w. B. Scott. former employee of

according to the police when charged
with the shortage, is said to have ad-
mitted it.
Scott was in charge of the foreign
order department of Bishop & Co and
it is said that he failed to made remit
tances as he should have done. The
shortage of $1,000 is alleged to have o.
CURED within the past two oy three
months. MIR. Damon tcld the police
that the shortage was such that Scott
could not have carried it much longer
and that it would have been discovered
in few days whether he had been
arrested or NOT. High Sheriff Brown
said yesterday that he intended to file
an information against Scott in the
Police Court today.

A CONTRACT
IS ENJO|NED
''What Is Sauce For Ny
Goose Is Sauce For
Your Gander. /"

/ John Lucas has brought an injunc-
ton suit against c. S. Holloway, super
intendent of Public Works, and the
American Hawaiian Construction and
Engineering Co., to enjoin these re-
| spondents from proceeding with a con-
| tract for the construction of Brewers
wharf and shed, Taken in the light of
the injunction that stopped the Laha-
inaluna contract, the plaintiff seems to
be acting on the old saw, What is
| sauce for my goose is sauce for your
gander.''
Judge De Bolt granted a temporary
injunction yesterday afternoon, which
stops the work until the determination
of the case on it's merits.
The complainant is member of the
firm of Lucas Brothers. which was re-
Gently permanently enjoined along with
Superintendent Holloway by Judge De
Bolt from proceeding with a contract
for erecting new Lahainaluna Seminary
buildings, upon the ground alleged by
Herbert Kendall, who complained in
that case, that certain changes in
specifications were not duly advertised
nor made known to all of the bidders.
Lucas Brothers took an appeal to the
/ ooPACAAlC OOd4b A1O4A4 OadSS LIE POll
the Lahainaluna case. one of their pleas
to the complaint having been that Ken
dali did have notice, constructively, of
the change of specifications.
In the Brewer contract mattel, COM
plainant sets forth the following alleg-
ed facts:
That Holloway on January 20 official
ly advertised for sealed tenders for the
works, including removal of the old
structures, to be received until Feb
ruary 20.
That prior to such advertising Hol-
loway caused plans and specifications.
of the works to be prepared, which
documents as placed on file in the Pub
lie Works office provided for coristruc-
ton and removal as already mentioned,
the old material to become the property
of the contractor.
That on February 2 and 16. respec-
lively Holloway sent written notices to
prospective bidders asking for bid for
bitumen floor as an extra and for fig
ures on new piles.
That under the original specifications
a lump bid for both wharf and bitumen
floor was called for, whereas under the
notices of February 2 and 16 separate
bids therefor were invited contrary to
law, as not having been publicly adver-
tised.
That the INSTRUMENTATION Con-
struction and Engineering Co. filed a
bid that did not conform to the amend
ment of February 10, though it did to
that of February 2.
That L. M. Whitehouse bid for the
work under specifications as amended
on both dates mentioned, and complain
ant Lucas was interested with him in
said bid.
That Holloway received no bid on the
original plans as they existed in the
Public Works Office on the day bids
were advertised for, and that the con-
tract was awarded to the American
Hawaiian Co. although it was not the
lowest bidder.
Complainant declares that the Amer
Co. has begun work I'M 4
der a contract that is illegal and void,
and which will result in harm to him
self and all other taxpayers of the Ter
ritOry.
