viii Ask Mrs. Barnett to Ap-
pear and Tell of Protection
q by Atlanta SIeuthS.

Mrs Hattie Barnett. Atanta's woman
detective, will be formally requested to
appear before the police commission at
its next meeting and tell "all she knows"
about protection of vice in Atlanta by
unlicensed private detectives. This ac-
.tion grows out of the recent sensational
statements made by Mrs. Barnett to
Police Chief Beavers.
Some of the police commissioners
nave been in conference since the wOm
IAN sleuths accusations became public
and one Of these officials told a Geor-
gian reporter today that Chief Beavers
would be directed to INVITE Mrs Bar
nett to impart to the commission any
information she may possess.
This idea Of vice being protected in
Atlanta is Il serious matter. and we
want to get at the very bottom Of it
and ascertain the truth" said the com
missioner.
Board Seeks Light.
He also announced that, in addition
to Mrs Barnett, the police commission
ers are anxious to hear from any one
official or private citizen-who may be
able to throw light on the vice situa-
tion here. &
I'VE want to hear from anyone who
can enlighten us on creokedness con
erning vice in Atlanta said the com
missioner. SHOULD any person know
anything along this line and not wish
to appear before the commission. we
would be glad if he or she would write
TO any one of the commissioners The
addresses of all Of the commissioners
can be obtained from the office of the
chief of police. What we are after is
light on this subject-all we can get.
This attitude of the commission
promises a lively investigation.
That Mrs. Barnett will appear before
the commission at the next meeting,
however, is doubtful When asked to-
day if she would comply with the re-
quest Of the commission, she said she
was already making preparations to
leave the city on vacation, and would
probably be absent at the time of the
meeting She expressed a perfect will
lingness, however. to go before the COM
mission and make a statement on her
return.
Willing To Appear.
She reiterated her statement that she
knows what she is talking about"
u am willing and will be glad of an
opportunity to appear before the police
commission. frankly state my position,
and give any information | can. but
doubt whether | win be in the city at
the next regular meeting" she said y
am making preparations now to go
away on a vacation, and expect to
leave within the next three or four
days | have not had a vacation in
nine years. and feel that | need rest.
If | should not get back before the
next meeting, / will appear before the
commission at the following meeting, if
It is desired ! am satisfied l can tell
the commissioners enough to warrant a
thorough investigation"
In the light of Mrs Banetts w
lingness to appear before the commiA
sion and the fact that she voluntarily
laid her charges before chief Beavers
and also Chief Of Detectives Lanford.
it is not likely that she win be served
with subpoena. She will merely be
verbally invited to appear before the
commission.

reading the statement in the Mellette
County News Of last week that the
Northwestern Ry. had their road sur.
veyed from Carter through Berkeley
to White River, we started out to
hunt up the survey stakes so as to
verify the statement. 1t is not nee
cessary to state that we did not find
them for the Northwestern eve did
place any survey stakes on the route
mentioned. They have driven over
this country, however, and looked
over several routes, and favor the one
through Wood as being the easiest
and most practical one,and when they
do decide to extend west from Winner
il will be through Wood, Dr. mighty
close to Wood. But what's the use.
They will not be along until next
summer, anyhow.

Takes Exception to the Article.

In a recert issue of the Gregory
County News, appears an article on
the first page, about a gentleman who
lives in Nellette county losing some
horses, in which he blamed the whole
county. the Indians, and takes an .oc-
casional kick at Uncle Sam. This is
a good county to live in and people
who have been here way before that
gentleman ever thought Of coming
will tell him so. A man who gets in.
to trouble with his Indian neighbors
in this country is considered selfish
and unreasonable. You cannot expect
anything else when you fence your
100 and turn your stock loose on
other peoples land. You cant dc
that in the older counties where herd
laws are ia force.
The News goes a little stronger and
calls the mixed blood Indians more
vicious than any animal, ETC., and a
few more things which shows ignor'
ance on the part Of the originator OF
the idea.
The News is read by many Of the
educated Indians but il il dishes Out
this kind of trash, no doubt the better
educated class will pass it up fol
some other papers worth reading.

