Park commissioner Hurlbut when
informed, Thursday morning, by The
TimesS of the delay In opening the
bath house on the Fourth" and OF
the impertinence OF certain atten-
dants, said:
II didn't know that the bath house
was not open at a. m. on the
Fourth" Il Is possible, however.
that II was not open at that time.
Just now the attendants are work.
ing very hard and very late at night,
and II Is possible that they may be
q little late In getting around in the
morning. The bath house is supposed
TO close at s in the evening, but the
attendants are seldom away from the
building until 9, and II Is we'll on to
IL before they get home.
ut would be impossible to open
the bath house before a. m, be
cause we have no funds for the EN-
ploying of extra hands, which would
be necessary for an earlier opening
The same sized force used In the
day would be required earlier In the
morning.
The fact OF the matter is that the
attendants are now overworked. The
hot spell has put lot of extra work
on the men and women employed
around the bath house. Why, do you
know, We may have to close the bath
house for day TO catch up with our
work? In the past Ave days not one
of our big batch of bathing suits
has been dried. They have all been
washed and placed In the drying
room, but they were there only is
minutes, just long enough 10 get the
sand blown out of them. Some OF
our laundry workers are worn out
and II Is impossible to get others
to take their places.
The present building and equip
ment have outgrown their capacity,
and II simply means that more &C.
|commodation must be furnished
When we pointed out to the alder.
men and estimators I'm the past that
more room was needed, they laughed
at US and said the bath house was
merely a fad with US. We saw the
need of more equipment and room
and the aldermen and iestimators
ought to be now convinced that we
were not asking for something we
didn't need. AS II is now, only SAC
people can be comfortably accom-
modated In the water at one time
We have had 1000 In the water al
once, but they were not taken care
of with any degree OF comfort. We
ought to have an appropriation OF
$72 900, so that We could provide nc.
commodation for 2,l00 bathers al
once and give US sufficient bathing
suits, towels, etc Just now we have
only 1000 suits, 5000 for the men
and 1000 for the women.
The commissioner said he would
deal with the matter OF impertin-
ence II the attendant who was al
fault could be named OF pointed out
1T would be hard to find out just
who was impertinent on the occa
sion mentioned" said the coInmiss
Toner, unless we had something de
finite to work on. II We started out
to investigate In general way. all
the employees would deny the accuse
ton"

yond the report, which stated that an
attempt was made to enter the resi-

Mrs. Johnson was awakened shortly
before one o'clock on Sunday morn
ing by the sound Of glass breaking,
and on investigation she found one
of the windows of the house smashed.
She got Mr.. Chillingworth to tele-
phone to the police, and by one
o'clock Detective Kellett was informed
Of the occurrence. He went along to
the house, searched the premises and
the surroundings, but failed to find
anything in the nature of clew.
Detective Not Notified.
Chief Detective McDuff1e blames
the police department for not sending
him notice of DR.. Walters report,
stating that had he had any news Of
this attempt he would have put men
on at once. Without being informed
of the report he could not act until
it came under his notice, as it has
now done in a roundabout manner.
1t is not the f1rst time that such an
omission has been made by those re-

duty at the time the report was re

House Returns Garbage
Service To Supervisors

Senate bill amending the law re-
lating to the Board of Health was
read third time in the House this
morning. Rice moved an amend
ment to strike out the provision Civ
ing the Board the garbage removal
service in Honolulu, which carried,
and the bill as amended passed by
the unanimous vote OF rne twenty
nine members present.
1t was explained by the chairman
of the finance committee in moving to
strike ou, the garbage provision,
that the amendment restored the bill
in that respect to the form in which
it was printed. The reason for not
transferring the garbage service from
the Board of Supervisors to the
Board of Health was that the latter
wanted $4,000 appropriated for the
purpose, but the item was one of
those that the finance committee had
struck out of the appropriation bill.
Towse's bill 70 regulate primary
elections, ETC., passed third reading

lone one. 1t applies only to the city

Shall Honolulu's water and sewer
works be placed in the hands of a
commission?
This is the question now particular
ly agitating the Senate.
Senator Judd says yes, emphatical-
ly. Senator Cecil Brown says no, with
a note of warning to the effect that
the act would be unconstitutional, and
what's more to Hawaii's immediate
concern, such an act if unconstitu-
tional, would hurt this territory in the
negotiations for issuing bonds to re-
alize cash for many needed improves
ments.
House bill 1876 came up for second
reading in the Senaet this morning on
report of judiciary committee, Judd
chairman, the majority recommending
the passage of the bill, while the min

posed it in a few words, declaring he
feared the act would be unconstitu-
tional.

that the commission could better ad-
minister water and sewer affairs than

The designs Of a burglar upon the

"Toodles." He saw the figure of a
man dimly visible in the darkness
near the window.
In response to DR.. Walters interro-
gaton as to what he wanted, the man
Jumped on the window sill and disap-
peared. He ran along for a few feet
and then Jumped over to the pathway,
a distance Of about fifteen feet. DR..
Walters ran downstairs, expecting to
find the man with a broken limb on
the ground, but instead, all he found
was a portion OF lady's shirt waist
and towel.
Reported to Police.
DR.. Walters, finding that nothing
had been stolen from his house, die
not report the matter until the after
noon of Sunday, when Mrs. Walters
telephoned to Police officer Leonard
