COMMITTED ON
SERIOUS CHARGE
CHINESE ACCUSED OF GIVING
FALSE TESTIMONY IN CASE
AGAINST ALLEGED GAMBLER.

The prosecution against the Chinese
gamblers continues with undiminished
activity by the attorney generals de-
partment. This morning Chow Kong
was before Judge Wilcox to answer to
a charge of perjury. Chow was ac-
cused by Attorney General Andrews
with having sworn falsely at the trial
of All Ping on March II. Chow was
asked on that occasion if he Chow had
any acquaintance with the Tuck Lee

parchment. 1t is claimed by the pro-
seCution that he was on the contrary

The defendant was committed to the

LINES
AND PLINTHS
REPLY OF SUPERINTENDENT
COOPER TO A HOUSE OF REPRE-
SENTATIVES INQUIRY.

superintendent Cooper replied this
morning to the House resolution asking
whether the lines of several buildings
project on the street lines, sending re-
port on the subject from Surveyor
Wall, containing the following:
Since receiving your letter of the
23rd inst. asking for a report on the
location of the Judd, Levers d Cooke
and e. O. Hall IL Son buildings with
reference to the street lines on which
they front i'm this city, the necessary
check measurements have been made,
and l have to report that we find those
buildings to be either on or within the
lines approved by your department. At
the time these buildings We're erected,
it was customary to allow the plinths
to extend into the street when such
plinths were not considered wide
enough to materially reduce the use
full width of the sidewalk.
For example, a plinth of three inches
in width which does not rise above the
sidewalk more than a foot, is not gem
orally speaking, considered an obstruc-
ton for the reason that ones shoulder
or hip would brush against the perpen-
diCular wall on the street line before
the feet could touch the plinth. 1t is
not necessary to explain that tall
plinth or plaster would be an obstruc-
ton if allowed to project into the
street.
This matter of the location. of build
ings has been under discussion many
times, owing to the various widths of
piasters, heights and widths of plinths,
but it was not until after permission
was given Messrs. Levers d Cooke to
construct their building to the present
lines that a ruling was made by the
Superintendent of Public Works not to
allow any portion of a building to en-
croach on the sidewalk or street.
Under the circumstances l would re-
spectfullv suggest that you publish
note to Architects and Builders, so
that they might conform to such rules
and regulations in this matter that you
may decide to put in force. l wish to
make special mention of the difference
in the establishment of the line of
Alakea street where the kapiOlani
building stands and the line of King
street between Alakea and Fort streets
on which the E. o. Hall & Son building
stands.
"The r. o. Hall e Son building has
been CONSTRUCTED within the lines oc-
cupied by the old buildings. 1t is en-
tirely within the boundary of the lot
claimed by the owners and shown on
the Government Survey Title Map Reg
istered 1899. The Government has not
at any time disputed the ownership of
the land on which this building stands.
In fact. according to our own map the
Estate has kept back of their title line
and thereby allowed a portion of their
lot to become public roadway

THE OUTFALL
SEWER CONTRACT
HOUSE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC
EXPENDITURES REPORTS ON
THE SUBJECT.

The House received a report this
morning from Chairman Vida of the
Public Expenditures committee on the
sewer outfall contract, stating that the
contract had not been carried out, but
that the bond had never been forfeited.
With the report was a report from Ac-
countant Sims, showing the CORES
pOndence on the subject, which Sims
stated suddenly ceased, with no record
that any effort was ever made to have
the bond forfeited. Sims concluded his
report as follows:,
From the foregoing, it is shown that
the Governments interests in the pre-
misses, with reference to the bond, were
left strangely unprotected by the au-
thOrities in charge. Whether or not
anything can be done at this time to
Iectify the matter is / presume a sub
ject of consideration by the Attorney
General" Consideration of the report
was postponed.
The finance. committee reported the
bill for the relief of John Cummins,
stating that it was improperly drawn
and recommending that ii be returned
to the intrOduCer. The report was
tabled to be considered with the bill,
House bill 100, by Kali, was reported
unconstitutional by the same commit
tee, and the report was adopted. A
report was also received against the
bill raising the income tax exemption
to $4,000, and ii was tabled for future
consideration.
The judiciary committee reported in
favor of the Dickey holidays bill.

Letter TO r. ID. kits,
Tazewell, Va.

DeaI Sir:-Your business is, when a
house burns down, TO give the owner
some money to build n new one. 1t Is n
good business. Queer that the world
got on 80 long without 1t.
We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too. What is better,
we paint the house that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn; We
insure the houses that don't. You
have the ashes and smoke; all the
houses are ours.
We paint lead.and- zinc; Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't
paint.
Lcad-and- oil is the old-fasion paint
Devoe is zinc ground In with lead and
linseed oil: the best paint in the world:
and the cheapest, becauseit takes fewer
gallons than mixed paints and it wears
twice as long as lead-and-oil. Nobody
wants poor paint; there's lots OF 1t,
though, in the world.
A. NJ. Griffin, Plainfeld, N. j., writes:
"Mr. Aaron Higgins, of Plainfeld.
always used Is gallons of mi xed paint for
his house. Last spring he bought is
gallons or DevOe and bad gallons left. q"
