. it is thought
the governors appointments will en-.
counter little or no opposition by the
senate. That body will have q strong
Republican majority, but is expected
to recognize the fact that the governor
has not induiged in partisanship to the
impairment Of governmental efdcienc,
