tabled. Mr.. Holloway then asked for
an appropriation of Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars (s2oo,o00) water gen.
eral.. The House believing that he
would expend it in the way that he
was directed to do by the Legislature,
passed this appropriation. In view OF
the unanimous adoption of the COM
mittee report the House could never
have supposed that Mr.. Holloway
would take the money which it had
voted for the purpose OF securing a
supply of pure spring water to do the
very thing which it had refused nm
permission to do, but as soon as the
Legislature adjourned, Mr.. Holloway
took the matter into his own hands
and openly violated the express dlrec-
tions of the House by taking the money
which was appropriated for the secur-
ing of pure spring water to the bulld'
ing of this reservoir in Nuuanu valley,
which the House had refused to sanc-
ton. Such a high handed procedure
ought to subject Holloway to impeacn~
noent and the work should have been
stopped at it's very inception by in
junction. No one, however, seemed
to want to take the initiative and SO
the peoples money has not only peen
spent in direct violation of the Leg1s-
lature, but if the reports are true with
reference to the construction of TINS
dam, it has been squandered, and worse
than all, life and property jeopardized
to a frightful extent.
Mr.. Hollcway's purported statement
that it was the committee only, who
turned down the appropriation for
Nuuanu dam, is not true, as the COM
mittee report was unanimously adopt
ed by the House of Representatives OF
the last Legislature. and close by say
ing that the next Legislature will sift
this matter to the bottom, and ask
that all operations in connection with
this Nuuanu dam be suspended until
that time"
WHAT SCHUYLER WAS ASKED.
The points that are to be covered
by the expert S report are:
l. Are the plans and specifications.
as drawn by Mr.. Walker and approved
bv Mr.. Rowland and Mr.. Holloway OF
the Public Works Department, for
reservoir in Nuuanu valley, commonly
known as the Nuuanu dam, complete
in every detail?
Are all the alterations suggested
hv Mr.. Kellogg being carried out?
8. Is the work at the Nuuanu Gam
in it's present state of constructlon'
proper and safe?
T. If the dam is completed uiloer
the present plans and speclheauons'
will it be safe?
5. Your opinion upon the ehciency
of the dam when completed?

MANCHESTER ON
A SAD MISSION
Duke and Duchess Accompany
ing ''SiIent" Smiths Re-
mains to New York.

The Duke and Duchess of Manches-
ter who passed through here aboard
the S. s. Siberia yesterday, en- route
to the States, are on a sad mission.
They are accompanying the remains of
their friend, ]. Henry Smith, better
known as ''Silent" Smith, to their final
resting place in New York. Mrs. Smith
is also with the party.
James Henry Smith and his bride
were on a honeymoon trip from Europe
to the Orient, in their palatial steam
Yacht Margarita The Duke of Man
chester, one of Smiths most intimate
friends, together with the Duchess
were of the party. The voyage was
an ENJOYABLE one until, in the Indian
ocean, Smith complained of pains in
the head.
The original intent of the party had
been to proceed to Japan in the Mar
garita. but Smiths health gave such
cause for alarm when Hongkong was
reached that the yacht was left at
Hongkong and the distinguished voy-
ayers proceeded to Japan by the S. 5.
Korea.
The sick man grew rapidly worse and
on arrival at Kobe he decided to pro-
ceed to Kioto Immediately and undergo
the best medical treatment available.
In spite of the closest care and atten-
ton Smith died on March %, the cause
of death being diagnosed as Bright's
disease.
'sSilent" Smith was so called because
of his retiring and unostentatous dis
position. He was ffty-three years or
age. When quite young man he in
herited a fortune of $5O,OOO,OOO, from
which he has from time to time con-
tributed large sums tc charity.
