WATER IS SHORT
TILL MONEY CONES
Firemen Got Back Wages and
the Pumps Were
Started.

For an hour yesterday morning the
Makiki and Kalihi pumping stations
were shut down. and as consequence
there was a shortage of water in many
houses.
The cause for the stopping of work
was the unwiliingness of the firemen to
continue their work while no money
was in sight after six weeks of labor.
and so they decided to stop. which they
did on Wednesday evening.
Many houses were dry during the
early morning hours, but at o'clock.
having secured definite assurances that
the money would be Forthcoming. supt-
Brown went tc the various stations and
persuaded the men to resume work
The money was procured from the
bank on Superintendent Cooper's per-
sonal check and then the $72o went to
the men direct Supt. Brown said that
this was really all that he wanted.

AMARA CLAIM
MAY BE KILLED

There is being aroused considerable
discussion over the disposition that
may be made of the petition of Mrs
Kekie Amara, administrator OF the
estate of Jesse Amara, for reimburse
ment for losses during the plague fire.
The allegations of those who favor the
claim are that the failure to have IT
properly filed before the Fire Claims
court was due to the detention of let
ters in the mail so that the statute OF
limitation in the bill ran against the
claim.
The subject was referred to special
committee which has made some prog
ress with the investigation of the mat
ter 1t is said that the claim was pre-
scented too late by an attorney. who it
is claimed might readily have put it
before the court, had it not been over
looked.
The broader question however is the
propriety of reopening fire claims mat
tiers. One member will argue that no
appropriation can be made as the pro-
vision for the payment involves new
legislation. The point seems to be that
the Legislature having put all these
matters in the hapds of court and
to take them out of that category, there
would be necessary legislation at q
regular session of the Legislature. One
attorney believes that the only course
would be to create the fire claims court
once more for the discussing Of this
claim, if it would be put on all tours
with others of the same nature. 1t
seems likely that the House may refuse
to reopen the question of fire claims,
for if it does there will be several doz-
en- rushed in

HACKFELD WHARF ORATORY.
The Hackfeld wharf was taken up
with a rush. the first motion being to
pass it at $103 S04.22. This is the COM
mittee's bill as Expert Ouderkfrk ar
ranged it, the items being made up as
follows: Materials, SIS, 301; labor, $22-
9OS.51; commission on labor to Cotton
Bros. $5,594.71 Fernandez moved to
strike out as no Legislature had ever
authorized this expense
Aylett argued that the wharf should
be paid for, saying he would be de-
lighted If there was sufficient money,
so that all the water front could be
purchased for the Territory, saying
these were good investments, he favor
ing the item in the bill.
Paele asked for an amendment and
urged the reduction of the amount.
Greenwich moved to amend by cutting
the amount to 500, 81, saying instead
of twenty-five per cent for the contrac-
tors he wanted only ten per cent.
The committee rose however and the
House adjourned, though an effort was
made to secure a recess.

That Attorneys Get Fees Only

KiaihaIe, who sold beer, alleged

Athletic Club in Kakaako was fined
$3.50 by Judge De Bolt yesterday, on
his promise to have nothing more to do
with liquor. The native boy was cap

possession which he claimed belonged
to the club. Evidence was introduced
yesterday showing that the beer was
sold to outsiders as we'll as to the
members of the Kapiolani Athletic
Club The defendant said it was

for beer drinking purposes.
The jury found him guilty though
with a recommendation to mercy.
Judge De Bolt read a little temperance
lecture in passing sentence. 1T seems
as if no one can even touch liquor with

drink it tut yet got into trouble, and /
want you to promise now never as

he would leave the fine at $3.50 If he
thought it would be assessed against
the members of the Kapiolani Athletic

ATTORNEYS MUST WAIT.

The Circuit Court, sitting en- banc,
decided yesterday that attorneys fees
are not taxable until after Judgment
has been rendered. The ruling was
made in the Lin Wo Chan case where
in the attorneys had asked all three
judges to sit in order to establish a
rule for future cases. Lin Wo Chan
sued The New Zealand Insurance Co.
on its policy which the defendant had
offered to pay, but rendered only the
amount of costs not including attorneys
fees The court decided that plaintiff
was not entitled to attorneys fees be-
fore the judgment was obtained, and
held for defendant. The ruling was
based on the ground that the statute
allows attorneys fee of ten per cent
upon the first hundred dollars and two
and a half per cent upon the remain
der of the Judgment, and as the fee
is based upon the judgment it could not
be levied beforehand.

IT REVOLUTIONIZES
 THESTONE INDUSTRY
TERRAoLA, THE INVENTION OF A BIRMINGHAM ATTORNEY, GAN BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE AND IS MUCH CHEAPER.

s. C. Davison, a Birmingham attorney and ex-member of the legislature, will soon be ready to put his patent artificial stone on the market. Terraola is the name under which it will be known, and if the claims made for it are not over drawn it will revolutionize the stone and concrete industry.
 A patent has been granted and com- pany will be incorporated with a capital stock of $2OO,0o0. A plant will be erected south of Birmingham for the manufac- ture of columns, cornices and general or namental work
 Terraola is made of dirt, sand, slag, cinders or any kind of earth, and can be polished to look like glass.
 MT. Davson, the patentee has speci- mems at the state fair, and when seen yesterday was very positive regarding the usefulness of his invention. ''W e claim for it." he said, strength superior to stone, but with more durability and a slight degree of elasticity. It is absolute ly impervious to water or damp and it is both acid and electric proof.

lessening the noise of trains. Consul General Hughes of Coburg writes to the state department:
 Complaints have been frequent con- corning the noise made by the elevated structure. The first experiment consisted in inserting three layers of felt between the rails and the wooden crossties on which they were laid This was inade- quate, however, although it gave some im- provement Next, hollow iron girders filled with loose sand were substituted for the wooden sleepers; this was also partially effective, but not entirely so.
 '"rhe rails were then laid on longitudin- al sleepers with cushions of lead under them Finally the car wheels have been lined with wood so as to break the con- tinuity of the path Tor vibrations through metal These experimental rem edies are still on trial but no definite conclusions concerning them have been announced"
