DISMISSED.
A Faithful official Has to Make
Room for an Advisory Councillor.

Mr.. John G. White, Superinten-
dent of Water Works, has been noti-
fed to vacate that office at the end
of this month, and deliver over all
the belongings of the Office to Mr..
Andrew Brown, who is to succeed
him.
Mr.. White has fitted his office as
perfectly as any official under the
Hawaiian Government. He has held
the position he now vacates since
the beginning of Queen Liliuoka-
lani's reign. Previously he had been
Survey Engineer and Fire Marshal
for the Honolulu Fire Department
Mr.. White did not have to learn the
A B C's of the billet, as many years
ago he had been in similar posi-
tion in Scotland. Being a COM
petent engineer and not having a
lazy bone in his body, he has given
satisfaction to successive Govern
ments and to the public.
The retiring Superintendent serv-
ed the Provisional Government
faithfully, being on deck for duty
day and night throughout the close
watch kept on the water supply in
the period of martial law. His re-
ward is to be summarly dismissed
without any cause assigned. Mr..
Brown, who succeeds him, is one of
the original members of the Advis-
ory Council of the Provisional Gov
ernment. He is a man of intelli-
gence above the average and a first
class mechanic, and only for the
manner in which place is made for
him both himself and the commune
ity could be congratulated.

CLOSE SHAVE.
A Police officer Narrowly Escapes
Being Killed.

A Police Officer Narrowly Escapes
Being Killed.
Police Officer D. KAPPA narrowly
escaped serious injury yesterday af-
ternoon, shortly after 5 o'clock. He
was on horseback and was coming
along King street near Maunakea
street when the engine of Co. No. 2
came flying round Maunakea street
at breakneck speed. The engine
shot across the road and struck the
officers horse before he had time to
get out of the way. The horse was
unceremoniously hurled to one side
by the collision and the officer
thrown to the ground. Engine Co.
No. l was coming along at the same
time on King street. Their engine
struck the horse again and threw
him down. The officer managed to
roll out of the way of the struggling
horse and the heavy wheels of the
engines, and escaped with a few
bruises about the body and leg. The
horse was cut in several places on
the fore legs and under the chest.
The officer stated that he had
noticed Engine Co. No. l coming
along, but thought they we're out
for drill, as he had not heard the fire
alarm. While he was watching them
No. 2's engine turned into King
street like lightning, so that it was
impossible for him to escape.
This is not the first accident
caused by No. and will not be the
last one, if the driver persists in
turning corners at high speed. Pc,
destrians also narrowly escaped be,
ing knocked down yesterday.

CONTEMPTOF COUNCILS.
The Councils are a Legislature
with Power Against Con-
tempt,
The Warrant was Straight and John
Sheldon Is Remanded for Trial by
the Councils.
The Warrant was Straight and John

Judge w. F. Frear, Second of the
First Circuit Court, this afternoon
fled his first decision since coming
to the bench. 1t was on the petition
of G.. G. Kenyon for writ of habeas
corpus on behalf of j. G.. M. Shell
don, editor of the Hawaii Holomua.
Sheldon was arrested on a warrant
signed by S. B. Dole, President of
the Provisional Government, charg-
ing him with contempt toward the
Executive and Advisory Councils of
the Provisional Government.
His Honor, in rendering his de-
cision, says that Section 81 of the
Habeas Corpus Act provides that in
cases in which the writ is not "de-
mandable of right" the Supreme
Court or any Justice thereof may at
their discretion issue the writ ex-
cept in the case of persons commit
ted by the Legislative Assembly in
the manner and for the causes pro-
vided by the Constitution. The ex-
ception to Section 32 relates only to
persons committed. There had as
yet been no commitment in this
case.
The courts have power in habeas
corpus proceedings to decide whether
the Legislature acted within it's
jurisdiction in any case of arrest or
commitment. The Councils have
power as Legislative body. "The
two Councils sitting together are a
Legislative body" The Councils have
power, both expressly and by impli-
cation, to punish for contempt. The
warrant in this case was issued by
President Dole by the order of the
Councils.
A statement of the offense in gem
eral terms in the warrant is sutfi-
cient. In one case cited it was held
that even the offense need not be
specified, but the Legislature had
power to bring an alleged offender
before it without informing him of
what he was accused. 1t would
seem to be the practice, the Court
says, not to inform the offender OF
the charges against him until he ap,
pears before the assembly.
The decision concludes: "It ap
pearing that j. G.. M. Sheldon, or
whose behalf the petition is made
is held under a valid warrant o.
arrest issued by competent author
ity, he is remanded to the custody
of the Marshal"
G. w. Ashford, A. P. Peterson
Chas. Creighton, A. Rosa and j. L
Kaulukou for the petitioner; w. O
Smith and F. M. Hatch for the res
pondent.
Mr.. Sheldon was taken before th
Councils again by Marshal Ashley

Patent Elastic Seam Drawers !

