COMES On FIRST
VISIT To HAWAII
Mrs. Frances X. HeadIee Will
Arrive From Los Angeles
on Alameda.

Mrs. Frances King Headlee, repre-
sentative of the Hawaii Promotion
Committee in Southern California, and
one of the best lecturers in the West,
Oceanic liner Alameda on her first
visit to the Paradise of the Pacific.
Although Mrs. Headlee has been de-
livering illustrated lectures in the in
terests of the Hawaiian Islands on the
mainland for considerable time past,
she has never visited here.
ITO hear Mrs. Headlee pronounce the
difficult Hawaiian names, to hear her
enthusiasm regarding the present and
future of the Islands, one would think
that she was the veriest kind of a.
kamaaina," said w. H. Hoogs, mem
Der of the Promotion Committee, some
time ago when he returned from a trip
to the States. He had heard Mrs.
Headlee speak in Los Angeles, where
her headquarters are located, and he
was thoroughly satisfied that her work
is of the highest order.
She is now coming for a first-hand
knowledge of the country of which she
has been telling the people, and, be-
fore leaving, will have seen all the
Islands and every point of beauty and
interest on them. This has already
been attended to by Secretary Wood
of the. Promotion Committee, who has
gotten busy in arranging a travel
schedule for her. She will leave next
week for Maui, where all the scenic
spots of the island will be shown her.
Mrs. Headlee is bringing with her
the picture slides which she uses to
illustrate her lectures on the Yosemite
and on Alaska, and before she returns
to the mainland she will give talks in
this city regarding these places These
Will probably be under the auspices of
the Hawaii Promotion Committee.
Secretary Woods weekly letter to
the members of the Promotion Com
mittee was as follows:

Supreme Court Playing Politics.

We knew it would come in time
George w. Burton, Democrat, one
of the two elevator attendants at
the state house, has been dismissed
by the supreme court.
Heretofore these elevator attend
ants belonged to the adjutant
generals department, the same AS
all other employees about the state
house not directly connected with
any state Office or department, the
adiutant general being official Gust
odian of the state house and
grounds.
After the Inauguration of Cover
nor Harmon, two Democrats were
employed by Adiutant General
Wey brecht to run the elevators.
These elevators are no more part
of the supreme court than they
are of the attorney generals office,
or of the state board of agricul-
ture or any other state office or
department in the state house
annex. But the Republican legis.
lature by line 45l of the general
appropriation bill, took the employ
ment of these two elevator attend
ants away from the adjutant gen
eral and transferred them to the
control of the supreme court.
One of the Democrats employed
by Adjutant General Weybrecht
to operate the elevators was i'm
mediately discharged by the su
preme court and Republican was
put in his place. The other Dem
ocrat was PERMITTED to remain un-
til the end of June. The Repub'
lican elevator attendant is to re-
main on the job without vaca-
tion until the supreme court meets
again in the fall, when another
Republican attendant doubtless
will be named.
This display of ''lust for Office
and "petty politics" by the august
and mighty supreme court of Ohio
seems to be entirely satisfactory
to some Republican bosses and
party organs.

Looking In On Affairs at the
State House.

Since the removal of w. S.
Rogers from the office of state fire
marshal it has been possible to
look into the records to see how
that office has been managed or
rather mismanaged, to be exact.
Rogers had the Office just one
year to the day. Governor Harris
denied Governor Pattison's APP
pointee, d. S. Creamer, the extern
sion of one year which he served
himself, and he turned Creamer
out to put Rogers in. At the
time nothing was said by any Re-
publican paper about "lust for of
flee" or "petty politics. h"
When Rogers was appointed he
had two opponents, Fl. H. Hollen-
beck son of the first fire marshal
and Hy Davis who was fire marsha
during the Herrick administra-
tion. Rogers made Hollenbeck
chief assistant fire marshal and
raised the salary from $4,000 to
$2SOO; he also made Hy Davis
Especial counsel" about which
details will be given further along
Rogers also added another "spe-
cial COUNSEL and several "secret
service men concerning whom the
records also show or fail to show
some very interesting details.
One of the ''secret service" men
was Fred l Rogers. brother of the
fire marshal, who called himself
"a sleuth from the Atlantic to the
Pacific" He was on the pay roll
six and one half months, drew
$42S 26 as salary and 1914 O1 as
expenses. The records do not
show where he ever made report,
and his expense account-more
than double his salary-does not
show how much of the territory
between the Atlantic and Pacific
he covered in his travels. Fire
Marshal Zuber cut him off.
F. r. Fowler of Lisbon had been
on the pay roll four and one half
months at $s3 33 per month. He
was the departments electrician.
He also received S693 81 for ex.
penses. The record shows no re.
port, except expense accounts, for
the services rendered, 30 Mr.. Zuber
cut him off. Fowler is a relative
of Orlof Brown, who was first
deputy in the office under Rogers.
Another of these "secret service"
men was Preston McGoodwin, cor
respondent of the Plttsburg Dis
patch and other Republican news
papers. He was ON the pay roll
ten and one half months at $62 so
per month. The records do not
show where he ever made report
but the new fire marshal did find
on hand a number of copies of the
Pittsburg Dispatch of April IL.
1909, containing an illustrated
article by McGoodwin about fire.
