The Legislature Will Be Asked
For an Automobile
Ambulance.

Oh, [ am just sick for an automo-
bile ride, exelaims the lady whose
hubby can not afford a buzz-wagon.
If the Legislature is kind when it
goes into session, and gives everything
asked by the Board of Health, in the
way of improvements, all the dissatis-
fed lady will have to do to get a ride
in gasoline buggy will be to fall
sick and give the emergency call at
the Board of Health. Included in the
list of estimates for appropriations
which has been prepared for submis-
sion to Governor Frear is named an
automobile ambulance, to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000
The day of that noble animal. the
horse. is fast waning, for in the sub.
note to the estimate it is stated that
9 horses are in the long run expen-
sive and unreliable. - Two valuable
animals used in the ambulance service
OF the Board of Health died suddenly
during the past year. Three relays of
horses are required to keep up the
proper service, while it is asserted that
an automobile ambulance would do
away with all this bother and extra
expense, besides being a great deal
more valuable on account of the faster
speed.
Two chauffeurs will be employed. If
the Legislature approves of the plan,
one for day and one for night duty.
Each will be paid salary of $50 per
month. In addition to the sum of So
900 with which the automobile ambu-
lance will be purchased, it is estimated
that the sum of $3.50 for extra tires
will have to be expended. Running
expen.es of the machine, salaries, etc,
are l@sanated at 1890 for tire period.
No More Aid from Shippers.
After February IS, the Honolulu
Shippers Wharf Committee will dis
continue all financial assistance to the
Board of Health. At present the ship
pers are giving $475 per month to-
wards the rat campaign and 1925
monthly towards the battle against
mosquitoes. In view of the above &C.
ton the Board of Health has decided
to ask for an appropriation Of $4,000
to wage war on rats during the coming
period, and the sum of $4,000 to fight
the pesky mosquitoes.
Morgue at Hilo.
The Board of Health has in contem-
plation the construction of building
to be used as a morgue at Hilo. For
this building and for the equipment
thereof, the Legislature will be asked
to come through with the modest sum
of $500.

TO
AUTO ORDINANCE

Some Of the leading members of the
local automobile club have requested
Supervisor Quinn to introduce an
amendment to the present ordinance
regarding the driving of automobiles
through the streets, the suggestion be-
ing to do away with the sharp cutting
of corners. The suggestion is to com
pei all machines to be driven around
an imaginary point in the center of
the street turned into. This will give
those coming down such streets, wheth-
er afoot or in vehicles, a chance to
see the machine before it is turned and
coming their way.

Statement by Mayor Fern.

"There have been several suggestions
made to me, in the press mostly, but
on several occasions by private individ-
uals, that the differences be compromis-
ed. The only suggestion that L have
received pointing out the kind of com
promise or what it should be came from
a member of the Board of Supervisors,
suggesting that Mr.. Mcclellan be given
craftsmanship in the Board of Super
visors and that both Wilson and Cum
minis be retired and dark horse ap-
pointed to take the place of the Road
Supervisor. This compromise, took it,
meant simply an agreement as to divi-
sion of spoils, and l dismissed the offer
without even formal answer If the
press means some compromise on other
lines / should like very much to have
it made clearer what is meant. When
compromise is talked of in general terms
| do not know what is meant, unless
it is suggestion to divide up by mutual
agreement the powers of the City and
County officials between the Mayor and
the Board of Supervisors, as also the
offices, and [ can see for myself, without
/, the suggestion of the lawyers, that such
a compromise would settle little or no.
thing of the real issue. In short, I do
not see how matters can be settled with
out ruling of the court as to what my
rights and powers are as also the rights
and powers of the Board of Supervisors.
"For example, the Board of Supervi-
sors, under the claim that they have
the right to make rules for their pro.
ceedings created certain committees by
those rules and authorized those COM
mittees to engage employees. Take,
for instance, the rule creating the COM
mittee on road and bridges, ETC., that
committee is empowered to engage en-
ployes. After adopting these rules
without submitting them to me for my
approval or veto, they proceeded in the
same way, by motion, to appoint Mr.
Quinn, Mr.. Aylett and Mr.. AHA the
committee on roads and bridges, ETC.,
which motion was also not submitted to
me for approval or veto. Then this
committee goes out and engages large
number of employees to work under
them, upon such salaries and others
terms as they saw fit. The action of
that committee was reported back to
the Board of Supervisors, which report
was adopted by the Board of Super
visors, but the same was not submit
ted to me for approval or veto, and