We want to call the attention
of our patrons to novelty which,
from the favor it has been re-
ceived with, we believe has come
to stay and become an indispen-
sible article Of gents furnishing.
A glance at the cut above will
show at once the superiority of
goods made in this manner over
those heretofore in vogue.
SCRIvEN's PATENT ELASTIC
SEAM DRAWERS are provided
with an improvement consisting
of an ELASTIC INSERTION at the
inner and outer seams, which
gives elasticity in movement and
comfort in fit. The drawers are
cut in figure outlines and afford
the wearer all the advantages of
knit goods, while retaining the
superior comfort Of woven fabric.
The PATENT ELASTIC SEAN,
which CONTAINS NO RUBBER, re-
tains it's springiness and wears
longer than the other portion of
the garment. 1t makes the
drawers conform to the position
of the wearer and avoids any
strain, no matter what attitude
the body assumes.
1t will also be found that these
PATENT ELASTIC SEAM DRAWERS
are equally well adapted to all
athletic positions and allow the
greatest freedom and ease of
motion. In the position as
sumed in the cut, not the least
tension is produced OH the main
portion of the goods, while the
elastic seams allow the transfor-
nation of the figure as seen in
the position, which would be i'm
possible in others without pro-
ducing great strain on the goods
and friction upon the person.
We have now complete stock
of these goods in all sizes, and
can recommend those made OF
the material known as "JEAN'
to be the coolest and best adapt.
ed for those persons who do not
care to wear woolen fabrics.
They say that there is "noth.
ing new under the sum-" but the
fellow who said that was all
wrong. He forgot "Gent's Fur.
nishings," they're always max
ing something new in that line
The latest yet, we have jus
!, received samples of, from The
, manufacturers. 1t consists q
> Gauze, Balbriggan, or Silk Un
!. der Garments with WOOL skill
; fully woven into the breast ant
: back to protect the most vita
3 parts of the body from cold o
i chill. TO the many people VIII
$ cannot wear all wool goods oil
q account of the irritation some
n times felt, these goods will be
J, great boon, as, while they vii
" have the advantage of wearin
II II cotton fabric, the lungs an
J. back will have nice warm coy
u; y; ering of wool. From the man
y sentiments of approval we hav
1t heard regarding these goods W
,r believe them to be good thin
t. for our climate, and have place
our orders for "A full stocl

THE Co-EDS TO MARCH.
They Suddenly Concluded That 1t
Would Be Nice After All.

They Suddenly Concluded That 1t
Would Be Nice After All.
4 week ago the "co-eds" at Berkeley
were excited over the rumOr that they
would be ordered out on charter day and
would be compelled to march from the
library to the gymnasium. They declared
that they would not march down like n lot
OF seminary girls and be the laughing stock
of all the boys. They mad considered it
great joke when the order was pasted that
the cadets would have to drill on the 23d,
but the aspect of the matter changed when
1t became q possibility that they would
have to march also. Besides disliking to
march like the girls at the seminaries, the
word order had sound that they did not
like.
But finally six of the girls declared that
they thought IL was real nice of the faculty
to give them chance to show what a nice
crowd of girls attended the university, and
it would also give them a chance to display
their new dresses and their mortar boards.
These last arguments at last struck the
majority very favOrably, and gradually the
girls changed their opinions and decided
that it would not be so bad after all if they
did have to march. This was the state of
mind that they were in when they went up
TO Professor BacOn's room yesterday after
noon to hear what he had to say in regard
10 the arrangements for charter day. Pro-
lessor Bacon did not detain them long, but
In lew simple words gave the reasons of
the faculty for desiring them to come to the
exercises in body. He stated that no one
would have TO march if she did not want to-
This decided the "eo-eds," and they
enthusiastically declared that they would
even head the battalion If it was SO de-
sired. This march is the sole topic of in

FIREPRooFING POSSIBLE.
But Combustible Material Is Often
NeedlessIy Used in Building.

Scarcely week goes by. says writer in
the Engineering Magazine. that one or an
other Of the journals devoted to archi-
lecture does not contain some article by ex-
perienced and able writers bearing upon the
freproofug of buildings, and, without
doubt, there could be formulated from
these articles a system of principles that
would be thoroughly efficient to meet the
requirements. In the attempt to discover
the right principles, the advice and assist
ance of the now noted fceproofug COM
panies should not be neglected The de-
maDd was no sooner created for science
of tireprooting than il was Immediately met
by the formation of companies for the very
purpose of supplying it.
The new industry, with experience as its
teacher, has developed year by year until
at the present moment there is not a first
class architect or engineer in the country
who will deny that an absolutely fireproof
building can be built, ana at reasonable
cost. let fires of the most disastrous char
acter are constantly occurring in buildings
advertised by their owners as freproof. 1t
is not surprising. therefore, that a large
element, probably a vast majority, of the
entire community doubt the possibility of
constructing an absolutely fireproOf build
ing. 1t is an incontrOyertible fact that
every fire that has taken place in fire
rr0uf' building has been due to the indis-
crilninate use of combustible material In
Its construction; moreover, it may be DEM
Onstrated that firepro0f material could have
been substituted for the material burned at
Il cost not exceeding 20 per cent.

The "spinning-Jenny" attachment which

Jean Baptiste Gerber is a native Of AL
SAGE, now a German province, and was
born in 1916. He is therefore n years old.
he came 10 this country IN 1852 and to this

time he devotes TO his hippodrome railroad.
What is his railroad?
Although he calls it by the rather enig-
matics title OF the Gerber Aerial Hippo

elevated track on pillars, the cars being
propelled by hands. feet electricity, or. in
fact. any motive power.
