from Kona that some of the Filipinos
who recently worked for the Kona To-

have had Manager Daniels arrested,

The charges, of which there are
four, are based on a section of the

500 to deduct, without formal judg-
ment, any part of an employees wages,
AS far as can be learned no one in

Daniel Logan threw a little more
light on this subject, and stated that
it was not up to the supervisors, but
up to the people to make their de.
mand plain and to see that provision
is made for this service in the budget
which must be completed before the

matter before the supervisors. The

Territory Should Reclaim.
On the subject of general santa.
ton, F. L. Waldron advocated having
the wet lands in Puunm, Palama and
Nuuanu district condemned and pur-
chased by the Territory, drained,
streets cut through, and resold. He
believed that the proposition is
good one from a business standpoint,
regardless of securing the elimination
of unsanitaTy conditions, since the i'm
provements would make the property
in question much more valuable than
it now is, and it would be in demand
for residence purposes.
Harry T. Mills wanted to know
what had become of the revolving
fund appropriated by the last legis-
lature. He thought that this money
might be used for just such a pur-
pose.
ID. L. Conkling stated that S125,O00
of the $25O,OOO appropriated has been
lying idle in the bank since last June,
and that the balance will be available
on the first of January. Mills thought
it was up to the Board of Health to
take up this matter, and moved a res
olution that the board should do
more and talk less"
Mr.. Waldron suggested that a meet
ing be called for the special purpose
of considering this feature of santa
ton, at which the officials of the
Board of Health, and others who haze
given serious study to the matter,

General sanitation for the city is
to be one of the important problems
with which the Oahu Central I'm
provement Committee is to grapple in
the future. This live confederation of
improvement clubs has already taken
the lead in one feature of sanitation,
by inaugurating and carrying out the
big cleanup day" campaign of last
June, which may well be regarded as
having been one of the prime factors
in arousing public sentiment to the
necessity for putting Honolulu in a
position where it will be practically
free from the danger of serious cpl
denies.
At the quarterly meeting held in
the Merchants Association rooms in
the Young Hotel building yesterday
afternoon the committee decided that
it could work along no better lines
than to follow up the work thus start
ed to logical conclusion As a result
| committees We're appointed to see
that provision is made in the next
city and county budget for a free
garbage system, and a special meet.
ing was set for November 8, at which
all leaders and experts in sanitation
in the city will be invited to be pres.
ent, with the object of formulating
some definite plans by which the city
may be relieved of the incubus of wet
land agriculture, with its attendant
menace.
Free Garbage Demanded.
Vice President b. Won Damn pre-.
sided at the meeting, in the absence
of President E. A. Berndt who is on
the mainland, and first introduced the
subject of free garbage He stated
that the committee had studied the
matter carefully, and was confident
that, under the new financial system
which will go into effect with the first
of the year, there will be no difficulty
in financing the idea, provided the
! people want it, The city and county

County Attorney Beers has been

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The War
Department has not taken kindly to
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS inaugu-
rated and thus far as mysteriously
maintained by someone unknown
calling on the school children of the
United States to raise SG50O00 by
means Of One-cert contributions, for
the purpose of completing the work
of raising the Maine. Acting Secre-
tary Oliver, when first shown the cir
cular letter sent to governors calling
for contributions, immediately an
nounced that the government could
not countenance the movement, and
would not accept the money if raised
unless specially authorized by Con-
gress so to do.
But the effect of the anonymous
communications has been to practi-
cally insure the completion of this
work-a fact seemingly beclouded
with grave doubts a few weeks ago
1t is now thought that on account of
the agitation caused by this mysteri,
Gus communication, Congress will be
induced to take up the measure and
provide sufficient funds to complete
the work. The threat to raise the
money by popular subscription un
doubtedly puts the matter up to Con