Yesterdays Session Without Incidents
tiser Blamed for TroubIe---Chance
for Agreement

There was a session of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday, a short and
amicable session because nothing was
done beyond meeting and adjourning,
the one item of business sandwiched
between the opening and closing exer-
cises being a request from the solitary
committee recognized by all sides for
more time to report on their lease dis
cussion of public building.
Supervisor Quinn, after the meeting,
announced that he intended to intro
duce an ordinance changing the num-
Der on the door of the board assembly
room. This room is number thirteen at
present and to this fact is aseribed
the present pilikia.
Agreement May be Reached.
There were number of consulta-
lions yesterday afternoon between va
rious members of the Board of Super
visors ana those Interested in seeking
a short cut out of the present difficult
ties of the Mayor and board, and also
a consultation with the Mayor. The
result of these consultations may be
that within a very short time the jang-
ling may be eliminated and the bust
ness of the city government proceed
in manner satisfactory to all con-

Advertiser Being Blamed.
There was report in circulation
last night that the present trouble in
the city affairs was a result of deep
laid plot on the part of the Advertiser.
The report goes among the Hawaiians
and it was stated with a show of au-
thority last night that there would be
a mass meeting of natives called to pro-
test against this paper and its wicked
minions.
The story is to the effect that the
Advertiser is an advocate of govern
ment by commissions; that in it's ad-
voeacy its prime idea is to discredit
any local administration, especially one
in which Hawaiian members have a
majority. With that idea inspiring it,
the scheming sheet deliberately foisted
Charles L. Rhodes upon the Mayor
with the sole purpose of giving him
wrong steers and thus discrediting the
administration and disparaging the
ability of the Hawaiian to govern him
self.

VOTE ON NEGRO TROOPS.
Senate Will Decide Whether to APP
point Court of Inquiry.

Washington-Feb 20 was agreed up
on by the Senate as the time for a vote
on the Aldrieh substitute bill for the
appointment Of a court of inquiry 10 in
luire into the qualifications OF the dis
charged soldiers OF the Twenty-ffth Reg
iment, charged with having shot up
Brownsville, Tex.
This statement was preceded by an
extended discussion, during which Sena-
tor Taliaferro, of Florida, suggested that
he had heard that the War Department
had gathered additional testimony bear
ing upon the guilt of negro soldiers, and
he thought, in view Of this report, the
agreement ON time to vote should be
postponed.
Senator Foraker declared that if such
information existed it was only an addi-
tional reason for the creation of a court
of inquiry to hear ii.

THERE ARE NO NEGRO ELKS
Unique Case on Trial at Hot Springs,
Arkansas.

Hot Springs, Ark.-That a negro's face
is prima facie evidence to the effect that
the Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks of America cannot be imposed on or
their rights infringed through negro
lodges wearing similar emblems, and
having a similar ritual and roster of Of
fcers, was developed in the trial here Of
w. s. Gardner and Charles +. Hodge,
blacks, under arrest for violating the
State law prohibiting any person from
wearing the emblem or insignia Of a
lodge of which he is not a member.
Charles II. Weaver, a member of the
grand lodge, described the constitution of
the b. p. o. T., declaring that it was an
American lodge, exclusively for member
ship of white male citizens, and that
any other person representing himself as
member of the Elks was of neces-
sity disappearing fact. The cross-ex-
amintion developed the statement from
the witness that a negro wearing an Elk
pin, representing himself as an Elk, could
not deceive white Elks, because they
could not be members of the same order.
