FREAK BALLOTING
COMING TO LIGHT

R. C. Lydeeker, librarian of the
archives, has commenced to destroy the
ballots cast in the territorial elections
of 1908, in pursuance to orders to the
archiye commission and is running
across numerous samples of freak vOt-
ing that he is keeping as "a souvenir
display TO illustrate the avoidance of
the law in this and other elections.
He has one city ballot which came
TO the archives by accident, where the
voter started at the top of the paper
and Xed everything from there down
until he got tired and then stopped. In
consequence he voted for three mayors
and ten supervisors while the sheriffs,
auditors, etc, didn't come in for any at
tention at all.
One staneh Democrat who was bound
TO defeat Prince Cupid at all costs put
two checks after MeCandless' name and
one after Motley; another one checked
all three candidates for the delegate
ship. On another delegate ballot tho
voter put a small cross nj the top Of
the slip and let II 90 at that. These
are the ballots, needless 10 say, which
were rejected by the Judges.
Lydeeker takes them as Illustrating
the fact that many men get 10 the
polling booth without being able 10
read either the Hawaiian or English
language ns required by law ~ The in
eimeiious are plainly printed ON tho
ballots in both languages.

NAY BRING TTALIANS HERE TO GROW. COTTON

Interest is being shown these days,
not only by planters and business men
of the Territory, but by members of
the territorial board of immigration, in
the possibilities of the cotton growing
industry here. 1t is stated on the best
of authority that the finest cotton in
the world can be grown in these Is
lands.
Especially is it believed to be adapt
ed as a paying crop for small farmers,
particularly as the cotton can be grown
on land which is unavailable for sugar
cane, or less adaptable, at least, for
cane than for some other crop.
Naturally one of the problems in con-
nection with the raising Of cotton, as
with sugar, is that Of labor, and 1t is
here that the board Of immigration is
interested directly.
There has been some idea of sending
to Italy for Italians, but this is not
certain as yet, DR.. v. s. Clark, the
executive of the board, stating that be.
fore this can be done negotiations will
have 10 be opened with the Italian
government. He believes, however, that
cotton Is destined, TO be one Of the
important crops Of the Territory.

WILL BUILD new
ROAD TO CONNECT
UP DIAMOND HEAD

An important change is to be made
in the Diamond Head drive as soon as
the final arrangements are completed.
1t is. proposed to cut new boulevard
through the Fort Ruger military re,
serve. on the Waialae side, which will
make a more direct route from Dia-
mond Head to and through Kaimuki.
:. at present the road which skirts the
shore and winds about the great extinct
crater forms a figure s as it passes
through the reservation between the
tents and residences of the men and
officers Of the artillery force stationed
there, with the result that the dust on
this popular drive for automobiles is
being constantly stirred up in the cen
ter of the camp.
With the construction of the new
road from the main drive on the K0kO
Head side of Diamond Head on a
straight line through Kaimuki, to join
with the Waialae road, the drive will
be greatly improved, there will be more
privacy in the reservation and the long
S turn will be done away with.
The Improvement win tend TO make
more popular than ever this scenic
route for automobiles as 1t will elimi
nate the only heavy grade on the road
and also do away with the ineonve
nienee Of being halted by sentinels in
the camp at night.

Supervisor Low Says he
Is Determined to
Know.
SOME DISCOVERIES
Sheriff Looking for Men
Who Drew Pay Not
Earned.

fThere are forty-nine names on the
city payroll for Cleanup Day to whom
no money has been paid for the reason
that they have not come around for it,
and am going to probe the whole
matter to the bottom" said Supervisor
Eben Low last evening, speaking of the
alleged graft of city employees,
One new feature which mas come out
in Lows investigations is that some
of the men whose names appear on the
payroll of the Cleanup Day committee
did not work at all on that day.
s'The tickets of the committee which
were issued to laborers were not all is
sued in the morning when the men went
to work, - said Supervisor Low. "Some
of them were issued the night before
and the men who received them never
turned up for work the next day at
ALL -
Four Times More.
In other cases the men worked half
a day and then did not show up in the
afternoon, according to the same
authority, and some of these men who
have drawn pay from both the com
mittee and the city government did not
work more than a half day and drew
pay for two days work.
Low has been probing into the matter
for several days and for three days he
was occupied in checking up the pay
rolls of the road board and the clean
up committee looking for names which
appeared on both lists.
Ernr, he inx,acts era tinuc ha halipyao
that considerable amount of money
was grated by the laborers and he is
going to find out just how much.
Sheriff After Them.
s'I have the sheriff looking for some
of these men whom ] want and when
this investigation is through am 60
ing to corral them all and have real
branding" said the cowboy supervisor.
He said that the Hawaiian papers
had been giving much prominence to
the matter Of the grating by the labor
ers and for that reason he believed
that some would not come for their
money.
The peculiar part Of the proposition
is perhaps the fact that Chairman
Woiters of the labor committee on
Cleanup Day issued the tickets to
laborers the evening before work was
commenced.
In some cases these men did not ap'
pear at all and in others they gave
their tickets to others who came around
the next day and collected the pay
withoat the formality of doing any
work in return for the money they re-
ceived.

No time is being lost by the terri
torial board of immigration to bring to
the Islands another ohipload of immi-
grants from Portugal. At this time
there is specially keen demand for
labor on the plantations and there will
be places ready for all labOrers who
can be brought here.
Negotiations are already under way,
by cable, for chartering steamer to
bring a thousand or more immigrants
here. A. j. Campbell, who was so sue
eessful before, is in charge of the negor
tiations and it is hoped that final ar
rangements viii be closed by the time
he starts for the Coast.
"We are simply continuing the uego-

One Of the commissioners stated that
the negotiations were nearly complete
and that only one or two clauses in the
charter of the steamer remained to be
settled. Every effort will be made to
have the steamer here with it's pas
sengers within three months.
