Recently Grand Duke Serge sent for
him and told him that his contribution
to the war fund had not been large
enough. Morozoff said that he thought
it had been, as he had given 100000
worth of cloth from which to make
uniforms for the army. He said that
he would not give more unless it could
be assured that none of the officials or

1t will be a good thing for the Ter
ritOry if the Superintendent of Public
Works is able to accept the bid of Con-
tractor Walker on the Alakea street
dock contract. Walkers bid is $4,000
less than the others, but the saving OF
the $4,000 is not the only benefit to the
islands, for Walker happens to be a To-
cal contractor and naturally it is well
to have local contractors take such
jobs if they can. The objection made
against Walkers check accompanying
