one dam 8,feet high as above indicated,
and with a view to securing the CO.
operation of the railray company later in
the construction of works of permanent
character and of ample size to supply all
future needs.
The cost of an 8-foot dam would de-
pend largely upon the kind of materials
used in the construction. The cheapest
form of construction would be timber
dam with one or more lines Of sheet
piling along the upper edge topreyent
seepage, and such a dam would cost
about $1,000.
WATER TOWER.
The water tower should be constructed
entirely of steel, except the roof which
may be of wood covered with cedar
shingles. The tower should have
height of about 90 feet and should be
supported on concrete piers.
The tank should be about 70 feet in
diameter and % feet high above the bal
cony, with conical or horizontal bottom,
which would give capacity of 10000
gollons, and a pressure on Willard street
from 20 pounds to 72 pounds as the tank
is full or empty.
To enable you to better judge what
this amount of water implies, we will
assume that at the outbreak of fire the
tank is about two-thirds full, or say
10000 gallons of water. This, would
furnish two streams using about 200 gal
Ions per minute for period of three
hours, or three streams for about two
hours. If the tank is about one-half full
it will furnish two streams for about two
hours or three streams for one hour and
twenty-five minutes. This would give
ample time to start the pumps.
We estimate the cost of steel tower
and tank of the above size and capacity
at $1,000.

SENIOR CAPTAIN PA}<=}
REMAINS ON POLICE FORCE

Captain Robert Parker is still Senior
Captain of the Honolulu police. Yes
Interview that cleared up some things
that seemed to have been hazy in the
first interview, and now among the
police the whole affair seems to be re-
garded as a sort of joke. 1t seems that
the Sheriff and the Senior Captain had
some little dispute and Parker jumped
at the conclusion that his services were
no longer required from something that
the Sheriff said to him. According to
Sheriff Brown there was no intention
on his part to discharge Parker and he
said last night that evidently the Senior
Captain had got an idea that he was
fired" when such was not the case.
Captain Parker said last night: Il
am to report in the morning. 1 went
to see the Sheriff this morning and he
told NE that he did not want me to
leave the force and that he did not in
tend that I should leave it when he
had the interview with me Saturday.
He said that some people had been
after him to discharge me, but that 1t
was not his intention to do so when he
col laI in
he had no more confidence in me L
thought that he meant for me to get
out. But he says that he did not mean
that, so I am to go back tomorrow"
Sheriff Brown confirmed the state
ment that Captain Parker would be on
duty this morning, saying that he had
evidently mistaken his intention. He
said that Parker was little excited

that the Sheriff meant to put him out,
so he turned in his badge and keys.
The Sheriff stated that he and Parker
that as result of it Parker would be
at his old post today.
Being asked about retrenchment in
the police force Sheriff Brown said: "It
is not my intention to discharge any

any men are discharged it will be done

approval of. the supervisors. They
have decided that there must be re-
trenchnent in the department, so OF
course some will have to go. Person.
ally 1 would like to have as many men
as possible. but the county has not the
money. So we will have to cut down.
1t will be almost impossible to cut
anything but the salary roll. We have
to support all the prisoners in the
police station jail, and we can't cut
the salaries as they are low enough
already The regular officers are jnst
sufficient to cover the beats. so we will
have to save by cutting off some OF
the specials and extra men. OF course
this means that every regular officer
will be worked to the full limit, but
we cannot help it. There cannot be
many reductions in the country police.
7 do not see how we can save more than
$1,000 a month on the present cost or

schedule of estimates to the super
visors soon and it will then be up TO
them TO say how much cutting will be
done and where

By the foregoing resolution the Re-

placed itself on record, incidentally, as
confirming the action of its execu-
tive committee in endorsing Governor
Carter's administration and desiring a
continuance thereof, besides directly
making Mr.. Cooper it's first choice for

resolution, clearly gave it the inter-

muttered objection. in a full meeting.
While this declaration regarding the
governorship was the main item of
business, there was an episode not on
the program which is likely to have a
wholesome effect on Republican party
councils for some little time to come
This was when Sam. Johnson chal-
lenged any and all of his detractors in
connection with the county campaign
to come out into the light. He chal-
lenged in vain, but John A. Hughes
seized the opportunity to drive home a
lesson to the party workers which will
not soon be forgotten.
By person and proxy the following
twenty-five members of the Central
Committee answered the roll call at
the meeting held at Republican head
quarters Saturday night:

In Vain to Come to the Light.

