That the Poulsen Wireless Company,
which has entered into arrangements
with the local wireless company for a
series of transpacifc wireless tests, is
a sound concern, able to carry out its
promises, is evidenced by the follow
ing from the columns of the San Fran

"After an expenditure of some $780,

street-Paving Experiments.


AS regards the question of street
paving we intend to spend big amount
on TINS When everything gets into
of the standard pavings will be given
trial. The results may not be known
for durinr the next two years but even.
tually we will be able to find out which
suits the local conditions best and then
as the others wear out we can replace
them with the pavement that we have
found is the best, or at least the board
that is in power then can do so. The
whole of the downtown streets will be
attended to and the roads brought to a
state of perfection.
The schemes mentioned by Murray
are to be very extensive The plan is
to lay aside a sum of about $4,000 a
month to be expended on permanent
rOadways, letting contracts for various
streets. This will be paid for by in
stallments of $4,000 month until final.
ly the city finds itself with good streets
and ones that will cost comparatively
little to keep in repair.
Reorganizing the Road Department.
The whole of the road department is
to be recognized.
"That is all we can do" explains
Murray. ~ know that the appoint
ment of the road supervisor is in the
hands of the mayor, and, that if we
refuse one man, he will appoint an.
other man. This being the ease all we
can do is to try and run the road de-
partment as cheaply as we can. Eben
Low is round today making a tour of
inspection and will prepare a report on
1t. We are going in to cut out some
of the dead wood that has aec1muIat.
ed there A great amount of needless
expense has been going on and all we
can do is TO try and curtail this For
instance, out at Kaimuki there is a
job going on where lot of money is
being wasted gang of four men are
employed and besides this there is a
steam roller with an engineer and
fireman. So slow is the work, how
ever, that it is only every now and
then the roller is wanted, but the ex.
pense Of its upkeep goes on all the
time, and this is the sort of thing that
we are going TO stop.
Every department connected with
the roads Is to have a thorough overs
haul and when the pruning is over
then we expect to be saving a good
deal of money!

WHAT SUPERVISORS
ARE EXPLAINING
The Road Department Is 10 Be
Thoroughly ReOrganized-
Street Paving.
tFrom "wednesday Advert ser.

Supervisor Murray has quite lot OF
schemes in his head for the furtherance
Of the interests of Honolulu and yester
day he expressed some Of them. The
first matter touched was the question
of taking away the money now paid
to the promotion committee and giving
it to the band
"Our idea is this" he said; tive
consider that the band is part Of the
promotion work on this island and that
they are entitled to have something
done for them. The tourists and the
public like the band and especially the
singers, As you know, the band needs
more money and we don't exactly see
how they are going to get it; from us,
q least The proposed move we are
= will not come into force for
tire months, however, and by that time
something may have turned up. What
we are really thinking of is that the
legislature may be induced to grant the
promotion committee permanent sub
sidy and thus make them safe.
We don't want to interfere with the
work the committee is doing, but we
can not let the band slide altogether,
As far as the plank in our platform is
concerned, to tell you the honest truth
have been so busy with all the rush
of work that has been necessary that
| had forgotten about its stating that
the promotion committee should re.
ceivo liberal allowances. Anyway 1
think the way out of it will be found
by the Legislature granting them a per.
manent subsidy.
May Cut Band Membership.
As far as the band proposition is
concerned" the supervisor continued,
=" was talking matters over with Cap
tain Berger and suggested that he
should do away with few of the newer
members of the band and keep the
eighteen ola ones on. If he does this
1t Will mean that the band will be com.
prlsed of eighteen members and that
they will all receive an addition of ten
dollars a month. They should get some
pretty fair music out of eighteen of
them and then when the time comes for
further consideration of the question
we may be in position to do some
thing for them. One of the singers will
be left, and ] am adverse to cutting
her out, because, although they can
hear plenty of bands over on the main
land, the tourists strike something new
when singing is introduced Eventually
we hope to be able to establish the
band on proper basis and get them
their own instruments. Captain Berger
also wants to start the custom of MAX
ing the pay depend on the service that
a man has put in and not only on how
he can blow an instrument, for at the
present time there are men in there
getting sixty dollars month who have
only been in few months, and, along.
side them, are Others getting the same
amount who have been in there for
years.

