ACCIDENT BOARD TO
MAKE N0M0RE RULINGS
Judge Ashford's Decision and
couusePs Opinion Stop Work

Owing TO the decision of Circuit
Judge Ashford and on the advice of
Charles S. Davis, its counsel, the in
dustrial accident board has determined
to hold no more hearings at the present
time. A letter will be sent to the Gov
ernor asking for Instructions, whether
the board shall close up its Office or
continue as before with the routine
work and with the exception of holding
hearings and making rulings.
The industrial accident board APP
pears to be a commission without job
or at best with a very small job con-
sidering the powers when the last leg
islature intended to confer upon It.
Judge Ashford has decided that the
law under which il was to operate for
the next two years is unconstitutional.
Undoubtedly the higher court will be
called upon to rule on this opinion but
the advice Of counsel is that no hear
ings shall be held pending such rul-
ing, A hearing was TO have been held
yesterday afternoon but the plan was
abandoned. ~
Circular letters are to be sent to the
various insurance companies by the see
rotary Of the board that the commits
sioners are willing TO receive reports
on accidents but win make no rulings
until otherwise advised by counsel.

More officers from the units of the
Oahu garrison will be ordered TO the
mainland for duty in the present war
crisis, if report that was current on
the streets after the arrival of the

day afternoon, proves correct. The
report gave no basis for its insistancs
that from forty to fifty officers now on
duty here will be instructed TO depart
ON the first available transport for duty
on the mainland.
IL is known that number of officers
now serving here have their applica.
lions in for a transfer to the continen-
tai United States, and that number
of them have been hopeful. II the
rumor reported above proves accurate
they will be delighted with chance
for active service before they expected.

aides de camp of General Strong has
been ordered relieved on his arrival on
the mainland and assigned ON some
mission not made known in the depart.
ment orders. These orders, however
received several days ago, have no
bearing upon the report that other
officers are TO go at Ouce. "
