SUPERVISORS FEEL
CERTAIN OF VICTORY

The City and County Supervisors ar
feeling that they will win out in the
contest with the Mayor in the matter
of appointments and are even limiting
that the questions of authority and
procedure between themselves, be-
tween the six Republican members of
the Board, and the Mayor, will not
find their way to the courts for settle
ment
On the other hand the Mayor main
tains the attitude that there are ques-
tons that cannot be settled on of
court and his friends say that he is in
no mood for any compromise or re-
treat.
The Supervisorial majority is basing
its confidence of a settlement out of
court on report that the Mayor or his
friends cannot get or will not put up
money for legal fight and also on the
assertion that since the appointees of
the Supervisors are actually doing
the work appointed them to do the
only way they can be ousted is by
individual application. In the case
of John Cummins, for example, who is
an employee as the road overseer under
the appointment of the Board of Super
visors, they claim that the only way
Cummins, who is actually doing the
work. can be ousted is by individual
injunction by some one of the opposi-
ton to have him restrained from do
ing the work in which he is now ac-
tive, and that none of the opposition is

pense.

KILLED IN
ELEVATOR

Jack Wailea, native, aged about %,
for one and half years elevator boy
at the Alexander Young hotel, was
caught between the second floor landing
and the top of the freight elevator
about 6:15 o'clock this morning and
crushed to death When taken from
the jam it was found that his head
was smashed in, two ribs and the col
lar bone were broken and the body
was otherwise mangled. There were
no eye witnesses to the accident, al
though a Japanese helper named XII
noshita reached the scene in a very
few seconds.
Manager Hertsche Immediately in
stituted an investigation, which re-
suited in the above findings.
The dead man was elevator "boy' at
the maka lend of the building. At 6
O'Clock he went to the freight elevator
in the mauka end to relieve the regu-
lar man there for breakfast. Kino-
shita, the Japanese boy, was taking
ashes from the kitchen floor down the
elevator to the basement. On the par
ticular trip down the elevator had
reached the second floor when Wailea
was hailed by the regular boy, who
hda finished breakfast. A second later
the crash came.
While, as before stated, no one saw
the accident, circumstances indicate
that upon reaching the second floor
Wailea had thrown open the door and
attempted to jump out upon the land
ing This theory is borne out by the
fact that the body was caught between
the floor and the top of the machine.
The elevator cage is of the most
modern type and is perfectly safe. In
no way could the accident have oc-
CURED except by the deliberate OPP
ening of the cage door from the in
side and the attempted departure from
it by the boy.
The body was removed to the NOR
que where it was viewed by the fol-
lowing coroners jury: William J.
Smith, %. p. Hartman, Robert Clark,
w. Miller, John Wallace and VIII
liam Savidge The jury will sit at
the deputy sheriff's Office at z O'Clock
this evening to officially investigate
the case.
A brother of the dead man works
for Theo. Fl. Davies e. Company and
another brother is about town. The
father lives near Waialua and was
notified this morning of the accident
to his SON.

through two banks yesterday after
noon and used the wealth obtained in
one huge, good time. To be sure the
banks, the property of Daniel Kama,
were not as large as some in this city,
but they had an interesting patronage
of children and fulfilled an important

They were the small banks issued by
the Bank of Hawaii for children's saw

Out of one of the banks young Cue

other something over 50. This he
spent or made away with, for he had
little left when he told his story be-
tween sobs to Special Officer Medeiros

From the Democratic viewpoint the
matter will have to be settled in the
court and it is claimed that, as was
the case on the island of Hawaii be-
tween the sheriff and the Board of
Supervisors, the properly appointed
employees hold whether or not they
have actually performed their duties.
The Supervisors claim that they must
win, if for no other reason, on the
proposition that none of Ferns ap-
pointees are provided for in the char
ter.
Section 81 of the Act Incorporating
the City and County of Honolulu, says
that the Mayor, with the approval OF
the Board of Supervisors, shall appoint
all officers of the City and County
whose election or appointment is not
otherwise specially provided in the
charter or by law.
This is the section Fern stand on,
but the Supervisors declare there are
no Officers and have chosen employees
to carry on the work of departments.
