PROBABLY NO
CONTEST ON
SUPERVISORS

Rumors were abroad this morning
that the Democratic Central Committee
was prepared to contest the election
of City and County Supervisors.
Wade Warren Thayer, one of the
legal lights of the Democracy, being
seen gave little support to the prob
ability of any such contest.
Il will say" Mr. Thayer remarked
that the matter has been discussed
No, l cannot state the grounds con-
sidered.
But l do not think a contest will
be entered. This is the last day and
am pretty sure nothing has been
done.
Certainly it would not be started as
a counter movement to the Republican
contest of the mayoralty election. We
are not much troubled about that ac-
ton. 1t will probably result in giving
Fern more votes than the returns have
credited him with"

HILO, November 27.-The new Mas
onic building in Hilo is being practi-
cally reconstructed. A short time ago,
Mr.. C. A. Weaver, who came here from
the Coast to superintend the erection
of the building, returned on the S. S.
Enterprise Many reasons were as
signed for this sudden change of plans.
AS Mr.. Weaver brought his family
with him, rented a house in Puueo,
and gave every indication of expect
ing to stay at least till the completion
of the structure, people were some
what surprised when they read an an
nouncement in the Herald to the eff
feet that the furniture belonging to
the gentleman would be sold by auc-
ton, on account of his imn4edlate re-
turn to California. The reason for

STOLE HIS
OWN EFFECTS

A story is going the rounds to the
effect that a certain professional man
burglarized the Hawaiian hotel of his
own goods and chattels the other even
ing.
1t appears that the gentleman was
about $50 behind in his room rent and
showed no signs of cashing in. He
was asked to remove himself and his
room was locked by the management,
his effects remaining within the room
The gentleman awaited an oppor-
tunity and got into the room through
window and removed his effects un-
der cover of darkness. He is now
looking for a small cottage.

Whether it is to be a new steam
ship company, or whether the Oceanic
Steamship Company is concerned, is
not known by the agents of the latter
company here, but it is a fact that
steamship connections between San
Francisco and Australia, via Honolulu,
are to be- re-established.
Captain Won Oterendorp, formerly of
the Oceanic Steamship Company, and
well known here, within the last few
weeks met at the Hotel st. Francis,
in San Francisco, Commissioner Burns,
representing the Australian govern
ment, and captain Won Oterendorp was
informed by Burns of the fact that
satisfactory financial arrangements had
been made for the establishment, soon,
of line of steamships between San
Francisco and Australia and New Zea-
land, by way of Hololulu.
Burns was some time ago commits
stoned by the government of Australia
to go to London, New York, San Fran
cisco and Seattle and arrange certain
matters with view to the opening of a
system of steamship communication
between the Colonies and the United
States.

election of Fern as the first mayor Of
the city and county of Honolulu will
be filed this afternoon. They have
been prepared and this noon were be-
ing taken around for the signatures of
thirty-fve voters, which were easy to
obtain. A. l.. G. Atkinson, the chair
man of the Republican Territorial Cen
tral Committee, stated that he had no
copy of the papers and could only give
out a summary of what the charges
consisted of.
The charges which are six in num-

1. That in the Third precinct of the

that return is now painfully manifest.
The work performed on the building
is demonstrated to be of the poorest
quality. The cement pillars on which
the structural steel columns rest, are
falling away like mud piles in a rain
storm, and the whole building would
undoubtedly have collapsed soon after
completion if not before.
Thanks to the vigilance of some resi-
dents, a tragedy has probably been
averted. The structure is to be the
finest in Hilo, and the weight impos-
ed on the cement pillars when the
building is completed will be some
thing far beyond the supporting capa-
city of Weaver's mud piles.

for which he was commissioned. He
has been to London and there secured
assurances of financial backing and in
San Francisco, and elsewhere in the
United States he has been arranging
matters relative to steamships.
1t may be that the steamships Sono-
ma, Sierra and Ventura, the three sis
ter ships of the Oceanic Steamship Co.
which have so long been laid up, will
be utilized at the start of the new
transportation scheme, although they
are likely to be replaced by new and
better boats.
When Oterendorp saw Burns the
latter was about to go to Seattle and
Canadian cities with view to COM
pleting certain deals in regard to busi-
ness for the new line and was then to
go to England to consummate the deal.
Burns is an Australian capitalist
promoter and mine owner and deeply
interested in trans-Pacific transporta-
tion matters.
While details of the new scheme are
lacking it is assured that the business
will go through.

bring advices throwing further light
on the proposition.

Selected Paragraphs.

One-fifth of the money of the
entire world belongs to the United
States. This is even better than
to own the biggest navy.
An emergency currency taxed
at 6 per cent has a string to it
that will make the wants of
trade modest in estimating their
own size and urgency.
The cost of transferring the
battle ship fleet to the Pacific
will be considerable, but it will
be good training for the officers
and men, not to speak of its
value as an objec t lesson to other
lands than ours.
Former Governor Orman, with
his railroad contracting firm, has
gone into bankruptcy.
The Delta independent., 1908-01-24

One of the things which has
proven a success in all the states
where enacted. is uniform sys-
tenn of public accounts and a
public examiner law. Such a law
was advocated in Colorado few
years ago, and was promised en-
actment, but our Colorado legis-
lature, as usual, got too busy
with freak measures and broke
the proposition off at a bank ex-
aminer law. That a state exam
iner to audit all public accounts,
state, county and municipal, as
we'll as those of banks, would be
good thing and would save
many errors and losses, there is
no question OF doubt. A uniform
system OF book keeping is OF
equal Importance. Because a
public office should be checked
up periodically is no imputation
against the honesty or integrity
of it's holder. 1t is matter in
his interest as much as it is to
the interest of the public, and
when it is done periodically it
helps to prevent errors which
may occur with anyone, and it
encourages confidence with the
public and carefulness with the
accountant.
