REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
WANTS CLARK "FIRED''

Charlie Clark, the ex-boss of Kaihi
camp, will lose his job if the Repuh-
lican Territorial Committee has any in
fiuence with Superintendent of Public
Works Henry E. Cooper. A meeting of
the committee was held in headquarters
yesterday morning at which it was de-
cided to withdraw the Endorsement
through which Clark got his job. Clark
is only a road luna under Charles B.
Wilson, Road Supervisor for Honolulu,
but the Republican Executive Com
mittee is hot after his scalp. They
charge him with being a Home Ruler
and Clark doesn't deny the insinuation
by any means, but freely admits that
he is working for j. H. Boyd for Super
visor.
Clark was fired from his position as
superintendent of the Kalihi camp by
Supt Cooper for failure to account for
rents collected by him. There was a
shortage which Clark explained by say
ing that he had given the money to B.
H. Wright as chief clerk, under ]. H.
Boyd. He didn't exhibit any receipts
in proof of that assertion but for some
reason no action was taken against
him. A smaller shortage, he admitted
was due to an error and he made uu
/ the difference.
C. B. Wilson was appointed road
supervisor for Honolulu after c. B

Dwight had been removed by Cooper.
One of his first official acts was the
appointment of Chas. Clark as luna.
Then it is related that he was called
upon the carpet by Supt. Cooper and
asked to explain why he had appointed
a man who had just been removed for
irregularities in office. Wilson was
asked to explain. He did. He pulled
out of his pocket an endorsement q
Charlie Clark, by the Republican Ter
ritoriaI Committee for the position as
luna. Cooper, who appointed Wilson.
upon similar endorsement, said nek
more.
The committee, at the meeting held
yesterday morning, decided to notify
Clark had been withdrawn, which is
the committees polite way of demand
ing that Clark be asked to quit. The
request would have gone to Wilson. TO
whom the original endorsement was
made, but the committee has doubts
about the acceptance of their sugges-
ton by c. B. Wilson, who also has
Home Rule tendencies.
1t Is probable that action will be TAX
en- upon Wilson's case at a later meet
ing. He is also said to have confessed
to Republican leaders that he is sup-
porting Jimmie" Boyd He also re-
ceived his appointment upon the rec
concentration of the Territorial Exec
utive Committee.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
athers. Sell may be the same
nd seed may seem the same
5ut some plants are weak and
theirs strong.
And that's the way with

1lants. Same food, same home,
lme care but some grow big
md strong while others stay
mall and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
lsy way out of the difficulty.
~hild weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
II food, but because the food
ices not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
nd gives the child growing

ness and failure to grow

would have to borrow for delivery. On
the other hand, the buying orders were
part, and the recovery came to stop Tor
lack of motive power. a squirt in the
stocks Of New York public utilities helped
the recovery, the decision of the appel
late division of the supreme court at Al
bany against the cOnstitutiOnality of the
New York franchise tax being the reason
for buying of these stocks. This move
mcnt however. spent it's force almost inn

into a. deeper rut of idlenesS than at any
time since the first of the year. Yester-
days few strong spots We're lacking.
