CENTENARY OF
HENRY ME|GGS
The Remarkable and Useful Life
of Man Who Commenced Career
AS Absconder.
(By Union Associated Press.)

Catskill, N. Y, July This village
was the birthplace, 100 years ago to-
and fame spread over both North and
South America. Beginning his ca
reer as an absconder this man, Henry
Meiggs, became the leading railroad
builder of South America and the
wealthiest lumberman of the United
States amassing a fortune of many
millions.
Meiggs was born here July I, 1911,
and went to California among the
early emigrants. Among the miners
and prospectors of the Golden State
he soon acquired an enviable reputa-
tion for integrity, and many of them
trayed this trust and fled to Peru,
where he began the building Of rail
roads. He carried to completion six
lines of railways in Peru and Chile
and began three others. His great
est achievement was the Callao, Lima
and Oropa railroad, connecting the
Peruvian capital with the Pacific. ana
even yet this line ranks as among the
most daring successes of modern en-
cheering.
From the millions he made in the
southern continent Meiggs repaid
with interest all who had claims
against him, and the indictments out
standing were quashed. He returned
to the United States, and during his
last voyage gave large sums, run
ming probably into millions, to various
charities. He died in Lima, Peru, in
1877. A statue of the railroad build
err has been erected in the capital of
Peru and centennial exercises on an
elaborate scale will be held there to-

LOVES DEBIT.

OF you, because you mean so much
to me,
I'd ask all virtues; first, a soul that's
free
From faint of aught that is not truth
Because you mean so much to me!
I'd want your heart as high DER others,
As is your dear, dark head-your
brothers
Welfare near to yours, and gentleness
to woman
Because you mean so much to me.
I'd have you careless of the sordid
gold
That furnishes ones hands-but bold
Where high courage is needed, and
CONTROVERSIES
Because you mean so much to me!
OF you, because you mean so much
TO me,
I'd ask each deed of yours wholesome
to be;
Proud to tell others that you are my

Because you mean so much to me!

Civic Federation Baked
On Proposition to Protest
Against Belt Road Contract

A resolution urging in conclusion
that all bids for the Heeia section of
the belt road be rejected was return
ed to the special committee present
ing it, by the Civic Federation execu-
tive committee at the open meeting
held yesterday afternoon to which the
public had been invited.
j. M. McChesney, chairman of the
special committee, presented the re-
port and resolution with some run
ming oral comments. A motion to
adopt it was made and seconded, and
discussion then invited.
James d. Dole argued against the
proposed interference with the loan
fund commission. The section of
road in question was the hardest OF
all to build, and in the worst place.
An exceptionally strong and durable
construction was necessary there, as
within a few years there would be
10000 tons of pineapples hauled over
it in probably five-ton loads upon mo-
tor wagons or wagons drawn by trac-
ton engines.
F. M. Swanzy followed with a
strong plea in vindication of the COM

missioners action. He deprecated the
attacks made on that body, which he
considered were not based on accur-
ate information. The commissioners
designed a good road because they
believed such was necessary. He hal
gone over the specifications and could
not see anything wrong with them for
the kind of road intended. 1t would
be a road like the new portion of
Emma street The speaker remarked
on the absence of criticism of the
road extending from the foot of the
Pail, which, he was informed, cost
$4,000 a mile but had been neglected
since building.
Percy M. Pond also spoke in favor
of non-interference with the commits
sion.
An amendment was moved, which
G. S. Desky seconded, referring the
matter back to the committee to OBJ.
tain more information and report.
w. A. Bryan, secretary, defended
the committees report, arguing that
the proposed work was too expensive
and that it was not right to lay the
burden of it's cost, when the bonds
became payable thirty years hence,

Francis NJ. Green, whose letter be-
fore published was the instigation of |
action by the Federation, explained
his position. He was moved to bring
the matter up by seeing the state
ment in a newspaper that one of the
bidders said he figured on $4,000
profit.
Arthur G. Smith, president, left the
chair to oppose the adoption of the
committees report Among other
things he said the litigation between
rival bidders had nothing to do with
the question.
The amendment carried.
Chairman Adams did not attend the
meeting, nor any other member of
the commission Mr.. McChesney stat
ed that the commissioners, Adams
and Petrie, had expressed their will
ingness to discuss the matter private
ly with any member of the fedora
ton. Engineer Gere had said that
he was at the call of the commission,
and would be glad to attend the
meeting if the commissioners request
ed him. The committee pointed to a
map and blue print plan on the wall
which had been loaned to it by the
commission.
Star Chamber Denounced.
Mr.. Green presented a resolution
but too late for action on it at this
meeting, which reads as follows:
Whereas, The taxpayers of the
Territory of Hawaii have been ex-
cluded from all meetings of the loan
fund commission, and
Whereas, After such meetings the
public have been refused full and true
information as to the details of the
proceedings; now therefore be it
Resolved That the civic fedora
ton of Honolulu protests against star
chamber methods on the part of any
and all elected or appointed bodies
which may have under their control
the use of public funds and be it fur
Their
Resolved That the civic federation
of Honolulu takes the stand that all
meetings of public bodies, elected or
appointed, having under their control
the expenditure of public funds,
should be specifically and by law open
to the taxpayers;
Resolved, That the law and order
committee of the federation be and
hereby is instructed to prepare for
presentation to the next ensuing leg
islature bill embodying such law or
laws as may attain this object"
Other Matters.
1t was voted to pay $25 for another
month as a contribution to the Public
Service Association.
A. F. Cooke presented oral reports
on the saloon question and the curfew
law. The saloon committee was in
favor of leaving the matter of licenses
for outside the fire limits to the Ii
cense commission. The petition for
a license in Kakaako had been with
drawn.
With regard to the curfew law,
Sheriff Jarrett and Detective McDuf-
fie had been consulted. They told the
committee the practice was to have
driven" of children once month.
Sometimes a part of the catch was
brought into the Juvenile court and
reprimanded. On some occasions, as
circumstances might suggest, leni-
ency was exercised, children within
the curfew age being allowed to stay
out till nine o'clock, or two hours be-
yound the limit. One of the chief
evils the officers mentioned was the
lettering of children about billiard
rooms.
