ELECTRICITY IN A MONTH
RAPID TRANSIT SERVICE CLOSE
AT HAND.
Final Arrangements for Installing Cars.
Manager Ballentyne Talks of the
Situation.

Fires were lighted in one of The en-
gines at the power house of the Rapid
Transit Company yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of testing the boilers
and pipes. The test was entirely salts
factory, although it has naen deemed
necessary to strengthen some of The
pipes and connections. This is being
done today. On Saturday the other
cess is as good as in the first instance
everything in the machinery depart
ment of the house will be adjudged safe
and ready for business.
We expect to have cars running
within month";" said Superintendent
Ballentyne this morning. -Four cars
are now about ready and fifteen more
are being put together. About half of
the wiring is finished. Our worst diff
Guilty just now is the obstruction of
telephone wires. In many of the
streets the poles are so low that the
wires cross our lines. All of these will
have to be raised.
'Liliha street one of the first to be
put in shape, has almost a net work
of these low wires. that street being one
of the principal ones of the telephones

today to ascertain just when we can

REPUBLICANS 70 FRONT TRIED 'IOPASST#BUCK"
CAPTURE SENATE AND DO AS
THEY PLEASE.
Pass Military Appropriation, Fix Fire
House Salaries and Provide for New
Fire Equipment.

The principal happening In the Senate
yesterday afternoon was the adoption
of the minority report on military,
which sustains the National Guard
giving to it nearly as much money as
was recommended by the Governor in
his estimates. Cecil Brown and Will
liam White brought up the matter
soon after the SESSION opened, and in
less than ten minutes the appropra-
ton had gone through and Senator Ka-
nuha had left the Senate chamber in
high dudgeon.
The Home Rulers charged that the
Republicans had acted in bad faith in
rushing the item through at a time
wnen they were short handed AS a
matter of fact the Republicans have
had majority on the item for weeks
and the Home Rulers were waiting to
do exactly what they accused the Re
publicans of doing. Kalauokalani. Ka-
nuha and John Y. Brown fought the
item very hard to the last. Even after
kanuna had taken his hat and drama
tically walked out, feeling, perhaps a
martyr to true patriotism ana principle,
he returned and tried again to have the
matter reCOnsidered But all efforts
to change the situation failed
After the military item had gone
through Mr.. Achi moved that the re-
mainder of the items i'm the appropria-
ton bill pass. This was a sumner that
brought several Home Rulers and most
of the Republicans to their feet. The
motion was lost.
Clarence Crabbe, for the special COM
mittee on fire house salaries, reported
a detailed schedule which does not diff
fer materially from the old list. In adj
dttion, however We're the following re-
concentrations which were adopted:
Purchase of Hook and Ladder Aeri-
al Truck, $4,000; horses for above.
$500; harness and hangers, $3.50; furni-
ture and sundries, 5000. Total, SO, $50.
Pay Roll for above 2 years, $11 400
Rebuilding of Station No. l, at cor
ner South and Kawaiahao streets,
100000; Establishment of Hose
Company on Nuuanu Avenue above
Judd Street: Building, $3O00 Pay
Roll and Equipments, $3.50; Fire AL
arm System, 100 boxes. distributed
$12,65O. The amount includes Build-
ings and Pay Roll, also Equipments
Material and Supplies. 100000 This
amount includes horse feed, harness
new, harness repairs, telephones,
drugs and chemicals, supplies, repairs
of apparatus 500 feet new hose, horses,
2 heaters placing heaters, electric
and sundries.
Your special committee therefore re-
commend the passage of the foregoing
items amounting to $1S9,SS0 this being
$50 100 less than asked for by the Board
of Fire Commissioners.
The report of the special committee
on nilots and fees also passed.

HOW BUS DRIVER SOUGHT TO
ESCAPE.
Wanted a Youth to Take Blame of fit
ting a Chinese-What Court Thinks
of Palama Buses.

n. Richard a youth and Frank Barate
one of the drivers of the Palama BUSES
had a Juggling match before JUDGE
Wilcox yesterday. Both were busy
for about ten minutes trying to Pass
the Buck" to each other. So vigorously
did each protest his innocence of any
wrong doing that the court continued
the case.
Barate was charged with assault and
battery on All Chan who claimed that
Barate had cut him over the leg with
whip while All Chan was trying to
pass the defendants bus. Barate
brought young Richard into court as
his star witness In fact, Barate tried
to give Richard a chance to show true
nobility of soul. The defendant claim
ed that Richard and not he had stuck
the Chinese. Richard did not object to
being the star witness but he demurred
when it came to taking the blame.
The YOUNG man claimed that he had
been driving the buss when the Chi
nese came along. In trying to hurry
the bus out of the way of a street car
Richard had hit the mules with a whip
but he had not hit the Chinese. He
was sure of it.
"Oh | am not so sure of that re-
marked the court. Il am not so sure
but it was a Chinese mule you were
hitting with your whip. You boys are
too fresh altogether on those buses
Complaints constantly are made to me
about how you act to Chinese. You hit
them with whips and throw mangoes
at them or annoy them in some way.
That sort of thing has got to stop.
The Chinese have just as much right
on the road as you have"
Richard stuck to his story however
that he had not hit the Chinese while
Barate maintained that he had had
nothing to do with the assault. The
court remarked that both were trying
to ship the blame on each other and
the next thine they would be doing
would be to blame the Chinese with
having hit himself with the whip.

HENDRY'S COURT GAvEL.
Souvenir Hunters After His Small
Hammer.

United States Deputy Marshal f. r.
Hendry has gavel that is much in
demand, but he is holding on to ii and
has refused many offers for it, 1t is a
small gaVel made of Hawaiian wood
and 1t derives its value from the fact
that it was used to open the first SEES
sion of federal court in Hawaii. Hen
dry says he will keep the gaveI and
some day he will have it silver mount
ed
After the first opening of Estee's
court number of local people had their
eyes on the gavel with which Hendry
hit the table when he got off the hear
We, hear We" with which Uncle Sam S
courts open and adjourn. Sam Parker
was one of the souvenir hunters and he
tried to get --.e gavel before he left for
Washington. Since then Hendry has
kept his eye on it, and as he sits at
his table in front of Judge Estee he
always has an eye peeled for the
hammer"
Hendry bought the knocker himself,
with which to do the necessary amount
of hammering and it is his own prop
erty. Some day, with silver mOuntings
it will adorn Hendry's home as a SOU
Venir and in the future, when Hawaii
gets to be a state, if Hawaii ever does,
the gavel that was first used to call to
order United States court in the Ter
ritory of Hawaii will be an arucle of
much interest
