INv|OIOUs DISTINCTION
BETWEEN DOC and DOC

Mrs. Kaikaula Iaukea, of Kewalo, has
a desire TO learn why an invidious dis
tinction should be drawn between dog
that bit her leg on Monday of last week
and the one that showed a fondness for
the calf of d. p r. Isenberg, on
Wednesday. That a decided preference
has been shown for the dog that bit
Isenberg she AYERS. The dog that bit
her got frost beside the crowd that
paid their respects to the Punahou pet
which unceremoniously introduced her
self to the baseball magnate.
AS stated, Mrs. Iaukea had her feel
ings hurt and her leg bitten on Monday,
a neighbor S faithful friend being the
aggressor. Not desiring to make pilikia,
she suggested that payment to cover the
expense of medicine would be an added
balm to the wound and pave the way
to an amicable settlement. The neigh
Dor who owned the dog declined to enter
into negotiations and the assistance of
the police was sought. Sheriff Jarrett
listened to the tale of the biting with
happy smile and shrugged his Shout
ders He did nothing, but a clerk told
the lady that she should not have en-
couraged the dog to such familiaritles.
Then she visited the United States
Marshal, the Attorney General and final
~ brought up in the Office of the City
Attorney. Here the members of the
office force killed some time by taking
down her statement. Detective Lake
thought he had a clew. Since, nothing
has been done and the doglet is wait
ing for chance at her other leg.
When Mr. Isenberg's leg was mistak-
en- for dog meat, full posse of police,
representing all the departments, went
on the trail of the animal, and, failing
to land her. arrested the owner. That
dog will bite no more, having passed to
the place where there are always cats
to chase and legs to bite ad lib.
Mrs. Iaukea has asked the Advertiser
to inquire why life and limb, especially
the latter, are not as sacred from raw
enous pups in Kewalo as they are at
Makiki.

In conformity with Governor Frear s
plans for assuring an era of economy
and retrenchment in the Government
departments, there has been a reduction
in the staff of the Governor S Office and
also in the Archives department. Miss
Girvin, formerly a stenographer, has
accepted another position and the ser
vices of the stenographer and copyist
in the Archives department, Stephen
Melelulu, have been dispensed with.
All of the Government offices viii be
closely inspected to see if they cannot
be conducted on a more economical
basis and there is every indication that
the work win be carried out systemati-
cally and that all the departments will

EYES AND EARS
Of Government
Secret Service, Public Service
and inspection Will Be
investigated.
By Ernest G.. Walker.

Especial Cable to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, January 15.-The
foundations have been laid for begin
ming very thorough inquiry this
week about ''the eyes and ears" of
the Federal government That, in
broad sense, is the task put before the
House special investigating commit
tee, appointed soon after the House
voted its rebuke to the President. Few
people are aware that thousands of
government men, in one capacity
or another, as inspectors or detectives
or attorneys or searchers after evil
ldence, are daily going up and down the
States of the Union. It is no exagger-
alton that in each of the larger and
mere populous States. this force of en-
ployes, looking and listening to pre-
vent violations of the law and for the
purpose of Furnishing offenders, num-
bers hundreds, who have permanent
residence and are employed 800, of not
365, days of every year.
The public is somewhat familiar with
the little army of customs inspectors
who guard every thoroughfare of com
merce across land borders and into the
ports of commerce that border upon
the seas. That service is as old as the
republic, as are the internal revenue
inspectors. who have wide range of
duties, from seeing that a government
license is posted in every saloon in the
Unified States to ferreting out illicit
stills and guarding against frauds in
tobacco factories But there is an in
spectors force, quite as large as either
of these, which was unknown till a
fee years ago, when Congress enacted
t ilfs pure food and the meat inspection
statutes.
The per diems and travelling ex-
penses of those who inspect cattle,
sheep, swine and goats and the meat
and meat-food products thereof, trans
ported from State to State during a
twe1vemonth. cost the Federal govern
ment about $3,000,000. 1t is now one

WILL GET MORE
PORTO RICANS
Planters May Secure Laborers
From Same Source as
Formerly.

Systematic plans are now being
to assure a continuation of the prevail
ing satisfactory conditions of plantation
labor. From the reports that have been
received from the plantations that have
had experience with Porto Rican labor
the majority of these islanders have
proved to be efficient field hands. AS a
result it is the intention of the Asso-
citation to bring more of them in and it
is probable that several Porto Ricans
who have achieved something of a sue
cess and have more than ordinary intel
ligence viii be sent to Porto Rico to
assist in the work of immigration.
A plan has been adopted whereby the
Porto Ricans now in the islands have
submitted the names of their friends
and relatives in Porto Rico whom they
believe would like to emigrate to Ha-
waii and these people will be given an
opportunity.
There are comparatively few Filipinos
now at work on the plantations but
those who have been tried out have
shown themselves to be Industrious and
fairly efficient. AS a consequence more
of Uncle Sam s wards will leave their
homes for the Paradise The Porto
Ricans have turned out better than was
first expected. Although there Is a
considerable percentage of them who
are apt to prove undesirable it has been
shown conclusively that as far as labor
in the fields is concerned they are more
than ordinarily competent and rapidly
increase in effectiveness.

