Contractors
Strong lnsinuatiOnS that Everything
was not Above Board.

Honolulu contractors who return-
ed from Maui, where bids were
opened Saturday on belt road and
bridge work, came back with in
dignant stories that hinted at some
thing queer in the handling of the
bids.
w. r. Patterson of Wailuku was
the lowest bidder in each case. Pat
terson had not been figured any
where in the running and his vict-
ory was a big surprise to the local
men. Their own bids were cut un-
der, and Patterson's bids were just
under the engineers estimate,
though as the estimates were public
this may mean much or nothing
Hugh Howell, engineer of the
commission, was in Honolulu to-
day, but could not be reached by
the Bulletin. 1t is known, however,
that he secuted any idea that Pat
terson could have been favored.
The Honolulu contractors have
no definite charges to make for pub
lication, in the absence of united
protest. The talk, however, is
widespread, and news from Maui is
that some of it has been INDUCED
in up there. One of the contractors
here said today that while Patter-
sons bids have caused much COM
ment, he has no idea that the Wal
luku man was favored. .-Buihetin.
The above clipping from the Bull
letin is mild compared to the talk
of the contractors before they left
Wailuku.
If these contractors have any real
tangible proof of underhand dealing
in this or any other contract which
has been given out on Maui, they
Should come forward and give these
proofs to the public. Otherwise
they are as guilty as those whom
they accuse.
On the other hand if they are only
talking for effect and have nothing
to back up their statements, they
should be ashamed of themselves,
to say the least. Empty words have
no effect other than to leave doubts
in the mind as to the truth of the
matter, whereas proofs if there are
any belong to the people who pay
taxes.

Baseball Games.

A few ball players and their as
sistants went over to Lahaina last
Sunday and attempted to play ball,
but because of the fact that the
lineup was composed mostly of as
sistants, the brand of ball played
was very crude. The Lahaina boys
put up very creditable game and
with a little practice in order to inn
prove their team work, they should
give any of the teams on Maui
hard time beating them.
There ale enough real ball players
in Wailuku, who could be induced
TO get into the game, and thus put
up a creditable exhibition. No
doubt those who played in the La
haina game did the best they could,
but Wailuku wants better team
than that TO represent it ON the dia-
mond. Billy Bal pitched a un-
iformly good game, but lost heart
at the poor support he received.
Second base was the only position
on the Wailuku team where any
thing like ball playing was attempt
ed, outside the battery work. We
hope it will be a long while before a
Wailuku team puts up such another
poor exhibition.
The Wailuku's and team from
Puunene will play Sunday on the
Wailuku grounds at 2 p. IN.

WOMAN IN MAINE COURTS.

For the first time in the annals
of the United States circuit court
Of the Maine district has a woman
been admitted to practise before the
federal courts. Upon the motion Of
Arthur Chapman, assistant United
States district attorney, Miss Eva E.
Bean Of Old Orchard has been ad-
mitted to practise in the United

OLD FISH TRAP DESTROYED
MIssourl Continuance That Dates
Away Back From Time Of
the Indians.

Emmett c. Higgins and Otto
Witt, game wardens, destroyed with
dynamite the fish trap on the Chari-
ton river. It had been in use for
many years and was netting its own
er from $4,000 to $500 a year.
Ben Clark. the owner of the place,
protested that he had purchased the
trap along with the farm and that
the fishing rights had been handed
down for years to the owners of the
farm.
He declared that he could not be
deprived of them by law. There
were many farmers waiting around
the trap for supply Of fish, for
which they paid four cents pound.
The fish usually caught in the trap
were buffalo, cat, carp and croppy,
weighing from one to fifty pounds.
Catfish weighing 100 pounds have
frequently been caught in the old
trap.
The trap was a curious invention.
consisting of heavy timbers placed
midway of the stone dam. Fish
coming down stream would float
into it. The catch for a day would
frequently fill an ordinary farm
wagon. It is said that the dam and
trap were originally built by the In
dians. The owners have cleared
more money from the sale Of fish
than from the produce of the farms.
Frequent complaints have been made
made of this method of catching
fish, but until few days ago no
action was taken.-Kansas City
Times.

An Amazing Success.

There never was time in the
history of the world when good
stories and articles could command

magazine that the Record-Herald
furnishes as an integral part of it's
Sunday issue.
The Sunday Magazine of the
Record-Herald compares favorab-
ly with the best weeklies and mon
titles, and has some merits pecu-
liar to itself. Its outward form
and its cover pictures in colors are
beautiful. The most famous writ
ers and illustrators contribute to it

last decade. To furnish such a
magazine with every of big Sun

ture, yet several years of complete

the idea. Nothing else of the kind
can touch the Sunday Magazine Of
