NO PLACE
FOR GIRL
DEMOCRATIC ASPIRANT WILSON
WOULD TAKE JOB AWAY FROM
SELF-SUPPORTING INCUMBENT.

In regard to the fight for jobs in the
Road Department the question has
been asked several times as to who is
responsible for the selections of the
Democratic candidates for office Fern,
of course took the general responsible
ity of this upon himself by making the
appointments in his own name. Johnny
Wilson, however, who is outside the
door of the Road Department office,
trying to get in and assume the reins
of power. states that he is the man
who made the selections and seems
ready to take any blame that can be
placed on the manner in which things
may turn out.
Another question has been asked in
the department, as to whether the De-
mocratic party is on the anti-suifera
gette tack. The only girl in the de-
partment. Miss Lloyd, who has held
the position of stenographer for some
years past and has given perfect salts
faction, is slated to be one of those
to be ousted, should the Fern-Wilson
program be successful. Anderson,
who was the candidate for county au-
ditor on the Democratic ticket, is slat-
ed to fill this job though he says per-
fectly frankly that he never made
any application for the position.
In regard to this matter Wilson says
that he does not think that the Road
Department, where there are many la
bOrers around, is the fit place for a
woman. When his attention was call
ed to the fact that the laborers have
never been allowed to come inside the
counter under the previous admins
tratiOns, he had nothing to say. He
would not say that he wished to de-
prive girl of the chance of earning
her own livelihood in a position which
he could not deny that she was COM
petent to fill, but simply stuck to the
one thing, that he did not think wo-
man ought to be in the position. His
chief bOokkeeper, r. w. Cathcart, stat
ed that as far as he is concerned he
has no objection whatever to seeing
Miss Lloyd remain in her present job.
He said that he believed that she was
competent and that through the old
friendship that he had held for her
father he would be glad to see her re-
main.

INTERESTING CASE
UP To DOLE

1t is expected that an extremely in
teresting admiralty decision will be
handed down by Judge Dole on next
Monday. The case mentioned is that
of the British ship Loeb Carve which
ran ashore some two years ago on Mo-
lokai. The vessel was pulled off the
beach where she was stranded by the
Intrepid and TWO Understand steam
ers and towed to this city She re-
manned in port for several months
while repairs were being made and
an inquiry was made into the cause
of the disaster by a consular court.
The Inter-Island sued for $4,000 as
salvage, while the claim Of the Fear
less was for $500.
The stranding OF the Loeb Carve
was a rather sensational affair, the
charge being made and substantiated
that at the time of her being beached
her officers and crew were under the
influence of liquor.

FIRST AID
BY AUTO

The latest proposition talked over
by the Board of Health is the estimate
submitted to Governor Frear for an
automobile ambulance to cost $4,000.
In addition to this two chauffeurs will
be needed at $50 per month and it is
estimated that $3.50 will cover the ex-
pense of extra tires for the biennial
period The total estimate for salaries
and running expenses is placed at
1890.
The Shippers Wharf committee of
this city which has been paying 5000
per month toward the mosquito and
rat campaigns in this city will cease
all contributions to the Board of
Health funds after February 2S, &C
cording to an announcement which
has been made. AS the result the
Board of Health will ask the Legisla-
ture for an appropriation of $4,000 to
fight rats and $500 to fight mosquitoes.
The Legislature will also be asked for
$500 to erect a morgue for Hilo dead.
In a report submitted to the Board
of Health yesterday Sanitary Inspec-
tor Bowman states that he found for
ty dead rats under a stable in Hilo
twenty-eight of which were killed by
bubonic plague. No cases of plague
have been discovered in Hilo of late
and the disease has evidently been
confined to the rats. Bowman states
that he is examining an average OF
sixty rats per day in Hilo at present
The new Japanese fish company
through its attorney A. L. c. Atkin-
son, has asked the Board of Health
for permission to peddle fish through
the city in carts. The opinions of the
members of the Board of Health or
the matter varied and the plan was
/ referred to the committee on rules ant
regulations. Atkinson says that hi.
concern will be very careful about sa.
nitary conditions if allowed to have
the privilege that is sought.
The Board of Health has taker
charge of the new building which has
been erected for the Kalihi Manua
Training School, as the building fol
the boys recently brought down from
Molokai is known. 1t is proposed tc
ask the Legislature for an appropria.
ton of 100000 for a suitable building
for the Kapiolani Girls Home.

