Strong of Saxony, is a splendid piece Of
plate. and the two silver gilt candles

its fitting companions. There are five

Loss of
SLEEP

Body and brain need sufficient
peaceful sleep each night to
repair the waste caused by the
physical and mental eXerti0ns
Of the day. Broken rest brings
on headache, dependency, ir-
ritability and nerve exhaustion.
When the nerve force is low,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-01-16

provides that: The Auditor shall is
sue warrants on the City and County
Treasurer in favor of persons enti-
tied thereto in payment of claims and
demands chargeable against the City
and County which have been legally
examined, ALLOWED AND ORDER
ED PAID by the Board of Supervi-
sors." 9w
Then the law, in other sections,
very clearly goes on to say that the
Mayor shall countersign" and the
CLERK shall attest" upon such or
ders, withount leaving the Mayor any
alternative, making his countersigna-
ture purely ministerial.
This is the positive opinion Of le-
gal minds which go further and de-
clare that, therefore, there is no is
sue which needs to be brought to the
courts for discussion or decision, but
that, on Thursday evening next when
the Supervisors override the veto OF
their resolution and the salary and
other expense demands are presented,
after having been ALLOWED AND
ORDERED PAID by the Board of SUI
pervisors, the Mayor SHALL coun-
| tersign and the Clerk SHALL attest
the warrants before presentation; and
this, whether the Mayor approves or
not; for his function in this regard is
ministerial only and his signature is
merely a certificate of the fact that
such warrants have peen ALLOWED
AND ORDERED PAID by the Board
of Supervisors
If this is realized the light between
Supervisors and Mayor will not GO
to the Courts, say the lawyers so Civ
ing their opinions, and if it is not
realized before the question comes to
the court stage, it will be merely a
case of the court making the fact
clear.

call on the mayor before the mayor

the Mayor decided not to stand on cere-
mony, nor to wade too deeply into
the swamp of etiquette, and therefore,
accompanied by the Colossus of Rhodes
as his secretary is affectionately term
ed by City and County officials, the
Mayor of Honolulu this morning call
ed at the Executive building and was
ushered into the Gubernatorial pres
ence.
Felicitous commonplaces were polite
ly exchanged. The Governor con-
graduated the Mayor on his accession
and the City and County on its acqui-
sition, while the Mayor expressed
pleasure at observing that His Excel
lency had safely returned from his
semi-official trip to the mainland, un-
scathed by the dangers of travel,

ANORADE
GOING Up

Police Magistrate Frank Andrade is
slated, by his friends, to succeed Judge
Lindsay who may retire from the Cir
cult Court Bench.
The prospect of the raising of the
salaries of the judges of the Circuit
Court may induce Lindsay to remain
wher he is, but it has been for some
time reported, not without authoriza-
ton, that Lindsay will vacate, leaving
an opening for just such an advanced
young man as Andrade who has the
experience, the recommendation, the
character and the ability.
Andrade, himself, does not deny
that the next move in his ambition
is for the higher court, though he does
rot admit it. Naturally a capable
young man with an unassailable rec
ord looks to progress in his chosen
profession and if Lindsay moves. An
drade may also move.

Some Light On
An Old Mystery
FRUITLEss ARE AT LAST
TRACING OF YOUNG ALGERNoN SHAW
THE sTRANGEsT DISAPPEAR RECORD HERE AND A
POSSIBLE SEQUEL

Traces are now reported of Alger-
non Shaw, the young artist who dis
appeared here about ten years ago, and
whose mother has kept up a constant
succession of appeals to various COVER
nors and others here, asking that they
help to find her boy. According to
reports just received from San Fran
cisco, the young man went to that city
as an employe aboard the S. S. City
of Peking, and stated his intention of
going to Tahiti.
Young Shaw's disappearance has been
most battling mystery and the new
report just received, while it appears
to trace him for a couple of years be-
yond the date of his being lost, does
not explain why he chose to drop on
of sight.
Shaw was employed here as an artist
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-01-16

A piece of yellow paper and a sec
ton of the Municipal Act have tied
ND the City and County officers to the
Mayors taste, not the Queens taste,
as the old saying has it, this time.
The piece of yellow paper is moth
ing more nor less than a CLERKS
Memoranda" or salary or expense de-
mand which, with the conversion Of
the County into the City and County,
was re-incarnated with but the sim
rle changes of placing in the words
"City" and Mayor" the latter word
being substituted for the word chair
man.
Whether or not the Auditor Bick-
nell. shall issue warrants on the Trea-
sury on order of the Supervisors, whe-
ther or not such order is countersigned
by the Mayor, ]. J. Fern, is what IS
sticking with Auditor Bicknell and he
will not say at this time whether or
not he is going to issue warrants;
and therefore, as far as the Auditor
is concerned, it is not known whether,
when the Supervisors override the
Mayors veto of their appropriation
bill, anybody is going to get any mo-
ney.
Bicknell says he does not know
vhere he stands.
The Supervisors have arranged ex-
pense appropriations for six months.
The Mayor has said he does not ap-
prove of these appropriations.
The Auditor says he does not know
what to do in the event of the Super
visors overriding the Mayors Veto
and the Clerk is non-committal as to
the procedure he will undertake in
regard to attesting demands for sal
aries.
The uncertainty or the Auditor
seems largely the result of the word
ing of the printed blank on the back
of the aforesaid yellow piece of paper
which is submitted to him in the
course of ordinary procedure and
which is known as the CLERKS Mem
oranda" or a salary or expense de-
mand.
And this for the reason that plank
is provided for the examination and
approval" of the certain committee
of the Supervisors, and another blank
below the above, is provided to show
that the claim has been "allowed by
the Board of Supervisors" whereas II
should, according to the Municipal
Act read allowed and ordered paid
by the Board of Supervisors"
Still another blank on this hypnotic
piece of yellow paper allows for the
countersignature of the Mayor and
another for the attestation of the
Clerk
Now the Auditor feels that unless
the Mayor ''countersigns" in the blank
provided, and unless the Clerk "at'
tests" in the blank provided, he may
not be able to issue warrants, for the
claims involved, on the Treasurer.
But, in this regard and evidently
without the appreciation of the Au'
.ditor, the Municipal Act specifically
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-01-16

but was here only short time. SSd-
denly he dropped completely out of
sight, nearly ten years ago. His par
ents made the most strenuous efforts
to locate him and they have never drop
ped the search. The most plausible
theory was that he had gone on the
transport Ohio, which left here for
Manila on the Gay he was last seen
here, but the records of that vessel
did not show it.
According to the report now re-
ceived young Shaw's disappearance
was intentional, though no one knows
the motive. He is quoted as saying
that he intended to go to Tahiti and
'lose himself in the mountains
This much is aa result of investiga-
tions made from San Francisco. Whe-
ther the young man will eventually be
found in Tahiti is an open question.
