Thus declared Prof. Elwood Mead, be id of the California land settle-i nt hoard, today in outlining to The St or- Bui let in his personal ftixge.Mions for financing the big irrigation project In connect ion it Hawaiian habitita i n.

which, in the opinion of experts, will cost in the neighborhood of lirirfly. Professor Mead's main mggestlon is that the financing of the project be. made a fifty-fifty proposition whereby the federal government would be requested to appropriate $1, 600,000 toward the undertaking, the remaining to bo provided for by the territorial legislature by the issuance of territorial improvement bonds. Urge Survey First In the opinion cf Professor Mead, OonKref" would listen with sympathy to a proposition of this kind, jilthoueh he advises that, in the ice of present retrenchment and policies of Ftrict economy, nothing be donn in the matter of ackins Congress for money for at least a year.

Heretofore, when advances of funds have been made for project this type, tho federal government required no interest, calling for the repayment of the Wnclpal, and thid over a lonp per iod of years. FSut now, nays l'rofcs-for Mead, there is a strong senti-mnt toward the imposition of an interest rate of 4 per cent on such Hut.

he adds, it would be to tho advantage of the territory to obtain money from the federal government nt this rate of interest, as it would have to pay at least 4Vi per cent interest on its own territorial bonds. Project of Real Valu "I know of no reclamation project that would be of more real value to the public than this one." Vrofcssor Mead told The Star-Bulletin, "and th? benefit to tho public tho basis upon which the value of any project of this kind is determined. It would create on the is land of Molokai intensive agriculture that would hav a valuable Influence upon the development, of the present dry pasture lands. In other words. Its benefits would extend far beyond the area immediately affected." He added that, in his opinion, the development of water on Molokai for irrigation purposes is vitally essential to the whole rehabilitation Hcheme in so far as it affects tha.

island. "I believe," Professor Mead con tinued. "that the development of the two settlements on Molokai will ventually lead to he development all the lands along the leo coasst. There are 20 miles of fine land there which ought to bo intensively farmed. If this were done, then the value cf the greater irrigation project Mould be 50 apparent that few would question its wisdom." The fcreat difficulty in getting an from Congress today.

C. Pacheco introduced a resolution to cut Luning's salary from $200 to $150 a month, beginning July 1. Pacheco has just finished obtaining increases of $25 and SI 5 a month in the salaries of David Trask. assistant building inspector, and I. J.

Hopu. deputy city and county clerk, respectively. "Now, we have just granted two salary increases and I propose to save this money for the county." 'said Tacheco. "several months ago a majority of this board went on nothing." Pacheco than introduc ed his resolution, producing more heat that a gross of resistance coils. McClellan Defends Luning Supervisor W.

II. McClellan at once took the floor in Luning's defense and placed the blame for the failure of the market to pay expenses upon the board, saying that Luning had never been given a "square deal" or a chance to "make good." Supervisor Ben Hollinger said that while he favored a change in the management of the market he did not favor reducing the manager's pay in order to obtain it. ''I think that the board and the mayor ousht to get together on this proposition and make some satisfactory arangements so that harmony can be had between the market and the board." he added. Pacheco then spoke caustically of Hollinger, w-ho was one of those who favored the discharge of Luning recently, for having changed his attitude. Hollinger protested that this was not the case, but that he did not favor the method suggest-by Pacheco.

Supervisor Charles N. Arnold then took a hand in the proceedings and told the mayor that "unfortunately" Luning's salary does not come out of the budget of the city and county, but is paid from the revolving fund of the market, so that the board is unable to get at him in the former and that Pacheco had put forth the only means left for a majority of the board to effect its will. Mayor Takes a Hand Mayor John II. Wilson stepped into the fight at this point in support of Luning, saying that members of the board had failed to deal in anything but generalities In making charges against Luning and that not one member had come to him with anything definite or fig ures. He added that until this is done he be compelled to take no cognizance of complaints against Luning.

Supervisor Ebon P. Low then ac cused Mayor Wilson of being as well aware of the incompetence of Luning as any member of the board and said that Luning could not tell the debit from the credit side of a ledger. "Luning doesn't know any more about running a market than I do about playing a Beethoven sonata and I know nothing about music," Pacheco put in at this point-. The resolution to reduce 'Lun ing salary brought forth a tie vote, Pacheco, Arnold and Low fav oring it and McClellan, Hollinger and Kumalae toeing opposed. Sup ervisor Lester Petrie was abseiyt.

Because of the tie vote the ques tion will become a special order of business at the next regular meet ing of tho board. The market again comes to the fore near the close of the meeting when the market committee re ported as to why it was necessary to rent space in privately-owned refrigerating plants when tho board less than a year ago spent $15,000 for such a plant at the market. The committee reported that certain edibles required a temperature of 22 degrees whereas the market refrigerator is kept uniformly at about 30 degrees. Inquiry brought out the fact that it is meat imported from New Zealand and Australia that requires the lower temperatures, which injected the policy of the market handling other than island produce into the discussion. Pacheco Is Emphatic At this point McClellan stated that some members appeared to be there in the interests of some of the large private meat dealers of the city.

Pacheco at once got up and said that if the previous speaker was referring to him "he can go plumb tO The argument ended in the adoption of a. resolution discontinuing the policy of handling produce at the market, other than that raised in Hawaii.

ine weekly Ro- Green, H. Peter, Jr. E. Chang and Manuel Irwin Outlines Case After the completion of the jury, brief opening statement was made Attorney General Harry Irwin, who outlined certain alleged facts which he stated he would attempt prove. He claimed he would show that the stock in question, said to have been placed with the Securities Trust Co.

for sale at not less than $18 a share, was sold at a lower figure and the proceeds con-Verted to the use of the company, and that when a report was made the transaction by the company trustee, the alleged stock sale was returned at a figure some $3000 lower than the alleged actual eale price. George II. Vicars of Hilo, tiger. the Henry Waterhouse Trust receiver for the People's Bank and allied corporations, was the first witness called by thi prosecution. He indentified a number of documents and radiograms which, i said, had been taken from the vaults of the trust company by him agent, all of which apparently had some connection with the Branco stock transaction.

These documents included, among other things, a copy of Branco's account with the trust company, a sheet from the ledger of the company showing the company's account as trustee, a letter to Williamson Buttoiph. Honolulu stock brokers, transmitting specific shares of Olaa stock named in the indictment against Truslow, and a radiogram from Williamson Buttoiph to the company advising it of the sale of S0O shares of Olaa stock. Vicars was not cross-examined by the defense upon the completion of his testimony. Letter Is Missing The testimony then shifted to the disappearance of a letter that had been enclosed in a registered letter with 1000 shares of Olaa stock which Branco sent to the Securities Trust Co. with the request that the shares be sold at not less than $18.

David W. Branco, son of the late Mr. Branco. and a resident of Lau-pahoehoe. said that he had written this letter himself, and that his father had signed it.

He then xdaced the letter and certificates of stock in an envelope, sealed it, and forwarded it to the company by registered mail. This, he said, happened in July, 1920. T. D. Collins of Honolulu, former cashier and treasurer of the trust company, testified that he had made search for the letter in question, at the request of the attorney general, but had been unable to find it.

At this junction. Attorney William B. Lymer, counsel for the de fense, admitted that a diligent search had been made for the letter, but without avail. Transaction Described Continuing his testimony Collins recited how 1000 shares of Olaa stock, S0O of which were the property of the Branco estate, had been sent to the brokerage firm of Williamson Buttoiph in Honolulu for sale. It -was stipulated by Manuel Branco, owner of the stock, that it should not be sold for a figure less than $18.