CHARLES CHILLINGWORTH -
shall certainly support the enactment
of a direct primary Law by the next
Legislature.
A. v. GEAR was not correctly
quoted about the election Of a presi-
dent in the event of a deadlock What
said was that the Senate; If the
House failed to elect the president
would have to elect the vice president
who would be president to fill the va
cancy. But did not say that the Sen
ate would so elect Taft.
/, INSPECTOR GlBSON-The trouble
with local politics is the same expe-
rienced in every large city on the
mainland-the average citizen is too
lazy to come out and vote, but prefers
to turn the polls over to the bosses,
and then, when a lot of inefficient
officials are put in power, the same
average citizen sits back and says
that the country is going to the dogs.
W. F. WILSON The Portuguese
and other residents have to thank
Governor Frear, Attorney General
Lindsay, l.. Commissioner Tucker
and Surveyor Wall for the great trou-
BILE they have been put to in carrying
through the Auwaiolimu land matter.
The Public Works Department has be-
gun to work on the street grades, pre-
paratory to calling for tenders for the
construction of about four miles of
new streets throughout the district.
If 1t can possibly be arranged for the
electric light, telephone and police and
fire call wires to be put underground,
it will help to make Pun ehbowl slope
one of the prettiest residence districts
in Honolulu. "

makes the earth fruitful
Already an S,000-ton steamer, operated with
Diesel engines, has made a round trip from Lon
don to the Far East. In Hawaii engineers
whose scientific minds are vivified by magma
ton look forward few years to the time when
steam-driven engines will be a curiosity on the
Pacific. 1t is we'll known here that Oil is much
used as fuel, some of the Inter-Island vessels be-
ing driven in this way, but not on the Diesel
principle The oil here is used to generate
steam, the steam being the immediate driving
force, whereas the Diesel principle uses oilburn'
ing direct.

people of this territory, whose prosperity de-
ponds on efficient sea-transportation.

WILL ASK NEW BIDS
ON ROCKY HILL RESERVOIR

Marston Campbell, superintendent
of public works, today rejected all
the bids for the contract of construct
ing the Rocky Hill reservoir, and will
readvertise the job, opening new bids
for, the work September II. The low.
est bid, that of the Lord-Young En-
cheering Company. was $4,000, or
about $4,000 more than the amount CT
the last reservoir contract previously
given.
1t is understood that the rejected
bids are too high, in the Superintend
ent's opinion, and that the readver-
tisement is made in the hope that
lower. figures may be obtained, either
from the recent bidders or from new
concerns -.

The decision of the army defense
board relating to roads is by far the
most important action taken, from the

roads will be under military care and

Endorse Murray Plan.
When Major General Arthur Muir
ray, commander Of the Western Di
vision and former Chief Of Coast Ar.
tillery of the army visited Oahu last
Eecember and made a strategic cruise
around the island with Admiral
Chauncey Thomas, on the flagship
California, he gave: to the Evening
bulletin correspondent who made the
cruise with him by special permits,
sion Of the Navy Department., an ex;
elusive interview, in which he told oi
military roads as the key to defensive
effectiveness. - y >..@.
1t was then announced that Oahu
was to be girdied by a chain of de-
fensive Notifications. That mortars,
those bulldogs of modern ordnance,
were to play the most important part
in the general scheme, and, that they
would bark defiance and destruction
at any hostile ships that might at
tempt to cover the landing of an
armed force on the island. Military
roads we're TO play leading part in
this defensive plan, and it now seems
that the present board of army stra'
tegists, composed of the brainiest
men available for the detail have
fallen in with General Murfay's ideas,
and that a new Oahu is soon to be
moulded by men in khaki
Some Position" Guns.
It is cleaned that the mobile army
is to be increased by many troops to
properly man the new. Notifications,
and that all possible landing places
on the coast will be guarded by 'po-
sition" guns of small calibre, besides
the 12-inch mortar batteries. Bat
teries of field artillery will be posted
at some central location, presumably
Schofield Barracks, ready on instant
rotice to converge on the threatened
points of attack, viz, the military
highways which the Macomb board
has now decided are of vital import
ance to the defensive strength of the
Gibraltar of the Pacific"
According to the Murray play,
which, it is understood, the present
board has endorsed with a few modi-
t;cations, the mortar batteries will be
so disposed, along the entire coast
line of Oahu that the zones of fire
will reach every point of the sea ap-
proaeh, the nearest point which any
war vessel could come without being
within range of some mortar being
10000 yards.
