WATKINS
NOT OUT
No Change Yet in the
Office Of Shipping
Commissioner.

There was a rumor about town yes
terday that Norman Watkins successor
as United States Shipping Commission
er had been appointed at Washington.
Mr. Watkins had heard nothing about
the matter and he does not believe that
the appointment will be settled for sew
eral weeks or possibly two or three
months. Mr.. Watkins, owing to pres
sure of private business. sent in his
resignation several months ago.
Shortly afterward, George A, Davis.
who was counsel for seaman in a
suit against a vessel, said that Mr..
Watkins, as an official, should be in
vestigated, indicating that he had not
been dutiful officer in the manner
of his dealings with sailors.
Mr.. Watkins at once forwarded re-
quest to Washington that his resig-
nation be held up, SO that if Mr.. Davis
really wanted such an investigation,
Mr.. Watkins could give him the oppor-

vestigation proposed. Since then moth
ing has been heard from Attorney
Davis in the matter. Mr.. Watkins
wrote a long explanation to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
AS to his successor, it will have to be
some one who passed a civil service
examination. Mr.. Watkins, before TAX
ing office, passed the required examina-
ton. There We're five or six other ap-
plicants and only two went on the eli

PALENAPA'S
POOR PINCH
Arrests Wrong Man and
Vents Spite on
informant.

A pretty little mix-up occurred on
before II o'clock in which a lady fair
a sailor, a policeman, footballer and
another individual whose's name is un-
known took diverting parts.
Ernest Grune, the well-known "sock-
er" player, was waiting for a car at
the corner of Hotel and Bethel streets
England Bakery and engage in con-
versation with young lady therein.
Suspecting that the man was pestering
or insulting the woman he crossed the
street and found that his surmise was
correct.
The husky full-back pasted the man
on the jaw and then threw him out into
the street as a lesson to leave defense
less women alone.
The recipient of the soak walked
along Hotel street and fell in with a
couple of sailors For no apparent
reason he jumped one of them and the
pair were soon lying on the road, each
graphing with the other.
Big Policeman Palenapa came up at
an elephantine trot and stunned the
sailor with a blow to the neck. Then
he placed him under arrest.
Grune, who had been watching the
proceedings, went up to the policeman
and told him that he had arrested the
wrong man and pointed out that the
cause Of the trouble was then doing the
hot-foot act up the street.
You mind your own business and
don't meddle with me- replied Pale
napa.
The sailor was escorted to the po-i
lice station and Grune went along to
explain the true state of the case to
in authority. He found Sher-
ifs Assistant Vida in his office and
was telling him all about the affair
when Palenapa entered the office. hus-
lied Grune down to the receiving desk
and entered a charge of profanity
against both him and the sailor whose
name is j. Pierce. Grune was released
on digging up SO bail
Ernest Grune is young man of ex-
cellent reputation in the community
and is highly indignant at being ar
rested because he had the temerity to
suggest to policeman that he was
arresting the wrong man and allowing
the real offender to make good his
escape.

When Lydecker was here looking up
old records, he called the attention OF
a few old kamaainas to the fact that
it was here, in this old historic spot
that Kamehameha the Great proclaim
ed his constitution. This spot, which
is known to a few, should be marked
with a tablet engraved with a suitable
inscription. and as they are now dig
gfng UP the old cannons that were used
as posts to adorn the Court House

FEW DEAD IN
THE CLUB
FIGHT
Some Of the Humors of
LAST Friday Nights
Battle.

