WAREHOUSES; WILL MOVE HORSE RACES ON THE 4TH
JOCKEY CLUB DECIDES TO HAVE
4 SHORT PROGRAM.
Fourth of July Committee Awaiting
News of AnneNation-Moana May
Change Plans.

There will he horse races at Kapio-
lan Park track on July Attn. That
has been definitely decided by the
Jockey club. The fact will be relief
to horsemen, for the matter has been
in the balance for the past several
days. 1t seemed at one time that the
Fourth program of the regular OBJ
servance committee would undoubted-
IT, Interfere with If not side-track the
races.
1t has been decided by most of the
members of the Jockey club to make
only half day of the meet. No reg
ular meeting has been, held to deter
mine this point, though it is practi-
cally settled that the races will begin
at o'clock in the afternoon and con-
tinue the remainder of the day. This
will give ample time for six or eight
full events.
In this connection It may be stated
that the Fourth program this year is
among the uncertainties of this un-
certain season. The time for the OBJ
servauce is close at hand and ordi-
narily arrangements. would have
been perfected already. The proba-
bility. or apparent proximity, of an
neXation, places the committee in
such position that it hardly knows
how to act. If annexation occurs in
the meantime the plan will be to
make it the greatest celebration in
the history of the Islands. If such
has not been the case the chances are
that the observance. on account of the
strain of the entertainment to Ameri-
can troops, and the lateness of the
hour, will be very modest.
Chairman George W. Smith of the
Fourth committee stated this morn
ing that nothing would be done until
definite information has been receiv-
ed from Washington. This news is
expected by the Moana tomorrow. AZ
ter the steamer arrives meeting will
be held at (which some arrangements
will be made 95 u-
! The boat races in the harbor will
depend upon the results of this meet
ing. If the committee finds it desir-
able to make the observance quite
extensive the program will include
Traces and aquatic sports of various
kinds. Otherwise the matter will
probably fall through,

MR.. BOLTE DEMANDS ROWELL'S
RESIGNATION.
Makes Charges to Which Minister
Cooper has Made No Reply, but an
Oral Refusal to Investigate.

The journal which has started out
to defend Mr.. RowsW stated yester-
day that "If Mr.. Rowell is guilty of
any one of the many charges made
against him all that any citizen, or
member of the House, needed to do
was to step into the office of the Min
ister of the Interior and say, Mr.. Min
ster. that Superintendent of Public
Works has broken the law in regard
to building contract mentioning
it), and he should be removed. | de-
mand it," The Minister is bound un-
der the Constitution to act. and if he
does not, is liable to removal him
self"
Mr.. Bolte has handed The Star a
copy of letter which was sent to the
Minister of Interior. on March 22nd
of this year. The Interior Depart
ment in oral reply to the letter de-
clined to investigate the claim.
The letter is lengthy. but the fol-
lowing extracts bring out the main
points. Mr.. Bolte said;
"Mv claim was and is this:
"Whereas the government has made
contract with Wilson & Whitehouse
and bond was given and penalty
agreed upon for the proper fulfill
ment of such contract, and whereas |
and others have called the govern
ment's attention to the fact that Will
son & Whitehouse did not properly
fulfill the contract and that damages
had resulted therefrom, and whereas
| have asked the government to col
lect such bond and impose such pen
atty so that such damage might be
settled, but whereas the Superintend-
ent of Public Works has allowed Will
son d Whitehouse, contrary to law,
to draw their full pay from the public
treasury even before the work was ac-
cepted by him for the government,
and has thus Intentionally deprived us
of the opportunity to stop payment OF
money due Wilson & Whitehouse:
THAT therefore the Executive of
this government is bound to protect
us by placing before the Superintend.
ent of Public Works the alternative OF
making good to us the damages or &c
resign his position.
81 hereby reiterate all that | have
written on February 5th, and state
again that the Pail road has not beer
built in accordance with the contract
and that the Pail road is not yet fin.
ished; that the superintendent OF
Public Works has shown great favor
itism to the contractors, that he has
neglected his duty in various ways
and more especially by accepting the
road. and that he has violated the laws
of this republic by causing public
money to be paid out for work befor,
it was finished.
"I again invite thorough and promp
investigation of this matter, and
claim to be entitled to as much con
sideration and to as much protection
of this government as the contractors
and the Superintendent of Public
Works or anybody else"

The directors of the Rapid Transit
Company held closed conference
with the Senate committee this morn
ing on the bill for a franchise now BE-

months ago for harbor frontage.

the amendments agreed upon will he
inserted in both the Rapid Transi.
and the Hawaii railroad bills.

