PIPE Line
PROPOSAL

At the meeting of the harbor com
mission this afternoon the Hawaiian
Electric Co. and the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Co. offered to put
an eight or ten inch pipe line around
the waterfront on certain conditions.
They propose to have the control OF
the line for twenty-five years, with a
saving clause that the Territory at
the end of ten years can obtain con-
troll by paying the full cost.
They will extend the line to the
heads of wharves, but leave the con
nections to be made by the Territory.
After some discussion the whole
matter was referred to the attorney
general. The superintendent of pub
lie works will look after the right of
way.

HEALTH MATTERS
ON THE BOARDS

There will be a meeting of the
board of health tomorrow afternoon,
when tenders will be opened for sup
plies for the Kalihi hospital. Beds,
blankets, pillows and like articles are
to be bid for, and it is thought there
will be some keen competition.
Routine matters will be taken up
at the meeting. The reports from the
other islands for the month of March
will also be discussed.
The tuberculosis exhibit, which has
been shown at the n. G. II. drillshed
for the past week, is being moved to-
day to the Normal school, where the
exhibition will be kept for some time
On Friday evening there will be a
lantern show, in which views depict
ing the various good and bad ways
of keeping a home will be thrown on
the screen.
The exhibit will be taken around
Oahu first, and then be moved to the
other islands.
DR.. Pratt, who has been laid up
with a bad cold, is slightly better,
and it is hoped that he will be able
to attend the meeting of the board
of health tomorrow.

ALBERT HORNER
ON THE CONTRACT

The trial of the case of Albert Hor-
ner against his brother, Robert Hor-
ner, was resumed in Judge Robin
sons court this morning with the
plaintiff still in the witness chair.
Albert Horner, under the question
ing of his counsel Frank Thompson,
told the court what he could Temeln
Der of the contract drawn up By his
father which restricted the sale CT
stock in J. NJ. Horner & Sons and Ku-
kaiau plantation. According "a the
recollection of the witness, the gist
of the contract was that none of tie
Horners should sell any of his stock
to an outsider until the other Iior-
ners had been given an opportunity
to buy it at the same price as that
for which it could be sold to aEoth.
er.
1t is this contract which Albert Hor-
ner accuses his brother Robert OF
seeking to violate. He claims that
Robert has entered into a contract
with Davies & Company to sell his
stock to that concern at 4 figure
which cannot be definitely learned
and that the plaintiff has never been
given the opportunity to buy the
stock at the same figure.
The testimony in the trial of the
case goes quite thoroughly into the
history of the organization of Kukei-
au plantation. The plantation com
pany was organized in 1884, the mill
being erected by Theo. II. Davies q

THE HILO PUBLIC LIBRARY

Governor Frear this morning signed
an executive order setting aside a
site for a public library in Hilo. Mo
ney to build the library has already
been found by subscriptions, and the

ed, and before long the block of land
bounded by Bridge, Shipman, Kuhio

How Water
Is Measured

Engineer Pierce, who is in charge
of the photographers of the Territory,
intends to pay flying visit to Kauai
within a few weeks. from now He
will investigate the work of his sub.
ordinates, and will look over the
measurements of running streams
that have been gauged by the field
men.
gDaily measurements have to be
made now, to be of any service. In
f&t, the acting chief states that the
flow of water in the streams should
b. measured twice a day, in order to
get proper data.
Measuring weirs are not built on
the mountain streams. A simple
method is used, and the principal arti-
cles needed are a straight stick, meas
ured off into tenths of inches, and a
velocity gauge. The latter is con-
structed on the same plan as ships
og, and the running water revolves a
propellor-like fan, which in turn reg
listers the flow of water in second
feet" The term gallons" is not
used by the photographers. Second
feet" conveys more to the experts
minds than the term which is gener-
ally used in these islands. The meas
uring stick gives the depth of water
and, to the engineers, the rest of the
calculations are easy.

MAIL SOONER

Efforts are being made to have the
mail from all steamers from the ORR
ent landed by launch as soon as the
vessels arrive off port. 1t is claimed
that delay, that sometimes loses
business to local firms, is possible
under the present method of hand
ling the mails from the Far East.
A petition is being sent around the
city and being largely signed, which
will be forwarded, through the local
postofIice, to the postal authorities in

fore the steamer arrives at the dock,
the same course should be taken in
regard to the Oriental mail.

the governor thought it was a good

Regarding a special session the
governor said that there may not be
one. At any rate it will not be
known for some little time to come,
whether or not there will be a spe-
cial session.