The smoke of Friday s battle in the
Precinct Clubs is clearing away, and
the dead are being counted. On the
whole, there are not many. Charlie
Coster, who fought, bled and fell in
single combat with Brother Jim Quinn
in the Fourth of the Fourth, seems to
be about the most nearly dead, al
though Deputy Sheriff Jack Kalakiela
might have come through the war with
more vivacity, perhaps
Jack is by no means dead one, how
ever, and viii put up pretty strong
fight at the primaries, if he does final
ly meet defeat in the club election next
Friday night. Which is not yet as
sured Charlie Coster has also been
heard to mutter something about the
primaries-or was heard to mutter
something about them as he went down
but Jim Quinn says that is because
he does not yet know he is dead
And, as the smoke clears away, the
humors Of the fight begin to become
more apparent. OF course there were
humors. That is the saving grace of
politics in Hawaii The native man
and brother is something of a humor-
ist, naturally, and then he is often pos
sessed of fine unconscious humor that
is irresistible
For instance: Matters were pretty
warm, as everybody knows, in the
Ninth of the Fifth District. That is
where Jack Kalakiela uses, and
Freddy Waterhouse, and Harry Won
Holt, and the inimitable Bernard the
Orator, leader of the infant division in
John Lanes Sunday school class.

limited period to say them in, it does
happen that the minutes fly. Time, to
saying with which some
persons are perhaps familiar, waits not
for the most talented and eloquent
speaker. It did not wait for Bernard
on Friday night.
Wherefore, the hour for closing NOM
nations came and passed while the
Orator was still Grating, and it was
well past the time when the charmed
and enthusiastic audience could pay
enough attention to anything but the
words of the speaker to look at its |

was made that the merciless hands of |

WARD AVENUE IS
TO Be GRADED UP

The closing Of the King street en-
trance to Ward avenue which is at
the Eva end of the Old Plantation
premises, gave rise to the rumor a day
or so ago that the street was to be
permanently closed, having been for
about four years merely a cow trail
to Kewalo.
Captain Sam Johnson. Road Super
visor states that d railroad track is
being laid from the coral dumps on
the Kewalo street side preparatory 70

swamp holes and bring the whole street
up to grade. In other words, Ward
avenue is to be made into fine street,
connecting King street with the Wal

KELLOGG TO
TAKE LAST
LOOK
Expects to Make Final
Examination of Dam
Today.

<sI will go up to the dam tomorrow
morning, my reports from there being
to the effect that everything will be
ready for me-" said 81. Clay Kellogg
last night on his return from Wahiawa
.'This will be my final examination
that is, unless something unexpected
turns up.
"After seeing the last of the dam
will finish my examination and testings
of the drill samples on file in the De
partment of Public Works, and 1 will
have to put in some time going over
the data regarding the amount of water
available for ground sluicing on the
Tantalus end of the dam. There is
very complete data in the Department
records and ] have also had a weir put
in to measure the present flow. Of
course there is greater volume of
water in the stream at present then
there has been for some time. Z"
The points which Mr.. Kellogg will
examine today are the ones about
which the greatest alarm has been ex-
pressed. The concrete core wall, in the
foundation of which ex-Inspector Pat
terson declares there is running
spring, is one of the places. Hereto
fore this has been hidden from inspec-
tion by accumulated water, which kept
pumps at work could handle it. This
section of the core wall is the only part
of it made of concrete and is intended
to strengthen the dam at the deepest
point. The substitution of concrete for
wood is one of the changes made in the
specifications by Assistant Superintend-
ert Rowland.
This concrete rests upon the bed
rock, but just at the Eva end where
the wooden core wall commences is the
mush pile. At this point no solid bot
tom was found, an iron rod being
pushed into the soft muck fourteen feet
below the bottom of the trench. In the
pit sunk over this spot to allow an ex-
animation, water was encountered in
considerable quantities. From what he
can see in the bottom of this pit, Mr..
Kellogg will judge as to the safety of
having this mush pile in the center of
the fill.
Somewhat similar formation has been
uncovered in the tunnel run under the
valve chamber, and it is up to the ex-
pert to state whether this mush is sat
isfactory as a foundation for the heavy
concrete tower, in which will be the
shut-off valves for the three efiuent
pipes piercing the dam on the inner

CHARLESTON FOR PACIFIC.

Sometime before the cruiser Charles
ton was selected to convey Secretary
of state Root to Brazil, she was slated
for the Pacific as flagship of the Pa
cffic squadron. The Charleston would
be a fine addition to the Pacific feet
and hopes are entertained that as soon
as she is through with her present mis-
sion she may receive orders to steam
around the Horn into these waters.
