Contract Will Be Signed
Today and Three
Months Given.
Success of the First Tank Leads
Cable Company to Give
Bowler Work.

John F. Bowler has been awarded
the contract to construct the three
new cement cable tanks for the Com
mercial Pacific Gable Company. on the
latter's property at Iwilei
The contract, which is a private one,
will be signed today by Mr.. Gaines for
the company. and the contractor will
commence work on the three storage
a bond to complete all three within
three months.
Although Mr.. Bowler's bid was
among the highest of those submitted
during the week by local contractors,
it was decided to permit him to build
them owing to the success which he
attained in the construction of the one
already in use at Iwilei.
The practical tests of this tank show
that since it was filed with the cable
and this covered with water, there has
been absolutely no loss of water except
by the natural evaporation, indicating
that the tank is absolutely perfect. 1t
is believed that the contract is close to
$15.15o. which was Bowler's bid, among
other tenders.

READY FOR
WORK UPON
COUNTIES
Hawaiian Bill Is
Promised for
Today.
Plan to Make This the
Continuing Order
of Business.
Two Weeks Work Contemplated
by the House Upon
The Law.

With the Hawaiian versions of the
county measure promised to the Leg
islature today. plans were made yester-
for the pushing of consideration of the
bill in both branches
The Lower House will take UP the
measure in committee of the whole,
and the amendments TO it there will be
made with all members participating.
so that there is little doubt but the
action win be rapid and the result
highly satisfactory to all the mem
bers. AS the interest in this bill is
great, without doubt the effect of con-
sideration in committee of the whole
will prevent Misunderstanding. and
thus facilitate final agreement.
AS soon as he can get the floor Mr.
Chillingworth, who is in charge of the
measure. will move that it be made the
order of the day until it has been dis
posed of in committee, which will
mean that Immediately thereafter the
bill will pass. If this motion prevails,
the bill will be read a second time by
title and then referred to the commit
tee, and at once the House will take
IN its consideration
The Senate committee is now almost
ready to report the bill, the fact that
the Hawaiian version was lacking hav-
ing delayed action thus far. AS soon |
as the measure is taken up, both |
houses will keep in touch through |
so that there will be little |
work for the final official conference.
1t has been agreed among the MEM
bers Of the House that these unofficial
conferences shall be carried on by
Messrs. Chillingworth, Keliinoi, Aylett,
lumalae. Long. Kupihea and Purdy
1n their behalf. and this course. it is
thought. will mean that little work
will have to be done over. as each body
Will be aware. as the legislation pro-
crosses. o. the temper of the other.
The Senate is in shape for rapid work
low. Under resolution after Monday
lext the county law. the loan bill and
he appropriation bill must be the or
Ter until all are completed.
1t is thought that the House can
complete its work on the county law in
wo weeks.

Often Padded Pay Rolls With
 Bogus Cheeks
THREE HELD GOOD JOBS
An Italian Who Presented a Time Slip for Money Took Fright and Scur-
 ried Away When Cues
 toned Too Closely. 4 4

Chicago April Exchanged with stuff lng the eompany's pay rolls by means of bogus pay checks three men holding re- sponsible positions with the Illinois Gem tral railroad, have been placed under arr rest and were this afternoon held to the grand jury. The total of peculation from the corporation, it is thought, will amount to many thousands of dollars. Had not an Italian, who rendered a check to Treasurer Titus of the company, become frightened and run away, the stuffing of the pay rolls, it is said, might have gone on for a long time undiscovered.
 The employees under arrest are D.. O'Horn, Charles oHorn. Mark Walsh.
 The two first named are road superin- tendents and the third is a section fore man. All were in charge of large num- Der of men.
 Treasurer Titus of the company was the first to suspect that the pay rolls were irregular Three months ago an Italian called at the treasurer's office and pre- sented a time slip for his check. He was asked his name, and unable, it is said. 10 think of the name he had been told to give, became confused and fled from the office. This caused the investigation which resulted in the arrest of three em- rloyes
 The men had been under surveillance for over a month. their movements being traced by detectives of the road. Special Agent O'Keefe, who investigated the case, says the method utilized by the culprits was to place fictitious names on the pay rolls, and having the authority to make out checks, gave them to friends to present to the treasurer of the road. Men who had been discharged but whose names were never forwarded to the com pany were among those used in securing money.
 Walsh and the O'Horns have been em- ployed with the Illinois Central railroad for number of years and always bore good regulations.