TAG DAY WILL BE

The Tag Day campaign receives
some new impetus or some new en-
enlargement every day. Recruits for
the work are being enlisted constantly
aud group meetings of the canvassers
are Of almost hourly occurrence. Pre-
liminary surveys are being made Of
districts to be covered by workers, and
all sorts of plans are being made to

opportunity to accept tag and make

sEUATOR-ELECT BOASTS
CITY ROAD POLICY

elf the people of Honolulu want to
have lesson in the wastefulness of a
political road department, let them go
down on King street, below Nuuanu,
and they will have it, said Senator
H. T. Moore yesterday. "Just to look
at that job ought to disgust anyone
who knows anything about roadmaking
and the proper expenditure of money
on road work. All morning that half
finished road has not had a man on 1t.
1t is left in such shape that the traffic
in six hours has done more damage than
a full force can repair in a day That S
the way the money of the public is
wasted
"That section of road-and this is
only sample of what is being done
is only SKINNED over, at any rate,
and then left without being properly
or sufficiently rolled, while the men
have been taken off and put to work
on Nuuanu avenue. The whole system
is rotten.
''The streets of this city are paved
with gold. Just think of it! One
hundred thousand dollars year on
these roads and the most Of it going
for salaries and upkeep of equipment.
What [ want to see and what / am
going to work for is to have this road
work done by contract Our citizen
laborers could be protected, the public
interests could be protected, we would
get more roads and we would gel
proper roads. -

CUTTING EXPENSES IN THE
TERRITORIAL DEPARTMENTS

Government will be called into consul
tation with the Governor with this OBJ
iect in view and wherever it is found
possible to scale down expenses the
policy of economy that has already been
inaugurated viii be vigorously adhered
to.
AS Governor Frear stated yesterday,
it is simply a question of making both
ends meet - for the Territory finds itself
where it is confronted with the ques-
ton of forcing the expenditures to equal
the revenues.
It is not believed that any particular
department will be singled out in this
connection but that all will receive the
careful attention of the head OF the
Territorial Government. 1t IS pointed
out that the chief executive has been
consistent in this respect and that there
is no reason to doubt that the work of
retrenchment will be thorough and ex-
tend to all governmental departments
with due consideration to the necessity
of efficient work.

The Merchants Association IS to
make another move to get on the right
side of the Coastwise Laws suspension
question. It is pretty generally under
stood that the members, if given a
chance to register another vote on the
matter. would be three to one in favor
of throwing off the restrictions on four
list traffic until such time as American
steamships are provided to accommodate
it. Acting on this understanding, some
of the members are asking that special
meeting be called for the purpose Of

ON COASTWISE SUSPENSION

This meeting will be called this week
and the vote taken in time to cable the
Delegate the result.
Heretofore the association has been
chary OF touching this question, desiring
to let themselves and others forget that
thew ever voted to withdraw support
from the bill now in Congress. The
matter has reached a phase now, how
ever. when the Delegate requires an
emphatic notification that the commu-

as it ever was and that the sentiment

is overwhelmingly in favor of the sus-

Booth is widely known as land
owner and politician, and the charge
that has been made against him comes
as distinct surprise. The home
which Booth is charged with having
conspired to destroy, for the purpose
of securing the insurance of approx
mately $4,000, was located on Pacific
night in June, 1903.
Fire Was Investigated.
1t is understood that the cause of
the fire was investigated at the time,
with considerable thoroughness, by the
Insurance agents. The full amount
called for by the policies was not paid,
a compromise being reached which was
apparently satisfactory to both Booth
and local agents of the companies in
volved.
Now, after the lapse of six years,
comes the accusation which resulted in
the formal indictment of Joseph XII
lumano and Mr.. Booth by the grand
jury yesterday.
With NJ. j. Bissell as foreman, the
Territorial grand jury has investigated
the case at length, and the joint in
dictment returned yesterday is the re

Theories Were Many.

It is now declared that the insur.
ance agents at the time of the destrue.
ton of Booth S home were of the
opinion that the blaze was of incen-
diary origin. Various theories were
advanced then and they varied from
spontaneous combustion to sparks from
a nearby grass fire. According to the
evidence that will be used by the
prosecution, Booth secured the ser
vices of Kulumano to fire the house,
and that several cans of kerosene were
used to assure a destructive blaze.
Friends of Mr.. Booth say the case
was got up by one David Manuel, a
part native and part black Portuguese
of Pauoa, who, besides being a loafer
and having a bad criminal record, is
known as rattlebrain with no repu-
tation for truthfulness. He is an ar
