AWARD IS
REGULAR
ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT
ROWLAND MERELY ACTED AS
AN OFFICIAL TO SECURE PUMP

"The award of the contract for the
new high lift pump for use at the
Nuuanu dam," said Superintendent of
Public Works Holloway this morning,
was perfectly regular.
"Mr. Schuyler, the engineering ex-
pert who came here to inspect the dam
during the session of the legislature,
approved of certain suggestions made
by this department for work on the
dam, and it was desired to proceed
without any delay in the matter. So
when the new appropriations were
passed it was decided that a high lift
pump was required. A 75-horse-power
gasoline pump is quite a big thing to
produce on immediate delivery and this
was the important consideration in
making the purchase.
after Mr. Howland went to the
Coast cabled to him to look around
and ascertain if such a pump could not
be secured, the condition providing for
immediate delivery. I asked Howland
to secure tenders for supplying such
pump. He did so and secured such
tender from S. F. Alden & Co. of San
Francisco and the tender was sent to
me.
Tenders were advertised for in the
local papers, the advertisement being
inserted for one day only Cation &
Neill saw the advertisement and came
and secured the specifications, but did
not make any bid. Evidently the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works failed to see the
advertisement. The ad had specified
that the bids were to be opened within
three days, the important requirement
being that the bid be made upon the
basis of immediate delivery.
"a complaint was made on behalf Of
the Iron Works. l then consulted with
the Attorney General relative to the
matter and was advised by him to pro-
ceed at once with awarding the con-
tract which was done.
objection can hardly be made to
the fact that the advertisement was in
serted in the papers for only one day.
can show numerous instances dur
ing previous administration of this
department where exactly the same
thing was done" 4s#

APPEALS
ARE HEARD
TWO MEMBERS OF COURT ARE
DISQUALIFIED IN SOME CASES
AND WILL RESIGN.

The Tax Appeal Court will announce
it's first decisions on Monday after
noon, unless there be some unexpected
delay. The stenographer has been di-
rected to write up all Of the evidence
at once, so that the court can consider
the various cases. The intention of
the members of the court is to decide
all of the cases that have thus far
been presented for their consideration.
Among the cases that have been heard
are the appeals of Dillingham;, the
Judd Building Company, the Austin
Estate and Henry e. Cooper. 1t is
likely that all of these cases will be
promptly decided for the reason that
no very intricate points are involved.
All Of the members of the present
court will not be able to serve out the
entire term. Two of them, Willard e.
Brown and Jas. F. Morgan are dis
qualified in several matters that are
to come up later and as there is no
) provision in the law in event of dis
qualification, the only course that can
be followed is for them to resign and
to allow new members to be appointed.
The reason Of this disqualification is
the fact that Brown and Morgan were
members of the special board of ap-
praisers in the recent Lanai exchange.
They had to place valuations on the
Coney, Maertens, Hopper and an En-
ma street properties, which were Civ
en- the government in exchange for
the Lanai land. An appeal on some
of this property has been taken to
the Tax Appeal Court, and it would
hardly be proper for the two original
appraisers to pass upon the Coney
matter which is up for decision.
In consequence of this situation it
has been decided that any cases upon
which any of the members of the court
are disqualified from sitting will be
moved on until the latter part of the
session of court, and the new ap-
pointees of the court can pass upon
them.
The present court will continue as it
is composed at present, and pass upon
as many cases as possible, so that on
ly the appeals from which the MEM
bers are disqualified will be left to the
new members Of the court.
Under the law the court has to COM
plete its work by June 90 The pres
ent court will have to work rapidly
next week. The court holds no session
today, but will meet as usual at 1880
p. m. Monday at the Judiciary build
ing.

WOMAN GRAPPLES
WITH BURGLAR
ATTEMPTED TO ASSAULT RES
CUER WITH sCYTHE-NoTED
CHINESE CROOK is CAPTURED.

A Chinese lady returned to her home
at Moanalua, near the suburban resi-
dence of the Honorable Samuel Da-
mon yesterday, to find a man in her
room. When she opened the door she
saw his back and he was shopping over
her treasure chest, a quaint old-fash-
ioned strong-box of the kind that Cap
tain Kidd was wont to chuck on the
beach occasionally and cover with
sand, thus hiding gold till next he
called. She did not faint or scream
but forthwith grappled with the in
truder who proved to be a Chinese.
AS she struggled she yelled for help
and another Chinese came to the res
cue. The burglar attempted to attack
the rescuer with a scythe. Oficer Oku-
mai was at once notified and he took
hand in the game.
Chu Su is the robbers name and he
is recognized by Chief of Detectives
Taylor as a much-wanted and noted
Oriental crook, as smooth as they are
made. He was gloating over about
$115 worth of Jade and ebony and gold
ornaments in the strong box when sur
prised by the pluclky woman who grab
bed him and so brought about HIS ar
rest.

Voice From
The Tomb

1t sounded like voice from the
tomb this week in the Court of Land
Registration. An old native lady nam
ed Mary Makai, whose age is 101 years,
was a witness before the court on a
claim of adverse possession to some
land on Vineyard street. Mrs. Fannie
Strauch sought a registered title to
the land. Mary had lived on the land
for many, many years, and she sought
to prevent the title being issued to the
petitioner.
Mrs Makai remembered distinctly
who had occupied the land long before
the distribution of public domain in
1S43 occurred. Her brain is still clear
and she was very smart witness. Her
evidence was the most interesting that
has yet been given in the Land Regis
tration Court. Mrs. Strauch got her
registered title however.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-06-08

open to receive expression from all
present.
With the exception Of two or three
members who spoke briefly in support
of the Opera House site from aesthetic
reasons, every other member spoke
strongly for a more central location,
either specifically or generally. The
arguments in favor of the Mahuka site
or Bishop site opposite the Young
Hotel, were tnat this would put the
post Office, courts, and other public Of
fees where they are easily accessible,
which they would not be in the Irwin
location.
Several OF the members took oeca-
sion to strongly criticize the governor
for his part in the matter John Emme-
luth e. A. McInerny and w. w. Harris
accused the executive of double deal
ing in the matter, and thought the
Merchants Association should stand
firmly for what it had determined upon
as the best location when the matter
was previously up.
After all the expressions had been
heard, by unanimous vote it was de-
cided to oppose having the Federal
building located on the Opera House
property on the ground of it's in
convenient location, and to cable the
sense of the meeting to Washington.
r. w. Shingle told the meeting Of his
negotiations for the opening of the
street. He said that he had been block
ed in the first place in his efforts TO
start condemnatory proceedings, by
the governor, who refused to accept
a petition presented to the Superinten-
dent or Public Works( and who had
the power to withhold acceptance OF
such street for a year, which was
longer than the Federal government
could
He had then tried to compromise
with the governor. and after a good
deal of trouble had got a commission
appointed, and agreement to accept
the tsreet if it could be opened to the
waterfront by the expenditure of ST.
500. BY being delayed in the matter,
he had exceeded the time limit set,
and consequently had to lay down his
hand, when he thought the matter was
just at head.
Mr.. Shingle refused to commit him
self regarding whether or not the
Union Feed Company would give the
necessary right of way now, or would
have done so. but it is authoritatively
given out from other sources that at
the last meeting of the Union Feed
Company which was called but not
held on account of the matter being
called off, would have granted the me-
cessary right of way; and that it still
stands ready to to do.
AS was pointed out, however, by Mr..
Shingle the Governor may still block
the deal, with the Federal Government,
unless years time can be secured
for opening the street, by refusing 70
accept the street as public property
for that length of time.
