REAL HAWAIIAN DELEGATE.
Abilene Man Actually Represents
the Islands.

Mr.. and Mrs. George B. Mcclellan,
formerly Of Abilene but now Of Wash
ington, D. c., spent the night in town.
guests OF relatives and friends. They
are en- route home from Honolulu
where Mr.. Mcclellan vent with a
party Of congressman. He is private
secretary Of Prince Kuhui, the Ha-
waiian delegate to congress but Is
really the delegate himself SO far as
service goes. The party gave Mr..
and Mrs. Mcclellan handsome silver
service as a token Of appreciation.
Mr.. Mcclellan went to the Islands
as real estate agent and finally be-
came the private secretary Of Prince
Kuhui who is the regularly elected
delegate to congress. ut is not pos
sible to send a white man to con-
gress," explained Mr.. Mcclellan today,
"because the Islanders are in the
large majority and they are smart
enough to vote together. They elect
one Of their own number to represent
them and will continue to do SO for a
long time"
However, the prince, like all
princes, does not care particularly for
hard work and Mr. Mcclellan does.
The later stays in Washington and
writes the letters and makes the
speeches In the name Of the prince
and the prince stays most of the time
in the Islands and enjoys himself.
The congressional party was cared
for and managed by the Kansan.
rwcnty-four members and their wives
had a month Of education in the BUSH
ness conditions of the Islands and it
it expected that the visit will bear
fru in the legislation of next winters
session of congress.
"While we have no particular bill
that we are working for at this time"
explained Mr.. Mcclellan "there is a
great deal that ought to be done If
the United States wishes to do the
best for the Islands. A great empire
may be made there and II the sugar
interests are properly cared for and
regulated they should give to the
United business advantage that will
place this nation much farther ahead
than it is now in addition to building
up one Of our important possessions.
The Pacific is certain to become one
Of the important world-vantage
points and the strategic value of the
group should not be over
looked"
The congressional party gathered
vast amount Of statistics regarding
the productions and possibilities of
the Islands and while there we're
many receptions including a garden
party by the governor which the
native royalty attended, much prac-
tical good was accomplished and it
will become apparent in the coming
session Of congress. .--..

Captain George o. Lockwood COM
mandant at the Los Angeles Military

'structor at that institution, We're be-

BANDIT THEORY
PROVES WRONG
SUPPOSED WRITER OF LET
TIERS FOUND
Man Suspected of Sending 20 Mrs.
Joseph Maier Demands for Money
Is Arrested-Thought to
Be Insane

The theory of bandits and robbers,
who were supposed to be plotting the
death of Mrs. Joseph Maier, widow of
the late manager of the Maier & Zobe-
lein brewery, came to sudden halt
yesterday, when officers. went before
Judge Conrey in department five of the
superior court and swore out war
rant of insanity against James Lauer,
a former employe at the Maier place.
Lauer is said to be suffering FROM
melancholia, and his recent dismissal
from the Maier ranch at Glendale did
not better his condition. He had al
ways been looked upon as peculiar
man and several weeks ago his eccen-
tricities became such that he was dis
missed.
Shortly thereafter Mrs. Maier re-
ceiYed communications with Lauer' S
name signed to them, in which she
was told that if $1,000 was not forth
coming she would be killed.
In Hurry for Check
Mrs. Maier paid no attention to the
messages until she learned that Lauer
had been dismissed from the ranch.
quenCy and the demands were urgent.
She was warned to address the check
to Lauef and to hurry it up.
Then Mrs. Maier became alarmed
and notified the police. Officers were
sent to Glendale, but they could find
no trace of Lauer. He was reported to
have taken to the woods and to be
hiding at Robbers roost. Several sus-
piclous characters seen in the neigh
borhood gave rise to the theory that
a gang of desperadoes' were planning
to kill Mrs. Maier
Lauer, with one of his notes for ex-
tortion, was arrested at the Maier
home Saturday and locked UP in the
city Jail, while Mrs, Maier retired to
her country estate,
Yesterday the man began TO mutter
strange sentences and talk to himself.
After an examination by physicians
at the Jail it was decided that he was
demented or suffering from melan-
cholia.
An officer went before Judge Con-
rey and swore to the complaint, charg-
ing insanity. and today Lauer will be
examined by the commission.

