Account Was Illegal

ton asked me that there has been a
misuse Of public funds. I don't know
anything about any misuse of funds
but | do know that I propose to back
up the expenditure of $9S.55. / do not
know of any one in my end of the
business who has not spent pretty

Mr.. Forbes accounts out of my own

Thus declared Governor Pinkham
today while testifying in the injunc-
ton suit brought by Arthur A. Wild
er to prevent the payment OF $9S . in
Cured by Charles R. Forbes, superin.
tendent of pubic works, during his
recent trip to Washington, d. G. The
suit is one of four launched by Wilder
against the governor, Forbes and 9TH
er territorial officials, all seeking 10
prevent the payment of expenses.
Prior to the beginning of the trial
Circuit Judge Stuart denied a motion
to dissolve the temporary Injunction
and dismiss the case. He suggested
that all the suits be tried together,
but Attorney-general I. M. Stainback
stated that this would be impossible
The court then ruled that the cases
be tried separately.
The suit now on trial involves the
expenditure of 1855 for dinner to
senators and others in the national
capital. There was introduced in evil
dence a cablegram from the governor
to Forbes authorizing the latter to ex-
pend 800 in this respect.
Called to the witness stand, Forbes
testified he was Informed by the at
torney-generai's department that the
dinner bill could not be paid.
II said it would be all right" Forbes
testified, "and added that, If that was
the case, l would pay the bill out OF
my own pocket. am still of the opin-
ion that the bill will have to be paid
out of my own pocket" he added
Governor Pinkham was asked
whether he intended to have the 800,
mentioned in the cablegram, paid out
of the funds of the territory.
'1 object to that question because
1t is leading" said Governor Pinkham.
He added, however, Il authorized the
expenditure and expected it would be
paid out of the funds of the territory
for the benefit of Oahu and no one
else"
"Did you ever investigate into the
legality of the oill?' the governor was
asked.
"I did not" he answered. Il had
no data on which to make it. !"
The governor added that. since he
was informed that the bill was not IL
legal, he has paid no attention to it.
81 propose to pay it out of my own
pocket" he added. II do not propose
to see Mr.. Forbes pay it out of his
pocket"
Further hearing of the case was
to be had this afternoon. 1t is not
expected that Judge Stuart will hand
down a decision until the hearings OF
all four cases are finished. =.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Democfatlc
leaders in the House finally defeated
the efforts of Minority Leader Mann
to prevent the army bill from going

debate, paved the way for action in
the House.
The rule permitted one motion to

ton, declined to vote on the PROPOSE
ton and 1t was defeated, 24S to j.
All Big Army Men.
When the Senate ccnferees we're
announced there was much comment
on the fact that all big army mea
had been named.
Senator Hitchcock, second majority
member Of the Military Committee
and opposed TO large standing army,
was not on the list.
The conferees are Senators Cham
berlain, Peckham. Broussard. Dupont
and Warren and Representatives Hsy
Of Virginia, Dent OF Alabama and
Kent OF California.
Mann Renews Fight.

Mann had led the fight in the House
against sending the measure to con-
ference. He insisted upon having it
recommitted TO the Military Commit
tee. with instructions to strike out the
provision for q nitrate plant aud 20
insert the provisions of the Senate bin
for a 250.000 standing army and a
federal volunteer force.
During the discussion on the rule
today, Mann contended that a reg
ular army Of at least 250,000 woul..
be needed for first line defense, if
the country were drawn into war.
The nitrate plant proposal was at
tackled by Representatives Lenroct of
Wisconsin and Longworth of Ohio.

bill at the behest of the water power
lobby"
Representative Hay replied that the
conferees never would agree to this
provision, until ordered to do so by
the House. Prolonged applause fol-
lowed.
Kahn Not Recognized.
When an overwhelming majority
had sustained the rule, Representative
Kahn moved to recommit, and strike
out all the Senate amendments ex-
cept that relating to increasing the
army to 25O. 900.
simultaneously, r Represen tative
London OF New York, opposing mill
tary and naval increases, offered an
unqualified motion to recommit.

Representative London was the favor

inal House bill, while Representative
Kahn had not, threw Representative
Britten of Illinois, Republican, who
stood alone with London against the

motion to recommit.
The right TO make such motion,
Republican leaders contended, be-
longed by tradition to the minority.