WHARF SCENES
IN PHOTOGRAPHS

At the meeting of the board of har-
Dor commissioners this afternoon, the
matter of the site for the floating dry
dock of the Inter-lsland Company was
taken up. The commissioners, yes
terday, had an informal meeting on
the waterfront and discussed the mat.
ter. When the Star went to press to-
day, the matter was still being dis.
cussed at the meeting in the senate
chamber.
The chairman showed some photo
graphs that he had taken on the vari.
GUS wharves of the harbor. Although
pictures showing a large number OF
drays stalled on the streets were pass
ed around, there did not seem to be
much congestion on the wharves them,
selves.
The opinion was offered that if
things were handled better on the
wharves, as regards stacking freight
there would not be such long strings
of wagons, loaded with merchandise
waiting on the streets.
Harbor Commissioner Wakefield is
away in Hilo, and the meeting today
lacked some of the ginger that has
been noticed lately at similar gather
ings. o. 4,
It is said that the floating dock of
the Inter-Island company will be able
to accommodate vessels up to 1000
tons.

COUNTY ATTORNEY CATHCART
CRITICIZES FIELDS REPORT
Honolulu, T. H., April 3, 1912.

Honolulu, T. H., April 3, 1912.
Editor Star: l notice in the morn
ing paper that Mr.. Field, in his re-
port to the Chamber of Commerce,
states that the city attorney of Mem
phis, Tennessee, prosecuted 2,7S7
cases last year, of which sixty-eight
were murder cases and 600 liquor
cases, at cost in salaries of $4,000,
and further that the city attorney
of Memphis has no stenographer or
office clerk, his force consisting only
of two deputies and a detective.
Mr.. Field, when requested this
morning by our department to furnish
the data on which the foregoing state.
ments were based, stated that his in.
formation was contained in a letter
which he had turned over to Mr..
Spalding, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, together with his re-
port. On calling on Mr.. Spalding, he
stated that Mr.. Field had turned over
no such letter or data. But on exam
lining the portion of the report of Mr
Field in Mr.. Spalding's possession
relative to the legal department Of
this city, l find that the statements
contained in the morning paper are
not correct, and that the comparison
Mr.. Field makes is with the county
of Shelby, Tennessee, in which the
city of Memphis lies. 1t should be
borne in mind that 10 proper COM
parison can be made between the

According to the Interpretation OF
local sugar men, the effect of the
Bristow amendment, should it be
adopted as a compromise, will mean
a reduction of but cents per hun
dred from the present duty on raw
sugar, or but 81 per ton; while by
the elimination of the differential be-
tween raw and refined sugar, it will
reduce the duty on refined from S1.90
per hundred to $1.635 per hundred, a
difference of .265 cents per hundred
or $3.50 per ton. 1t would thus seem
that the blow was Oeing aimed at the
refners and not at the growers.

SUPERVISORS ARE EXERCISED
ABOUT RAPID TRANSIT PAVING


Some feeling was displayed at the
meeting of the board of supervisors
last night over the refusal of the
Rapid Transit Company to lay the
same kind of pavement on its right
of way in King street as the county
has put down, which is bitulithic.
Chairman Dwight, of the road com
mittee, brought the matter up, saying
the company proposed to put down
macadam. He tried to find out just
where the city and county stood in
the NATTER but could get no satisfac-
ton.
Murray moved that a communica.
tion be sent to Governor Frear, ask
ing what steps had been taken by
the Territorial authorities to compel
the company TO comply with the
terms of its charter regarding main
tenance of streets.
Mcclellan thought the board should
find out from the attorney what
course should be taken. He under,

county of Shelby, Tennessee, and the
City and County of Honolulu, without
also including in the comparison the
legal force of the city of Memphis,
as well as the legal force Of the state
of Tennessee. The state of Tennes-
see is divided into sixteen districts,
under the supervision of the Attorney
General of the state, and in each dis.
trict there are one or more assistants
to the Attorney General, whose duties
are to prosecute criminal violations
of the state laws in the criminal
courts. In the city of Memphis there
are two Of these assistants of the At
torney General, and in addition the
County Attorney of the County of
Shelby and the City Attorney of the
city of Memphis and each of these
distinct legal departments has its own
staff, legal and clerical,
1t accordingly appears that ia Mem.

ments are required to do the work
that is done in the City and County
of Honolulu by the one legal depart
ment. And it should be understood
that each of those departments has
it's legal assistants and it's clerical
force.

on its face that the county attorneys
