A very black ugly cloud is rising
around the blanket payroll for the
garbage department, which the Super
visors of Oahu County desired Treas
urer Trent to pay with one big war
rant issued to Sam Johnson. Mr..
Trent, in the letter above, sent to the
supervisors yesterday, mentions what
he is pleased to call a concrete in
stance" Mr.. Trent, 1t is entirely pos
.sible, knows more than he tells in his
letter, although he will not talk about
DIT. But the story comes out as the
cloud rises. And it is unfortunate for
Sam johnson that he has gone to Sea-
grit, because he is the only man who
can give an explanation that will dis
sipate the cloud. And maybe Sam will
be lucky if he can.
At all events, the story is worth the
telling. When that blanket warrant
was drawn, it was drawn on a payroll
presented to the Supervisors by Sam
johnson. That payroll was passed by
johnson. That payroll was passed by
the Supervisors, more than once. and
so 1t was inexpedient to withdraw il
and make up a new one when the
blanket warrant was rejected and the
Supervisors began to make out sepa-
rate warrants for the men in
the garbage and road departments.
The warrants had to be made out for
the time Of the men as it appeared on
the blanket warrant payroll.
This had awkward consequences, be-
cause the men, particularly in the gar
bage department, when they went to
get their warrants cashed, found that
they We're receiving more money than
they had been accustomed to receive
heretofore for the same work Some
of them expressed their establishment
to the Treasurer and to his clerks.
Mr.. Trent took the statements of these
men-and has them.
1t seems that there is a somewhat
peculiar system in vogue in the gar
bage department. and possibly also in
the road department. This calls for the
employment of two men where only
one is provided for in the salary list.
This is done. partly for political pur-
poses. of course, as everything is in
Hawaii. as it practically doubles the
votes, but 1t has also the purpose that
1t gives small but sufficient wages to
two men where but one would be pro-
vided for otherwise, and so two fami-
lies are supported in place of one,
The plan. with the double force, Is to
have the men work but half the time.
The system is simple. One force works
one week. and is laid off. Then the
next force works week. and is in turn
laid OFF. the first force coming back to
work the following week. The working
month. of twenty-six or twenty seven
days, is thus divided into shifts of
fourteen and twelve days, or thirteen

 Winslow, Arizona, May 16-A franchise was granted here today by a vote of 73 to IA, giving to the Winslow Electric Light and Power company the right to fur nish the town with electric light and power.
 The people of Winslow are Juo- liant over the result of the cleo ton, as it means that the town will soon be lighted and a long felt want will be filled. Theco pany which receives the franchise was recently incorporated under the laws of Arizona and a con- siderable amount of stock is held by local people. The machinery that furnishes the power to the ice plant will be used for lighting purposes resulting in reduction in running expense which will p,ve to Winslow cheaper lights than in any town on the Santa Fe between Albuquerque and Los Angeles.

CTS, according to a representative ot the Russian admiralty who has arrived here. This supports the statement in recent cable grams that a large part ot the work of constructing the new Russian navy will come to the United States.
 In speaking ot plans to increase the strength of the Russian navy the representative of the Russian admiralty said that fifty-four ves- sels in all, including destroyers, would be built. He added that Chas M. Schwab and other Americans would surely obtain contracts for more than a third of the vessels to be built.

THIRTEEN NAMES
ON THE DEATH ROLL
ALBANY DISASTER NOT so BAD
AS FEARED.
Committee viii Be Appointed to In
vestieate and Report Cause
Of the Accident.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 9.-There is
considerable speculation tonight as to
how many more bodies are beneath
the ruins of Myers department store
which collapsed suddenly yesterday
morning. The death roll numbers
thirteen.
All day long big force of labor
ers has toiled within the building. AT
5:55 o'clock this morning the body
of Helen Malone was discovered.
About 10 o'clock the body of Miss
Winnifred Kelly, who was a clerk in
the shoe department was found pinned
down by a large steam pipe. 1t was
identified by her father, who had spent
the night about the place searching
for his daughter.
On account of bulge in the south
wall, which made further rescue work
in its vicinity dangerous, Mayor Gaus
ordered portion of the wall remov.
ed 1t was not until 3 o'clock this
afternoon that the body of Miss Kelly
was finally removed.
II is thought that the number OF
dead will not be nearly as large as
feared. All the employees of the store
except the cash boys have been ac
counted for. If there are any other
bodies beneath the ruins they are
those of shoppers or cash boys. The
company employed seventy boys and
nearly all of them have put in an ap
pearance today.
The police have made no inquiries
from parents of missing boys, and are
hopeful that no more bodies will be
| found
A big force of laborers are still al
work removing the debris. Undertak
ers wagons and ambulances are back
ed up to the curb in front of the
building. while crowds are standing
silently against the ropes, kept Dact
| by scores of the police. eagerly watch
| ing the work of rescue.
Mayor Gaus and several of the city
officials held meeting at noon today
| and decided to appoint a committee
| whose duty it shall be to investigate
the cause of the accident, fix tn;
| blame and report to the mayor at the
earliest possible moment. The com
mittee is to be composed of two ex
pert building contractors and one civil
engineer, all of whom are to be non
residents of Albany.
