MIR. DODGE'S BILL.
Auditor Petty's Decision That 1t Can
not Now he Paid.

not Now BE Paid.
Mr. j. T. Petty the auditor of the Dis
trict, has decided that the District Commits
sioners cannot pay, without the express
action of Congress- the bill recently rem
dered by Mr. w. c. Dodge for professional
services rendered to the attorney for the
District in the case Of William A. Brickel
and others against the District Of Column
bia involving the use of a device In the
boilers of the fire engines used in the local
departments. Mr.. Dodge rendered the SER
vices referred to in 1891. Mr.. A. B. Duvall,
the present attorney for the District called
the matter to the Commissioners attention
recently, and upon his recommendation an
order was issued May 6 last directing that
Mr. Dodge be paid the full amount of his
claim, s2o.
the matter then came up before the au-
dtor of the District, who today submitted
the following report upon the case:
THE claim of Mr.. William c. Dodge for
professional services rendered by him on
behalf of the District in the case of w A.
Brickel ct al. against the District of CO.
lumbia properly chargeable to the ac-
count for judicial expenses for 1892, the
year in which the Indebtedness in
CURED, but as the appropriation for that
year has long since lapsed there is no fund
now available for its payment. In the light
of these facts it is clear that the order of
May 6. 1901, is imperative. and no action
can be taken until the meeting of Congress.
When that body conVeneS the claim should
be presented for its consideration and, with
a favora BILE recommendation from the Com
miSSioners, there would seem to be no room
to doubt that it will receive legislative

AN UNAUTHORIZED DUMP,
Mr.. Smiths Letter TO the Conn iss ion
in Regard to 1t.


ers in Regard to 1t.
Mr.. Thomas w. Smith has written to the
District Commissioners stating that the
ash men and others are using dump at
the foot of 1st street southeast, which. he
believes, is not authorized. THE ties and
rails of the Anacostia Railroad Company
OH NJ street between 18th and 9TH streets
are being relaid,' says Mr.. Smith, "and
during the progress of this work 9TH street
southeast, leading to the dump at the foot
of 9Th street southeast, is closed The
closing Of this street temporarily has
thrown the ash men and others to the foot
OF ist street southeast, making new
dump.
Il believe this latter dump is not author
lied by the Commissioners. There is no
in charge to keep the cart men and
the wagon men in order, nor to keep the
dump leveled down. 1t is gradually rising
in height toward the river. Is it the de-
sire of the Commissioners that an ash
dump be located at the foot of 1st street
southeast?
Il am somewhat Indifferent respecting
this dump, but request that if it is the in
tention of the Commissioners to establish
a new dump at the foot of 1st street south
east a man be put In charge of this dump
to keep the cart men and the people who
come to dumps to get coal, etc. in order
and more particularly to keep the level of
the dump at grade.

F. J. and w. D. Heider recently wrote to
the District Commissioners requesting per-
mission to use vitrified pipe for the drain
age of two houses on the Tenleytown road
near the District line. The inspector of
plumbing recommended that permission he
granted the applicants to use a terra Gotta
pipe from a point twenty feet distant from
the house walls to the street gutter for
the wastes of the kitchen sinks. Capt II.
c. Newcomer, in reporting upon the mat
ter, stated that it is not believed to be
practicable to keep a gutter of the type
existing on Tenleytown road near the site
of the two houses in order if waste waters
are discharged into it. The health officer,
in his last Endorsement on the papers, de-
clares that the present project for drain
ing the premises into the cutters Of the
roadway will, if executed result in a
nuisance. He recommends that the appli-
cantS be advised to make formal applica-
tion for permit to maintain some proper

