ROBINSON TO BUCK
ANfAPpOINIMENIs
FOR AUTHORSHIP

Declaring that he is Disguised with
wire-pulling certain members Of the
senate have resorted to in the the last
few weeks to get the governor to
name an appointee to the position OF
territorial auditor, Senator w. T. Rob
inson of Maui vowed this morning
that he would not vote for the con-
firmation of any names sent down for
that place.
"This Is not a personal matter as
far as ! am concerned" declared Rob-
inson, neither is it political. After
the work that has gone on recently on
the appointment would not vote now
for the confirmation of Republican or
Democrat, not even though the ap.
pointee were my best friend"
Furthermore, Robinson Is done with
the holding of secret sessions for the
consideration of the governors ap-
pointments. He says he believes the
discussions on appointments should be
open to the public.
I'VE thought we were standing for
a principle" says Robinson I'VE de-
termined to defer appointments of the
governor until the entire list had been
sent in. It was not that we were hold
ing out for Fishers denomination, but
we did want the entire list sent down
before taking action"
Robinson derides the manner in
which the senate backed down from
this stand. Let the others do what
they will, he is through, he says.

12o MINERS TRAPPED, MAY DIE,
Composite Bill
. For Prohibition
VIII Go to House

Adopting the suggestion OF Senator
r. w. Single that the date for voting
on prohibition in the territory be
changed from July Ia to November
20, the senate this morning with little
debate passed on third reading house
bill 1853, proposing a plebiscite and
carrying with it amendments which In
cfude the chief sections of senate
bill on the same question.
Robinson and Kamauoha, members
Of the majority committee which had
recommended the bills being tabled,
We're the only dissenters. Makekau,
the third membe-, ana Mikaele, his
voting companion, we're not present.
The vote thus stood II 20 2 The bill
now goes back to the house as
amended.
Shingles suggestion to change the
date came as surprise, but not as
much Of surprise as his previous pro-
posal TO set the election date TO two
months after the declaration Of peace.
Caste, and ChiliIn gHorfh both opp6sel
tliis as toe sifIdefinite. Castle accepted
the date OF November 20 with Wiling
ness.
Il am not In favor Of prohibition.
said Shinsie in beginning his talk. Il
favor regulation instead do not
think II would be fair to ask the
people to vote ON this question during
war time. Iadvocate fair play"
Shing!e added that he did not re-
fer alone to the liquor interests, but
to those here who are attempting 70
promote the tourist trade. 1t would
not be fair to them to ask for a vote
at this time. After peace was de-
clared he was willing to see vote on
the question. He believed it would
carry for prohibition.
Chillingworth wanted to be fair, he
said, and not appear to be showing pro-
hibition down peoples threats. Hs
thought the question ought to be set
tied as soon as possible, however.
Single also pointed out that the
license board has wide powers at
present. He believed the board could
refuse license, after a hearing, with
out giving any reasons. Other senators
did not favor this form of action. Fl
nally after some discussion OF date,
Single lingering his calendar pad the
while. November Is was suggested.
The senate as whole SHE'D supersti-
tiously at the date and November ~
was chosen. The amendment was
placed in the bill.

that time there was not a trained man

man who was not a Christian was the
first instructor.
