SUIT FOR SIS, 900
AGAINST III. J. CROCKER
Litigation Over Action of the
Harbor Commission

A suit for $4,000 damages agains,
Henry J. Croker, arising out of his
actions as member of the board of har-
Dor commissioners, was fled in the
superior court yesterday by NJ R. Rob
erts-
Five coal hoppers that were operated
on the water front by Roberts were de-
clared to be an obstruction to com
merce by the board in resolution
adopted November l, 1907.
Seven days later what Roberts de-
scrtbes as "a pretended sale" was held
by the commission. and the five hop
pers were sold to the state for 81 each.
These hoppers were afterward de-
stroyed, but others were constructed.
Roberts asserts that the principle of
the hoppers was invented by his father
in 1877, and patented for the Excelsior
coal company. In December. 1905, the
business was assigned TO him. and un-
til, as he alleges, the harbor board de-
stroyed the business, he earned $1,000
a month from it.

"YOU ARE A LIAR"
---NEWSOM To MOHR
Former City Architect Keeps His
Temper and Reiterates
His Charge
Saws That Member of Board of
Works Approved His Use
of Automobile

Following a heated discussion with
Michael Casey and William A Newsom
of the board Of public works yesterday
morning. former City Architect Nor
mand W Mohr announced that unless
his salary demand for the month OF
April were forthwith approved he would
bring suit against the city for the sum
of $500 AS an Offset TO the salary de-
mand Casey urged that bills for auto
hire amounting TO $14S95 incurred by
the architect in his official capacity
should be charged to him personally.
The bills covered a period of two
months and represent the cost OF
Mohr's daily visits to the public work
under construction in different parts of
the city. He stated that Of the amount
$3.50 was properly chargeable TO him,
but that the remainder was a just
charge against the city. He declared
further that the Indebtedness had been
incurred with the approval of the
mayor and of Newsom. The latter al
once entered a protest in vigorous Ian
guage.
You are a liar if you say 1 author
lied that bill" said Newsom.
STATEMENT REPEATED
Mohr replied quietly, again making
lied the expenditure. A series of de-
malls and assertions followed and Mohr
finally left the Office.
This is a just claim against the
city" said Mohr later 1T has always
been customary for the city architect

ferent works. The loss of time and
wages Of workmen would amount to an
enormous sum if the city architect were

Casey and Mohr had been at logger
heads over alleged defects in the con-
struction Of the Mission grammar
school, the outgrowth of which was the
discharge Of the city architect
SPITE IS CHARGED
Mohr declared after the episode that
the move was a petty attempt to vent
the spleen OF the board upon him be-
cause of his criticism of the construc-
tion Of the Mission grammar school
and he reiterated his charge that the
steel work between the roof and the
ceiling OF the top story was seriously
defective. He pointed out that accord
ing 10 his own report and that of W. c.
French. a steel expert, as well as F. W.
Frost, another architect, girders used
in the construction were in danger of
buckling in case of an earthquake or
heavy shock. Such buckling, he de-
clared, would endanger the solidity of
the entire superstructure and in case
Of collapse would result in the killing
Of a number of school children.
Mohr also charged that steel bracing
rods had been put in place carelessly.

one instance q steel girder had been
so poorly set that it could be swayed

Kahn made an inspection of the

prepared to make an active campaign
for the improvements. As to burn

that their steaming radius will be in
creased from 5000 to 5000 miles, thus
making IL possible to make Hawaii a

BULLETS NARROWLY
MISS PASSENGERS

There Is some mighty reckless
marksmaDship being displayed by
what are claimed to be National
Guardsmen in their almost daily
practise at the life targets near Ka-
kaako.
A score of passengers on board the
Young Broth ars' Waterwitch had a
close call from being the mark for
some stray bullets that hummed dan
gerously near their heads this morn
ing. The practise is one that Is
bound to result in the serious injury
or death of those travelling by launch
or boat unless n halt is called. II Is
claimed that rifle practise should be
directed towards another portion OF
the open sea when 1t is easily seen
that to continue to fire at the estab'
lished target means the possibility OF
stray bullets coming perilously close
to incoming steamers or the pathway
of small launches. The matter will
be carried to the Federal authorities
unless more care is exercised by the
rinemen.

Ford has brought forth production

THEATER CROWDS and The

The remarkable change that has

quent the theaters OF the city nightly
and more especially on Saturday
evenings.
Five years ago, or even two years
ago, the exhibition of our people
crowding to overlooking the six or
more theaters of the city would have
been astounding. The town has grad
ually grown up to 1t however and the
principal comment is a query as to
how long II can or will keep up.
Saturday night crowds will con-
tinue to increase as long as the town
continues to grow. and just at the
present time there is no indication or
suggestion that the population of Ho-
nolulu will move other than forward.

support of the Hawaiian band as a
public institution.
The municipal band IL kept up to its
old-time standard, serves a three-fold
purpose.
1t gives the people good music free,
| without in any way interfering with
the enterprises conducted for profit
II perpetuates the music of Hawaii,
the Hawaiian songs and the instru-
mental selections that. under the in
| fluence of the cheap theater are in
danger of passing out of existence.
The Hawaiian band is an institution
for preserving the folk lore and cul-
ture of old Hawaii as expressed in its
beautiful music, that can be duplicat-
ed in no other place on earth.
II gives the public renditions from
/ the worlds masters of music, and Is
the only source the general public has
for obtaining real music without pay
ing high price. And il stands to rea-
son that music of this character
should be put in the hands of a first
class musical organization, one that
will not murder 1t.
Let us not forget that the distinct
lively Hawaiian music can be kept
alive in these days only through the
Hawaiian band.
The best way to keep In step with
the progress of new era, is to carry
along the most commendable and pop
ular features of the old.