to the manner of collecting and having
the householderS put the garbage in
proper vessels and at desirable loca-
tions.
THE present ordinance provides for
100 laborers; that is, men who work
on the streets, at S2.25 per day. The
ordinance we herewith submit calls for
seventy laborers at So per day and
seventy laborers at $2.25 per day. This
change is contemplated in order to re-
tain some men in the street depart
ment who are by reason of age or
otherwise, unable to earn 1925 per day.
1t is thought wise to make the change
in this respect rather than to discharge
all who are not le-bodied men.
''The ordinance at present provides
for wage and half for Sundays and
holidays. The one we herewith SUBJ
NIT makes the change to one and one
quarter, which was the prevailing rate,
we learn, before the raise of wages
made within the last year.
"Other changes in this department
are under consideration, but have not,
yet been definitely settled upon. The
above appears to be demanded for the
general efficiency of the department"

BIGGEST POLICEMAN

yesterday in company with Babe
Winerton. the biggest policeman on the

With dirty face and hands and soiled
dress the little miss stood beside her
big protector, looking up at him with
an air of confidence while the police
man bent over her in an effort to find
out her name.
my mamma des' calls me darlin',"
lisped the little miss, and nothing more
could be learned from her.
She was found wandering around the
corner of First and Alameda streets by
Winerton early in the afternoon. He
made many efforts to find her parents
but without success, and at last de-
cided to take her to the police station
She is about years of age and is

PROMISE BETTER
STREET SERVICE
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS RE-
ARRANGES WAGES
Garbage Inspection to Be Placed in
Superintendent's Charge-Pro-
vides for More Teams
and Laborers

One of the important matters to be
considered at the next meeting of the
committee of the whole is the proposed
rearrangement of salaries in the street
department.
Changes in ordinances and the
growth OF the city have suggested that
the pay roll be altered in conformity
with new needs, as expressed in the re-
port of the board of public works:
The ordinance establishing the
salaries of employees in the bureau of
street maintenance and inspection pro-
vides the following changes from the
ordinance now in force:
1.-The chief field deputy inspectors
salary, now $3.50 per month, is made
SITS per month; he to furnish his own
horse and buggy. This officer is prac-
tically the superintendent. of repairs of
the streets throughout the city and has
charge of all the ward foremen, neces-
stating the use of a horse and buggy.
which he has hitherto furnished at his
own expense. He is on duty practically
all the time, nights and Sundays, es-
pecially in cases of storm.
Handles $50 Men
"The secretary to the inspector of
public works salary, at present 1925,
is changed to $1S5 per month. His du-
ties are numerous, as he has charge
of filing ali the vacancies that occur
in the force of something like 250 men
in the department, and reporting
changes to the civil service commits
sion and securing the help when certi-
fled to by the said commission; also,
he has charge of the reports of the
various inspectors and the general du-
ties of the Office of the inspector of
oublic works.
"At present we have two engineers
of street sweeping machines, at sala-
res of $110 per month. If we put the
street flushing machines in use, which
we hope to do, it is probable we will
not use both sweeping machines all
the time, so we ask that the ordinance
be amended to provide for one engineer
on a monthly salary of $40 as it is
now, and one engineer at a wage of
$3.75 per day.
"rheN foreman of the asphalt gang,
who furnishes his own horse and bug
gy and now has charge of two repair
crews, at present receives 800 per
month, and his salary is changed to
sos per month.
THE present ordinance provides for
fifty-fiVe drivers of teams, and we ask
that the number be changed to sixty,
as we will put more teams to work as
soon as the weather will justify it.
Better Garbage Inspection
1.-The present ordinance calls for two
garbage inspectors at salaries of 500
per month"; These positions are not
filled and i'm lieu Of these we ask for
one assistant to the superintendent of
garbage collection at a salary OF 500
per month. II we can get the right
man we hope to make the collection Of
garbage more satisfactorily, both as