/ RESOLUTION INTRODUCED.
Mr.. Cooke, Immediately after the
opening routine: presented the gov
ernorship resolution above quoted. I'm
explanation of this resolution it's
author said, Il would like to refer to
the resolution passed by the executive
committee on Monday of this week,
when this committee placed itself on
record as expressing regret that Gov
ernor Carter had rendered his resigna-
ton. together with its belief that the
interests of Hawaii and it's people
would be conserved by the continuance
in office of the present Governor. The
sense of the committee was that of a
hope that Governor Carter's resignation
would not be accepted
Under the existing circumstances,
with the possibility in question, it is
unit. The party is not too strong.
1t is proper to express our preference
for Governor unitedly, in the event that
the resignation of Governor should take
effect 1t is only fair that this COM
mittee should place itself on record In
naming Mr.. Cooper as it's first choice.
After a vacancy occurred might be too
late. If we want to have any influence
in Washington. one of the most essen
tial things is the presenting of a united
front"
i Applause followed Mr.. Cookies re-
marks. Immediately it had subsided,
Mr.. Clark moved and Mr.. Harris Sec
onded a motion that the resolution be
ADOPTED.
| Chairman Robertson, having invited
remarks on the question without OBJ
tanning any response, put the motion
and it carried by heartily unanimous
vote.
TOO MUCH MACHINERY.
| Nobody answering a call for any fur
ther business, Chairman Robertson said
he would call the attention OF the COM
mittee again to "the ever fertile sub
Ject of rules Now that the County
Act had gone into operation it seemed
to him that they had too much ma
chinery. There were too many COM
mittees to manage campaigns. They
had the Central, the District and the
County committees. 1t might be well
to do away with the District commit
tees. If they retained the County and
District committees they would be
tumbling over each other in campaigns.
They could not tell when there might

opening of peace negotiations. If Japan
insists upon Manchuria or Washington
Russia doubtless will agree, but Paris is
preferred, and the emperor already is
prepared to issue instructions to M. Neli-
doff, the ambassador to France, to act
as plenipotentiary to receive the Japan
eSes conditions.
Practically, although Aot formally, an
armistice can now be said to exist. Rus
STA awaits Japan's notification, the name
Of her plenipotentiary, and the place of
meeting. as upon the place will depend
the appointment of Russia representa-
tive. With the naming of the plenipo-
tentiaries limited Suspension of hos
tilities will be formally declared.
Japan's Probable Terms.
In diplomatic circles here it is sug-
gested that the terms Japan will demand
will be about as follows: Indemnity of
probably between $5O0,000,000 and
$1,000, 100000. Evacuation of Man
churia. Agreement to Japanese pro-
tectorate over Korea Cession to Japan
OF railroad from Port Arthur to Harbin
Cession of Russian interests on Lao
tung peninsula and at Port Arthur to
japan. Cession to Japan of the Island of
Saghalin. Dismantlement of the forti-
f1cations of Vladivostok Acknowledg
ment of Japanese protectorate over
Korea. The terms to which Russia
probably will object are: Cession of
Saghalin. Dismantlement of Vladivo-
stock. Size of indemnity.

Medical Bill Passed.

The medical bill, which vests the
power to revoke licenses of physicians
found guilty of unprofessional conduct,
or who have been proved incompetent,
in the circuit court, has been passed
by the senate, thus ending a long pro-
tracted struggle. Another bill was re-
Gently introduced, and it was between
these two measures which the SolonS
lowered in the fight. Practically the
only difference between the two bills
was that in one the power was vested
in the circuit court, while the first
measure gave the authority to board
of examiners. However, the good
points were culled from both and the
rehashed bill passed the senate and
now awaits concurrence in the assem-
bly,. Few bills before the legislature
this winter have caused more stub
born contest than the medical bill.
Duplicates of the measure were intro
duced in the senate by DR.. Noble of
Eau Claire, and in the assembly by DR..
Dinsdale of Soldiers Grove. In it's ORR
ginal form the bill gave the state board
the absolute power of revelation, with
no provision for an appeal to the
courts. During the debate in the as
sembly over the passage of the bill,
DR.. j. w. Powell, who represents the
second district of Fond du Lac county,
made the statement that if the state
board could not secure the power to
revoke licenses, it would prefer to have
no bill at all, but this position has been
evidently reconsidered. The physicians
who have been before the legislature
in the interests of their bill express
disappointment that it could not pass
as introduced, but say they would
rather have the measure in it's present
form than none.

Governor vetoes Measures.