The opening of the Moana Hotel IS an
event in the history of the city. Every
enterprise of this sort merits common
dalton, and it is to be hoped that foolish
or narrow minded legislation will not
cripple the effort. The Territory de-
ponds a great deal upon tourist travel.
The great plantations, and enterprises
like the Iron Works might get along
without tourist travel but the retailers
the men who own horses for hire the
small industry men and women, depend
largely upon the tourist, and some de-
pend entirely upon him. Anything that
will make tourist travel more attractive
counts to the good of the community.
The trouble for a long time has been
that there has not been adequate ac-
commodation in one of the most charm
ing adjuncts of the city. This has at
last been entirely overcome by the
Moana Hotel. In another column will
be found the description of this very
complete home for the voyager from
abroad

Now the complaints that The Star
is voicing come both from residents and
from men of weight and of political and
financial Importance who have lately
arrived. The question has very natur-
ally been why has this deteriora-
ton take place? the old resident sees
the deterioration, the new conner sees
that things are not to his liking.
Yet here is the difficulty, the same
man who was in charge Of the Post
office when it was run by the Republic,
is now at the head of the Postoffice un-
der the Federal Government. In the
first position he was highly thought of
and was considered as an excellent exc
cutive officer. Now his hands are alb
solutely tied and there is no chance for
him to do anything outside of official
red tape.
The mistake with great official
bureaus is that it is impossible for the
heads to understand what are the needs
at the most distant qualifications of a
bureau. There are gifted men, who
can understand. Governor Merriam,
now Director of the Census Bureau and
a very probable Cabinet Minister short
ly, did understand such things, and
when there was anything to be eluci-
dated he summoned to Washington and
talked face to face. 1t would have heen
cheaper and better if the Postmaster
General at Washington had sunni, )ned
Postmaster Oat and talked with } i'm
face to face. 1t would have avoided
some of the difficulties and many of the
unpleasantnesse which are now being
objected to in the Postoffice work of
Hawaii. Our trouble is an utter mis-
understanding of our conditions. 1t
will come all right in time, but mean
while there is much which is all wrong.

THE PosToFFICE.

Some remarks relative to the Post
office which were made in the paper
recently, have not fallen upon barren
soil. A great many people have said
what is the good of complaining. 1t
is a Federal Bureau and Federal Off
GERS run things to suit themselves"
This is where a large majority of
people are utterly wrong. Federal Blu
reaus are forever striving to make
things smoother for the people, they
take far more cognizance of the peo-
pie than local administrations do, be-
cause they act for the whole and not
for a section. What the Federal post
office wishes to give the Territory OF
Hawaii is as perfect a system of letter
carrying and delivery as can be done
and it does not look at the receipts OF
out of the way places, but is quite
ready to supplement them out of the
general fund.
The whole trouble in the Territory
as regards postal matters, is one OF
serious kicks against the condition OF
affairs under the monarchy and under
the Republic. But the complaints UNI
der the Federal administration cap the
climax of all previous objections. 1t
may be safely and conserYatively be
stated that the present postal system,
not only in Honolulu, but throughout
the Territory is infinitely worse than
it was before annexation.

1t is great satisfaction to know that
the Portuguese fishermen, who were
supposed to be lost, have turned up
safely. They had serious time, were
in great peril, but fortunately reached
land. They may have lost property,
but life is better than property. 1t is
marvellous the recuperative nature of
mankind. A man with determination
and health may lose all, even to his
shirt and may yet rise to wealth and
influence. There is never any use in
being downcast.

The fact that the third officer of the
fated Rio, c. ]. Holland, reached safety
after those first rescued may arouse
hopes for others. 1t is very unlikely,
however, that there will be any further
announcement of people being saved.
The accounts of the last moments of
Captain Ward differ considerably. Ac-
cording to officer Holland he was
drowned while trying to save Mrs.
Wildman, and did not go to his cabin.

1t looks as if the Legislative section
of the government meant to run the
executive. Not so long ago portion
of the judiciary wanted to do the same
thing. Are there three sections of the
government or are there not. 1t is
amusing to see how each branch re-
sents any interference, and still more
amusing to see how each branch tries
to tread on the toes of the other.
