The acting governor today exprnsa-

No Way Yet Found to Con-
Struct WaiaIua Plant With
in Appropriation.

After working on the problem Of the
Waialua waterworks for some time, the
oahu loan fund Commission has not
building the much-needed works in the
appropriation of $4,000 made by the
last Legislature.
Engineer II. Stuart johnson of the
commission and Members Joe Fern
and Sam Dwight met at Haleiwa last
Tuesday morning and canvassed the
proposition which has already been
given much attention by the other
members of the commission. Chairman
Andrew Adams, II. II. Petrie and Mar
ston Campbell
Chairman Adams says that the diff
nCulties are manifold II has been
found impossible to secure the water
from Waialua plantation, for the plan
tation can not enter into a contract to
furnish the water daily. on account of
the uncertainties of irrigating its own
canefields. Nor Is gravity system
practicable, as the wells are not sit
uated high enough to furnish the nee
essary head" II pumping plant is
decided upon, its upkeep, which will
fall upon the city and county, will be
rather expensive.
The engineer Is going into the en-
tire proposition thoroughly" said
Chairman Adams, but the outlook for
getting the waterworks built within
the appropriation is not bright"
Chairman Adams expects to call Il
meeting of the commission shortly

A new angle was given to the case

which led to the detention of a Rus.

story is that he heard shots and ran

To Cross Ocean in Motorboat.


NEW YORK, n. Y, June 3. - The
latest project of Thomas Fleming Day,
editor of the Rudder, is to attempt a
voyage across the Atlantic ocean In a
35-foot motorboat. He sailed last year
from Providence TO Rome in the tiny
yawl Seabird, but save for the test %
seamanship, this was not such a feat
as the proposed motorboat trip, for the
Atlantic had been crossed in a small
sailing craft before.
Day expects to start either from
Boston or New York during the latter
part of this month to traverse the
waters In which motorboat keel has
never left track. Queenstown, Ire.
land is the port of destination select.
ed by Day, and the voyage will be
doubly hazardous, because the route
will lie along the steamship lane and
the mOtorboat will be but a speck on
the waves of the Atlantic.
The boat selected for the trip IL of
unusually heavy construction, with a
tank capacity for 1000 gallons of gas
Oline. Her speed Is about FIVE nauti.
cal miles an hour loaded and six nauti.
cal miles an hour light. Day figures
that she will cover In ocean travelling
an average of 40 miles a day.
There are accommodations on the
boat for crew of five men-two In
the engineroom and three on deck
The motor is from ten to 12-horse
power and the engineroom crew will
stand siX-hOur watches. Provisions
for ninety days and 200 gallons OF
