The city council indulged i'll anoth- CT warm sess.on Monday night. There was no need for the big base burn CT. just before the adjournment, the atmosphere became so progressively hot that the aldermen themselves could no longer stand it, and went home.
 But nobody pays any attention to these little tilts on Inc part of the city dads. Indeed the ancients found amusement in them for themselves, and so long as they confine their con- duet to the council chamber none will ever be the worse for them.
 Monday nights r.se in the tempera- tQre was occasioned by the billboard question. which has new become one of all-absolbing interest, made so by the strong opposition set up against the double-deck billboards. Alder man Nichol is recognized as the lead CT Ol tHe oppOollioli ptti es 'o tlISoS boards, which he characterizes as both unsightly and dangerous, a me- mace to the lives of children partieu 1arly Alderman Well, whose son is engaged in the billboard business, is the gentlemen who is leading the fight for the perpetuity of the bill boards, double and single decked Acknowledging that he might have a personal interest in the matter he has produced statements from con tractors and others declaring that the billboards are perfectly safe-at least as safe as they can be made Mir. Well has led losing fight so far, because at the last session of the council, a week ago, Mr. Nichols res elut on conforming the double-deck- CTS and demanding their removal was passed by the council The demand has never been compiled with. but the matter has been taken before Chancellor Elliott for decision from that gentleman relative to the right Of the city 10 take any such step Pending his dec sion, the matter lies in abeyance

HALF A DENIAL.

Arthur Brown, Republican candidate
for sheriff of Oahu, says in an even
ing paper that if he is elected he will
serve out his term. Mr.. Brown. how
ever, does not deny that he told a gen.
tleman who was a delegate to the con-
vention that nominated him that he
only wanted the nomination for a vim
dication and that if he We're elected
he would not serve out the term as
he could not afford to hold the office.
That statement, therefore, stands
without contradiction.
There were rumors yesterday of an
attempt that would be made or was
making to force Dick Lane off the
ticket as a candidate for Supervisor
from Koolaupoko.
