DELEGATION NOT
| UNIT ON CHARTER

No radical amendments TO the city
charter bill in the legislature have
thus far been made By the members
of the Oahu delegation OF the house,
to which the measure has been re
ferred.
Al meeting OF the delegation yes
terday afternoon the first 81 sections
OF the charter were discussed one by
one and. with a few exceptions, were
passed These exceptions. however
were not opposed nor did the delega.
ton slide over them because il does
not approve or favor them.
One of those passed up refers TO city
officers and provides for the selection
OF six supervisors at large. Decision
on this section vas deferred until a
later date, when more time can be
given the question. Il is likely that
the 0ahu delegation of the senate
will be invited to take part in the
discussion on this particular section.
In this connection there is also to
be considered an amendment proposed
by the chamber OF commerce which
provides for the election of six super
NlSOtSs lllicC lIOii Tire lOhI III Sihu tHtCC
from the fifth, and the election Of the
mayor at large.
II Is reported in house circles that
the Oahu delegation may split on the
question at the election OF supervisors,
some favoring the plan as provided in
the bill, and others the plan in the
charter amendment. Just how the
Democrats are lining up on the ques,
tion is not known, but it Is conceded
by some that the Republicans win adj.
here to the bills provisions. -.
A compromise is said to be under
way whereby six supervisors will he
elected at large, as we'll as the
mayor. In addition to this it is re-
ported the mayor will be given the
power to appoint the superintendent of
city works with the approval of the
supervisors, and that new office,
that of chief of police, will be created,
this officer also to be appointed by the
mayor. The creation of this office
would take from the hands of the
sheriff the control of the police de.
partment, making the sheriff merely
a civil. officer.
The Oahu delegation of the house
has gone through the charter bill as
far as the section relating to the re-
call. Another public meeting was
to be held at o'clock this afternoon.

Committee ACTS
ONNEW MEASURES

Recommending that the penalty for
kidnapping be made even more severe
than Is provided In a house bill which
they considered this morning, the
senate judiciary committee reported
on the measure suggesting that maxi
mum Imprisonment be raised from
two TO five years, that fine Of $1,000
be allowed instead, or that both fine
and Imprisonment be given, accord
ing to the discretion of the ju1ge.
Members OF the committee who dis
cussed the measure this morning we're
unanimously agreed as TO the serious
ness OF the crime OF kidnapping They
believed II should be fittingly pun
ished.
Mention was made OF the custom
amoag Filipinos Of stealing mems
wives. which has come up in the local
courts. The general feeling WIS that
this should be discouraged through
good-sized penalties.
Plumbing Inspection Approved

spection in the hands Of The territory.
was passed in to the senate by the
committee with the recommendation
that Il be tabled II developed that
Honolulu has ordinances covering the

islands such an act would tend to stop
the county governments from enactlng
such ordinances.
Leave Discretion 70 Boards
The committee recommended tabl.
ing Representative Joseph's bill re-
quiring boards of supervisors 10 al
low public work on Saturday. II was
felt that this was a matter for certain
boards themselves to decide.

terminate franchise for Conveys cleo
trio power plant bill were submitted,
striking out the 50-year clause and
raising the franchise payment to the
territory to 2l2 per cent OF the re

TO Lakeland people but nevertheless
this enormous business is being built
up by good many of our people who
will be gulled by the inducements Of

and this is being done at the expense
of the business interests of this and
every other community who patronize
mail order houses in preference to
their home merchants. Lakeland is
growing, but oh how much faster and

us did not send so much money away

our Sunday school on its growth and
activity and rejoicing in the work
done by our church. Preceding the
sermon Mr.. Angel made a statement
in regard to the library books need
ed in the primary and intermediate
sections of the library, and many
calls for UNCONVENTIONAL books. Mrs.
Cason sang a beautiful selection,