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER 1.-The story opens with the
shipwreck of the steamer on which MISS
Genevieve Leslie, an American heiress,
Lord Winthrope. an Englishman, and Tom
Blake. a brusque American, were passen-
gers. The three were tossed upon an I'M
inhabited Island and were the only ones
not drowned. Blake recovered from a
drunken StuDor
CHAPTER II.-Blake, Stunned on the
boat, because of his ~roughness, became
a hero as preservers of the helpless pair.
The Englishman was suing for the hand
of Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim
back to the ship to recover what was
left.
CHAPTER III.-Blake returned safely.
WINTHROP wasted his last match on a
cigarette; for which he was scored by
Rtake. Their first meal was a dead fish.
CHAPTER tv.-The trio started a ten
mile hike for higher land. Thirst at
tackled them. Blake was compelled to
carry Miss Leslie on account of weari-
ness. He tainted WINTHROP.
CHAPTER V.-They entered the Jun
gle. That night was passed roosting high
in q tree
CHAPTER VI.-The next morning they
constructed hats to shield themselves
from the sun. They then toasted on
cocoanuts, the only procurable food. Miss
Leslie showed a liking for Blake, but de-
tested his rouehness-
CHAPTER VII.-Led by Blake they es-
tablished a home in some cliffs. Blake
found a fresh water spring.
CHAPTER NIII.-Miss Leslie faced an
unpleasant situation. They planned their
campaign.
CHAPTER IX.-Blake recovered his
surveyors magnifying glass, thus insur-
Ing fire. He started a jungle fire, killing
a large leopard and smothering several
cubs.
CHAPTER Kin the leopard's cavern
they built a small home. They gained
the cliffs by burning the bottom of a
tree until it fell against the heights.
CHAPTER XI.-The trio secured eggs
from the cliffs. Miss Leslie's white skirt
was decided upon as a signal.
XII-Miss Leslie made a
dress from the leopard skin. Blake's eff
forts to kill anteloues failed

~ q ORNING found Winthrope
LIZ "a more irritable and peevish
than ever. Though he had
not been called on watch by Blake
until long after midnight, he had soon
fallen asleep at his post and permitted
the fire to die out. Shortly before
dawn, Blake was reused by a pack of
jackals, snarling and %quarreling over
the half-dried seafowl. To charge
upon the thieves and put them to
fight with a few blows of his club
took but a moment. Yet daylight
showed more than half the drying
frames empty.
Blake was staring glumly at them,
with his broad back to W~inthrope,
when Miss Leslie appeared. The sud
den cessation of Winthrope's com,
plants brought his companion around
on the instant. The girl stood before
him, clad from neck TO foot in her
leopard-skin dress.
We'll, I'll be-dashed!" he ex-
claimed, and he stood staring at her
open-mouthed.
Il fear it will be warm. Do you
think it beeoming?' she asked, flush
ing, and turning as though to show
the fit of the costume.

you're a peach,'

IF it's put up. Seems a pity,
though, to do that, when we're getting
on so fine. What do you say to leav,
ing it down, and starting a little
colony of our own?'
Miss Leslie raised the skirt in her
outstretched hands. Behind it her
face became white as the cloth.
"Well?' demanded Blake soberly,
though his eyes we're tWtnkling.
You forget the fever" she retorted
mockingly, and Blake failed to catch
the quayer beneath the light remark.
Say, you've got me there." he ad-
mitted. Just pass over your flag. and
scrape up some grub. I'll be breaking
out a big bamboo. There are plenty
of holes and loose stones on the cliff.
Well have the signal up before noon"
Miss Leslie murmured her thanks,
and Immediately set about the prep
aration of breakfast.
When Blake had the bamboo ready,
with one edge of the broad piece of
white duck dashed 10 it with catgut as
high up as the tapering staff would
bear, he called upon Winthrope to &C
company him.
You can go, too, Miss Jenny" he
added. You haven't been on the cliff
yet, and you ought to celebrate the oc-
casion.'

He SUES FOR
A COMMISSION

There is in progress this afternoon
in the county court "A very interesting
civil suit in which well known lower
valley men are involved.
Thomas Chopper, of Fruita, claims
that he sold tract of land for Dial
Dutton, that the consideration in
volved was $1,000 and that he was to
receive the regulation commission of
five per cent, amounting in this case
to $500. He alleges that after the
deal was completed button refused
to pay the commission and he asks
the court to force Dutton to pay the
same.
Dutton declares that he sold the
land himself and not through the
agency of Chopper or anybody else
and that Chopper is not entitled to
any commission.
