PATTERSON
STANDS PAT
Refuses 70 Resign and
viii Stay Until
Discharged.

Tire Department of Public Works no
longer requires the services of Inspec-
tor Patterson around the new Nuuanu
reservoir, although he is at work there
for today at least. Yesterday he was
requested to hand in his resignation by
Assistant Superintendent Rowland,
who was visiting the work in company
of Superintendent Holloway.
The resignation was requested on the
grounds that the Inspector was insub
ordinate and had persisted in eriticis-
ing his superiors and bearing tales to
the newspapers. His qualifications as
an inspector and his work during the
past five months, since his appointment,
were not questioned.
But [ am not going to resign,'
said Mr.. Patterson last night. eff
they want to get rid of me they will
have to fire me. Rowland says | have
no business running around to the news
papers and giving copies of the official
communications regarding the work,
but | am prepared to stand by all the
things L have said. | am not going to
acknowledge myself even little wrong
by resigning and | will stay at work
until I am discharged. / think that
viii be about tomorrow
1t is known that Howland has been
wanting to discharge Patterson for
some time and was only restrained by
his chief, Mr.. Holloway, who until yes
terday had refused to sanction such ac
tion until the report of the examina-
ton experts was at hand.
Patterson was appointed an inspector
about FIVE months ago by H. d. Sill
man, who acted as Assistant Superin-
tendent during Mr.. Howland s absence
on vacation.

THE NUUANU DAM.

Editor Advertiser: l note what the
Star OF even date has to say in regard
to the strength of Nuuanu dam. No
one questions that the plans show a suf-
ficient amount of material in the dam,
or that its gravity section (weight) is
sufficient to resist the theoretical
thrust of the body of water to be re-
tanned, but people do question the use
and abuse of materials and methods.

DOUSE IS
FREE Man
Jury Returned Aequittal
Verdict Late Last
Night.

Not guilty was the verdict rendered
| last night in the case of Alfred Douse
tried for causing the death of Yama-
gata, Jap. by throwing gasoline on
him and setting it afire. The jury had
retired to consider their verdiet at a
|quarter to ten, remaining in the jury
room until nearly midnight.
Last nights session began at 7:sO, and
two hours We're consumed in the argu-
ments OF ". A. Kinney, attorney for
the defense. and Judge Humphreys. for
the prosecution. An interruption to the
jury's deliberation came at half past
ten, when a message was brought in
that the wife OF Juryman Mansfield
was dying, although even this serious
information was not allowed to cause
any Adjournment.
The tria! of Douse has been long
one and hard fought by both sides. and
until the prisoner went on the stand
in his own behalf it seemed to be going
against him. That he had set
fire to gasoline on the clothing of the
japanese workman was undenied, but
the circumstances leading up to the
burning were shown in the evidence of
Douse himself to make the act and it's
fatal consequences accidental
The prosecution had tried to prove
that Douse had first thrown gasoline
on the man and then set him on fire
The defense at first seemed to be rest
ing their case on the testimony of Maui
doctors that the burns had not been the
ceuse of death, but later put the pris-
oner on the stand. His testimony was
to the effect that in demonstrating to
the Jap the inflammable nature of gas
oline the accident occurred.

DEMOCRATS
TAKE RANK
Signs That Stalwarts
Are Still With the
Party.

| Tom. Dick and Harry from the country

dozen natives, adorned the sidewalk
outside Waverley Hall. the place of

Hall and hour later the number was
swelled to twenty-three and among
them moved Frank Harvey, muttering
ominously

to democratic hackdriver. The
country people are all here, though it
cost them 81 for car fare. and there
aren't half dozen Honolulu men in
sight I'm getting sick of it."
After a while Curtis Iaukea happen
ed along and after him dribbled such
sterling Gratis as John Effinger. j. CAL
braith, F. Turrill Harry Juen. Bob
Levy, L. H Timmons and Ex-Citizen
Testa.
For while good old political gab-
fest was held on the sidewalk and con-
tinred until Col. Iaulzea said We'll,
boys; let's go upstairs"

watched the coloners strategy. having
been drawn to the scene by the mag

ing held over a saloon.
Frank Harvey took the chair and the
meeting came to order.
The first business was the election
of an Advertiser reporter from the hall

to be freely mentioned and it looks as

Just what for. is at present hidden in

Presently a clamor arose which
sounded as if the thin brown line of

back.
It's safe to say that the frost is still
on the local democratic pumpkin.
