New York, Jan .1S.-If there is any
one in New York who is willing to
come to the defense Of women who
desire 10 smoke in public restau-
rants, he will have an opportunity to
be heard on Monday. when the com
mittee OF laws and legislation of the
board of aldermen will give public
hearing on the ordinance introduced
by Alderman Sullivan making 1t a
misdemeanor for restaurant on hotel
Keepers TO allow women to smoke in
public rooms. The ordinance is the
result of the recent action Of several
restaurants in removing
the ban on women's smoking in the
public dining rooms. Alderman Sui
liyan admits that his ordinance is
without doubt unconstitutional. but
he believes that if 1t is passed by
the board it will be considered as an
expression of public opinion, and
will therefore deter women from
smoking in public.

ment, which showed an increase of
$26, 1S5, 800 in the amount of cash held

not thought to be a record one, but it
is believed to approach within a few
millions of the largest increase ever
recorded in single week in this city.
Financiers declare that it showed
clearly that the interior banks were
entirely treasured by the showing of
the banks last week. when, for the
first time since October, surplus of
reserve was established in place of
the deficit which had long existed. In
consequence, the interior banks sent
their surplus and cash to New York,

The threatened strike OF street car
employees of the Pensacola Electric
Co, which seemed imminent, has
been averted. This is due to the en-
ployes, the officials of the company,
and the good services Of the commit
tee appointed by President T. A Jen-
nings of the Chamber of Commerce.
The new agreement is a renewal
OF the old contract existing between
the company and the union for one
year.
President G. C. Mccain and Secre-
tarY> A. Sara, of the union, gave out
the following resolution adopted by
their order. addressed to the public:
The Reasons.
Whereas there existed a difference
on the question of services and wages
between the Pensacola Electric Co.
and the employees,
And, whereas, we, the employees,
having taken into consideration the
financial conditions at tn S time and
the many unemployed men in the
country; also that we realize that
were the employees to call strike at
this particular time it would greatly
Inconvenience the travelling public,
and perhaps cause further depres-
sion in the business community;
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
the employees of the Pensacola Elec-
trio Co.. agree to accept for one year
the agreement as originally drawn
mp between tile Company a7d Tia
conference committee OF the EN-.
ployes' association:
"And, DE it further resolved, that
we extend our sincere thanks to his
honor, the mayor Of Pensacola, and
the members Of the Chamber Of
Commerce, for their efforts in our be-
half to bring about this amicable set
Element OF the differences between
the company and the employees"
(Signed) c. c. Mccain, President,
S. A Sara, Secretary.
The Terms.
The old contract will keep in force
the present wage basis of sixteen
cents for extras and eighteen cents
for regular men. The following addi-
tional clauses were added to the
agreement:
First, If men report defective
brakes on cars in their charge and
any accident should occur before such
car Is repaired, the motorman and
conductor In charge shall be held
blameless for such accident.
Second, II any motOrman or con-
iiuctor is discharged by the COM
pany and is subsequently found TO be
not guilty of the charge upon which
ne was discharged. he will be rein
stated with pay for the time lost dur
ing the period of his discharge from
the employ of the company
In addition to the above new
clauses in the agreement, the COM
Dany officers also agreed to have a
cashier to meet each car as it is run
into the barn at night who viii re-
ceipt each conductor for fares taken
by him during the day.

EWA'S ROAD SUPERVISOR
LIVED A GAY, GLAD LIFE

Taking up a collection of two dollars
apiece from the members of the road
gang in the Eva road district in order
to buy a Christmas present of suit
of clothes for himself and another for
Supervisor Archer, running up bills in
the local stores for the county and
holding back the accounts from being
presented before the Board of Super
visors, and going off on sprees of days
and sometimes weeks while the labor
ers whiled away their time in the
shade of the banana trees. are some
of the things laid at the door of George
Nawaakoa, the district road supervisor
of Eva.
These are the charges that Chair
man Hustace limited at at the last
meeting of the Board, after investigat-
ing what Supervisor Archer termed
neglect" These are the things that
will be reported at the next meeting
of the Board by the special committee
which visited Eva on Thursday and
secured the particulars. AS a result
of the Investigation it is probable that
Georges head will fall.
For some time there have been com
plants coming in from Eva. Although
there seemed to be many men on the
county payrolls there and regular ap-
voted for them, next in
amount to those voted for Honolulu,
yet the road work only crawled along,
on some days requiring a microscopic
examination to see that anything had
been done at all by all the teams,
drivers, shovelers and rock crushers
maintained at the public expense 1t
was limited that the road supervisor
was looking on the wine when it was
reddest at these particular times OF
inactivity and that the
workmen hated to do anything during
his absence.
1t was all right as long as the la
oorers could draw their pay without
working for it, but it was a different
thing when the road supervisor called
upon each man for a two dollar divvy
apiece for konohi clothes for himself
and Archer. The men on the county
