NORMAL SCHOOL
MATTER DELAYED.

The gentlemen who went from here
to Nashville last week to show John
son City's interest in the location of
the East Tennessee branch found very
satisfactory conditions and are pleased
with the outlook. The schools will
not be located for two or three weeks
and after all offers are carefully con-
sidered. All will be located at once,
in all probability, and it is the opinion
of the delegation to Nashville that
Johnson City has nothing to lose by
investigation.

ladies who will be active workers in
the campaign was held at the home of
Mrs. I. J. Lowrey yesterday morning,
and various committees were appoint
ed. The city was distrieted very care

HAWAII HAD A
LEADING
PLACE
Mrs. A. F. Knudsen's
Part in Great
Congress.

Hawaii and Hawaii s interest in the
nationwide question of the conserva-
ton of natural national assets were
prominent at the meeting of the
Woman IS National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, which convened in December
at Washington at the same time as the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
of men. Representing Hawaii at the
congress was Mrs A. +. Knudsen of
Kauai, who was appointed one of the
vice presidents of the association and
who was described by various speakers
and others at Washington as one of the
most influential members of the Con-
gress
This National Congress of Women,
acting concurrently and along the lines
of the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, form an important part of
what is probably the most influential
body in the United States next to Con
gress itself The women's coordina e
branch has membership now of ff-
teen hundred, representing every part
of the Union, and all working along
definite national lines of improvements

servatlon of the forests Theirs Is a
policy, not project, - and in the

The talk on "Personal RecolIec-
TONS which Captain C. P. Rees, Z. s.
N, gave at the chowder and general
meeting of the Mems League of the
Central Union church last night, de-
veloped into very graphic and inter
esting account of the battle of Manila
bay as seen by the speaker who was
then acting as executive officer of
Dewey's flagship, the Olympia.
AS an introduction the captain spoke
of his first visit to the Hawaiian
Islands in 1873 on the Portsmouth, of
later visits here, of the close feeling of
friendship which he has for the people
of the islands and the pleasure it has
been to him to live in Honolulu. He
made reference, as he did later in his
speech, to the admiration he has always
had for the British navy and its off
GERS and laid particular stress on this
point when he spoke of the farewell
given to Dewey's feet by the British
squadron when the former was leaving
Hongkohg for Manila.
From the time when he was in
Shanghai and received orders to go at
once to Hongkong and join the Olym-
pia, Captain Rees described the voy age
to Manila, the entering of the harbor
during the night and the battle that
started at daylight, ending in trium-
plant and seatheless victory for the
American fleet, so clearly that his
audience was held tense with interest
until the fitting finale when the speak,
er described the victory in verses writ
ten by himself on the day of the battle
Captain Rees had already served as
executive officer on the Olympia owing
to temporary vacancy, some months
previous to his call TO Hongkong When
he went aboard 70 repe~t Commodore
Dewey told him that he had selected
him to act as executive officer, in spite

MAYOR SIGNS
THE PAY
ROLL
All Up to Auditor Now
The Board Tries
New Move.

The Republican majority in the
Board of Supervisors last night took
another step in their plan and effort
10 deprive the Mayor of all check on
expenditures. Supervisor Kane intro
duced an ordinance by which the
Mayor check on the employment OF
subordinates in the City and County
Clerk S Office, is to- be got around by
the process of giving him all the sub
ordinates ne wants, not as City Clerk,
but as ex-offcio Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors.
Under the Municipal Act the City
Clerk when he wants help additional
to the deputy the law allows him, must
apply to the Mayor for it, who, if he
finds that it is needed, may recommend
that it be granted The law also pro-
vides that the Board of Supervisors,
when authorized to do SO by ordinance,
may appoint such clerks and other as.
sistants for its own body as it deems
necessary; and the City and County
Clerk is made, ex-otfleIo Clerk or the
Board of Supervisors. The plan initla.
ted last night is to authorize the City
and County Clerk to appoint the sub
ordinates he wants, Efto assist him as
a. -c.fsclo Clerk OF the Board the or.
dinanee fixing their salaries. As the
Board has already passed an ordinance
giving salaries to the subordinates OF
the Clerk as City and County Clerk, II
looks as though there might be a
chance either for one set of subordi-
mates to get two salaries, or for the
appointment of two sets of subordi-
mates.
The ordinance was passed and order
ed published.
Payrolls Countersigned.

Between 10 and 1920 clock last
night japanese was held up on Ku-
kui street, near the river, by two men,
who foreibly took possession of a
bundle of clothing he had and escaped
in the darkness. The japanese at once
reported to the police station and told
his story.
Half an hour later haekman called
at the station and left a bundle of
clothes and a dark cap, saying he had
picked them up on Kukui street and
thought they had fallen from hack.
The clothing and cap were dumped
into corner of the receiving station.
Later on it was suggested to the officer
on duty that the clothing and the re-
ported holdup had a direct connec-
ton. Examination Of the inside of the
cap, which was made of dark cloth, re-
veaied two short hairs. reddish in
color, suggesting that the wearer was
of a nationality neither Asiatic nor
Hawaiian.
The japanese was unable to give a
good description of his assailants, but
the cap apparently belonged to one of
the men who took away the clothing
bundle, as the japanese wore his own
when he reported at the station.