Gov. La Toilette oiled his typewriter
this week and hammered out vetoes on
two important bills One Is in disap-
proval of the Szymarek bill to divide
the city of Milwaukee into constable
and justice of the peace districts and
the other in disapproval of the Bletch-
er bill to provide for the examination
of insurance companies at state ex-
pense. The governor says he cannot
sign the former bill because it is clear
ly special in character and in reality
an amendment to the charter of the
clay of Milwaukee, athus being in VIC
lation of the constitution. He says a
bill of similar import was presented to
him for approval two years ago, but
he was forced to veto it. The governor
believes the insurance bill is loaded"
In message of nine long typewriter
pages he says the bill repeats provis-
ions of the statutes which in mis- opin-
ion are necessary safeguards and pro
lection of the policy-holde1s of the
state; would entail upon the state a
large increased expense without CORE
would enable the state insurance COM
missioner to charge and retain large
fees for examinations in certain cases.
and would enable corrupt corporations
to pay corrupt commissioners large
sums for permission to operate in the
state. "The sections proposed to be
repealed, it seems to me, weaken the
force of the statutes on the subject
says the governor, "and those con-
tanned in the bill are, some Of them, not
only not corrective, but harmful" AS
the bill originated in the state insur-
ance commissioners Office, and was
strongly advocated by him before the
committees, the veto of the governor
and his sharp comment came rs sur
prise. The insurance commissioner
was vigorously criticised last summer.

Governor Strikes at Host.

Gov. La Follette's veto of the insur-
ance bill is marking crisis between
Insurance Commissioner Zeno M. Host
and the executive. 1t is believed that
conflict of no small proportions is on
between the administration forces and
Mr.. Hosts department. The claim is
made that Host has grown politically
too fast and his attempt to inoculate
himself into the proceedings of state
fraternal societies has brought down
the wrath of Gov. La Follettee and his
forces. Then, too, it is declared that
when Host comes in touch with. the or
CARNATIONS he would see opportunity
to use the influence which these pow
ers could bring TO his aid in fIrthering
what political ambitions he might fos-
ter Hosts other bill permitting addi-
tional employees for his department is
pending, and now word comes from adj
ministration sources that the cloud of
disapproval may light on this measure
also. The political ambition charge is
made against Host, despite the fact
that he recently announced his inten-
ton of quitting politics for all time.

To Quit About June 90.

All legislative eyes are now fixed on
the day when the solons can consider
their work at an end and take sine die
adjournment in compliance with the
resolution passed some time ago pro-
viding for an ending of committee re-
porting OF bills and for the closing of
the session as soon as all heavy mat
ters were out of the way. Right at
present the grind is going on with un-
relenting speed, but no matter how
fast the work is done it is certain that
the end will not be reached until after
the 18th of the month. This is the
opinion of Speaker Lenroot and other
Legislative leaders, while the impor-
lance of the unfinished work leads to
the conclusion that no adjournment
can be reached until after June II, and
possibly June 90 There are many
bothersome propositions, deferred from
time to time, still to deal with. Those
measures in which more or less admin
istration politics have been inter-
woven, are well out of the way and
can be handled from this time on in
a perfunctory manner, taking their
course on the calendar.

RATE BILL A LAW
GOVERNOR SIGNS THE COMMITS
SION MEASURE.
ENDS WISCONSIN FIGHT.
La Toilette Will Soon Plunge into Ma
tional Problem Con-
nected with Appearance
in the Senate.

CIV. w. Garrison. Staff Correspondent
Madison, WIS, June IL. - Gov. La
toilette has attached his signature to
the rate commission bill and the meas
ure is now part of the state statutes.
The senate this week concurred in the
minor assembly amendments and the
bill was handed to the clerk. who for
warded it to the executive Office.
where it received the official John
Hancock of the governor. The pas
sage of the railroad bill and it's sign
ing is the crowning with success of a
move which has been developing in
Wisconsin for years. The governors
antagonism toward the avenues of
commerce has been a matter of nation
al comment since he began his second
term as chief executive of the common
wealth of Wisconsin, and his reform
ideas have held sway in the legislature
because of the majority which he holds
in the body. There was some question
as to whether he would be successful
IN pushing the bill, in which he had
concentrated his whole effort. through
the senate, but all fears on the part Of
administration forces were set aside
when the senate jumped into line at
the crack of the administration whip
and passed the measure by a unani-
nous vote. In the assembly there was
the same tendency by the minority to
make the commission elective instead
OF appointive, but so strongly did the
leaders WELD their power that here.
also, the convictions of the lesser num-
Der were driven into the ground, with
the result that the state now has law
which, SO it is declared, will effectually
curb the so-called ''frisky' railroad of
Wisconsin. With his signature at
tached to the vital document, the gov
ernor- piunges into national politics, al
though he does not really go to Wash
ington until the fall. Incident with his
debut into the United States senate
comes the question from leading
American statesmen, will he tame the
senate or will the senate tame him?"
The only answer now forthcoming is
that both will have the time of their
lives in doing the other.
