[LTIMAIDDT Of
SENATE ISNEVER
Sent Governor
Message Relative to Appoint
rnents and Combinations
j is Not Delivered

Governor Pinkham has never re-
ceiyed the "ultlmatum" of the terri
torial senate in the matter of the con
firmation of Bertram G. Riyenburgh
and other appolntees.
! This fact, learned by the Star-Bul-
letin, was confirmed today By Presi.
dent Charles F. Chillingworth of the
senate. though Chiliingworth refused
to explain the switch in proceedings,
declaring il was an executive session
matter and one on which he had no
power to speak.
In view of the action taken on Fri.
day when the clerk In open meeting
was ordered to notify the governor Of
the. sense of the senate in appointment
and confirmation matters, and In view
of subsequent action in executive ses-
sion to withhold the note, the exact
wording OF the clerks minutes for that
memorable Friday is Interesting.
Minutes Tell Of Procedure
Senator Castle moved that action
on the nominations by. the governor
be deferred until Saturday, April II,
1917, and that the clerk be instructed
to communicate to the governor the
sense Of the senate that no action
would be taken on the same until such
time as the senate had before it no
limitations. for all vacancies. This
motion was seconded by Senator Ka-
manoha.
Senator Pacheco moved that that
part of the motion referring to sending
a communication to the governor be
tabled. This motion was seconded by
Senator Makekau, and upon being put
to q vote lost
The motion as made by Senator
Castle was thereupon put and carried.
The clerk was thereupon instructed
to furnish each of the senators a copy
of the nominations made By the gov.
ernor. - ..='1 y
Think Trouble Nears End
The attempt on Saturday to confirm
Rivenburgh as prophesied in the Star
Bulletin on that date was frustrated.
At the close Of an executive session
II was evident that Rivenburgh was
still unconfirmed. His name had gone
over for the eleventh time. ..-..
Among the senators who began
work this afternoon on the calendar
OF the fifty-second day there We're a
goodly number who felt confident
Rivenburgh's confirmation would sue
coed in passing and thus end the pres.
ent squabble.
II Is also confidently expected that
y. II. Fisher, at present serving an
unappointed term. win be renamed b5

ANTHRAX BATTLE
IS BEING WAGED
Enough Cattle Dead to Feed
Islands a Month; Nofgaard
Handles Situation

To arrange for all details in the
fight to stamp out anthrax which has
killed already more than enough cattle
on Kauai. to supply the islands with
meat for a month, the board OF co1i-
missioners OF agriculture and forestry
met this morning with Charles A. Rice,
representative OF the Planters Associ-
alton. and chamber of commerce OF
Kauai.
The board went carefully into the
report OF DR.. Victor A. Norgaard, ter
ritorial veterinarian, and it was de-
cided that either Dr.. Norgaard or some
competent person should be kept on
Kauai until the disease Is absolutely
eradicated. At present the disease is
confined to Hanalei and IL IL the IN
tention of the board to keep 1t con.
fined to that district.
Cause Yet Undetermined
The board also went into the cues
ton as to how the disease started and
from the reports so far received II ap-
peas that 1t must have come either
from the bone meal which is fed the
cattle or from grass seed. In regard
to the latter theory Rice told the board
that the. rice seed, in the paddock
where tho cattle are dying. was sown
by q japanese woman, who shortly
afterwards died Of what was thought
to be anthrax. Rice also said that fat
cattle and not thin ones are affected
At present, he said. the cattle are only
dying In three paddocks on the ranch.
The board voted to have each yeteri.

that they may recognize 1t If It should
