HONORABLE ALFONSO
TURNED DOWN HARD

G. F, Alfonso failed last week to
land the job of assistant county clerk
of Hawaii, which he was eagerly seek
ing. The board of supervisors turned
down his application, holding that one
job ought to be CROUCH for him, and
that, in any case, member of the
legislature ought not to hold county
Office.
Supervisor Lyman, speaking on the
matter of the appointment, said;
"This would be a new procedure. IL
would be as it was under the monarchy,
when the legislators created offices for
themselves to fill. l don I speak against
the man who is recommended. i back
ed him for position which l thought
was temporary, but this is position
which, think, no legislator should
hold. am out open and above board
and play no politics or nothing else,
just because he is Portuguese, and
because the Portuguese are playing a
game of politics.

NEW DETECTIVE
Chief HAS VERY
STRENUOUS Day

Arthur McDufie, the new chief of
detectives, had strenuous day for his
first appearance at the police station.
He waded right into his new duties
and soon had the general routine down
to fine point. The morning was spent
principally in getting acquainted He
interviewed all his subordinates and
took reports from them as to what was
going on.
Part of the afternoon was taken up
with interviewing some youngsters who
had been making a nuisance of them
selves. McDuffie knows how to handle
IA kid as well as he does man. A
small half-Hawaiian boy was toted in
for inspection on account of having
defaced billbOards and writing obscene
letterings on those same boards.
The youngster was defiant for some
time. He had been caught in the act,
but wanted to be tough and threats OF
being sent to the reform school did not
| feaze him. Suddenly McDuffie caught
hold of his hand and asked him what
the ring he had on his finger was for
The kid said that his mother gave it
to him. "You think enough of your
mother to wear her ring but you don Z
think enough of her to keep away from
bad boys" said the new chief. This
caught the youngster between wind and
water and he broke into a-spRsm OF
weeping A good lecture and he went
home to behave himself.
The evening was a strenuous time
| for the new chief. He was away from
his Office for several hours, just where
nobody would say, except to intimate
that he was in Pakeville. ~. - -
He returned to the police station
| about half-past eleven but::wept on
again Immediately and nobody knew
again where he had gone. With hin
went Apana and one or two other de
teetives and at last accounts they wer,
still on the go.
1t is quite evident that Mr.. Nc
Duflie has taken firm hold in his de
partment and that his subordinate
respect and like him. A little quie
gossip round the detectives room wen
to show that they all think highly o
their new chief.

EIks Scholarship Plan Started.

Helena-At recent meeting of the
 local lodge, B. P. o. Elks, communi- cation was read from the Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs, re- questipg that the Elks offer a schol- arship in the State University to be known as the Elks' scholarship. The idea is that by each lodge in the state making an appropriation of about $1O the combined amount will be suffi- cient to pay for one scholarship. The suggestion was accepted by the local lodge, it's proportion of the amount was appropriated and a recommends tion embodied in a resolution to the other lodges of the state that they follow the lead of the local lodge and thus establish the Elks' scholarship.

New York.-Two hundred thousand persons, according to estimate, went down to Coney Island to watch the police put on the lid as threatened by Mayor McClellan's recent declara- tion that the Sunday closing law would be enforced. Those who ex- pected a clash between the law and the show men were disappointed, for no friction whatever occurred. All amusement resorts ran as usual and only six arrests were made during the day Two of these were peddlers and two were for violation of the eX- else laws. The general gaiety of the island was not disturbed, which leads to the belief that gambling and questionable places alone are to be molested.

WORST FLOOD IN 37 YEARS
Five Dead ard 10 Seriously Injured
 Oil Fields Suffer Heavy Loss.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 25.- Five people are dead and at least 10 seriously injured, several thousand acres of crops are inundated and ev- cry stream ill the northern and east ern part of the state raging as d re- suit of almost unprecedented rains during Monday and Tuesday ill Okla homa. A number of houses have been washed away The dead: Mrs. NJ. w. Brown and three children of Foraker; Matte Jones, negro; Mrs. Brown and children were drowned in Salt creek, while attempting to es- cape from high waters. The Jones woman dropped dead of fright when the waters of Boggy creek, near Enid, surrounded her home. Railroad tracks near Shawnee, Holdenville, Tulsa, Pawnee, Muskogee, Vinita and Okla homa City are in bad condition and sections of tracks are washed out. Bridges are unsafe along the Arkan- sas, Cimarron and Canadian rivers and traffic is generally delayed,
 The flood is the worst since 1872 and the loss to crops will reach many thousands of dollars. At Miami, the Neosho river is out of it's banks and many farms are covered with water. A cloudburst at Kremlin damaged houses and crops. A small tornado struck Morris, demolishing the Meth odist church and several residences, including that of Ernest Scott He and his wife and child were seriously injured. Black creek, in Pawnee county, is out of it's banks and nun dreds of people are moving to higher lands. At Vinita, the Grand river threatens all lowlands and the rail- roads In the oil fields, four 16,000- barrel tanks were struck by light ming and destroyed. Lightning struck the school house at Billings, injuring number attending services there.
