saltwater sold In the park on sunda,
afternoon from two tables but not from
carts
FERNS VIEWS
Fern said that the last board hat
permitted Kaillmai to allow people II
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 Kailimal should be warn
ed before being fired
The chair knew nothing Of this and
remarked 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 Kaillmai 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 stop to desultory question
ing by moving that the action OF the
chairman of the parks committee In
suspending Kailimai be sustained.
Archer said a good word for the old
parkkeeper. He thought that he should
be given another chance.
HAvEY'S SAY.
Harvey said that in the matter of
the sale of sodawater in the park, the
witnesses had been two to one against
Dwight and in Kailimai's favor. He
thought that Kailimai should be warn
ed but not dismissed. He doubted IL
the chairman of committee could dis
charge a county employe without the
matter having been brought to the at
tention of the board.
In reply to Hlstace's question Kali
mai said that he had been working
since suspended, on the advice of Fern,
Harvey, Kealoha and Archer.
HUsTACE WARNS UP.
Hustace got warm and called down
the four members mentioned for dar-
ing to act contrary to the mandate OF
chairman of a committee. He said
the matter ought never to have been
brought to the notice of the board.
Harvey said that he was glad to hear
that a chairman of a committee could
fire men Unfortunately. He might
feel like firing someone himself some
day.
what committee are you chairman
OF, anyway" Intercepted Hustace.
Harvey said that he wasn't chair
man but that that didn't make and
difference. Kailimai had had three
deaths in his family of late and that
kept him at home more than usual.
Hustace was set on having the old
man fined, so was Dwight. They SEEM
ed to make 1t point of personal dig
nifty and honor and the latter went so
far as to say that If Kailimai was re-
instated he would never act as chair
man of another committee.
THE CHAIR SURPRISED.
The chair was surprised that the
board took the advice of outsiders in
stead OF that of brother supervisors.
Archer checked Hustace with the
statement that he took nobody's word
but believed the evidence of his own
eyes.
ENTER DAVE.
Dwight said that If he had thought
his veracity would be doubted he would
have brought old Dave Crowningberg
along. He had gone to the ground with
Dwight and had seen everything.
HE was drunk" said a voice.
'He was as sober as you are" re-
torted Dwight.
HARVEY WOULD CLOSE.
Harvey moved that the closure be
applied.
Hustace said that he would see duty
done and would not have the discus
sion clicked off The whole thing
smelled strongly of politics.
That's it's" said Harvey, "and If
it's politics I'm full of politics.
EVERYBODY LIARS.
Hustace and Kailimai called each
other the equivalent of liars and Har-
vey called someone or other a liar
with such nerve and emphasis that Pa
lau said "auwe" and ran out of the
room.
Hustace told Kailimai that II he kept
his job he would have to toe the
scratch and said that If he didn't want
to do his work he had better resign.
cox WAKES UP.
Cox Clipped in and said that Kali
mai was trying to run the board.
go and attend to your business in
future" said Hustace to Kailimai.
DWIGHT WANTS VOTE.
I'VE haven't voted on Cox's motion
to uphold my action in suspendlng Ka-
ilimai.'" said Dwight.
For a long time no second was forth
coming.
Hustace finally seconded and on
vote CoX's motion was lost. to 3.
DWIGHT RESIGNS.
Dwight resigned as chairman of the
Parks Committee. He said that he had
tried to do his duty but that other
members of the board wanted to run
the whole show and that he would let
them do so.
HUSTACE WON'T ACCEPT.
Hustace refused to accept Dwights
resignation last night. saying that he
wished TO investigate the matter thor
roughly.
