THE MOTION
WAS NOT PUT.
Chairman Hustace Sat
on Unauthorized
Payroll.

ct refuse to put the notion" said
Chairman Hustace; and he didn't.
It was Supervisor Harvey's motion to
pay payroll of s206 for macadamizing
a road through High Sheriff Henry, s
propert,. on the other side of the is
land, work which the board never or
dered and which it never heard of un-
til the payroll was sent in.
The matter came up in the meeting
of the Board of Supervisors last night
when Supervisor Kealoha asked about
it. Chairman Dwight of the road COM
mittee said he had been unable to find
out who ordered the work done.

Hustace, 81 think it was in March,
Supervisor Kea1oha spoke to me about
this road which he said High Sheriff
Henry had spoken to him about. I
told him that Mr.. Dwight and were
going around the island very soon to
look over road conditions and we would
look at this. We did not get over as
soon as we expected and meanwhile
Mr.. Kealoha told me that the work had
been done. I asked him who had or
dered it done, and he said he did not
know; that he had not but that he
had told High Sheriff Henry what I
had said. Mr.. Kealoha did not order
the work done. The board did not
order it done. The road committee did
not order it done. Neither did our en-
gineer or the road supervisor of that
district We know that from the time
work was first begun on it until it was
finished was nearly two months. Yet
no payrolls were presented during that
time. The board had no representative
there to know whether the work charg-
ed for was really done, or not. 1t is
a bill we cannot pay. IF we pay this
bill we have no way of knowing
wllen we will have another one and
a dozen other ones like it to pay; pay
rolls which we do not authorize and of
which we know nothing

ENGLAND'S INFAMOUS
PRISON GONE

LONDON, March 23.-The ro-
nance as we'll as the misery and
shame of old Newgate prison, Eng
lands most famous jail, has just
been revived by the dedication of a
magnificent modern prison ana
court building TO replace the vile,
ancient buildings which had be-
come the pest spot of England.
Newgate dated back to the 18th
century. For over 500 years 1t was
hell on earth for all classes of
criminals mixed in promiscuously,
subject to tortures by keepers, to
epidemics of disease which more
than once emptied II into the
grace yards and to every known hu.
man discomfort. These conditions
existed Hp to modern years. and
the sanitary conditions especially
were impossible to reform. So the
whole pile was razed in 1902.

BOY ADMITS
FAKE STORY

81 lied" Such was the state
ment made yesterday afternoon to
Detectives Briley and Herndon by
Floyd Brown. the high school stu
dent who yesterday morning re-
ported to the police that he had
been attacked in the dark the night
before and shot. He refused utterly
to explain his reasons for telling
such a story. The police were at
first inclined to believe it. because
Floyd exhibited school book
which had been shot through. The
powder marks were on it. But he
went a bit TOO far and said that the
powder had burned his clothing. A
hole in the clothes, penetrating
coat, vest and underwear, but his
body bore no marks.
1t was the latter fact which led
the officers to believe he was tell
ing an untruth. The detectives Wis
tied his home at 419 Montgomery
av.. where they found Floyd's pts.
tol. 1t had recently been shot. To
explain this the boy said he had
loaned II to a friend. who had used
it. Floyd would not admit that he
had fired the shot through his
books and clothing.

WAS ROBBED
Of HIS SHARE

George Goldfnch, the young man
arrested Thursday night by Pa
trolman Haywood and booked on
suspicion of being a holdup, and
who was afterward identified as
such by S. A. Moore. a stockman,
has an interesting history. 1t was
due to his cool head and informa-
ton that Harry Tracey, the noted
outlaw, was captured. Tracey
reached Eddy's ranch about the
same time young Goldfinch did.
Tracey promptly forced the boy
into his service and kept him
prisoner for three days. The fourth
day Goldfinch escaped, went to a
farmers telephone and paid a
dollar for a long conversation with
officers at Creston, Wash. Sheriff
Farrell organized posse and
reached the ranch just after De-
tectiyes Stauffer and Gemmrig, OF
this city, arrived. When the detec-
tives were near the ranch Gold
finch met them and boldly lea
them to the place where Tracey
was last seen. Tracey's horses
were in the corral and when the
posse arrived they surrounded the
wheat field Tracey fed into and
later discovered the outlaw dead,
shot by his own hand.
In the fight for the reward the
court decided that young Goldfnch
should have a portion of it. He
said today that he never saw a
cent of the reward. The boy since
his arrest has borne up we'll under
the questions by Chief of Police
Waller and maintains his innocence
of holdup.

man seemed to have a special attrac-

the queens navee. This was strap

one of the occasions, having been for

The boatmen were not quite so alert |

AIR ALWAYS FULL OF DUST.

Particles Not Observed Because Too
Small to Reflect Light.
"A most interesting study" a prom.
lnent government scientist recently re-
marked, SIS that of what might be
/ termed the foreign elements of the at
mosphere. The earth's atmosphere
contains an enormous quantity of dust,
and 1t Is everywhere, In the country as
well as in the towns.
THE reason why we do not see II
constantly Is that the particles do not
reflect enough light to make an impress
sion on the retina. A ray of bright
sunlight In a dark room reveals in
Vulnerable particles, and yet the mil
lions we see are but small proportion
Of the whole, being the larger par
ticles.
1T is not at all difficult to collect
these particles for the purposes of
study. Probably the most successful
way is that first used by Pasteur, who
drew stream Of air through tube
containing nltrated cotton. The cot
ton was then dissolved by treating II
with ether and the residue washed and
dried. The particles may be meas
ured by means OF fine mlcrometer, a
late perfection Of which enables meas
urements Of as little as one seventy
millionth Of an inch to be- made.
How these particles are loosed In |
the air may be readily seen when II |
is remembered that all mechanical &C
ton has tendency to reduce to pow.
der whatever substance Is in fraction
al contact, even the waves beating upon
The shore make a dust. Rain In falling
collects considerable quantities of this
lust and snow still larger amounts
This accounts for the red snow some
times heard Of, the color being caused
by mineral particles.
"Of the total weight of the atmos-
'ner!c dust about 60 to 70 per cent is
matter. This portion Is alb
'olutely harmless, but In the 25 to 35
yer cent of organic matter are to be !
ound germs of almost every kind. and
In cities is this percent
ge dangerous to humanity. S
I'm the inorganic portion have been