SIMS WAS too

His Offers OF American Aid to
Great Britain Gets Him
Reprimand.

WASHINGTON, January 10.-Presi-
dent Taft has ordered that reprimand
be given TO Commander VIM. s. Sims,
U, 5. ~, on account Of his speech at
the Lord Mayors dinner in London in
honor Of the visiting American fleet.
In the course Of his remarks at the
banquet, Commander Sims declared his
opinion that Great Britain could depend
upon the aid of the United States In
case of war between the United States
ami any other country, lie remarked
in eloquent language that he believed
that America would fight to the last
limit to aid the British.
The remarks of Commander Sims Gre
ated quite sensation, and were taken
up in Washington as improper for nm
officer of the naval service. The defense
was made that Sims was expressing his
personal views.
President Taft's decision announced
today means that officers in the service
have no right to express such views in
public.
The case was originally referred to
President Taft, and Rear-Admiral Muir
dock, commanding the third division Of
the Atlantic fleet, to which the Mime
sofa is attached, for information. eablod

marks. Meyer referred the matter 20

1t is noted that Commander Sims was
careful to say that the sentiments he
expressed were only his own personal
views, and the point is raised as 10
how far a naval officer can go in pub
licly declaring his opinions when they
bear an international aspect.

BROOMS AND BRUSHES.
All Kinds, Fine and Coarse, Made In
Detroit

The manufacture of brooms and
brushes is considerable line OF in
dustry in Detroit, or perhaps fine dis
tinction would say two industries, as
there are numerous manufacturers of
fine brushes who do not produce
brooms and broom manufacturers
who do not produce fine brushes.
The household broom with which
housekeeper or maid sweeps carpet or
floor, the sorubbing brush with which
the vigorous woman makes white the
coarser woodwork or clean the tiled
floor, the while on her knees, and all
the variety of brushes are made In
Detroit, OF good quality and in ample
quantity.
AS might be expected in a paint
headquarters town like Detroit, the
paint brush in all it's sizes and varie-
ties is manufactured here and is
naturally of the best OF quality to
pass the critical inspection of the
wise in the brush and in the article
in which 1t is TO be used.
Whether one wishes TO brush his
shoes, his clothes, his hat, his teeth
or his hair. TO sweep the carpet or the
floor lightly or with great outlay "
elbow grease, the brooms and brushes
on which could truthfully be marked
made in Detroit" are TO be had in
numerous stores and shops for the
asking. There is no excuse for anyone
to get out of doing the work on the
ground that there is no broom or
brush about and that it is difficult

abundant and OF flrst-class quality
and reasonable price.

Better workmanship is also being

OF all grades. the invention or ma

for the improvement.
The growth OF the candy trade In
Detroit in the past 10 years or so is
simply marvellous said one or the
Detroit manufacturers I'VE believe
that We are somewhat responsible
for the increase ourselves. in that
we have taken steps TO produce bet

Now that Detroit has about reach

Therefore, don't lose your breath

GERS OF the city in year represent
value of $50, 100000. a per capita
outlay OF 500. This estimate Is
based on the calculations OF one OF
the shrewdest men in the wholesale
grocery trade of Detroit, a man who
estimates carefully and well before
he makes a statement for publica-
ton. The grocery trade, as o matter
OF fact, has kept pace with the Dig

shown an increase OF about oO per

In the wholesale grocery trade OF
Detroit some OF the brainiest men
OF the city are engaged. They are
constantly planning TO boost their
own interests and at the same time
take .nto account the welfare OF the
retailer. One of the chief aims OF
the conscientious wholesalers OF the
present day is to work hand-in-hand
with the retailers and prevent them
from getting loaded up with more
goods than they require. Also. the
fair-minded wholesaler is taking care
to stock up with goods of absolute
quality, rather than take any chance
on selling his retail customers an In
ferior article.

advice to the retailers. Part Of It's
