Yes" anything connected with
It," answered Richards.
yes, look into the Legality Of
the contracts. the payments and so
forth. added Scott.
There was some further discus
sion, in the course of which the opin-
ion was unanimously expressed that
there was so much money at stake
that the committee should be given
unlimited powers.
Scott added in closing that It was
very necessary that the work should
be pushed along. as the Honolii
bridge was in very poor condition.
If that should break down IL would
be ne essary for people few miles

For Comment

HILo. Hawaii. July %. -- The
Board OF Trade has decided to make
q full ard complete investigation Of
the building of the new Honolii road
by the county. Every phase of the
matter including the actual con
struction and the legality of the con
tracts and the payments made there
under, is to he miEutely sarutinized,
and to show that the board means
business, the committee which has
been given this work In hand has
been empowered to employ legal as
sistance II It finds 1t necessary.
The matter was brought up at the
meeting Of the board held last
Thursday afternoon. when the re-
port was read from Engineers Rich
ard Quinn and A. A. Wilson. who
were few weeks ago appointed a
committee by the board to examine
the work done on the road so far.

liminary report, which will probably

The fact that the engineers had
been hampered in their work,
through an apparent lack Of plans
and specifications relating TO part Of
the work, was the subject OF consld-
cradle comment.
Secretary Mckay stated that he be-
lieyed, from what he had been able
to learn, that there were no such
plans. He had asked the County
Clerk for the plans and Specifications,
and had been given a bundle of doc
uments, but Mr.. Quinn had said that
II did not contain all the documents
needed. Mckay had asked the clerk
for further documents, and had been
told that Chairman Lewis OF the
Board OF Supervisors had them, and
that he would furnish them, but they
had not put in appearance. Presi-
dent Richards and Mckay had then
again asked for more plans, but there
seemed to be no more such in exist
ence; ut least, the County Clerk
thought there were no more. f.r
This is certainly very remark.

An advertisement of THE French
Students Masquerade" took me to a
theatre devoted usually to German
drama and opera. There ] found new
idea in operation. Bits of Theatre per-
Torrance were not given on the stage,
but on the main floor among the dane
ers. Hired players personated students
and their girls of the Latin quarter in
Paris. They were French really enough,
and didn't wear masks. Their be-
havior reminded me of the mock gaiety
that l had seen at Partisan resorts
maintained for the delusion of slum-
ming tourists, especially American, Ger
man and Russian. The actors at the
bali were sufficiently clever to simu-
late spontaneous fun. The first thing to
expose the deception was an apache
dance that broke out about midnight
among dancers in a corner. There had
been much merry-widow Waiting sug-
gestive of stage training. Now young

a scientific phrase, for everybody per-

Soon after that, a quadrille octette re-
sponded as though impulsively to Of
fenbach's cancan music, and the girls
kicked back t. the time when Aimee
brought the frisky dance to America in

of the students for possession of the
prettiest of the cancaners. A genuine
policeman had been tipped off, and the
fooled spectators wondered why he
didn't interfere, until floor managers
made an ado of extricating the girl and
expelling the men. Thereafter, false
exuberance helped on the real frequent

for feet in dancing. A strong-jaw wom-
an caught a fellows cravat in her teeth
and whirled him that way in waltz.

A Prepared Performances.
A comedy with plot and characters
worked into the masquerade and was
half over before the general assembly
knew it was a prepared performance.
A naive girl and bashful young man
pretended to be couple right from
their wedding. Their clothes and man
ner indicated a start in matrimony.
Confederates whispered it to the crowd.
A fussy mother gave confirmation. She
was proficient actress, for her anxiety
when a burly fellow asked the girl to
dance, her manner like hen protecting
her chick from hawk, and the be-
havior of the newly wed, told sis plain
