JAIL GUARD gets
COUNTY CONTRACT
Maui Builders Are Much
Stirred Up Over
Affair

Wailuku is much stirred M over the
granting Of a contract for public con.
struction work to man who already
draws down salary as public en-.
ployc. Iquwa Kallknun. guard at the
Maui County Jail, Us The man in qucs.
ton, and the construction of q stable
for the county Is the job that Is caus.
ing the racket.
The protest Of the Wuimku folk is
against the Maui Board of Supervisors.
which allowed Kalakaua to bid on the
job, and then awarded him the con.
tract. This In spite Of the fact that
the man draws down 500 month as
jail guard and receives his board gratis
from the county.
The contract price fdr the stable In
question was about $500. As Kala.
kaua is already receiving a good month.
~ stipend he Ia charged with having
put in a bid at figure which would
not have given living wages to a con.
tractor depending entirely upon his
business for his support.
II Is further alleged that the iail
authorities have transferred Kalakaua
from the day to the night watch that
he may have the time to work on his
CO ract Job, and that the man is he.
In allowed TO take sleeping time out
Of the hours when he is supposedly
on duty
II Is charged that this Is not the first
time that desirable contracts have
been awarded to persons in the en-.
ploy Of the county or Territory. and
there Is a general demand for some
legislation which will put Il stop to the
practice.

RALLY IN STOCKS
Copper Stocks Furnished Speculative
Diversion From General Dull
ness in Yesterdays Maket.

New York, Nov. 13.-The copper
stocks furnished speculative diver
sion today from the general duliness.
The cause was the return from
abroad of a number of capitalists
who are credited with having de-
cided voice in the reported negotia-
tions for the consolidation of the cop
per interests. Their guarded admis-
sions were interpreted as confirmd-
ton of these reports. but no authorl-
tatiev announcements we.e made.
This movement acted as tonic to
the stock market which was disposed
to wait and see the complexion OF
the bank statement. Confidence IS
maintained by the assertions that the
supplies of credits sufficient to guard
the stock market values will be forth
coming from other sources than the
clearing house banks. 1t was stated
that foreign leaders are offering
funds to New York and that great
private bankers were applying theil
resources to the protection of the cal
money market There was a large
i flow of gold into the Bank of Eng
land, largely from the Bank OF
France.
New York expects to send more
| gold from South America and demand
| for cash from the interior also ap
pears exhausted. Trade reports arc
encouraging and October eatnings o.
railroads indicate the high wate>
mark. The appearance of the banl
! statement confirmed the confidenc,
of. those who expected. that the sur
plus would be conserved, the enor
| nous loan contraction adding sub
statially tothe surplus.
