Various Complaints EnIiVGn

FERN WANTS ROADS FOR POOR AS WELL AS RlcH-wooo
PAVING OFFER FROM cAsTLE-sIDEwALK ORDINANCE INTRO.
DUcEo-HAcK ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS PROPOSED

Otherwise tame with little business,
and that done without excessive talk,
the proceedings of the Board of Su-
pervisors last night we're enlivened in
spots by complaints of Supervisor Low
and Mayor Fern
Lows first grievance was about the
sidewalk ordinance submitted by Dep
uty Attorney Milverton. He did not
like to see it rushed" through, but
he subsidized when told that nothing
but the usual form of introduction was
intended at this time.
After routine business Low mention
ed that something was going wrong
in one of the departments, and by
gradual stages he made it clear that
he was charging the sheriff with max
ing appointments of persons not eligi-
BILE to office. It was contrary 10 law
to appoint men who were unable to
qualify for registration as voters, as
not having lived in the county for one
year. and this he said was the case
with William p. Miller, a patrolman.
Also it was wrong to appoint men on
the force who failed to pay their tax
es, and he named P. A. Borabaca and
Robert Swaden of the detective force
as examples.
The complaint was referred to the
police committee.
Mayor Fern brought attention to the
bad condition of Puunui road and the
road from Woodlawn to the Chinese
cemetery. Nothing had been done for
the former since he YVES mayor. To
his suggestion that the road might at
least be rolled Engineer Gere replied
that the roller would be lost if sent
Up there at this season. The mayor
observed that a man who put up a
$4,000 house was certain of having a
road built to it, and he considered that
poor people who had to pay taxes
were entitled to roads equally with the
rich.
]. J. Dias rose from a visitors seat
to describe the condition of Puunui
road, admitting he did not live there
now but saying he left the locality
because he could not get to his home
over that road.
Dwight did not want to hear about
any other roads until the work on
Nuuanu avenue was completed. 1t
was started before last year and was
not finished yet. The ways and means
committee ought to find more money
to push the work to completion.
Importation of Birds.
There was some discussion about
the expenditure of the hunting license
about which Treasurer Shing,e asked
advice a few weeks ago. 1t seemed
to be taken for granted it should be
used to aid in the importation of Jap
anose pheasants and the talk was
mainly about the placing of the birds
on arrival.
w. H. Charlock, representing a hunt
ing association, said although it might
appear selfish he thought the birds
hould be placed in game preserves
where they would be protected.
Mcclellan, on being informed that
the pheasant nested on the ground,
asked if the mongocse would not gel
away with them. Low answered that
the pheasant was fighter. The quail
will run from the mongoose but the
pheasant will probably show him
fight.

ALL GRADES OF NUTS
HIGHER THIS YEAR

Local dealers are now receiving
their holiday supply of nuts and it is
found that they will command a slight
ly higher price than last season. The
hickory nut crop this year was total
failure and there will be practically
none of that variety on the market.
There was however, "a good crop of
black walnuts which are selling at 80
cents a peck or 81 bushel
There was also a good crop of En-
gfish walnuts which retail for rs
cents a pound, Pecans are selling at
liz cents a pound, Brazil nuts at Is
cents per pound and almonds at 221a

MADAME EN- MA CALvE
Is WELL RECEIVED

Madame Emma Calve, who be- |
came so famous in the part of Car
men in the Bizet opera of that |
name, and whom there has never been
any to equal in the part, was the at
traction at the Illinois theatre Satur-
DAY night. The program was in two
parts, the first consisting of solo num-
bers by Madame Calve, Calico Ses-
parri, baritone and Emiliano Renaud,
pianist, and the second part of two
scenes from the Bizet opera. To
many in the audience it was Madame
Calves first appearance and they were
very much pleased, but to those who
have seen her in the opera where she
has become so famous the perform
ance of Saturday night was somewhat
of disappointment, and they were
able to detect an evident decline in
the voice of the great artist. The
resonant quality of the voice is still
there and the high tones are clear as
a bell, but the lower register lacks
much of the sweetness that was for
merly there. There is also a certain
lack of sympathy in the quality of the
voice, although the singer is very gra-
Cious and sweet. She was delightful,
however, in her song program but was
far better in the presentation of the
Bizet opera, where she was again in
her element One who has seen her
IL grand opera is apt to recall the
beautiful setting of the play, with its
accompanying chorus and costumes
which are lacking when the artist is
doing recital work, and which takes
away much of the inspiration of the
singer. The scenes from Carmen
were given in costume with stage set
ting. The part of Don Jose was taken
by Calico Sesparri, husband of the
great prima donna, who has a splen-
did baritone voice and who took his
part in the scenes in a very creditable
manner Emiliano Remand was at
| the piano and gave a sympathetic rem
| dition of the musical setting. He al
| so pleased in solo numbers. Signor
/ Sesparri gave several solo numbers
and in these he met instant favor The
audience insisted upon encores and
they were graciously given.
