SUPERVISORS TO
PRINT A PAPER"
George HenshaII to Be Editor
OF Latest Publication for
Honolulu.

In compliance with the law the board
Of supervisors has decided at the elev.
enth hour to appoint clerk to prepare
a report of the proceedings of the pres.
cnt board since it went into office in
January, 1912, to be laid before the
legislature. The board met in caucus
Friday and selected George H. Hen.
shall to prepare the report, and TO edit
a neostyle record containing every item
Of business transacted by the board.
The report will be published after
each meeting of the board. and will be
published primarily for the benefit of
the mayor and supervisors and heads
of departments, although additional
copies will be run off and distributed
to whoever asks for them.
The action was rather sudden and
was taken at special meeting of the
board at which five members were
present. The question of the employ
ment of clerk to comply with the law
was discussed at length and in view of
the fact that when the last board went
out Of Office no report of their pro-
ceedings had been compiled, the legis-
lature made inquiries. Bert Riven-
burgh, secretary to the mayor, COM
piled report and covered the law as
best he could. The present board was
entitled to employ clerk at $50 a
month for the purpose of preparing a
report. The board at its caucus raised
the $50 to 800 a month and will re-
port at the regular meeting August 6.
The Municipal Record, which may
be the name of the neostyle publica-
tion, is to contain not only a record of
the transactions of the board but the
work of all the departments. 1t may
result, so city hall officials hope, in a
more uniform system of preparing re-
orts. At the present time the reports
are as varied as the number of men
employed and Philadelphia lawyer or
few Gooding Fields would be neces'
sary to make head or tail of the
tangle.

THIRTY-THREE YEARS AT THE
HEAD OF QUEENS HOSPITAL

and Drs. A. C. Rothrock and A. r..
Thomas, internes. They are graduates
of the University of Pennsylvania.
"The original hospital building was
finished in 1860 and is of coral. In
1874 two-story wooden building was
erected and was taken down in 1904 to
make room for the Pauahi wing, named
after the late Princess Pauahi n three
story building containing three large
wards, twelve private rooms and an
up-to-date operating room with all the
necessary accessories. In 1879 a two
story brick building was erected and
again, in 1892, being unable to accom-
modate n sufficient number of patients,
and the need of better private accom-
modaticns becoming apparent, the
Bishop Annex, two-story brick build
ing, was added to the hospital plant.
This building contains seven private
rooms and large ward, which is main
ly used for patients sent by the U. s.
Marine Hospital Service. The erection
of the Bsnop annex and Pauahi wing
was made possible by the generosity of
the Hon. Charles r. Bishop.
"While the number of patients-an
average of seventy fve-has not
cHdHPeu much from year 10 year, lne
personnel has done so to a surprising
degree. This is especially true since
the erection of the Pauahi wing. In
former years many operations were
performed in private homes. They are
now done either at the Pacific Sanitari-
UNI, the Children's Hospital or the
Queens Hospital, and that the sur.
geons of Honolulu are up to date is evi.
deneed by the small number of deaths
following operations. During 1910 and
1911, 1924 operations for appendicitis
Were performed at the Queen g Hos
pital alone, with only one death.
'There are eight endowed beds.
Four were endowed by the Hon.
Charles r. Bishop. Over these the
Ladies Strangers Friends Society
has the control. One is also by A. A.
Corniot, which is in charge of the
French Consul; one by Mr.. j. f. Hack

Benevolent Society; one by Mrs. T. r..

with the San Francisco attorneys. Ac-
ZION of some kind would be taken, he
thought, in couple of weeks.
The bitter quarrel between the sons
Of Claus Spreckels, John d. and Adolph
on the one side and Rudolph and An.
gustus on the other, arose out OF the
will of their father, bequeathing all of
his property in trust TO Rudolph and
Augustus and his daughter, Mrs. Fer.
Tis, explaining his failure to provide
Tor the other two children by stating
that he had done so in his lifetime.
To break the trust thus created, John
d. and Adolph commenced suit in the
alifornia courts. They won in the
lower court, but the supreme court OF
the state reversed the decision.
In this connection it is related that
the famous San Francisco attorney

sent them in the appeal to the state

SHOOTING OF WOMAN
REMAINS A MYSTERY

Mystery surrounds the shooting of a
japanese woman in Hilo a week ago
and apparently there is no clue to the
person responsible for an effort to muir
der the woman, if such was the case, or
the cause of the shooting, in the event
of its being an accident. The woman is
in the Hilo hospital and will recover.
During the afternoon of July 81 sew
eral persons heard an explosion in a
stable in the heart of the city, but no
special attention was paid to it at the
time. Later a Japanese woman was
found with.a serious gunshot wound IN
her leg. She was taken to the hospital
and the police notified. Among the
Japanese of Hilo it is the general be-
lief that an attempt was made to muir
der the woman, but there have been no
developments by the police as yet to
prove this.

(From Sunday IS Advertiser.)

(From Sunday IS Advertiser)
John ID. and Adolph Spreekels want
the Supreme Court of the United
States to pass upon their contention
that the trust created by the will of
their father, Claus Spreckels, is illegal.
For this reason their local attorneys,
Kinney, Prosser, Anderson & Marx,
have been instructed to give naticc TO
prospective purchasers of the Honolulu
real estate holdings of the Spreckels
heirs that they intend to assert rights
in the property. From this property
the homestead at Punahou is excepted,
as this was owned by Mrs. Spreckcs
and therefore is not in dispute.
When options were obtained some
time ago by the Henry Waterhouse
Trust Company, Limited, for the pur-
chase of the Honolulu holdings of the
Spreckels it was thought that the deci-
sion of the supreme court of Califor-
MIA would be accepted as defnitive by
John and Adolph. The effect of their
determination to continue the battle,
milking haWall lne Helu Oh dctlOn, VIII
likely be to call off all negotiations for
the purchase of the downtown prop
erty, unless Adolph and Augustus offer
10 give warranty deeds protecting the
title from any and all future claims.
Even if they choose to do this, pur-
chasers might feel reluctant to accept
the possibility of being entangled in
legal difficulties. One of the pieces in
volved in the wrangle is that on which
the Star-Bulletin has considered the
erection of new building.
The firm of Kinney, Prosser, Ander-
son & Marx has been retained to rep
resent the Spreckels brothers ever

tive purchasers of the downtown prop
