Il have already started on the law
involved and wifi get into the facts
as fast as / can. ....... .........-s
Congress- Acts. g..
For the last 10 years Congress has
passed a series of acts commonly
known as the Corrupt Practise Acts,
their purpose being to try to remove
certain corrupt Influences from our
elections. The provisions for the pub
licity of campaign contributions
first. only after elections, and later
both before and after elections-are
in this same general line and are in.
tended to serve the same purpose.
In spite of the law there may re-
main the desire of corporations to
help in the campaigns. They may
want to Use the corporations money
for this purpose and may seek to do it
through this alleged salary system. >:
Attorney Huber adds that If it Is
shown that Hawaiian corporations
have voted these alleged new or add
uonal salaries. and that contributions
have been made. in an attempt to
evade the statute, it could hardly be
held as a defense.
IL this is being done by corpora
tons, l think they are liable" he con-
cludes. Il do not know whether any
contributions have been yet made.
But 1 understand that the plans have
all been worked out and are about
to be adonted by certain corporations.
That Is the way the information
comes to me-,
Attorney Huber explains that no
one has as yet filed a complaint
against any specific corporation or
corporations; that is, there is no COM
plant at hand upon which an arrest
might be based.

Rev. Laughton summed up the situa-

standpoint that is taken by the ultra
pacifists and the jlngoes. He urged
all those who have the love of their
country at heart to work for the best
interests of the National Guard.

the public utilities commission regard

plant made by DIR. j. H. Raymond

gers were carried TO the steamship

Letter Raps Commission.
Furthermore the company takes OPP
p0ftunity 10 rap the commission
sharply for holding purported hear
ing CT q case without having given
reasonable" notice In writing OF the
date and place fixed BY the commits
siou.
In concluding the letter the steam.
ship company gives Capt. Sime-son's
denial that he had any knowledge of
a meeting being held on board the
Kilauea, the captain declaring that he
did not know anything was being in
vestigated"
Captain Not Informed.
Capt. Simerson is emphatic in his
statement that he had no knowledge
whatever that your commission was
holding or held at any time on the
morning Of May % q meeting on
board the Kilauea," says the letter.
He did not know that anything
was being investigated. During the
course OF what he considered casual
conversation with Mr.. Forbes, Mr..
Forbes asked him some questions and
these questions ne answered in a
casual manner"
The company states that this has
been called Sworn statement" TO
the commission, and declares that the
matter should be called to the atten.
fion Of the public utilities chairman.
As to DR.. Raymond's complaint that
there were more passengers carried
in one boat from LAhaina landing
than should have been, the Inter
Island people say, In part:
Records Are Quoted.
The records OF the Kilauea show
that 80 passengers embarked on the
steamer Kilauea at Lahaina on the

formation that we have been able to

barked on the steamer on the night

Of the boat and the officers Of the

pany finds, against the protests OF
the crew and the Information that
only freight was to 90 In the first
boats.
Exageerations Are Claimed.
As to the purported delay in time,
the company finds that the boat stay.
ed off port one hour and six minutes
and that the entire wait the passen.
gers underwent could not have been
more than SO minutes. The statement
tothe effect that Mr.. Scott was mad"
Is said to be entirely unwarranted
With the letter is one TO Forbes
from Capt. John X. Bulger, federal
Inspector, who points out that the
crowding probably resulted from the
eagerness OF the passengers TO get
into the boat. rather than through any
fault OF the company.
Rules Carefully obeyed.
"As to having an officer in charge
of lifeboat embarking or disembark.
ing passengers, the same is not neces-
sary," continues Bulger. when in
charge of an able seaman"
Eulger then quotes from the Sea.
mems Act, that all lifeboats on board
OF a vessel shall either be in charge
OF a licensed officer or an able sea-
man" He states that he sees no rea.

Kilauea's officers. Forbes letter from
Bulger Is dated May &c.
