Efficiency, l say again, can only
be had by paying for it. Take the
county engineers Office for instance;
when that office was created you ct.
tached to it a salary whereby eficient
men would be induced to take the
office, and you did get a man
whose capability, competency and
efficiency can not be questioned. When
he took over the office he likewise
asked you for an appropriation with
which to hire a capable, competent
and efficient force OF assistants. You
gave him what he asked for without
any restrictions as to how he should
use 1t, you put no obstacles In his
way and he is allowed to pay his
laen whatever he sees fit What is
the result? We have today a county
! engineers department that any coun-
! ty, city, territory or state in the
whole Of the United States would be
proud Of, and energy, competency and
! efficiency rules supreme. Such is
what suffciency OF funds can do. Did
l have a fair show, gentlemen? Time
and again have asked you for add.
tional officers; time and again 1 have
asked you for better pay for the police
| officers; but all my requests and all
my appeals have flown to the four
winds. You gave me what you
thought was good for my department
and let it go at that. In other words
you practically tied my hands be.
hind my back and expected me to
rear an efficient police force. When
the crisis came and public sentiment
was aroused over the state OF affairs
the police department was in, did you
give me your right hand Of fellow
ship? I must say no. Your very
resolution voiced the public criticism
that was hurled at me from all direc-
tions although I was doing the best
/ could Under the circumstances. Cen
tiemen, all l ask OF you is, that you
give me your right hand Of fellow
ship, give me the help necessary TO
put the police department in that
state OF efficiency which the commu-
pity demands 1t is within your pow
or and within your power alone to do
so, and 1t is therefore up to you gen.
tlemen to make good"

SHERIFF PUA PUTS REFORM
Of THE HILO POLICE FORCE
UP TO THE SUPERVISORS

Especial Correspondence OF the Starr
HILO, June AT a meeting of the
beard of supervisors on Wednesday,
letter was received from Sheriff
Sam Pua replying to a resolution crit
ic!sing the police force and their man
aGement. The sheriff claims that the
police Of Hilo is above par, taking
into consideration the amount of NOM
ey the said police receive for sal
aries"
The sheriff goes on to show how
limited in number the force is in pro-
portion to the territory to be cover
ed He describes the three watches
Of the twenty-four hours and their
duties, and in conclusion says in
part:
81 will however admit that the said
police could be made more efficient
and am glad to say that the reso
luton just quoted has pointed out the
means and by whom such efficiency
could be brought about. The reso
luton suggests two ways Of obtain
ing improvement and efficiency:
! 81. BY transferring the incumbent
Of the Office of captain of police Of
the said department who draws 6
monthly stipend Of 800 to another
position in the department, and
"2. BY appointing another gentle
man who you consider to be compe
tent and efficient in his place at sal
! airy of $3.50 per month. There's the
whole thing in a nutshell. Improve
ment and efficiency in that particular
Office is to be had by increasing the
salary from 800 to $3.50 per month
That has been my contention righ
! straight along, gentlemen, If you wan
efficient men you must provide fol
good salaries. The same thing an
plies to the rest Of the police Off
GERS or IN 1act TO anybody In any
walk Of life. All over the world eff
cient men require good salaries. What
can be expected Of a police office
who gets from $40 to $45 per montl
for salary when the Japanese steve
dores loading ships and to WHOM
competency and efficiency does no
apply receive more money per d.,
: for their services than the policeman
does.

cooked vegetables, fruits and nuts.
Would she be tagged and hungry?
Right here It may be said she was
not. and the reason I'll tell later as
she did herself.
Shortly after the hour of down
69d street walking west, appeared
three figures-a woman in a white
sweater and gray skirt stepping
triskly, and with her the expected
newspaper men.
How Mrs. Beach Appeared.
As the photographer adjusted his
plates the little party approached and
instincrively the woman's hand reach
cd to her cap and brushed back the
little black curling lock of hair that
strayed from beneath. The cap was
a soft gray felt hat that had been
provided with strings that held it in
place in defiance Of wind. The dark
hair in the mornings dampness curl
ed Of its own accord and the face.
, deeply Drowned and burned by the
sun and wind on the journey, looked
fresh and happy and in nowise fur
rowed or lined as one might expect
from so strenuous an undertaking,
The dark eyes were as bright as a
childs, the figure, of medium height
spoke first of symmetry and agility
The white sweater was of silk knit
, ted and the skirt a gray brilliantine
that showed the hard usage 1t had 70
ceived. One Of the noticeable things
in the costume were the shoes. They
we're built for comfort, thick soled
ard broad toed, high and laced in
front. Twelve pairs, Mrs. Beach said
she started cut with and she had mo-
needed all of them-four pairs prop
erly chosen, she admitted, would have
been sufficient.
"WeI and Not at All Tired"
Perfectly well and not at all tir
ed" was the assurance the traveller
gave of her fine physical condition
About nine pounds of flesh had beer
lost on the way, but she was bette
lid of that, she declared.
'But aren't YOU hungry? Wouldn'
you like a real meal?" I couldn'
help asking.
"Why, no, indeed?" came the an
swer quickly. Don't you see I an

We're undoubtedly under scrutiny and
the robbery planned accordingly.
Recently the city has been overrun
with riff ran, including men who have
been given inducements to come to
this city TO act as parasites upon the
public. The robberies might be traced
TO this class of social teaches, but
there are so many OF them in a certain
district of the city that It is well nigh
impossible TO point 10 any certain one
as a probable culprit. This district is
reported TO be infested with hundreds

MERCHANTS CLAIM
ROBBERIES FAKES

That the long list of petty depreda-
tons of the last few weeks have been
part Of a conspiracy to discredit the
municipal administration is the state
ment of many of the merchants and
business men who have been the vic
tins of the thefts or the attempted
thefts. The fact that the actions
of the thieves has pointed to
desire TO rout the police
department rather than from any
motive to secure any property Of
intrinsic value makes the allegation
that enemies to certain of city govern
ment administrators stand out promi-
nently.
In the dozen or more efforts which
have been made, very little of value
has been secured. Thieves have de-
voted their efforts toward entering
the buildings and then creating gener-
al disorder rather than any attempt

several instances, the breaking of door
