C[AR|DGE AND JOHNS ARE TO
 WELD GAVELS

The crowd which thronged the galler- ies of the house and the senate yester- day on the opening day of the third state legislature expecting to see the Hunt and anti-Hunt factions scrub the floor with the blood of one another or to settle the gubernatorial contest, were in a mood to demand their money back from the box office or from the elevator boy. There was never a tanner legisla- tive opening.
 There was a nice, stubborn scrap be- hind closed doors and the belligerents emerged from it smiling and with feathers unrufiled. It was a Hunt and anti Hunt fight but it had nothing to do with the gubernatorial fight. No al- fusion was made to it in the conflict whose object was to determine whether there should be conservative or radical control of the legislature. The conser- vatives won in both branches and in each had a republican reserve.
 D. H. Claridge Of Graham county was nominated in caucus for president of the senate over Mulford Winsor of Iu- ma by a vote of to 6.
 4. A. Johns If Yavapai was named in the house democratic caucus for speaker over L. F. Vaughn of Marico- pa by a vote of 15 to 16. The anti Hunt men lost TWO votes in caucus they had counted upon but still had enough. It was not though an unalloted defeat for the Hunt forces, for an agreement had been made on Sam W. Proctor of Navajo for chief clerk.
 There had hardly been a time since the nominations were made last fall when it was not pretty certain that the legislature would be anti-Hunt and the end reached yesterday had been clearly foreseen for forty weight hours. The caucuses of Sunday night were inform al and throughout yesterday morning were continued under the guise of ex- ecutive sessions up to the hour of con vuning the legislature. In fact ehe senate caucus was ended just in time to rap that body to order on the stroke of noon. It was ten minutes past twelve when the house assembled.
 The Senate
 The senate was called to order by Senator C. M Roberts of Cochise. the oldest member. and prayer was offered by Rev. Bertrand Cocks of the EpiscO- pal church On the motion of Mir. Ruth erford of Yavapai. a committee of five on credentials was named. The mem bers of this committee were Senators Sutter of Cochise, Winsor of Yuma. Claypool of Gila, Buchanan of Pima and Mahoney of Mohave. After a re- cess of an hour the committee reported and the organization of the senate pro- ceeded. Mir. Claridge was placed before the senate by Senator Devine of PinaL His nomination was seconded by his late antagonist, Mulford Winsor. No nomination was offered by the five re- publican memters so that the election of Mir Claridge was unanimous. On the motion of Senator Campbell of Coco

Judge ROBERTSON
fAYORS DROPPING
CHARTER REVISION

s. 81 - Il. q 4 4
In a little interview given to the
Star-Bulletin today Chief Justice A.
G. NJ. Robertson says of the. city char
ter situation:
The present situa ton with refer
ence to the proposed new charter for
Honolulu would seem to present q
good opportunity for the senate to
drop the subject. The whole agitation
for new charter was ill advised and
premature. Community opinion had
not reached the point where it was
prepared to give general support to a
real short-ballot charter, hence there
was no need of broaching the subject
of new charter. A process of i'm
Irovement by amendment of the ex-
listing law was the better plan. The
differences of opinion between Far
rington's fighting phalanx and the
Kakaako cohorts could well be COM
posed by compromise on that line, and
those who have not favored an entire
new charter would be satisfied. The
so-called three and three" plan for
the. election of supervisors would be
a backward step Theoretically 1t Is
wrong, and practically it would serve
to aggravate and intensity tie al
ready awkward division Of the town by
the line of Nuuanu street. The sub
ject of a new charter may very APP
rropriately be postponed for discus
sion, education and consideration till
after the war is over and normal con-
ditions have returned"

FINAL LOCATION
TRACKS SETTLED

The location of the Rapid Transit
tracks at the entrance to Kapioiani
park was again taken up by the beard
of supervisors at its noon meeting to-
day and after nearly every member
had proposed some different route 1t
was voted to let them be installed as
planned in resolution 726 passed sew
eral weeks ago with some slight mod.
ificaticns suggested by the engineers
of the city and the railroad company.
At the last meeting of the board
Supervisor Hatch charged the Rapid
Transit Company with disregarding
the spirit of the resolution by placing
the tracks so near the corner of Park
road. that the trees would be killed.
City Engineer Collins was asked to in
vestigate ....':. ~. Z
Collins found that the route laid
out by the Rapid Transit was over
four feet from the trees, giving ample
clearance, but to avoid all chances the
company .has agreed to run the tracks
a foot and a half still further mauka
of the trees. X. - ~.
Hollinger suggested that the tracks
be laid makai for the corner and
Hatch still further mauka, but these
plans were declared impractical.
