Marston Campbell, Deputy Superin-
tendent of Public Works, was asked
by an Advertiser reporter yesterday
afternoon for whatever reply he might
choose to make to the accusations
brought against him in the House Of
Representatives. AS he had not yet
seen any published reports, Mr.. Camp
bell inquired as to what particular
charges were made which called for
answer. Upon being told that Rep
resentative Vida said he had sent Mr..
tendence which was the Deputy Su-
perintendent's own duty, also that the
same member and Representative Ka-
niho and Kumalae accused him of un-
der-estimating the cost of Nuuanu
avenue bridge, Mr. Campbell made the
following statement:
''It is impossible in the public works
for one man to cover the whole coun-
try. Take the instances of Hilo men
toned. The water works and the re-
and storm drainage and Pukihae arch
were in hand at the same time. They
required the constant attention of one
man and I placed Mr.. Gere in charge
of them.
ALSO the Lahaina water works,
where a man was put in charge who
was thoroughly competent by train
ing and experience to attend to the
work. The result is that the water
works We're constructed in accordance
with the plans and specifications and
are a complete success, and at cost
for inspection, etc, that is not un-
reasonable.
Important public works are often
in progress at many different places.
Every large undertaking requires that
an efficient man be placed in charge
of construction, to see that the work
is carried out as planned. If Mr..
Vida or any other gentleman would
take the trouble to investigate the
conditions, he could not in his wisdom
help agreeing that the course adopted

O'Clock was a half hour more in get
ting a quorum, and when it opened

gaveI it was with the bare sixteen
members. the stenographer acting as
clerk and representative Oil as chap
lain.
The Senate returned the House bill
No. the six months expense bill, with
many amendments in proper form, and
it took until the regular hour for
meeting to read and interpret so that
there was a fairly full attendance
when KeIiinoi moved non-concurrence
with the Senate amendments Kuma-
fAe moved to defer action for two days
and this carried.
The Committee on Public Lands re-
ported favorably upon resolution H.
by PuIaa, asking for $500, to reimburse
Mrs. Kamakaheikuli for land taken
for road purposes. which report was
adopted and the item ordered into the
unpaid bills.

The House then took up the salaries
bill the first thing considered being
the salary of the Superintendent or
Public Works. There were volley OF
amendment, they finally settling down
to the question of reduction to $1,sO0,
as Harris suggested that there should
be uniformity, which carried by 16 to
s.
Fernandez then moved to reconsi-
der the vote upon the salary Of the
Treasurer, which being agreed to at
once he moved to reduce to $1.sOO On
this motion the ayes were twelve, the
noes twelve, and the chair declared
the motion lost. Kumalae raised the
point that the chairman had voted,
which was contrary to rules. This
partfcfpitated a discussion on proce-
dure which was long and to say the
least peculiar. ending with defering
consideration of the item until after
noon.
ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT

Kupihea moved to strike out the

Assistant Superintendent and Vida
seconded, saying that the office was
unnecessary suggesting that the
two offices, assistant superintendent
and road supervisor be combined, as
there are a host of clerks falling over
themselves in the two offices. He said
I such combination would be in the in
terest of economy. He said $50. 900 had
been spent on the Nuuanu bridge on
ations were being torn out He thought
a good road engineer would do all the
work and cheaper too.
Kumalae supported the motion, say
ing that there was too much sending
for subordinates and transmission of
orders which could be sent out direct.
He said no assistant was needed to
have the orders from the superinten-
dent transmitted to the subordinates.
In important matters the superintel-
dent acted directly, then why have so
many officers.
NEEDS COMPETENT ASSISTANT.
Gandall argued that there was ne
cessary a competent assistant, to re-
present the superintendent in his alb
sence. He argued at length in favor
of a strong staff of officials as being
conducive to the best interests of the
people. Lewis was in favor of strIk-
ing out, saying the road boards are
the superintendents deputies, yet the
assistant superintendent is in the
habit of going TO the districts AMI do
ing things directly contrary to the
wishes of the people. He also cited
the Nuuanu street bridge as an in
stanse of poor estimating, and said
one official would do the work better.
Harris said no business house would
attempt to ask one man to do work
equivalent to that of the Public Works
department, without competent assist
ants. The assistant superintendent,
he said, was the governments repre-
sentative on all contracts. Vida in
terrupted once to say that the assist
ant superintendent delegated his duty
Of inspection to underlings. Harris
once said that he did not come to the

Two DAYS in a hurricane on Great Salt

IN twice on desolate and rockbound
coasts. tossed about like corlSs on death

Such were few of the thrilling expert
ences that fell to the lot of the party OF
city and county officials who started upon
a cruise In the launch Cambria III to the
Iucin cutoff last Saturday. Twice were
they driven upon the rocks and were
forced to get into the briny water and
nush the ship off to prevent 1t from being
ground to pieces. The sails were blown

was at the mercy of the wind, riding
sea that threatened to swamp the boat at
any minute.
The ships boat was lost and Sunday the
marty was forced to swim to Antelope is

MARIANA DRAWS
LARGE AUDIENCE

The repetition of Mariana last even
ing at the Opera House drew a large
audience in spite of the rainy weather
and created the same favorable impress
sion as when first presented. The per-
Torrance was given under the 5irec-
ton of Mrs. AnniS Montague Turner
and Mrs. Edward d. Tenney for the
benefit of the Hospital for Incurables
and the Kapiolani Maternity Home.
The same wealth of costumes which
flashed so brilliantly from behind the
foot lights on the first two presenta-
tions was apparent last evening, but
most noticeable of all was the excel
lence of the solos and choruses. Mrs.
Turner was in splendid voice and re-
ceive unstinted applause throughout
the opera. Mr.. and Mrs. Elston, in their
respective roles of Don Caesar and the
boy Lazarillo, were favorites and the
audience showed its appreciation of
their singing by continued applause.
Mr.. Rockwell, Mrs. Benson, Allan
Dunn, Ernest Ross, Hugo Herzer,
George Kunkel, Lieut. Newton and c.
Tracy, all contributed excellent sup
port to the success of the opera