PRICES GO UP.
General Stiffening of Figures in the
Grocery Lines.

There has been gradual stiffening
of figures in the grocery line during
the past few weeks. The advance IS
largely sentimental, being due to re-
ports of heavy demands of American
troops for supplies at this point.
There is a scarcity in some lines of
produce. but imported goods are
quite plentiful.
The advance in prices is being felt
all around. 1t was estimated that ten
per cent advance was being paid on
the general run of table supplies. This
week the market is even more firm.
Most of the boarding houses and res
taurants have notified their patrons
that an advance in rates will be nee
essary to keep pace with the upward
tendency of groceries.

why not buy singer; there has been
more of them sold than any other

LafaHette's Pose.

In her book, 1.-The Home of the
Lafayettes, Miss Edith Sichel mar
rates the following anecdote of the
friend of Washington and America:
On returning from his visit to
America in 1926 Lafayette stood for
his portrait. His sister, Nine. de
Montagu, was much embarrassed by
the thought that be would probably
have been painted with the declara-
ton Of rights IN his hand, but she
was too delicate to ask him.
On his first visit to her after his
return home she inquired what pose
he had chosen. Her curiosity made
him smile.
well, my DEAR he replied, IT
am taking walk-my hat and cane
in my hand-like this. And he imi-
tated the attitude he had described.
And the other hand9" asked
Nine. de Montagu anxiously.
1T is in my pocket" answered
the general, which is better than
having it in somebody else's."

JUDGED BY HIS POLISH.

It Is Not Always the Polished Gentleman
Who Is the Gentleman of Real Polish.f
The reporter had stopped in the
Office Of the laundry to leave an or
der. AS he came in a young man
who might have come from New
Jersey or Newfoundland passed out.
He hasn't been in the city long"
remarked the clerk, with smile
which was not wholly compliment
tary to the departed
Who is he3" inquired the re-
porter.
Don't know; never saw him be-
fore in my life"
"How do you know he is new to
the towns"
He wanted shine on his shirt,
polish on his linen, as Boston per-
SONS call it.
"Does newness in town have any
thing to do with it,"
"Does it," and the clerks tone
indicated how sorry he was for the
reporter g ignorance. "Well, I should
say it did. When a mans been iv-
ing in the city any time, he hasn't
got any use for shiny shirt fronts
and likewise the collars and cuffs
that go with them. Take zap.
from the raw districts, and the first
thing he wants to put on when he
strikes the town is a shirt he can
see himself in the bosom of. Then
he wants his cuffs to glisten to
match, and his collar is rank fail
ure if it doesn't look like it had been
soaked overnight in an enamel
bath. That's for the first half dozen
washes or SO. Then he begins to
think different, depending on the
kind of society he trains with, and
pretty soon he asks for domestic
finish, and it amt long after that
until he begins to think that a shiny
shirt front is something positively
dreadful, and if we happen to get
the least bit of a shine on his stuff
he wants to slug somebody. A real
ly and truly swell, don't you know,
would a blamed sight rather be seen
drunk at a social function than to
be seen there wearing linen with a
shine on it.
Still there are some right nice
men yet living who like to have
shiny linen. They are mostly old
fellows, and they like the shine be-
cause it looks cleaner after a little |
wear. Of course these old chaps are
of the left overs, the style once be-
ing with every body to have shiny
linen. That's where the laundry ran
out the washerwoman, who hadn't |
the machinery to shine with, and |
she lost her customers. She's com
ing in again though now, for the
shine isn't the thing any more, and
no machine laundering is equal to
the hand work for real swell finish.
The country laundry is yet doing
the bulk of its work with a shine
on, and the countryman, like the
one you just saw go out, is known
by the polish on his linen. De

Great advertisers live in the his

of their firms long after they them
selves have "shuft1ed off this mortal

newspapers continue to bear fruit
after the advertisers are dead. On
the other hand, the nonadvertising
business man is dead to the COM

life, and his business is more than
apt to die with him.-Savannah
