say as to who their chief executive
may be.
Mr.. Kalanianaole said:
in the next congress am going to
work hard along the lines of home
rule. One of the first bills which I
shall introduce, and for which l shall
ask speedy hearing before the Com
Dlittee on Territories, is a bill which
will give to the electorate of Hawaii
the right to choose its governor. With
the trend of opinion in congress to-
wards home rule, l am hopeful that a
bill of this nature will be successful.
Should it be, it will be a preliminary
step toward statehood.
Whenever any matter comes up in
congress concerning Hawaii, whether
ii deals with the subject of disposition
OF the public lands, with the selection
of governor, or even with prohibition,
snail strenuouSly insist, both before
tie committee and on the floor of the
house. that in matter of this nature
the power of control should be vested
in the people of the territory.
de do not here want a commission
form of government. We do not here
want matters in which we are vitality
interested left solely subject to con-
troll by congress. We have plenty Of
questions of vital interest to US, but
we are able to work out our own sal
walton better than congress is able to
do it for us.
"On the home rule proposition, even
including the selection of governor,
both parties have decisive planks, and
| shall feel no hesitation in making
my appeal"

Mil wee. acting upon authority of sec ton 2S62 which provides that "when defendant is held to answer on charge of misdemeanor for which the person injured by the act constltut- ing the crime has n remedy by a civ il action. the crime may be compound- ed as provided in section 1868.
 The latter section says that if the court secures information that the injured has received satisfaction for the injury, the court may in its d!s- cretlon. on payment of costs and ex- penses incurred. order al further proceedings to bo stayed.
