MARINE:

Salvage demands for many thousand
dollars may be made by the owners of
the steamer James Makee which
brought the German ship Nordsee up
from Waianae yesterday and took her
safely to port The Makee stood by
the FLYING Dutchman as water
frontiers now term the runaway vessel,
and when the captain had severed the
last connecting links of the scores of
fathoms of anchor chains, the James
Makee was her only hold.
It was an expensive trip ashore
which Captain Peitsmeir of the Nord-
see made last Tuesday afternoon, dur
ing which time a strong wind blew off
the land and dragged the ship from
her anchorage. The chains for both
anchors ran out swiftly through the
hawse holes and as she drifted off
there were many fathoms hanging out
on both sides OF the bow, and a three
ton anchor at the end of each chair.
All of that chain and the two an
ehors now rest on a coral shelf some
distance off the Naianae shore. There
is a question as to just how much
chain has been lost, as some say l25
fathoms were paid out on one. side
and 95 on the other. Taking the lat
ter figures as correct the captain
dropped 1920 feet overheard. with

This was approved by the board.
The city physician asked for an as

In a letter to the board the Mayor
strongly recommended that the streets
leading to Fort Ruger be built or re,
paired as the case may be. The road
committee has already acted favorably
on the matter and viii start things
moving next month.
Road Supervisor Wilson notified the
board that leaves of absence had been
granted three men of his department
who were members of the National
Guard He had to put on men to take
their places and the aggregate OF all
salaries would be $500. He asked that
this be paid out of the general fund
and not debited to his road fund. Re
ferred to road committee.
The road supervisor also stated
that he had to make unusually large
payments for crude oil, school grounds
curbing, for new wagons, etc, and the
bill was about 1916 This dug into
his road allowance and he asked for
special relief. He wanted to do extra
work on outlying roads just now as
the season of bad weather was APP

continue such work then. Referred to

Logan said he did not believe in turn
ing good service.
When the Mayor suggested that a
test case was sure to come, Aylett sug-
gested, fin rather hating manner,
that if any blame was to follow, it
should be put on the legislature not
on the board. The principal element
of dispute was over the frsh inspector
ship The Mayor declared it was a
poor payment for services to throw a
good man out for within.
After putting the Mackall and Mon
sarrat appointments, Kane offered the
name of. William Isaaes as fish inspec-
tor and both his name and Lanes went
before the board without the Mayor
putting the motion, declining to do so.
Logan got in his famous 81, 2, 81 mo-
ton and Lane was selected.
When the assistant inspectorship
came up Aylett said he knew the fish
inspector was paying a small sum out
of his own salary for an assistant.
He said that in previous years the Chi
nese ishmarket men had paid the sala-
ries of the inspector and assistant.
Then he went on to say that there was
rigid need of inspectorship as he saw
in the Advertiser recently picture
showing ice beng packed away in Japa-
nese sampans for deep sea fishing. Who
could tell now whether fresh or iced
fish was being put on the marketa It
was very grave subject-to him.
Then motion was offered that the
new appointees should commence their
duties on September 1, and it passed.
Another ordinance declaring the ap-
pointments legal, was also passed, the
Mayor passing the buck again to the
board.

exceedingly angry and proceeded to
vent his anger upon his better half,

Kalihi Camp, and the little family mis-
understanding caused considerable ex-
element among the neighbors.

Mayor, who states that he was right
and the Supervisors wrong, which end
ed in a passage alarms between His
Honor and Aylett, father of the sani-
tary ordinance.
Aylett was backed up by Deputy
County Attorney Milverton, who said
the Supervisor was absolutely correct.
He quoted from Act lis, Session Laws
of 1909, which amends subsection l Of
the Session Laws of 1907, otherwise
the Municipal Charter Act. relating to
the powers of the Board of Supervisors,
as follows:
81. to make and enforce
within the limits of the City and Coun-
ty of Honolulu all necessary ordinances
covering all local police matters and of
matters of sanitation and health, in
spection of buildings, condemnation of
unsafe structures, dairies, milk, fish,
cemeteries, etc. 80 y; to appoint
city and county physicians, sanitary
and other inspectors as may be neces
sary to carry into effect ordinances
made as aforesaid, who shall have the
same power as given by law to agents
of the Board of HEALTH
hV 4ho.y . COuIGullUu DIS VI HIS OWN
rights was based on the provisions of
section 81 of the Municipal Act of 1907,
which gives him the right to appoint all
officers of the city and county.
Aylett' S resolution showed the "nig-
ger in the woodpile' of the new law,
as 1t provides an opening wedge for the
Supervisors to get even with the Mayor
for his successful test in the courts to
make appointments. Further than this,
persons who have studied other new
ordinances declare there are more
Africans concealed who will be trotted
out at the psychological moment to
confuse the work of the municipality,
or at least to block the Mayor, who
declared last evening that he had been
reminded by the Board members that
he was but "fgure-head" and with
out vote.
The Mayor was not without backing
however, among the Supervisors, for
Mr.. Cox asked to be excused from vot-
ing on the new appointments on the
ground that he was not sure of the
legality of Aylett's motion Aylett s
motion included the following list:
City and County Physician, DR..
Bruce Maekall (incumbent); Meat In
spector, DR.. W. T. Monsarrat (incum-
bent); Fish Inspector, Lot C. Lane
(new appOintee); Assistant Fish In
spector, Albert Woodward, NEW ap-
pointee); Sanitary Inspectors. r. P.
Cummins (new appointee); John Vivi-
ehaves (incumbent); morgue attendant,
Louis K. Kane Gncumbent). The
changes were T. P. CHmmins, former
road supervisor to take the place of
j. f. Durao as a sanitary inspector, and
Lot {. Lane as fish inspector, vice Viii
liams
The board rescinded the list of
Mayor s appointees and then proceeded
to vote on the new list. The Mayor
said he had acquiesced in his appoint
ments to the wishes of the political
majority of the board and the board
ought to abide by the appointments,
and not throw out even the last Demo
crat IN office. He said he did not wish
to be understood as talking politics,
but showed the members wherein he
had deferred to their wishes when he
had the full power of appointment.
