BY formal vote on the part of the
Board of Supervisors that body yester.
day afternoon declared the right of the
Mayor to appoint heads of departments
of the city and county service includ.
ing road supervisors, and by the same
act nullifed all their own actions since
January in making such appoint.
ments. The deadlock between the
Mayor and the board has not been
broken, however, for the Mayors list
of appointees, presented by him at
noon on January 4, was raised from
the table yesterday, and, while some
compromise appointees over whom there
has been no contest, were confirmed,
others, including John Wilson, Demo-
cratic road supervisor, were not con-
frmed.
Coneretely, T. P. Cummins the Re-
publican board road supervisor appoin-
tee, has never had any official right to
act as such officer since the present city
administration went into Office, because
the present Republican majority of the
Board of Supervisors abolished all Of
fees of the former board, and they can.
not now claim that Cummins is en-.
titled to be de facto head of the road
department. That is, under the rules,
appointees are considered to hold Office
until their successors are duly qualified,
but it does not hold good with Cum.
Minis, because the office of road super
visor was abolished by the Logan ma
jority shortly after January 4, thereby
multiplying the rule of continuing hold
over officers.
From the Democratic standpoint,
John Wilson, the Mayor appointee Of
January 4, has actually been road SUI
pervisor from that date, and although
not confirmed by the board yesterday,
it is understood the Mayors faction
regards him as the real road supervisor
and entitled to the control of the road
department IS property. Whether the
Mayor will continue, see-saw fashion,
to appoint and the board refuse to con-
firm Wilson, at and after each board
meeting, remains to be seen, but this is
where the deadlock comes in.

PRESENT BILL
MAY De D. k.
Some Retail Saloon Men Be-
Iieve Present Law
Is Best.

The retail saloon men are not all
of mind with the wholesalers in refer
ence to the proposed liquor law and
there may be a meeting of the proprie-
tors of the retail saloons to arrive at
some conclusion as to just what they
themselves want.
Some of them are said to favor the
retention of the present liquor law
without any changes, believing that it
affords them better protection than If
the bars were let down and the way
opened again to every Tom. Dick and
Harry, and All Sing and Sakesaki to
open up bar or blind pig. Others
are said to favor modification of the
Sunday cafe feature of the present act,
and are inclined to ask that the act
be amended so that this feature. as
far as the central part of town is con-
eerned, be shut out of this business,
leaving it to the beach hotels, etc.

WHISKY CABAL
WORKING SENATE
Trying to Swing Quinn and
ChilIingworth Into
Line.

The men who are behind the organ.
Ized effort to change the existing liquor
law so that it would be the worst, in
stead of the best, measure that the
Territory has ever had, are counting
on enough votes in the Senate to carry
1t over the veto of the Governor. The
Vaccinations of the whisky cabal are
numerous and nothing is being left I'm.
done that will aid in rushing the meas.
ure through the upper house.
The liquor men have been burning
the midnight oil in fixing up everything
to their satisfaction but there are one
or two matters in which someone, other
than the members of the whisky ring,
will have something to say.
The liquor men are counting on the
votes of Senators Chillingworth and
Quinn in the passage of the Moore
amendment bill These two members
of the upper house are pledged as Re-
pnblicans not to tamper with the exist
ing law. Are they going to deliberate
ly violate that pledge for the benefit
sof the liquor interests and if so why?
Senator Quinn denies that he is to be
included in the whisky ring. Whether
he will deliberately violate his pledge
taken through his nomination on the
Republican platform remains to be
seen.
Senator Chillingworth will also have
to go back on his pledge not to eoun-
!; tenance any change in the liquor law
Z if he goes over to the ranks of the
whisky eabal. It is well known that
! the liquor interests are doing their best
in an effort to swing the two Senators
into line. Whether the influence win
! be strong enough TO make them go back
xor their promise as Republican repre-
sentatiyes remains TO be seen.
There is another and important ques-
ton in connection with the Senate vote
/, on Moore s BILL The rules of the Sem
ate expressly provide that no Senator
i who has pecuniary interest involved
in a measure can vote thereon. Sen.
ator Mccarthy and Harvey are being
depended on to support the amendment.
! Under a strict Interpretation of the
senatorial rules can they vote upon
the measured Both are interested in
saloons and the bill has direct bear
ing upon their business.

and placed on the special order of the
day for today for third and final read

measure is to go through without dis
pute, although the Democratic members
yesterday showed signs of impatienee
and may possibly have something to
say today. There ought at least be
some explanation of the reason why the
bill is to provide for payment of the
road workers without legal status fol

NEWELL HELPING THE
CAUSE Of HAWAII

F. H. Newell is doing his part in
the work of spreading enlightenment
on conditions in the Territory of Ha-

Talks About Hawaii The Washington
Star says:
F. H. Newell, director Of the reclama-
ton service, spoke last night before the
Mems Club of the Church of Epiphany
on Hawaii.
"He described the country and its
people, illustrating the principal facts
by diagrams and lantern slides. He
spoke particularly of the opportunities
for the making of homes by Americans
and described the rapid decline in pop
ulation of the natives and increase in
Orientals.'
This is the sort of work that counts.
Let the Promotion Committee show
its appreciation for this assistance from
a man whose word carries great weight.

the Distinguishing features of the DELHI

Senator Chillingworth was the intro

though it appears on the record as be-

Democrats of the upper house, who are
loyal to the shades of William Jen-

for or against the resolution.
Senator Mccarthy was the spokesman
of the dissenters s'Here we are call
ed on to congratulate the man who de-
feated our candidate and I do not see
how we can do it, he said. Mccarthy
laughed and the Senate laughed with
him but the Democrats were motionless
when the matter of voting on the reso-
luton was taken up.
The opponents of the existing liquor
law are not content with the introduce
ton of the measure introduced by SEN
atore Moore that would make the Ter
ritory stand and deliver to the liquor
interests. Senator Mccarthy introduce
ed a bill yesterday that is designed to
smooth the way for the holder of liquor

"Any man with an organizing mind

one of the statements made by the Hon.
Milton K. Reed in very witty speech
before the members of the Commercial
Club at luncheon yesterday. Mr.. Reed
took for his topic "Honolulu and Com
mercialism,'' and in the course of his
interesting address, took occasion to
not only condemn the system of govern
ment in this city, but also all over the
United States, saying that municipal
government in the cities of the United
States is, with the possible exception
of Turkey, the rottenest in the world.
Mr.. Reed began his talk by speaking
of city life from a commercial stand
point.

without doubt the most successful man

Nineteen Spaniards who were

a year ago came to town from Eva

going to the Coast on the Alameda.
They were dissuaded from this purpose
by F. Dutra, who drew a picture of

"They have saved money" said Mr..

determines them to save up and go to
