Business Tactics Needed.
near future.

Ever since the, overthrow of the
Monarchy, in every department of the
Government, (save probably in one,
under a single administration) the
practice has been to create work that
jobs might be created for persons with
pull. This practice has been carried
so far that the departments as they are
now remind one of forty men trying to
skin a minnow (ohua) AS matter
Of fact numerous sub-bureaus are abb
solutely useless and have been created
for political purposes. The necessary
departments are so full of men that
they are in each others way, and the
hardest work of these grafters is to
find something to do and to draw their
salary warrants. In place of Hawaii's
government being Great Eastern in
sardine box, as Mark Twain saw it,
It Is United States or Great Britain
in thimble-and small thimble at
that. The executive should start at the
top, go down the line and systematical-
ly weed out until the Governmental
system presents an aspect in keeping
with business principles in place of one
that sacrifices business to the demand
of politics. hf p a.l

Previous to going there, we had al
ready been informed that Mr.. John
son had learned that we were working
on the matter and that he was on pins
and in his uppers to find out who our
informant was; and not only that, he
had already given instruction to the
employees not to give us any informa-
tion, and on that score he had caused
the removal of the horse from its pre-
vious stall to another one further in
and out Of sight. Several employees
were about the place when we arrived
there, but from none could we get any
information whatsoever, all having
been no doubt previously coached by
this exiled subject of the Czar to not
open their mouths, or else lose their
jobs in consequence of having tooseasy
and glib tongues. Upon asking the
chief hostler, the tall and lank Wallace
Jackson from Kentucky, he answered
by saying: 81 don't know anything
and l have nothing to say" This is

Formerly, we only had one inspector
known as the Inspector-General of
Schools, and the system then was not
as cumbersome as it is nowadays, and
the efficiency then did not lag behind
the present standard. Better do away
altogether with these wall flower prin-
cipals and useless inspectors, always
deeming the latter an unnecessary in.

the Superintendent of that department

Let us take this city for an example.
The men principals of the High and
the Royal schools are not particularly
aimed at, because they take the higher
classes in their respective institutions
and do something to earn their salary
allowances, besides attending to their
other duties in overseeing the work Of
their subordinates. But, we under.
stand, 1t is not so with the lady prin.
cipaie of the Kaahumanu and the Kai-
ulani schools; they hardly do anything
for their allowances other than to
strut about from room to room inspect
ing those under them. If such is real
ly the case, they had better be made
to work for their money or else quit
such fooling and get out. Do they then
also assume the duties of Normal In

Raleigh, N. c., April 2.-Four motions
were presented to the Superior Court
this afternoon by the attorneys of V.
e. McBee and K. S. Finch of New
York, charged with conspiracy in OBJ
tanning a receivership for the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad, two
thirds state property. These were first,
for a bill of particulars; second, to
quash the Indictment; third, denying
the jurisdiction of the court and say
ing the case should be tried by the
federal court; fourth, asking for a con-
tinuance.
The attorneys urged a continuance,
stating they were not ready, as they
had believed there was an understand
ing to stop the case. McBee filed an
affidavit alleging undue expenses in
running the road, making improper
contracts for supplies and giving free
passes to local attorneys off the line of
road and boarding people free at rail-
road hotels. This the president of the
road denies in telegram tonight.

TRANSPORTATION PLANS
WORK WITHOUT FRICTION.

St. Petersburg, April 2.-Gen. Levas-
koff, director of military communica-
tions of the general staff, in an inter-
view, gives interesting facts about the
Russian line of communications. He
says:
The transport of troops over the ST.
berian and Manchurian railroads work
ed without a hitch. except for a six
hour stoppage caused by a collision.
Men, guns and ammunition, equipment
and provisions have gone forward with
clockwork regularity.
THE sketches of scenes along the
route appearing in English newspapers
are ludicrous. The pictures of en-
counters with Chinese bandits along
the line, with broken rails, tangles or
telegraph wires, PROSTATE poles and
Cossacks galloping with what look like
miniature searchlightS all belong to
the realm of fancy. 1 do not know
of a single interruption due to Chinese
bandits.
The protection of the line is as
sured by more practical, though per-
haps less poetic. means than depicted
in the illustrated papers. For exam
pie, take the case of armored trains.
We discussed the subject and decided
against them. The conditions did not
call for them. The line runs through
territory held by our troops. There
may be a few robber bands, but there
are no Japanese, at least at present.
The only things of the kind introduced
are armored cabs for the engine drivers,
to protect them from stray bullets.

MAY HAVE BEEN THE
PALM BEACH INN THIEF.
Taylor Is Suspected of Having Rob-
bed in Florida.


Cincinnati, April at is believed
that in the arrest of James Taylor
here the police have solved the mys-
terry of the big theft of jewels from
the Palm Beach Inn, at Palm Beach,
Fla, several weeks ago, in which New
York society people lost diamonds and
other valuables worth thousands of
dollars. Taylor attracted attention by
his lavish use of money here, and De-
tectives Reed and Allen arrested him.
He had 1913 in cash, two carat diamond
rings, valued at $500, some other jew
elry and several pawn tickets. In all
he had valuables to the amount of $500
on his person.
The pawn tickets were traced, and 1t
was found that he had pawned a dia-
mond set badge of the Daughters Of
the Revolution, on which the name
Louise Burns" was inscribed.
Through the national headquarters of
the order at Washington the detec-
tives traced Mrs. Burns to New York
and learned that within the last few
weeks she visited New York, Wash
ington, Chicago and Palm Beach, Fla.
The New York police were asked to
investigate, and to-day Chief of Po-
lice Millikin received a telegram from
Inspector McCluskey of New York,
asking that Taylor and the jewels be
held for identification. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles w. Dabb and Mrs. Burns are
now en- route to this city to identify
the jewels and Taylor, If possible.
1t was stated that a few weeks ago
the ladies' and gentlemen named were
guests at the inn at Palm Beach
when they and others were robbed
of a large amount of jewelry, total
ing several thousands of dollars.
Among the pieces which had been
stolen were Mrs. Burns Daughters of
the Revolution badge and other pieces
which have been partly identified by
the description.
