of the sewerage system plans and the
report recently at hand from Mr.. Ru-

present with Government maps and ex-
planned to the Cabinet members, points
concerning the Herring charts and esti-

but it is likely the station will be built
on the Kakaako reef for pumping from
the well there and that sewer mains
will be put in from Nuuanu stream to

Wheel Overheard.

Bob Stone of the r. P. Rithet thinks
that the Fates have dealt harshly with
him. After working hard all day Sat
urday, he naturally expected a fine
holiday on Sunday, but part of his aft
ernoon and evening was spent in wip-
ing the salt water from his wheel.
Stone got too close TO the edge of
Brewers wharf, lost his balance, and
went over, wheel and all. He first be-
came entangled in line from one Of
the vessels near by, but was soon in
the water with his wheel, which he
succeeded in getting only after repeat
ted dives to the bottom.

some serious charges against Mr.
Dole and his Cabinet. He says:
In fact some earnest patriots have
even gone so far as 10 declare that the

forts TO secure annexation. and the
threat has been made openly by some
powerful political leaders. that in case
the present Congress fails to annex the
Islands, the Dole Administration must
step down and out. or take the conse-
quenees."
The men who form the present min
istry are not men whose private inter

When they learned that if the Isl
ands were annexed the political plums
would go to the friends of the men in
Washington, who are most earnestly
working for annexation. they suddenly
seemed TO lose interest"
