A SPURIOUS s5 BILL
On Genuine Paper-Dangerous and
Decisive Counterfeit.

Washington, Dec. IA new
counterfeit SIS silver certificate, In
dian head, has been discovered by
secret service officials, who declare
that 1t is a dangerous and decisive
counterfeit.
1t is said to be successfully decep-
tive by reason of the fact that it is
printed on genuine paper which has
been obtained by bleaching a note of
small denomination, probably a 81
bill.
In bleaching the note the color has
been taken out Of some Of the dis
tributed silk fibre lying close to the
surface, but the deeply embedded
fibre is still visible in the paper,
though the blue has been changed to
purple and the red has been some
what lightened.
The baC.. Of the note is deceptive,
but is blue green and darker than
the genuine.

ROAD JOBS To
BE CONSOLIDATED
County Engineer and Road
Supervisor to Be
Same Man.

It is reported on more or less sub
stantial grounds that the Office of Coun-
Is Engineer is to be wiped out when
Mayor Fern picks up the reins of office
and that that office is to be combined
with that of Road Supervisor, with
John Wilson in charge of the dual job.
This will dispose of County Engineer
Gere and Road Supervisor Cummins and
make only one nomination fight neces-
sary to fill both positions.
No authoritative statement to either
confirm or deny this report could be
obtained yesterday from those Demo
Gratis supposed to be in the confidence
of Mayor Fern and his advisers, while
the Republican leaders had heard only
rumors of the proposed consolidation
to say much about it. Mr.. Gere, him
self, had heard the report, but did not
know to what extent to credit it.
In the meanwhile he is going ahead
with the ound-the-island road, making
splendid progress. Last month practi-
caIly a mile of macadam was added to
the two wings of this belt road, 1400
feet being completed IN the Kaneohe
district and $500 In Waialua. In the
Eva district, owing to recurring break
downs of the rock crusher in use there,
only grading has been going on for the
past couple Of weeks.
One section of this road, the import
ant section, that on the Pail proper, is
reported to be wearing out very fast.
This is the section of road which the
Board of Supervisors has authorized
the oiling of on three or four separate
occasions during the past year, which
conserving work has been blocked as
many times by Supervisor Dwight,
chairman of the road committee, for
reasons known only to himself.
The road accounts of the country
districts for the year are now being got
together for statistical purposes, the
totals up to October 81 being in. From
these totals it is learned that approx
mately 100000 will have been put on
the out-of- town roads since January /
last by the end of this year Up to
October 81. the various districts had
received the following amounts on
their roads, much of which has gone
into the macadam belt road: Koolau-
poko, $23, ,966.84: Waialua, $24, ,244,90;
Eva, $32,175.12; Waianae, $4,218.14;
Koolauloa, $4,61933. Total, $89, ,224.33
During the coming year it is expected
that the belt road will be brought very
near to completion. ]. B. Castle has IN
formed the county officials that by the
beginning of the year he expects to
have his Koolau lands in such shape as
regards titles as to be able to negotiate
with the county for a right -of-way
through them to avoid the beach sec
tion at Kahana, so much dreaded by
automobiles.

water rights for all of them. The
leases will contain conditions as to the
use of the water designed to secure
equitable distribution of it.
1t is believed that this will offer op-
portunity for men of energy, but of
comparatively small means to engage
in cane planting under conditions Civ
ing prospect of success. The lands are
midway between two sugar mills with
railway connection possible and prac-
ticable with each, and every reason to
believe that advantageous contracts for
the grinding of cane can be made with
one or the other of them.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith has Just
returned from Kauai, where this project
among others was taken up on the
ground.
Among other matters he took up was
the matter of beach lots at Hanalei.
The location of these was decided on.
At Anahola lots on the fat viii be laid
out and sold.
At Kapaa everything was arranged
for the disposition of the lots there.
Some of these will be on the 999 year
lease plan The lots disposed of on
this plan viii consist of a house lot on
the Kula land near the shore and about
an acre of wet or taro land higher up.
Lots will also be sold for cash pay
ments and also on time payments.
A system of waterwOrks IS being de-
vised for this village at Kapaa.

In the absence of the president and

the special committee was called for.
Report and Resolution.
F. J. Lowrey, chairman of the special
committee, read the following report;
"The committee to which was re-
change of the Federal building site,
begs leave to report as follows:
CATER reference to all the actions
taken in selecting and acquiring the
Mahuka site, it does not seem possible
that an exchange can have been def
nitely agreed upon. but an inquiry to
Washington has been made and it is a
matter of regret that an answer has
not yet been received.
"There seems to be practically a
unanimous sentiment that the change
should not be made, and there exists
a deep resentment that an attempt
should have been made to effect a
change in the face of the general opin-
ion that, all things considered, the
Mahuka site was the most favorable to
the great majority of those interested.
"The committee recommends that
the Chamber send today cable to the
Honorable George B. Cortelyou, to read
as follows:
Secretary Treasury, Washington:

merce and community respectful
ly protest against change Federal
building site and urge that action
be suspended pending receipt writ

"There is also submitted for your
consideration a set of resolutions and

copies of correspondence, also attesfed

that these papers, together with news

In no uncertain manner the CONNER
cial bodies of Honolulu took action yes
terday in special meetings TO voice a
protest against any exchange of the
Federal building site purchased for the
Irwin site. The resolution adopted at
the meeting of the Merchants Asso-
citation stated the general public disap-
proval of the proposed exchange and
asked for delay in the consummation of
the deal until the reasons against it
could be presented. The report of the
committee also suggested the taking of
a postcard vote of the citizens in order
that the fullest possible expression of
opinion might be had to present to the
Treasury Department.
At the Chamber of Commerce, the
resolution adopted referred to the
practically unanimous sentiment against
the exchange" and also the 'Edeep re-
sentiment - felt against the transaction
under discussion. The committee re-
port advised cabling to the Secretary
of the Treasury and to the Delegate
asking for suspension of action in the
matter. The report was adopted by a
vote of thIrty-six to two, E. I. Spald-
ing and Richard Ivers composing the
minority.
At both meetings the various remarks
made were temperate in language but
emphatic in the sentiments expressed.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MEN FOR DIAMOND HEAD
Mounting of Great Mortar Battery on Crater
Fortifications More Than Half
Finished.

Diamond Head, while around and
above all the redoubt is a massive wall
and covering of concrete.
Major Winslow, Engineer Corps, T..
S. A, in charge of all Army engineer
work in the Islands at present, has no
information as to when the artillery
men viii arrive, but as soon as the
Notifications are complete the men will
be on hand.
Another question arises, as to where
the men will be quartered. This will
either be near the Notifications in
special cantonment or at Waikiki. 1t
is believed, however, that a site near
the Notifications will be recommended,
so that the artillerymen will be close
to their guns. The fortifcations are
not built for permanent residence OF
troops, provision being made to quar-
ter them therein only when actively
manning the battery.
