sibility for Naval Trouble.

Honolulu, Dec. 23.-Arthur Greene
a civilian, and Lieutenant Commander
Boucher, U. s. N, were charged with
responsibility for the recent trouble
in the American Samoan island in a
proclamation of the Samoan house,

The proclamation declared that the
administration of Admiral Terhune,
former governor of Samoa. who COM
mitted suicide a short time ago, was
honest, but without tact
1t urged that Greene and Boucher
be prosecuted, alleging they we're in
terestedly selfishly in making trouble
in the island.
Boucher now is naval prisoner
aboard the u S. s. Kansan. where he
is being held pending action of court
martial.
Greene started his newspaper ca
reer in Topeka, on the Topeka Her
aid" some twenty years ago. leaving
Topeka for the Pacific coast, where
he was employed on the Portland
Oregonian and later on other Pacific
coast papers, finally ending up in
Honolulu.
Greene's father, A. L. Greene, was
formerly at the head of the Kansas
C. A. r.. and died some two years ago
at Hood River, Ore.
The head of the Samoan admins
tration. Colonel Terhune. was engaged
in a controversy with Greene and 9TH
ers. which resulted in the ordering of
an investigation of his administration.
The commander of the island COM
mitted suicide the day before the ar
rival of the ship which carried the
investigating commission.
