THE BIG ROW.
Dwight complained that Parkkeeper
Kailimai of Aala Park didn't attend to
his work and allowed sodawater
wagons to stand in the park during
baseball games on Sunday. He also al
lowed people to crowd into the band
stand during the games, and had done
all these things in the face of warnings
issued by Supervisors Dwight and Ke-
aloha. Wherefore Dwight had suspend
ed Kailimai subject to the action of the
board.
KAILIMAI TALKS.
Kailimai who was present, was call
ed upon to explain. He said he had
violated no orders The japanese
wagons had been on the Frear property
which is divided from the park by an
imaginary line. He had not received
any orders to keep people out of the
grandstand either from Kealoha or
Dwight. He had forbidden japanese
vendors to dispose of their
wares in the park.
Archer said he had been at the park
on Sunday afternoon. He saw two
vendors but they were on
the Frear premises.
Bernard Kelekolio, the boy orator
and baseball magnate, said that he saw
afternoon from two tables but not from
carts.
FERNS VIEWS.
Fern said that the last board had
permitted Kailimai to allow people in
the grandstand and make a small
charge for admission to pay for chairs
placed in the stand for the convenience
of spectators of the ball games. He
thought that Kailimai should be warn
ed before being fired
The chair knew nothing of this and
that the former board didn't
govern the present one.
PALAU CALLED.
Dwight called on Palau, the newly
appointed parkkeeper to substantiate
his statement that Kailimai did not at
tend to his duties as a general thing.
Palau said that Kailimai was his own
boss and did his work as he saw fit.
He was there during working hours
but read the newspaper before coming
to work. He didn't leave the grounds
unless his family was in trouble. On
the whole he did his work all right.
Cox put a stop to desultory question
ing by moving that the action of the
chairman of the parks committee in
Kailimai be sustained.
Archer said a good word for the old
He thought that he should
De given another chance.
HAVEY'S SAY.
Harvey said that in the matter or
he sale of sodawater in the park, the
witnesses had been two to one against
Dwight and in Kailimafs favor. He
thought that Kailimai should be warn
ID but not dismissed. He doubted If
he chairman of a committee could dis
:harge a county employe without the
natter having been brought to the at
ention of the board.
In reply to Hustace's question Kali
mai said that he had been working
since suspended on the advice of Fern,
Harvey, KeaIoha and Archer.
HUSTACE WARNS UP.
Hustace got warm and called down
he four members mentioned for dar-
ng to act contrary to the mandate of
chairman of a committee. He said
he matter ought never to have been
brought TO the notice of the board.
Harvey said that he was glad to hear
hat chairman of a committee could !
ire men indiscriminately. He might |
eel like firing someone himself some !
