PUBLIC UTILITIES
AND PUBLIC ROADS
AN IMPORTANT MATTER BEFORE
ADAMS AND WARRANT SYSTEM.

The most important matter discuss
ed at last nights meeting of the Board
of Supervisors was i'm my mind that
respecting the duty of the Rapid Tran
sit to put the streets and roads i'm good
condition after laying its tracks" said
Supervisor Adams this morning. Sec
ton S3S of the Revised Laws of Ha-
wall provides specifically in its Sec
tion that all repairs to streets upon
which the road operates which may be
made necessary by the construction
and operation of the road, must be
made by the company, yet as re-
ported by Supervisor Lucas, King
street at the end towards Kahauiki is
practically rendered impossible and is
at all events dangerous from the fact
that the Rapid Transit has placed it's
rails above the level of the street 1t
is said that the necessary repairs win
cost $4,000 or $4,000 and there seems It
disposition to saddle this cost on the
county. Certainly the mater will be
fought to a finish The Rapid Transit
will have to live up to the provisions
of its charter Personally l will not
be party to having the county pay a
NN''b 80 ANl''Ailo " oAlttAH cut UP ny
the Rapid Transit or by anyone else
and am sure every member Of the
Board of Supervisors feels the same
way.
las to the matter Of payment by
warrants which was discussed at some
length, my pOsotion is simply that it is
impossible to protect any people alb
solutely from the consequences Of
their own folly, and II county employees
will live beyond their means and put
themselves in the hands of usurers,
they are primarily to blame. l am
certainly in favor of protecting EN-
ployes by every legitimate means but
as supervisors it seems to me that we
have at all times to bear in mind
the powers that are delegated to us
by the County Act. The plan Of
paying men on salaries by separate
warrants is eminently proper in my
mind as it provides a complete check
ON everyone handling the public's
money The idea of making out one
warrant for the head of each depart
ment and then having the treasurer
issue separate checks to the individuals
is not practicable. IL would cloud the
books in a manner which would be
deplorable and incidentally any unpaid

.NITRITE CARGO
WAS UNDAMAGEO
LEAK IN SCHOONER CECILIA SUD
DEN DISCOVERED AND REPAIR
ER-CARGO NOT DAMAGED.

A survey on the schooner Celicia Sud
den shows that practically no damage
was done to the cargo of nitrtes by
the leaking. The vessel had been MAX
ing four inches of water an hour for
some days previous to her arrival 1T
Honolulu. The leak was known to be
forward and was evidently of consid-
cradle size, as the swish of the water
running into the vessel could be dis
tinctly heard by those standing by the
forward hatch
No time was lost in starting to dis
charge the vessel upon her arrival in
Honolulu. The leak was located five
feet below the vessels original water
line. The hole was close to the stem
and was about three inches in extent.
Evidently in caulking the vessel some
body in the ship yard found his string
of Oakum about three inches short and
failed to complete the caulkinG. The
damage was promptly repaired here
About two sacks Of nitrites were ma he
damp by the water. In view of the
amount of water that ran into the yes
Sc. the escape Of the cargo seems re-
markable.

4 KAMAAINA
GOES TO HER REST
DEATH ELY THIS MORNING
OF MRS. CORDELIA HASTINGS
BROwN-AGED 81 YEARS.

Mrs. Cordelia Hastings Brown moth
er of Jacob f. Brown, Arthur NJ
Brown, and Mrs. j. A. Gilman, died
this morning at 4:3O o'clock, at the res
idence of j. A. Gilman. Mrs. Brown
was born in Boston, May 10, 1924. and
in 1871 married Captain Jacob Brown,
a ship master.
She first came to Hawaii, on a visit
with her husband, in 1851 She came
here with him to reside permanently
August 10, 1863. Captain Brown, who
died about twenty years ago, was long
and favorably known here and was
one of the original promoters of the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany, being a friend of Captain Foster
-Four children were born to Captain and
Mrs. Brown, of whom three survive A
daughter, Sarah NJ. Brown, died IN
1874.
The deceased had been an invalid for
years. For several months past she
has been quite i'll, from what seemed
a general breaking up of the system on
account of her age. The funeral will
be- held tomorrow afternoon, at 3
O'clock from her own late residence,
Waikiki. The interment win be in
Nuuanu cemetery, Rev. DR.. William NJ.
Kincaid will oficiate.
Jacob F. Brown is on Molokai, but a
wireless message reached him, and the
Inter-Island Company gave orders for
the Kinau to stop at Kaunaltakai for
him.

