Governor Believed Likely To
Smash Bill Carrying Appro-
pfiation 70 Pay Expenses
OPPOSITION DEVELOPED
IN KAUAI DELEGATION
Norman K. Lyman Also Kicks At
paying Fares Of Both Brock
.'"'s ons and Kuhio"

The bill appropriating $4,000 for
the expenses Of congressional trip to
Hawaii will in all probability fail of
becoming law and the trip win be killed
according to Developments in the legis-
lSture yesterday.
The Governor has announced, II Is
anthoritatiyely stated, that he will veto
the bill II il is passed. Why he will
do so remains one of the deep, dark
mysteries Of the Great Silence. II was
understood even before the legislature
convened that Pinkbam had his axe
sharpened for the bill, but at that time
both Speaker Holstein and President
Chillingworth were confident that they
would have enough votes TO pass the
bill over the gubernatorial veto com
fortably. &NsEt. , ..
But opposition unexpectedly develop
ed The bill, Senate Bill 2, passed the
upper house without difficulty and was
sent down TO the house Of representa-
tives It passed first and second read
ing and was called up on third reading
Wednesday. Kawewehi promptly
moved to defer consideration until to-
morrow The only reason he gave was
that some of the members were absent.
Yesterday the bill was again deferred,
until tomorrow morning. Later IL de.
veloped that the Kauai delegation was
opposed TO the measure, on the ground,
il is said, that Kauai doesn't get any.
thing from the federal government and
doesn t want anything; therefore il
doesn't want any of the rest of the
-
There is also opposition to the bill on
the part Of some members Of the Hawaii
delegation. Norman X. Lyman stated
yesterday afternoon that he was opposed
10 spending 100000 to bring a big dele
CATION of congressman and others ia
the Islands. eff we could have just
ten or twelve Of the really big men OF
congress, he said, at reasonable ex,
pense, / should not object. But part
of the money, If the bill is passed, will
> be used TO bring Ruhioi and Jack Deshs
and Bob Breckons back from Washing
ton. I'm against that Kind of thing. ,,
II is not expected that the opposition
win be sufficient to prevent the, passage
of the bill by the house. But there ].
grave doubt that the friends Of the
measure will be able to muster enough
votes TO pass it over the Governor 8 We
to. 49, IT,
In the meantime, Speaker Holster
has wirelcssed Delegate Kuhio, asking
whether or not there is any chance OF
the congressional party being ready Il
come to Hawaii before July l.. Under
the terms of the bill the appropriation
lapses on that date, and the speaker
says there is no use in tying up SAC, 900
uselessly. TT

patriotic Act of Wife of
Russian

A mob of 500 or 400 including many
women, bombarded house with missiles
after torn American flag had been hurled
from n window.
The riot which was quelled by the police,
occurred in front of house at 2l2S Ann
street. Mrs. Adelaide Kosoboski, forty-two
years old living at that address was ar
rested, accused of tearing the flag. The
windows of the house were shattered and
pillows were torn open by the men and boys
who attacked the house.
The riot began with n misunderstood
ing. according to the police. Mrs Koso-
boski, who was housecleaninG, extended a
pole from n second-story window and hung
an assortment of Naricolored bed clothes
on it. The reds and white OF the blankets
and quilts did not add dignity to the pa =
trotic display of American flags along the
street, in the opinion of several neghbors
who ordered the woman to remove the
clothes. She refused. Several men yanked
the offending objects down and tossed an
American flag through an open window
calling to Mrs. kosoboski to hang IL from
Il window.
Mrs. KosobsSi. according to the police
tore the flag into shreds and threw it into
tack upon the house, which did not end
until policemen from the Belgrade and
Clearfe.d streets station escorted her from
the house. She was held in $500 bail for
further hearing by Magistrate Wrigley
Mrs. kosoboskis husband is Il Russian ac.

M. E. MINISTER
RETIRES FROM SERVICE
Charges Against Rev. George A.
Cooke Dropped When He
Offers to Quit
SEAFORD, Del. March 81

The case of the Rev. George A. Cooke,
deposed pastor Of Wesley Methodist Church,
Wilmington, came to an end in conference
here this afternoon, when, upon Cooke $
own request, he was formally transferred
from the active to the retired list and the
charges against him were formally dropped.
BY this action the scandal which has
ensued a result of the accusations by
Cooke against members of his former con-
gregation and from the counter-charges
made against him, is ended.
To all intents and purposes Cooke is out
of active service so far as the Wilmington
Conference is concerned.
The select committee which heard the
case recommended this action this after
noon and it was unanimously adopted by
the conference.
minister occupying the retired relation
may be employed as PASTORAL supply and
may officiate at meetings and other cere-
monies, but only by vote of the conference
could such a minister be restored to the
active list
