ROW OVER
$50 COSTS
CHIEF JUSTICE HAhIW ELL
THINKS MRS. NAKUINA SHOWED
CONSIDERABLE COMPLACENCE.
HARI'W ELL

The Supreme Court this morning
listened to the complaint Of Mrs. Ma
kuin9, against the disallowing of costs
amounting to about $50 which she
claimed as due her for services as
Commissioner of Public Ways and Wa
ter Rights, which position she former
ly held.
The costs which she claims were
mileage and per diem allowances for
attending twenty-one hearings which
were continued on account of the at
torneys not being ready to proceed.
Attorneys Thayer and Magoon defend
ed themselves against the charge that
they had unnecessarily delayed the
game, and denied her right to the
costs she demanded
The case in which all the trouble
arose from was on the matter of clos
ing up a drive way on King street
near \the fish market which had come
to be- considered public property. 1t
was entitled Annie K. Woolsey VS.. Lee

Mrs. Nakuina presented her claim in
writing and made an exceedingly able
argument in her own behalf. She said
that she had attended 23 times when
the hearing of the case had been set.
but was continued at the request of
attorneys for one reason or another.
She always allowed times for the hear
ings to be set by the attorneys them
selves, and some of them were always
missing and advantage taken of this
fact for asking for continuance.
The Court took the matter under ad-
visement, Chief Justice Hartwell re-
marking to Mrs. Nakuina as she clos
ed her address that he felt that her
illustrious uncle, Judge Metcalf of the
Massachusetts, supreme court, under
similar circumstances would scarcely
have been so complacent as she had

be made so that any size of ship can
safely enter the harbor. AS it is now
there is about 80 feet of water over
the bar and quite a considerable depth
inside, but before the harbor can be
made safe Tor larger ships good deal

get your idea gentlemen about this
important matter and when Congress
meets in the fall they will be able to
decide something near the necessary
amount needed for the work"
At the close of Admiral Very's ad-
dress, Captain OtweH stated that with
$4,000 available the survey for the
determination of the work to be done
would occupy about four months.
A resolution was offered by E. D.
Tenney approving the plans for the
improvements, and urging that con-
gress take prompt action in appropriat-
ing the 100000 or $5OO,OOO necessary
for the work 1t was adopted.

AWNINGS
TONIGHT
SUPERVISORS WILL RECEIVE PRO
TEST AND TAKE ACTION ON
THE ORDINANCE.

I'VE will show them tonight say
members of the Board of Supervisors,
who favor the awning ordinance, mean
ing that the board will pass the Or
dinance at the meeting this evening.
II intend to be at the meeting and
urge that the board respect the wishes
of the people and suppress the or
dinance," says ]. A. McCandless.
The principal matter of interest at
the meeting of the supervisors this
evening is expected to be the ordinance
to compel owners of buildings in Homo
lulu to put cutters along their awnings
so that rainwater will be drained away
instead of falling from the roofs to the
sidewalk cutters.
1t is said by those in touch with
the board that the ordinance will pass,
but this will not be accomplished with
out a protest from McCandless and
probably some others. The question
created lively row after the last meet
ing and there may be a warm discus
sion tonight.
The Chairman of the Board of Super
visors has received a petition signed by
Is residents of the Koolaupoko district
asking that the road from Panioi to
the property of Mrs. Silva and David
Watson be repaired, as it is in a very
bad and dangerous condition. Moth
ing has done on this road since the
county took charge of road work, and
the petitioners claim that the work
will not cost more than $100. The
board is also asked to repair the
bridges in that district. The matter
will be taken up at the regular meet
ing of the board that will be held to-
night at seven thirty.

his remarks were the cause of the
meeting today,
The Chamber took formal ac-
ton by adopting resolutions on the
subject, the resolutions to be sent to
the proper parties in Washington and
elsewhere. The Admiral gave much
encouragement of the hope that the
Federal government can be induced to
begin some work at the harbor, in view
of a showing Of a commercial, as we'll

vailed among the Is races that make
up the population of the island terri
tory.
Secretary Straus was met in quaran-

Cornell university, commissioner OF
immigration. The Secretary will make
a short stay in California before re-
turning to Washington.
Speaking of his trip he said:
