TUCKER MAY NOT
BE KEPT ON JOB;
GOVERNORS
Leading Question, He Says
When Asked About Rumor of
Commissioners Dismissal

Is Joshua d. Tucker, territorial
commissioner of public lands, to be
discharged from office before his
term expires on March g? A persist
ent rumor of such action on the gov
ernor's part was afloat at the Capitol
today, but could not be verified.
That is leading question" was
the governors response when asked
as to the truth of the report" and |
decline to answer leading questions. :
The governor added that the smart
est lawyer in the United States had
once tried to get him to answer a
leading question, but had failed.
fuckers term expires on March 8,
and II is not the belief of territorial
employees in the Capitol that he will
be discharged before that time. They
think that he will be kept in office
for another term by the governor, and
scout the idea of any dismissal.
Commissioner Tucker has not been
in the best of health for some time,
hut it is not believed that he has ten
dered his resignation on account OF
this. @.-. .:.> -.
Tucker is said to have a great many
warm friends among the higher-ups
who will fight against any effort made
to dismiss him from office.

Perhaps one of the most eagerly
awaited decisions to be handed down
in the local circuit court in several
years is that which is expected from
Circuit Judge Stuart at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning, which will either
sustain or set aside the injunction

against the Honolulu Rapid Transit

1t is understood that the decision is
ready, and that it comprises about Is

that IL doubtless will be forthcoming

the side losing the case in the lower
court will appeal to the supreme court.

II is estimated that several thousand
people, mostly foreigners with chill
dren born here since the abandon
ment of the certificates, are waiting
to get proper record made of these
births
Because of the fact that the fed
eral bureau of labor utterly refuses
to pay any attention to these terri
torial certificates, I abandoned the
plan of issuing them" said Mf. Thayer
today. "and for a year and a half
have been endeavoring to bring about
some understanding with the depart
ment whereby the certificates would
have some value to holders upon going
from here to the mainland"
So far Thayer has received no word
that any more consideration will be
given the certificates in the future
than in the past, except letter from
the secretary of the interior saying
that the labor department is giving
the request consideration.
Feeling that the territory could not
wait longer in the matter, have gone
ahead and decided to resume the GER
tificate plan," says Mr.. Thayer, "but
have changed it considerably from the
old system.
"One of the changes is to allow a
renewal of certificates every five years
if so desired by the holder This is to
allow for the taking of new photo
graphs of the holder"
Renewal will not be required of per-
sons, it will be allowed them as a
privilege, though a fee of S. will be
charged for each renewed certificate.
The secretary of the territory is given
authority to make the issue by ter.
ritorial statute.
