PRESIDENT JOHNSON
SCORES FRED POSTAL
Says He Owes the American
League Big Money.
TRANSPORTATION UNPAID.
This and Other Bills Forwarded to De-
troit Man, All of Which He Re-
fuses TO Pay.

The story printed exclusively in The
Times yesterday afternoon Of the loose.
slip-shod manner in which Fred Postal,
the former president and chief stock
holder of the Washington Baseball Club,
is accused by Ban Johnson of running
the team has created no end of comment
in baseball circles in re istrict.
President Johnson openly says that
Mr.. Postal had done the American
League. All of the expenses incurred for
the transportation of the Washington
club will have to be borne by the
league OF which Mr.. johnson is presi-
dent. Throughout the present season
the American has paid the travelling ex-
penses of the Senator's. When a bill
was forwarded TO Mr.. Postal for money
to pay for the teams transportation by
the high mogul of the organization the

from the Golfers Of the American League

signed Delehanty, Wolverton. Orth, and
Townsend the crack quartet from the
Philadelphia club. he did not have the
money with which to pay them their
advance salaries. as they came to Wash
ington on the day before payday. Man
ming attempted at once TO reach Postal
by mail and telegraph. but as the presi-
dent of the local club was stopping
! somewhere in the woods OF Michigan he
was unable to reach him. Manning then
requested Ban Johnson, it is alleged.
10 forward money to pay the re
mainder of the Washington players
their monthly salaries. Johnson for
warded the money and the next day
Manning paid their salaries in full. Pos
tai however. according to Johnson's
statement, has never paid the American
League the debt which he owes It for
either salaries or transportation

DIDN'T SPEND
1T FOOLlShLY

Levi Daniel was ar: szte1 by Officer
Joy yesterday on a charge OF larceny
in the first degree. A couple OF days ago
he entered the home Of Anna Aqua in
Kalihi, while a luau was in progress,
and took SIG from a bureau drawer
No one saw him do it, but he seemed
to be spending money rather freely
and he was taken into custody. With
hardly any urging he confessed that
he had taken the money.
did you spend 1t on wahine,' Joy
asked him.
NO" the prisoner replied. IL did
not spend it foolishIy. I put it all
in clothes and other useful things
Daniel had fifty dollars on his person
when arrested. 1t was returned to
Mrs. Aqua.

MOSQUITO
CAMPAIGN
Meeting This Week to
Discuss the
Plans.

A meeting to discuss the mosquito
will be held early this week in the
office of President Cooper of the Board
OF Health. A number of prominent
men, real estate agents, property own
ers and others have received invita-
tions to attend, the meeting hour to be
announced later.
At this meeting it is expected to
formulate careful plan of campaign
for the determination of the mosquito.
1t will probably be necessary to ar
range for fund with which to carry
on the work as there is no appropria-
ton for the Board of Health, from
which sufficient money can be taken
to carry on the campaign. A public
subscription will be started to raise
the balance needed.
Though not definitely decided the
Board of Health will conduct the cam
paign. That body has already made
a start in the right direction by in
structing the sanitary inspectors to re-
port the places which require attention.
A community campaign will also be
asked to cooperate. To the poor fam
lilies who are unable TO pay for the
oil, kerosene will probably be furnish
ed by the Board.
The Merchants Association and 9TH
er commercial bodies will be called up
on to assist in the campaign about to
be inaugurated.

much practical experience as cane

therefor, contained facts indisputabie.
There was a general discussion of the
subject when Mr.. Kinney finished and

A paper on forage plants, read by
Henry E. Kelsey was also well re-
ceived. During the past year Mr.. KEEL
sey has experimental with various
grasses on his ranch in Kaiwiki and
his experience and opinion on the sub

Two Real
Farmers
COMMISSIONER BOYD HAS "A
CALL BUT ALLOWS THEM BOTH
TO ESCAPE.

Two "small farmers" left on the
Mauna Loa yesterday for Hawaii, look
ing for farms They arrived on re-
cent steamer from the mainland and
hunted up Land Commissioner Boyd.
Instead of locking them up Boyd show
ed them maps and circulars and then
allowed them to escape and now they
have gone to look at the lands he des-
cribed to them.
Boyd says that the two farmers have
money and are desirous of engaging in
a farming or ranching business. They
are in earnest about it and came here
on account of reports which led them
to think that there is money in the
business here. If the lands they have
gone to see on Hawaii prove salts
factory and other conditions are all
right they intend to settle and go into
the ranching business.
Boyd continues to receive letters of
inquiry from Mainland farmers and
other would-be settlers in Hawai-, and
all are supplied with circulars des-
cribing local conditions

RESERVOIR At
DIAMOND HEAD
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
PREPARING TO CONTRACT FOR
ITS COMPLETION.

superintendent Cooper is advertising
for bids for the completion of the Dia-
mond Head reservoir. The work to be
done is the laying of a concrete floor
construction and painting of a roof ana
construction of a spillway. The Gov
ernment furnishes the rock and a rock
crusher and the contractor is to agree
to do the job in 80 days after the sign
ing of a contract, or forfeit S25 per day
for every day beyond that.
The specifications provide that the
floor shall not be less than six inches
thick in any place and at some points
it is considerably thicker. 1t is pro-
vided that no blasting of the rock to
be dug out shall be allowed, but all
eXcavatng shall be done with pick and
shovel. The specifications also contain
provisions requiring the contractor to
exercise the extreme care in laying
and drying the cement, so that it shah
not crack and shall make an even and
clean bottom.
The Diamond Head reservoir is an
enterprise undertaken several years
ago, but which has lapsed for lack of
funds to carry it on. This year an APP
preparation was made to complete it,
and Superintendent Cooper will carry
on the work as soon as possible.

CARTER" :"

retary Of the Treasury is the result
Of this correspondence.
The procedure now to be followed
will be the same as with an issue of
United States Government bonds.
These are deposited with the treasury
and national bank notes up to ninety
per cent are issued for them, in accord
ance with the national bank law. "It
means" said Superintendent Cooper,
that Carter has succeeded in having
the bonds placed on practically the
same basis as federal bonds. The lat
ter sell at a premium though bearing
less interest than ours The only ching
to the disadvantage of ou1 issue is
that it is for a comparatively short
term.
Cooper was highly pleased at the
news, which means more to his depart
ment tnan TO any Otner Inc aSSuf-
ance that there is money coming

sive public works to which he has Civ.
en- much study and in which he takes
much interest I'VE shall be busy
drawing specifications for some time
now" said the superintendent.
\ new authorization will probably be
sent to Carter now, giving him power
to place the entire issue, instead Of
only S75O,0O0, as there is no longer any
doubt about competitive bids for them
The original plan of issuing them as
fast as the money can be used will DE
followed. so that the local treasury
will not be full of idle money on which
interest is being paid.

A cable from Secretary Carter this
morning brought the good news that
the United States Treasury Depart
ment has agreed to treat the Hawaiian
bond issue the same as United States
bonds, which means that the whole
bond question is settled. United States
bonds bearing les interest than those
of Hawaii sell at premium and it is
therefore to be expected that the Ha-
waiian bond issue of 1908, amounting
to about a million and a quarter, will
sell at a premium instead of being BID
for below par.
