nation having reached the police de

Captain Sewell. The commission was
in session yesterday from to 3 o'clock
and today it convened at 10 O'Clock and
adjourned at 12:45 until p m. Mon

cision as to the selection or a site for
the new building before it adiourns
sine die. a report will be prepared aud
given 70 the public
An engineering feat OF no small oro-
portions is contemplated by the erection
OF the building tunnel viii connect
with the Capitol and in this will be
tram-raiIway TO convey the members
from the Offices 10 the elevator which
ascends 20 the House chamber.
But difficult as is the plan il does
not compare with that which the Penn
sylvania Railroad has under consider
alton. In order TO convey its Southern
passengers through the city and to
reach the union station site it is neces-
sary to make a wide detour or tunnel
The latter is the only route seriously
considered and though enormously
costly 81 is the cheaper and more direct
of the two.

LONG TERM
WAS A SUCCESS
JUDGE DE BOLTS LIST OF CASES
DISPOSED OF SHOWS WORK
CHEAPLY DONE.

P. D. Kellett, clerk to Judge De Bolt
has been doing some figuring on the
business of the long term just ended,
showing the amount of work done and
the cost of running the court. The
fiugres show that the long term scheme
was a great success and that the court
ran along very cheaply, trying cases at
a cost of about $34.50 each, including
jury feets and including also the cost
of work done on cases which We're not
actually tried, but were otherwise dis
posed of.
A total Of 1862 cases on De Bolts
calendar at the beginning of the term,
and 81 of them were disposed of final
ly at a cost of $1,796. This is an aver
age of only $22 per case. Fifty-two of
the cases were actually tried, most of
them with juries. Twenty were
discontinued or dismissed, 81 We're con-
tineud for the term, II were assigned
to other judges and five remian pending
on the calendar.

TIDAL WAVE
WRECKS WHARF
GOVERNMENT WHARF RECENTLY
COMPLETED AT COST OF $4,000
DESTROYED BY HEAVY SEAS.

| The tidal wave that visited Maui De-
cember 10, did more damage than was
first reported. The fine new landing
at Keawakapu was washed away en-
tirely by the heavy seas. News of the
affair was brought today by Purser
Birmingham of the steamer Lehua.
The tidal wave struck the wharf a.
bout 4 o'clock in the morning. There
( was nobody on the wharf at the time
so the size of the wave could not be
learned. In any event the force of
the sea must have been terrific for the
entire wharf including the cement pill
ing was torn loose and swept many
yards inland onto the rocks at the
gulch. About 12O feet of the landing
was ripped up by the wave. The
wharf was a total loss. Considerable
material was recovered however.
| Keawakapu is a landing between Ma
kena and Kihei. The wharf was built
only recently by the government 1t
cost in the neighborhood of $1,000.
1t was the same heavy sea that
wrecked the wharf that caused trouble
for the steamer Kinau at Makena. One
lof the boat crews was swept inland
and one of the boats dashed on the
rocks.