in the water, which fills that part of the
vessel
The cause of the explosion, which, so
far as ascertained, included boilers 3
and d on the port side has not yet
been determined. There is talk among
the crew of weakened and leaking boil
ers, but until a thorough inspection Of
the wrecked boilers can be made no de-
finite official statement is obtainable.
The Bennington, which arrived at
this port from Honolulu last Wednes-
day afternoon, was preparing to leave
port at half-past 10 o'clock this morn
ing, and only awaited the arrival of
Commander Lucien Young, who had
gone ashore on official business, With
steam up and every preparation for
sailing completed, the vessel swung At
anchor half a mile off the Spreckels
wharf, opposite H street.
Officers and crew stood idly about
awaiting the arrival of the commander
and the order to heave anchor. Numer-
Gus small craft swarmed about the bay,
and the big ferry-boat Ramona was
leisurely churmng it's way across from
the Coronado side of the bay.
ouuueHly IHeIe WAS ueep-lOneu,
rumbling information, like a distant eX-
plosion of dynamite, and the Benning-
ton was seen to reel and shake from
stem to stern; a dense cloud of white
steam shot skyward, and the entire
upper deck appeared to lift and then
settle back with crash.
Before persons on shore and aboard
the moving bay craft awoke to the
catastrophe enacted before their eyes
men were leaping over the sides of the
Bennington.

SAN DIEGO, July 21.-Broken and
blackened, with her flag flying at half
mast and her hold filled with fifteen
feet of water, the United States gun
boat Bennington lies beached upon the
shores of San Diego harbor. Thirty
nine of her crew lie dead at city
morgues, the fate of a dozen more is
yet undetermined and three-score are
stretched upon beds of pain in various
hospitals This is the result of the eX-
plosion which wrecked the trim little
naval craft and wrought such terrible
havoc among her crew at half-past 10
o'clock this morning.
The placid waters of San Diego Bay
have new before been the scene of
such a disaster, and San Diega city has
never before been stirred by such
Scenes of death and suffering as those
Witnessed today.
Twenty-one dead bodies lie ranged
with grewsome precision at Davis e
Andersons morgue. The stark forms
are outlined in Immaculate winding
sheets. Thirteen victims are stretched
upon improvised biers at Johnson e.
Connell's morgue, while five others are
to be seen at Woolman & Bradley's 5.
The face of every victim is SCARED and
scaled, in many cases almost beyond
recognition.
At Agnew Hospital tonight are many
injured, suffering in almost every in
stance from scalded bodies. Several
are expected to succumb to their in
juries before the night is over.
On board the Bennington the unharm-
ed members of the crew are working
under Great difficulties to reach the
boiler-room and coal bunkers, where it
is believed a dozen bodies are lying
wedged in the wreckage or submerged

ONE BENNINGTON
VICTIM KNOWN HERE
SOME DOUBT IN HIS CLAsSIF1CA-
TION LEAVES MATTER NOT AL
TOGETHER POSITIVE

The name of only one man who had
enlisted Honolulu, appears among
the victims of the explosion on the
gunbOat Bennington. G #. Nelson in
his name and there is a slight uncer-
tainty that the man enlisted here was
the man killed in the horror at san
Diego last Friday.
on June 10, c. f. Nelson enlisted here
as coal passer, giving his age at "a
years and the place of nativity, as
Seattle. He was transferred by Cap
tain Niblack ~ the naval station, to
the Bennington in company with four
others and a Chinese steward, Bert
Wheeler being among the crowd trans,
ferred. In the list of those killed by
the explosion, contained in the San
Francisco newspapers brought by the
5. 5. Korea is given the name of c. F..
Nelson as "machinists' mate, first
class. While the name Of the man kill
ed is that of the man who signed on
here, the classification causes some
doubt as the Nelson who signed on at
Honolulu was coal passer. Another
Nelson, Q. V. Nelson, is mentioned in
the list of victims. 1t seems hardly
likely that there would have been three
Nelson's in the crew so the probabilities
are that &c. F.. Nelson coal passer"
and &c. F. Nelson machinists' mate"
are one and the same.
The greatest interest was taken at
the naval station today in the details
If the explosion. The names of the
killed, injured and the missing were
read with the greatest interest by the
crew of the u. S. S. Iroquois. Many OF
the victims were remembered and now
that partial lists of the dead and in
jured are known there will be many
people living in Honolulu, who will
recall the unfortunate men of the Ben
nington.
The name of Wheeler is not mention
ed as among the dead or injured.
