EARLY REMARRIAGE

What sort of widows and widowers

According to Judge W. L. Whitney.
who appeared before the senate judi
ciary committee today on request to
discuss Senator Pacheco's marriage

from their companions by death are
more likely to remarry than those
separated by a divorce decree.
Judge Whitney based his con.
clusions on statistics gathered in the
mainland as well as in Hawaii.
Senator Pacheeo expressed the
opinion yesterday at the committee
meeting that the present divorce laws
encourage quick remarrying, especial

NEEDS AT HOME ARE SET FORTH in NEW LEGISLATION
shaved
SENATE BILL

Less BY 81, 1877 ,637 than the estimate
submitted by Gov. Pinkham in his
message to the legislature, the ap-
preparation bill introduced yesterday
afternoon by Senator Single viii be
taken up for study by the upper house
members. The reduction was made by
looping off from the first estimate
submitted by the governor for the two
year period. ... Z y. T.
In the National Guard estimate there
is reduction of some S25. 900; attor-
Eey-general's department, $500; nub-
lie work, $500; board of health, near
ly 100000. IL Il" 30
One of the big cuts in the budget
set forth in the senate bill as reported
is the elimination of $238, 500 for ar
mories. Already there are pending
several bills for special appropriations
for armories, especially on the Big
Island and the fate OF these bills re.
mains to be seen. .... =. s
In guard salaries the estimate for.
the salary Of the assistant to adjutant
general Of the militia is sliced $1,000
from the $4,000 which was asked. A
similar amount is cut from the salary
of the assistant to the property officer.
Other reductions are smaller. For Of
ficers and enlisted men there Is a cut
of % per cent from the $64, 400 asked.
The biggest cut comes in the APP
preparations sought for the health de-
partment Here $150, 900 sought for
new buildings is eliminated and there
is $4,000 cut from the figures asked
for the prevention and cure of tuber-
culosis.
Salary increases sought go by the
board to great extent, cost of living
not entering into consideration when
compared with decreasing cost of gov

one authorized by the governor. Cuts

Clause IS HELD
TO Menace new
WORKMENSLAW
Amending Bill Threatens Con.
stitutionality. Say Attor-
neys Studying 1t T..

House Bill SO, amending the work
mems compensation law, has ~ least
one big objection and several minor
cnes from a legal standpoint. in the
opinion of attorneys who have been
studying the bin since il was intro
-dueed February q by Representative
Marquee of Oahu. ~. .:..,s..
The big objection is that it contains
a provision which, say several at
torneys, will knock the whole law our
as unconstitutional. This is Section
s., which amends Section 50 of the
compensation law. The effect of the
amendment is to bar appeals on ques-
tlons of fact and allow them only on
questions of law, according to the in.
terpretatiq0 now placed upon it.
The amendatory section now reads:
The findings of fact made by the
board acting within its powers, shall,
in the absence of fraud, be final and
conclusive between the parties, except
as provided in Section 81, but the SUI
preme court shall have power to re
view questions of law involved in any
final decision or determination of said
board by eertiorari, mandamus or by
any other method permissible under
the rules and practise of said court OF
the laws of this territory, and to make
such further orders in respect thereto
as justice may require, provided that
application is made BY the aggrieved
party within ten days after a copy OF
the decision or award of the board has
been sent TO the parties. In no case,
however, shall such an appeal operate
as supersedeas or stay unless the
board of the supreme court shall so
order.
Section 81, referred to above, does
not provide for court appeal on ques-
tons of fact, but merely review by
the board itself under certain condi
tions.
Attorneys say that the amending
section takes away the right of trial
by jury and that 1t Is plainly uncon-
stitutional.
Inasmuch as the bill vitality affects
many large corporations, including the
sugar plantations, the new bill is be.
ing closely scrutinized by legal ex.
perts. Other objections. none particu-
larry serious. are being tentatively
voiced and if there is a public hearing
are likely to come out. Insurance
companies are also actively interested
in the amendments and the course OF
the compensation legislation is being
as closely, probably, as any
measure now before the territorial
solons.

Service troubles of the Island Elec-

Blair asserted that it would be a
physical impossibility to get addition

fore September /, when the company's

way expires
The superintendent testified that
the freight tieup at the coast last sum-
mer delayed the plants complete
equipment from arriving until last
December. This was a factor making
for poor service. He admitted under
questioning from Acting Chairman
Gignuux that the Kahului Railway
might not renew it's contract and that
he is now cansassing for more power
business to take its place.
The Kahului Railway uses the
plants entire daytime output. Blair
said. He said the claims OF Will ].

are exaggerated. Cooper's letter to