Sir Edwins acquaintance with the dog fanciers was large, and he summoned to his aid one Jem Smith, who he thought might put him on the right track. He showed the man the picture and the bank note and promised that If the dog was restored no questions should be asked Six weeks later Smith arrived at the studio lead ing the missing dog by a piece of string.

 There is a church in the outskirts of Vienna where q story Is still told of a priest who many years ago unwittingly stampeded his congregation. Those who know the wonderful hold which lotteries have upon the people of some continental countries will be able to understand the excitement which prevailed at the time of which the story is told. when the lottery was being drawn. A well known priest, Father Loritz. took advantage of the occasion to enter upon a crusade against gambling, in spite of the fact that women were praying daily in the church for success in their speculation. In one of his sermons it is said, the priest exclaimed indignantly: If you wo- men only hear such numbers as 2S. 60, 92 you all leave and go to take them. The words had hardly left his lips before there was a rush to the door and a frantic competition for the lucky num- bers.
 Chaplain Russell of the Missouri house of representatives recently demonstrated the efficacy of prayer by a supplication that is said to have transformed the att titude of the members of the house, a majority of whom formerly read the pa- pers during the chaplains petition: 70 1 Lord he prayed.

WILL VANDERBILT
 BE MARRIED SOON2
Question Still Exercises Ameri-
 can Colony at Paris
REFUSES IOAFFlRM OR DENR
Woman of Mrs. Rutherford's House hold characterizes Reports as Silly Rumors-Americans Think the
 Wedding Will Take Place.

Paris, April 2t.-The American colony here has been considerably exercised by the persistent reports of the approaching marriage of William K. Vanderbilt. Most of these reports came from New York following the court proceedings, but all persons here have declined to give any definite information on the subject
 At late hour this afternoon when call was made at the Vanderbilt residence and request sent in for information concerning the current rumors. word was returned from MT. Vanderbilt that he was so busily engaged that he had been obliged to deny himself to all representa- tives of the press and to decline either to affirm or deny the reports.
 Practically the same response was given at the residence of Mrs Rutherford Those occupying confidential relations with Mr. Vanderbilt declined further to discuss the reports of his marriage, as they consider that MT. Yanderbits note to the Associated Press yesterday. saying the reports were untrue sufficiently covers the case
 When this note was written Mir Van derblt was aware of the reports printed in New York yesterday, that he was to be married here tomorrow and his denials specifically contradicted them. Nothing further will be given out regarding the reports or the proceedings before the New York courts
 American Embassy Knows Nothing.
 TT AIf Taft States embassy and Secretary Vignaud said they know nothing regarding MT. Vanderbilt's interests in Paris, and he has not been consulted regarding the legal formalities for marriage. which are in- dispensable under the French law, nor are officials of the embassy or consulate aware of any papers relative to such marriage.
 According to the French law, mar riage must occur within the ward where one of the parties to the contract re- sides At the headquarters of thN Eighth ward, wherein is situated the Vanderbilt residence the officials have no informa- ton of such marriage. There is the same absence of information at the head quarters of the Sixteenth ward in which Mrs. Rutherford resides.
 Another Residence at Poissy.
 MT. Vanderbilt has another residence at Poissy, but efforts to reach the of- ficials of Poissy were unavaiing.
 When a request was made tonight at the residence of Mrs. Rutherfurd for a confirmation or denial of the report, word was returned that no answer would be given. One of the women in the house expressed indignation at the reports, and characterized them as silly rumors. It is understood that Mrs. Rutherford denies being engaged to Mir. Vanderbilt.
 Notwithstanding the reticence of all parties concerned, the members of the American colony hold strongly to the opinion that MT. Vanderbilt shortly will be married.

Women, Legislation and Marriage.

Edith M. Hadley in Gunton's Magazine.
 The tardy, but gradual and increasing, recognition Of the legal status of woman has evoked much legislation in regard to the domestic relations. the result of which has been to practically abolish the theory of entity of man and wife, so long a popular fiction in legal ter minology and practice. The philosopher Hume states that between married per- sons the cement of friendship is by the laws, supposed so strong as to abolish all division of possessions. and has often in reality the force assigned to it." In his criticism of this statement. Huxley speaks in the more modern spirit when he says: Family affection in the Eighteenth cen
